22、.These people are unjustly accused, abused, and defamed-often termed sick or morbid or on the border of pathology. About 30% of American business and commerce is carried on the shoulders of workaholics. The ratio might exist in art and science too.Workaholics are the achievers, the excellers. There

23、is a national conspiracy against excellence and undue admiration of commonness and mediocrity. It is as if we are against those who make uncommon sacrifices because they enjoy doing something.Some famous psychologists say that the workaholic has an inferiority complex which leads m overcompensation.

24、 This is certainly not the case. Inferiority, or low esteem, describes laziness more accurately than it describes dedication.We do not seem to realize that very little excellence is achieved by living a well-balanced life. Edison, Ford, Einstein and Freud all had single-minded devotion to work where

25、by they sacrificed many things, including family and friendship. The accusation is made that workaholics bear guilt by not being good parents or spouses. But guilt can exist in the balanced life also. Think how many “normal“ people and middle-aged who have never done anything well-they are going to

26、settle for less than what they could have become.（分数：4.00）(1).From this passage we know that workaholic is a term referring to those _. A. who enjoy work more than anything else B. who make greater contributions than others C. who make uncommon sacrifice in their personal life D. All of the above.（分

27、数：0.80）A.B.C.D.(2).The authors main concern in this passage is to _. A. point out the role the workaholic plays in the American economy B. defend people who are addicted to work C. encourage us not to worry about our imperfection D. consider the difficulties that confront us at middle age（分数：0.80）A.

28、B.C.D.(3).The author of the passage would most likely agree that the workaholic _. A. is mentally ill B. performs an insignficant proportion of American business C. will not have the regrets that many “normal“ people face at middle age D. suffers from low self-esteem（分数：0.80）A.B.C.D.(4).According to

29、 this passage _. A. Freud led a well-balanced life B. workaholics can be helped C. workaholics should be admired D. so-called “normal“ people are truly the sick people among us（分数：0.80）A.B.C.D.(5).According to the author, one can hardly achieve excellence unless one _.

30、acrifices friendship and family C. has total devotion to Work D. ignores popular opinions（分数：0.80）A.B.C.D.九、BPassage 2/B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and

31、in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgmen

32、ts. We can call these people “generalists“. And they are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do their work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other peoples work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands on

33、e field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained“ man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalists and especially the administrators deal with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educa

34、ted“ man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in differ

35、ent proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people wil

36、l become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time, you must not look upon the first job as the final job. It is primarily a training job, a chance to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.（分数：5.00）(1).There is an increasing demand for _. A. all round people i

37、n their own fields B. generalists who are capable of making general judgments C. people whose educational background is either technical or professional D. specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The specialist is _. A. a man whose job is t

38、o train other people B. a man who has been trained in more than one field C. a man who can see the forest rather than the trees D. a man whose concern is mainly with technique and tools（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The administrator is_. A. a “trained“ man who is more a specialist than a generalist B. a man

39、who sees the trees as well as the forest C. a man who is very strong in the humanities D. a man who is an “educated“ specialist（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).During your training period, it is important _. A. to try to be a generalist B. to choose a profitable job C. to find an organization which fits you D.

40、to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).A mans first job _. A. is never the right job for him B. should not be regarded as his final job C. should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any job D. is primarily an opportunit

Most dont.So why, reading experts ask, do schools expect children to readand love to readwhen they are given material that is fr

42、equently too hard for them?Science and social studies textbooks are at least a grade above the reading levels of many students, experts say, and in some suburban and urban school systems, reading lists can include books hard for some adults to tackle.Toni Morrisons award-winning novel Beloved, about

43、 a former slaves decision to kill her child rather than see her enslaved, is on some middle schools lists for kids to read unassisted.To be sure, pushing some students to challenge themselves is important, educators say. But there are points where kids read books before they can truly comprehend the

44、m and then lose the beauty of the work.“Teachers studied The Great Gatsby in college and then want to teach that book because they have smart things to say about it, and they teach it in high school, “ Calkins said. “Then schools want to get their middle school kids ready for high school so they tea

45、ch them The Catcher in the Rye. Its a whole cultural thing. “In large part, Dr. Richard Allington, a leading researcher on reading instruction and a professor of reading education at the University of Tennessee, blames inappropriately chosen books for students reading woes, especially in school syst

46、ems where large percentages of children read below grade level. The average fifth-grade student in Detroit and Baltimore, for example, reads at a third-grade level, he said, but schools still give them fifth-grade core reading and social studies texts.That, he said, crushes a childs motivation.“If you made me education magician and I had one thing t
