　　Ⅱ.阅读理解(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)

　　A

　　In the early 1950s，researchers found that people scored lower on intelligence tests if they spoke more than one language.Research in the sixties found the opposite.Bilingual people scored higher than monolinguals，people who speak only one language.So which is it?

　　Researchers presented their newest studies last month at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.The latest evidence shows that being bilingual does not necessarily make people smarter.But researcher Ellen Bialystok says it probably does make you better at certain skills.

　　Ellen Bialystok said，“Imagine driving down the highway.There're many things that could capture(捕获)your attention and you really need to be able to monitor(监视)all of them.Why would bilingualism make you any better at that？”

　　And the answer，she says，is that bilingual people are often better at controlling their attention—a function called the executive control system.

　　Ms.Bialystok is a psychology professor at York University in Toronto，Canada.She says the best method to measure the executive control system is called the Stroop Test.A person is shown words in different colors.The person has to ignore the word but say the color.The problem is that the words are all names of colors.

　　Ellen Bialystok said，“So you would have the word blue written in red，but you have to say red.But blue is so salient(显著的)，it's just lighting up all these circuits in your brain，and you really want to say blue.So you need a mechanism(机制)to override that so that you can say red.That's the executive control system.”

　　Her work shows that bilingual people continually practice this function.They have to，because both languages are active in their brain at the same time.They need to suppress one to be able to speak in the other.

　　This mental exercise might help in other ways，too.Researchers say bilingual children are better able to separate a word from its meaning，and more likely to have friends from different cultures.Bilingual adults are often four to five years later than others in developing dementia or Alzheimer's disease.

　　11．What's the main idea of the text?

　　A．Bilingual people are smarter.

　　B．Monolingual people are smarter.

　　C．Bilingual people are better at some skills.

　　D．Bilingual people have longer lives.

　　12．The underlined word “override” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.

　　A．pay attention to

　　B．take no notice of

　　C．take an interest in

　　D．take care of

　　13．In the Stroop Test，supposing you have the word yellow written in white，you will have to say ________.

　　A．white

　　B．yellow

　　C．blue

　　D．red

　　14．Which group of people can most likely pass the Stroop Test?

　　A．People who can speak only Chinese.

　　B．People who can speak only Japanese.

　　C．People who can speak more than one language.

　　D．People who can speak only English.

　　15．Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the text？________

　　A．A bilingual child is better at separating a word from its meaning.

　　B．A bilingual child can more easily make friends with a foreign child.

　　C．Bilingual people are more able to monitor several things at the same time.

　　D．It's not possible for bilingual people to develop Alzheimer's disease.

　　B

　　Nearly 28% of college students plan to seek employment using Linkedln，up from 5% last year，according to a survey out today from employee recognition provider I Love Rewards and career services network Experience.Slightly more than 7% plan to use Facebook，up from 5%.

　　No longer do students just wait for visiting campus recruiters to learn about job possibilities.Instead they're using digital tools to find their dream jobs，says I Love Rewards CEO Razor Suleman.Companies need to know their online image，then update anything that is outdated，inaccurate or not interactive.

　　“The recruited have now become the recruiters，” Suleman says，“They are now going out and finding the companies they want to apply for.”

　　Students learn about employers by viewing their websites，reading Facebook and Twitter updates and perusing(精读)Linkedln profiles.Another information source：comments by past and current employees on job­oriented websites.

　　A strong digital presence is one way for employers to stand out as the search for the best and brightest gets competitive.

　　Slightly more than four in 10 employers say they will use “different” recruiting tactics(策略)to reach Generation

　　Y，according to a survey by job­search site Monster.com to be released today.Of those respondents，almost 60% say social­networking sites are popular tools to reach Gen Y candidates.

　　“Our reason for using social media is because that's where we think the candidates are，”he says.

　　The company posts updates and videos on

　　topics such as job opportunities and the benefits of being an employee.It also created a mobile­friendly site for those who want to apply via smartphone.

　　“Younger people want to attach to you in a different way than the past，”Lavery says.“They want to interact with you.They want to learn about you.”

　　The updated recruitment techniques take effort，but they work，he says.

　　In 2010，UPS used those tactics to recruit 955 employees.The year before，it hired 29 employees through those means.

　　“It's a time investment that you have to be willing to do，”he says.“You can't just have a page up there and not have content.In social media，you have to have a give and a take，or people won't be a part of your community.”

　　16．Which of the following might be the best title of the text?

　　A．More college graduates use social media to find jobs

　　B．How do American graduates search for jobs?

　　C．It's hard for American graduates to find jobs

　　D．How do American companies employ graduates?

　　17．In order to find their dream jobs，more American graduates like to use________.

　　A．newspapers

　　B．magazines

　　C．the Internet

　　D．radios

　　18．Why do many companies use socialnetworking sites to recruit graduates?

　　A．Because they have no other way to get in touch with graduates.

　　B．Because graduates tend to learn about employers through social media.

　　C．Because companies want to post advertisements for their products.

　　D．Because companies like to post videos and updates about their products.

　　19．The underlined word “recruit” in Paragraph 11 probably means________.

　　A．fire

　　B．attract

　　C．contact

　　D．employ

　　20．We can conclude that ________ from what Lavery says.

　　A．it is very easy to for a company to hire graduates through social media

　　B．a company has to make great efforts to find the best graduates

　　C．a company doesn't have to update the information about it

　　D．graduates are afraid to communicate with the boss of the company

　　【参考范文】

　　Dear_Peter，

　　With_regard_to_your_enquiry,_I_am_here_to_tell_you_more_details_about_the_low_carbon_programmes_that_are_right_now_taking_place_in_my_school. We would like to start by suggesting not to take private vehicles for daily transportation. Instead, we recommend you to walk, ride or take a public bus to school. Secondly, we reckon that electronic greetings cards should gain more popularity among caring people. Meanwhile, paper ought to be used to full extent, namely we must write on both sides.

　　Last but not least, with energy crisis threatening our lives, water and electricity，for example, two of our major necessities amongst other things, have to be consumed wisely and economically. Under the theme of Act On the Earth, we hope that we can lead a healthy and sustainable low carbon life.

　　Best wishes!
