Topping the class academically was certainly an advantage. Studying was a breeze for Nigel. The reward was certainly incomparable to the little effort that he had to put in. It began when he was selected to help the teachers in the computer laboratories.

The peak of his school career came not when he topped the school but when he was selected for the nationwide competition. Unlike everyone else, Nigel wanted to join the contest because he liked playing with the Lego sets (乐高拼图玩具) and making something out of them. Nigel spent the next two months rebuilding the robot. It was during the time that Nigel found out about the prizes for the competition as well as another competitor, Alicia, from a neighboring school. His early intentions were forgotten. Getting the thousand-dollar prize was more important than anything else. Nigel decided to befriend Alicia. Unaware of his intentions, she told him all about the robot that she had been building for the competition. He even helped her to put the finishing branches in her robot. He was glad with the way things had progressed. His robot looked even better than Alicia’s and it was able to become a ball with its arms, something Alicia had failed to do.

On the day of the competition, he saw Alicia. Everything dawned on her the minute she saw him among the competition. She stared at him, puzzled at first, then angry and finally a look of helplessness came over her.

The flashbulbs of the camera exploded in Nigel’s try. The robot bird performed actions so unique and different that the specialist judgments were the same. Nigel was so personal with himself that he did not even notice the girl standing a few feet away from him. Without her, he would never win the competition.

76．What reward did Nigel receive for doing well in his school work?

A．He was offered a part-time job.　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

B．He was honored with a scholarship.

C．He helped his teacher construct a robot. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

D．He helped in the computer laboratories.

77．Nigel’s original intention of joining the contest was to _______.

A．be the top student of the school　　　 B．bring great honor to his school

C．construct a robot with the Lego sets　　 D．win the thousand-dollar prize

78．Why did Nigel help Alicia finish her robot?

A．He tried to make friends with her.　　 　　 B．He was fond of building robots.

C．He intended to help her.　　　　 　　　　　 D．He didn’t want her to suspect him.

79．What is the author’s attitude towards Nigel’s actions?

A．He is mildly critical.　　　　 　　　　　　　 B．He is strongly critical.

C．He is in favor of them.　　　　 　　　　　　 D．His attitude is not clear.

Nowadays more and more foreign enterprises and companies are no longer relying on interviews for recruitment.　 Years of studying interviewing has made clear that it is not a very objective process.　 Personnel officers often hire the person they like best or even the one they think most physically attractive.　 Looking good is no guarantee of doing the job well.

81．

To get a more objective view, many companies are also using psychological tests, to hire both for relatively routine job and for positions at senior levels of management.　 It is impossible to say how many employers use tests, but estimates of test sales in the U.K. for 2001 were over one million.

82．

Recruitment can involve steps in two ways.　 Step 1 is always the same: job application.　 The company decides whether you might be suitable based on your qualifications and your previous job experience.　 Step 2 can be screening.　 A specific test is given at this stage to rule out those who might not be worth interviewing.　 Some large employers use tests ---especially IQ based tests precisely to eliminate the unsuitable.　 Only those who pass Step 2 go to the interview.　 Step 2 can also be testing and interview combined. If the company thinks you might be suitable after looking at your application, they ask you to come to be tested and to be interviewed. It is seen very much as part of the same step.

83．

Tests claim to be scientific and objective.　 A large body of research has shown that interviews by themselves are not very reliable as a method of selection.　 People’s judgments are often very subjective: whether they like the look of someone counts for more than almost anything else.　 But reliable and valid tests can offer rapid and more objective information about would-be employees.　 If a candidate talks well in an interview but his test results suggest that he is a careless person who cannot concentrate, and employer is likely to think twice about hiring him.

84．

Taking a serious test for a job is rather different form taking a game-like test.　 You can spend just a little time answering questions of that kind of test, and you can deny the answers and say they are not accurate.　 But you can not go to a serious test without enough preparation since you can not afford to be denied and eliminated again and again.　 What can you do to do justice to yourself in tests?　 Here are three tips: Understand, Analyze, Practice.

Beyond two or three days, the world’s best weather forecasts are doubtful, and beyond six or seven they are worthless.

The Butterfly Effect is the reason. For small pieces of weather-to a global forecaster, small can mean thunderstorms and blizzards (暴风雪)-any prediction becomes worse rapidly. Errors and uncertainties increase, from dust devils and storms up to continent-size eddies (旋涡) that only satellites can see.

The modern weather models work with net-like points sixty miles apart, and even so, some starting data have to be guessed, since ground stations and satellites cannot see everywhere. But suppose the earth could be covered with sensors placed one foot apart, rising at one-foot intervals all the way to the top of the atmosphere. Suppose every sensor gives perfectly accurate readings of temperature, pressure, humidity (湿度), and any other data a weatherman would want. Exactly at noon a powerful computer takes all the data and calculates what will happen at each point at 12.01, then 12.02, then 12.03… the computer will still be unable to predict whether Princeton will have sun or rain one month away. At noon the spaces between the sensors will hide fluctuations (波动) that the computer will not know about. By 12.01, those fluctuations will already have created small errors one foot away. Soon the errors will have added to the ten-foot scale, and so on up to the size of the globe.

72．A weather forecast ______ in the world.

A．is reliable within one or two days　　　　　　

B．is doubtful beyond 24 hours

C．becomes useless beyond two or three days

D．is still worthwhile in seven days

73．Usually there is a weather sub-station ______.

A．in every city　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B．every 60 miles

C．between two cities　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D．every one foot

74．Which of the following statements is true?

A．People have not placed sensors one foot apart in the atmosphere.

B．Scientists have already put sensors one foot apart in the world.

C．Every sensor gives perfectly accurate data a weatherman wants.

75．Our computer will not be able to know about fluctuations because ______.

A．the sensors are not good enough　　　　　　

B．they are hidden by the spaces between the sensors

C．they are too far away 　　　　　　　　　　　　　

D．they move very fast

Susan Sontag (1933 - 2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything - to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.

Seriousness was one of Sontag’s lifelong watchwords (格言), but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In “Notes Camp”, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. “Notes on Camp”, she wrote, represents “a victory of ‘form’ over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ over ‘morals’”.

By conviction (信念) she was a sensualist (感觉论者), but by nature she was a moralist (伦理学者), and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor -published in 1978, after she suffered cancer-she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities(被压抑的性格), a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit.

In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000．But it was as a tireless, all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame.

“Sometimes,” she once said, “I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending …is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.” And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.

68．The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 means Sontag ______.

A．was a symbol of American cultural life　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

B．developed world literature, film and art　

C．published many essays about world culture　 　　　　　　　　　　　　

D．kept pace with the newest development of world culture

69．She first won her name through _______.

A．a tireless, all-purpose cultural view

B．her lifelong watchword: seriousness　

C．publishing books on morals　

D．enjoying books worth reading and movies worth seeing

A．She was more a moralist than a sensualist

B．She was more a sensualist than a moralist

C．She believed repressed personalities mainly led to illness
