Section B（22分）
Directions: Read the following 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 just read.
[A]
In reading the world’s great literature on human excellence and personal success I’ve found that, in order to launch ourselves into a life of true success, we need to satisfy one basic condition: pursue our goals with perseverance. The biggest difference between people who succeed and those who don’t is not usually talent but persistence.
On my way to work one morning, I met Ruby, who is now a motivational speaker. He has grown up in Joliet, listening to stories about University of Notre Dame (圣母大学), and dreaming of one day playing football there. Friends told him he wasn’t a good enough student to be admitted. So he gave up his dream and went to work in a power plant.
Then a friend was killed in an accident to work. Shocked, Ruby suddenly realized that life is too short not to pursue your dreams. In 1990, at the age of 23, he enrolled at Holy Cross Junior College in South Bend, Indiana. He got good enough grades to transfer to Notre Dame, where he finally made the football team as a member of the “scout team”, the players who helped the team prepare for games.
Ruby was living his dream, almost. But he wasn’t allowed to suit up for the games themselves. The next year, after Ruby requested it, the coach told Ruby he could put on his uniform for the season’s final game. And there he sat, on the Notre Dame bench during the game. A student started shouting, “we want Ruby!” Soon others joined in. Finally, at the age of 27, with 27 seconds left to play, Ruby was sent onto the field—and made the final tackle (阻截). So his team won the game.
When I met Ruby 17 years later, it was in the parking lot outside Notre Dame stadium, where a camera crew was filming scenes for Rudy, a motion picture about his life. His story illustrates that there is no limit to where your dreams can take you.
30. The writer believes that the key to achieving success is_________.
A. developing one’s talent B. seizing opportunities
C. having wide vision D. sticking to one’s goal
31. According to the passage, Rudy once gave up his dream of playing football for Notre Dame because_________.
A. his friend was killed there B. his foot was injured in an accident
C. he lacked confidence in himself D. he failed in the entrance examination
32. What does the passage mainly discuss about Rudy?
A. He was the oldest player at Notre Dame.
B. He succeeded in realizing his dream.
C. He was the best speaker at Notre Dame.
D. He succeeded in developing his ability.
【30~32题答案】
【答案】30. D 31. C 32. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章通过Ruby的经历告诉我们：成功的关键是用顽强的意志和坚持不懈的精神来追求梦想。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“we need to satisfy one basic condition: pursue our goals with perseverance. The biggest difference between people who succeed and those who don’t is not usually talent but persistence. (我们需要满足一个基本条件：坚持不懈地追求目标。成功者和不成功者之间最大的区别通常不是天赋而是毅力)”可知，作者认为成功的关键是坚持不懈地追求目标。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Friends told him he wasn’t a good enough student to be admitted. So he gave up his dream and went to work in a power plant. (朋友们告诉他，他不够好，不能被录取。所以他放弃了他的梦想，去了一家发电厂工作)”可知，Rudy曾经放弃去圣母大学踢球的梦想是因为朋友告诉他他不够好，即他当时不相信自己，缺乏自信。故选C。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第二段的“He has grown up in Joliet, listening to stories about University of Notre Dame (圣母大学), and dreaming of one day playing football there. (他在乔利特长大，经常听关于圣母大学的故事，梦想有一天在那里踢足球)”和倒数第二段的“Finally, at the age of 27, with 27 seconds left to play, Ruby was sent onto the field—and made the final tackle (阻截). So his team won the game. (最后，在27岁的时候，在比赛还剩27秒的时候，Ruby被派上了球场，完成了最后一次阻截。 所以他的球队赢了比赛)”可知，文章讲述了Ruby因为对梦想坚持不懈的追求，最后取得成功的故事。故选B。
[B]
Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.
Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines how people react in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.
United Arab Emirates
In the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(手肘)and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.
Switzerland
The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They are also respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for other’s time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes earlier to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.
33. The passage is mainly about_________.
A. communication types B. the workplace atmosphere
C. customs and social manners D. living conditions and standards
34. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?
A. They put efficiency in the first place.
B. They dislike face-to-face communication.
C. They want to finish meetings are quickly as possible.
D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.
35. In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?
A. When greeting seniors. B. When meeting the host alone.
C. When attending a presentation. D. When dining with business partners.
36. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?
A. In Singapore. B. In the United Arab Emirate.
C. In Switzerland. D. Not mentioned.
【33~36题答案】

【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines how people react in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.(等级很重要，权威受到尊重。这决定了人们在会面时的反应。例如，人们避免直接与上级意见相左)”可知，新加坡人不愿和老板争吵因为他们应该服从级别更高的人。故选D。
35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.(当一对一会面时，如果主人给你咖啡，你应该拒绝。这可能看起来很奇怪，但这是一种文化传统。只有当咖啡总是摆放或赠送时才可以接受)”可知，在阿联酋，如果被提供了咖啡，与主人单独见面时可以拒绝。故选B。
【36题详解】

Unhappy people glue themselves to the television 30 percent more than happy people. The finding, announced on Thursday, comes from a survey of nearly 30,000 American adults as part of the General Social Survey.
While happy people reported watching an average of 19 hours of television per week, unhappy people reported 25 hours a week. The results hardly change after taking into account education, income, age and marital status.
In addition, happy individuals were more socially active, attended more religious services, voted more and read a newspaper more often that their less-chipper ones.
The researchers are not sure, though, whether unhappiness leads to more television-watching or more viewing leads to unhappiness. In fact, people say they like watching television. The research has shown that when people watch television they enjoy it. In these studies, 9 in 10 participants reported that on a scale from 0(dislike) to 10 (greatly enjoy), TV-watching was nearly an 8.
But perhaps the high from watching television doesn’t last.
“These conflicting data suggest that TV may provide viewers with short-run pleasure, but at the expense of long-term malaise (不舒服),” said researcher John Robinson, a sociologist at the University of Maryland, College Park.
In this scenario, even the happiest campers could have a bad mood if they continue to stare at the TV. The researchers suggest that over time, television-viewing could push out other activities that do have more lasting benefits. Exercise and reading come to mind, as do parties and other forms of socialization known to have psychological benefits.
Or, maybe television is simply an escape for people who are already unhappy.
“TV is not judgmental nor difficult, so people with few social skills or resources for other activities can engage in it,” Robinson write in the December issue of the journal Social Indicators Research.
They add, “Furthermore, short-run unhappiness can be socially and personally debilitated by many positive social and personal activities. However, even the unhappiest people can click a remote and be passively entertained by a TV.”
The researchers say follow-up studies are needed to find out more facts about the issue.
37. The passage is mainly about_________.

A. watching TV doesn’t require intelligence and is passive activity
B. watching TV keeps people from doing other meaningful things

40. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

【37~40题答案】
【答案】37. A 38. C 39. B 40. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述一项研究结果显示，不快乐的人更看电视，但目前研究人员还不确定究竟是不快乐导致人们更爱看电视，还是看电视过多导致人们不快乐，还需进一步的研究理清两者的关系。
【37题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合文章第一句“Unhappy people glue themselves to the television 30 percent more than happy people.(不快乐的人看电视的时间比快乐的人多30%)”及第四段中“The researchers are not sure, though, whether unhappiness leads to more television-watching or more viewing leads to unhappiness.(但目前研究人员还不确定究竟是不快乐导致人们更爱看电视，还是看电视过多导致人们不快乐)”可知，文章主要讨论看电视和不快乐之间的关系。故选A项。
【38题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段内容“In addition, happy individuals were more socially active, attended more religious services, voted more and read a newspaper more often than their less-chipper ones.(此外，与不快乐的人相比，快乐的人在社交方面更为活跃，参加更多的宗教活动和投票选举，并且更爱读报纸。)”可知，社交及个人活动能让人更快乐，结合划线词后的“many positive social and personal activities(很多积极的社交及个人活动)”可推知，划线词所在句意为：此外，短期的不快乐可以被许多积极的社会和个人活动削弱。debilitated意为“减弱”。故选C项。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第七段中“The researchers suggest that over time, television-viewing could push out other activities that do have more lasting benefits. Exercise and reading come to mind, as do parties and other forms of socialization known to have psychological benefits.(研究人员表示，随着时间的推移，看电视可能会挤掉其他确实有更持久益处的活动。我想到了锻炼和阅读，也想到了聚会和其他被认为对心理有益的社交活动。)”可知，看电视会导致不快乐，有一种说法是因为看电视使人们无法做其他有意义的事情。故选B项。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“These conflicting data suggest that TV may provide viewers with short-run pleasure, but at the expense of long-term malaise (不舒服)(这些互相矛盾的数据表明，看电视可能会给人带来短暂的愉悦感，但代价就是长期的不舒服)”可知，看电视能带来短暂的快乐，但不能带来持久的快乐。故选D项。
