For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.Its time to go ou
17、t for a run!As little as five minutes of running or jogging each day can help people reduce their risk of premature death by nearly one-third and extend their lives by about three years, according to a U.S. study.The researchers tracked the exercise habits of over 55,000 adults in the United States
18、for six to twenty-two years. About 24 percent of the adults described themselves (21)_ runners. Compared to those who didnt run, those who did were 30 percent (22)_(likely) to die of any cause during the course of the study. These figures (23)_(adjust) to take into account peoples smoking and drinki
19、ng habits, how old they were (24)_ they enrolled in the study, their familys health history and their other exercise habits.The researchers divided up the roughly 13,000 runners into five groups (25)_(base) on how many minutes they ran per week. Those (26)_ were in the lowest group ran up to 50 minu
20、tes over a seven-day period, and those in the highest group ran for more than 175 minutes over the course of a week. According to the study, the benefits of running were pretty much the same for all runners.“Running even at lower doses or slower speeds was associated with significant benefits,” the
21、researchers wrote in their report. (27)_(reduce) the risk of premature death, they calculated, all it took was 30 to 59 minutes of running per week.“This finding has clinical and public health importance,” the report continues. “Time is one of the strongest barriers to (28)_(participate) in physical
22、 activity. This study may motivate more people to start running. People who (29)_ hardly devote 20 minutes to moderate physical activity each day may appreciate the efficiency of a five-minute run.” However, it is not clear (30)_ the findings of this study would apply to the nation as a whole.

Note that there is one word more than you need.A. acceptB. individuallyC. destroyD. scheme E. uniqueF. absolutelyG. extraordinaryH. destruction I. presentJ. eventuallyK. pointThe common wis
24、dom is that introverts (内向的人) and extroverts (外向的人) do not work well together. This wisdom, as author Jennifer Kahnweiler makes clear in her new book, The Genius of Opposites, is 31 correct in the sense that cooperation is often going to be difficult, filled with battles and miscommunications, and s
25、ometimes deliberate 32 .Somehow, however, the introvert-extrovert partnerships produced 33 results. The key to such success, according to Kahnweiler, is the five-step process at the heart of her book.The first step, Kahnweiler argues, is to 34 each others differences. If introverted and extroverted
26、people want to partner, they have to realize they will never change the personality of the other person. Instead, each partner has to make a conscious effort to understand the other.The second step is that battles dont have to be avoided. Instead, they can be the means through which each partner is
27、challenged by the other; resulting in solutions that are better than those that might have been developed 35 .The third step is to cast the character. Because there are two very different personalities in the partnership, partners should take on the roles that best fit their 36 personalities.Kahnwei
28、lers fourth step is to 37 the dislike. Two people with opposite personalities must work on learning to respect and like each other as much as possible.The fifth and final step is that each cant offer everything. Introvert-extrovert consulting partnerships are often powerful because neither partner c
29、ould offer customers all they wantbut the two partners working together are able to 38 a much more various but complementary (互补的) product or service.For each step, Kahnweiler covers why that particular step is important. Also, Kahnweiler writes, a major conflict can actually be a turning 39 in the
30、relationship, paving the way to a productive cooperation. However, battles can also deal fatal blows to introvert-extrovert cooperation. If partners dont bring out the obvious problems, the result can 40 destroy the partnership.The Genius of Opposites is filled with stories of conflicts, most resolv
31、ed through an effort at communication and a foundation of respect.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The Advantages of an Ag
32、endaAn agenda is a list of topics to be introduced and discussed during a meeting. Agendas generally include a reading of the last meetings minutes or notes, relevant announcements, a review of the topics for discussion and a roll call. Although agendas take time to set up, in the long run they can
33、41 time and resources.Agendas provide an outline of discussion topics. The outline 42 the chairman or members of the meeting forgetting important topics to introduce. When all topics are thoroughly discussed, valuable decisions can be made as a group during the meeting instead of 43 making plans out
34、side the meeting. Agendas provide an opportunity to 44 members through announcements about critical events, goals and tasks. Agendas enable members who might not have access to everyone in the organization to announce important news and hear news of interest. Without an agenda, announcements may not
35、 be communicated to all the members, which can result in 45 . Agendas also summarize 46 meetings to help members review the progress made and 47 the focus for the current meeting.Agendas generally mention items to be discussed for the next meeting. This gives the members a chance to 48 the discussio
36、n topics before the meeting. At many meetings, outspoken members are more than eager to participate while reserved individuals may be more 49 . However, knowing what is going to be discussed enables members to research topics of interests, 50 how the topics apply to their area and then make thoughtf
37、ul, quality contributions at the meeting.An agenda prioritizes the most important activities, 51 productivity and focuses the members. The mere presence of an agenda creates a formal atmosphere and discourages members from 52 time. The agenda prepares the chairman and encourages consistency (一致性) an
38、d organization. An agenda also sets the objectives and gives the members a goal. This organizes the thoughts of the members, direction of the meeting and the action after the meeting.A collection of past agendas is an ideal 53 for external and internal institutions, organizations and the public for
39、viewing the progress of your organization. The documentation helps the public and organization members assess 54 decisions, remind them of previous events or important figures and set feasible goals. The roll call also helps administration determine the most dedicated members by counting 55 and revi
40、ewing contributions to the meeting. This can help with decisions on which members to promote or assign the role of addressing the public.41. A. takeB. limitC. saveD. invest42.

43、questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）The composing career of Albert Roussel got off to a wayward start, and received one of its biggest a
44、dvances from a lie.Roussel was orphaned at the age of eight and went to live with his grandfather. He built on the music he had learned from his mother, entertaining himself by reading through the family music collection and playing operatic selections and popular songs on the piano.Three years late
45、r Roussels grandfather died, and his mothers sister took him in. Her husband arranged for young Albert to take piano lessons. Summer vacations at a Belgian seaside resort added a second love to his lifethe sea. He studied to be a naval cadet (军官学校学员), but still made time to study music.In the French
46、 Navy, while he was stationed on a cruiser based at Cherbourg, he and two friends found the time to play the piano trios (三重奏) of Beethoven and other composers. Roussel also began composing. At the Church of the Trinity in Cherbourg on Christmas Day 1892, he had his first public performance as a com
47、poser with the performance of his Andante for string trio and organ.That success encouraged Roussel to write a wedding march, and one of his fellow naval officers offered to show it to an outstanding conductor, Edouard Colonne. When Roussels friend returned with the manuscript (手稿), he reported that
48、 Colonne had advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.Not long afterward, at the age of 25, Roussel did just that. He applied the self-discipline, conciseness, and spirituality that he had developed in the navy to his composing and became a major force in twentieth ce
49、ntury French music. As for Eduoard Colonnes inspiring advice that Roussel devote his life to musicRoussels navy friend later admitted that he had made it up and that he had never even shown Roussels manuscript to the conductor.56. From “a wayward start” in Paragraph 1, we know Albert Roussels compos
50、ing career _. A. was a great success at first B. was inspired early in every way C. was unpredictable in the beginning D. was a happy one because of a lie57. Who first brought music to Roussels life?A. His mother.B. His grandfather.C. His piano teacher.D. His fellow naval officer.58. Why did Roussel
51、 join the Navy? A. He didnt want to live with his mothers sister. B. He loved the sea because of his holidays. C. He wanted to practice music with his friends. D. He thought it could help him create music.59. The following factors except _ led to his success as a composer. A. his love for musicB. th
52、e conductors inspiring advice C. his navy friends lieD. the good qualities acquired in the navy( B)GETTING A GRANTWho pays?The local education authority (LEA) for the area in which the student is living.Who can get this money?Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course, although a student who h
53、as already attended a course of advanced further education may not. Students must also have been resident in the UK for at least three years, which can exclude some students from overseas.SPECIAL CASESIf a student has worked before going to college?A student who is 26 or more before the course start
54、s and who has worked for at least three of the previous six years will get extra money 155 a year if 26, increasing to a maximum of 615 at 29 or more.If a student is handicapped?LEAs will give up to 500 to help meet extra expenses such as buying a tape recorder for a blind student, extra heating or
55、special food. Banking?Most of the big banks offer special services to students who open accounts (in the hope that they will stay with the bank when they become rich officials). A student wont usually have to pay bank charges as long as the account stays in credit. Some banks allow students to overd
56、raw by 100 or so, and still dont make charges (though they do charge interest).60. The underlined phrase “a grant” in the first line most probably means _.A. bank interestB. a credit cardC. an education feeD. financial aid61. A 31-year-old nurse wishes to qualify as a doctor at a university. She has
57、 worked since she was 25. How much extra money will she get a year?A. None.B. 155.C. 615.D. 515.62. A big bank offers a new student special services because _.A. they need student accounts badly B. they charge students extra interestC. they know he can get money regularlyD. they hope hell be a poten
58、tial customer(C) Publicity offers several benefits. There are not costs for message time or space. An ad in prime-time television may cost $250,000 to $5,000,000 or more per minute, whereas a five-minute report on a network newscast would not cost anything. Publicity reaches a mass audience within a
59、 short time and new products or company policies are widely known.Credibility about messages is high, because they are reported in independent media. A newspaper review of a movie has more believability than an ad in the same paper, because the reader associates independence with objectivity. Simila
60、rly, people are more likely to pay attention to news reports than to ads. For example, Womens Wear Daily has both fashion reports and advertisements. Readers spend time reading the stories, but they skim through the ads. Furthermore, there may be 10 commercials during a half-hour television program
61、or hundreds of ads in a magazine. Feature stories are much fewer in number and stand out clearly.Publicity also has some significant limitations. A firm has little control over messages, their timing, their placement, or their coverage by a given medium. It may issue detailed news releases and find
62、only portions mentioned by the media, and media have the ability to be much more critical than a firm would like. For example, in 1982, Procter & Gamble faced a massive publicity problem over the meaning of its 123-year-old company logo. To fight this negative publicity, the firm had a spokesperson
63、appear on Good Morning America to disprove the rumor(谣言). The false rumors were temporarily put to rest. However, in 1985, publicity became so troublemaking that Procter & Gamble decided to remove the logo from its products.A firm may want publicity during certain periods, such as when a new product
64、 is introduced or new store opened, but the media may not cover the introduction or opening until after the time it would aid the firm. Similarly, media determine the placement of a story; it may follow a report on crime or sports. Finally, the media decide whether to cover a story at all and the am
65、ount of coverage to be devoted to it. 63. All of the following advantages of publicity are mentioned EXCEPT _.A. time savingB. attentivenessC. profitabilityD. credibility 64. Compared with ad, news report or featuring stories are more _.A. believableB. clearC. dependentD. subjective65. The example o
66、f “Procter & Gamble” is given to show _.A. the efficient way of disproving rumorsB. the importance of a spokesperson C. the interaction between firms and mediaD. the negative effect of publicity66. Whats the authors attitude towards publicity?A. Doubtful.B. Objective.C. Passive.D. Supportive.Section
67、 CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. The discount is by far the better, but the supposedly clever students viewed them as equivalent.B. So ret
68、ailers often take advantage of shoppers preference for discounting.C. One is to confuse them with double discounting.D. The main reason is that most people are useless at fractions (分数).E. They even control some irrelevant factors to make the studies more convincing.F. Marketing types can draw lesso
69、ns beyond just pricing, says Mr Rao.The Psychology of DiscountingWhen retailers (零售商) want to persuade customers to buy a particular product, they typically offer it at a discount. According to a new study to be published in the Journal of Marketing, they are missing a trick.A team of researchers, l
70、ed by Akshay Rao of the University of Minnesotas Carlson School of Management, looked at consumers attitudes to discounting. Shoppers, they found, much prefer getting something extra free to getting something cheaper. 67 .Consumers often struggle to realize, for example, that a 50% increase in quant
71、ity is the same as a 33% discount in price. They overwhelmingly assume the former is better value. In an experiment, the researchers sold 73% more hand lotion (护手霜) when it was offered in a bonus pack than when it carried an equivalent discount.This numerical blind spot remains even when the deal cl
72、early favours the discounted product. In another experiment, this time on his undergraduates, Mr Rao offered two deals on loose coffee beans: 33% extra free or 33% off the price. 68 .Studies have shown other ways in which retailers can exploit consumers mathematical illiteracy. 69 . People are more
73、likely to see a bargain in a product that has been reduced by 20%, and then by an additional 25%, than one which has been subject to an equivalent, one-off, 40%reduction. 70 . When advertising a new cars efficiency, for example, it is more convincing to talk about the number of extra miles per gallo
74、n it does, rather than the equivalent percentage fall in fuel consumption.There may be lessons for regulators too. Even well-educated shoppers are easily foxed. Sending everyone back to school for maths refresher-courses seems out of the question. But more noticeably displayed unit prices in shops a
75、nd advertisements would be a great help.IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.An Italian company has told staff to stop sending any internal emails for a w
76、eek in an effort to reduce stress levels.Home textiles (纺织品) company Gabel, based in the northern Como region, asked an expert to interview its employees about what their main concerns were at work, the local La Provincia di Como website reports. Many said that managing the huge volume of internal e
77、mails was a burden during the working day. That made the companys management propose a solution, whichsomewhat ironically (讽刺地)was sent to all staff in an email.“Together we will begin the following experiment, which will take us back in time to when people talked more,” managing director Emilio Col
78、ombo wrote, declaring an “email free” week until 13 November. “We invite you not to use email for internal communications (between colleagues at the same location), in favour of a more direct and immediate contact.”The companys president, Michele Moltrasio, tells the BBC it hasnt been easy to stop s
79、uch a deep-rooted practice, even temporarily, but that employees have welcomed the challenge. “They are rediscovering the pleasure of meeting and talking rather than writing,” he says. And that includes Mr Moltrasio, who is avoiding emails along with everyone else. “Even if from next week we all go
80、back to using email, these days of experimentation are very worthwhile, to understand and rethink the methods and pace of working,” he says.Several recent studies have found that a high volume of emails raises stress levels at work. In 2013, researchers said that a full inbox (收件箱) led to peaks in p
81、eoples blood pressure and heart rate. And last year, a study at the University of British Columbia found that limiting email use during the day lowered peoples stress levels significantly.第卷（共40分）I.

96、 her, physical health affects our mood, so we should eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly. She advises me to choose an enjoyable form of exercise that wont increase my stress.
