23、 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 g
24、oing to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked “Smith Enterprises“, 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 d
25、oor 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 r
26、oom, 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 de
27、sks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Made. 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
28、for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment. Then Made realized that the days work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35,so that his staff knew exac
29、tly when to start working.（分数：10.00）(1).Made felt nervous when she knocked at the door because_.（分数：2.00）A.it was her first day in a new jobB.she was a little bit late for workC.she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong placeD.there was no answer from inside the office(2).Made could hardly recog

31、ndedC.no one wanted to talk to MadeD.the boss was about to arrive(4).We can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise_.（分数：2.00）A.would start their work by listening to a jokeB.were cold to newcomersC.were always punctual for workD.lacked devotion to the company(5).The best title for
32、this text would be_.（分数：2.00）A.Punctual Like a ClockB.A Cold WelcomeC.An Unpunctual ManagerD.Better Late Than NeverBText 2/BFor 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 w
33、ork. Lets start by discounting these confusing myths.1. All calories are created equalWhat 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 bums many more calories metabolizing protein an
34、d carbohydrates than it does metabolizing fat.2. Desserts are tabooCakes, pies and ice cream can sensibly be worked into a diet, the expert says. Moderation is the key. Cut down on other meals if you11 be eating out at a restaurant known for its rich sweets. Or indulge, but take only a few bites.3.
35、Fast foods are forbiddenA 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 dietSome studies suggest that drastically reducing calo
36、rie 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
37、.5. To keep weight off, simply watch what you eatAccording to experts, exercise combined with dieting ensures weight loss 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
38、 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 yo
39、u for it.（分数：10.00）(1).It cannot be inferred from the first paragraph that_.（分数：2.00）A.the information about dieting is always contradictoryB.there are too many weight-loss strategies to choose fromC.dieting is always troublesome to most peopleD.people should not believe the ideas of dieting(2).One
40、of the elements to gain weight is_.（分数：2.00）A.the amount of the food you eatB.over sleepingC.lazinessD.the kind of food you eat(3).Which of the following saying is tree about dieting?（分数：2.00）A.You cant eat sweets.B.Fast foods are not good.C.You should not neglect any meals.D.Fasting is always helpf
41、ul.(4).The phrase “starvation mode“ means_.（分数：2.00）A.being very hungryB.eating what you like when you are hungryC.weight-loss effortsD.being ready to eat(5).The word “shape“ in the last sentence means_.（分数：2.00）A.breakB.formC.get rid ofD.changeBText 3/BLabor force is defined as being the total numb
42、er 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 countrys resources which can be combined with other resources to produce the goods and services re
43、quired 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
44、 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 incr
45、eases, 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 lea
46、ving 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 a
47、ging 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 specia
48、l 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 government has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily.（分数：10.00）(1).Labor force is composed of_.（分数：2.00）A.people who are available to work and earn incomeB.self-employed people onlyC.only those who are looking for an employmentD.only the employees(2).The factor which does NOT influence the size of the workforce is_.
