Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects th
29、an others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand ,you may
30、 not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have
31、 learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs. Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If
32、you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important,
33、 you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools, perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up to a column of figures. It is better to fac
34、e any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work. 46 The statement that best sums
35、 up the first paragraph is _. （ A） the importance of doing well at school （ B） using school performance to help to choose a career （ C） the importance of being good at all subjects （ D） the indirect value of school work 47 The subject which is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting is _. （
36、 A） mathematics （ B） English （ C） technical drawing （ D） history 48 The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably _. （ A） a waste of time that could have been spent on study （ B） useful for his future work （ C） a good way to earn extra money （ D） a good way to find out his
37、 weak points 49 According to the passage, if a students school record is not good, he _. （ A） will fail in his future work （ B） will not be able to find a suitable job （ C） will regret not having worked harder at school （ D） may do well in his future work 50 The whole passage centers on _. （ A） choo
38、sing a career according to what one is good at （ B） acquiring knowledge by working hard at school （ C） finding ones strong and weak points （ D） developing ones abilities in school work 50 Culture shock is an occupational disease for people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad. Like most illnes
39、ses, it has its Own symptoms and cure. Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. These signs include the thousand and one ways in which we orient ourselves to the situation of daily life: when to shake hands and what to say
40、when we meet people, when and how to give tips, how to make purchases, when to accept and refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These signs, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, or customs, are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and as much a
41、 part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend for our space of mind and our efficiency on hundreds of these signs, most of which we do not carry on the level of conscious awareness. Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these famil
42、iar signs are removed. No matter how broadminded or full of good will you may be. a series of supports have been removed from you, followed by a feeling of frustration in much the same way. First they reject the environment which causes discomfort. “The ways of the host country are bad because they
43、make us feel bad. “When foreigners in a strange land get together to complain about the host country and its people, you can be sure that they are suffering from culture shock. Another phrase of culture shock is regression. The home environment suddenly assumes a tremendous importance. To the foreig
44、ner, everything becomes unreasonably glorified. All the difficulties and problems are forgotten and only the good things back home are remembered. It usually takes a trip home to bring one back to reality. 51 Culture shock is called an occupational disease mainly because _. （ A） like all other disea
45、ses it has its own signs and cure （ B） only those who engage in culture work suffer from it （ C） it is hard to get rid of （ D） only those living in a strange culture may experience it 52 When people go abroad, _. （ A） they soon adapt themselves to the new culture environment （ B） they try to avoid c
46、ulture shock （ C） they feel lost in strange surroundings （ D） they become seriously ill 53 People who are suffering from culture shock tend to _. （ A） take delight in gossiping （ B） daydream （ C） beautify their home culture （ D） complain about physical discomforts 54 According to the text, the word“
47、 regression“ in ( Line 1, Para. 4) means _. （ A） progress （ B） sense （ C） regret （ D） return 55 The main idea of this passage is that _. （ A） culture shock is an occupational disease （ B） culture shock is caused by the anxiety of living in a strange culture （ C） culture shock has peculiar signs （ D）
48、 it is very hard to cope with life in a new setting 55 A scientist who does research in economic psychology and who wants to predict the way in which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to
49、encourage or discourage money spending. If an economist were asked which of the three groups borrow most - people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or declining incomes - he would probably answer: those with declining incomes. Actually, in the years 1947 to 1950,the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us t
