The main argument against it is that it results in a wholly (26) decision. As often as not, employers do not ch

17、oose the best candidate, they choose the candidate who makes a good first impression on them. Some employers, of course, (27) this argument by saying that they have become so (28) in interviewing staff that they are able to make a sound (29) of each candidates likely performance.The main argument in

18、 favor of the interview is that an employer is concerned not only with a candidates ability, but with the (30) of his or her personality for the particular work situation. Many employers, for example, will overlook occasional (31) from their secretary provided she has a pleasant personality.It is pe

19、rhaps true to say, therefore, that the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assessable (32) of each candidate but to make a guess at the more (33) things, such as personality, character and social ability. Unfortunately, both for the employers and applicants for jobs, there are many peo

20、ple of great ability who simply do not interview well. Candidates who interview badly (34) be at either end of the spectrum of human behavior. They are either very shy or over-confident. They show either (35) enthusiasm or an excess of it. They either talk too little or never stop talking. They are

21、either over-polite or rudely abrupt.（分数：71.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_九、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十、Section A(总题数：1，分数：35.50)Some personal characteristics play a vital role in the development of ones intelligence. But people fail to realize the im

22、portance of (36) these factors in young people.The so-called non-intelligence factors include ones feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits. After a 30-year follow-up study of 800 males, American psychologists found out that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence i

23、tself, but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will-power and self-factors.Some parents are greatly worried when their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either (37) factors, malnutrition, or laziness, but they never take into consideration these non-intelligen

24、ce factors. At the same time, some teachers dont (38) into these, as reasons why students do poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or even rebuke or (39) them. Gradually, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and give themselves up as hopeless. Othe

25、rs may go (40) because they are sick of learning.The investigation of more than 1000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 percent of them were afraid of learning, because of examinations, 36.4 percent lack persistence, (41) and conscientiousness and 10.3 percent were sick of learning.

26、It is clear that the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main (42) to intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes an imbalance between physiological and psychological development among a few students.If we dont start now to (43) the cultivation of non-intelligence fa

27、ctors, it will not only obstruct the development of the intelligence of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation. Some experts have put forward proposals about how to develop students non-intelligence factors.First, parents and teachers should fully understand teenage psychology.

28、 On this (44) , they can help them to pursue the objective of learning, stimulating their will-power.The cultivation of non-intelligence factors should also be part of (45) education for small children. Parents should attend to these qualities from the very beginning.A. strengthen I. geneticB. astra

In 1903, Cesare

30、Lombroso, the father of modern criminology (犯罪学), summarized his views on the left-handed of the world. “What is sure,“ he wrote, “is that criminals are more often left-handed than honest men, and lunatics are more sensitively left-sided than either of the other two.“ Left-handers were more than thr

31、ee times as common in criminal populations as they were in everyday life, he found.B. The prevalence among cheaters was even higher: up to thirty-three percent were left-handedin contrast to the four percent Lombroso found within the normal population. He ended with a soft tone. “I do not dream at a

32、ll of saying that all left-handed people are wicked, but that left-handedness, united to many other traits, may contribute to form one of the worst characters among the human species.“C. Though Lombrosos science may seem suspect to a modern eye, less-than-favorable views of the left-handed have pers

33、isted. In 1977, the psychologist Theodore Blau argued that left-handed children were over-represented among the academically and behaviorally challenged, and were more vulnerable to mental diseases. “Sinister children,“ he called them. The psychologist Stanley Coren, throughout the eighties and nine

34、ties, presented evidence that the left-handed lived shorter, more impoverished lives, and that they were more likely to experience delays in mental and physical maturity, among other signs of “neurological insult or physical malfunctioning.“D. But over the past two decades, the data that seemed comp

35、elling have largely been challenged. In 1993, the psychologist Marian Annett, who has spent half a century researching “handedness,“ as it is known, suspected the basic foundation of Corens findings. The data, she argued, were fundamentally flawed: it wasnt the case that left-handers led shorter liv

36、es. Rather, the older you were, the more likely it was that you had been forced to use your right hand as a young child.E. The mental-health data have also been questioned: a 2010 analysis of close to fifteen hundred individuals that included the mentally ill and their non-affected siblings found th

37、at being left-handed neither increased the risk of developing mental disease nor predicted any other cognitive or neural disadvantage. And when a group of neurologists scanned the brains of four hundred and sixty-five adults, they found no effect of handedness on either grey or white matter volume o

38、r concentration, either globally or regionally.F. Left-handers may, in fact, even derive certain cognitive benefits from their preference. This spring, a group of psychiatrists from the University of Athens invited a hundred university students and graduateshalf left-handed and half rightto complete

39、 two tests of cognitive ability. In the Trail Making Test, participants had to find a path through a batch of circles as quickly as possible. In the hard version of the test, the circles contain numbers and letters, and participants must move in ascending order while alternating between the two as f

40、ast as possible.G. In the second test, Letter-Number Sequencing, participants hear a group of numbers and letters and must then repeat the whole group, but with numbers in ascending order and letters organized alphabetically. Lefties performed better on both the complex version of the T.M.T.demonstr

41、ating faster and more accurate spatial skills, along with strong executive control and mental flexibilityand on the L.N.S., demonstrating enhanced working memory. And the more intensely they preferred their left hand for tasks, the stronger the effect.H. The Athens study points to a specific kind of

42、 cognitive benefit, since both the T.M.T. and the L.N.S. are thought to engage, to a large extent, the right hemisphere of the brain. But a growing body of research suggests another, broader benefit: a boost in a specific kind of creativitynamely, divergent thinking, or the ability to generate new i

43、deas from a single principle quickly and effectively.I. In one demonstration, researchers found that the more marked the left-handed preference in a group of males, the better they were at tests of divergent thought. (The demonstration was led by the very Coren who had originally argued for the left

44、-handers increased vulnerability to mental illness.) Left-handers were better, for instance, at combining two common objects in novel ways to form a thirdfor example, using a pole and a tin can to make a birdhouse. They also excelled at grouping lists of words into as many alternate categories as po

45、ssible.J. Another recent study has demonstrated an increased cognitive flexibility among the ambidextrous (双手灵巧的) and the left-handedand lefties have been found to be over-represented among architects, musicians, and art and music students (as compared to those studying science).K. Part of the expla

46、nation for this creative edge may lie in the greater connectivity of the left-handed brain. In a meta-analysis of forty-three studies, cognitive neuroscientists concluded that the bundle of fibers that connects the brains hemispheres was slightly but significantly larger in left-handers than in righ

47、t-handers. In 1989, a group of Connecticut College psychologists suggested that the creativity boost was a result of the environment, since left-handers had to constantly improvise to deal with a world designed for right-handers.L. In a 2013 review of research into handedness and cognition, a group

48、of psychologists found that the main predictor of cognitive performance wasnt whether an individual was left-handed or right-handed, but rather how strongly they preferred one hand over another. Strongly handed individuals, both right and left, were at a slight disadvantage compared to those who occupied the middle groundboth the ambidextrous and the left-handed who, through years of practice, had been forced to develop their
