It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work.Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.
Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked "Smith Enter- prises" , she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. In the front of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.
Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others.Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived.

For most of us, dieting is a frustrating fact of life. With so much conflicting nutritional information about, it can be difficult to tell which weight-loss strategies really work. Let' s start by discounting these confusing myths.
1. All calories are created equal
What you eat, not how much, is the main factor behind weight gain, according to research.Calories from fat pack on the pounds. The reason: during digestion, the body burns many more calories metabolizing protein and carbohydrates than it does metabolizing fat.
2. Desserts are taboo
Cakes, pies and ice cream can sensibly be worked into a diet, the expert says. Moderation is the key. CVt down on other meals if you'll be eating out at a restaurant known for its rich sweets.Or indulge, but take only a few bites.
3. Fast foods are forbidden
A plain hamburger on a bun is still a healthful choice. So is grilled chicken or a green salad with low-cal dressing. But watch out for French fries, milkshakes and batter-dipped chicken or fish.
4. Fasting is the fastest diet
Some studies suggest that drastically reducing calorie intake switches the body into a " starvation
mode", which conserves calories and decreases your metabolic rate. The more frequently you deprive yourself of food, the better your body may get at storing calories. So, in the long run, repeated fasting may actually undermine your weight-loss efforts.
5. To keep weight off, simply watch what you eat .
According to experts, exercise combined with dieting ensures weight Joss better than dieting alone does. Experts also agree that sticking with regular, moderate exercise is more important that occasional vigorous workouts are. Obesity-researcher Kelly Brownell encourages patients to make a series of small physical efforts: taking the stairs instead of the elevator and parking the car far from where you are going and walking.
Most important, before getting caught up in dietary myths, let good sense shape your eating habits. Your body will thank you for it.
51. It cannot be inferred from the first paragraph that _ .
[A] the information about dieting is always- contradictory
[B] there are too many weight-loss strategies to choose from
[C] dieting is always troublesome to most people
[D] people should not believe the ideas of dieting
52. One of the elements to gain weight is _ .
[A] the amount of the food you eat
[B] over sleeping
[C] laziness
[D] the kind of food you eat
53. Which of the following saying is true about dieting?
[A] You can't eat sweets.
[B] Fast foods are not good.
[C] You should not neglect any meals.
[D] Fasting is always helpful
54. The phrase "starvation mode" means .
[A] being very hungry
[B] eating what you like when you are hungry
[C] weight-loss efforts
[D] being ready to eat
55. The word "shape" in the last sentence means .
[A] break [B] form
[C] get rid of [D] change
Text 3
Labor force is defined as being the total number of people who are available to work and earn income. This definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment,so it includes employees and the self-employed. Labor is one of the country's resources which can be combined with other resources to produce the goods and services required by the community. .
Though the size of the workforce relies greatly on the size of the total population,there are several other aspects which also affect it. The age distribution of the total population has a very marked effect on the available workforce. If the population has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old to work,then the available workforce would be lower than if there were an evenly spread age distribution.If the population grows rapidly from natural increase,i. e. the number of births greatly exceeds the number of deaths,then as a total population increases, the proportion in the workforce declines.
Sometimes a population is described as aging,which means that the birth rate is either falling or growing very slowly,and as people retire from the workforce, there are inadequate numbers of young people entering it to take place of those who are leaving it. The population is top-heavy with older people. So the percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births or a falling birth rate. '
The age distribution of the population has several important influences on the economy. If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce,this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a reasonable level of social services to the retired group. If the aged are to be cared for in special homes or hotels,finance must be available for that purpose. If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population,then the government tax receipts are relatively low and either the govemment has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily.
56. Labor force is composed of .
[A] people who are available to work and earn income
[B] self-employed people only
[C] only those who are looking for an employment
[D] only the employees
57. The factor which does NOT influence the size of the worldorce is _ .
[A] the size of population
[B] age distribution of the population
[C] national economy
[D] natural increase
58. The conclusion which can be drawn safely from the second paragraph is that _
[A] a population growth from natural increase leads to a greater proportion of the work-force
[B] a large population does not necessarily mean a higher proportion of workforce
[C] the larger the number of the aged in a population,the higher the proportion of the workforce
[D] if the population has an evenly spreaded age distribution,the workforce will be lower
59. When a population is said to be aging,_ .
[A] more people are retiring than people entering the workforce
[B] the birth rate is growing '
[C] there is an oversupply of workforce
[D] young people outnumber old people
60. The population which is top-heavy with older people poses a problem to _ .
[A] the government [B] the economy
[C] the workforce [D] all of the above
Part B
Directions :
Read the following discussion. among five people about workplace dress, for questions 61 t0 65,match the name of each person. (61 t0 65) to one of the statements (A to G ) given below. Mark you answers on. you.r ANSWER SHEETl.
Marian :
I have a friend who is a team leader of about 25 employees who are primarily women. She' s found a trick that works for her most of the time, but -not always. Those staff who appear in much less than professional dressing are asked if their mother and father would think appropriate a picture of them dressed in what they believe is "OK" for work. If they say "yes", she then takes a picture and asks them to send it home. Having a camera helps. Having a visual proof drives her message home.
Catherine :
I think it really boils down to a moral question. Is it morally "right" to use our body to move ahead in business? Or should we instead emphasize intelligence, capabilities, creative and independent thought, professionalism, and other such qualities which many, many women possess, but whom are routinely neglected for promotions and are never glorified or emphasized in our culture. It' s okay to be a tough, competent lawyer like Ally Mcbeal, but you won't get noticed unless you look good in really short skirts. Having a nice body is a plus, but I think that there are tons and tons of styles of dress which can show off a nice body in a professional way.
Roget:
A lot of employees have finally gotten the message about inappropriate (不合適的) dress-down items such as jeans, shorts, revealing tops, etc. They are starting to wear the proper dress-down clothes. However, wearing the appropriate dress-down clothes doesn' t mean you're excused from ironing and it's certainly no license to wear dirty clothes. Wash and iron people! And guys, tuck your shirts in and put on a pair of socks!
Briggs:
I work in a large company that has adopted the business code. They have an outline of what is acceptable and what is not. On it you find the typical, no blue jeans, no mini-skirts, no bare feet or legs and that type of thing. I guess I agree with Jessica. Anyone with common sense knows how to dress appropriately for whatever environment he or she works in. I am a casual person by nature but I tend to wear the business dress in my office. I do see some people in my building wearing casually and they look strange there.
BiH:
You're forgetting the most important point-it's "their" business. They are the ones who have put financial resources on the line: who have a whole bunch to lose if the business goes bad: who are providing employment for others. Therefore, they get to make the rules. If that includes a dress code, then that's their right. If you'd like a different dress code-start your own business.
Now match each of the people (61 t0 65) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
61.Marian [A] We shall not be moved.
62. Catherine [B] Money means freedom.
63. Roget [C] Photos taking are pleasant.
64. Briggs [D] There are people who are so careless about dressing.
65. Bill [E] Action speaks louder than words.
[F] It is our society that must be blamed.
[G] You should wear appropriately where you are.

芝加哥大學有一個特別的實驗室只有在晚上才繁忙。這是一個進行夢的研究的實驗室。在這里研究人員對做夢的人進行研究。他們從研究發現中總結出每天晚上每人都做3—7個夢，盡管通常情況下一個人只能記住一個或忘記他所做的全部的夢。
當被研究對象睡眠時，特殊的機器記錄下他們的腦電波、眼球的運動及表示夢結束的身體的運動。令人驚奇的是所有的被研究對象都睡得很熟。
觀察人員發現人在做夢之前身體會不安地移動。一旦夢開始了，身體會放松，眼部則開始活躍起來，就像帷幕已經拉開，演出即將開始。當機器表明夢已結束時，蜂鳴器會叫醒睡眠者。他會站起來，記錄下他的夢，然后繼續睡，或許會做更多的夢。
研究人員發現如果一個做夢的人在他的夢結束之后馬上被叫醒，那么他一般能夠回憶出整個的夢。如果他再睡上5分鐘，對于夢的記憶就會逐漸消失。這就是為什么大多數人晚上做很多夢，但早上卻幾乎都不記得了。
答案及解析
26.C【解析】此題考查對這篇文章的主要內容的宏觀掌握。本篇是關于研究人員在實驗室里研究人做夢的類型。at night符合題意。
27.B 【解析】聯系上一句“在芝加哥大學的一個特殊實驗室里”。只有B符合題意。
28.A【解析】“studying”在文中作伴隨狀語，B、C、D項則不合適。
29.A【解析】實驗證明每人每夜都會做3—7個夢。其他選項與題意不合。
30.D【解析】從上下文可以得出此處應填表轉折關系的詞。therefore因此;if如果;despi不管，均不合題意。
31.B【解析】本句意為“但在日常生活中，一個人可能記不住或只記住一個夢。”miss錯過;remember記住;realize意識到，實現;notice
注意到。
32.D【解析】此題考查對上下文的理解，subject實驗對象，只有表對象客體時才會用“object of sth.”的句型。
33.D【解析】此題考查對詞義的辨析。manufacture制造;initiate著手于;prepare準備;record記錄。
34.B【解析】sign意為“標志”，這里是當動詞使用。
35.C【解析】此題考查詞語搭配，soundly意為“安穩的”，可以與sleep搭配，其他項均不符合。
36.D【解析】subjects實驗對象;examiners檢查者;只有observers觀察者符合題意。
37.A【解析】once -旦。hardly用于“hardly.when.…”結構。
38.C【解析】become作系動詞時意為“變得”，后接形容詞。
39.B【解析】此題考查的是時態，通篇用的都是現在時。這里是指“帷幕已經拉開，演出即將開始”，故用現在完成時。
40.D【解析】本句意為“當機器表明夢做完了，蜂鳴器會喚醒睡覺的人”。indicate意為“表明”，符合文意。
41.C【解析】此題考查對上下文的理解，意思是“蜂鳴器會喚醒睡覺的人”。
42.D【解析】實驗對象繼續睡覺，因為睡覺過程中會出現很多夢，根據40題的分析可知D。
43.B【解析】做夢者應是被叫醒，使用被動語態結構，“be+過去分詞“表被動。
44.D【解析】此題考查語法結構，再多睡5分鐘，表達應為“數字+more+名詞復數形式”。
45.C【解析】由31題中的remember可推出此處是指對夢的記憶逐漸消失。

參考譯文
9點15的時候，瑪麗急匆匆地走進她工作的辦公大樓。她乘坐的公車在早晨高峰期，慢得像蝸牛一樣。所以她第一天上班就遲到了幾分鐘。她決定明天提前半個小時出門。
她走進大廳后，不得不站在電梯那兒等上幾分鐘才能搭上電梯上6樓。當她最終到達標著“史密斯企業”的辦公室時，她緊張地敲了敲門，等待著，但沒人應。她又敲了兩下還是沒人應。她聽到隔壁的辦公室里傳出說話聲，于是她打開門，走了進去。
雖然她肯定這就是兩周以前她接受史密斯先生面試的那間辦公室，但現在變化真的很大。實際上，這里根本就不像辦公室。雇員們在四下里站著，邊抽煙邊聊天。她猜一定是有人在屋子的前面講了個很有趣的笑話，因為她走進來的時候那邊爆發出很大的笑聲。剛開始她還以為他們在笑她。
這時有個男人看了看表，拍了拍手并對其他人講了幾句話。在幾秒鐘的時間內，每個人都迅速地回到他們的辦公桌旁，開始努力工作起來。沒有人注意到瑪麗。最后，她走向靠門口辦公的一位男士，向他說明她是第一天上班。那人幾乎連頭都沒抬，只讓她坐下等史密斯先生，他隨時都可能走進來。稍后她意識到原來員工們每天的工作都是在史密斯先生走進來的前一刻才開始的。一段時間以后，瑪麗得知史密斯先生住在康涅狄格，每天早晨都乘同一趟火車來曼哈頓，9:35到達辦公室，所以他的員工很清楚該什么時候開始工作。

對大多數人來說，節食是人生中一件煩人的事情。由于眾多有關營養方面的信息相互矛盾，要講出哪一種減肥措施真正奏效不是件容易的事。先讓我們從解開這些擾人的謎團開始。
1.所有食物產生的熱量都是一樣的。
吃什么而不是吃多少是長胖的主要原因。來自脂肪的熱量(卡路里)使體重增加。原因是：在消化過程中，身體對蛋白質和碳水化合物的代謝比對脂肪的代謝要消耗更多的熱量。
2.餐后甜食是大忌。
蛋糕、餡餅和冰淇淋可以合理地加進日常飲食。關鍵在于適度。如果你要去一家以甜食著稱的飯店吃飯，那么你要在其他幾頓飯上少吃點�；蛘卟患庸澲�，但只能吃幾小塊。
3.禁用快餐食品。
面包夾一塊純精牛肉是有益健康的可供選擇的食品。同樣可以選擇烤雞或拌有低卡調料的綠色色拉。但是要小心法式油炸土豆條，奶昔和粘有用雞蛋和牛奶調制成的面糊的雞肉或魚肉。
4.禁食是最見效的減肥法。
一些研究表明：迅猛地減少卡路里的攝入量可使你的身體處于一種“饑餓狀態”，這既保存了卡路里又使你的新陳代謝速度減慢。你越不讓自己吃東西，你的身體就越會儲存熱量。因此，從長遠來看，反復禁食也許實際上是在破壞你減肥努力的成果。
5.要減肥只需注重你的飲食。
根據專家的看法，鍛煉結合節食比單獨注重節食更能做到減肥。專家們也同意堅持經常而又適度的鍛煉比偶爾做些大運動量的鍛煉更重要。肥胖病研究者K鼓勵病人做一系列少量的身體活動：以爬樓梯代替坐電梯;把車停得盡量遠一些。
最重要的是，不要相信關于飲食的一些不經之談，讓理智決定你的飲食習慣。你的身體會因此而感謝你。

參考譯文
勞動力指的是能夠進行工作并獲取報酬的人的總數。這一定義包括所有已經有工作和尋找有償職業的人，所以它包括雇員和個體經營者。勞動力是一個國家的資源之一，和其他資源結合后就可以提供社會所需要的商品和服務了。
盡管勞動力的數量很大程度上取決于國家的總人口數，但其他方面的因素也會對它造成影響�？側丝诘哪挲g分布對現有勞動力有顯著影響。如果人口中有很大一部分是由于太年輕或太老而無法工作的人，可用勞動力的數量就要少于年齡分布均勻的人口。如果人口的自然增長速度過快，也就是說出生人數遠遠超過死亡人數，那么總人口數量增加而勞動力的比率則下降。
有時，一個國家的人口會被描述成老齡化的人口，這就是說出生率下降或者上升的速度都很緩慢，沒有足夠多的年輕人來填補退休勞動力的空缺。人口年齡分布因為老年人數量多而變得不均衡。所以，出生人口增長得過快或過緩，勞動力占總人口的比率都會下降。
人口年齡分布狀況對經濟有幾個重要影響。如果人口正在老化，退休的人數增加的同時就業的人數卻沒有相應的增加，就會衍生出沒有經濟能力為退休人口提供適當社會服務的問題。如果老年人得在特定的福利院或是療養院接受照顧，社會就必須為此提供經濟支持。如果勞動力人數相對于總人口數較小，政府的稅收也會相應較少，結果就是或者
政府沒有足夠的錢為老年人提供福利，或者勞動者的稅收負擔加重。
答案及解析
56.A【解析】由文中首句對labor force的定義可知選A。

58.B 【解析】第二段主要論述age disrribution對于勞動力規模的影響。
59.A【解析】見第三段的第一句話。
60.D【解析】由末段可知old people過分增加，會給三方面造成影響：the govemment,the economy以及the workforce.

參考譯文：
下面幾段文字闡述了對于在工作場合穿著過于隨意的幾種不同觀點。
瑪麗安：我有一個朋友領導著一個有25名員工的工作組，其中大部分都是女性。她想到一個“小詭對”.這個“小詭計”在大部分時候都是有用但不是所有時候都有用。她會問那些穿著過于隨便的衣服來上班的人她們的父母是否會欣賞她們上班時聞所穿的自認為“還行”的衣服。如果她們回答說“是”，那么我的朋友會給她們拍照片然后讓她們寄回家。照相機能幫上忙，視覺上的證據把她要傳達的信息帶回家。
凱瑟琳：我認為這歸結到一個道德問題，從道德上來說，用我們的身體來使生意有所進展，是對的嗎?還是我們應該強調明智、能力、創造力和獨立思維、專業以及其他品質?很多女性都擁有這些品質，但是她們在我們的文化中不會受到推崇或重視，晉升無份。成為Ally Mcbeal那樣強悍且有能力的律師也不錯，但是你只有穿上超短裙看起來很漂亮才會被人關注。擁有漂亮的身體是一種優勢，但是我認為有無數的衣服能以職業的方式突顯漂亮的身體。
羅杰：許多雇員最終收到了著裝不合適的信息，比如說牛仔、短褲、暴露的上裝等等。他們開始穿比較合適的休閑裝上班。然而，穿合適的休閑裝并不意味著不需要熨衣服，當然穿臟衣服也是不行的。真該把這些人洗一洗，熨一熨!男同胞們，把你們的襯衫扎進褲子里，并且穿上襪子。
布里格斯：我在一家引進了商業規則的大公司上班。公司對哪些衣著可以接受和哪些衣著不可接受有規定。你會從中發現很典型的一些規定。不準穿藍色牛仔，不準穿迷你裙，不準赤腳或露腿，諸如此類。我同意杰西卡的說法。有常識的人都知道該怎樣寄著才能與自己所工作的環境相適應。我生性隨意，但是在辦公室我會穿職業裝。我在公司大
樓里見過穿得很隨便的人，他們在這種環境下顯得很怪。
比爾：你忘了最重要的一點，那是他們自己的事情，是他們拿著財政資源去冒險，如果生意不好的話，他們會傾家蕩產。他們給別人提供就業機會，如此，他們就能制定規則，如果這些規則也包括了衣著規定，那么那也是他們的權利。如果你喜歡別的衣著方式，那就自己開公司。

Should Men Be Forced by Law to Do Half the Housework?
It is really ridiculous that the Australian parliament was to lay down a law to force human being to do the housework. I can't reason out anything to explain that a government should meddle in the family life. In my opinion, nobody can divide equally the housework into two parts and tell what a man or a woman should do in a family.
Husband and Wife, enjoying the same right in a family, give their deep seated love to each other. On the one hand, Wife has no obligation to shoulder the heavy burden of all the housework. Neither does Husband. On the other hand, if they deal with the housework as the businessman does in a market, the family will come to its end. When one is at home, the other is still working outside, why doesn't he or she prepare everything for him or her and give him or her a sense of having a family? Why not comfort him or her if he or she comes back exhaustedly? Why do you just force Husband to do half? Why not the whole if he is free? If he loves his wife, is it necessary to force him??Therefore, it is not reasonable for any institution to interfere in a private life. It is not necessary to force Husband to do half of housework.?

Zhang: My name is Zhang Hong.?
Interlocutor: I would like to have some information about your profession.?
Zhang: Ok. I am working in a company as a right?hand man.?
Interlocutor: What do you mean by“right?hand man”??
Zhang: It's something like a secretary. I have to prepare some data for the manager's speech at a meeting, to receive the call and send some mails for him. Sometimes he asks me to type something into the computer. Sometimes I explain his policy to other employees and report some advice to him. You see, I am involved in so many trifles every day. I think one day I will be driven crazy. ?
Interlocutor: Do you mean you want to change your job??
Zhang: I don't mean that. In fact, that is the life itself. I have to accept and stand it. ?
Interlocutor: Good.?

Liu: Yeah. I knew both of them in college. Mrs. Xiao was one of my roommates. How have you been here??
Zhang: Less than half an hour. I am late for the party, because I took one?hour?and?half drive. You know, it was the rush hour then...
Liu: A traffic jam? Oh, my God.?
Zhang: It's okay. Luckily, I am not too late. At least, I am here before you leave now and have a great talk with you. ?
Liu: Oh, thank you. I am flattered.?
Zhang: You deserve it. You are so pretty and distinguished a girl in the party. Ah, I am sorry. My friend is coming up to me and I have to say hello to him. Pleased to meet you. ?
Liu: Me, too.?

As a young man/girl, I don't want to take part in any organization. You know what it means. You will have to spare some time to attend some activities, maybe meetings, or get?togethers. If you are one member of the organization, you have to explain a lot if you are not able to get somewhere as it asks you to do.
Sometimes, I think it is a complete waste of time, to explain to you too much about something that you hate to be involved in but you have to be. I like to “be a law unto myself”.?
