Success or failure in your work would depend, to 41 great extent, on your ability to use your strengths and weaknesses to the best advantage. Of the utmost importance is your attitude. A person 42 begins a job convinced that he isn't going to like it or is 43 that he is going to ail is exhibiting a weakness which can only hinder his success. On the other hand, a person who is secure in his belief that he is probably as capable 44 doing the work as anyone else and who is willing to make a cheerful attempt at it possesses a certain strength of purpose. The chances are that he will do well. 45 the prerequisite skills for a particular job is strength. Lacking those skills is obviously a weakness. A bookkeeper who can't add or a carpenter who can't cut a straight line with a saw 46 hopeless cases. This book has been designed to help you capitalize on the strength and overcome the 47 that you bring to the job of learning. But in groups to measure your development, you must first take stock of where you stand now. 48 we get further along in the book, we'll be dealing in some details with specific processes for developing and strengthening 49 skills. However, to begin with, you should pause to examine your present strengths and weaknesses in three areas that are critical to your success or failure in school: your 50 , your reading and communication skills, and your study habits. 41. A. a B. the C. some D. certain 42. A. who B. what C. that D. which 43. A. ensure B. certain C. sure D. surely 44. A. to B. at C. of D. for 45. A. Have B. Had C. Having D. Had been 46.

A. intelligence B. work C. attitude D. weakness IV. Reading Comprehension (2’× 10) Directions: There are several passages followed by twenty questions or unfinished statement, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on your answer sheet. TEXT A While aircraft have evolved from primitive biplanes to modern jets, runways have changed little since the Wright brothers took flight. Now, finally, a licensed pilot named Jim L. Starry has reinvented the runway. His airport design, called Starport, could reduce energy use, air pollution, and noise. Starry’s simple design takes advantage of gravity: From the top of a 20-story terminal, planes roll down a slopping runway to gather speed for takeoff. On landing, they slow down by rolling uphill to the terminal. In Starport, the runways are slightly concave, to help planes stay centered, and are wide where the planes touch down, but narrow as they approach the rooftop gates. Passengers reach the gates by taking elevators from parking areas, shops, and restaurants in the terminal’s lower levels. Because the Starport runways would not be steep enough to bring planes to a complete stop, Starry has designed 800-pound brake-accelerator wheels that would not only slow planes on landing, but would also generate electricity as the wheels spin. The stored electricity could be used for sliding. “From the moment you touch down, you could turn off the turbine,” says Starry. A 747 landing on a flat runway currently burns about 48 gallons of fuel when 4 the pilot reverses the engines’ thrust. Starry claims his redesigned wheels and runways could reduce the amount of fuel required for landing by about 25 percent--- saving as much as 300 million gallons annually at an airport the size of Denver’s new facility, which will open in late 1994 with 84 gates. The reduced fuel consumption would also improve air quality. Noise pollution would decrease too, because on takeoff planes could coast 10,000 feet before switching to full thrust. A Starport would require less land than conventional designs like Denver’s new 53-square-mile airport. But although airport planners are reviewing his concept, none has yet been willing to build and test a Starport prototype. 51. While aircraft have gone through enormous changes, __________. A. airport have also taken on striking new looks. B. A revolution has begun in airport design, with the Starport being the first of its kind C. Airports have remained relatively unchanged D. Runways today are the same as they were when the Wright brothers took flight 52. The reduced fuel consumption by 25 percent would be possible only _________. A． with slopping runways B． with the turbine turned off on touching the ground C． with plane wheels generating electricity for sliding D． with Starry’s redesigned runways and brake-accelerator wheels 53. All but one of the following are true of the Starport. The exception is __________. A． for all the benefits brought about by the Starport, the reinvented runways should receive all the credit B． the Starport would look different from conventional airports in shape C． the Starport runways would control aircraft in some ways D． the new design would eventually facilitate environmental protection TEXT B A weather map is an important tool for geographers. A succession of three or four maps presents a continuous picture of weather changes. Weather forecasters are able to determine the speed of air masses and fronts. They are also able to determine whether an air mass is retaining its original characteristics or taking on those of the surface over which it is moving. Thus, a most significant function of the map is to reveal an synoptic picture of conditions in the atmosphere at a given time. All students of geography should be able to interpret a weather map accurately. Weather maps contain an enormous amount of information about weather conditions existing at the time of observation over a large geographical area. They reveal in a few minutes what otherwise would take hours to describe. The United States Weather Bureau issues information about approaching storms, floods, frosts, droughts and all climate conditions in general. Twice a month it issues a 30-day “outlook” which is a rough guide to weather conditions likely to occur over broad areas of the United States. These outlooks are based on an analysis of the upper air levels. With the use of electronic instruments and satellites, enormous gains have taken place recently in identifying and tracking storms over regions which have but few meteorological stations. Experiments are also in progress for weather modification studies, although few successful results such as artificial rainmaking have been achieved so far. 54. One characteristic of weather maps not mentioned in this passage is __________. A. fronts B. temperature change C. wind speed D. frost 55. The thirty-day forecast is made by examining __________. A. daily weather maps B. upper air levels 5 C. satellite reports D. changing fronts 56. The observation of weather conditions by satellites is advantageous because __________. A． it is modern and sophisticated B． it uses electronic instruments C． it enables man to alter the weather D． it gives the scientist information not obtained readily otherwise 57. At the present time, experiments are being conducted in _________. A. manipulating weather B. improving satellites C. determining density D. controlling storms TEXT C In summary, the techniques for the reduction of prejudice are as broad and varied as the causes. The evidence of the effectiveness of various approaches remains indefinite, and research evidence presents conflicting results. However, there is some agreement that prejudice can be reduced under the broad conditions of equal-status contact, where people work together under cooperative conditions; where role positions are equal and complementary; where past experiences have not been too damaging; where the people have knowledge about the other group so that feedback is positive and stereotypes do not develop. But, as we emphasize, such conditions are quite difficult to achieve in modern-day America. There is one grave concern about the problem of prejudice in our complicated social system. A non-prejudiced leader cannot do much in reshaping an institution in terms of racism; perhaps his power is essentially negative in that he can prevent certain things from happening. Conversely, an extremely prejudiced person can wield a great deal of influence over racist practices. To think of the actions of extremely prejudiced individuals in positions of great power is frightening. We would also emphasize that very few researchers today would defend the position that prejudice is the sole or the main cause of racist behavior. However, it remains so one important factor among a complex of other factors that contribute to the problem. 58. The approaches to reducing prejudice are ineffective because __________. A． its causes are broad and varied B． the evidence of the effectiveness remains indefinite C． research evidence of the effectiveness remains indefinite D． it involves the change of an individual’s position 59. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A． A non-prejudiced leader cannot exert much influence over racism. B． A non-prejudiced leader is unable to prevent certain things from happening because his power is negative. C． An extremely prejudiced person can exercise great influence on racist practices. D． Racist behavior results mainly from prejudice. 60. The main idea of this selection is that _________. A． stress on equality is the most effective way to solve the problem of prejudice B． prejudice constitutes one grave issue in our complicated social system C． none of the techniques for reducing prejudice is completely effective D． a non-prejudiced leader and an extremely prejudiced person play different roles in the matter of racism 6 得 分 评卷人 V.
