The karaoke machine is the most annoying invention in Britain,a survey (民意调查) for the government found.It found that the Japanese invention topped a list of inventions that people wished had never been invented.
2,584 adults were surveyed in England online.Among them,22 percent chose the karaoke machine.17 percent said 24-hour sports channels,12 percent chose video games,while 11 percent said mobile phones and seven percent said alarm clocks.“Seeing the karaoke machine at the top of that list made me smile,” said Kane Kramer,a director at the British Inventors Society.
“When people are singing karaoke,they are enjoying themselves,but as a member of the audience you are just watching somebody who can’t perform for as long as you can bear it.It is antisocial (令人讨厌的).You might have 10 people who want to sing some karaoke,which means 150 people have to suffer it.But the crazy thing is that people still do go just to be a listener at other people’s inability to sing.After a short while—unless they’re very drunk—they’re going to find that listening to performers failing to perform for two hours is not the best way to spend the evening.”
Karaoke has turned into a very large industry since being invented in 1971 by Daisuke Inoue,a worker in a club in Japan who was looking to provide music for a customer who wanted to sing on a company trip.
Asked what people would like to see invented in the future,18 percent said a robot cleaner and 16 percent said a time machine.Asked what the most important safety inventions were,69 percent said the smoke alarm,64 percent said seat belts and 29 percent said baby seats.
21.What do we learn from the survey?
A.Half the people surveyed wished karaoke machines hadn’t been invented.
B.Smoke alarms embarrass people a lot in many cases.
C.Alarm clocks are a must for everyone.
D.Some people are not satisfied with mobile phones.
22.The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refers to the fact that________.
A.people who can’t perform sing karaoke
B.many drunks go and sing karaoke
C.people enjoy themselves by singing karaoke
D.people watch others perform
23.According to the passage,the karaoke machine________.
A.needs to be improved
B.was invented in the 19th century
C.gives a lot of people the chance to sing
D.was invented by a British person
24.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The time machine will come out in the near future.
B.The seat belt is one of the most important safety inventions.
C.Most people surveyed hope a robot cleaner will be invented soon.
D.The survey was carried out around the world.
25.The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to________.
A.introduce some inventions to us
B.advise people to give up the karaoke machine
C.tell us some details about a survey
D.give his opinions about the karaoke machine
Ⅳ.信息匹配
A.To be seen and noticed by the leaders
B.Learn and use new skills
C.Do what you are supposed to do
D.Get useful information and advice
E.Look for someone to guide you
F.Keep it in mind:work hard
26.
Keep in mind that those who play a lot and hard can loose but those who play smart will always win the day.These tips when employed well will be your tickets to the top.The first thing you need to do is look at your performance.Are you doing what you are supposed to be doing?When you know what is expected,you will acquire a momentum that will lead you to the right direction.Otherwise,there is no need of outdoing yourself and others when you are not delivering the right results.
27.
The other tip that will make you stand out from the rest is hard work.You need to do extra and ask for more.The workload might be overwhelming but promotion only comes to those who are excellent or do things that are out of the ordinary or beyond expectation.You must employ extreme dedication to make sure that even as you ask for more,you do not compromise on the quality of work you deliver.
28.
Another tip for promotion is the workplace is to have a presence.You must be seen at work not just by your colleagues but by leaders in your line of work.Take advantage of every opportunity to interact and know that people on top keep a keen eye looking out for those who stand out.
29.
Do not be shy to embrace new skills and explore a variety.Promotions only come to those who are aware that this is a dynamic world that smiles on those who are willing to adopt new skills.Devote yourself to doing things that are considered extra and do not be afraid of this.This will go a long way in making you the person for consideration when it comes to promotions in the workplace.
30.
Another tip is get information first hand from those who are on top.Talk to those that have been promoted in your organizations and seek advice.Remember,you do not have to learn throught what they say but can learn through their character and how they do their stuff.Action will speak louder than words.However,you need to be aware that you are doing this to make yourself important and not to become another person.Often times,many workers seeking promotion will pretend to be something they are not.

2.Adevelop an interest in sth.指“养成对某事的兴趣”。
3.Bbe crazy about表示“对……狂热的”。be curious about表示“对……好奇的”;be concerned about/with/in表示“对……关心”;be anxious for表示“对……忧虑的;焦虑的”。
4.Bstand/bear/endure作“忍受”时,后跟动名词或名词作宾语,being laughed at是动名词的被动形式,强调he与laugh at为被动关系。
5.D本题考查have sb.done表示“使某人被……”。adopt意为“收养”;raise饲养,喂养,提高;feed喂养;support支持,拥护,所以选D。
