1．The more women and minorities make their way into the ranks of management，the more they seem to want to talk about things formerly judged to be best left unsaid．The newcomers also tend to see office matters with a fresh eye，in the process sometimes forming critical analyses of the factors that influence everyone's experience in the organization．
Consider the new views of Harvey Coleman of Atlanta on the subject of how people get promoted．Coleman is black．He spent 11 years with IBM，half of them working in management development，and now serves as a consultant in some big companies like AT&T and Coca-Cola．Coleman says that based on what he's seen at big companies，he considers the different roles of the following elements in the long-term success：performance counts a mere 10%，image，30%； and exposure，a full 60%．Coleman concludes that excellent job performance is so common these days that while doing your work well may increase your pay，it won't ensure you the big promotion．He finds that advancement more often depends on how many people know you and your work，and what a high position these people hold．
Ridiculous beliefs？But they are not ridiculous to many people，especially many women and members of minority races who，like Coleman，feel that they have a better picture of the reality．"Women and blacks in organizations work under false beliefs，"says Kaleel Jamison，a New York-based management consultant who helps corporations deal with these issues．"They think that if you work hard，you'll get ahead-that someone in authority will reach down and give you a promotion．"She adds，"Most women and blacks are so frightened that people will think they've got ahead because of their sex or color that they try to make themselves less visible．"Her advice to those folks：learn the ways that white males have traditionally used to find their way to stand out among the people．

41．The best title for this passage would beB．
A．Role of Women and Minorities in Management
B．The Importance of Being Visible
C．Job Performance and Advancement
D．Sex and Career Success
42．According to the passage，the underlined sentence"things formerly judged to be best left unsaid"in the first paragraph probably refers toC．
A．criticisms that cause everyone's experience
B．the tendencies that help the newcomers to see office matters with a fresh eye
C．the opinions which are in conflict with the established beliefs
D．the ideas which usually come up with new ways of management in the organization
43．We can learn from the passage that the most important factor to achieve success in one's career is toA．
A．let your bosses know how good you are
B．establish a favorable image to the people around you
C．work as a consultant to your bosses

B．want to give people the impression that they work under false beliefs
C．believe they can get promoted by their sex or color

11．Defenders of the French language are angered by plans to introduce courses taught in English at public universities，arguing that France must protect itself against the risk of losing its culture identity．
The French Parliament recently started to debate the issue as part of a bill on a broader reform of higher education，but all attention has focused on an article that would lift a 19-year ban on English as a teaching language at public universities．
The French government backs the change，which it says would help French graduates compete in a global economy as the country struggles to regain competitiveness．More French students fearing poor job prospects at home，where youth unemployment is nearly 25percent，are studying and working abroad．One of their main destinations is London，which now has the sixth largest French population in the world．
However，opponents of the bill，including professors，lawmakers and the French language supervision body Academic France，say the global community of French-speaking peoples must be defended and that the change would be a betrayal（背叛） of other French-speaking nations．"If France gives other French-speaking countries the wrong signal by leading an attack against the language，that would be a very，very regrettable thing indeed，"said Claude Hagege，a language scientist．
France has long defended its culture at home and abroad．In 1994，the so-called"Toubon Law"made the use of French compulsory in all TV broadcasts，meaning all foreign-language programs are dubbed（配音），while radio stations must play at least 40percent of French music for most of the day．
Business leaders criticize France's low ranking for English proficiency（熟練度）-it placed 23rd in a 2012global ranking published by education company Education First-even though the use of English has grown notably in academic circles．
Higher Education Minister Genevieve Fioraso said offering English would increase the appeal of French universities at a time when they are falling further behind in international rankings．In a 2011-2012survey by Britain's Times newspaper，the highest-ranked French university is in the 59th position．Private business schools where English is taught rank higher．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）

78．What does"the change"in Paragraph 3refer to？Allowing using English as a teaching language at public universities．
79．Some people are against the change because they think it wouldbe a betrayal of other French-speaking nations/make France lose its cultural identity．
80．According to"Toubon Law"，what is a must for TV stations in France？Using French in all TV broadcasts/The use of French in all TV broadcasts．
81．Genevieve Fioraso thinks the release of the bill may help French universitiesattract more students/be more appealing/rank higher in international rankings．

12．It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy
in my class who came from a non-English speaking home．He was very quiet and shy．I wasn't sure how much he understoo    It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy d during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play．If I tried to talk to him，he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me．
    After a day or two of this，I decided to seek the help from one of my outgoing and friendly little girls．I called her over and she ran to me，ready to help．
    I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from her．I asked her if she would try to get him to play，and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communication with him．I explained she could do that，she could try this idea，she could try that idea．She touched my arm to stop my talking and looked up at me in that wise and special way that only a six-year-old can，and said，"Don't worry，I speak kid"．And she ran off．
    I stood there all alone，silently watching her．It took less than a minute for the two new friends to run off，hand in hand，happily joining a game of tag（捉人游戲） taking place all over the gym．
    I often think of that small moment，about what I learned and how important it is for all teachers to speak kid-big kid，little kid and middle kid．I know my focus must be on teaching students how to think，how to approach problems，and how to figure out solutions and teaching them never to let the opportunity away．We must be ready to learn from our students because those"teachable moments"during the school days are for us，the teachers，as well as our kids．

9．No one knows why people dream，but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn．In a recent study，scientists found a connection between nap-time （午睡時間） dreams and better memory in people who were learning a new skill．
So perhaps one way to learn something new is to practice，practise，practise---and then sleep on it．
"I was surprised by this finding，"Robert Stickgold，a Harvard University scientist who led the study．
In the study，100 college students each spent an hour on a computer，trying to get through a virtual maze （虛擬迷宮）．The maze was difficult，and the study participants had to start in a different place each time they tried---making it even more difficult．
Then，for the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break，half of the participants were required to stay awake while half were told to sleep．Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts．Participants who slept were asked to describe any dream they had．
Stickgold and his colleagues wanted to know about NREM，or non-REM sleep．REM stands for"rapid eye movement"，which is what happens during REM sleep．This period of sleep often brings strange dreams to a sleeper，although dreams can happen in both kinds of sleep．Stickgold wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren't moving，during NREM sleep．Other studies have found a connection between NREM bring activity and learning ability．
Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were about the maze．Later，when these four people tried the computer maze again，they were able to complete it faster．
Stickgold believes the dream itself doesn；t help a person learn---it's the other way around．He suspects that such dreams are caused by the brain processes associated with learning．
All the maze-dreamers had done the task poorly the first time，which makes Stickgold wonder if the NREM dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult．People who had other dreams，or people didn't sleep，didn't show the same improvement．
 
36．In the first stage of the study，the participants were asked toB
A．design a maze on computer
B．find their way out of a maze
C．decide where to begin a maze
D．remember a location in a maze
37．What happened to the participants during the break？D
A．Half of them were woken up when they started to dream．
B．Half of them were asked to dram about the maze．
C．All of them were asked to describe their thoughts．
D．Half of them were asked to sleep for 90 minutes．
38．What can we learn from the passage？D
A．Everyone will dream about a new skill after learning it．
B．Stickgold was the first to study dreams and learning．
C．During NREM sleep，people usually don't dream．
D．Unusual dreams often occur during REM sleep．
39．In the first stage of the study，the participants were asked toB
A．design a maze on computer
B．find their way out of a maze
C．decide where to begin a maze
D．remember a location in a maze
40．Which of the following statement best summarizes the study's conclusion？A
A．Dreams have a role in learning．
B．Dreams have no basis in reality．
C．Dreams are important for health．
D．Dreams are the best way to study．

16．A Korean wave is sweeping across China，and You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs have been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia．Besides，the book，The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane，read by the hero in You Who Came From The Star was a hard-to-get item on Amazon for a while．
After the enormous craze generated by Great Jang-Geum in 2003，the resurgence （復活） of South Korean TV dramas can be attributed to the joint efforts of the country's government and TV series makers．The South Korean government issued regulations saying at least 80percent of the TV programs had to be domestically produced．It also fixed the minimum number of homemade TV series to be broadcast in the country．That not only helped South Korean TV productions gain a firm foothold in the domestic market，but also laid the foundation for their successful attempt into overseas markets．
Recent years have seen great innovations in South Korean TV productions in terms of themes and narrative patterns．Take You Who Came From The Star as an example．Although aliens visiting Earth is an often-used theme，You Who Came From The Star's script remains logical and fast-paced．It mixes the plot with romance and murder and keeps the audience guessing about how the story will unfold．When it comes to love stories，the new South Korean teleplays no longer use the sorrow card； instead，they introduce them with unpredictable ideas and romantic punch lines．
The three TV stations，SBS，KBS and MBC，control the majority of South Korean TV market，each specializing in a different area and appealing to people of different ages．The productions are smooth and use advanced technologies such as high-speed photography and computer-generated effects，creating a real-life visual impact．
Moreover，the filming for South Korean productions generally starts when the scripts （劇本） are just one-third ready．Many popular productions have their own websites，where scriptwriters post part of the finished scripts，inviting viewers to leave messages，discuss the plot and come up with suggestions for future series．This not only keeps viewers'interest in the TV dramas alive，but also helps scriptwriters and directors make changes to the storylines to suit the audience's demand．
Hopefully，the success of South Korean TV programs will prompt Chinese TV drama makers to think up new ideas and abandon their bad practice of copying foreign productions in order to attract more viewers at home，and possibly abroad．

67．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT one South Korean TV drama？C
A．You Who Came From The Star．               B．The Heirs．
C．The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane．  D．Great Jang-Geum．
68．Why are most of South Korean TV programs required to be produced within South Korea？C
A．Because the TV programs produced out of South Korea are poorly made．
B．Because they can't match up to better produced works from other countries．
C．Because South Korean TV series are encouraged to promote its development．
D．Because just South Korea can provide enough TV market for them．
69．What kind of ending does You Who Came From The Star probably have？D
A．Sad and surprising．  B．Violent and frightening．
C．Romantic and sad．    D．Romantic and happy．
70．What's the advantage of South Korean TV programs over Chinese TV dramas？D
A．Government's support．  B．Often-used theme．
C．Different technologies． D．Changeable scripts．
