4.The earth provides us with almost everything that we need to eat,sleep,work and entertain.To do all this,we use the earth's resources.Because some of us have more buying power,they end up using more resources than they usually need.At the same time,we also create a great deal of waste and pollution.So we also need to think about how much land we use to deal with that waste.Then two things happen:first,large numbers of the world's population get much less resources than they need to live; second,the earth is damaged.
The amounts of resources we consumed are like footprints.They show whose lifestyles are a burden on the earth and whose lifestyles are not.Because a few people eat up most of the earth's resources,the majority have to bear the consequences-like pollution.Th is is the ecological footprints that the earth keeps in its memory.
Some years ago,a famous expert,called William Rees,developed this idea of the ecological footprints.Today,this idea has become like a magnifying glass (放大鏡).It allows us to see whether we are living lives in a way that keeps the earth in a reasonably good shape.Once the earth goes out of shape,there is no hope for human beings.
Countries like the United States and Canada have big ecological footprints.Rees calculated that the average amount of energy and materials consumed by a Canadian is what a land of 4.3 hectares can produce.India has a footprint of 0.4.This means that the energy and materials consumed by an Indian is what 0.4 hectares of land can produce.But if we look more carefully,we will find that even within India,the footprints of the city Indian are much larger than the rural Indian.
32.Which of the following is the best title for this text?A
A.Footprints on the earth         
B.How to protect the earth
C.Footprints of wild animals      
D.How to reduce pollution on the earth
33.Our footprints on the earth refer toD.
A.the cities we build         
B.the cultures we create
 C.the marks we leave on roads behind us    
D.the resources we use and the waste we produce
34.According to the text,rich peopleB.
A.should give more money to the poor 
B.are using too many resources
C.are helping the poor to live better lives  
D.should live in rural areas with the poor
35.We learn from the text that ReesA.
A.put forward the idea of the ecological footprints
B.thought highly of the United States and Canada
C.thought India was an extremely poor country
D.thought rich people made great contributions to society.

分析 本文是一篇議論文.我們消費及浪費的能源數量就是留在地球上的腳印,腳印越多說明消費的資源越多,給地球造成的負擔越重.一旦把地球踩得變了形,那人類就沒有了生存的希望.

解答 32--35 ADBA
32.A.主旨題.縱觀全文可知,第二段是本文的主題段.根據第二段第一句主題句"The amounts of resources we consumed are like footprints."并結合下文中多次提到的"footprints"可知,A項意為"地球上的腳印",適合做標題.故選A.
33.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據第二段第一句"The amounts of resources we consumed are like footprints."可知,地球上的腳印指的是我們消費的能源數量.故選D. 
34.B.推理判斷題.根據第一段第三句"Because some of us have more buying power,they end up using more resources than they usually need."可知,有更強購買力的人使用的資源超過了他們的實際需要,即富人消耗的資源太多.故選B.
35.A.細節(jié)理解題.根據第三段第一句"Some years ago…William Rees,developed this idea of the ecological footprints."可知,答案選A.

點評 新聞一般采用"倒金字塔"式結構(即先說結果,再說重要事實,最后說次要內容),但有的通訊敘述方比較靈活多變,有順敘、倒敘、中間或許還會有插敘、補敘等敘述方法,這就要求我們在閱讀時特別關注.必須在十分有限的時間內運用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀,搜尋關鍵詞、主題句,捕捉時空、順序、情節(jié)、人物、觀點,并且理清文章脈絡,把握語篇實質.

One day a lawyer said to him,"One thousand dollars,and here is the money."As Hobbs took the package of notes,he was very dumbfounded.He didn't know where the money came from and how to spend it.He said to himself,"I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I'd like to do:painting pictures.I could do that for a few weeks,but what would I do after that?I should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on.If it were a little less money,I would buy a new coat,or a radio,or give a dinner to my friends.If it were more,I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures.But it's too much for one and too little for the other."

16.Talking to human-like devices can be great fun-just ask Siri to tell you a joke.But it muy also lead to problems.
A recent study by scientists from the University of Kansas in the US found that human-like devices keep people from seeking out normal human interaction when they feel lonely.
During a series of experiments,panicipants were asked to write about a time when they felt lonely.They also took part in an online game of"catch"against a computer program that was designed to"throw"the hall to other players more often,but participants believed they were playing with real people online.
Participants were then introduced to human-like products,including a vacuum cleaner (真空吸塵器) designed to appear as if it were smiling.They were also asked to think about their phone in human-like terms,considering questions like"how much does it help you?"
The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn't need to seek out normal human interaction.
Generally,when people feel socially excluded,they seek out other ways to reduce
the feeling of loneliness.Normal ways include increasing their number of social media friends or engaging in behaviors to seek out interaction with other people,according to Jenny Olson,assistant professor of marketing at KU.
But it wasn't all bad news,as the team found that there were limits to how far this effect would extend.
"As soon as we tell people we know that it looks like the vacuum cleaner is smiling,they seemed to realize it was a machine and not a person."Olson told Daily Mail."The effect goes away.This seems to be happening on a very subconscious level."
Researchers believe the results arc important for consumers to realize how these types of products could affect their social interaction with real people,especially because so many new products feature interactivity.
"lf someone notices they are talking more to Siri lately,maybe that has something to do with feeling lonely."Olson said."From that standpoint,it's important to be aware of it."
The study could also help companies design products that can increase the well-being of people who feel lonely,without sacrificing normal social interaction.
"Maybe ii is more about improving our current relationships."Olson said,"such as taking a break from screen time and focusing on developing your real personal connections."

56.Researchers from the University of Kansas found thatD.
A.hunum-like devices may help people interact with others
B.interactions with human-like devices may make people feel lonely
C.lonely people may easily become addicted to human-like devices
D.human-like devices may reduce people's social interaction in real life
57.During the experiments,participantsB.
A.were allowed to talk with human-like devices
B.were shown devices with human features
C.played online games with both machines and real people
D.were encouraged to engage in normal human interaction
58.The underlined phrase"this effect"in Paragraph 7refers to the fact thatB
A.lonely people are more likely to seek out interaction with other people
B.lonely people are content to interact vviih human-like machines
C.the feeling of loneliness deepens as people interact with human-like devices
D.people who are socially excluded will have difficulty in socializing
59.One of the significances of the study is that itD.
A.shows people why human-like products make them feel lonely
B.warns people to abandon human-like devices completely
C.forces lonely people to get involved in normal social interaction
D.help companies realize the limitation of human-like devices.

3.The best mistake I ever made was when I was 24 years old and a senior at New York University (NYU).At the time,I was planning to get a law and business degree after graduation and wasn't even job hunting.
    One day,I walked into the student center looking to get a soda,but instead found a roomful of students wearing suits and ties and holding a stack of resumes (簡歷).Clearly,I had accidentally walked into a job fair.I was casually dressed and had a scarf on my head because I hadn't washed my hair that morning.I tried to walk across the hall when a man stopped me with his hand reached out."Hi,my name is Donny McKenthan.Would you like to work for IBM?"I replied,"Uh,no,thank you,I'm just getting something to drink from that machine over there."
    I ended up having a wonderful conversation with him,but I told him there was no way he could convince me.My course was set.I went out for dinner that night with some friends.When I mentioned my story,they couldn't believe I was foolish enough to turn down interviewing with this amazing company!I went home that night,dug out his card from the garbage bin and called him back.
    After a series of successful interviews,an IBM manager called me to extend an offer,which would be followed up in a few days in writing.When I asked what the salary was,he cryptically(含糊其辭)said 18,000.Inmymind,Ithought18,000 a year was low,given what I had been earning for part-time work paying my way through NYU.So I told him I thought I should earn more,and started to negotiate.He was surprised and explained that the starting salary for all trainees was set in store.
    The next day,I received the offer in the mail.As it turned out,I misunderstood the offer---I would earn $1,8000 a month.That was a great salary,so of course,I took the job.I never did tell my manager about my mistake,but a few months later he placed me in sales because I was the only trainee who had tried to negotiate a starting!That comedy of errors ended up being a wonderful 22-year career at IBM.
