第三部分 阅读理解(共 15 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 30 分)
请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Choosing the Right Resolution(决定)
Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution they started 2013 with,a goal of ____________________________________________________________________________________________
losing weight.However,setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.
To reach our goal of losing weight—the output,we need to control what we eat—the input(输
入).That is,we tend to care about the output but not to control the input.This is a bad way to
construct goals.The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input.Instead of resolving to lose
weight,try an actionable resolution:“I’ll stop having dessert for lunch,”or “I’ll walk every day for
20 minutes.”Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective
than concentrating on the outcome.
Recently a new science behind incentives(激励),including in education,has been
discussed.For example,researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating
children to do better in school.In some cases,he gave students incentives based on input,like
reading certain books,while in others,the incentives were based on output,like results on
exams.His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had
no effect when based on output.Fryer’s conclusion was that the incentives for inputs might be
more effective because students do not know how to do better on an exam,aside from general rules
like “study harder”.Reading certain books,on the other hand,is a well-set task over which they
have much more control.
As long as you have direct control over your goal,you have a much higher chance of
success.And it’s easier to start again if you fail,because you know exactly what you need to do.
If you want to cut down on your spending,a good goal would be making morning coffee at
home instead of going to a café,for example.This is a well-specified action-based goal for which
you can measure your success easily.Spending less money isn’t a goal because it’s too
general.Similarly,if you want to spend more time with your family,don’t stop with this general
wish.Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to,like a family movie night
every Wednesday.
In the long run,these new goals could become a habit.
56.The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because______.
A.it is hard to achieve for most Americans
B.it is focused too much on the result
C.it is dependent on too many things
D.it is based on actionable decisions
57.In Roland Fryer’s research,some students did better than the others because______.
A.they obeyed all the general rules
B.they paid more attention to exams
C.they were motivated by their classmates
D.they were rewarded for reading some books
58.According to the writer,which of the following statements is a good goal?
A.“I’ll give up dessert.”
B.“I’ll study harder.”
C.“I’ll cut down my expenses.”
D.“I’ll spend more time with my family.”
59.The writer strongly believes that we should______.
A.develop good habits and focus on the outcome
B.be optimistic about final goals and stick to them
C.pick specific actions that can be turned into good habits____________________________________________________________________________________________
D.set ambitious goals that can balance the input and output

Most of us think of being bored at work as a negative experience, but a new study suggests it
can have positive results including an increase in creativity because it gives us time to daydream.
That is the finding of Dr. Sandi Mann from the University of Central Lancashire. Dr. Mann
conducted two studies. In the first experiment, 40 people were asked to carry out a boring task.
They were told to copy numbers out of a telephone directory for 15 minutes. After that they were
asked to complete another task. A pair of cups were given to each of them. Everyone tried to come
up with different uses of the cups, and was given a chance to display their creativity. Meanwhile,
another group of 40 people were just asked to come up with uses for the cups without doing any
boring tasks before. It turned out that the 40 people who had first copied out the telephone
numbers were more creative than the control group(对照组).
To see if daydreaming was a factor in this effect, a second boring task was introduced that
allowed even more daydreaming than the boring writing task. This second study saw 30 people
copying out the numbers as before, but also included a second group of 30 reading rather than
writing them.
Again the researchers found that the people in the control group were least creative, but the
people who had just read the names were more creative than those who had to write them out.
This suggests that more passive boring activities, like reading or perhaps attending meetings, can
lead to more creativity. Compared with reading, writing reduced the scope(范围) for
daydreaming. As a result, it reduces the effects of boredom on creativity.
Dr. Mann says: “Boredom at work has always been seen as something to be avoided, but
perhaps we should accept it in order to promote our creativity. What we want to do next is to see
what the practical implications of this finding are. Do people who are bored at work become more
creative in other areas of their work -- or do they go home and write novels?”
64. Who proved to be the most creative in the two studies?
A. The people who attended meetings.
B. The people who did the reading task.
C. The people who invented uses for cups.
D. The people who copied telephone numbers.
65. The studies conducted by Dr. Mann indicate that creativity results from _______.
A. creative tasks
B. controlled activities
C. the range of daydreaming
D. reading and writing ability
66. What is Dr. Mann’s attitude towards boredom at work?____________________________________________________________________________________________
A. Positive.
B. Skeptical.
C. Subjective.
D. Disapproving.
D
For career(职业) changers thinking about growth and advancement potential, forget the
blue-collar and white-collar categories: Green is the way to go. According to Bracken Hendricks,
a senior fellow at the Center for Global Progress, careers that promote environmental
responsibility will become main stream within a decade. “The growth in green careers will be like
the Internet boom, which not only created new jobs, but also had an influence on the overall
economy(经济),” he says.
The increasing environmental problems and need for eco-friendly products and services are
creating a new job section of green-collar jobs. Many countries of the world have realized the
importance and need for energy-saving products and services. It is expected that by 2025 about
25% of the jobs in developed countries will be of green-collar jobs. Doesn’t the data look
promising for the future?
Green-collar jobs have become a bright career chances for all. And jobs will pop up at every
income level, from environmental manager to gardener. For example, many countries including
the United States have understood that fossil fuels have negative effect on the environment which
can later become a serious danger to mankind. As a result, possibilities are being explored to find
alternatives to satisfy demands in a better way. The increasing demand of newer resources(资源)
has creating the need for experts and researchers who can find better ways to deal with the
ongoing needs. In addition, in order to meet the increasing demands of environment-friendly
equipment, both green product designer and educated and trained workers are needed.
Management of environmental organizations also demands a large number of environmental
managers.
Where can you find green-collar jobs? Internet is undoubtedly the best way to find
information on almost any matter. Nowadays, different kinds of jobs are being posted online.
Search through a couple of job websites to look for a bright future in energy conversion and
recycling of waste management. Check regularly and find the right work for yourself. People who
read newspapers can also find different kinds of green-collar jobs.
67. Why does Bracken Hendricks mention the Internet Boom in Paragraph One?
A. To explain the importance of technology.
B. To provide evidence of his recent research.
C. To indicate the bright future of green careers.
D. To inform us of the way of finding green-collar jobs.
68. Which of the following probably creates green-collar jobs?
A. Promoting services.
B. Training employees.
C. Consuming fossil fuels.
D. Developing new resources.
69. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A. The requirements for green employees.
B. The development of the green industry.____________________________________________________________________________________________
C. The economic influence of green careers.
D. The job chances in the environmental industry.
70. The passage is written to _______.
A. discuss eco-friendly services
B. introduce promising career chances
C. suggest ways of saving energy at work
D. explain the best method of finding jobs
第四部分 任务型阅读(共 10 小题;每小题 1 分,满分 10 分)
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
Problem: On the scale of problems, “pictures of food on the Internet” is firmly first-world.
And that is almost certainly a too-generous definition of “problem.” When it comes to
photographing and putting your dinner on line, I say live and let live, you know? Maybe your
salad was particularly inviting and pleasing that night, and I, too, have spent many an hour
clicking “random” on Smitten Kitchen and salivating(流口水).
But I assume if you’re making the effort to arrange your food artfully and preserve its
memory in a digital archive, you must... like food. And want it to taste good. A recent study
published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology suggests that spending time focusing on images
of food makes the food itself less satisfying.
Methodology: The researchers assumed that imagining enjoying something might lead to
satiation -- the feeling that makes the second piece of cake taste not-quite-as-good as the first. To
test this, they had some people participate in two experiments that they were told were separate --
one in which they rated how appetizing different photos of food looked, and one in which they ate
some peanuts and rated how much they enjoyed them.
A separate group of people did the same experiment again, but in the photo-rating portion,
some were asked to rate how appetizing the food was or to choose a preference between two foods,
and some were asked to rate the brightness of the photo itself.
Results: The more photos of food people looked at, the less they enjoyed the peanuts -- if
they were looking at photos of salty food. People who looked carefully at images of sweets
enjoyed the peanuts more, suggesting that imagination causes satiation only if you’re imagining a
similar food. In the second experiment, participants who focused on the brightness of the photos
were able to enjoy the peanuts more than those who were thinking about the deliciousness of
foods while they looked at the images.
Implications: You’ll probably enjoy your food more if you don’t take a picture of it, or scroll
through images of cookies at work and then eat one when you get home. This also has potential
implications for advertisers, who may unknowingly be giving away satiation for free when they
show images of chicken wings or whatever in front of us all day long. But luckily the study
provides a hint: Try not to think about the food’s taste while you take a photo -- just focus on your
composition.____________________________________________________________________________________________
