Living in fully catered houses on campus.BAbout a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to app

17、ly to work with you at Facebook，” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it？”My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually fo

18、cus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebooks needs front and centre. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting

19、, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading PeopleFacebook.The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to mo

20、st workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to fortysix alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”As Lori describes it, theres only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but t

21、here are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occas

22、ional dips, detours(弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.()24. Why did Lori make the call?A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.B. She wanted to make a busine

23、ss deal with Facebook.C. She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.D. She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.()25. What impressed “I” by Lori?A. Lori was good at running recruiting.B. Lori attached great importance to Facebooks needs.C. Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.D.

24、Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.()26. What can we infer from the passage?A. Now all people dont tend to climb the ladder.B. None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.C. Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.D. A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.()2

25、7. What is the best title of the passage?A. Its a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder B. Facebooks Biggest ProblemC. Applying for a Job in Facebook D. A Jungle Gym is Better than a LadderCThis is going to ruffle(激怒) a few feathers.PepsiCo purposely packs fewer chips into its flavoured chip bags, Hugh Johnston,

26、 the companys CFO, told the Associated Press.“There might be an ounce or two less in those bags，” Johnston said. Actually, its half an ounce less. Regular Lays are sold in 10ounce bags; flavoured Lays are sold in 9.5ounce bags; and both are sold for the same $4.29 price. That might not sound like a

27、lot, but it will sound like a lot with a bit of simple maths.Americans buy some $1.6 billion worth of Lays potato chips every year. Much of that is sold in bulkor merely in bags bigger than the standard ones mentioned above. But lets assume for a second that those 10ounce bags are the only ones Lays

28、 sells. That would mean the company sells more than 372 million bags of Lays in the US each yearor 3.72 billion ounces of chips, at about 43 cents per ounce. It would also mean that that halfounce difference is worth about 21.5 cents per bag, and about $80 million in total per year.That number is li

29、kely a good deal lower, but its not entirely unreasonable. If Lays is charging an extra payment for the smaller flavoured chip bags, its likely doing the same for the bigger ones, too. That tiny halfounce difference might only mean a potato chip or two to you, but its probably worth tens of millions

30、 of dollars to PepsiCo annually.PepsiCo confirmed that flavoured and unflavoured Lays chips are sold for the same price, but not in the same quantity. “This allows us to keep the same price point across the brand，” Jeff Dahncke said in an email. He also suggested that the chip difference has nothing

31、 to do with extra profit.“The reason why there is a slightly higher price per ounce for flavoured chips is the added seasonings(调味品)，” he said. But that doesnt appear to be the case.Some of the markups are simply meant to make up for the added input costs of cheese, barbecue, sour cream and onion, a

32、nd other flavourings. But some of them are also there(or not there) to increase the potato chip makers profits. PepsiCo has_a_soft_spot_for its specialty potato chips, because its specialty potato chips are more profitable than its regular ones, according to Johnston.Perhaps thats why Lays is gettin

33、g ready to launch a mass of new specialty potato chip flavours. The launch is part of PepsiCos annual “Do Us a Flavour” contest, in which it lets customers participate in the flavour creation process.()28. What did PepsiCo do to arouse public dissatisfaction?A. They raised the price of their flavour

34、ed chips.B. They gave short weight to their flavoured chips.C. They changed the flavours of their potato chips.D. They put more seasonings into their potato chips.()29. How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?A. By listing figures. B. By giving examples.C. By analysing causes. D. By making comparisons.(

35、)30. Why do Lays flavoured chips charge more per ounce according to Jeff Dahncke?A. To make more profits. B. To upgrade their products.C. To balance additional costs. D. To satisfy more peoples taste.()31. What does the underlined phrase “has a soft spot for” in the last but one paragraph mean?A. Ha

36、s a say in. B. Has a look at.C. Has access to. D. Has affection for.DMost of us are already aware of the direct effect we have on our friends and family. But we rarely consider that everything we think, feel, do, or say can spread far beyond the people we know. Conversely(相反地), our friends and famil

37、y serve as conduits(渠道) for us to be influenced by hundreds or even thousands of other people. In a kind of social chain reaction, we can be deeply affected by events we do not witness that happen to people we do not know. As part of a social network, we go beyond ourselves, for good or ill, and bec

38、ome a part of something much larger.Our connectedness carries with it fundamental implications(影响) for the way we understand the human condition. Social networks have value precisely because they can help us to achieve what we could not achieve on our own. Yet, socialnetwork effects are not always p

39、ositive. Depression, obesity, financial panic, and violence also spread. Social networks, it turns out, tend to magnify(放大) whatever they are seeded with.Partly for this reason, social networks are creative. And what these networks create does not belong to any one individualit is shared by all thos

40、e in the network. In this way, a social network is like a commonly owned forest: We all stand to benefit from it, but we also must work together to ensure it remains healthy and productive. While social networks are fundamentally and distinctively human, and can be seen everywhere, they should not b

41、e taken for granted.If you are happier or richer or healthier than others, it may have a lot to do with where you happen to be in the network, even if you cannot recognise your own location. And it may have a lot to do with the overall structure of the network, even if you cannot control that struct

42、ure at all. And in some cases, the process feeds back to the network itself. A person with many friends may become rich and then attract even more friends. This richgetricher dynamic means social networks can dramatically reinforce two different kinds of inequality in our society: situational inequa

43、lity and positional inequality.Lawmakers have not yet considered the consequences of positional inequality. Still, understanding the way we are connected is an essential step in creating a more just society and in carrying out public policies affecting everything from public health to the economy. W

44、e might be better off vaccinating(接种疫苗) centrally located individuals rather than weak individuals. We might be better off helping interconnected groups of people to avoid criminal behaviour rather than preventing or punishing crimes one at a time.If we want to understand how society works, we need

45、to fill in the missing links between individuals. We need to understand how interconnections and interactions between people give rise to wholly new aspects of human experience that are not present in the individuals themselves. If we do not understand social networks, we cannot hope to fully unders

46、tand either ourselves or the world we inhabit.()32. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A. We cant be easily affected by strangers.B. We are connected and form a social network.C. We have negative effects on other social members.D. We will not make a difference in a specific group.()33. Wh

47、y is a social network like a commonly owned forest?A. It remains healthy and productive.B. It tends to magnify negative things.C. It is creative and shared by people in the whole society.D. What it creates can be enjoyed by everyone in the network.()34. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that _. A. wheth

48、er we are richer depends on the number of friends we makeB. the wealth we possess has nothing to do with individual continuous effortsC. sometimes our success may be largely due to our position in social networksD. we wont succeed unless we fully control the overall structure of the network()35. Wha

49、ts the authors purpose in writing the passage?A. To introduce the characteristics of social networks.B. To urge people to understand how our society works.C. To show the significance of understanding social networks.D. To explain the possible consequences of ignoring social networks.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分
