二、Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension(总题数：0，分数：0.00) 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 business 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 of 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 information, 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 the 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 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）

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 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 conversation 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. 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 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 and 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 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 countries
B.differences should not be looked for only in the methods √ C.the French child needs far more training D.the main differences are in the children
解析：[解析] 细节推断题。根据题干关键词comparing French and English education定位到原文首段。首段提到英法在教育方面有着比较大的差别，同时，作为教育的“原材料”，两个国家的孩子们也存在着区别。因此可推断，教育上的差异，不仅仅是教育方法等的不同所造成的，至少还有“原材料”存在差异的原因。故答案为B。
(2).The passage suggests that the French child ______.（分数：1.00） A.is as he is because of the climate B.only associates with adults C.is not treated as a child √ D.is forced to behave like an adult
解析：[解析] 细节推断题。根据题干关键词the French child定位到原文尾段。尾段提到French parents, prelude to adult life, his bright judgment of men and things的信息说明法国的父母和孩子相处时，会拿他们当大人，会像要求大人那样要求孩子。故答案为C。
(3).The word \"prelude\" in the phrase \"...but necessary prelude to adult life\" (in the 2nd sentence of Paragraph 3 probably means ______.（分数：1.00） A.introductory stage √ B.consequent event C.inevitable result D.acceptable reason
解析：[解析] 语义题。根据上下文即可分析出，儿童时期是成人生活的前奏，通过词汇的前缀pre-也可以找到一些线索。故答案为A。
(4).In comparison with French children, English children ______.（分数：1.00） A.are less intelligent √ B.can stand chillier climate
C.receive more care from their parents D.have shorter childhood
解析：[解析] 细节推断题。根据原文第二段首句being intellectually more precocious than...the chillier English climate和原文尾段首句French parents...do their best to develop the child\"s intelligence可以判断出English children没有French children聪明。故答案为A。 (5).French mothers ______.（分数：1.00）
A.know how to appeal to what is best in their children √ B.are the most significant influence in their children\"s lives C.enjoy their children\"s unexpectedly clever remarks D.lack patience in everything
解析：[解析] 细节推断题。根据题干关键词French mothers定位到原文尾段第四句。原句中的appealing, appeals与选项A中的appeal为同根词，the child\"s heart, asking him to be wise与选项A中的what is best in their children对应。故答案为A。
五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：5.00)
Marriage therapists teach a skill called active listening. 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 couples 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 troubled marriage—it\"s true in most happy marriages.
You\"ll often hear that staying in a bad marriage is worse for everybody concerned—especially the children—than 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 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, dealing 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 lenient 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 practice active listening C.Active listening doesn\"t ensure happy marriages D.Active listening has proven to be a little impractical
解析：[解析] 细节判断题。根据题干关键词active listening定位到原文首段。首段提到active listening和fight well是婚姻生活发生问题时截然不同的两种处理方式，前者是冷静的交流沟通，后者是激烈对峙，但前者很难实现，大部分的夫妻都不采取，因此B、C、D三项是正确的论述。故答案为A。 (2).The phrase \"dam up\" in Line 5 means ______.（分数：1.00） A.shut up √ B.get up C.back up D.tighten up
解析：[解析] 语义题。根据clam up所在句之后的一句wife...brings up sticky material issues，接着转折while the husband tries to avoid discussing them. 当妻子发起比较尖锐的话题时，丈夫不愿意讨论，clam up与avoid discussing them意思接近。故答案为A。
(3).We know from Paragraph 1 that the author thinks that a happy marriage ______.（分数：1.00） A.is always full of romance and passion B.requires the tolerance of the husband C.may not be free of quarrels and fights √ D.excludes the discussion of sticky martia lissues
解析：[解析] 细节推断题。根据题干关键词happy marriage定位到原文首段尾句。原句中的it\"s true中的it指代的是上文的fighting well意为：争吵打闹并不是只出现在问题婚姻中，即便是幸福婚姻也很难避免这类事情发生。故答案为C。
(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 harm B.Divorce is not the best solution to a bad marriage √ C.Most couples get divorced for the sake of their children D.Divorce is much better than suffering in a bad marriage
解析：[解析] 细节推断题。根据题干关键词divorce定位到原文第二段。第二段尾句中提到75%认为自己婚姻不幸的夫妻坚持在一起5年之后，也过得幸福了。可推断出，笔者认为离婚并不一定是最好的解决办法。故答案为B。
(5).What\"s the main idea of the last paragraph?（分数：1.00） A.Daily annoyances can do harm to marriages √ B.Marriage is not for romance and passion
C.Surviving major misfortunes help strengthen marriages D.Differences are essential for happy marriages
解析：[解析] 段落主旨题。原文尾段第二句为主题句。原句中的daily annoyances，marriage与选项A重现，原句中的eat away与选项A中的do harm to对应，本段主要想讲述日常生活中的小事对婚姻也起着至关重要的作用。故答案为A。
六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：5.00)
As many as one in four U.S. workers may be chronically angry on the job, with angry employees also more likely to be bored, have low energy and feel \"stuck\" in their posts, according to a report Tuesday. Employees are most likely to be angered by a boss or supervisor by a fellow employee or by others in the workplace not being productive, by tight deadlines or by heavy workloads, said Donald Gibson, a professor at the Yale School of Management.
\"A turbulent economic environment that has produced, on the one hand, productivity and growth and, on the other, wrenching change and uncertainty, has buffeted the workplace,\" the report said. \"While a majority of employees are responding to these conditions with reports of workplace satisfaction there remain a substantial portion who are dissatisfied, even angry, at work,\" it added. \"Most visibly, anger is linked to workplace aggression, which appears to be increasing: We are weekly confronted with stories of workers taking aggressive, even violent, action particularly against supervisors.\" The survey found that 25 percent of those contacted said they were at least somewhat angry at work on a continuing basis. Angry employees tend to have less energy and interest in the job, and tend also to be bored, according to Gibson. And angry employees tend to feel \"stuck\" in the job. The study did not speculate on what percentage of angry workers are likely to resort to violence. It did find that they feel less loyal to an employer.

七、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：5.00)
Some travelers believe carriers intentionally ground half-filled flights to cut cost, only to fill up later planes. Mysterious cancellations just rub people the wrong way. One passenger complained that an American Airlines gate agent told him he didn\"t have the foggiest idea why a flight had been cancelled. Wary of lost bags and long waits at check-in and luggage carousel, many passengers try to lug as much carry-on baggage as they can, slowing boarding and increasing the stress on other passengers. Stephanie Mehas, a passenger, said, \"Always pack two properly sized carryons,\" she says, \"but many people come banging down the aisle with multiple bags, expecting to jam them all in the overhead bin.\" This can be dangerous. Falling carry-on bags annually injure thousands of passengers.
As to the present situation, veteran airline observer Robert Poole contends that legislation and industry promises \"are stopgaps\". Greater regulation will do nothing to spur innovation, and, he notes, between 1998 and 2010, air travel in America will have expended 40 percent to one billion annual passengers, overwhelming our ready strained infrastructure. Unless the system is expended, he predicts customer service will continue its over-all downward trend. The ultimate solution, says Poole, is to complete the \"unfinished revolution\" that began in 1978 with government deregulation of airline routes and fares. Poole believes that the antiquated, overly bureaucratic air-traffic-control system could be privatized, following the successful model of Nay Canada, which uses high-tech equipment and modern administrative procedure. Another innovation that has shown great promise abroad is smaller, privately owned airports offering point-to-point service using new fuel-efficient jets. More of these airports will
relieve the pressure on the big airports, but put pressure on the carriers to improve.（分数：5.00）
(1).The sentence \"...didn\"t have the foggiest idea\" in Line 3 means ______.（分数：1.00） A.he didn\"t know √ B.he knew, but couldn\"t say C.be vaguely knew

B.more time in boarding C.pressure on other passengers D.disorder on the plane √

八、Passage Six(总题数：1，分数：5.00)
Here are two elements in life that Americans do save carefully: time and labor.
Americans are \"slaves to nothing but the clock\an almost tangible entry. In their language, there are words associated with it; time can be budgeted, saved, wasted, stolen, killed, and cut. Americans also charge for time. It is a precious commodity to them. Many people have a rather acute sense of the shortness of each lifetime. Once the sands have run out of a person\"s hourglass, they cannot be replaced. They want every minute to count.
Since people value time highly, they hate someone else \"wasting\" it beyond a certain courtesy point. This affects the matter of patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of them have what might be called \"a short fuse\". They begin to splutter and move restlessly about if they feel time is slipping away without some return—be this in terms of pleasure, work value or rest.
Normally Americans do not assess their visitors in relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talk; much less do they take out for dinner, while they develop a pre-business sense of trust and rapport. Rapport to most of them is less important than performance. They seek out credentials of past performance rather than evaluating a business colleague through social manners. Since they generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, they start talking business very quickly.
Most Americans live in time segments by engagement calendars. These calendars may be divided into intervals as short as fifteen minutes. They often \"give\" a person two or three (or more) segments
of their calendar, but in the business world they almost always have other appointments following hard on the heels of whatever they are doing. Time is therefore always ticking in their inner ear.（分数：5.00）

Then came the day when, as a young columnist, my main 3 was to read. And I got to like it. My head spun! An unknown passion took 4 of me. What happened? For me, it was the 5 of a new state of being in love. I began to take possession of books and to annotate them. 6 I would tell them, in an only slightly 7 way, how much I liked them or didn\"t. Today, 25 years later, I 8 through my books from those days and it\"s magic, finding myself face to face with the young man I once was. Sometimes I 9 him. Other times

A powerful personal growth tool is the 30-day trial. This is a concept I borrowed from the shareware industry, where you can 1 a trial version of a piece of software and try it out risk-free for 30 days before you\"re required to buy the 2 version. It\"s also a great way to develop new 3 , and best of all, it\"s brain-dead simple. Let\"s say you want to start a new habit like an exercise program or 4 a bad habit like sucking on cancer sticks. We all know that getting 5 and sticking with the new habit for a few weeks is the hard part. Once you\"ve overcome inertia, it\"s much easier to keep going. Yet we often psyche ourselves out of getting started by 6 thinking about the change as something 7 before we\"ve even begun. It seems too overwhelming to think about making a big change and 8 with it every day for the rest of your life when you\"re still habituated to doing the 9 . The more you think about the change as something permanent, the more you 10 where you are. But what if you thought about making the change only 11 say for 30 days—and then you\"re free to go back to your old habits? That doesn\"t seem so hard anymore. Exercise daily for just 30 days, then quit. Maintain a 12 organized desk for 30 days, then slack off. Read for an hour a day for 30 days, then go back to watching TV.
Could you do it? It still 13 a bit of discipline and commitment, but not nearly so much as making a permanent change. Any 14 deprivation is only temporary. You can 15 down the days to freedom.
And for at least 30 days, you\"ll gain some benefit. It\"s not so bad. You can handle it. It\"s only one month out of your life.（分数：15.00）

Write the essay on the Answer Sheet only.
（分数：25.00）
__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：()
解析：Which is more important to one\"s success cooperative or competitive? For such questions. different people have different views. But in my conception, I guess cooperation is more vital than competitive.
Firstly, cooperation is our human being\"s intrinsic motive. When human beings could be called \"human beings\" who are different with animals, cooperation is one of the most important factors for our evolution. We have wiser brain than any other creatures on this planet because we know how to achieve our goal through team work. We could say that without cooperation, maybe we are still live in Stone-era.
Secondly, in modem society, we are facing more and more sophistication in social division of labor. The TV set which is very common to everybody of us is made up of thousands of spare parts which maybe made in hundreds of factory. The car, the computer, even the sewing machine and fruit knife is very complicated during the manufacture procedure. Similarly at one workshop, a small member team, even wife and husband, we need to be cooperative with each other.
Thirdly, we make preparation for success, we have to be cooperative. In modem management points of view, cooperation and inter-dependence are elites. We are always emphasizing \"synergy\" which means 1+1 more than 2. Cooperation is the match which could lighten fire. Cooperation is the key which could open the door of success.
However, like a coin has two sides, we cannot overlook the effective and positive influence of competition. Cooperation, then competition, I think, is the right way.
