According to a University of Illinois professor who studies the sociology of educat

20、ion, high school sophomores who were rated by their teachers as having good social skills and work habits, and who participated in extracurricular activities in high school, made more money and completed higher levels of education 10 years later than their classmates who had similar standardized tes

21、t scores but were less socially adroit(熟练的)and participated in fewer extracurricular activities. Christy Lleras, a professor of human and community development, says that “soft skills” such as sociability, punctuality, conscientiousness(负责任) and an ability to get along well with others, along with p

22、articipation in extracurricular activities, are better predictors of earnings and higher educational achievement later in life than having good grades and high standardized test scores. “Thats not tosay that academic achiecement in high school doesnt matterit does,”Lleras said. “But if we only look

23、at standardized test scores, were only considering part of the equation for success as an adult in a global marketplace. Academic achievement is part of the story, but its not the whole story. Youve got to have the social skills and work habits to back those achievements up.” With the generational s

24、hift from a manufacturing-hased economy to a service-and-information-based one, employers value workers who can not only boast about their GPAs and SAT scores, but are also able to get along well with the public and co-workers, Lleras. “I think weve known this intuitively for a long time that employ

25、ers are looking for something beyond cognitive (认知的)skills” Lleras said. “Leadership now is not an individual thing , its how well you get along in a team and get people organized.” 41.

28、t to Increase Production ViennaIn spite of Iraqs decision to stop oil deliveries ,the 11-nation Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ( OPEC) will not increase production to make up the shortfall , ministers decided Tuesday in Vienna .The 11 oil ministers decided to meet again on July 3 to d

29、iscuss the effects of the Iraq temporary stop .The organizations president ,Chakib Khelil of Algeria ,said after the meeting that stocks were high and prices were stable ,so quota（配额） increases were not necessary .The E.U. Commission has expressed concern about Iraqs output stop .A speaker said OPEC

30、 had to take all possible measures to keep or lower the oil price .Saudi Arabias Oil Minister Ali Al-Nuaimi had earlier said there would not be any shortage of oil in the market .The organization had already taken steps to fill the gap .he said .OPEC Secretary General Ali Rodriguez added that the pe

31、riod of the Iraq stopping exports was not known ,so other exporters were not going to lift quotas yet .If the market was destabilized （动摇的）,a suitable response could be made .Iraq on Monday stopped shipments of crude oil to protest against the U.N. Security Councils decision to extend the oil-forfoo

32、d program by only a month , instead of the normal six-month renewal（延期）.Just before the Vienna meeting , oil prices had gone up ,with a barrel of OPEC crude selling for 27.05 dollars ,up from 26.81 dollars last Friday .North sea oil was at 29.26 dollars Monday evening .OPEC wants the oil price to st

Security Council D they can make up their minds to increase oil production (C) If there is one thing Im sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a n

38、ecessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation. The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what

39、affects our livesthe big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. Its already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因)engineering. In t

40、he future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we doas we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are. Its quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from Fleet St

41、reet and printed out in our own home. In fact, Im pretty sure how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to readsports and international news, etc. . I think people have got it wrong when they tal

42、k about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasnt happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet,

43、its never really pleasant to read something just on a screen. 49. What is the best title for the passage? A The Best Way to Get NewsB The Changes of MediaC Make Your Own NewspaperD The Future of Newspaper50. In the writers opinion, in the future,_. A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters w

44、ill make newsB. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longerC newspapers will cover more scientific researchD more and more people will watch TV51. From the passage, we can infer_. A newspapers will win the competition among the different mediaB newspapers will stay with us togethe

45、r with other mediaC television will take the place of newspaperD the writer believes some media will die out52. The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means_. A depend on B compete with C fight with D kill off (D) The biggest safety threat（威胁）facing airlines today may not be a man with a gun ,b

46、ut the man with portable（便携式）computer in business class .In the past 15 years ,pilots have reported about over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electro-magnetic interference(电磁干扰) .The source of this interference remain unclear ,but increasingly ,experts are pointing the blame at portabl

47、e electronic devices（设备）such as portable computers ,radio and mobile telephones .RTCA ,an organization which advises the aviation industry ,has suggested that all airlines ban, such devices from being used during “key” stages of flight ,particularly take-off and landing .Some experts have gone furth

48、er ,calling for a total ban during all flights .Nowadays ,rules on using these devices are left up to airlines. And although some airlines ban passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing ,most are not willing to exercise a total ban ,if many passengers want to work during flight

49、s .The difficulty is understanding how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircrafts computers .Experts know that portable devices give off radiation which affects those wave lengths which aircraft uses for communication .But because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laborat

50、ory ,they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not .The fact that aircraft may be in trouble because of the interference raises the danger that some people may use radio systems in order to damage navigation（导航）equipment .As worrying ,though ,is the passenger who can

51、t hear the instruction to turn off his radio because the music is too loud .53.What is said about over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 15 years ?A They may have taken place during take-off and landing .B They have been caused by the damage to the radio systems .C They were said to have resulted f

52、rom electro-magnetic interference .D They were caused by the passengers portable computers .54. Few airlines want to refuse a total ban on their passengers because _ .A they have other effective safety measures to fall back on B they dont believe there is such a danger as radio interference C the ef

53、fect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved D most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio 55. Why is it difficult to see the effects of electromagnetic fields on computers ?A Experts lack proper equipment to such research .B It is dangerous to carry out such resea

54、rch on an airplane .C It remains a question what wave lengths are to be interfered with .D Scientists are not able to produce the same effects in laboratory .56. It can be inferred from the passage that the author _ .A hasnt formed his own opinion on this problem B has fully understood the danger of

55、 electromagnetic interference C regards it is as unreasonable to exercise a total ban during flight D is in favor of banning passengers use of electronic devices （E） Whos in control of your life? Whos pulling your strings? For the majority of us，its other peoplesociety，colleagues，friends，family or o

56、ur religious communityWe learned this way of operating when we were very young，of courseWe were brainwashedWe discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like usAs Oscar Wilde puts it，“Most people are o

57、ther peopleTheir thoughts are someone elses opinions，their lives a mimicry，their passions a quotation” So when people tell us how wonderful we are，it makes us feel goodWe long for this good feeling like a drugwe are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we canTherefore，we are so eager for the appr

58、oval(赞同)of others that we live unhappy and limited lives，failing to do the things we really want toJust as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(一剂毒品)，we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approvalBut，just as with any drug，there is a price to

59、payThe price of the approval drug is freedomthe freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people thinkPeople have their own agenda，and they come with their own baggage and，in the end，theyre moreinterested in themselves than in youFurthermore，if we try to live by the opi

60、nions of others，we will build our life on sinking sandEveryone has a different way of thinking，and people changetheir opinions all the timeThe person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the processSo how can we take back control? I think th

61、eres only one waymake a conscious decision to stop caring what other people thinkWe should guide ourselves by means of a set of valuesnot values imposed from the outside by others，but innate values which come from withinIf we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value syst

63、the author try to argue in the third paragraph?AChanging opinions may cost us our freedomBWe may lose ourselves to please othersCWe need to pay for what we want to getDThe price of taking the drug is freedom59It can be concluded from the passage that A. its better to do what we likeBwe shouldnt care

64、 what others thinkCwe shouldnt change our own opinionsDits important to accept others opinions 60The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his arguments mainly by Aanalyzing causes and effects Bproviding examples and facts Cdiscussing questions Dmaking suggestions 第二节 根据对括号内容，从对话后的选项中选出最佳选项
