Questionsare based on the following passage. It"s nice to have people of like mind around.

Questionsare based on the following passage.

It"s nice to have people of like mind around.Agreeable people boost your confidence and allow you to relax and feel comfortable.Unfortunately, that comfort can hinder the very learning that can expandyour company and your career.

It"s nice to have people agree, but you need conflicting perspectives to dig out the truth.If everyone around you has similar views, your work will suffer from confirmation bias (偏颇).

Take a look at your own network.Do your contacts share your point of view on most subjects? If yes, it"s time to shake things up.As a leader, it can be challenging to create an environment in which people will freely disagree and argue, but as the saying goes: From confrontation comes brilliance.

It"s not easy for most people to actively seek conflict.Many spend their lives trying to avoidarguments.There"s no need to go out and find people you hate, but you need to do some self-assessment to determine where you have become stale in your thinking.You may need to start by encouraging your current network to help you identify your blind spots.

Passionate, energetic debate does not require anger and hard feelings to be effective.But it do esrequire moral strength.Once you have worthy opponents, set some ground rules so everyone understands responsibilities and boundaries.The objective of this debating game is not to win but to get to the truth that will allow you to move faster, farther, and better.

Fierce debating can hurt feelings, particularly when strong personalities are involved.Make sure you check in with your opponents so that they are not carrying the emotion of the battles beyond thebattlefield.Break the tension with smiles and humor to reinforce the idea that this is friendly discourse and that all are working toward a common goal.

Reward all those involved in the debate sufficiently when the goals are reached.Let your sparring partners (拳击陪练) know how much you appreciate their contribution.The more they feel appreciated, the more they"ll be willing to get into the ring next time.

What happens when you have like-minded people around you all the while? 查看材料

A.It will help your company expand more rapidly.

B.It will create a harmonious working atmosphere.

C.It may prevent your business and career from advancing.

D.It may make you feel uncertain about your own decisions.

Questionsare based on the following passage.

In London, over half of the homes built between 1919 and 1980 had one garage.But many arebecoming needless.Between 2002 and 2012 the proportion of vehicles kept in garages at night droppedfrom 22% to 14%.This is in part because some households now have more cars than garage space.Butit is also because big modern cars do not fit in older garages, says David Leibling, a transport expert.

Few rust when left outside, and many are more difficult to steal: between 2003 and 2013 the number ofvehicle being stolen in England and Wales fell 76%.Instead, garages now solve a different set ofproblems.

Householders unable to move to larger homes have taken to filling their garages with unnecessaryand unwanted things.Some garages have been converted for aging parents for their convenience, says Paul Bishop, who runs a garage conversion company in Bedfordshire.Also, some young people unableor unwilling to leave home may have an option to live in the garage.In addition, a garage may be rentedto young folks fond of music.It is, more often than not, an ideal place to freely play music.

However, many publicly owned garages lie empty.Of the 6,000 garages owned by Hackney

council, around 40% are free.Over 3,000 garages owned by ten housing associations are unused and the land they take up is unfit for building homes upon, says Steve O"Connell, a councilor at the London Assembly.He thinks they could be turned into small offices.That has already happened in places such as Berlin.

Nevertheless converting garages can be troublesome, says Bill Hodgson of University College London.Few councils are enthusiastic enough to truly support the idea and put it into practice.A recent proposal to turn some garages in north London into shelters for the homeless has been rejected; councillors feared that local residents would not approve.Getting planning permission can be complex,

and developing on local authority land is often faced with various kinds of problems.Like the garages themselves, these plans may be useless and abandoned.

In the viewpoint of David Leibling, many garages are unused for velficles in that__________. 查看材料

A.the number of vehicles in the garages being stolen decreases by 76%

B.big modern vehicles are covered with rust when placed in the garages

C.big modem vehicles do not suit older garages

D.some families have more garages than vehicles

Questionsare based on the following passage: Hillary Rodham Clinton released the first t

Questionsare based on the following passage:

Hillary Rodham Clinton released the first television spot of her Senate campaign this morn-ing, a 30-minute commercial that will begin airing statewide on Thursday. The spot, titled"First", uses numerous still photos to highlight landmarks in Mrs. Clinton' s career, while the voiceover says she is "more than a first lady. "

There is no mention of Mrs. Clinton' s rival for New York' s Senate seat, New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.

Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson said the ad was "positive" and "biographi-cal", instead of focusing on the first lady' s opponent.

Mrs. Clinton has previously aired radio ads, but has generally stayed with a strategy of mak-ing extensive campaign appearances instead of using television spots, while Giuliani has already run statewide TV ads.

Text of Hillary Commercial:

First she became a lawyer, named one of the top hundred in America.

Her first cause was children, fighting abuse and chairing the board of the Children' s Defense Fund.

(76) Her first priority was public schools, helping to establish teacher testing. More than a first lady. For 30 years, she' s fought for children and families.

As New York' s senator, she' II fight for better schools and heath care for children.

Hillary. Put her to work for all of us.

What does the word "air" in the first sentence mean? 查看材料

Questionsare based on the following passage.

When you think about the growth of human population over the last century or so, it is alltoo easy to imagine it merely as an increase in the number of humans. But as we(36), so doall the things associated with us,(37)our livestock (家畜). At present, there are about 1.5 bil-lion cattle and domestic buffalo and about 1.7 billion sheep and goats. With pigs and poultry,they form. a(38)part of our enormous biological footprint upon this planet.

Just how enormous was not really apparent until the(39)of a new report, called "Live-stock"s Long Shadow," by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations.

Consider these numbers. Global livestock grazing (放牧) and feed production use "30percent of the land surface of the planet." Livestock —— which consume more food thanthey(40)—— also compete directly with humans for water. And the drive to expand grazingland destroys more biologically sensitive terrain, rain forests(41), than anything else.

But what is even more striking, and alarming, is that livestock are(42)for about 18 per-cent of the global warming effect, more than transportation"s(43). The culprits (罪魁祸首)are methane —— the natural result of bovine digestion —— and the nitrogen emitted by manure.

Deforestation of grazing land adds to the effect.

There are no easy trade-offs when it comes to global warming —— such as cutting back oncattle to make room for cars. The human(44)for meat is certainly not about to end anytimesoon. As "Livestock"s Long Shadow" makes clear, our health and the health of the planet de-pend on pushing livestock production in more(45)directions.

A.publication

Questionsare based on the following passage:Suicide has been a cause of concern in most so

Questionsare based on the following passage:

Suicide has been a cause of concern in most societies for a long time. The classical Greeks,for example, required people who wanted to kill themselves to get permission from the senate.

While this law is not without humor by today' s standards, it clearly shows an awareness of the problem in times gone by. In today' s society, suicide is much more prevalent than we want to admit. Why do people try to take their own lives?

(80) The motives for suicide can be categorized into areas such as a failure, wrath (暴怒),the need for attention,stress, and so on. However, the qualities of a person who wants to take his own life change from person to person, making it difficult to depict (描写) the typical vic-tim. To make the problem even more confusing, people will often camouflage (掩盖) their true feelings, thus causing their friends to disregard problems that should be viewed as serious.

In the United States, a network of centers has been created to attempt to prevent suicides.People who are bitter, worried, or depressed are encouraged to contact workers at these centers.These workers, often trained volunteers, offer benevolent advice to the callers, trying to help the callers to see that suicide as a solutions to problems is an illusion. The accomplishments of these centers, insofar(到这个程度 ) as their effectiveness to reduce suicide is concerned, are minimal.

However, they have helped a lot of people with a wide variety of problems. So, in the somewhat amorphous (难以名状的) area of man helping his fellow man, they are certainly a success.

Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article? 查看材料

A.The classical Greeks did not know the existence of suicide.

B.Suicide has always been prevalent in all parts of the world.

C.In today" s society, there are quite a number of people who commit suicide.

D.Nowadays suicide is not as common as it was in the past.

Questionsare based on the following passage. A very important world problem is the increa

Questionsare based on the following passage.

A very important world problem is the increasing number of people who actually inhab-it this planet. The limited amount of land and land resources will soon be unable to supportthe huge population if it continues to grow at its present rate.

So why is this huge increase in population taking place? It is really due to the spread ofthe knowledge and practice of what is becoming known as "Death Control". You have nodoubt heard of the term "Birth Control". "Death Control" is something rather different. Itrecognises the work of the doctors and scientists who now keep alive people who, not verylong ago, would have died of a variety of then incurable diseases. Through a wide variety oftechnological innovations that include farming methods and the control of deadly diseases,we have found ways to reduce the rate at which we die. However, this success is the verycause of the greatest threat to mankind.

If we examine the amount of land available for this ever-increasing population, we be-gin to see the problem. If everyone on the planet had an equal share of land, we would eachhave about 50,000 square metres. This figure seems to be quite encouraging until we exam-ine the amount of usable land we actually have. More than three-fifths of the world"s landcannot produce food.

Obviously, with so little land to support us, we should be taking great care not to reduceit further. But we are not! Instead, we are consuming its "capital" —— its nonrenewable fos-sil fuels and other mineral deposits that took millions of years to form. but which are nowbeing destroyed in decades. We are also doing the same with other vital resources not usu-ally thought of as being nonrenewable such as fertile soils, groundwater and the millions ofother species that share the earth with us.

It is a very common belief that the problems of the population explosion are causedmainly by poor people living in poor countries who do not know enough to limit theirreproduction. This is not true. The actual number of people in an area is not as important asthe effect they have on nature. Developing countries do have an effect on their environment,but it is the populations of richer countries that have a far greater impact on the earth asa whole.

According to the passage, what contributes to the population increase? 查看材料

A.Human beings" ignorance.

B.The failure of"Birth Control".

C.The success of"Death Control".

D.Technological innovations.

Questionsare based on the following passage. Could you reproduce Silicon Valley elsewhere,

Questionsare based on the following passage.

Could you reproduce Silicon Valley elsewhere, or is there something unique about it?

It wouldn"t be surprising if it were hard to reproduce in other countries, because you couldn"treproduce it in most of the US either.What does it take to make a Silicon Valley?

It"s the right people.If you could get the right ten thousand people to move from Silicon Valley to Buffalo, Buffalo would become Silicon Valley.

You only need two kinds of people to create a technology hub (中心) : rich people and nerds (痴迷科研的人).

Observation bears this out.Within the US, towns have become star,up hubs if and only if they have both rich people and nerds.Few startups happen in Miami, for example, because although it"s full of rich people, it has few nerds.It"s not the kind of place nerds like.

Whereas Pittsburgh has the opposite problem: plenty of nerds, but no rich people.The top US Computer Science departments are said to be MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, and Carnegie-Mellon.MITyielded Route 128.Stanford and Berkeley yielded Silicon Valley.But what did Carnegie-Mellon yield in Pittsburgh? And what happened in Ithaca, home of Cornell University, which is also high on the list?

I grew up in Pittsburgh and went to college at Cornell, so I can answer for both.The weather is terrible, particularly in winter, and there"s no interesting old city to make up for it, as there is inBoston.Rich people don"t want to live in Pittsburgh or Ithaca.So while there"re plenty of hackers (电脑迷) who could start startups, there"s no one to invest in them

Do you really need the rich people? Wouldn"t it work to have the government invest in the nerds?

No, it would not.Startup investors are a distinct type of rich people.They tend to have a lot of experience themselves in the technology business.This helps them pick the right startups, and means they can supply advice and connections as well as money.And the fact that they have a personal stake in the outcome makes them really pay attention.

What do we learn about Silicon Valley from the passage? 查看材料

A.Its success is hard to copy anywhere else.

B.It is the biggest technology hub in the US.

C.Its fame in high technology is incomparable.

D.It leads the world in information technology.

Questionsare based on the following passage.

Never before has so much money been made by a single firm in such a short period of time.OnJanuary 27th Tim Cook, the boss of Apple, announced that it had made $18 billion in its latest financialquarter.Apple"s telephone-number-sized profit stemmed largely from sales of its hugely popular iPhone, which accounted for over two-thirds of its $ 74.6 billion revenue.Chief executives rarely admit to being shocked by their companies" performance, but Mr.Cook said it was "hard to comprehend" the extent of the interest in Apple"s products.He noted that, on average,34,000 iPhones were bought every hour of every day during the latest quarter.

Apple is the world"s largest company by market capitalisation (总值) as well as its most profitable.Strikingly, it has risen to greatness using a rather old-Fashioned business model: sellinghighly desirable objects at fat gross margins, which hit almost 40% in the latest quarter.The tech

industry has bred numerous software-based finns, such as Google and Facebook, that don"t have to worry about shifting goods around, yet they make much less than the Colossus of Cupertino.Amazon handles lots of physical goods, but loses money.

Another thing that sets Apple apart from the tech pack is its success in conquering China.Whilerivals have been frustrated there, Apple has just become the largest force in China"s smartphone market measured by units shipped, according to Canalys, a market-research firm.Any failure in China could hurt Apple.The company"s overall dependence on the iPhone is anotherrisk.But these are early days for the iPhone 6, Apple"s latest device, whose bigger screen takes the firminto the "phablet" (平板手机) category of larger phones that are wildly popular with customers.Some

iFans also point out that Apple"s share of the smartphone market is small compared with devices using Google"s Android operating system.So it has plenty of room to grow.Mr.Cook said this week that its much-anticipated smartwatch will go on sale in April.Tim Bajarin of Creative Strategies, a consulting ftrm, thinks Apple could sell 22m -24m in the first 12 months after

the launch, producing billions of dollars of new revenue.Sanford C.Bernstein, a research firm, reckons the watches will have a higher-than-average gross margin, which predicts good profits.Apple should be able to make more money from software and services, too.

A large part of Apple‘s fat profit comes from__________. 查看材料

A.the sales of its smartwatch

B.the sales of its software

C.the sales of its service

D.the sales of its iPhone

Questionsare based on the following passage.

One hundred years ago, "Colored" was the typical way of referring to Americans of African descent.Twenty years later, it was purposefully dropped to make way for "Negro." By the late 1960s,that term was overtaken by "Black." And then, at a press conference in Chicago in 1988, Jesse Jackson declared that "African American" was the term to embrace.This one was chosen because it echoed the labels of groups, such as "Italian Americans" and "Irish Americans," that had already been

freed of widespread discrimination.

A century"s worth of calculated name changes point to the fact that naming any group is a politically freighted exercise.A 2001 study cataloged all the ways in which the term "Black" carried connotations (涵义) that were more negative than those of "African American."

But if it was known that "Black" people were viewed differently from "African Americans,"researchers, until now, hadn"t identified what that gap in perception was derived from.A recent study, conducted by Emory University"s Erika Hall, found that "Black" people are viewed more negatively.than "African Americans" because of a perceived difference in socioeconomic status.As a result,"Black" people are thought of as less competent and as having colder personalities.

The study"s most striking findings shed light on the racial biases permeating the professional world.Even seemingly harmless details on a resume, it appears, can tap into recruiters" biases.A job application might mention affiliations with groups such as the "Wisconsin Association of African-American Lawyers" or the "National Black Employees Association," the names of which apparently have consequences, and are also beyond their members" control.

In one of the study"s experiments, subjects were given a brief description of a man from Chicago with the last name Williams.To one group, he was identified as "African-American," and another was told he was "Black." With little else to go on, they were asked to estimate Mr.Williams"s salary,professional standing, and educational background.

The "African-American" group estimated that he earned about $ 37,000 a year and had a two-year college degree.The "Black" group, on the other hand, put his salary at about $ 29,000, and guessed that he had only "some" college experience.Nearly three-quarters of the first group guessed that Mr.Williams worked at a managerial level, while only 38.5 percent of the second group thought so.

Hall"s findings suggest there"s an argument to be made for electing to use "African American,"though one can"t help but get the sense that it"s a decision that papers over the urgency of continued progress.Perhaps a new phrase is needed, one that can bring everyone one big step closer to realizing Du Bois"s original, idealistic hope: "It"s not the name-it"s the Thing that counts."

Why did Jesse Jackson embrace the term "African American" for people of African descent? 查看材料

A.It is free from racial biases.

B.It represents social progress.

C.It is in the interest of common Americans.

D.It follows the standard naming practice.
