第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分) A The interview had been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well.Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an unexpected question, "Which is more important, law or love?" Job applicants in the west increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this.And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China. Employers want people skilled, enthusiastic and devoted.So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are.In response, employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant's true personality. The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called Kiersey Personality Sorter.It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, rather than what they know.This is often called aptitude (能力) testing. According to Mark Baldwin of Alliance many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see. This is sometimes called the prisoner's dilemma (窘境).Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest.But they fail because they don't understand what the interviewer is looking for.Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is always the honest answer. 41.The writer wrote the passage to ____. A.give you a piece of advice on a job interview.B.tell you how to meet a job interviewer C.describe the aptitude test. D.advice you how to find a job 42.Why do the interviewers ask such questions? A.they want to discover what the interviewees know. B.they are curious about the answers. C.they try to discover the ability of the interviewees' solving problems.

A.job applicants are always asked such questions B.more Chinese applicants fail to find a job C.applicants should not act as reasonably as a prisoner D.aptitude testing is becoming popular worldwide B We can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging. His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging. Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”. According to Shen, it is the kidney(肾脏)which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bod ies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper. We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves. So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young? This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell. 45. How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging? A. By studying Western medicine. B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine. C . By combining both Western and Chinese medicine. D. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people. 46. What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen? A. Medical treatment.B. People’s good kidney. C.

A. their bodies produce T-cells B. their bodies are unable to fight diseases C. they have reduced strength, loss of hair D. they become weaker and weaker 48. We can probably learn from the passage that _________. A. producing more low calorie food allows people to keep young B. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for health C. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the body D. it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine is (责任编辑：admin) |
