题型:不详难度:来源:
For me, it’s just a matter of education, good manners, and common sense. If I go to a beautiful place, it is because I want to enjoy nature. I can do it, but without bothering (打扰) other people.
Nowadays, that’s the biggest problem. People disturb other people, first with the ringing of their cellphones and then with their conversations because they usually speak very loudly. Not everybody in a public place should have to listen to private conversations (私人谈话). Even more annoying, you hear just one part of the conversation.
People need to learn how to use cellphones correctly. If there is an emergency (紧急情况),cellphones are acceptable, but remember that just a few years ago few people had cellphones and the whole society survived!
But again, not everybody wants to listen to other people’s private conversations. It’s like smoking. People don’t want to be bothered by smokers. Our society has to learn to respect other people.
Sometimes when you are talking to someone, that person interrupts the conversation because of a cellphone call, without saying “I’m sorry.” That is bad manners. They don’t know how to respect other people. It’s just common sense! But our society is sometimes so “common senseless!” So, we have to write some rules to prohibit(禁止)cellphone use in some places.
小题1:What could be the best title for the passage?
A.Cellphone Manners Are a Must | B.How to Use Cellphones |
C.Don’t Disturb Others | D.The Popularity (流行) of Cellphones |
A.People are disturbed by those who use cellphones. |
B.People can’t hear the other part of the conversation. |
C.Private conversations are carried out on cellphones. |
D.Not everyone uses a cellphone in public places. |
A.smoking also does harm to other people’s health |
B.people don’t want to listen to others talk |
C.people don’t want to be bothered by cellphone talkers |
D.some people don’t want others to smoke |
A.If we interrupt the conversation with a cellphone call, we should say sorry. |
B.Some of the cellphone users don’t have good manners. |
C.Before using cellphones, we must know how to respect others. |
D.People who use cellphones are not interested in beautiful scenery at all. |

小题1:A
小题1:C
小题1:D
解析
小题1:A根据第三段前两句Nowadays, that’s the biggest problem. People disturb other people, first with the ringing of their cellphones and then with their conversations because they usually speak very loudly.可知答案。
小题1:C根据划线部分的前一句But again, not everybody wants to listen to other people’s private conversations.不是人人想听别人的谈话可知作者用吸烟的例子来说明情况
小题1:D People who use cellphones are not interested in beautiful scenery at all.“用手机的人不喜欢美景”与第一段第一句意思背离,第一句是说“你在赏景这时手机铃声打破了这份安宁。”故D选项叙述不正确

举一反三
Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return, and Lee’s is one of them.
The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical (制药的) company before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.
Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition (转换) to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”
小题1:By “a one-way street” (Line 1, Para. 1), the author means ________.
A.university researchers know little about the commercial world |
B.there is little exchange between industry and academia |
C.few industrial scientists would quit to work in a university |
D.few university professors are willing to do industrial research |
A.Flexible work hours. | B.Her research interests. |
C.Her preference for the lifestyle on campus. | D.Prospects of academic accomplishments. |
A.do financially more rewarding work | B.raise his status in the academic world |
C.enrich his experience in medical research | D.exploit better intellectual opportunities |
A.Increase its graduates’ competitiveness in the job market. |
B.Develop its students’ potential in research. |
C.Help it to obtain financial support from industry. |
D.Gear its research towards practical applications. |
Her point is that blind luck is very rare. You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you. If you’ re a Chinese,you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump (树桩) for a rabbit to run out and break its neck.
A book by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman, called The Luck Factor, argues we can all make ourselves luckier. It’ s not about going to a temple to burn some incense (香) in hopes that the gods will give you good fortune; it’ s practical advice you can follow each day.
Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies. First he divided volunteers into two groups:those who said they were lucky in life and those who said they were not. He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through it to count how many photographs it had inside. On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds. Why? On the second page of the newspaper, a command, “Stop counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper,” was written in big letters. The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message.
It’s easy to compare this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper. They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an even better opportunity. People who are “lucky”, in fact, keep an open mind and don’t go through the same routine every day.
I first came to China in 2002 when it was considered a rather strange thing to do. Like many foreigners,my plan was to teach English for one year. Seven years later, and still here, I’ ve had many great opportunities such as writing for newspapers and magazines. I did not dream these would have been possible. I’ ve also never been sick, had an accident, got into a fight or had problems with the police. Coincidence(巧合)? After reading about Professor Wiseman’ s studies I think not.
As Wiseman advises, I usually trust my own judgment. Your friends and parents may give you advice based on rational (理性)thinking, but it’s important to consider how you feel about each choice you make. Your feeling acts as a warning for a potential (潜在)problem.
Finally, try to turn bad luck into good. Even if you do fall down and break a leg, the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English.

One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation(愤慨)after a hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the loser’s objection to the final decision. They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was very angry and he said, “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension(停赛)of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that they would not give up the first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their competition. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player popped the ball into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sports are played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism(爱国主义).
小题1:According to the author, recent Olympic Games have ________.
A.caused national pride for athletes |
B.created goodwill between the nations |
C.hardly showed any international friendship |
D.led to less misunderstanding between countries |
A.His team would no longer take part in international games. |
B.There should be no hockey matches organized by the Federation. |
C.Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions. |
D.The International Hockey Federation should be dismissed forever. |
A.too much patriotism was displayed in the games |
B.the announcement to prolong the match was wrong |
C.the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decision |
D.the team was right in refusing to accept the silver medals |
A.Sports should be played for the love of one’s nation. |
B.Unfair decisions are common in the Olympic Games. |
C.International competitions will lead to misunderstanding. |
D.The organization for the Olympic Games must be reformed. |
“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Roses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.
Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $520. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I have finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourself”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.
小题1:We can learn from the text that many newly married people__________.
A.find it hard to pay for what they need |
B.have to learn to make their own furniture |
C.take DIY courses run by the government |
D.seldom go to a department store to buy things |
A.run a DIY shop | B.make or repair things |
C.save time and money | D.improve the quality of life |
A.his car repairs cost too much | B.the car repair class was not helpful |
C.He couldn’t possibly do two jobs | D.keeps house and looks after his children |
A.makes shoes in his home | B.does extra work at night |
C.does his own car and home repairs | D.keeps house and looks after his children |
