18、sponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 20 By far the most common difficultly in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routin
19、e of study. Many students muddle along, doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment. Few students work to a set timetable. They say that if they did construct a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it, or wo
20、uld have to alter it constantly, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be. There are many who shy away from the self-regimentation of a weekly timetable, and dislike being tied down to a definite program of work. Many able students claim that they work in c
21、ycles. When they become interested in a topic they work on it intensively for three or four days at a time. On other days they avoid work completely. It has to be confessed that we do not fully understand the complexities of the motivation to work. Most people over 25 years of age have been used to
22、a work routine, and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for die more important aspects of their work. The “ tough-minded“ school of workers is usually very contemptuous of the idea that good work can only be done spontaneously, under the influence of inspiration. Those
23、who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom“. Freedom from discipline leads to un-happiness rather than to “self-expression“ or “personality development“. Our society insists on regular habits, tim
24、ekeeping and punctuality, and whether we like it or not, if we mean to make our way in society we have to comply with its demands. 21 The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is that of_. （ A） the failure to keep to a routine of methodical and intensive work （ B） changing from one su
25、bject to another （ C） unwillingness to follow a systematic plan （ D） applying oneself to a subject only when one feels inclined 22 According to the selection, there are many students who_. （ A） do not like being commanded to study according to a weekly timetable （ B） are too timid to accustom themse
26、lves to a weekly timetable （ C） refuse to exert themselves the whole week as if under military discipline （ D） shrink from the self-discipline required for working to a weekly plan 23 Those workers with strict views on work_. （ A） are very critical of the belief that good work can be a natural produ
27、ct of instinct （ B） reject the idea that good work is second nature to man （ C） do not regard as serious the opinion that good work can be done at any time regardless of inspiration （ D） despise the idea that work can only be done when free from external influence and prompted by internal stimulus 2
28、4 A suitable title for the passage might be_. （ A） Attitudes to Study （ B） Study Plans （ C） The Difficulties of Studying （ D） Study and Self-discipline 24 In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the
29、 answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the workerslife more enjoyable, it does not actually make them work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then variety is not a
30、n important factor. Other experts feel that giving the workers freedom to do their jobs in their own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a
31、fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it. Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories, bosses are now experimenting with having many small production lin
32、es rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor, but it is also one we can do something about. To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? T
33、he workers themselves certainly think this important. But perhaps they want more only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting
34、, they will neither want more, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them. 25 Which of these possible factors leading to greater productivity is NOT true? （ A） To make jobs more varied. （ B） To give the workers freedom to do their jobs in their own way. （ C） Degree of worker contribution
35、. （ D） Demands of longer working hours. 26 Why do workers want more money? （ A） Because their jobs are too boring. （ B） Because they want to enjoy more spare time. （ C） Because they want to make their jobs more interesting. （ D） Because they want to demand shorter working hours. 27 The last sentence
36、 in this passage means that if we succeed in making workers jobs more interesting _. （ A） they will want more money （ B） they will demand shorter working hours （ C） more money and shorter working hours are important factors （ D） more money and shorter working hours will not be so important to them 2
37、8 In this passage, the author tells us_. （ A） how to make the workers more productive （ B） impossible factors leading to greater efficiency （ C） to what extent more money leads to greater productivity （ D） how to make workersjobs more interesting 29 In order to produce more, many measures are availa
38、ble EXCEPT_. （ A） to make jobs more varied （ B） to give workers more freedom when they are producing （ C） to make their jobs more interesting （ D） to give more money for less working hours 30 Why is giving the workers freedom to do their jobs in their own way not realistic, though it is important? （
39、 A） Because the workers do not want this kind of freedom. （ B） Because the bosses do not want to give the workers freedom. （ C） Both A and D （ D） Because this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. 30 Oceanograph
40、y has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the study of the sea“. Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further hi
41、s work. For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that question “What is at the bottom
42、 of the oceans?“ had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured. It was to Maury of the U. S. Navy th
43、at the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular i
44、nterest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea. The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary s
45、cientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea. Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists fo
46、r years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895. 31 The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on_. （ A） an academic aspect （ B） a military aspect （ C） a business aspect （ D） an international aspect 32 The aim of the
47、voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was_. （ A） to make some sounding experiments in the oceans （ B） to collect samples of sea plants and animals （ C） to estimate the length of cable that was needed （ D） to measure the depths of the two oceans 33 “Defied“ in the 4th paragraph probably mean
48、s “_“. （ A） doubted （ B） gave proof to （ C） contradicted （ D） agreed to 34 This passage is mainly about_. （ A） the beginnings of oceanography （ B） the laying of the first undersea cable （ C） the investigation of ocean depths （ D） the early intercontinental communications 35 What does the sentence “W
49、ithin a few years oceanography was under way“ mean? （ A） Several years later the study of oceanography disappeared. （ B） More and more studies and expeditions on oceanography began to appear. （ C） The expedition led by Thomson began in 1872. （ D） The five-volume report was published in 1895. 35 Have you ever felt your life go into slow motion as you realize something bad is happening? Now scientists have measured exactly how much
