18、, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects.Reality struck hard when I began atte nding job interviews and interviewers would say:"

19、; It ' sgreat that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends whohad studied science or technology those questions.A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technologysector.

25、vent anxiety from getting out of control is to recognize its benefits. It is a mistake to think that we'd make better decisions if only we keep our feelings under control. Instead, a mix of feelings like anxiety and logical thinking leads to sound decision- making. It's true that there is pl

26、enty of research showing that higher levels of anxiety can make us more likely to avoid risks in our decision-making. There is also evidence that anxiety can increase the attention you pay to relevant information.Recent studies have shown that people who are anxious about their relationship （ for ex

27、ample, they fear to be abandoned） tend to be better at recognizing people who tell lies and are more likely to raise the alarm when danger is present.In the real world though, it's worth realizing that feeling anxious once in a while is extremely common. It communicates to others that you care,

28、and what's more, it's probably a sign that you are intelligent. At least two published studies have identified that people who score higher on measures of anxiety also tend to perform better on intelligence tests. This seems reasonable: if you're a thinker, you are sure to be always thin

29、king about the future and imagine possible plots, including bad ones.The important thing, if you are a worrywart （杞人憂天者）， is not to let your fear destroyyour dreams. And don't bury your head in the sand. Instead, act on your fears do the research as well as preparation, so rather than walking bl

30、indly into that which you fear, you meet the challenge in full readiness.When anxiety beats you, or casts a shadow over your life, this is a serious problem. No one is denying that. But like everyday anxiety of this kind that you feel before a presentation or interview, you needn't see it as you

31、r enemy. Anxiety is an important feeling, developed through evolution. As for people who are fairly anxious by nature, there is reason for cheer, too. Your nerves（ 神經(jīng)緊張） are a sign of your watchfulness. Listen to them and act on them. Then you can turn your nervousness into your advantage.28. What c

32、an we infer from the first paragraph about anxiety?A. It can enable us to be more focused.B. It can stop us from thinking logically.C. It can make us more willing to take risks.D. It can be the only reason for all bad decisions.29. What can we learn from the passage?A. Anxious people are less sensit

33、ive to danger.B. Anxious people have difficulty discovering liars.C. Feeling anxious is more likely to put people at risk.D. Feeling anxious occasionally is a sign of intelligence.30. How should we deal with anxiety in the author's opinion?A. Regard it as our enemy.B. Take action to control it.C

34、. Avoid being defeated by it.D. Treat it as a minor feeling.31. What is the theme of the passage?A. Effective ways to prevent anxiety.B. Unexpected benefits of anxiety.C.

Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts （ 吹噓 ） of saving pre

36、cious seconds in handling tasks.All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spe

37、nding too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientist; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainl

Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.There was a time w

39、hen some people ' s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of

40、 the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.32. The new products become more and more time-saving because.A. our love of speed seems never-e

43、 is an art form which deals with the representation of emotion through the medium of sound. It can have a physical effect on us because it is closely linked with emotion, perhaps even more than the abstract nature of words. The number one reason why people listen to music is to adjust their emotiona

44、l state. 36Numerous studies leave us in no doubt that music can affect our mood state and stress level.37 For example, they have found that background music shuts out distractions. It calms them before a large task and then they can stay focused for longer. Also it can help their creativity and make

45、 studying more enjoyable.38 Firstly, it depends on what the task it. The more difficult the challenge is, the more likely background music will interrupt the learning process. For less challenging learning tasks, music can greatly assist in providing a positive learning state. Secondly, it depends o

46、n the characteristics of the music we'll come to in a moment. And thirdly, extroverts （性格夕卜向者）enjoy and often require more external stimulation（ 刺激）and are likely to handle background noise better than those who are quiet and shy.Actually, it's not about the type of music, but the natural mu

47、sical characteristics which aid or disrupt study. One of these characteristics is the tempo（拍子）.The recommended tempo for background music is in the range 70-110 beats per minute, slightly faster than the heartbeat at rest. 39 And very slow music lowers the heartbeat, creating a state that might be

48、too relaxed for study purposes.In addition, lyrics are the most distracting aspect of background musical listening. 40 _More particularly, studies have found that the most distracting background is fast and familiar vocal music, chosen and liked by the listener.A. Music is part of every culture in t

49、he world.B. In a very real sense, music connects us with our inner selves.C. They compete with the same brain regions that process language.D. Music, like language, is a unique human form of communication.E. Fast music raises the heartbeat , making one unable to focus on study.F. There are a few fac

50、tors that determine the effects of music on studying.G. Moreover, those who like studying with background music have found a lot of benefits.第三部分 語言知識運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）第一節(jié)（共20小題;每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項(xiàng)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。My husband and I stood there together, 41 the lovely table and chairs
