Skeptics are stange lotSome of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the enviroment and they are tired of people who disagree with them Those peoplesay skeptics spread noting but bad news about the environmentThe ecoguiltbrought on by the discouraging nes about our planet gives rise to the popularity od skeptice as people search for more comforting worldviews
Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicityThat book The Skeptical Environmentalist declares that it measures the real state of the worldas fine Of course another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special intererts Indeed Mr Lomborg’s views are similar to those of some Industryfunded organizations which start huge activities though the media to confuse the public aboat issues like global warming
So it was strange to see Mr Lomborg’s book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise even with the conclusion that After Lomborg the environmental movement will begin to die down
Such onesided views should have immediately been challenged But only a different review appeared in Nature a respected science magazine with specific readership The review remarked that Mr Lomborg’s preference for unexamined materials is incredible（信）
A critical （批判）eye is valuable and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions Unfortunately that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interest People might become halfblind before a world partially exhibited by the media That’s a shame because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly
72 According to the passage which of the following may be regarded as skeptics
A People who agree on the popularity of ecoguilt
B People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet
C People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities
D People who spread comforting news to protect our environment
73 Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborg’s books
A Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests
B The book challenges views about the fine state of the wirld
C The author convinces people to speak comforting worldviews
D Industry–funded media present confusing information
74 The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to____
A voice a different opinion
B find fault with Lomborg’s book
C challenge the authority of the media
D point out the value of scientific views
75 What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passenger
A To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye
B To warn the public of the danger of half–blindness with reviews
C To blame the media’s lack of responsibility in information
D To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media

Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21yearold twin sons a combination of savings income scholarships and a modest amount of borrowing Then her husband lost his job and the plan fell apart
I have two kids in college and I want to say come home’ but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education says Jacobs
The Jacobs family did work out a solution They asked and received more aid form the schools and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program They will each graduate with 20000 of debt but at least they will be able to finish school
With unemployment rising financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs More students are applying for aid and more families expect to need student loans College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around
At the same time tuition（学费）continues to rise A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439 from 1982 to 2007 while average family income rose just 147 Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade
If we go on this way for another 25years we won’t have an affordable system of higher education says Patrick M Callan president of the center The middle class families have been financing it through debt They will send kids to college whatever it takes even if that means a huge amount of debt
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them The good news however is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted

A The twins wasted too much money
B The father was out of work
C Their saving ran out
D The family fell apart
67 How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem

68 Financial aid administrators believe that _______

C They will try their best to send kids to college
D Their debts will be paid off within 25 years
70According to the last paragraph the government will

The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (18501928) After immigrating form England to the USA and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer he moved to Chicago where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871 In those days it was nicknamed the Garden City almost certainly the source of Howard’s name for his later building plan of towns Returning to London Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s drawing on ideas that were popular at the time but creating a unique combination of designs
The nineteenthcentury poor city was in many ways a terrible place dirty and crowded but it offered economic and social opportunities At the same time the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive though it promised fresh air and nature it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages nor much social life Howard’s idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement the garden city Howard’s idea was that a group of people should set up a company borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price
Garden cities would provide a central public open space radial avenues and connecting industries They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt also owned by the company containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions As more and more people moved in the garden city would reach its planned limitHoward suggested 32000 people then another would be started a short distance away Thus over time there would develop a vast planned house collection extending almost without limit within it each garden city would offer a wide rang of jobs and services but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city
66 How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities
A Through his observation of the country life
B Through the combination of different ideas
C By taking other people’s advice
D By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago
67 The underlined phrase drawing on in Paragraph 1 probably means______
A making use of B making comments on
C giving an explanation of D giving a description of
68 According to Howard garden cities should be built______
A as far as possible from existing cities
B in the countryside where the land was cheap
C in the countryside where agriculture was developed
D near cities where employment opportunities already existed
69 What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph
A Their number would continue to rise
B Each one would continue to become larger
C People would live and work in the same place
D Each one would contain a certain type of business
70 What could be the best title for the passage
A City and Countryside B The Invention of the Garden City
CA New City in Chicago D A Famous Garden City in England

In the animal kingdom weakness can bring about aggression in other animal This sometimes happens with humans also But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people I see it every day when people hold doors for me pour cream into my coffee or help me to put on my coat And I have discovered that it makes them happy
From my wheelchair experience I see the best in people but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily They don’t get to see this soft side of others Often we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness which includes a lot of pretending But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them
Last month when I was driving home on a busy highway I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual People behind me began to get impatient and angry with some speeding up alongside me horning (喇叭) or even shouting at me At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twentyfour years of driving I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed
No more angry shouts and no more horns
When I put on my flashlights I was saying to other drivers I have a problem here I am weak and doing the best I can And everyone understood Several times I saw drivers who wanted to pass They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic But instead of getting impatient and angry they waited knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way But those are few and far between More often it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared
26 The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ______
A they offer their help
B they receive others’ help
C they feel others’ kindness
D they show their weakness
27 The author feels sad sometimes because ______
A he has a soft heart
B he relies much on others
C some people pretend to be kind
D some people fail to see the kindness in others
28 What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights
A They speed up to pass
B They waited with patience
C They tried their best to help
D They put on their flashlights too
29 In this passage the author advises us to ______
A handle problems by ourselves
B accept help from others
C admit our weakness
D show our bravery
30 Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A A Wheelchair Experience
B Weakness and Kindness
C Weakness and Strength
D A Driving Experience
30答案B标题判断题通读全文知作者通次亲身历告诉时候需解需帮助样便会表现出善意面知B项作标题贴切

In the more and more competitive scrvice industry it is no longer enough to promise customrr satisfaction Today customer delighi is what companies are trying to achieve in or order to keep and increase market share
It is accepted in the marketing industry and confirmed by a number of researches that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people those treated badly will tell their tales of woe to up to 20 people 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal
New llenges for customer care have come when peoplecan obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the Intemet For example many companies now have to invest(投资)a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the phone rage—caused by delays in answering calls being cut off in midconversation or left waiting for long periods
Many people do not like talking to machines says Dr Storey Senior Lecturer in Marketng at City University Business School Banks for example encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with them The aim is to make the customet feel they know you and that you can trest— the sort of comfortable feelings people have during facetoface chats with their local branch manager
Recommended ways of creating customer delight include underpromising and overdelivering (saying that a repair will be camed out within five hours but getting it done within two )replacing a faulty product immediately throwing in a gift voucher(购物礼卷)as an unexpected thank you to regntlar customers and always returning calls even when they are complaints
Aiming for customer delight is all very well but if services do not reach the high level promised disappointment or worse will be the result This can be eased by offering an aplogy and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for exampleI know how you must feel) and possible solutions (replacement compensation or whatever faimess suggests best meets the case)
Airlines face some of the tourhest challenges over customer care Fierce competition has convinced them that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather unclaimed luggage and technieal problems
For British Airways staff a winning telephone style is considercd vital in handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times They are trained to answer quickly with their name job title and a we are here to help attitude The company has investod heavily in information technology to make sure that infomation is available instantly on scren
British Airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are
taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service
Customer care is obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as we do as we please On the other hand the more customers are promised the greater the risk of disappointment
50 We can learn from Paragraph 2 that
A complaining customers are hard to satisfy
B unsatisfied customers receive better service
C Satisfied customers catch more attention
D welltreated customers promote business
51 The writer mentions phone rage(Paragraph 3) to show that
A customers often use phones to express their anger
B people still prefer to buy goods online
C customer care becomes more attention
D customers rely on their phones to obtain services
52 What does the writer recommend to create delight
A Calling customers regularly B Giving a thank you note
C Delivering a quicker service D Promising more gifts
53 If a manager should show his empathy (Paragraph6) what would he probably say
AI know how upset you must be BI appreciate your understanding
C I’m sorry for the delay DI know it’s our fault
54 Customer delight is important for airlines because
A their telephone style remains anchanged
B they are more likely to meet with complaints
C the services cost them a lot of money
D the policies can be applied to their staff
55 Which of the following is conveyed in this article
A Facetoface service creatcs comfortable feelings among customers
B Companies that promise more will naturally attract more customers
C A company should promise less but do more in a competitive market
D Customer delight is more important for airlines than for banks

George Prochnik would like the world to put a sock in it He makes his case in a new book Listening for Meaning in a World of Noise Here he explains himself (using his indoor voice)
We’ve become so accustomed to noise there’s almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial If you tell someone to be quiet you sound like an old man But it’s never been more important to find continuing quiet Silence focuses us improves our health and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction
We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little During a Japanese tea ceremony the smallest sounds become a kind of art—the spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl the edges of a kimono(服)brushing against the floor
Deaf people are very attentive(专注)in almost every aspect of life If two deaf people are walking together using sign language they constantly watch out for each other and protect each other by paying steady attention to the other They are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings Even deaf teenagers We in the hearing world can learn from them If we remove the powerful blasts(阵阵)of noise we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around us—of little soft sounds and the sound of footsteps of bird songs and ice cracking(开裂声) It’s astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen
72 What does the phrase to put a sock in it in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A to be quiet B to be colorful
C to be full of love D to be attentive to someone
73 What does Prochnik say about us
A We are used to quietness
B We have to put up with noise
C We do not think silence to be beneficial
D We do not believe lasting peace to be available
74 Which of the following is true according to Prochnik
A We need more sounds in our lives
B There is nothing to be learned from the deaf
C We are not aware how rich the world around us is
D There is too much noise at a Japanese tea ceremony
75 It can be inferred from the text that
A we can benefit a lot from old people
B it is a good idea to use sign language
C there is no escape from the world of sound
D it is possible to find how beautiful things sound

The way we do things round here
Some years ago I was hired by an American bank I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started Dear John I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us That quite saddened me I thought he was saying we＇re kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else Then I discovered that in American English quite sometimes means very while in British English it means fairly
So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don＇t just mean the words people speak It is body language dress manners ideas and so on The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures（文化）．
Some of these differences may be only on the surfacedress food and hours of workwhile others may be deeper and take longer to deal with Mostly it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them like the climate（气候）while getting on with business
Some of the differences may be an improvement People are more polite the service is better you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again However other
differences can be troubling like punctuality（准时）．If you invite people to a party at 7 o＇clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany five minutes early in the
American Midwest an hour early in Japan 15 minutes afterwards in the UK up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece I prefer not to use the word late because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country
52 The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought______．
A the American bank didn＇t think much of him
B the American bank might hire another person
C it＇s difficult to get used to American culture
D it＇s easy to misunderstand Americans

A encourages B helps to narrow
C increases D draws attention to

A Ask the native people for help
B Understand and accept them
C Do things in our own way

About 21000 young people in 17 American states do not attend classes in school buildings
Instead they receive their elementary(初等)and high school education by working at home on computersThe Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public cyberschoolsand that is about twice as many as two years ago
The money for students to attend a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they live Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well
Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school
Whatever the judgement of cyberschoolsthey are getting more and more popular For example a new cyberschool called Commonwealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen
Children get free equipment for their online education This includes a computera printerbooks and technical services Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their computers when necessary

Students and Technology in the Classroom
I love my blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me I also love my laptop computer as it holds all of my writing and thought Despite this love of technology I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device and truly communication with others
On occasion I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom I have a rule —no laptop ipads phones etc When students were told my rule in advance of the class some of them were not happy
Most students assume that year reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology There’s a bit of truth to thatSome students assume that I am antitechnology There’s no truth in that at all I love technology and try to keep up with it so I relate to my students
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas I want students to think differently and make connections between the course the material and the class discussion
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the educations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class but until I hear a really good reason for the change I’m sticking to my plan a few hours of technologyfree dialogue is just too give up
63some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____
A the course material B others’ misuse of technology
C discussion topics D the author’s class regulator

Experience may possibly be the best teacher but it is not a particularly good teacher You might think that Winston Churhill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words but they actually come from James March a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organization decision making For years March( possibly be wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience
He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning Experience is respectedexperience is soughtexperience is explainedThe problem is that learning from experience involves（涉）serious complications（复杂化）ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book
In one interesting part of bookfor examplehe turns a double eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning He saysThe more accurately（精确）reality is presentedthe less understandable the storyand the more understandable the story the less realistic it is
Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher March is also a poet and his gift shines though in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses Though the book is short it is demandingDon’t pick it up looking for quick easy lessons Rather be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life
53According to the text James March is ____________
A a poet who uses experience in his writing
B a teacher who teachers story writing in university
C a researcher who studies the way humans think and act
D a professor who helps organizations make important decisions
54According to James March experience ______________
A is overvalued B is easy to explain
C should be actively sought
55What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A Experience makes stories more accurate
B Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth
C The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning
D Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described
56What’s the purpose of this text

Skeptics are stange lotSome of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the enviroment and they are tired of people who disagree with them Those peoplesay skeptics spread noting but bad news about the environmentThe ecoguiltbrought on by the discouraging nes about our planet gives rise to the popularity od skeptice as people search for more comforting worldviews
Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicityThat book The Skeptical Environmentalist declares that it measures the real state of the worldas fine Of course another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special intererts Indeed Mr Lomborg’s views are similar to those of some Industryfunded organizations which start huge activities though the media to confuse the public aboat issues like global warming
So it was strange to see Mr Lomborg’s book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise even with the conclusion that After Lomborg the environmental movement will begin to die down
Such onesided views should have immediately been challenged But only a different review appeared in Nature a respected science magazine with specific readership The review remarked that Mr Lomborg’s preference for unexamined materials is incredible（信）
A critical （批判）eye is valuable and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions Unfortunately that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interest People might become halfblind before a world partially exhibited by the media That’s a shame because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly
72 According to the passage which of the following may be regarded as skeptics
A People who agree on the popularity of ecoguilt
B People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet
C People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities
D People who spread comforting news to protect our environment
73 Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborg’s books
A Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests
B The book challenges views about the fine state of the wirld
C The author convinces people to speak comforting worldviews
D Industry–funded media present confusing information
74 The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to____
A voice a different opinion
B find fault with Lomborg’s book
C challenge the authority of the media
D point out the value of scientific views
75 What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passenger
A To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye
B To warn the public of the danger of half–blindness with reviews
C To blame the media’s lack of responsibility in information
D To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media

However when the two men first met they never talked about climbing He knew that was how I got injured Wellman said Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they started training

Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21yearold twin sons a combination of savings income scholarships and a modest amount of borrowing Then her husband lost his job and the plan fell apart
I have two kids in college and I want to say come home’ but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education says Jacobs
The Jacobs family did work out a solution They asked and received more aid form the schools and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program They will each graduate with 20000 of debt but at least they will be able to finish school
With unemployment rising financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs More students are applying for aid and more families expect to need student loans College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around
At the same time tuition（学费）continues to rise A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439 from 1982 to 2007 while average family income rose just 147 Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade
If we go on this way for another 25years we won’t have an affordable system of higher education says Patrick M Callan president of the center The middle class families have been financing it through debt They will send kids to college whatever it takes even if that means a huge amount of debt
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them The good news however is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted
66 According to Paragraph 1 why did the plan of Jacobs family fail
A The twins wasted too much money
B The father was out of work
C Their saving ran out
D The family fell apart
67 How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem
A They asked their kids to come home
B They borrowed 20000 from the school

68 Financial aid administrators believe that _______
A more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses
B the government will receive more letters of complaint
C college tuition fees will double soon
D America’s unemployment will fall
69What can we learn about the middle class families from the text
A They blamed the government for the tuition increase
B Their income remained steady in the last decade
C They will try their best to send kids to college
D Their debts will be paid off within 25 years
70According to the last paragraph the government will
A provide most students will scholarships

The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (18501928) After immigrating form England to the USA and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer he moved to Chicago where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871 In those days it was nicknamed the Garden City almost certainly the source of Howard’s name for his later building plan of towns Returning to London Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s drawing on ideas that were popular at the time but creating a unique combination of designs
The nineteenthcentury poor city was in many ways a terrible place dirty and crowded but it offered economic and social opportunities At the same time the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive though it promised fresh air and nature it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages nor much social life Howard’s idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement the garden city Howard’s idea was that a group of people should set up a company borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price
Garden cities would provide a central public open space radial avenues and connecting industries They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt also owned by the company containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions As more and more people moved in the garden city would reach its planned limitHoward suggested 32000 people then another would be started a short distance away Thus over time there would develop a vast planned house collection extending almost without limit within it each garden city would offer a wide rang of jobs and services but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city
66 How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities
A Through his observation of the country life
B Through the combination of different ideas
C By taking other people’s advice
D By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago
67 The underlined phrase drawing on in Paragraph 1 probably means______
A making use of B making comments on
C giving an explanation of D giving a description of
68 According to Howard garden cities should be built______
A as far as possible from existing cities
B in the countryside where the land was cheap
C in the countryside where agriculture was developed
D near cities where employment opportunities already existed
69 What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph
A Their number would continue to rise
B Each one would continue to become larger
C People would live and work in the same place
D Each one would contain a certain type of business
70 What could be the best title for the passage
A City and Countryside B The Invention of the Garden City
CA New City in Chicago D A Famous Garden City in England

In the animal kingdom weakness can bring about aggression in other animal This sometimes happens with humans also But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people I see it every day when people hold doors for me pour cream into my coffee or help me to put on my coat And I have discovered that it makes them happy
From my wheelchair experience I see the best in people but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily They don’t get to see this soft side of others Often we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness which includes a lot of pretending But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them
Last month when I was driving home on a busy highway I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual People behind me began to get impatient and angry with some speeding up alongside me horning (喇叭) or even shouting at me At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twentyfour years of driving I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed
No more angry shouts and no more horns
When I put on my flashlights I was saying to other drivers I have a problem here I am weak and doing the best I can And everyone understood Several times I saw drivers who wanted to pass They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic But instead of getting impatient and angry they waited knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way But those are few and far between More often it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared
26 The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ______
A they offer their help
B they receive others’ help
C they feel others’ kindness
D they show their weakness
27 The author feels sad sometimes because ______
A he has a soft heart
B he relies much on others
C some people pretend to be kind
D some people fail to see the kindness in others
28 What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights
A They speed up to pass
B They waited with patience
C They tried their best to help
D They put on their flashlights too
29 In this passage the author advises us to ______
A handle problems by ourselves
B accept help from others
C admit our weakness
D show our bravery
30 Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A A Wheelchair Experience
B Weakness and Kindness
C Weakness and Strength
D A Driving Experience

In the more and more competitive scrvice industry it is no longer enough to promise customrr satisfaction Today customer delighi is what companies are trying to achieve in or order to keep and increase market share
It is accepted in the marketing industry and confirmed by a number of researches that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people those treated badly will tell their tales of woe to up to 20 people 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal
New llenges for customer care have come when peoplecan obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the Intemet For example many companies now have to invest(投资)a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the phone rage—caused by delays in answering calls being cut off in midconversation or left waiting for long periods
Many people do not like talking to machines says Dr Storey Senior Lecturer in Marketng at City University Business School Banks for example encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with them The aim is to make the customet feel they know you and that you can trest— the sort of comfortable feelings people have during facetoface chats with their local branch manager
Recommended ways of creating customer delight include underpromising and overdelivering (saying that a repair will be camed out within five hours but getting it done within two )replacing a faulty product immediately throwing in a gift voucher(购物礼卷)as an unexpected thank you to regntlar customers and always returning calls even when they are complaints
Aiming for customer delight is all very well but if services do not reach the high level promised disappointment or worse will be the result This can be eased by offering an aplogy and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for exampleI know how you must feel) and possible solutions (replacement compensation or whatever faimess suggests best meets the case)
Airlines face some of the tourhest challenges over customer care Fierce competition has convinced them that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather unclaimed luggage and technieal problems
For British Airways staff a winning telephone style is considercd vital in handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times They are trained to answer quickly with their name job title and a we are here to help attitude The company has investod heavily in information technology to make sure that infomation is available instantly on scren
British Airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are
taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service
Customer care is obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as we do as we please On the other hand the more customers are promised the greater the risk of disappointment
50 We can learn from Paragraph 2 that
A complaining customers are hard to satisfy
B unsatisfied customers receive better service
C Satisfied customers catch more attention
D welltreated customers promote business
51 The writer mentions phone rage(Paragraph 3) to show that
A customers often use phones to express their anger
B people still prefer to buy goods online
C customer care becomes more attention
D customers rely on their phones to obtain services
52 What does the writer recommend to create delight
A Calling customers regularly B Giving a thank you note
C Delivering a quicker service D Promising more gifts
53 If a manager should show his empathy (Paragraph6) what would he probably say
AI know how upset you must be BI appreciate your understanding
C I’m sorry for the delay DI know it’s our fault
54 Customer delight is important for airlines because
A their telephone style remains anchanged
B they are more likely to meet with complaints
C the services cost them a lot of money
D the policies can be applied to their staff
55 Which of the following is conveyed in this article
A Facetoface service creatcs comfortable feelings among customers
B Companies that promise more will naturally attract more customers
C A company should promise less but do more in a competitive market
D Customer delight is more important for airlines than for banks

George Prochnik would like the world to put a sock in it He makes his case in a new book Listening for Meaning in a World of Noise Here he explains himself (using his indoor voice)
We’ve become so accustomed to noise there’s almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial If you tell someone to be quiet you sound like an old man But it’s never been more important to find continuing quiet Silence focuses us improves our health and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction
We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little During a Japanese tea ceremony the smallest sounds become a kind of art—the spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl the edges of a kimono(服)brushing against the floor
Deaf people are very attentive(专注)in almost every aspect of life If two deaf people are walking together using sign language they constantly watch out for each other and protect each other by paying steady attention to the other They are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings Even deaf teenagers We in the hearing world can learn from them If we remove the powerful blasts(阵阵)of noise we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around us—of little soft sounds and the sound of footsteps of bird songs and ice cracking(开裂声) It’s astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen
72 What does the phrase to put a sock in it in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A to be quiet B to be colorful
C to be full of love D to be attentive to someone
73 What does Prochnik say about us
A We are used to quietness
B We have to put up with noise
C We do not think silence to be beneficial
D We do not believe lasting peace to be available
74 Which of the following is true according to Prochnik
A We need more sounds in our lives
B There is nothing to be learned from the deaf
C We are not aware how rich the world around us is
D There is too much noise at a Japanese tea ceremony
75 It can be inferred from the text that
A we can benefit a lot from old people
B it is a good idea to use sign language
C there is no escape from the world of sound
D it is possible to find how beautiful things sound

The way we do things round here
Some years ago I was hired by an American bank I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started Dear John I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us That quite saddened me I thought he was saying we＇re kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else Then I discovered that in American English quite sometimes means very while in British English it means fairly
So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don＇t just mean the words people speak It is body language dress manners ideas and so on The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures（文化）．
Some of these differences may be only on the surfacedress food and hours of workwhile others may be deeper and take longer to deal with Mostly it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them like the climate（气候）while getting on with business
Some of the differences may be an improvement People are more polite the service is better you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again However other
differences can be troubling like punctuality（准时）．If you invite people to a party at 7 o＇clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany five minutes early in the
American Midwest an hour early in Japan 15 minutes afterwards in the UK up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece I prefer not to use the word late because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country
52 The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought______．
A the American bank didn＇t think much of him
B the American bank might hire another person
C it＇s difficult to get used to American culture

A encourages B helps to narrow
C increases D draws attention to

A Ask the native people for help
B Understand and accept them
C Do things in our own way

About 21000 young people in 17 American states do not attend classes in school buildings
Instead they receive their elementary(初等)and high school education by working at home on computersThe Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public cyberschoolsand that is about twice as many as two years ago
The money for students to attend a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they live Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well

Students and Technology in the Classroom
I love my blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me I also love my laptop computer as it holds all of my writing and thought Despite this love of technology I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device and truly communication with others
On occasion I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom I have a rule —no laptop ipads phones etc When students were told my rule in advance of the class some of them were not happy
Most students assume that year reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology There’s a bit of truth to thatSome students assume that I am antitechnology There’s no truth in that at all I love technology and try to keep up with it so I relate to my students
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas I want students to think differently and make connections between the course the material and the class discussion
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the educations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class but until I hear a really good reason for the change I’m sticking to my plan a few hours of technologyfree dialogue is just too give up
63some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____
A the course material B others’ misuse of technology
C discussion topics D the author’s class regulator
64the underlined word engage in para4 probably means ____
A explore B accept C change D reject
65according to the author the use of technology in the classroom may ____
A keep students from doing independent thinking
B encourage students to have indepth conversations
C help students to better understand complex themes
D affect students’ concentration on course evaluation
66it can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ____
A is quite stubborn
B will give up teaching history
C will change his teaching plan soon
D values technologyfree dialogues in his class

Experience may possibly be the best teacher but it is not a particularly good teacher You might think that Winston Churhill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words but they actually come from James March a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organization decision making For years March( possibly be wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience
He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning Experience is respectedexperience is soughtexperience is explainedThe problem is that learning from experience involves（涉）serious complications（复杂化）ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book
In one interesting part of bookfor examplehe turns a double eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning He saysThe more accurately（精确）reality is presentedthe less understandable the storyand the more understandable the story the less realistic it is
Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher March is also a poet and his gift shines though in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses Though the book is short it is demandingDon’t pick it up looking for quick easy lessons Rather be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life
53According to the text James March is ____________
A a poet who uses experience in his writing
B a teacher who teachers story writing in university
C a researcher who studies the way humans think and act
D a professor who helps organizations make important decisions
54According to James March experience ______________
A is overvalued B is easy to explain
C should be actively sought
55What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A Experience makes stories more accurate
B Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth
C The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning
D Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described
56What’s the purpose of this text
