18.Do you have a hobby-something you really enjoy doing in your spare time?Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you could spend more time on your hobby and less time at work?Maybe it's not an either/or situation.Perhaps you can do both at the same time.
When choosing a career,one of the things you must consider is your interests.Why then do so many people not even think about their hobbies when a hobby is,in fact,an interest?Perhaps it's because even Webster's Dictionary defines a hobby as"a pursuit (消遣,嗜好) outside one's regular occupation (職業(yè))".Maybe this is a rule you should break.After all,no one ever said your hobby had to stay separate from your occupation.In addition people are usually very skilled at their hobbies.The combination of interest and skill is a very compelling (令人信服的) reason to choose a particular career.
"Who's going to hire someone who loves making beaded (串珠狀的) jewelry?"you may ask yourself.Good question.Don't wait for someone to hire you.Start your own business.That may be the best way to combine your hobby with your career.Those with hobbies that involve creating things,i.e.jewelry,clothing,or pottery,may do well to sell those items on their own.Before you go forward with your plans,though,you should find out whether being an entrepreneur (企業(yè)家) is for you.
When you attempt to turn your hobby into a career,don't forget to do your homework.Even though you may have enjoyed training your 34parakeets (長尾鸚鵡) to sing the National Anthem,that doesn't mean you're cut out to be an animal trainer.Be sure to research your career choice completely.There may be aspects of it that just aren't for you.In that case,stick to your day job,as they say,and save your hobby for your free time.

46.Why does the writer ask two questions in the first paragraph?A
A.To lead in the topic of hobby and career.
B.To describe what can be a hobby.
C.To compare hobbies with work.
D.To explain what a hobby is.
47.We can infer from paragraph 2that many peopleB.
A.always mix their interest with their hobbies
B.often separate their hobbies from their jobs
C.daren't break a rule of choosing their jobs
D.don't know the true meaning of a hobby
48.What can we learn from the last paragraph?C
A.Doing one's homework may be a hobby.
B.A day job can't be a hobby in your spare time.
C.Not every hobby is suitable to become a career.
D.An animal trainer has a hobby of singing songs.
49.By writing this passage,the writer intends to introduceD.
A.how to choose a hobby for your free time
B.how to develop your own hobby
C.how to treat your job as a hobby
D.how to turn a hobby into a career.

分析 這是一篇人生感悟類閱讀.人們有事業(yè)也有自己的業(yè)余愛好,如何把業(yè)余愛好轉變成事業(yè)?最好的方法就是把兩者有機的結合在一起.

解答 46.A    47.B    48.C    49.D
46  A     細節(jié)理解題.本文講的是"如何把業(yè)余愛好轉變成事業(yè)?"第一段的兩個問句Do you have a hobby-something you really enjoy doing in your spare time?Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you could spend more time on your hobby and less time at work?你是否有業(yè)余愛好-在你的業(yè)余時間真正喜歡做的事情?你有沒有考慮過如果你可以在自己感興趣的事情上面花更多的時間,而在工作上花更少的時間,那會怎么樣?這兩個問句引出文章的主題,故選A
47    B    推理判斷題.根據第二段第三句、第四句、第五句Perhaps it's because even Webster's Dictionary defines a hobby as"a pursuit (消遣,嗜好) outside one's regular occupation (職業(yè))".Maybe this is a rule you should break.After all,no one ever said your hobby had to stay separate from your occupation.可能是因為,即使在韋氏詞典上,對業(yè)余愛好的定義也是"在正規(guī)工作之外的追求".也許你該打破這條成規(guī).畢竟,沒人說過你的興趣和工作應該絕對分開.從這里可知"很多人經常把他們的事業(yè)和業(yè)余愛好分離開."
48   C   細節(jié)理解題.根據第四段第二句、第三句、第四句Even though you may have enjoyed training your pet birds to sing the national song,that doesn't mean you're suitable to be an animal trainer.Be sure to research your career choice completely.There may be aspects(方面)of it that just aren't for you.即使你喜歡培訓你的34只長尾小鸚鵡唱國歌也不意味著你注定適合做一名馴獸師.確保對你選擇的職業(yè)做好了充分的調查研究.也許有的方面就不適合你.
49    D   主旨大意題.根據第一段最后一句  Perhaps you can do both at the same time.又或許你可以同時做到這樣的兩件事情.第三段的That may be the best way to combine your hobby with your career.這可能是將你的興趣融合到工作中的最佳方式了.最后一段最后兩句There may be aspects(方面)of it that just aren't for you.In that case,stick to your day job,as they say,and save your hobby for your free time.也許有的方面就不適合你,這樣的話,就堅持你原來的工作吧,像他們說的一樣,將業(yè)余愛好留在工作以外的時間吧.

點評 做閱讀理解時要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問題回到原文,尋找細節(jié)或概括相應的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.

9.Do you find yourself leading groups,or are you naturally more comfortable following others?Research published today shows that if you want to be a leader you're better off at the edges of a crowd,and not in the middle of the action.
In a series of experiments on crowd behaviour,a research team at the University of Leeds also found that successful leaders display more decisive behaviour,spending less time following others and acting more quickly than others in the group.
Lead researcher Jolyon Faria said:"It was interesting to find that the most effective leaders remained on the edges of the group and attempted to lead from the front.You'd think leaders in the centre of the group should interact more often with others and therefore be more effective but here this wasn't the case."
The research team asked groups of eight students to walk around continuously in a specified area and remain as a group without speaking or gesturing to one another.
One person was asked to move towards a target,while remaining a member of the group,without letting the others know that he or she was leading them to a target.In a second set of experiments,the students were told to follow"the leader",but not told who the leader was.
In the second set of experiments,it was found that those leaders who remained on the edge of the group were able to move their group towards a target much more quickly than the leaders that chose to remain in the centre.
"We wanted to find out how people decided who to follow"said Faria."We found that people were able to identify their leader by what position the leader takes,which helps explain how animals in groups-such as birds and fish-can be led by only a small minority,even when leaders don't signal their identity."
"Our findings have illustrated a general principle behind group behaviour.This can also be applied to animal groups,something that could help in the management of the natural environment,as well as in the management of the urban environment."
(Note:Answer the questions and complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)

78.The decisive behavior successful leaders display in a group is that theyspend less time following others and act more quickly.
79.According to Jolyon Faria,people tend to have the wrong belief that leaders shouldstay in the center of the group and interact more with others in order to be more effective.
80.We can learn from the passage that the fish leaders may lead the whole group byremaining on the edges of the group.
81.What does"a general principle"refer to in the last paragraph?People can identify their leader by the position he takes.

3.I worked as a manager in a company for a number of years.I liked my job,and was doing well there,but our company was bought by a large company and most of the managers at our place lost their jobs.That was when I decided to do something I'd always wanted to do---become a freelance(自由撰稿的) writer.Changing professions has meant that my lifestyle has changed in a number of ways.
The main difference for me now is that I have a much more flexible( 靈活的) schedule.I work about as much as I did before---between 45and 50hours a week---but my schedule is much less rigid (刻板的) than it used to be.Before,I worked from 8a.m.to 5p.m.every day,with a few extra hours on weekends.Now,however,I work when I feel like it.For instance,sometimes I work until midnight or 2a.m.,then sleep until noon.I really prefer this kind of schedule.It seems more natural to me.
I alse decided that it was about time I began to pay more attention to my health.While I was working as a manager,I never exercised.I already felt tired after work,so I just came home in the evening and watched TV.However,last year I joined a health club and began to do regular exercise.As a result I have lost over 10pounds and I feel much better.I've also started to eat more healthfully.I used to eat a lot of fast food,but now I do my own shopping.I buy lots of fruits and vegetables and cook them at home.
Of course,not all the changes have been that east.For example,I don't feel as safe financially as I used to.When I was working as a manager,I never worried much about money.I could always count on getting my paycheck every two weeks.Working freelance,I don't have a regular paycheck.So now I have to make sure that there's enough money until the next check arrives.
All in all,I really like my current lifestyle.Of course,that doesn't mean I'll never want to have a"regular"job.But for me,at least,it suits me.

71.The author decided to become a freelance writer becauseA.
A.he had always liked writing
B.he hadn't liked to work in the company
C.the boss didn't like him
D.the boss had another person to do the job
72.What is the main difference the job change brought to the author?C
A.That he doesn't need to work hard.
B.That he can earn much more money.
C.That he can change his schedule as he likes.
D.That he can watch TV as long as he likes.
73.What is his chief problem now?D
A.He has no job to do.
B.He must work harder than before.
C.His health has changed worse than before.
D.He has to worry about money.
74.At the end of the passage,the author indicates thatB.
A.he wants to have a regular job
B.he is not going to change his lifestyle in the near future
C.he wants to change his lifestyle in the near future
D.he must change his job to earn more money.
75.Which of the following is True according to the passage?B
A.The author likes to work in the company very much.
B.The author's lifestyle has changed in a number of ways.
C.The author doesn't like to do exercise.

10.When milk arrived on the doorstep
    When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s,we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.His name was Mr.Basille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.As a 5-year-old boy,I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
    Of course,he delivered more than milk.There was cheese,eggs and so on.If we needed to
change our order.my mother would pen a note-"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"
-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles.And then,the buttermilk would magically appear.
    All of this was about more than convenience.There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen.Mr.Basille even had a key to our house,for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors,so that the milk wouldn't freeze.And I remember Mr.
Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table,having a cup of tea and telling stories
about his delivery.
    There is sadly no home milk delivery today.Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk,thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete.Besides,milk is for sale everywhere,and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
    Recently.an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories.I
took it home and planted it on the back porch(門廊).Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is.So I start telling stories of my boyhood,and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
51.Mr.Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changerC.
  A.to show his magical power
  B.to pay for the delivery
  C.to satisfy his curiosity
  D.to please his mother
52.What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?D
    A.He wanted to have tea there.
    B.He was a respectable person.
    C.He became the boy's family member.
    D.He was fully trusted by the family.
53.Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?B
    A.Nobody wants to be a milkman now.
    B.It has been driven out of the market.
    C.Its service is getting poor.
    D.It is forbidden by law.
54.Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A
    A.He missed the good old days.
    B.He wanted to tell interesting stories.
    C.He needed it for his milk bottles.
    D.He planted flowers in it.
