　　第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

　　（A）

　　A Hong Kong airline is making its cabin crew take kung fu lessons to help them deal with passengers who are drunk or rude to them.

　　The Hong Kong airline said, “All staff have been invited to receive training in wing chun（咏春拳）—a form of popular kung fu used in close-range fights—but it is only a must for the cabin crew. Other members don’t have to learn it if not interested. ”

　　The airline had around three incidents involving rude passengers every week, said General Manager Eva Chan.

　　Two weeks ago a crew member had to put her martial art(武术) training into practice on a flight from Beijing to Hong Kong.

　　“One of the passengers was sick but he was drunk. The crew member took care of him and she realized her fitness was helping her, especially because the guy was quite heavy, ” Chan told the newspaper. “Normally, a female cabin crew can’t handle a fat guy, especially if he is drunk, but because of the training, she can handle him quite easily. ”

　　New worker Lumpy Tang, 22, said she never imagined kung fu would be part of her job. “We were surprised in the beginning, but after a few lessons we really liked wing chun, ” Tang said. “You cannot predict what will happen on the plane, so wing chun is good because it’s so fast. I feel safer because I can defend myself and I’m really happy to learn it. ”

　　Wing chun instructor Katherine Cheung said, “The martial art was ideal for the airline crew. Wing chun can be used in small spaces so it’s suitable for an airplane. ”

　　56. The passage most probably belongs to_____.

　　A. a wanted ad

　　B. an official document

　　C. a research report

　　D. a news story

　　57. Why did the airline ask its cabin crew to learn wing chun?

　　①To stay healthy

　　②To protect themselves

　　③To help drunk passengers

　　④To lose weight

　　A. ①④

　　B. ①③

　　C. ②③

　　D. ②④

　　58. The airline chose wing chun for its cabin crew because ____.

　　A. this kung fu is more suitable for the female to learn

　　B. this kung fu is the world’s fastest and most popular martial art

　　C. this kung fu doesn’t take learners much time to learn and master

　　D. this kung fu brings obvious advantages during a flight in narrow spaces

　　59. According to the passage, at present, Lumpy Tang’s attitude to the wing chun training is_____.

　　A. supportive

　　B. opposed

　　C. confused

　　D. critical

　　（B）

　　How Much to Tip

　　You’re out to dinner. The food is delicious and the service is fine. You decide to leave a big fat tip. Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think.

　　Tipping, psychologists have found, is not just about service. Instead, studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors from the waiters’ choice of words, to how they carry themselves while taking orders, to the bill’s total. Even how much waiters remind customers of themselves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night.

　　“Studies before have shown that mimicry (模仿) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker, ” wrote Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor. “These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimics them. ”

　　So Rick van Baaren divided 59 waiters into two groups. He requested that half serve with a phrase such as, “Coming up! ” and those in the other half were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers. Rick van Baaren then compared their take-home. The results were clear—it pays to mimic your customers. The copycat(模仿者) waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.

　　Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis, found the generosity of a tipper may be limited by his bill. After research on the 1, 000 tips left for waiters, cab drivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers’ bills went up. In fact, tip percentages appear to plateau (达到稳定水平) when bills topped $100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for $100.

　　“That’s also a point of tipping, ”Mr. Green says. “You have to give a little extra to the cab driver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you. If they weren’t there, you’d never get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there. ”

　　60. Apart from service, how many other factors affecting the customers’ tipping are mentioned in the passage?

　　A. 1.

　　B. 2.

　　C. 3.

　　D. 4.

　　61. These studies show that ____.

　　A. tipping can be affected by physical reactions to many different waiters’ factors

　　B. people who are being mimicked usually tip less to the person who mimics them

　　C. the mimic waiters can get almost twice as much money as the other group

　　D. mimicry makes the mimicker feel bad

　　62. According to the passage, which of the following will be likely to show the right change of the tip percentages?

　　63. We know from the passage that the writer seems to_____ .

　　A. object to Mr. Green’s idea about tipping

　　B. think part of Mr. Green’s explanation is reasonable

　　C. give his generous tip to waiters very often

　　D. support the opinions of Mr. Green and Rick van Baaren about tipping

　　(C)

　　Employees are being flooded with too much information that has little to do with their work, according to a new survey.

　　On average, white-collar workers spend 51 percent of their work time receiving and processing information. Only one third of it was relevant to their work, the survey found. Information overload for white-collar workers has become a global issue. The huge amount of information has already affected their efficiency in management as well as their performance at work.

　　Buried with e-mails

　　Every morning, a secretary at the human resources department of an auto parts company opens her e-mail box, only to find it crammed with at least 50 unread mails. For her, even scanning through these e-mails every day takes at least half an hour. Some of her colleagues are not so lucky—they have to read at least 100.

　　Bothered with calls

　　Telephone calls are also causing a problem. More than 40 percent white-collar workers choose mobile phones as the preferred way to communicate important and urgent business matters.

　　Talking saves time and energy over the clicking, reading and replying to e-mails, but phone calls are also more distracting(分心的). While answering a call, a clerk is likely to put away a much more important task at hand and start the business being talked about on the phone.

　　Solution? Not yet.

　　Many companies start with providing staff with better computers, better Internet access and more advanced gadgets(装置). For example, staff members above a certain level in one company will be provided with a blackberry phone for easier access to their e-mails. The company has also organized many lectures on efficient ways of e-mail management. Yet most white-collar workers think their companies can do more.

　　68．What does the new survey find about white-collar workers?

　　A．They spend 51% of their work time on meetings.

　　B．Only half of the information they receive is useful. C．Over 60% of them prefer to use the telephone.

　　D．Some of them have to read at least 100 e-mails every day.

　　69．Telephone calls cause a problem because .

　　A．they take up the time to receive and send e-mails

　　B．they are often not answered

　　C．they are mostly not about business

　　D．they may lead to the changing of work schedule

　　70．How do some companies try to solve the problem of information overload?

　　A．They start to give staff a pay rise.

　　B．They plan to employ more people.

　　C．They provide employees with more advanced equipment.

　　D．They organize lectures on how to reduce stress.

　　71．What is the major issue discussed in this text?

　　A．Poor management leads to inefficiency at work.

　　B．Junk mail is causing big trouble.

　　C．White-collar workers suffer from information overload.

　　D．Better computers are in need in workplaces.

　　Long before they became doctors, lawyers, CEOs or real estate developers, they played in garage bands and maybe even dreamed of becoming rock stars. That’s why they signed up for Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp.

　　For nearly a week, the mostly middle-aged “campers” had practiced in the West 54th Street studios. They came from as far away as London and Tokyo and as close as Long Island and downtown New York to prepare for their moment of onstage glory.

　　“I feel like I’m 18 again, ” said Jerry Goldberg, a 60-year-old investment banker and guitar player, whose family was in the audience. ” I admit that I felt a little uncertain when I first got here, but this has turned out to be a wonderful experience, one of the greatest of my life. ”

　　Everybody has two businesses, their own business and show business. This can be a life-changing experience for them. Mr. Daltrey, who has appeared at several fantasy camps, was asked why he keeps coming back.

　　“I’ve had people tell me that I shouldn’t be doing this, that it’s bad for my image, ” he acknowledged. “But that’s rubbish. Look, it’s all so positive, and everybody is having so much fun. So what’s bad about that? ”

　　Jeff Munger, a drummer and rancher(农场主) said, “I’m at a point in my life where I’m going to spend my money on things I’m passionate about, and I’m absolutely crazy about music. ”

　　Most of the campers are successful executives or professionals: a founder of the Oracle Computer Company, a businessman whose father invented the Big Mac, a plastic surgeon, presidents of health care and seafood companies.

　　72．This text is mainly about.

　　A．a music course for the elderly people

　　B．a pop club for professional musicians

　　C．a rock music camp for music loversD．a studio for wealthy businessmen

　　73．What do the middle-aged campers have in common?

　　A．They are all interested in charity.

　　B．They are all passionate about music.

　　C．They are all retired business people.

　　D．They were all rock stars when they were young.

　　74．According to the text, Mr. Daltrey .

　　A．once played in a garage band

　　B．has come with his family

　　C．has joined in the camp a couple of times

　　D．is very careful about his image

　　75．We can infer from the text that the campers .

　　A．enjoy their regular jobs

　　第一节（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

　　［2012黄山模拟］

　　阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

　　注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

　　Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.

　　The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation—for example, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, it usually does not last for more than a year.

　　The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the first type, chronic (the opposite of “temporary”) usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.

　　Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, for example, friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. Our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.

　　Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitual lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness as heart disease, while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.

　　Three types of loneliness ●The most common type is （76）___ which（77）____ no special attention.

　　●The second type is situational, which usually lasts for（78）____ than a year.

　　●The third kind is chronic, which causes people to have difficulty （79）____ with others.

　　Social （80）____ matter. ●We depend on a （81）_____ of people.

　　*Families support us emotionally.

　　*Parents and teachers （82）____ us.

　　*Friends share interests and activities.

　　●We doubt if we’re （83）_____ enough.

　　（84）____ for helping lonely people. ●They are unhappy and unable to socialize.

　　●Chronic loneliness is （85）_____ with serious illness.

　　W: He smiled at me, then hurried away．It was only a few seconds later that I realized my handbag was gone．He must have taken it when he knocked into me. All my keys, money and credit cards are in that bag．Please help me! M: Please stay calm．We’ll be with you as soon as possible．

　　(Text 8)W: What are you thinking about now, Martin?

　　M: When I got back home last night, I found a letter from the students at the school I used to go to. ⑫They want me to go back and talk to them.

　　M: I don’t know. I used to hate school, so I don’t want to go back very much.

　　W: But it’s different now.

　　M: Yes, I know. But it’s a difficult decision. You see, ⑭when I was at school, I used to be a bad boy and none of the teachers liked me very much.

　　M: We started off by flying to Perth on the west coast and driving across the desert to the Pinnacles．

　　W: What are the Pinnacles?

　　M: Oh, it’s a group of limestone pillars sticking up out of the sand．

　　W: That sounds interesting．

　　M: It sure was．It was definitely the most unusual thing I saw on the trip．

　　W: Yeah? Where did you go then?

　　M: We took a plane and flew to North Queensland and went out on a boat to the Great Barrier Reef．

　　W: Wow! Did you go scuba-diving?

　　M: Yeah, it was really exciting．I even saw a shark．

　　W: You’re kidding! That must have been scary．And then, what did you do?

　　M: Well, after a few days there we took another plane, this time down to Sydney, and I spent a few days there, shopping in the day, and going out at night．

　　W: How was that?

　　M: Oh, it was so much fun．I loved Sydney. There was so much to do．

　　W: It sounds like you had a great holiday．

　　M: I really did．

　　Well, a mixed picture over the next few days. ⑱⑳Today in Britain, very wet and windy. You can see from the satellite picture that the highest temperatures, as they so often are, are in the southern parts of Europe, where it’s also quite dry. It’s going to be quite cold over northwestern parts of Europe; it will be rainy but in the south there will be the best of the sunshine. And pretty good but cool in the eastern parts of Europe, too.

　　⑳Now let’s look at tomorrow’s weather. It will be very much the same in the south except that the rain is starting to push up into the northern parts. ⑲It will stay fine in eastern Europe.

　　书面表达【参考范文】

　　Dear Zhang Hua，

　　I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t do well in your last exam. You are not the only one who seems to try his best but ends up with a failure in exams. Quite a number of students feel the same way as you and they tend to lose their confidence and don’t want to study hard any longer. I’m sure you know that it’s unwise to do so because you might be left far behind.

　　I was once in the same situation as yours. Failure is the mother of success. In face of failure, what we need to do is to calm down and reflect our learning methods and make some possible changes or to ask the teachers for advice. Anyway, Rome is not built in a day. Only by sticking to studying persistently can we make progress step by step till success. I truly hope I can be of some help to you.

　　Yours ever,

　　Li Ming
