21、00)三、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：5.00)73.5 percent of major U.S. firms report that they record and review their employees“ communications and activities on the job. The larger the company, the more likely it is to engage in monitoring and surveillance activities, according to a survey. Broken down by busin
22、ess category, survey respondents in the financial services sector lead the packs when it comes to monitoring their employee“s e-mail and Internet connections. Weber says he sees companies go through a “life cycle“ with their Internet experience. When they first get connected, companies see a surge o
23、f activity and an immediate drop-off in productivity. After about two or three weeks, Internet use levels off, Weber notes. Weber observes that among his clients, he“s seeing a trend where employers are letting the lifecycle run its course. In other cases, Weber says his clients are capturing the in
24、formation, but not really doing anything about it. One thing the experts all agree on is that if you use the Internet and provide access to your employees, you should have a policy in place that defines what you deem to be permissible use by employees. Weber believes that no company wants to be in t
25、he rote of Big Brother, but still must protect one of its most valuable assets. Nor are employers looking to micro-manage their employees. Many companies are viewing use of the Internet as similar to the phone, and operating with the philosophy that incidental personal use is okay. “But some clients
26、 don“t see a need to restrict access,“ he explains. For certain the issues that surround monitoring employee Internet use aren“t going to quiet down anything soon, the experts say. “Maybe the simplest solution is to just allow a certain percentage to go to employee use.“（分数：5.00）(1).In monitoring th
27、e Internet use of the employees, which of the following take the lead?（分数：1.00）A.Computer companiesB.Telecommunication companiesC.Financial firmsD.Large companies(2).Which of the following may rightly describe the lifecycle of Internet use?（分数：1.00）A.A sudden rise in the first 2-3 weeks followed by
28、a sudden drop-offB.A gradual increase to the first 2-3 weeks followed by a gradual decreaseC.A gradual increase to the first 2-3 weeks followed by leveling offD.A sudden rise in the first 2-3 weeks followed by leveling off(3).What can we say about most companies“ attitude towards employee Internet u
29、se?（分数：1.00）A.SupportiveB.DisapprovingC.TolerantD.Cautious(4).We know from this passage that experts think _.（分数：1.00）A.the easiest solution is to confine Internet use to certain employeesB.policies should be laid down defining the limit of internet use for employeesC.restrictions on employee Intern
30、et use may help increase productivityD.limiting employee Internet use may do harm to the image of companies(5).Which of the following may serve as the best title?（分数：1.00）A.Internet Is Causing Trouble for EmployersB.Managing Employee Use of the InternetC.The Controversy over Internet UseD.The Negati
31、ve Side of Internet四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：5.00)The French education system is very different from the English one in its aims, its organization and its results. The French child too, the raw material of this education, is unlike the English child and differences in the raw material may well account
32、for differences in the processes employed. The French child, boy or girl, gives one the impression of being intellectually more precocious than the product of the chillier English climate. This is encouraged by his upbringing among adults, not in a nursery. English parents readily adapt their conver
33、sation to the child“s point of view and interest themselves more in his games and childish preoccupation. The English are, as regards national character, younger than the French, or, to put it another way, there is in England no deep division between the life of the child and that of the grown man.
34、The art of talking to children in the kind of language they understand is so much an English art that most of the French children“s favorite books are translations from the English. French parents on the other hand, do their best to develop the child“s intelligence as rapidly as possible. They have
35、little patience with childish ideas even if they do not go so far as to look upon childhood as an unfortunate but necessary prelude to adult life. Not that they need to force the child, for he usually lends himself willingly to the process, and enjoys the effect of his unexpectedly clever remarks an
36、d unusual sayings and of his bright judgment of men and things. It is not without significance that the French mother instead of appealing to the child“s heart by asking him to be good appeals to his reason by asking him to be wise. Reasonableness is looked for early in France, and the age of reason
37、 is fixed at seven years.（分数：5.00）(1).In comparing French and English education the author indicates that _.（分数：1.00）A.a great deal can be learnt by both countriesB.differences should not be looked for only in the methodsC.the French child needs far more trainingD.the main differences are in the chi
38、ldren(2).The passage suggests that the French child _.（分数：1.00）A.is as he is because of the climateB.only associates with adultsC.is not treated as a childD.is forced to behave like an adult(3).The word “prelude“ in the phrase “.but necessary prelude to adult life“ (in the 2nd sentence of Paragraph
39、3 probably means _.（分数：1.00）A.introductory stageB.consequent eventC.inevitable resultD.acceptable reason(4).In comparison with French children, English children _.（分数：1.00）A.are less intelligentB.can stand chillier climateC.receive more care from their parentsD.have shorter childhood(5).French mothe
40、rs _.（分数：1.00）A.know how to appeal to what is best in their childrenB.are the most significant influence in their children“s livesC.enjoy their children“s unexpectedly clever remarksD.lack patience in everything五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Marriage therapists teach a skill called active listening.
41、Each partner takes a turn listening, then paraphrases what he“s heard and validates it. There is, however, a problem. It rarely works. For 80 percent of couples, active listening is too hard. It feels wooden, like emotional gymnastics. Nor does “fighting well predict happy marriages“. Even happy cou
42、ples have screaming matches. Every time you raise a hot-button issue, such as the in-laws or money, does your husband suddenly clam up? More than 80 percent of the time, it“s the wife who brings up sticky material issues, while the husband tries to avoid discussing them. This isn“t a symptom of a tr
43、oubled marriageit“s true in most happy marriages. You“ll often hear that staying in a bad marriage is worse for everybody concernedespecially the childrenthan getting divorced. That may be true if your home is so riddled with hostility that it“s like a war zone. But University of Chicago sociologist
44、 Linder J. Waite says she has found that 75 percent of couples who rated their marriages as miserable but stayed of married were happy five years later. We usually think the strongest marriages are those that survive major traumas, such as bankruptcy or an extramarital affair. But frequently, dealin
45、g with the little things, those daily annoyances, eat away at a marriage. “Every couple experiences disappointment as initial romance and passion fade and they discover all their differences,“ says Wolin. “He doesn“t do enough housework. She is too emotional. He watches too much TV. She“s too lenien
46、t with the kids. People think these differences as problem, but they“re actually opportunities to build marital muscles. “（分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following is NOT true about active listening?（分数：1.00）A.Active listening is necessary if you want to “fight well“B.A majority of couples doesn“t practic
47、e active listeningC.Active listening doesn“t ensure happy marriagesD.Active listening has proven to be a little impractical(2).The phrase “dam up“ in Line 5 means _.（分数：1.00）A.shut upB.get upC.back upD.tighten up(3).We know from Paragraph 1 that the author thinks that a happy marriage _.（分数：1.00）A.i
48、s always full of romance and passionB.requires the tolerance of the husbandC.may not be free of quarrels and fightsD.excludes the discussion of sticky martia lissues(4).What is implied in the passage about divorce in the passage?（分数：1.00）A.A bad marriage should end up in divorce to avoid further har
49、mB.Divorce is not the best solution to a bad marriageC.Most couples get divorced for the sake of their childrenD.Divorce is much better than suffering in a bad marriage(5).What“s the main idea of the last paragraph?（分数：1.00）A.Daily annoyances can do harm to marriagesB.Marriage is not for romance and passionC.Surviving major misfortunes help strengthen
