 [单选题]Job or Money?


  Would you quit your job if you didn't need the money? In a 1990 poll by the Gallop Organization, many people said quitting work was an important reason to be rich. Yet researchers find that work is one of life's chief satisfactions for people.


  Consider W. Berry Fowler. In 1979, Fowler started a tutoring company that became so successful he was able to sell out and retire in 1978—a multimillionaire at 40. He bought a 50-foot cabin cruiser and a house in Hawaii,and busied himself vacationing.


  But after five years of perpetual vacation, Fowler began to miss the challenges of work. So in 1992, he bought a fitness chain for children and now spends 75 hours a week immersed in balance sheets and staff meetings. "My best days on the golf course weren't half as much fun as a good day at the office,"he says.


  A job, studies show, is more than a paycheck. Doing something well can increase confidence and self-worth. When sociologist H.Ray Kaplan surveyed 139 lottery millionaires, he discovered 60 percent continued working at least a year after they'd won.


  If jobs are so important, wouldn't salary size be a gauge of job satisfaction? Americans think so. A survey conducted last year by Roper Starch Worldwide, Inc., found that almost 70 percent of the respondents said they would be happier if their families had twice as much household income. Yet studies show that job satisfaction comes less from how much people earn than from the challenge of their jobs and the control they are able to exert, Work that doesn't engage a person will never seem rewarding,no matter how lucrative it becomes.


  Berry Fowler was no longer busy after he retired.()。

  [单选题]They Say Ireland's the Best


  Ireland is the best place in the world to live for 2005, according to a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain’s E-conomist magazine last week.


  The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the World is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being.


  The index of 111 countries uses data on incomes, health, unemployment, climate, political stability Job security ,gender equality as well as what the magazine calls "freedom, family and community life".


  Despite the bad weather, troubled health service, traffic congestion, gender inequality, and the high cost of living,Ireland scored an impressive 8. 33 points out of 10.


  That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland, which managed 8. 07. Zimbabwe, troubled by political insecurity and hunger,is rated the gloomiest,picking up only 3. 89 points.


  “Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued,”the report said,"some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown in traditional institutions and family values in part take away from a positive impact.”


  “Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old, such as stable family and community life.”


  The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do.and that its findings would have their critics.


  No.2 on the list is Switzerland. The other nations in the top 10 are Norway, Luxembourg. Sweden, Australia, Iceland. Italy,Denmark and Spain.


  The U. K. is positioned at No. 29,a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics. The U. S. , which has the second highest per capita GDP after Luxembourg, took the 13th place in the survey. China was in the lower half of the league at 60th.


  Cost of living in lreland is pretty high.()。

  [单选题]Cyberlove


  Thanks to the late 20th century technology, Maria of Denmark and Martijin of Holland met on a chatline. For months they’ve talked and sent letters to each other with the help of their computers as they found themselves falling head over heels in love. ___1____It was not easy to arrange as the young man and his lady were separated by 700 very real kilometers, but the date was a success and Maria and Martijin have been living together happily ever since. They’ve created a home page to let the world know how they’ve found happiness via the Internet and introduce couples who’ve met under similar circumstances.


  ____2____ Internet romance,according to some,is a bizarre method,and to others it is a naturally way for the 90’s to meet potential mates.


  Romances formed on the Internet follow a characteristic script.___3____ “Love at first byte” is rare although there are examples. The initial light exchanges, whether by e-mail or in chat rooms,are generally followed by increasingly self-revealing topics,and then after a while,the two strangers perceive each other as a true friend. Hearts open,an avalanche of e-mail crosses cyberspace carrying literary quality, and electronic messages are even enhanced with verses and virtual gifts (flowers, kisses, animated pictures). ____4___When you reach for the mouse with sweaty palms and butterflies in the stomach to look in the in-box for new mail — there’s just no way to escape the fact—love has arrived.


  _____5___Perhaps one significant difference is that communication plays such a large part. Words that convey feelings have enormous effect. While before a real date we fix our hair and our clothes,on the Internet we polish our intellect, imagination and personality. In essence, the sequence is reversed--first we show our inner beauty and only after it has won victory does the veil fall off the physical vehicle of that personality at the time of that first meeting in person.


  请选择5题正确答案()。


  AThe development of emotional intimacy is a long process, sometimes taking several months.


  BCould any heart with romantic inclinations resist?


  CIt was then that they decided to meet in the real, not only the virtual, world.


  DThroughout history men and women have used a variety of means to find each other.


  EHow does a cyber romance vary from a real life romance?


  FIn any case,keep your eyes open off-line as well.

  [问答题]Things to know about the U. K.


  From Buckingham Palace to Oxford, the U. K. is loaded with wonderful icons of past eras. But it has also modernized with confidence. It"s now better known for vibrant cities with great nightlife and attraction. Fashions, fine dining, clubbing, shopping——the U. K. is among the world’s best.


  Most people have strong preconceptions about the British. But if you"re one of these people,you’d be wise to abandon those ideas. Vistit a nightclub in one of the big cities,a football match ,or a good local pub and you might more readily describe the English people as humorous and hospitable. It"s certainly true that no other country in the world has more birdwatchres, sports supporters, pet owners and gardeners than the U. K.


  Getting around England is pretty easy. Budget airlines like EasyJET and Rynnair f1y domestically. Trains can deliver you very efficiently from one major city to another. Long distance express buses are called coaches. Where coaches and buses run on the same route, coaches are more expensive (though quicker) than buses. London’s famous black cabs are excellent but expensive. Minicabs are cheaper competitors, with freelance drivers. But usually you need to give a call first. London"s underground is called the Tube. It"s very convenient and can get you to almost any part of the city.


  The U. K. is not famous for its food. But you still need to know some of the traditional English foods. The most famous must be fish and chips. The fish and chips are deep fried in f1our. English breakfast is something you need to try. It is fried bacon,sausages,fried eggs, black pudding,fried tomatoes,fried bread and baked beans,with toast and a pot of tea. Other things like shepherd"s pie and Yorkshire pudding are also well-known as a part of English food culture.


  Pubbing and c1ubbing are the main forms of English nightlife,especially for the young. Pubbing means going to a pub with friends, having drinks, and chatting. Clubbing is different from pubbing and includes going to a pub,or a place of music,or a bar,or any other places to gather with friends. Clubbing can be found everywhere. Usually there is some kind of dress code for c1ubbing,such as no jeans,no sportswear,or smart clubwear,while pubbing is much more casual.

  [单选题]Rare Fossil Record


  The preservation of embryos and juveniles is a rare occurrence in the fossil record. The tiny, delicate skeletons are usually scattered by scavengers (食腐动物)weathering before they can be fossilized. Ichthyosaurs(鱼龙)had a higher chance of being preserved than did terrestrial creatures because, as marine animals, they tended to live in environments less subject to erosion. Still,their fossilization required a suite of factors: a slow rate of decay of soft tissues, little scavenging by other animals,a lack of swift currents and waves to jumble and carry away small bones, and fairly rapid burial. Given these factors,some areas have become a treasury of well-preserved ichthyosaur fossils.


  The deposits at Holzmaden, Germany, present an interesting case for analysis. The ichthyosaur remains are found in black,bituminous marine shales(页岩)deposited about 190 million years ago. Over the years, thousands of specimens of marine reptiles, fish and invertebrates have been recovered from these rocks. The quality of preservation is outstanding, but what is even more impressive is the number of ichthyosaur fossils containing preserved embryos.


  Ichthyosaurs with embryos have been reported from 6 different levels of the shale in a small area around Holzmaden, suggesting that a specific site was used by large numbers of ichthyosaurs repeatedly over time. The embryos are quite advanced in their physical development; their paddles,for example,are already well formed. One specimen is even preserved in the birth canal. In addition, the shale contains the remains of many newborns that are between 20 and 30 inches long.


  Why are there so many pregnant females and young at Holzmaden when they are so rare elsewhere? The quality of preservation is almost unmatched and quarry operations have been carried out carefully with an awareness of the value of the fossils. But these factors do not account for the interesting question of how there came to be such a concentration of pregnant ichthyosaurs in a particular place very close to their time of giving birth.


  The word “outstanding” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to().


  A“extensive”


  B“surprising”


  C“vertical”


  D“excellent”


  参考答案:D
