They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative e
9、vents like “serious illness of a family member“ were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stressit only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now
10、know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahes. And millions of Americans who worked and lived under stress were worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled do
11、wn to a memorable message. Womens magazines ran headlines like “Stress Causes Illness!“ If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many like the death of a
12、loved one are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处方) for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job
13、 or move.The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes were all vulnerable (脆弱的) and passive in the face of adversity (逆境). But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor
14、than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and mental strain.（分数：10.00）(1).The result of Holmes-Rahes medical research tells us _.（分数：2.00）A.the way you handle major events may cause stressB.what should be done to avoid stressC.w
15、hat kinds of events would cause stressD.how to cope with sudden changes in life(2).The studies on stress in the early 1970s led to _.（分数：2.00）A.widespread concern over its harmful effectsB.great panic over the mental disorder it could causeC.an intensive research into stress-related illnessesD.popul
16、ar avoidance of stressful jobs(3).The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows _.（分数：2.00）A.how much pressure you are underB.how positive events can change your lifeC.how stressful a major event can beD.how you can deal with life-changing events(4).Why is “such simplistic advice“ (Par（分数：2.00）A.3) imposs
17、ible to follow?A. No one can stay on the same job for long.B. No prescription is effective in relieving stress.C. People have to get married someday.D. You could be missing opportunities as well.(5).According to the passage, people who have experienced ups and downs may become _.（分数：2.00）A.nervous w
18、hen faced with difficultiesB.physically and mentally strainedC.more capable of coping with adversityD.indifferent toward what happens to them四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)According to a survey, which was based on the responses of over 188,000 students, todays traditional-age college freshmen are “mor
19、e materialistic and less altruistic (利他主义的)“ than at any time in the 17 years of the poll.Not surprisingly in these hard times, the students major objective “is to be financially well off. Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life.“ It follows then that today the most po
20、pular course is not literature or history but accounting.Interest in teaching, social service and the “altruistic“ fields is at a low. On the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up.Thats no surprise, either. A friend of mine (a sales representative fr
21、om a chemical company) was making twice the salary of her college instructors during her first year on the job even before she completed her two-year associate degree.While its true that we all need a career, it is equally true that our civilization has accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge
22、in fields far removed from our own and that we are better for our understanding of these other contributions, be they scientific or artistic. It is equally true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More importantly, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connectio
23、ns between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs.Weekly we read of unions who go on strike for higher wages, only to drive their employer out of business. No company; no job. How shortsighted in the long run!But the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the
24、 accumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sense. I saw a cartoon recently which shows a group of businessmen looking puzzled as they sit around a conference table; one of them is taking on the intercom (对讲机): “Miss Baxter,“ he says, “could you please send in someone who can distinguish r
25、ight from wrong?“From the long-term point of view, thats what education really ought to be about.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the authors observation, college students _.（分数：2.00）A.have never been so materialistic as todayB.have never been so interested in the artsC.have never been so financially well
26、 off as todayD.have never attached so much importance to moral sense(2).The students criteria for selecting majors today have much to do with _.（分数：2.00）A.the influences of their instructorsB.the financial goals they seek in lifeC.their own interpretations of the coursesD.their understanding of the
27、contributions of others(3).By saying “While its true that . be they scientific or artistic. “ (Par（分数：2.00）A.5), the author means that _.A. business management should be included in educational programsB. human wisdom has accumulated at an extraordinarily high speedC. human intellectual development
28、has reached new heightsD. the importance of a broad education should not be overlooked(4).Studying the diverse wisdom of others can _.（分数：2.00）A.create artistic interestB.help people see things in the right perspectiveC.help improve connections among peopleD.regulate the behavior of modern people(5)
29、.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Businessmen absorbed in their career are narrow-minded.B.Managers often find it hard to tell right from wrong.C.People engaged in technical jobs lead a more rewarding life.D.Career seekers should not focus on immediate in
30、terests only.五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Professor Smith recently persuaded 35 people, 23 of them women, to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for a fortnight. When he came to analyze their embarrassing lapses (差错) in a scientific report, he was surprised to find that nearly all of t
31、hem fell into a few groupings. Nor did the lapses appear to be entirely random (随机的).One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her dog her earrings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. “The explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer,“ explai
32、ns the professor. “People programme themselves to do certain activities regularly. It was the womans custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her earrings. But somehow the action got reversed in the programme.“ About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported we
33、re these “programme assembly failures“.Altogether the volunteers logged 433 unintentional actions that they found themselves doingan average of twelve each. There appear to be peak periods in the day when we are at our zaniest (荒谬可笑的). These are two hours some time between eight a. m. and noon, betw
34、een four and six p.m. with a smaller peak between eight and ten p.m. “Among men the peak seems to be when a changeover in brain programmes occurs, as for instance between going to and from work.“ Women on average reported slightly more lapses12.5 compared with 10.9 for men probably because they were
35、 more reliable reporters.A startling finding of the research is that the absent-minded activity is a hazard of doing things in which we are skilled. Normally, you would expect that skill reduces the number of errors we make. But trying to avoid silly slips by concentrating more could make things a l
36、ot worse, even dangerous.（分数：10.00）(1).In his study Professor Smith asked the subjects _.（分数：2.00）A.to keep track of people who tended to forget thingsB.to report their embarrassing lapses at randomC.to analyze their awkward experiences scientificallyD.to keep a record of what they did unintentional
37、ly(2).Professor Smith discovered that _.（分数：2.00）A.certain patterns can be identified in the recorded incidentsB.many people are too embarrassed to admit their absent-mindednessC.men tend to be more absent-minded than womenD.absent-mindedness is an excusable human weakness(3).“Programme assembly fai
38、lures“ (Par（分数：2.00）A.2) refers to the phenomenon that people _.A. often fail to programme their routines beforehandB. tend to make mistakes when they are in a hurryC. unconsciously change the sequence of doing thingsD. are likely to mess things up if they are too tired(4).We learn from the third pa
39、ragraph that _.（分数：2.00）A.absent-mindedness tends to occur during certain hours of the dayB.women are very careful to perform actions during peak periodsC.women experience more peak periods of absent-mindednessD.mens absent-mindedness often results in funny situations(5).It can be concluded from the
40、 passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.people should avoid doing important things during peak periods of lapsesB.hazards can be avoided when people do things they are good atC.people should be careful when programming their actionsD.lapses cannot always be attributed to lack of concentration六、Passage Four(总题数：1
41、，分数：10.00)Henry Ford, the famous U. S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, “The business of America is business.“ By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.Few would argue with Fords statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how
42、 many people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finance and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in some of the unlike
43、liest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as “the entertainment industry“ or “show business“.The positive side of Henry Fords statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over th
44、e world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance (大量地) because the U. S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system creates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Ford
45、s statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U. S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the ri
46、ght to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. The laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high creates feelings of insecurity for many.（分数：10.00）(1).The United States is a typical country _（分数：2.00）A.which en
47、courages free trade at home and abroadB.where peoples chief concern is how to make moneyC.where all businesses are managed scientificallyD.which normally works according to the federal budget(2).The influence of business in the U. S. is evidenced by the fact that _（分数：2.00）A.most newspapers are run
48、by big businessesB.even public organizations concentrate on working for profitsC.Americans of all professions know how to do businessD.even arts and entertainment are regarded as business(3).According to the passage, immigrants choose to settle in the U.S. dreaming that _.（分数：2.00）A.they can start p
49、rofitable businesses thereB.they can be more competitive in businessC.they will make a fortune overnight thereD.they will find better chances of employment(4).Henry Fords statement can be taken negatively because _.（分数：2.00）A.working people are discouraged to fight for their rightsB.there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalistsC.t
