15、our passages. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Passage OneWorking at nonstandard times-evenings, nights, or weekends-is taking its toll on American families. One-fifth of all employed Americans work variable or rotating shifts, an

16、d one-third work weekends, according to Harriet B. Presser, sociology professor at the University of Maryland. The result is stress on familial relationships, which is likely to continue in coming decades.The consequences of working irregular hours vary according to gender, economic level, and wheth

17、er or not children are involved. Single mothers are more likely to work nights and weekends than married mothers. Women in clerical, sales, or other low-paying jobs participate disproportionately in working late and graveyard shifts.Married-couple households with children are increasingly becoming d

18、ual-earner households, generating more split-shift couples. School-aged children, however, may benefit from parents nonstandard work schedules because of the greater likelihood that a parent will be home before or after school. On the other hand, a correlation exists between nonstandard work schedul

19、es and both marital instability and a decline in the quality of marriages.Nonstandard working hours mean families spend less time together for diner but more time together for breakfast. One-on-one interaction between parents and children varies, however, based on parent, shift, and age of children.

20、 There is also a greater reliance on child care by relatives and by professional providers.Working nonstandard hours is less a choice of employees and more a mandate of employer. Presser believes that the need for swing shifts and weekend work will continue to rise in the coming decades. She reports

21、 that in some European countries there are substantial salary premiums for employees working irregular hours-sometimes as much as 50% higher. The convenience of having services available 24 hours a day continues to drive this trend.Unfortunately, says Presser, the issue is virtually absent from publ

22、ic discourse. She emphasizes the need for focused studies on costs and benefits of working odd hours, the physical and emotional health of people working nights and weekends, and the reasons behind the necessity for working these hours. “Nonstandard work schedules not only are highly prevalent among

23、 American families but also generate a level of complexity in family functioning that needs greater attention,” she says./36Which of the following demonstrates that working at nonstandard times is taking its toll on American families？AStress on familial relationshipsBRotating shifts.CEvenings，nights

24、，or weekends.DIts consequences.37Which of the following is affected most by working irregular hours？AChildren.BMarriage.CSingle mothers.DWorking women.38Who would be in favor of the practice of working nonstandard hours？AChildren.BParents.CEmployeesDProfessional child providers.39It is implied that

25、the consequences of nonstandard work schedules are .AemphasizedBabsentCneglectedDprevalent40What is the authors attitude towards working irregular hours？APositive.BNegative.CIndifferent.DObjective.Passage TwoMost human beings actual1y decide before they think. When any human being-executive, special

26、ized expert, or person in the street-encounters a complex issue and forms an opinion, often within a matter of seconds, how thoroughly has he or she explored the implications of the various courses of action? Answer: not very thoroughly. Very few people, no matter how inte1ligent or experienced, can

27、 take inventory of the many branching possibilities, possible outcomes, side effects, and undesired consequences of a policy or a course of action in a matter of seconds. Yet, those who pride themse1ves on being decisive often try to do just that. And once their brains lock onto an opinion, most of

28、their thinking thereafter consists of finding support for it.A very serious side effect of argumentative decision making can be a lack of support for the chosen course of action on the pat of the “l(fā)osing” faction. When one faction wins the meeting and the others see themselves as losing, the battle

29、often doesnt end when the meeting ends. Anger, resentment, and jealousy may lead them to sabotage the 4ecision later, or to reopen the debate at later meetings.There is a better. As philosopher Aldous Huxley said, “It isnt who is right, but what is right, that counts.”The structured-inquiry method o

30、ffers a better alternative to argumentative decision making by debate. With the help of the Internet and wireless computer technology the gap between experts and executives is now being dramatically closed. By actually putting the brakes on the thinking process, slowing it down, and organizing the f

31、low of logic, its possible to create a level of clarity that sheer argumentation can never match.The structured-inquiry process introduces a level of conceptual clarity by organizing the contributions of the experts, then brings the experts and the decision makers closer together. Although it isnt p

32、ossible or necessary for a president or prime minister to listen in on every intelligence analysis meeting, its possible to organize the experts information to give the decision maker much greater insight as to its meaning. This process may somewhat resemble a marketing focus group; its a simple, re

33、markably clever way to bring decision makers closer to the source of the expert information and opinions on which they must base their decisions.4lFrom the first paragraph we can learn that .Aexecutive, specialized expert, are no more clever than person in the streetBvery few people dec1de before th

34、ey thinkCthose who pride themselves on being decisive often fail to do soDpeople tend to consider carefully before making decisions42Judging from the context, what does the word “them” (line 4, paragraph 2) refer to?/ADecision makers.BThe “l(fā)osing” faction.CAnger, resentment, and jealousy.DOther peop

All of this will be in the future of sport. The spectator (the television audience) will be the priority and profess

38、ional clubs will have to readjust their structures to adapt to the new reality: sport as a business.The new technologies will mean that spectators will no longer have to wait for broadcasts by the conventional channels. They will be the ones who decide what to see. And they will have to pay for it.

39、In the United States the system of the future has already started: pay-as-you-view. Everything will be offered by television and the spectator will only have to choose. The review Sports Illustrated recently published a full profile of the life of the supporter at home in the middle of the next cent

40、ury. It explained that the consumers would be able to select their view of the match on a gigantic, flat screen occupying the whole of one wall, with images of a clarity which cannot be foreseen at present; they could watch from the trainers stands just behind the batter in a game of baseball or fro

41、m the helmet of the star player in an American football game. And at their disposal will be the sane option s the producer of the recorded programmer has to select replays, to choose which camera to me and to decide on the sound whether to hear the public, the players, the trainer and so on.Many spo

42、rts executives, largely too old and too conservative to feel at home with the new technologies will believe that sport must control the expansion of television coverage in order to survive and ensure that spectators attend matches. They do not even accept the evidence which contradicts their view wh

43、ile there is more basketball than ever on television, for example, it is also certain that basketball is more popular than ever.It is also the argument of these sports executives that television harming the modest teams. This is true, but the future of those team is also modest. They have reached th

44、eir ceiling . It is the law of the market. The great events continually attract larger audience.The world I being constructed on new technologies so that people can make the utmost use of their time and , in their home have access to the greatest possible range of recreational activities. Sport will

45、 have to adapt itself to the new world.The most visionary executives go further. That philosophy is: rather than see television take over sport why not have sports taken over television?46What does the writer mean by use of the phrase “an indissoluble marriage” in the first paragraph?/Asport is comb

49、th, but what is its effect on people? For people who think cooking was the foundation of civilization ,the microwave is the last enemy. The communion of eating togetherIs easily broken by a device that liberates households citizens from waiting for mealtimes. The first great revolution in the histor

50、y of food is in danger of being undone. The companionship of the campfire, cooking pot and common table, which have helped to bond humans in collaborative living for at least 150000 years could be destroyed.Meals have certainly sated from the rise of convenience food. The only meals regularly taken together in Britain these
