the board of A，was born in Albuquerque，New Mexico.His mother's ancestors were early settlers in Texas，and over the generations had acquired a 25,000acre farm at Cotulla.Jeffrey spent most summers of his youth working with his grandfather on their farm.Jeffrey showed intense and varied scientific interests at an early age.He set up an electric alarm to keep his younger sisters and brothers out of his room and changed his parents' garage into a laboratory for his science projects.After he graduated from Princeton University with a degree in computer science and electrical engineering，Jeffrey Bezos found employment on Wall Street，where computer science was increasingly in demand to study market trends.He rose quickly，becoming a senior vice president，and looked forward to a bright career in finance，when he made a discovery that changed his life，and the course of business history.In 1994，there was still no Internet commerce to speak of.One day that spring，Jeffrey Bezos observed that Internet usage was increasing by 2,300 percent a year.He saw an opportunity for a new circle of commerce，and immediately began considering the possibilities.Bezos founded A in 1994，setting up the original company in his garage.The company was called Amazon for the seemingly endless South American river with its numberless branches.It started as an online bookstore but soon diversified(多樣化)to all kinds of products.His work with Amazon eventually led him to become one of the most excellent dot­com entrepreneurs(企業(yè)家)He was named Time magazine's Person of the Year in 1999.In 2008，he was selected by US.News &World Report as one of America's Best Leaders.Bezos' Amazon has become“the Earth's biggest anything store”A is now called“one of the smartest strategies in business history”Today，Jeffrey Bezos lives north of Seattle and is increasingly concerned with charity(慈善)activities.“Giving away money takes as much attention as building a successful company，”he has said.【語篇解讀】 本文介紹的是Amazon公司創(chuàng)始人Jeffrey Bezos的傳奇人生。36In his childhood，Bezos_.Ahad to work with parents on their farm all day longBshowed great interest in scienceCdidn't get along well with his brothers and sistersDwanted to become a businessman解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句中的內(nèi)容可知他在很小的時候就對科學(xué)表現(xiàn)出了濃厚的興趣。答案B37Jeffrey changed the course of business history because he_.Arose quickly，looking forward to a bright career in finance on Wall StreetBobserved the Internet usage was increasing by 2,300% a yearCfounded a new form of commerce that developed fast laterDwas the first to speak of Internet commerce解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第三段提到他的發(fā)現(xiàn)改變了他的人生，也改變了商業(yè)歷史的進(jìn)程，下文提到他注意到了因特網(wǎng)商業(yè)的巨大商機(jī)并創(chuàng)辦了Amazon公司，由此可知原因是他后來創(chuàng)建了一種快速發(fā)展的新型商業(yè)模式。答案C38Bezos named his company Amazon with the aim of _.Aopening numberless branches all over the worldBliving a quiet life along the Amazon RiverCearning endless money and being wealthyDwishing his company to run smoothly and endlessly解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第二句中的內(nèi)容可推測他以Amazon命名自己的公司是希望公司能夠順利而且永無止境地運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)。答案D39Which of the following ISN'T mentioned in the passage?AHow hard Bezos studied physics in Princeton University.B“A”only sold books in the beginning.CBezos not only devoted his life to Internet commerce but also to charity.DThe reason why Jeffrey Bezos decided to found A.解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第三段前半部分可知他從普林斯頓大學(xué)畢業(yè)，但文中并沒有提到他在普林斯頓大學(xué)攻讀物理的刻苦程度。答案ABThere are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence.The first is the sort of brain he is born with.Human brains differ considerably，some being more capable than others.But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with，an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn.So the second factor is what happens to the individualthe sort of environment in which he is reared.If an individual is handicapped environmentally，it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins，Peter and Mark XBeing identical，the twins had identical brains at birth，and their growth processes were the same.When the twins were three months old，their parents died，and they were placed in separate foster homes.Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities.Mark was reared in the home of well­to­do parents who had been to college.He was read to as a child，sent to good schools，and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens，when they were given tests to measure their intelligence.Mark's IQ.was 125，twenty­five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother.Given equal opportunities，the twins，having identical brains，would have tested at roughly the same level.40This selection can best be titled_.AMeasuring Your IntelligenceBIntelligence and EnvironmentCThe Case of Peter and MarkDHow the Brain Influences Intelligence解析主旨大意題。本文主要討論了智商與環(huán)境之間的關(guān)系，并以一對失去父母的雙胞胎兄弟的實(shí)例加以證明。答案B41The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that_.Ahuman brains differ considerablyBthe brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligenceCenvironment is vital to determine a person's intelligenceDpersons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence解析推理判斷題。雖然人的智商是由兩個因素決定的。但是本文用大幅篇章說明了環(huán)境的重要性：好的學(xué)習(xí)、教育環(huán)境對于一個人的智商發(fā)展來說是必不可少的，并以一對失去父母的雙胞胎兄弟的實(shí)例加以證明。答案C42According to the passage，the average IQ.is_.A85 B100 C110 D125解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第二句“Mark's IQ.was 125，twenty­five points higher than the average”可知選B。答案BC“Small talk”includes topics，such as sports，weather，jobs，or past experiences.Most people do not talk about religion，politics，or personal feelings with strangers.People do not usually talk about the personal lives of their conversation partners.This emotional distance does not mean people dislike you，but personal lives are discussed only with close friends and family.There are few“ritualistic”exchanges in English，but you should know that“How are you？”and“How's it going？”are greetings，not questions about your life.“See you later.”or“See you soon.”are ways of saying good­bye，not appointments.People in the US are curious.They will ask you a lot of questions.Some of their questions may appear ridiculous，uninformed(無知的)and elementary，but try to be patient in answering them.You may be the first person from your country whom they have met，and they will have very little understanding of your life.Most people are sincerely interested in learning about you.Many people believe in the“scientific method”of understanding the world，so they look for facts and evidence when you tell them something new.This may seem odd to students whose cultures emphasize feelings or emotions，but people are not rude if they say，“Show me”or“Prove it”Loud conversations usually mean people are angry.Most conversations are moderate in volume with few gestures.Do not speak too loudly or too quietly，and keep your hands under control.When you have communication difficulties，you may think it is because of spoken or written language.However，many misunderstandings happen because of non­verbal communication，or body language.【語篇解讀】 本文是說明文。文章介紹跟美國人交談時應(yīng)該注意的問題，即美國人的交談習(xí)俗。43What would be the best title for the passage?AMaking Conversations in the USBWhat Is“Small talk”？CMake Yourself at Home in the USDUnderstanding American Cultures解析主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，本文介紹跟美國人交談時應(yīng)該注意的問題，也就是美國人的交談習(xí)俗。B項(xiàng)僅是文章的細(xì)節(jié)；C項(xiàng)偏離了文章的中心；D項(xiàng)概念過大。答案A44Which of the following would be an open topic of American conversations?AWhat one feels about his new colleague.BThe war in Iraq.CStory of a sports star.DOne's income.解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)常識可排除D項(xiàng)，美國人的談話一般不涉及個人隱私的問題，如年齡、婚姻、收入等。從第一段可知，人們閑談的話題其中包括體育方面的內(nèi)容，而政治、宗教以及個人感情則不是公開談?wù)摰脑掝}。答案C45What should you do if Americans say，“Show me”or“Prove it”？AExplain to them that your cultures emphasize feelings or emotions.BTry to give them as many facts as possible.CTell them you don't understand the“scientific method”DIgnore their questions and change to another topic.解析推理判斷題。從文章倒數(shù)第二段可知，美國人注重事實(shí)和證據(jù)，因此，你應(yīng)該給他們提供一些例子以便他們更好地理解你的觀點(diǎn)。答案B46From the last paragraph we can learn that_.Amost communication difficulties are caused by spoken or written languageBAmericans are usually modest during a conversationCAmericans use a lot of gestures during an conversationDyou shouldn't use many gestures when talking to an American解析推理判斷題。從文章最后一段可知，美國人在談話中很少使用手勢，而且作者還建議你也要控制住自己的手，因此推斷，在跟美國人交談時不要過多地使用手勢。答案DDThe Leaning Tower of Pisa has gone against the laws of gravity for seven and a half centuries.Every year，on June 19th，a professor from the University of Pisa climbs to the bell tower and measures the increase in the slant(傾斜) with special instruments.And every year the professor makes the same report：the tower has learned a bitabout an inch more.Last summer(the year of 2004)，the 125­foot­high tower was leaning an incredible 15 feet out of line.Scientists say that unless a way is found to stop the slant，the tower will collapse in less than 80 years.The tower is leaning because the soft soil of Pisa will not support it.Its foundation is sinking into the soil at an angle，causing the tower to lean.Since a slight shake could make the foundation loose，the ringing of the tower's bells was forbidden in 1959.And trucks are not allowed to pass in the neighborhood of the tower for this same reason.47This passage is mainly about _.Aa famous tower that leans Ba plan for saving the towerCthe history of the Tower Dthe cause of the tower's slant解析主旨大意題。文章主要介紹塔的一些情況，而不是關(guān)于a plan for saving the tower，更不是單純說明the cause of the tower's slant。答案A48This summer the tower may be found to be in the slant by _ according to the passage.Amore than one inch Bexactly one inchCmore than fifteen feet Dexactly fifteen feet解析推理判斷題。見第一段第三句、第四句“And every year.about an inch more”，“Last summer.15 feet out of line”可斷定“this summer.of.more than fifteen feet”。答案C49Truck traffic has been forbidden in the neighborhood of the tower _.Ato protect all the visitorsBto prevent the bell in the towerCto protect the foundationDto keep the soil at the tower解析推理判斷題。見第二段最后兩句。答案C50According to the way it is written，this passage is more like _.Aa funny history story Ba serious tour advertisementCan exciting announcement Da common science report解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)全文可知D為最佳答案。答案DEA different sort of generation gap is developing in the workplace.Someonespecifically the father­daughter team of Larry and Meagan Johnsonhas figured out that on some American job sites，five generations are working side by side.In their new book about generations in the workplace the pair argue that while such an age difference adds a lot of texture and a variety of life experiences，it can also bring tensions and conflicts.The Johnsons are human­resource trainers and public speakers.Dad Larry is a former health­care executive；daughter Meagan is a onetime high­level sales manager.Here are the oldest and youngest of the five generations they identify：They call the oldest group Traditionals，born before 1945.They were heavily influenced by the lessons of the Great Depression and World War .They respect authority, set a high standard of workmanship，and communicate easily and confidently.But they're also stubbornly independent.They want their opinions heard.At the other extreme are what the Johnsons call Linksters，born after 1995 into today's more complicated，multimedia world.They live and breathe technology and are often social activists.You won't find many 15­year olds in the offices of large companies，except as volunteers，of course，but quite old and quite young workers do come together in sales environments like bike shops and ice cream stores.The Johnsons，Larry and Meagan，represent a generation gap themselves in their work with jobsite issues.The Johnsons' point is that as the average lifespan continues to rise and retirement dates get delayed because of the tight economy，people of different generations are working side by side，more often bringing with them very different ideas about company loyalty and work values.The five generations are heavily influenced by quite different events，social trends，and the cultural phenomena of their times.Their experiences shape their behavior and make it difficult，sometimes，for managers to achieve a strong and efficient workplace.Larry and Meagan Johnson discuss all this in greater detail in a new book，“Generations，Inc.：From Boomers to LinkstersManaging the Friction Between Generations at Work.”published by Amacom Press，which is available in all good bookstores from this Friday.【語篇解讀】 本文通過介紹一對父女出版的新書向我們解釋了現(xiàn)代社會出現(xiàn)的一種新現(xiàn)象：不同的幾代人可能在同一個公司上班，而他們之間的這種“代溝”導(dǎo)致了他們在工作時觀點(diǎn)不一51The type of generation gap in Paragraph 1 refers to the difference in beliefs_.Abetween managers and workersBamong family membersCamong employeesDbetween older and newer companies解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段第一句話中的in the workplace和該段最后一句話中的five generations are working side by side，可知文章中討論的generation gap是有關(guān)在同一公司上班的員工之間的不同觀念。因此C項(xiàng)正確。答案C52Which o
