29、sage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Is loyalty in the workplace dead?Just recently, Lynda Gratton, a workplace expert, proclaimed that it was. In The Financial Times, she said that it had been killed off th

30、rough (41) _ contracts, outsourcing, automation and multiple careers.Its sad if this good virtue is now out of place in the business world. But the situation may be more (42) _. Depending on how you (43) _ it, loyalty may not be dead, but is just playing out differently.Fifty years ago, an employee

31、could stay at the same company for decades, said Tammy Erickson, an author and work-force consultant. Many were (44) _ longtime employment along with health care and a pension.Now many companies cannot or will not hold up their end of the bargain, so why should the employees hold up theirs? Given th

32、e opportunity, theyll take their skills and their portable retirement accounts elsewhere. These days, Ms. Gratton writes, (45) _ is more important than loyalty: Loyalty is about the future - trust is about the present. Ms. Erickson says that the quid pro quo (交换物，报酬) of modern employment is more lik

33、ely to be: As long as I work for you, I promise to have the relevant skills and (46) _ fully in my work; in return youll pay me (47) _, but I dont expect you to care for me when Im 110.For some baby boomers, this (48) _ has been hard to accept. Many started their careers (49) _ that they would be re

34、warded based on tenure (任职).A longtime employee who is also productive and motivated is of enormous value, said Cathy Benko, chief talent officer at Deloitte. On the other hand, she said, You can be with a company a long time and not be highly committed.Ms. Benko has seen her company shift its (50)

35、_ to employees level of engagement - or the level at which people are motivated to deliver their best work - rather than length of tenure.Then there are the effects of the recent recession. Many people - if they havent been (51) _- have stayed in jobs because they feel they have no choice. Employers

36、 may need to prepare for disruptions and turnover when the job market improves.If the pendulum（摇摆不定的事态或局面） shifts, how will businesses persuade their best employees to stay? (52) _ may do the trick, but not always. Especially with younger people, youre not going to buy extra loyalty with extra money

37、, Ms. Erickson said. (53) _, employers need to make jobs more challenging and give workers more creative space, she said.Loyalty may not be what it once was, but most companies will still be better off with at least a core of people who stay with them across decades.If loyalty is seen as a (54) _ to

41、sadvantage D. benefitSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have

42、read.( A )Celebrity has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about a specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the

43、practice of putting models on the cover because they dont sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others products to developing their own. Celebrity clothing lines arent a completely new phe

44、nomenon, but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Todaytheyre started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal st

45、yle. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life. However, for every success story, theres a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the

46、products origin is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty returning to tried-and-true labels. Today, celebrities face even more severe em

47、barrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebritys shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears.

48、Still, the egos potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short tim

49、e, but fashion - like celebrity - has always been temporary.56.Fashion magazines today _. A. seldom put models on the coverB. no longer put models on the coverC. need not worry about celebrities market potentialD. judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly57. “loyalty(忠诚) returning to t

50、ried-and-true labels” in Paragraph 3 echoes the idea that _.A. ordinary consumers are more concerned with price rather than brand nameB. celebrity branded products can be an instant successC. consumers enthusiasm for celebrity branded products prove to be inconstantD. to consumers, quality matters m

51、ore than the outside of products.58. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 indicates that any wrong step will possibly_.A. decrease the popularity of a celebrity and the sales of his productsB. damage the image of a celebrity in the eyes of the general publicC. cut short the artistic career of a ce

52、lebrity in show businessD. influence the price of a celebritys products59.

60、mte, the French philosopher and father of sociology, coined the new word altruism （利他主义）as part of a drive to create a non-religious religion based on scientific principles. He defined it as “intentional action for the welfare of others that involves at least the possibility of either no benefit or

61、a loss to the actor”. At that time, studies of animal behavior and phrenology (颅相学) led him to locate egotistical (自我本位的) instincts at the back of the brain, altruistic ones at the front.Today, we have a far more sophisticated knowledge of the neurological (神经学的) and biochemical factors that underpi

62、n kind behavior. And this science forms the bases of two books aimed at general readersbut also at those who, despite the research, still doubt the existence of altruism.However, the books may end up providing more information for the naysayers（反对者）. Take The Altruistic Brain by neuroscientist Donal

63、d Pfaff. On solid scientific ground, he builds a five-step theory of how altruism occurs, which depends on an idea that is unconvincing and may achieve the opposite result. Pfaff argues that to act altruistically you should first visualize the receiver of your good will, then mentally transform thei

64、r image into your own, “from angle to angle and curve to curve”. Does it really work?At the core of evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilsons Does Altruism Exist? is another contentious (有争议的) idea: altruism has evolved as the result of group selection. But Wilson argues his corner masterfully, pro

65、viding a clever reply to the belief that natural selection occurs only at the level of the selfish gene: “Selfishness beats altruism within groups. Altruistic groups beat selfish groups,” he says. In other words, we cooperate when doing so gives our team the advantage. That doesnt sound very selfles

66、s either.Wilson acknowledges this, but argues that thoughts and feelings are less important than actions. According to evolutionary theory, pure altruists do exist, but it doesnt matter why people choose to help otherstheir reasons may be difficult even for themselves to understand. What matters is

67、that humans can coordinate their activities in just the right way to achieve common goals. Other animals do this too, but we are masters. “Teamwork is the signature adaptation of our species,” he says.Pfaff goes further, insisting that our brain biology “urges us to be kind”. He believes this knowle

68、dge alone will inspire individuals to be more altruistic. His desire to create a better world is admirable and some of his ideas are interesting, but Wilsons analysis is clearer.While it is in our nature to be altruistic, Wilson says, we also have a healthy regard for self-interest and a resistance

69、to being pushed around. Which one comes to the fore depends on the environment in which we find ourselves. Ethics, he says, cannot be taught at individual level, but are “a property of the whole system”.63. Which of the following can be considered an altruistic behaviour according to Comtes definiti

70、on? A. A person offers to donate his liver to another who needs one. B. A clerk returns the umbrella to his colleague which he has kept for a long time . C. A student volunteers to work in the orphanage to collect data for his research. D. A police officer spots a car parking in the no-parking area,

71、 finding a child in the trunk.64. What does Donald Pfaff think people should do in order to altruistically? A. Draw a picture of the person they are going to help. B. Transform the receiver into a kind person. C. Visualize what they are going to do in mind first. D. Imagine they themselves are to be

72、 helped.65. Which of the following statements is David Sloan most likely to agree with in his book? A. Being kind is not something people are born with. B. People in groups are less likely to be selfish. C. People may well act selflessly because of where they are. D. Most people know clearly why the

73、y are ready to help others. 66. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Figuring out what makes us behave selflessly is a tricky business. B. Unlike Donald Pfaffs book, David Sloans book aims at professional readers. C. Comtes definition of altruism proves to be impractical in modern times. D. Bo

74、th Donald Pfaff and David Sloan lay emphasis on team work. Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. The critical abilities are beginning to

75、 develop in adolescence.B. Their view on life usually falls on two extremes.C. Of all periods of life, this is what may best be called the “plastic age”.D. They are basically timid or self-conscious.E. Despite that, it is also in this period that strong ties between teachers and students develop.F.

76、Fundamentally they want to be kept busy but they refuse to admit it.Adolescents refer to boys and girls at high-school level-more specifically the second, third and forth years of high schools. In dealing with students at this level, we must bear in mind that to some degree they are at the difficult

77、 stage, generally called adolescence.Students at this level are likely to be confused mentally. They usually find it hard to concentrate on what they intend to do and often have romantic dreams. _67_ They lack frankness and are usually very easily affected by their own emotions but hate to admit it.

78、 They are driven either by greater ambition, probably beyond their capability, or by extreme laziness caused by the fear of not succeeding or achieving objectives. _68_. They are willing to work, but they hate to work without obtaining the result they think they should obtain.Regarding school issues

79、, although they seldom say so, they really want to be consulted and given an opportunity to direct their own affairs, but they need a good amount of guidance. They seldom admit that they need this guidance and they frequently rebel against it. But if its intelligently offered they accept it with ent

80、husiasm. As to personal beliefs, most of adolescents are trying to form political ideals and they have a tendency to be sometimes extremely idealistic, and at other times conventional, blindly accepting what their fathers and grandfathers believed in. _69_. On the one hand they are too modest and on

81、 the other hand unreasonably boastful. They tend to be influenced more by a strong character than by great intelligence._70_.Having a better understanding of the characteristics and needs of young people at this age is a task that falls both on educators and other people involved. It may also help t

82、he young go through this difficult and critical stage of life in a more constructive manner.IV. 71. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.It is a common sight

83、on campus or in the streets: a young person rides by on an electric scooter, traveling quickly and proudly. But Beijings traffic authorities have said that starting on Sept.5, people who are caught riding electric scooters on public roads or bicycle lanes will be fined 10 yuan. They will also be giv

84、en a warning not to use the vehicles on public roads again. The announcement was made after traffic police in Shanghai started a campaign to get electric scooters off public roads, with police officers stopping riders because the scooters could cause traffic problems.The Beijing Consumer Association

85、 said it had tested more than 20 electric scooters of different brands recently and found that most had substandard brakes. It added that 16 of the tested scooters could go faster than the maximum 20 km per hour set for electric bikes. According to the traffic police, people who ride electric scoote

86、rs at certain speeds can easily bump into the vehicles in the vehicle lane and hurt people who walk in the bicycle lanes. But seeing the benefits that electric scooters have brought to young people, experts are worried that the ban may take effect slowly. Electric scooters are a great answer to the

87、“last mile problem” of getting from a public transport station to ones home. Theyre light enough to throw over your shoulder. Theyre easy to ride just about anywhere and dont need a lot of physical effort. The scooter can travel 25 km on one charge. Its convenient and easy to control. They are also

88、good for the environment. Unlike cars and buses, electric scooters produce no carbon dioxide, need no fuel and make almost no noise. For many young people, they use them to copy cool celebrities they have seen in videos.第II卷 （共40分）V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into Engl
