One such saying is “get your act together”( When things go wrong in a business，an employer may get angry.He may shout，“Stop making mistakes.Get your act together.” Or，if the employer is calmer，he may say，“Let us get our act together.” Either way，the meaning is the same.Getting your act together is getting organized.In business， it usually means to develop a calm and orderly plan of action. It is difficult to tell exactly where the saying began.But，it is probable that it was in the theater or movie industry.Perhaps one of the actors was nervous and made a lot of mistakes.The director may have said，“Calm down，now.Get your act together.” Word expert James Rogers says the expression was common by the late 1970s.Mister Rogers says the Manchester Guardian newspaper used it in 1978.The newspaper said a reform policy required that the British government get its act together. Now，this expression is heard often when officials of a company meet.One company even called its yearly report，“Getting Our Act Together.” The Japanese visitor was confused by another expression used by American business people.It is cut to the chase. She heard that expression when she attended an important meeting of one company.One official was giving a very long report.It was not very interesting.In fact，some people at the meeting were falling asleep. Finally，the president of the company said，“Cut to the chase.” Cut to the chase means to stop spending so much time on details or unimportant material.Hurry and get to the good part. Naturally，this saying was started by people who make movies.Hollywood movie producers believe that most Americans want to see action movies.Many of their movies show scenes in which the actors chase each other in cars，or in airplanes or on foot. Cut is the director’s word for stop.The director means to stop filming，leave out some material，and get to the chase scene now. So，if your employer tells you to cut to the chase，be sure to get to the main point of your story quickly. 1(After the woman visited the United States she might feel that ________. A(her English was poor B(it’s easy to master EnglishC(it’s difficult to make money D(people there weren’t very friendly 答案 A 解析 推理判断题。由第二段内容可知～通过去美国的经历～她感觉尽管之前自己学过 英语～但由于英语语言的复杂性～她还是感觉自己英语水平有限～不能自由交流。 2(In which situation could the words “get your act together” be used? A(A task is completed successfully. B(Players perform badly in a match. C(Audience is satisfied with the actor’s performance in a movie. D(Visitors make a tiresome and unpleasant trip to someplace. 答案 B 解析 推理判断题。根据第七段可知～“get your act together”意为:好好组织～让行动 等变得更加有理有序。因此～“get your act together”一般用于出现了混乱局面或者犯了 错误的情况下。 3(According to the text，the expression “get one’s act together” ________. A(was first used by a Japanese businesswoman B(was forbidden to be used in the government policy C(originally came from a yearly report of a company D(was commonly read by readers in a newspaper in 1978 答案 D 解析 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第九段可知～语言学家认为这一表达法在1978年时被 广泛应用～人们在报纸上可以看到它。 4(What do the sayings “get your act together” and “cut to the chase” have in common?

Fox Point is operated by Palladia，a group that specializes in providing housing and services to needy people.Palladia received support from Enterprise Community Partners (ECP)，which helps build affordable housing by providing support to housing developers. ECP has created national standards for healthy，environmentally (环境方面) clever and affordable homes which are called the Green Communities Standards.These standards include water keeping，energy saving and the use of environmentally friendly building materials.Meeting the standards increases housing construction costs by 2%，which is rapidly paid back by lower running costs.Even the positioning of a window to get most daylight can help save energy. Michael Bloomberg，New York’s mayor，plans to create 165,000 affordable housing units for 500,000 New Yorkers.Almost 80% of New York City’s greenhouse gas emissions come from buildings，and 40% of those are caused by housing.So he recently announced that the city’s Department of Housing and Preservation and Development (DHPD)，whose duty is to develop and keep the city’s supply of affordable housing，will require all its new projects to follow ECP’s green standards. Similar measures have been taken by other cities，such as Cleveland and Denver，but New York’s DHPD is the largest city developer of affordable housing in the country.(2010?四川，B) 5(What is the purpose of describing the boiler rooms in the first paragraph?

A(Lower running costs. B(Costing less in construction. C(Less air to be lost in hot days. D(Better prices for homeless people. 答案 A 解析 细节理解题。由第三段中的“which is rapidly paid back by lower running costs”可 知～该建筑的优点是lower running costs。 7(It can be learned from the text that________. A(New York City is seriously polluted B(people’s daily life causes many carbon emissions in New York City C(a great number of people in New York City don’t have houses to live in D(some other cities have developed more affordable housing than New York City 答案 B 解析 推理判断题。由第四段可知～纽约市80%的温室气体排放是来自各种建筑物～而 这其中40%是由于住房造成的。故可推断出B项“在纽约市～人们的日常生活导致了许 多温室气体的排放”。 8(What is the main purpose of this text? A(To call on people to pay more attention to housing problems. B(To prove that some standards are needed for affordable housing. C(To ask society to help homeless people and low-income families. D(To introduce healthy，environmentally clever and affordable housing. 答案 D 解析 主旨大意题。本文主要就是介绍这种健康、环保、价格低廉的房屋。故选D项。 ?.阅读理解 A In Asia，there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them.Although all kites have a similar structure(结构)，they are widely different in size and shape.Kite-fighting competitions are also held，in which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents’(对手) kites or cut their strings(线)( For more than 15 years，the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite-making and kite-flying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii.In its kite-making lessons，students can make kites in as little as 20 minutes～Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite.Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980.Their kites are made of nylon(尼 龙)(Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne.The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite. The kite that is used to give lessons is a regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern.The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite.Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in.Then the controls are given to the students. Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites.Even the simplest structure can work，and can give hours of fun.Go on，give it a try～ (2012?安徽，D) 1(Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A(A hot knife is used to iron the nylon. B(Children never fly kites on their own in flying lessons. C(Kite strings must not be cut in kite-fighting competitions. D(Daphne designs kites for the Big Wind Kite Factory. 答案 D 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知～使用加热的刀是切割(cut)尼龙～而不是iron the nylon(熨烫尼龙)～故A项错,B项与第三段最后一句“Then the controls are given to the students.”相悖,根据第一段最后一句可知C项错。由第二段倒数第二句“Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne.”可知D项正确。 2(What is different about the kite used for flying lessons? A(It has two strings. B(It is simple in design. C(It has a rainbow pattern. D(It is shaped like a diamond. 答案 A 解析 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite.”可知～与孩子们在制作课 上制作的风筝不同的是飞行课上使用的风筝是双线控制的～故选A项。 3(According to Jonathan，what do you need to have fun with kites? A(A large kite. B(Any type of kite. C(A complex structure. D(A kite that impresses others. 答案 B 解析 观点判断题。最后一段介绍的是Jonathan的观点。根据“...it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite...”可知A、D两项不正确,C项与最后一段第二句“Even the simplest structure can work～and can give hours of fun.”相悖。结合最后一段可推知～Jonathan认为 任何类型的风筝都可以给你带来快乐～故选B项。 4(What is mainly described in the text? A(A kite factory. B(Kite-flying lessons. C(Special competitions. D(The kite-making process. 答案 A 解析 主旨大意题。本文主要是介绍一家风筝厂15年来一直为夏威夷一座岛屿上的孩子 们开设风筝制作和风筝飞行的课程。文章主要聚集于这家工厂～讲述kite-making and kite-flying lessons是为介绍这家工厂服务的～另外文中涉及两类课程～B项只是“风筝飞 行课程”～显然不全面。文章首段提到特殊的比赛～是为了引出风筝比赛～进而引出本 文的中心话题～选C项就会本末倒置。D项“风筝制作过程”在文中并未涉及。 B Here is an astonishing and significant fact:Mental work alone can’t make us tired.It sounds absurd.But a few years ago，scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳)(To the amazement of these scientists，they discovered that blood passing through the brain，when it is active，shows no fatigue at all～If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer，we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products.But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein，it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day. So far as the brain is concerned，it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning.The brain is totally tireless.So what makes us tired? Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情感的) attitudes.One of England’s most outstanding scientists，J.A.Hadfield，says，“The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin.In fact，fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr.Brill，a famous American scientist，goes even further.He declares，“One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.” What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired,Joy,Satisfaction,No～A feeling of being bored，anger，anxiety，tenseness，worry，a feeling of not being appreciated—those are the emotions that tire sitting workers.Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue.We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.(2013?辽宁，C) 5(What surprised the scientists a few years ago? A(Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood. B(Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn out after a day’s work. C(The brain could work for many hours without fatigue. D(A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins. 答案 C 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段第三、四句可知选C。 6(According to the author，which of the following can make sitting workers tired? A(Challenging mental work. B(Unpleasant emotions. C(Endless tasks. D(Physical labor. 答案 B 解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“A feeling of being bored～anger～anxiety～ tenseness～worry～a feeling of not being appreciated...”可知选B。 7(What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ ideas? A(He agrees with them. B(He doubts them. C(He argues against them. D(He hesitates to accept them. 答案 A 解析 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段特别是最后两句可判断作者是同意科学家的说法 的。 8(We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic，sitting workers need to________. A(have some good food B(enjoy their work C(exercise regularly D(discover fatigue toxins 答案 B 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段的叙述～可知导致工人疲劳的是一些不良情绪～由此 可推断以极大的热情对待工作～也就是喜爱工作～就能保持旺盛的精力。 ?.阅读填空 Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around you.You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life.These people have something in common.__1__ How is it done,Here are several skills that good talkers have.If you follow the skills，they’ll help you put people at their ease and make friends with them quickly.

The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB)，which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall，has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants.Beds that are too small， shower heads that are too low，and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height，it says. But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met.The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds，doorways，and chairs has remained unchanged. “The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it，so even a king-size bed at 6′6″ (6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men，while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for less than half of the male population，” said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy， “Seven-foot beds would work fine.” Similarly，restaurant tables can cause no end of problems.Small tables，which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them，are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere. Some have already taken note，however.At Queens Moat Houses’ Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh，6′6″ beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors，particularly Americans.

A(They may lose some customers. B(They may start businesses elsewhere. C(They have to find easy chairs to match the tables. D(They have to provide enough space for the long-legged. 答案 A 解析 细节理解题。文章倒数第二段提到:Small tables～which...away from them～are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.由此可知:如果饭馆餐桌小～可能会失去一些顾客。 8(What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh? A(Tall people pay more for larger beds. B(6′6″ beds have taken the place of 6′3″ beds. C(Special rooms are kept for Americans.

What made him extraordinary was not only that he was a rising star.He had only recently collected the highest honors for young researchers at the White House.We truly admired him—as someone put it, “He always has a smile and a kind word for everyone.” It is very hard to find someone who is extremely intelligent should be so nice a human being. I decided that we needed him to know our_attitude and also how we are all praying for his recovery.I bought him a simple card which read, “Healing thoughts and wishes coming your way.” I met all the students he worked closely with and got them to sign on it.Each student in his laboratory signed and also added a message.“We love you so much”， “We miss you～We need you back here—get well soon”， “Please come back”， “Thank you for being such an inspiring teacher”， “I hope you recover soon”(..These were some of the messages that were written.Most of the students were really glad we were doing this and said it was a very good idea to give it to him. He is still undergoing(经历) intense treatment，and along with his family is trying his best to stay optimistic and hopeful.I didn’t see a trace of self-pity or sadness when I met him last week.Instead，he paid attention to every word of my presentation and asked me several questions related to my work.I was amazed at how much he gave his 100% on that day in spite of being in pain because of chemotherapy(化疗)(He did not know if he even had another month to live.“I am trying to focus on staying positive，hoping to be back this summer，”he said. Needless to say，I saw an expression of joy and hope on his face as he opened the card.He said he was truly touched to see the messages from the students he worked closely with. There is one thing I learnt from last week:It is so important to tell people how much they mean to us and what an inspiration they are before it becomes too late.My professor，in spite of being too sick to teach classes，has managed to continue being a great teacher，introducing his last valuable message to us. 1(The professor was admired because ________.

A(was suffering from great pain B(was still very confident C(didn’t know he would die soon D(still cared for others 答案 D 解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“...he paid attention to every word of my presentation...I was amazed at how much he gave his 100% on that day in spite of being in pain...”可知～让作者惊异的是重病的教授此时仍然关心他人。 4(Of the following statements，the writer may agree that ________. A(the professor loves his job very much B(few students supported the writer’s decision at first C(the professor will go back to teach this summer D(the professor often feels sorry for himself 答案 A 解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“‘I am trying to focus on staying positive～hoping to be back this summer～’ he said.”可知教授非常热爱他的工作～希望尽快回到工作岗位上。 B Whether you are just getting ready to start college or are considering a career change，you will want to choose a field that is showing long-term stability.If you know which careers are showing stable growth potential，you will choose a right job in your future. Nursing is a field which will grow extremely fast over the next several years.At present there are about 2.5 million nurses working in the field and a half million more are expected to be added soon.Nursing salaries average about $66,000 per year，but they can go up to over $140,000 with higher education and specialized field training.Nursing also provides the benefit of flexible(灵活的) time，allowing you to choose when you want to work. Engineering is one of the hottest and most stably growing careers in the country.There is plenty of opportunity for advancement and income growth in this field.Starting salaries for engineers is higher than most other jobs because a college degree is required.There are also many different fields of specialization to choose from as an engineer.Average salaries are around $72,000，but can quickly be more than $120,000 with experience and position. Online marketing is a field that is fairly new to the career market and there is exciting growth potential.It offers a lot of flexibility with many different specialized areas.The average salary for online marketers is $53,000 per year，but some who work in specialized areas make over $200,000. Although the job as a financial advisor is an extremely competitive career field，the projected growth for this field leaves plenty of room for new job seekers.The salary potential for this career increases with experience and education level but on average financial advisors make $67,000 a year. 5(The similarity of the four careers is that all of them ________.
