6．The round-the-clock（24小時不斷的） availability that cell phone have brought to people's lives may be taking a toll on family life，a new study suggests．The study，which followed more than 1，300 adults over 2 years，found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout die study period were more likely to report negative"spillover"between work and home life-and，in turn，less satisfaction with their family life．
Spillover essenrially（本質(zhì)上） means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear．Work life may invade home life when a parent ia taking job-related calls at home，for instance-or family issue may start to take up work time．For example，a child may call mom at work，telling her"microwave exploded"，explained Noclle Chesley．a(chǎn)n assistant professor of sociology at the Univcisity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the author of the study．The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing forever more spillover between work and home．
This may be especially true for working women，the study found．Among men，consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep（潛入） into family time．But for women，the spillover tended to go in both directions being"connected"meant that work cut into home time，and family issues came into work life．
Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members．But there may be ways to control the spillover，according to Chesley．"Employers"，she said，"could look at their policies on contacting employees after hours to make sure their expectations are‘reasonable'"．"For their part，employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time，"Chesley said．
61．What does the underlined phrase"taking a toll on"probably mean in Paragraph 1？D
A．Explaining                           B．Protecting．          
C．Extending．                          D．Damaging．
62．What is the purpose of offering the example"microwave exploded"in Paragraph 2？C
A．To show the microwave is of poor quality．
B．To indicate how dependent me child is．
C．To indicate family issues affect work hours．      
D．To show work time creeps into family life．
63．As a result of negative"spillover"，people will feelA
A．less satisfied with their family life                
B．less satisfied with their work
C．a(chǎn)ngry with their troublesome children             
D．unwilling to get married at an early age
64．According to Chesley，what is the best solution to the problem caused by cell phones？B
A．Refuse to use cell phones．                       
B．Separate work hours from family time．
C．Ignore coming calls during family time．          
D．Encourage women to stay at home．
65．We can learn from the passage thatA．

分析 最新研究表明，手機(jī)24小時處于待機(jī)狀態(tài)會嚴(yán)重影響人們的家庭生活．研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，在這期間頻繁使用手機(jī)的人常常會覺得他們在工作和家庭之間失去了平衡，即所謂的擠占效應(yīng)，而他們對自己的家庭生活也感到了不滿．對此，研究人員提出了解決這一問題的建議．

解答 61．D　詞義猜測題．下文講到手機(jī)使人們的工作時間和生活時間之間的界限變得模糊，手機(jī)在帶給人們便利的同時，也給人們帶來了對家庭生活的不滿，故答案選D．
62．C　推理判斷題．Wisconsin-Milwaukee大學(xué)的社會學(xué)副教授Noelle Chesley舉此例的目的在于說明母親在工作時被孩子的電話所打擾．孩子說"家里的微波爐炸了"，顯然是指家庭事務(wù)影響了工作．
63．A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段最后一句were more likely to report negative"spillover"between work and home life-and，in turn，less satisfaction with their family life．可得出對家庭生活不夠滿意．故答案為A
64．B　推理判斷題．根據(jù)最后一段，Chesley建議公司老板可以考慮改變下班時間打電話給雇員的方式，確保他們對雇員有一個合理的期望值．而對于雇員來說，他們可以在下班時間關(guān)掉手機(jī)，盡情享受家庭時光．
65．A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段第一句Spillover essenrially（本質(zhì)上） means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear．可知答案．

點(diǎn)評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實(shí)于原文，因此，每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句，（1）排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項(xiàng)（2）排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項(xiàng)  （3）排除用于過于極端或負(fù)面的選項(xiàng)（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．

17．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．
The X-Factor （英國偶像），Britain's got talent（英國達(dá)人），American Idol（美國偶像）and Super girl，TV talent shows are popular all over the world．
There are many reasons for that．To start with，the show can make the contestant（選手） famous overnight．Susan Boyle was an ordinary English woman before she appeared on Britain's Got talent，in which she sang"I Dreamed a Dream"．The video clip （片段） of her performance was viewed more than 50 million times within a few weeks．Second，the show offers a good opportunity to display one's talents．Third，everybody has a fair chance to be involved in the show regardless of the age and background．Even if you can't perform in the show，you can vote for your favorite contestant through cell phones and the Internet．Fourth，the fun and humorous style also appeals to young people．Last but not least，the modern media such as TV and the Internet contributes greatly to its rapid popularity．
However，many people express concerns about TV talent shows．They argue that the TV talent show misleads the young people and makes them believe that they can become famous overnight．Some think the show only creates entertainers rather than artists，because many winners have little idea about real music and acting．What's worse，some judges even humiliate （羞辱） and laugh at contestants．One contestant from American Idol committed suicide because she couldn't stand the rejection and humiliation．Even the winners suffer．Susan Boyle suffered a nervous breakdown soon after the show，because she was unable to deal with the pressure．
Many countries have realized the problems and taken some steps to regulate the show．The UK requires that contestants younger than 16 not be allowed to participate．China bans TV talent shows to be broadcast during the prime time．In the USA，some insulting judges are punished．

14．Shaking hands is a part of business life．a(chǎn)nd while it's a simple gesture，it's important to getit right Here are some tips to follow．
（1）Make eye contact．The handshake is firstly a form of greeting and as such you are looking at the person to make a connection with him or her，beyond the immediate physical handshake．
（2）Introduce your self．A handshake is only part of the graeting process； combine it with an oral introduction or message．
（3）Use your right hand If you have something to do with your right hand，you should explain to him or her and say sorry while showing your left hand to him or her to get the forgiveness．
（4）Be firm and steady．No one likes a dead-fish handshake，but it's not a wrestling contest，either．The pressure you need to apply is about what you'd use to pick up a full drink bottle．
（5）BA few seconds is all that is needed．Your aim is to greet the person，not to trap him．
Here is something that you should not do．
（1）Squeeze lt's called a handshake，not a hand squeeze Squeezing can hurt the other person's hand，especially if he or she is wearing rings．
（2）Use a two-handed shake．Don't do that unless it's a person you know well．Between new acquaintances，the double-handed shake can be considered smarmy（討好的）．This also napplies to using the left hand to touch the person's shoulder．
（3）Use a dirty or sweaty hand．If you're nervous and your palm is sweat，press your palm against your leg to wipe it dry．

36．According to the passage，before a handshake，if you are doing something with your right hand，C．
A．you must stop doing it at once                B．you can ask him or her to wait
C．you should explain and apologize              D．you can use your left hand
37．What's the best title for point 5in the tips-to-follow part？B
A Greet the person                   B．Keep it brief．
C．Make your aim clear．               D．Don't embarrass your hand-shaker．
38．According to the passage，if you shake hands with someone you meet for the first time，which of the following is polite to do？C
A．Use your two hands to show your respect．
B．Put your left hand on his or her shoulder when shaking hands．
C．Make sure that your hand is dry before shaking hands．
D．Use your right hand to squeeze his or her hand．
39．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage？B
A．Where we should look when shaking hands．
B．Who should hold out his or her hand first to shake hands．
C．How much pressure should be used when you shake hands．
D．How long a handshake  should last．
40．We can infer that the writer spurpose in writing this passage is toD．
A．tell us the importance of a great handshake
B．show us what kinds of handshakes are considered impolite
C．give us some tips on how to make a good first impression

1．The State of Marriage Today
Is there something seriously wrong with marriage today？During the past 50years，the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded：almost 50%of marriages end in divorce now，and the evidence suggests it is going to get worse，if this trend continues．It will lead to the breakup of the family，according to a spokesperson for the National Family Association．Some futurists predict that in 100years，the average American will marry at least four times and extramarital affairs（婚外戀） will be even more common than they are now．
But what are the reasons for this，and is the picture really so depressing？The answer to the first question is really quite simple：marriage is no longer the necessity it once was．The practice of marriage has been based for years partly on economic need．Women used to be economically dependent on their husbands as they usually didn't have jobs outside the home．But with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs，this is no longer the case，so they don't feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage．
In answer to the second question，the prospects may not be as pessimistic as they seem．While the rate of divorce has risen，the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much，so marriage is still quite popular．In addition to this，many couples now cohabit（同居） and don't bother to marry．These couples are effectively married，but they do not appear in either the marriage or divorce statistics．In fact，more than 50%of first marriages survive．The statistics are unreliable because there is a higher number of divorces in second and third marriages than in first marriages．
So is marriage really an outdated practice？The fact that most people still get married indicates that it isn't．And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people：they suffer less from stress and its consequences，such as heart problems，and married men generally consider themselves more satisfied than their single counterparts．Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage and apply it to all of our relationships!

65．What does"this is no longer the case"in paragraph two mean？C
A．It is not necessary to get married any more．
B．Women do not need a husband any longer．
C．Women are not economically dependent any more．
D．Many wives do well-paying jobs outside home now．
66．Why may the prospects of marriage not be as depressing as it appears？A
A．Many people still like to get married．
B．The rate of divorce has actually decreased．
C．many couples would rather cohabit than marry
D．The statistics of divorce is not quite true．
67．How do people usually feel in their marriage life？C
A．They are much safer．     B．They feel no longer single．
C．They are more satisfied． D．They suffer a lot less．
68．Which of the following about marriage is NOT mentioned in the passage？B
A．There will be more relationships outside marriage．
B．Many people try to get married again after divorce．
C．Marriage has long been partly an economic need．
D．It is a fact that most people choose to get married．

11．Just 25years ago，the top three career hopes for young people in Britain were teacher，banker and doctor．Now，they want to be sports star，pop star and actor，according to  survey by the Guardian newspaper．
Rachel，a character in the popular TV show Glee，may be said to speak for British teenagers．"Nowadays being nobody is worse than being poor．"He said．
Emma Brockes，a reporter with the Guardian，believes it is"the bad influence of celebrity（名人） culture"that is to blame．"When children wanted to be doctor，it wasn't because they were really more interested in the functions of human organs than they are now； you go where the respect is．"She wrote．
It could explain why there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression．Dr Carlo Stranger，of Tel Aviv University，studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance：Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century．He told the Daily Mail that young people now are"affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network，which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession（癡迷）．"
"As humans，we naturally measure ourselves to those around us，but now we live in a global village．We are comparing ourselves with the most‘important'people in the world and finding ourselves wanting，"he said．Today，even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media．
The way out？Simply stop measuring your achievement through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity．Dr Strenger said that it is a process called"active self-acceptance through a constant search for self-knowledge through life．"
"The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement，"he said．

66．Nowadays，young people in Britain want toB．
A．choose jobs based on interests     B．become famous
C．be teacher，banker and doctor      D．earn more money
67．According to Emma Brockes，what causes the increasing level of anxiety？C

18．As the pace of life continues to increase，we are fast losing the art of relaxation．Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift，being on the go from looming till night，it is hard to slow down．But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body．
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it．In fact，it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be．A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life．It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health．
The amount of stress a person can stand depends very much on the individual．Some people are not afraid of stress，and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities．Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties．When exposed to stress，in whatever form，we react both chemically and physically．In fact we make a choice between"fight"or"flight"，and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death．The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme，but however little the stress is，it involves the same response．It is when   such a reaction  lasts long，through continued exposure to stress，that health becomes endangered．Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress．Since we cannot remove stress from our lives （it would be unwise to do so，even if we could we need to find ways to deal with it．

61．People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves becauseC．
A．they have no idea of the art of relaxation
B．they are in the habit of rushing through lift
C．they are becoming more occupied with their work
D．they do not believe that relaxation is important for health
62．According to the writer，the most important quality for a good manager is hisA．
A．not fearing stress                      B．not depending on others
C．reaction chemically and physically      D．knowing the art of relaxation
63．Which of the following statements is true？C
A．Stress is always harmful to people．

64．In Paragraph 3，"such a reaction"refers toD．
A．"responding to crises quickly"
B．"losing heart at the signs of difficulties"
C．"making a choice between'flight'or'fight'"

A．stress will surely make your health endangered
B．too much relaxation can lead to poor performance

16．Rob Coulter worked in the wild of South Africa．He knew the animals，insects，and reptiles（爬行動物）of Africa very well．Rob knew them so well that he became careless．
One night，while camping alone，Rob reached out to pick up a large piece of wood and felt something bite his arm．Rob didn't think much about it．But a little later，his arm began to ache．When he looked closely at it，he immediately saw two teeth marks in the skin of his arm．He realized that a poisonous snake had bitten him．His pulse became rapid．
