The other view says outside factors, 47 distressing work environments, mostly drive workplace stress. Common 48 of stress-causing environments include non-communicative bosses, 49 isolating work, and jobs that require much effort but offer little 50 .

第三部分 阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

A

55. A. accept B. convince D. stand

It was 3: 45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. After six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates, Australia's Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The measure passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on via the group's on-line service, Death NET. Says Hofsess: We posted bulletins all day long, because of course this isn't just something that happened in Australia. It's world history.

The full import may take a while to sink in. The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of relief, others, including churches, right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia-where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part-other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia(安乐死). In the US and Canada, where the right-to-die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.

Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death-probably by a deadly injection or pill-to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as terminally ill by two doctors. After a cooling off period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. I'm not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks, he says.

56. From the second paragraph we learn that ________.

A. the objection to euthanasia is slow to come in other countries B. physicians and citizens share the same view on euthanasia

C. changing technology is chiefly responsible for the hasty passage of the law D. it takes time to realize the significance of the law's passage

57. When the author says that observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling, he means ________.

A. observers are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the future of euthanasia B. similar bills are likely to be passed in the US, Canada and other countries C. observers are waiting to see the result of the game of dominoes

D.the effect-taking process of the passed bill may finally come to a stop 58. When Lloyd Nickson dies, he will ________.

A. face his death with calm characteristic of euthanasia B. experience the suffering of a lung cancer patient C. have an intense fear of terrible suffering D. undergo a cooling off period of seven days

59. The author's attitude towards euthanasia seems to be that of ________. A. opposition B. suspicion C. approval D. indifference

B “Kill the fool!” “Murder the referee!”

These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let?s not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotations may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent” as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms. The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent” is “adversary” “enemy”; “one who opposes your interests.” Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may dominate one?s intellect, and every action, no matter how gross, may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player?s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed. “Are they wet enough now?”

In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent?s international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior.

Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated the game to the level where it belongs there by setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent” with “associate” could be an ideal way to start.

The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “colleague”; “friend”; “companion.”

Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent.”

60. Which of the following statements best expresses the author?s view? A. Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences. B. The words people use can influence their behavior.

C. Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletes.

D. Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field. 61. Harsh words are spoken during games because the players ________. A. are too eager to win

B. are usually short-tempered and easily offended C. cannot afford to be polite in fierce competition D. treat their rivals as enemies

62. What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves? A. He refused to continue the game. B. He angrily hit the referee with a ball. C. He claimed that the referee was unfair.

D. He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt.

63. The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by ________. A. appealing to players to use clean language on the court B. raising the referee?s sense of responsibility

C. changing the attitude of players on the sports field D. regulating the relationship between players and referees

C

The man with the bullhorn encouraged the runners as they made their way up the hill. “Two hours, fifteen minutes, forty seconds ...”His deep, loud voice boomed toward us. It was mile 17 of the marathon.

“Hey, great stride!” a bearded viewer yelled to me. He clapped loudly. “You?re looking strong. Keep going—go, go, go!”

You bet I?m looking strong, I thought, as I followed my younger sister, Laura. I just got started. She had been diligently clocking eight-minute miles since the race had begun downtown. Initially in the middle of a pack, which was several thousand people, she had been steadily passing other runners for the past 10 miles or so. We were now on the relatively steep rise to the St. Cecelia Bridge. Once we crossed, we would begin heading back into town, running along the east side of the Rincon River. Laura had asked me to run the most difficult section of the marathon with her. Not having trained for anything more challenging than a quick walk, and with no experience running in organized events, I figured I might be good for two or three miles.

Up ahead, steel drums were playing. A group of drummers was beating their drums, chanting, and encouraging us with their music and smiles. Crossing the bridge, I recalled the advice in the Marathon Handbook. During my preview of the route, it had seemed like a babyish thing to do. But now it seemed like a fine idea, and I spat magnificently over the side of the bridge.

“I read the handbook, too!” said a woman behind me, who also let loose over the side of the bridge. We had now started a chain reaction of bridge spitters. It was quite a sight, but I had other things to occupy my attention, namely the back of Laura?s sweater.

Easing off the bridge, and heading south on Avila Boulevard, Laura and I found our pace together again. Here we could hang to the left of the group and enjoy some brief conversation. “You keeping up okay?” she asked. Being her older brother, and therefore unable to admit weakness, I nodded convincingly.

“Hey, Lee!” yelled a waving man on the sidewalk. Immediately pleased that my marathon efforts had been recognized by someone I knew, I waved back and reflected on the importance of wearing tie-dyed clothing to a road race of this size. It made it a lot easier to be spotted!

The town marathon is a “people?s” marathon in that it tends to be a family affair, with the runners and spectators creating a festival atmosphere. I managed to run six miles before bowing out, and Laura finished the entire race in under four hours. I now pride myself on telling people that I ran in a marathon. The distinction between having run a marathon and having run in a marathon seems unimportant. If pressed, however, I?ll admit that I only ran one-fourth of one. Inspired by this year?s experience, I plan to walk the course—really fast—next year. It?s not because I?m jealous of my sister?s accomplishment. This is not some silly competition in which I must do whatever she does. Rather, Laura got free cookies at the finish line, and the promise of that will lead me to any goal.

64. Why did the author write this story? A. to explain how marathons are won B. to tell about the history of marathons

C. to tell a story about a marathon experience

D. to show how difficult running in a marathon can be 65. Why was Lee glad he wore a tie-dyed shirt? A. It helped people locate him easily. B. The shirt brought him good luck. C. It added to the festival atmosphere. D. The shirt was a favorite of Laura?s.

66. Which of the following words best describes Laura as she is presented in this passage? A. competitive B. foolish C. comical D. carefree 67. The tone of this passage is best described as _______. A. tense and anxious B. light and friendly C. matter-of-fact D. uninterested and bored

D

I was puzzled! Why was this old woman making such a complaint about our way to deal with an old bush which was of no use to anybody? She had written letters to the local paper, even to a national to protest about our projected by-pass to her village, and, looking at a map, the route was nowhere near where she lived and it wasn?t as if the area was attractive. I was more than puzzled, I was intrigued. I wanted to know what it was that motivated her. So it was that I found myself knocking on a cottage door, being received by Mary Smith and then being taken for a walk to the woods.

“I?ve always loved this place”, she said, “it has a lot of memories for me, and for others. We all used it. They called it ?Lovers lane?. It?s not much of a lane, and it doesn?t go anywhere important, but that?s why we all came here. To be away from people, to be by ourselves.” She added.

It was indeed pleasant that day and the songs of many birds could be heard. Squirrels gazed from the branches, quite bold in their movements, obviously few people passed this way and they had nothing to fear. I could imagine the noise of vehicles passing through these peaceful woods when the by-pass was built, so I felt that she probably had something there but as I hold strong opinions about the needs of the community over-riding the opinions of private individuals, I said nothing. The village was quite a distant and dangerous place because of the traffic especially for old people and children, their safety was more important to me than an old woman?s whims (怪念头).

“Take this tree”, she said pausing after a short while. “To you it is just that, a tree. Not unlike many others here”. She gently touched the bark. “Look here, under this branch, what can you see?”

“It looks as if someone has done a bit of carving with a knife” I said after a cursory (草率的) inspection.

“Yes, that?s what it is!” she said softly. “There are letters and a lover?s heart”.

I looked again, this time more carefully. The heart was still there and there was an arrow through it. The letters on one side were indistinct, but on the other an ?R? was clearly visible with what looked like an ?I? after it. “Some budding romance?” I asked, “Did you know who they were?” “Oh yes, I knew them”, said Mary Smith, “it says RH loves MS”.

After a pause, she went on … “He had a penknife and I helped him to carve my initials. We

were very much in love, but he was going away, and could not tell me what he was involved in the army. I had guessed of course. It was the last evening we ever spent together, because he went away the next day, back to his Unit.”

Mary Smith was quiet for a while, then she sobbed, “His mother showed me the telegram. ?Sergeant R Holmes ... Killed in action in the invasion of France.?”

I realized that I could be getting out of my depth, and longed to be in my office, away from here and this old lady, snug, and with a cup of tea in my hand.

There was a further pause. Mary Smith gently touched the wounded tree, just as she would have caressed him. “And now they want to take our tree away from me.” Another quiet sob, then she turned to me. “I was young and pretty then, I could have had anybody, I wasn?t always the old woman you see here now. I could have had everything I wanted in life, a lovely man, health and a future to look forwards to”.

She paused again and looked around. The breeze gently moved through the leaves with a sighing sound. “There were others, of course, but not a patch on my Robin!” she said strongly. “And now I have nothing except the memories this tree holds. If only I could get my hands on that awful man who writes in the paper about the value of the road they are going to build where we are standing now, I would tell him. Has he never loved, has he never lived, does he not know anything about memories? We were not the only ones, you know, I still meet some who came here as Robin and I did. Yes, I would tell him!” I turned away, sick at heart.

68. Why was the by-pass to Mary Smith?s village to be built through these woods? A. The community wanted to explore the beauty of the woods as a way of tourism. B. Many people passed these woods causing heavy traffic jam.

C. The traffic was inconvenient making the village a dangerous place to live in. D. The village was quite far away and its economy needed improving.

69. The underlined sentence “I felt that she probably had something there” means ________. A. I thought there might be something hidden in the woods by Mary Smith B. I guessed there might be a story related with Mary Smith

C. I thought there might be some reason for Mary Smith?s protest D. I guessed there might be a secret purpose of Mary Smith. 70. The main purpose of this passage is to ________. A. draw attention to the damage that wars cause B. persuade people to give up private interest

C. arouse the awareness of being environmentally friendly D. introduce a touching but sad love story

Observational Learning: To See Is to Know

A group of psychologists, led by Albert Bandura, developed social learning theory, which emphasizes the fact that much learning occurs in a social context. This kind of learning, which results simply from observing and imitating the behavior of others, is called observational learning. Observational learning helps people acquire proper behavior in their families and cultures. By watching others, we learn how to greet people, eat, laugh and tell jokes. Do you still remember your first few days in senior grade one? By watching others, you learned how people talked to each other, what clothes were “fashionable,” and how to interact with instructors.

With modeling, you observe others? behavior, and then none, some, or all of the behavior may be learned and repeated, or modified. In one of Bandura?s classic studies, children were divided into three groups: One group watched an adult beating up a Bobo doll, one group watched an adult ignoring the Bobo doll, and the third didn?t see an adult at all. After being mildly frustrated by being placed in a room with toys, but not being allowed to play with some of them, all of the children were then placed in another room with a variety of toys, including a Bobo doll. Children in the first group tended to imitate what they had seen, mistreating the doll (and inventing new ways to abuse it).

Researchers have discovered that several characteristics of models can make learning through observation more effective. Not surprisingly, the more you pay attention to the model, the more you learn. You are more likely to pay attention if the model is an expert, is good looking, has high status, or is socially powerful. Second, by watching others, we learn about what behavior is appropriate for people like ourselves, so models who are seen as similar are more readily imitated. All students need to see successful, capable models who look and sound like them.

Then, as teachers, how can you apply observational learning? Here are a few guidelines. Above all, model the behavior and attitudes you desire your students to learn. For example, show enthusiasm for the subject you teach. Be willing to demonstrate both the mental and the physical tasks you expect the students to perform. Second, use peers, especially class leaders, as models. For example, in group work, pair students who do well with those who are having difficulties. Third, you may seek the help of class leaders in modeling behavior. Examples include letting high-status students lead an activity when you need class cooperation or when students are likely to be reluctant at first. Observational Learning: To See Is to Know (71)__________ Observational learning is learning that occurs through (72) ________ and application of and imitation of others. observational Observational learning helps people learn how to behave (73) _______ learning in their families and cultures.

One possible version:

Three college students from the Yangtze University,who lost their lives in order to rescue two drowning children,were honored as heroes in many ways. Their behavior drew public attention and wide discussion.

As to me,I will help the people in trouble without hesitation. Just as the saying goes,life is difficult. Everyone may face difficulties that they cannot overcome by themselves,so an instant help is important. Moreover,if you often try your best to help others,you will be helped when in trouble in return.

However,I will first consider my own safety before I can rescue someone in danger because it is not worthwhile to lose one more life in case I fail. Therefore,if I had been on the spot,I would have jumped into the river to rescue the children on condition that I could swim. If not,I would have first called the police and then persuaded people on the boat and the swimmers nearby to help.
