25、 is a career to respectA WOMAN renewing her drivers license at the CountyClerks office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a.”“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “Im a moth
26、er.”“We dont list mother as an occupation. housewife covers it,” said the recorder.One day I found myself in the same situation. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked.The words simply popped out. “Im a Research
27、Associate (研究员) in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement (声明) was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.“Might I ask,” said the clerk with inte
28、rest, “just what you do in your field?”Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesnt), in the laboratory and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding
29、 in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerks voice as she completed t
30、he form, stood up, and showed me out.As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (激励) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants ages 13, 7, and 3. Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6-month-old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern
31、.I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”Motherhood. What a glorious career! Especially when theres a title on the door.56. How did the female clerk feel at first when the writer told her occupatio

40、 reach zero? Economists, who generally believe that supply tends to meet demand, have long thought about this question. Even in good times, i.e. not now, there are people who cant find work. And even in bad times, i.e. now, there are job openings. With over 14 million people out of work and looking
41、for a job, you would think every available job would be filled. But thats not the case. Not now and not ever.On Monday, the Nobel Prize committee awarded the prize for economics to the three scholars who have done the most to explain this phenomenon. Two of the winners are Americans, Peter Diamond o
42、f MIT and Dale Mortensen of Northwestern. The third winner is Christopher Pissarides, who teaches at the London School of Economics and was born on Cyprus. Like most of economics, what they have found about why the jobless and ready-employers dont find each other seems obvious. You have to find out
43、there is job opening you are interested in. Employers need to get resumes （简历）. It takes a while for both employers and employees to make the decision that this is what they want. And these guys came up with a frame-work to study the problem of why people stay unemployed longer than they should and
44、what can be done about it.So what would todays Nobel Prize winners do to solve the current problem of the unemployed? And does the awarding of the prize contribute to the politicians lowering joblessness?Speaking from his north London home, Pissarides told The Associated Press the announcement came
45、as “a complete surprise” though his work had already helped shape thinking on both sides of the Atlantic.For example, the New Deal for Young People, a British government policy aimed at getting 18-24-year-olds back on the job market after long periods of unemployment, “is very much based on our work
46、,” he said.“One of the key things we found is that it is important to make sure that people do not stay unemployed too long so they dont lose their feel for the labor force,” Pissarides told reporters in London. “The ways of dealing with this need not be expensive training it could be as simple as p
47、roviding work experience.”63. According to the writer, which is true about finding jobs?A. It is always difficult to find a job.B. Everyone can find a job in good times.C. Contrary to popular belief, it is easier to find a job in bad times.D. It is possible to find a job even in times as bad as now.
48、64. What is it that leads to their winning the prize?A. They have found the reason for unemployment.B. They have put forward a set of ideas to deal with unemployment.C. They have found out why people dont want to be employed.D. They have long studied the problem of unemployment.65. Which of the foll
49、owing statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Pissarides thinks his work surprising.B. The work of Pissarides has influenced many economists.C. Some of the winners ideas have been put into practice.D. It is probable that unemployed young people in Britain benefit from Pissarides work.66.
50、According to Pissarides, _ is effrctive in dealing with unemployment.A. spending large sums of money on trainingB. teaching some knowledge of economicsC. providing work experienceD. keeping people unemployed for some timeDAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence develo
51、ped by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a bor
52、ing environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a n
53、umber of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from the population,it is likely that their deg
54、rees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence
55、 depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment
56、as well as birth playsa part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.67. Which of these sentences best describes the writers point in Para. 1?A. To some ex
57、tent, intelligence is given at birth.B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.68. It is suggested in this passage that_.A. unrelated people are not likely to have diffe
58、rent intelligenceB. close relations usually have similar intelligenceC. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligenceD. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence69. In Para. 1,
59、the word surroundings means_.A. intelligence B. lifeC. environments D. housing70. The best title for this article would be_.A. On IntelligenceB. What Intelligence Means C. We are Born with IntelligenceD. Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的

Here are some techniques Ive been using to try to force myself to get to now:Set aside blocks of time to do things. When
61、I was talking with my wellness coach earlier this year, she asked me why I didnt exercise more often. “71,” I said. “Something always comes up.” She wasnt impressed. “J.D.,” she said, “You have to make time. Make an appointment with yourself to run or to go for a bike ride.” The same principle appli
62、es to other things you might procrastinate.72. Often Ill be sitting on the back porch reading a book, and it will occur to me that some chore needs to be done mending the fence, for example. “73,” I tell myself. Wrong! What usually happens is that I forget to write it down, and even if I do, I just
63、look at the list and procrastinate for weeks on end. The best move is to actually do the chore when I think of it. (Assuming, of course, that I have the time at that moment,which I usually do.) Use a timer to bring you back to reality. Part of the reason I procrastinate is that Im a daydreamer. 74.
64、One way to keep on track is to use a timer. I use the Ultrak Jumbo Countdown Timer, but not as often as I should. I set it for 48 minutes. When it goes off, 75: Am I doing what Im supposed to be doing? Do not multitask. I often start many things at once, but I never actually do any of them. In order
65、 for me to get something done, I need to focus my attention on it. Trying to do several things at once is a sure way to be sure theyll all be unfinished tomorrow.A. Im always lost in thoughtB. it brings me back to realityC. If it comes to mind, then do itD. I dont have the timeE. it serves as an ins
