阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题

卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes

addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”

More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes

to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday.” “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing,” said business consultant Maisly Jones.

Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual

clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale(士气). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productive. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”

56. David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict” because .

A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt

河南省许昌市2010-2011学年高二上学期期末部分学校联考

B. he couldn’t stand a clean appearance

C. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time

D. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes

57. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because .

A. they make him feel at ease when working B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes

C. he looks handsome in casual clothes D. he no longer works for any company

58. According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?

A. Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.

B. Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.

C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.

D. All the employers in the US are for casual office wear.

59. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT .

A. saving employees’ money B. making employees more attractive

C. improving employees’ motivation D. making employees happier

B

Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be simple fact? Do you argue

whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit?

If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and

the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who got hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.

Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone

disagrees with you about a“simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.

To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a“simple fact”,

try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water in the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it’s hot!

60. What makes people think about simple facts differently?

A. The fact that simple facts differ from one another.

B. The fact that people have different experience in the same simple fact.

C. The fact that people often disagree with one another.

D. The fact that it’s hard to make up one’s mind about simple facts.

61. Which of the following temperatures can the word“lukewarm”be applied to?

河南省许昌市2010-2011学年高二上学期期末部分学校联考

A. Around 1℃ B. Above 60℃ C. Around 25℃ D. Below 0℃

62. After reading the last paragraph, we may think of .

A. Newton’s law B. Gallileo’s theory of falling objects

C. Einstein’s theory of relativity D. Marx’s On Capital

63. The main idea of this passage is .

A. people often judge something according to his own experience

B. people often agree about simple facts

C. it’s hard for a person to make up his mind about a simple fact

D. don’t care too much about simple facts

C

The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated(愤怒的) when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."

The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again

when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her

forgiveness.

Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her

father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each one of us, as humans beings, have been given a gold

container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family members, friends, and God. There is simply no other possession, anyone could hold, more precious than this.

64. The 3-year-old girl was punished by her father for ________.

A. wasting gold B. wasting wrapping paper

C. putting the box under the Christmas tree D. bringing the gift to her father

65. What’s inside the box according to the little girl?

A. nothing B. air C. kisses D. gold wrapping paper

66. Choose the best title for the passage.

A. The kisses in the box. B. A girl and his father

C. A love story D. The box under the Christmas tree.

D

Human needs seem endless. When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think

about an overcoat, when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats

河南省许昌市2010-2011学年高二上学期期末部分学校联考

dance into view.

The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When

there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.

The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied,

the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War Ⅱ, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.

By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late

1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared; the “life-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the need in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels

more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?

A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community

action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.

67. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when .

A. he has saved up enough money B. he has grown dissatified with his simple shelter

C. he has satisfied his hunger D. he has learned to build houses

68. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War Ⅱ, most Americans .

A. were very rich B. lived in poverty

C. had the good things on the first three levels D. did not own automobiles

69. Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction” ?

A. A successful career.

C. A good meal. B. A comfortable home. D. A family car.

70. What is the main concern of man on the fourth level?

A. The more goods the better. B. The more mental satisfaction the better.

C. The more “luxury” items the better. D. The more earnings the better.

河南省许昌市2010-2011学年高二上学期期末部分学校联考

多余选项。

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is

good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a

Chinese student, they always say,“My spoken English is poor.” 71 I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.

First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited

vocabulary. 72 However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a

positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.

73 Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn't matter. 74

The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one

mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.

Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always

remains poor. 75

A. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for

any mistakes he hears.

B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.

C. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. D. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever

you go.

E. However, their spoken English does not have to remain“poor”!

F. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.

G. The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共35分）
