Reunions of these identical twins revealed remarkable “coincidences〞 in career choices, marital history, sense of humor, and so on. Certainly heredity cannot account for an individual’s total personality. A child’s early environment may play an important role in his or her temperament as well. What we do learn from genetic studies, though, should help us to deal with any physical and psychological difficulties that may be anticipated. 1. The main idea of the passage is that _____. A) Identical twins make interesting adopted children. B) Heredity plays an important part in our development. C) Adoptive parents should know the histories of their children. D) Adopted children usually do not get along with their adoptive parents. 2. In the past, social workers felt that adopted children should _____. A) know their birth parents. B) make a fresh start.

Identical twins raised apart share similar _____. A) perceptions B) environments C) characters D) adoptive parents Passage Two Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. In general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic(官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog(齿轮) in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, Nell-ventilated factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human – relations〞 experts; yet all this oiling does not alter the fact that man has become powerless, that he is bored with it. In fact, the blue and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management. The worker and employee are anxious, not only because they might find themselves out of a job; they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction of interesting life. They live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings. Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence. From the moment on they are tested again and again – by the psychologists, for whom testing . .实用文档.
is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow – competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting that we should return to the preindustrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterprise “capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system form a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities – those of all love and of reason – are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve only as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.
6. By “a well-oiled cog in the machinery〞 the author intends to deliver the idea that man is _____. A) a necessary part of the society though each individual’s function is negligible B) working in complete harmony with the rest of the society C) an unimportant part in comparison with the rest of the society
D) a humble component of the society, especially when working smoothly 7. The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that _____. A) they are likely to lose their hobs
B) they have no genuine satisfaction or interest in life
C) they are faced with the fundamental realities of human existence D) they are deprived of their individuality and independence
8. From the passage we can conclude that real happiness of life belongs to those _____. A) who are at the bottom of the society B) who are higher up in their social status
C) who prove better than their fellow – competitors D) who could dip far away from this competitive world
9. To solve the present social problems the author puts forward a suggestion that we should _____. A) resort to the production mode of our ancestors B) offer higher wages to the workers and employees C) enable man to fully develop his potentialities D) take the fundamental realities for granted
10. The author’s attitude towards industrialism might best be summarized as one of _____. A) approval B) dissatisfaction C) suspicion D) susceptibility
Passage Three
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.
The interview is an important event in the job-hunting process, because the 20 or 30 minutes you spend with the interviewer may determine whether or not you get the particular job you want. Therefore, it is important to remember that our objective during the interview may differ from the objective of the potential employer. You want to make yourself stand out as a whole person who has personal strengths, is well qualified, and should be considered the right person for the job. It is encouraging to know that the interviewer’s task is not to embarrass you or to trip you up, but to hire the right person for the job. . ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉密┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉封┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉线┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ .实用文档. Remember, job hunting is very competitive. Anything you can do to enhance your interview techniques will be to your advantage. The following suggestions may help you land the most important job. Your goal in this interview is to make sure your good points get across. The interviewer won’t know them unless you point them out, so try to do this in a factual and sincere manner. Do not make slighting (轻蔑的) references to former employers or professors. If you have been fired from a job and the interviewer asks about it, be frank in your answer. Show the interviewer that you are interested in the company by asking relevant questions. Ask about responsibilities, working conditions, promotion opportunities and fringe benefits (附加福利) of the job you are interviewing for. If at some point you decide the interview is not going well, do not let your discouragement show. You have nothing to lose by continuing a show of confidence, and you may have much to gain. It may be real, or it may be a test to see how you react to adverse conditions. Some interviewers may bring up salary early in the interview. At this time, you may indicate that you are more interested in a job where you can prove yourself than a specific salary. This politely passes the question back to the interviewer. If the interviewer continues to press, give him a range or suggest the going rate for a particular job. If possible, you should negotiate for salary after you have been offered a job and when you are ready to complete the paperwork. 11. To get the job you want, during the interview you should______________. A) avoid the interviewer’s questions that are designed to trip you up B) remember that you are the best qualified candidate C) make yourself stand out as the right person for the job D) keep in mind that it determines whether or not you get the particular job you want 12. If you did not get along with your former employer, you_________. A) should tell the employer frankly B) should not speak ill of him C) should refer to him in a casual manner D) should never mention it 13. When you find the interview is not going well you should _________. A) keep up your confidence B) bring it to an end as soon as possible C) tell your interviewer how you react to adverse conditions D) tell yourself you have much to gain and nothing to lose 14. The best time to discuss your salary is _______. A) when you have been offered the job B) at the end of the interview C) after you have completed the paperwork D) when the interview brings this matter up 15.

There is one difference between the sexes on which virtually every expert and study agree men are more aggressive than women. It shows up in 2-year-olds. It continues through school days and persists into adulthood. It is even constant across cultures. And there is little doubt that it is rooted in biology in the male sex hormone testosterone. If there’s a feminine trait that’s the counterpart of male aggressiveness, it’s what social scientists awkwardly refer to as “nurturance〞. Feminists have argued that the nurturing nature of women is not biological in origin, but rather has been drummed into women by a society that wanted to keep them in the home. But the signs that it is at least partly inborn are too numerous to ignore. Just as tiny infant girls respond more readily to human faces, female toddlers learn much faster than males how to pick up nonverbal cues from others. And grown women are far more adept than men at interpreting facial expressions. A recent study by University of Pennsylvania brain researcher Ruben Gur showed that they easily read emotions such as anger, sadness and fear. The only such emotion men could pick up was disgust. What difference do such differences make in the real world? Among other things, women appear to be somewhat less competitive ---or at least competitive in different ways---than men. At the Harvard Law School, for instance, female students enter with credentials just as outstanding as those of their male peers. But they don’t qualify for the prestigious Law Review in proportionate numbers, a fact some school officials attribute to women’s discomfort in the incredibly competitive atmosphere. Students of management styles have found fewer differences than they expected between men and women who reach leadership positions, perhaps because many successful women deliberately imitate masculine ways. But an analysis by Purdue social psychologist Alice Eagly of 166 studies of leadership style did find one consistent difference. Men tend to be more “autocratic〞---making decisions on their own---while women tend to consult colleagues and subordinates more often. Studies of behavior in small groups turn up even more differences. Men will typically dominate the discussion, says University of Toronto psychologist Kenneth Dion, spending more time talking and less time listening. 16. The passage mainly discusses _________. A) how sex differences are demonstrated in social relations B) how hormone determines sex differences C) why there are differences between males and females D) why men and women have different social roles 17. Which of the following is true of women’s nurturing nature according to the passage? A) It is not inborn in any sense. B) It is inspired by women’s families. C) It is caused by social prejudice. D) It is partly biological in origin. 18. The Harvard Law School example in paragraph 3 suggests that _________. A) women are not as competitive as men B) law is not the fight profession for women . .实用文档. C) women are as excellent as men when they are young D) academic credentials are disproportionate to performance 19. Which of the following statement is true according to paragraph 4? A) Men leaders should consult colleagues and subordinates more often. B) Female leaders’ success is due to their imitating male leaders. C) Men and women are different in their leadership style. D) Decisiveness is an important quality for a successful politician. 20. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer_______. A) denies the difference sexes make in real life B) is prejudiced against men C) discourages women to be competitive D) treats sex difference objectively PART II CLOZE 〔每题1分，共15分〕 A schoolboy’s life is in preparation for the real battle of life.
