1、精選優(yōu)質(zhì)文檔-傾情為你奉上深度閱讀練習(xí)題練習(xí)6. 2012年12月第一套Passage One Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.As you are probably aware, the latest job markets news isnt good: Unemployment is still more than 9 percent, and new job growth has fallen close to zero. Thats bad for the economy, of course. And it
2、 may be especially discouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careers right now. But it actually shouldnt matter to you nearly as much as you think.Thats because job growth numbers dont matter to job hunters as much as job turnover (人員更替) data. After all, existing jobs op
3、en up every day due to promotions, resignations, terminations(解雇), and retirements. (Yes, people are retiring even in this economy.) In both good times and bad, turnover creates more openings than economic growth does. Even in June of 2007, when the economy was still moving ahead, job growth was onl
4、y 132,000, while turnover was 4.7 million!And as it turns out, even today with job growth near zero over 4 million job hunters are being hired every month.I dont mean to imply that overall job growth doesnt have an impact on ones ability to land a job. Its true that if total employment were higher,
5、it would mean more jobs for all of us to choose from (and compete for). And its true that there are currently more people applying for each available job opening, regardless of whether its a new one or not.But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who dont is their ability to stay
6、motivated. Theyre willing to do the hard work of identifying their valuable skills; be creative about where and how to look; learn how to present themselves to potential employers; and keep going, even after repeated rejections. The Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that 2.7 million people who w
7、anted and were available for work hadnt looked within the last four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed.So dont let the headlines fool you into giving up. Four million people get hired every month in the U.S. You can be one of them.57. The author tends to believe that high unemplo
8、yment rate _.A) deprives many people of job opportunitiesB) prevents many people from changing careersC) should not stop people from looking for a jobD) does not mean the U.S. economy is worsening58. Where do most job openings come from?A) Job growth.C) Improved economy.B) Job turnover.D) Business e
9、xpansion.59. What does the author say about overall job growth?A) It doesnt have much effect on individual job seekers.B) It increases peoples confidence in the economy.C) It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed.D) It doesnt mean greater job security for the employed.60. What is the key to landing
10、a job according to the author?A) Education.B) Intelligence.C) Persistence.D) Experience.61. What do we learn from the passage about the unemployment figures in the U.S.?A) They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is.B) They provide the public with the latest information.C) They warn of the stru
11、ctural problems in the economy.D) They exclude those who have stopped looking for a job.練習(xí)7. 2013年6月第二套Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage. Junk food is everywhere. We're eating way too much of it. Most of us know what we're doing and yet we do it anyway.So here&
12、#39;s a suggestion offered by two researchers at the Rand Corporation: Why not take a lesson from alcohol control policies and apply them to where food is sold and how it's displayed?"Many policy measures to control obesity (肥胖癥) assume that people consciously and rationally choose what and
13、 how much they eat and therefore focus on providing information and more access to healthier foods," note the two researchers."In contrast," the researchers continue, "many regulations that don't assume people make rational choices have been successfully applied to control al
14、cohol, a substance like food of which immoderate consumption leads to serious health problems."The research references studies of people's behaviour with food and alcohol and results of alcohol restrictions, and then lists five regulations that the researchers think might be promising if ap
15、plied to junk foods. Among them:Density restrictions: licenses to sell alcohol aren't handed out unplanned to all comers but are allotted (分配) based on the number of places in an area that already sell alcohol. These make alcohol less easy to get and reduce the number of psychological cues to dr
16、ink.Similarly, the researchers say, being presented with junk food stimulates our desire to eat it. So why not limit the density of food outlets, particularly ones that sell food rich in empty calories? And why not limit sale of food in places that aren't primarily food stores?Display and sales
17、restrictions: California has a rule prohibiting alcohol displays near the cash registers in gas stations, and in most places you can't buy alcohol at drive-through facilities. At supermarkets, food companies pay to have their wares in places where they're easily seen. One could remove junk f
18、ood to the back of the store and ban them from the shelves at checkout lines. The other measures include restricting portion sizes, taxing and prohibiting special price deals for junk foods, and placing warning labels on the products.56. What does the author say about junk food?A) People should be e
19、ducated not to eat too much.B) It is widely consumed despite its ill reputation.C) Its temptation is too strong for people to resist.D) It causes more harm than is generally realised.57.What do the Rand researchers think of many of the policy measures to control obesity?A) They should be implemented
20、 effectively. B) They provide misleading information.C) They are based on wrong assumptions.D) They help people make rational choices. 58. Why do policymakers of alcohol control place density restrictions?A) Few people are able to resist alcohol's temptations.B) There are already too many stores
21、 selling alcohol.C) Drinking strong alcohol can cause social problems.D) Easy access leads to customers' over-consumption.59. What is the purpose of California's rule about alcohol display in gas stations?A) To effectively limit the density of alcohol outlets.B) To help drivers to give up th
22、e habit of drinking.C) To prevent possible traffic jams in nearby areas.D) To get alcohol out of drivers' immediate sight.60.What is the general guideline the Rand researchers suggest about junk food control?A) Guiding people to make rational choices about food.B) Enhancing people's awarenes
23、s of their own health.C) Borrowing ideas from alcohol control measures.D) Resorting to economic, legal and psychological means.練習(xí)8. 2013年12月第二套Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage. In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are
24、 influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception of the food in front of us.Studies have shown, for instance, that eating in front of the TV (or a similar distraction) can increase both hunger and the amount of food
25、consumed. Even simple visual cues, like plate size and lighting, have been shown to affect portion size and consumption.A new study suggested that our short-term memory also may play a role in appetite. Several hours after a meal, peoples hunger levels were predicted not by how much theyd eaten but
26、rather by how much food theyd seen in front of them in other words, how much they remembered eating.This disparity (差異)suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brunstrom, a professor of experimental psychol
27、ogy at the University of Bristol.“Hunger isnt controlled solely by the physical characteristics of a recent meal. We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal, Brunstrom says. “This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought.”These f
28、indings echo earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our bodys response to the food itself. In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380-calorie (卡路里)milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger- related hormones (荷爾蒙),depe
29、nding on whether the shakes label said it contained 620 or 140 calories. Moreover, the participants reported feeling more full when they thought theyd consumed a higher-calorie shake.What does this mean for our eating habits? Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eating less, th
30、e new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food and avoiding TV and multitasking while eating.The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says.56. What is said to be a factor affecting our appetite and food intake?A) How
31、 we perceive the food we eat.C) When we eat our meals.B) What ingredients the food contains.D) How fast we eat our meals.57. What would happen at meal time if you remembered eating a lot in the previous meal?A)You would probably be more picky about food.B)You would not feel like eating the same food
32、.C) You would have a good appetite.D) You would not feel so hungry.58. What do we learn from the 2011 study?A) Food labels may mislead consumers in their purchases.B) Food labels may influence our bodys response to food.C) Hunger levels depend on ones consumption of calories.D) People tend to take i
33、n a lot more calories than necessary.59. What does Brunstrom suggest we do to control our appetite?A) Trick ourselves into eating less.C) Concentrate on food while eating.B) Choose food with fewer calories.D) Pick dishes of the right size.60. What is the main idea of the passage?A)Eating distraction
34、s often affect our food digestion.B) Psychological factors influence our hunger levels.C) Our food intake is determined by our biological needs.D) Good eating habits will contribute to our health.練習(xí)9 2013年12月第一套Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage. When we talk about Amer
35、icans barely into adulthood who are saddled with unbearable levels of debt, the conversation is almost always about student loan debt. But theres a growing body of evidence suggesting that todays young adults are also drowning in credit-card debt and that many of them will take this debt to their gr
36、aves.More than 20% overspent their income by more than $100 every single month. Since they haven't built up their credit histories yet, its a safe bet that these young adults are paying relatively high interest rates on the resulting credit card debt.Although many young people blame “socializing
37、” as a barrier to saving money, most of them aren't knocking back $20 drinks in trendy (時(shí)尚的)lounges. They're struggling with much more daily financial demands.To a disturbingly large extent, the young and the broke are relying on credit cards to make it until their next payday. This obviousl
38、y isn't sustainable in the long run, and its going to put a huge drag on their spending power even after they reach their peak earning years, because they'll still be paying interest on that bottle of orange juice or box of spaghetti (意式面條)they bought a decade earlier.A new study out of Ohio
39、 State University found that young adults are accumulating credit card debt at a more rapid rate than other age groups, and that they're slower at paying it off. “If what we found continues to hold true, we may have more elderly people with substantial financial problems in the future,” warns Lu
40、cia Dunn, professor of economics at Ohio State. “If our findings persist, we may be faced with a financial crisis among elderly people who can't pay off their credit cards.,Dunn says a lot of these young people are never going to get out from under their credit card debt. “Many people are borrow
41、ing on credit cards so heavily that payoff rates at these levels are not sufficient to recover their credit card debt by the end of their life, which could have loss implica¬tions for the credit card issuing banks.”61. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A) Many young Americans will ne
42、ver be able to pay off their debts.B) Credit cards play an increasingly important role in college life.C) Credit cards are doing more harm than students loans.D) The American credit card system is under criticism.62. Why do young people have to pay a higher interest on their credit card debt?A) They
43、 tend to forget about the deadlines. B) They haven't developed a credit history.C) They are often unable to pay back in time.D) They are inexperienced in managing money.63. What is said to be the consequence of young adults relying on credit cards to make ends meet?A) It will place an unnecessar
44、y burden on society.B) It will give them no motivation to work hard.C) It will exert psychological pressure on them.D) It will affect their future spending power.64. What will happen to young adults if their credit card debt keeps accumulating according to Lucia Dunn?A) They will have to pay an incr
45、easingly higher interest rate.B) They may experience a financial crisis in their old age.C) Their quality of life will be affected.D) Their credit cards may be cancelled.65. What does Lucia Dunn think might be a risk for the credit card issuing banks?A) They go bankrupt as a result of over-lending.B
46、) They lose large numbers of their regular clients.C) Their clients leave their debts unpaid upon death.D) Their interest rates have to be reduced now and then.練習(xí)10. 2013年6月第三套Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage. Libraries are my world. I've been a patron (老主顧) all m
47、y life, and for the past nine years I've worked at multiple libraries and archives in and around Detroit. The library as an institution has many roles, but as our country struggles through an economic crisis, I have watched the library where I work evolve into a career and business center, a com
48、munity gathering place and a bastion (lit) of hope.In the spring of 2007 I got a library internship (實(shí)習(xí)生的位置) at the Southfield Public Library (SPL), just north of Detroit. Summers at SPL were usually slow, but that year, we experienced a library that was as busy as science-fair project week, midterm
49、s or tax season. Yet patrons weren't looking for Mosby's Nursing Drug Reference or tax return forms. They were coming for information on growing their small business.I interpreted people's interest in our business collection as the first step to pursuing their dreams, but these patrons w
50、ere not motivated by dreams. They were responding to reality, and they were looking for Plan B.Things worsened in 2008, and in 2009 the economic crisis continues to plague Michigan. Last year, we put up a display with a variety of job resources that we restocked every hour. Each night the library cl
51、osed, the display was bare. While we normally keep displays up for a week, we kept the job resources display up for months.Then there's the tightening credit market. People see the writing on the wall and they want to get educated. They can't afford a financial adviser, but checking books out is free. Some of the most popular titles now are Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and Suze Ormans 2009 Action Plan.The economic downturn affects us all. I have had to work long hours and don't get to see much of my boyfriend or exp
