Reading Comprehension （每題1分，共30分）Passage OneSince we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties? Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely. Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and coworkers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting（轉(zhuǎn)移注意力）us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental supportmoney aid, material resources, and needed servicesthat reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems. (1) Interpersonal relationships are important because they can . A.make people live more easilyB.smooth away daily problemsC.deal with life changesD.cure types of illnesses (2) The researches show that peoples physical and mental health . A.lies in the social medical care systems which support themB.has much to do with the amount of support they get from othersC.depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troublesD.is related to their courage for dealing with major life changes (3) Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “cushions” in Paragraph 27 A.takes the place of B.takes care of C.lessens the effect of D.gets rid of (4) Helping fl sick neighbor with some repair work in spare time is an example of A.instrumental supportB.informational supportC.social companionshipD.the strengthening of self-respect (5) What is the subject discussed in the text? A.Interpersonal relationship.B.Kinds of social support.C.Ways to deal with stress.D.Effects of stressful conditions.Passage TwoEight-year-old Bethany and seven-year-old Eliza are having a great time jumping around in the orchard of their home in a village near Penrith. They can play any time they like because they dont go to school. Instead, they are educated at home by their parents, Paul and Veronika Robinson. But they dont have lessons, have never used a timetable and learn only what and when they want to learn.I want my kids to have freedom in their childhood, not spend it in an institution, says 37-year-old Veronika, School is all about control and following the rules. Veronika and her 56-year-old husband Paul have never experienced the daily rush to get dressed and out of the door that is common in most households with school-aged children. We get up at our leisure - usually around 8:30, says Veronika. We might visit a friend, or go to the library, and on Tuesdays we shop at the market. In summer, we spend most of our time outside and the girls entertain themselves a lot.New research due to be published this spring reveals a very different picture of Britains home educators. Out of 297 families, 184 said that they never use a timetable, says Mike Fortune-Wood of Home Education UK. Ninety per cent never or rarely use textbooks, and nearly all said that happiness, contentment and self-fulfillment were more important than academic achievement. Only 15% felt that planning what to learn was crucial.So far, so good. But what, you might ask, are the children actually learning?It wasnt important to me that the girls could read by a certain age, but they both picked it up for themselves at around seven, says Robinson. Weighing cooking ingredients uses maths, and making a shopping list teaches them to write. Observing five hens has taught the girls about survival of the fittest. But what about when the children grow up? Can they go to university? The home educators answer is they can if they want to. There are a variety of routes into higher education, but probably the most common is to join a local college. This is what Gus Harris-Reid has done. I was educated at home all my life. Id never had a lesson or been inside a classroom until I started GCSEs, says the 18-year-old. Im now studying for 4 A-levels at Exeter College. Ive had no problem with the work or with fitting in. When asked to reflect on his experience of home education, his considered response is, Like a permanent holiday, really! Not a bad start for someone who plans to take a mechanical engineering degree next year. (6) What is the topic of this article? A.New ways of learning to read and writeB.Problems with UK schoolsC.Home education in the UKD.Wild, undisciplined children (7) Why do the Robinsons not send their children to school? A.They think schools control children too much.B.They do not like the courses taught in schools.C.They want to teach their children farming skills.D.They live in a remote area where there are no schools. (8) According to the article, in homes with school-going children, _. A.mornings are rushed and stressful.B.the children hardly ever go outside.C.the family wakes up around 8:30am.D.the children must ask permission to go to the toilet. (9) Which of the following statements is NOT true? A.Most home educators believe that happiness is more important than good grades.B.Most home educators believe that planning is important.C.Most home educators do not follow a timetable or use textbooks.D.Most home educators are not worried about when their children learn to read and write. (10) What does the article say about home-educated children getting into university? A.They learn so many useful skills at home that universities are happy to accept them.B.They can get into university if they have 4 A-levels.C.They can go to school later and get the qualifications they need in order to enter university.D.Home education is so relaxed that they are likely to experience problems when faced with the pressures of a degree course.Passage Three When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well,its so-and-sos fault.”or “I know Im late，but its not my fault；the car broke down.”It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However,you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winners key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on the person. You should accept that the person. Ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all aboutcreatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success. (11) According to the passage, winners . A.deal with problems rather than blame othersB.meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC.have responsible and able colleaguesD.blame themselves rather that others (12) The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to . A.avoid B.accept C.improve D.consider (13) When your colleague brings about a problem, you should . A.find a better way to handle the problemB.blame him for his lack of responsibilityC.tell him to find the cause of the problemD.ask a more able colleague for help (14) When problems occur, winners take them as A.excuses for their failuresB.barriers to greater powerC.challenges to their colleaguesD.chances for self-development (15) Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.A Winners Secret. B.A Winners Problem. C.A Winners Opportunity. D.A Winners Achievement. Passage FourSuppose a key man in your firm had just met with a terrible accident.
