17.A group of people from Denmark have formed the B-Society.According to them,human beings are divided into types:A-People,and B-People.A-People have no problem getting up in the morning,and operate much better earlier in the day.However,B-people are better later in the day."I'm useless early in the morning,"says one of the members of the B-Society."All I can do is drink coffee,and stare into space.People used to get up early because they had to feed the animals.But I haven't got any cows or chickens,so I can sleep late,"She adds.Since the society was set up,the B-Society has welcomed several thousand members.
Right now,the B-Society is fighting hard for businesses to join its B-certification (證明) list.Companies that are"B-certified"basically give their employees the opportunity to come in when they want.In some companies,employees arrive at any time up to 3:30pm---each to their own rhythm (節(jié)奏).
And it is not just businesses that are benefiting from this.Teenagers who can't get out of bed in the morning,and parents who never quite get the kids to school on time,can now benefit from B-classes.From next year,a school in Copenhagen will offer classes which start later in the day (at 10instead of eight).And even the government seems to like the idea.
The B-Society was founded by Camilla Kring,a professor from the University of Copenhagen.On her website,she says,"When B-people's work rhythms are considered at the work place,their productivity (生產(chǎn)力) and quality of life is increased,which can increase productivity for the entire organization."
She adds that,"B-Society will create a new daily rhythm in schools and other institutions (機構(gòu)) as an alternative to the current rhythm of‘early at work and early at home'.We are working for the establishment of kindergartens,primary and secondary schools as well as universities that open between 10am and 8pm."
Would you like to work for a B-certified company?

1.According to the text,who belong to the B-Society?A
A.Late risers.
B.Businessmen.
C.Animal lovers.
D.Sleep experts.
2.In B-certified companies,employees canD.
A.get more working opportunities
B.join any other companies
C.work on any days they choose    
D.go to work at any time of a day
3.In Camilla Kring's opinion,B-peopleC.
A.a(chǎn)re more hard-working than A-people
B.have a better quality of life than A-people
C.a(chǎn)re more productive if given more freedom
D.like the rhythm of"early at work,early at home"
4.The author's purpose in writing this text is toC.
A.stress the importance of getting up early
B.express his attitude towards the B-Society
C.introduce a group having a special daily rhythm
D.call on people to work for B-certified companies.

分析 作者在文章中介紹了丹麥現(xiàn)在實行的一種有特殊的工作節(jié)奏的群體:B-society.他們通常起床得更晚,但是他們工作效率更高.

解答 1.A,推理判斷題,根據(jù)句子B-people are better later in the day."I'm useless early in the morning,"says one of the members of the B-Society."All I can do is drink coffee,and stare into space.People used to get up early because they had to feed the animals.But I haven't got any cows or chickens,so I can sleep late,"She adds.Since the society was set up,the B-Society has welcomed several thousand members可知,B-society的人通常起床較晚,并且他們的工作時間也比較晚,故答案為A.
2.D,推理判斷題,根據(jù)句子Companies that are"B-certified"basically give their employees the opportunity to come in when they want.In some companies,employees arrive at any time up to 3:30pm---each to their own rhythm (節(jié)奏).可以在B-certified中員工可以在任何時候來上班,完全按照他們的節(jié)奏來上班,故答案為D.
3.C,細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段最后一句she says,"When B-people?s work rhythms are considered at the work place,their productivity (生產(chǎn)力) and quality of life is increased,which can increase productivity for the entire organization."可知B-people中的人生產(chǎn)效率更高.故C項正確.
4.C,主旨大意題.作者在文章中主要介紹了丹麥現(xiàn)在實行的一種由特殊的工作節(jié)奏的群體:B-Society.他們通常起床得更晚,但是他們的工作效率似乎更高.故C項正確.

7.Are you still worried about overcharging for your luggage over the weight limit?An"Airport Jacket"containing up to 15kg luggage is designed to help frequent flyers bypass(繞過)airport baggage queues,reduce baggage fees and really lower the risk of lost luggage.
"With airlines beginning to charge for carry-on baggage as well as severely limiting 10aggage allowances for the low fare economy traveler,my partner and I have designed a jacket that can wear your laptop,tablet,two pairs of shoes,a pair of jeans,five T-shirts,a jumper and a camera,"designer Claire Murphy explains."It totals 14 deep pockets,including 8 pockets at hip length,11 pockets at three-quarter length and 14 pockets at full length."
Claire and Benke Murphy came up with the idea while traveling home with their newborn child.They had so much extra carry-on luggage that the airline tried to charge them $ 140 for it,more than the cost of their tickets.So they had to put clothes,chargers,diapers and toys into their pockets,until just over the weight limit.They escaped the tax,but everything sticking out of their pocket saw a pretty uncomfortable plane ride.
However,people have been raising questions about the usefulness of the Airport Jacket,especially the trouble of going through security checkpoints.They are arguing that having to take all out and then putting them back into the pockets is not worth the few tens of dollars you save on a checked luggage.
But Benke claims that walking through airport security is not an issue as long as you follow guidelines for carry-on luggage."It only needs to be worn when checking in and at the boarding gate.What's more,Airport security is not looking at how you store your luggage but checking its contents."
Its makers are currently running a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter,trying to raise  AU100,000.Butthey'veonlyraised AU3,675 so far,although they still have 37 days to go,so it's still hopeful And even if this fails,they may still find a way to get it to market.

32.What's the least possible benefit of using the Airport Jacket?D
A.it may cut down on the luggage fees.
B.it may decrease the risk of losing luggage.
C.it may save the time of passing long queues.
D.it can guarantee you a comfortable flight service.
33.What does the paragraph 3 mainly discuss about?C
A.how much luggage the couple carried
B.how luckily the couple avoided overcharging
C.how the designers got their inspiration
D.how painful the couple's flying experience was
34.What can we infer from this passage?B
A.The pockets of the'Airport Jacket have 28 in total.
B.Not all regard the Airport Jacket as a perfect invention.
C.Crowdfunding is the best way to collect money you need.
D.Airports now begin to limit the number of economy travelers.
35.What will the author probably mention in the next paragraph?B
A.Their kinds of anxiety and fear facing failure.
B.Their possible measures to market their product.
C.Their sharp and powerful attack against those opposed.
D.Their attempts to improve and enlarge the production capacity.
