2.When the Internet powerhouse Yahoo wanted to teach ethics(道德标准) to its employees,it faced a challenge familiar to multinational companies.
Yahoo employs nearly 14,000people at 25sites worldwide.They would feel bored at sitting down in front of a dated video in which actors with 1980s haircuts tell them what to do.So it hired a company called The Network to design a game.In the game,the truck where Yahoo was founded traveled the world,turning into a boat and a helicopter along the way as it visited some of Yahoo's foreign offices.Participants play in game show-like scenarios(场景) that quiz them about conflicts of interest and doing business fairly.And employees note:Yahoo is tracking how well they do.
Such activities draw more enthusiastic participation and teach more effectively than traditional methods.They are described as alternative-reality games (ARGs),involving both interactive and real-world elements.Besides teaching employees,ARGs have also been used in many areas for a number of different purposes.
From a marketing perspective,a number of very successful ARGs have been written as a way to build product awareness.A very popular ARG called I Love Bees was produced to market the 2004video game Halo 2.At its height,I Love Bees received between two to three million unique visitors over the course of three months.
ARGs are more than just a fun way to learn.They have also been used to solve real world problems.An ARG called World Without Oil was created to obtain collective input from players about dealing with the world's dependency on oil.World without Oil simulates(模拟) the first 32days of a global oil crisis and anybody could play by creating a personal story that recorded the imagined reality of their life in the crisis.World Without Oil's success on a small budget has opened the door for similar games to engage mainstream Internet users with climate change,education reform,governmental policy and other timely,vital issues.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

81.What challenge did yahoo face in teaching ethics to its employees?(How to)draw more enthusiastic participation and teach more effectively.
82.In the game designed for yahoo,participants had to answer questions aboutconflicts of interest and doing business fairly.
83.What are the three major functions of ARG mentioned in the passage?Teaching employees,building product awareness and solving real world problems
84.The success of World Without Oil suggests that ARGs canengage main stream Internet users with more timely,vital issues.

分析 互联网巨头公司Yahoo在给员工培训道德标准时,遭遇了和跨过公司类似的挑战.

解答 81.(How to)draw more enthusiastic participation and teach more effectively.归纳题.第三段"Such activities draw more enthusiastic participation and teach more effectively than traditional methods"告诉我们原因所在.
82.conflicts of interest and doing business fairly 根据第二段".Participants play in game show-like scenarios(场景) that quiz them about conflicts of interest and doing business fairly"可知,参与者必须回答利益冲突和公平做生意方面的问题.
83.Teaching employees,building product awareness and solving real world problems.细节题."They are described as alternative-reality games (ARGs),involving both interactive and real-world elements.Besides teaching employees,ARGs have also been used in many areas for a number of different purposes.在第三段提到了ARG三个主要的功能.
84.engage mainstream Internet users with more timely,vital issues 最后一句话"World Without Oil's success on a small budget has opened the door for similar games to engage mainstream Internet users with climate change,education reform,governmental policy and other timely,vital issues."表明了ARGs可以让互联网用户更及时获取各方面的信息.

13.When 7-year-old Warren Buffett said,"I will be the richest man one day,"his friends made fun of his"daydreaming".But ever since then the little boy has set about learning how to make money by selling drinks,delivering newspapers and buying stocks.The American had already earned 9,000 (equal to 90,000today) by the time he graduated from high school.
And this month the 78-year-old man,who earned his fortune by making a lot of sound investment in the stock(股票)market,took the place of Microsoft founder,Bill Gates,as the world's richest man.Gates'worth declined 1.5billion to 55.5billion in 33days after the recent financial storm,according to Forbes Magazine.
Buffett,the only son of a stockbroker,was ready to think outside the box to develop his business from a very early age.At 8,he went to golf courses collecting and selling the used balls.At 11when he sold soda pop door-to-door with a friend,the pair collected lids on streets to judge which flavor was the most popular.
As a paper boy during high school,Buffett delivered two competitor papers,so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions,he could still make a profit from the other.With his paper delivery savings,Buffett bought 162,000square meters of farmland and collected rent.Young Buffett stepped into the stock market at 11but earned only 5.The experience taught him one of the virtues in investing,patience.
After graduating from university,Buffett started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends.He researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time.By sticking to companies such as American Express and Coca-Cola,Buffett has become rich.
"Learning is important to Buffett's success.He is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading.He keeps learning from books,street smarts and investigation,from both success and failure.In this way,he over-achieved his aptitude (能力)."said Charlie Munger,his longtime business partner.
32.The passage is mainly aboutD.
A.why Buffett took the place of Bill Gates as the world's richest man
B.what effect Buffett's childhood experiences had on his success
C.what Buffett dreamt about when he was a child
D.how Buffett earned his fortune and achieved his aptitude
33.Which of the following is true about Buffett?C
A.He is next to Bill Gates in wealth at the present time.
B He achieved great success on stepping into the stock market.
C.His worth is more than 55.5billion now.
D He bought 162,000square meters of farmland by selling soda pop.
34.Which is the main factor that determines Buffett's success?B
A.His degree of education.
B.His eagerness to absorb the knowledge.
C.His family background.
D.His cooperation with his partner.
35.What can we infer from the passage?D
A.Buffett is an immediate success in the stock market.
B.Buffett and Gates are business partners.
C.His father helped him a lot in his business.
D.Buffett has a good sense of business.

14.These days no car show is complete without an electric car,and the 2011North American International Auto Show in Detroit,US,which ran from January 10to 23,was no exception.
Among the fully electric vehicles on display were the Ford Focus Electric and the Honda Fit EV.BMW and Volvo also had prominent displays at the show,proving that they can produce practical,yet spacious family-oriented electric cars.
Industry insiders at the show claimed that more efficient batteries,improved performance and greater consumer acceptance could make 2011the"year of electric car".
It's long been clear that electric cars score heavily for convenience.They are,for instance,much easier to maintain than gasoline-powered cars.When the battery runs out,you simply replace it or recharge it,just like you would for a cell phone or a laptop.
This is also a much cheaper method than filling your tank with gasoline.Better yet,electric cars don't emit exhaust fumes.As a result,they don't produce environmentally damaging greenhouse gases.
It appears that improved technology is making electric cars and their maintenance much more user-friendly.So,what are the obstacles which are preventing electric cars from becoming popular and fashionable?
Home charging for electric cars could be extremely convenient for users.However,it is also a potential obstacle.For a start,installing charging stations in owners'homes will be a challenge,particularly for those who have to park several blocks away from their homes.
Also,charging the car's battery still takes quite a long time.It may be some time yet before you can recharge an electric car in the same time as you can refill your gas tank.
Another problem is that many electric vehicles have limited ranges that may only allow for journeys of 50miles (80km) or less between charges.In cases where a driver wishes to charge the car primarily at home (perhaps overnight),this limits their daily driving to the range of their vehicle.
This may be one reason why hybrid cars are now becoming more popular.A hybrid car has more than one energy source,usually a traditional gasoline fuel tank and an electric battery.It's like a more practical version of an electric car:It's greener than a conventional vehicle,with fewer CO2emissions,yet it also doubles as a conventional vehicle.
"I would say that hybrid is a transition to fully electronic,"Road and Track magazine editor Richard Horman told Detroit News during the show."The trend is for lighter,smarter,more economical cars.Of course,electronic vehicles are meant to be that way."
This sounds promising,particularly in light of the fact that the show featured more electric cars from big manufacturers than ever before.
However,it seems that the technology associated with electric cars is not yet able to fully meet people's expectations.Don't expect gasoline-powered cars to disappear from roads just yet.

60.What made electric cars more convenient?A
A.Easier maintenance.
B.High scores on the show.
C.Practicality and large space.
D.Much lower prices.
61.Which of the following could NOT act as a potential obstacle of electric cars?D
A.It is rough work to install charging stations at home.
B.It is time-consuming to charge the batteries.
C.The ranges between charges are limited.
D.There's no need to fill the tank with petrol.
62.In Paragraph 10,the underlined word"hybrid"is probably closest in meaning toC.
A.gasoline       B.electric    C.combined    D.separated
63.The writer's purpose in writing this passage is toB.
A.introduce the 2011Auto Show in US       B.get readers informed of electric cars
C.comment on different types of cars      D.advertise for electric cars.
