Ltd., Times Publishing Group of Singapore, Hilton Shanghai, Pearson Education, Foreign Language Teaching efibrt and ability were thought to lead to their success.Attractive female exe

29、cutives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the

30、 rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine and an attractive man more manly than

31、the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, hut an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the “manly“ qualities required.This is true even in politics. “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and

32、women differently,“ says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates (候选人). She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs

33、 were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.68 The word “liabili

34、ty“ most probably means_.（A）disadvantage（B） advantage（C） misfortune（D）trouble69 Bowmans experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness_.（A）turns out to be a disadvantage to men（B） is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women（C） has as little effect on men as on women（D）affec

35、ts men and women alike70 It can be inferred from the passage that peoples views on beauty are often_.（A）practical（B） supportive（C） old-fashioned（D）one-sided71 The author writes this passage to _.（A）give advice to job-seekers who are attractive（B） discuss the disadvantages of being attractive（C） dema

36、nd equal rights for women（D）state the importance of appearance72 Attention to detail is something everyone can and should payespecially in a tight job market. Bob Crossley, a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that came across his desk every day. “Its amazing how many candid

37、ates(求职者) eliminate themselves,“ he says.“Resumes (简历) arrive with stains. Some candidates dont bother (麻烦) to spell the companys name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate,“ Crossley concludes. “If they cannot take care of these details, why should we trust them with a job?“Can

38、 we pay too much attention to detail? Absolutely not. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. “To keep from losing the forest for the trees“, says Charles Garfield, associate (副) professor at the University of California, San Francisco, “We must c

39、onstantly ask ourselves how the details were working on fit into the larger picture. If they dont, we should drop them and move to something else.“Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA“The Apollo moon launch was slightly off-course 90% of the time,“ says Garfield

40、, “But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary.“ Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.Too often we believe what accounts for others success is some specia

41、l secret or a lucky break (机遇). But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow.72 According to the passage, some job applicants were rejected_.（A）because of their carelessness as shown in their failure to present(提

42、供) a clean copy of a resume（B） because of their inadequate(不足)education as shown in their poor spelling in writing a resume（C） because they failed to give a detailed description of their background in their applications（D）because they eliminated their names from the applicants list themselves73 The

43、word “perfectionists“ in the third paragraph refers to those who _.（A）demand others to get everything absolutely right（B） know how to adjust their goals according to the circumstances（C） pay too much attention to details only to lose their major objectives（D）are capable of achieving perfect results

44、in whatever they do74 Which of the following is the authors advice to the reader?（A）Although too much attention to details may be costly, they should not be overlooked (忽视).（B） Dont forget details when drawing pictures.（C） Beware of the importance of a task before undertaking it.（D）Careless applican

45、ts are not to be trusted.75 The example of the Apollo moon launch is given to illustrate(证明)that_.（A）minor mistakes can be ignored in achieving major objectives（B） failure is the mother of success（C） adjustments are the key to the successful completion of any work（D）keeping ones goal in mind helps i

46、n deciding which details can be overlooked76 Every year landslides (滑坡) cause 25 to 50 deaths and 1.5 billion in damage in the U. S. They account for 15 percent of the deaths from natural disasters in Europe. And in December, a single event killed more than 200 people in the Philippines. Sending wor

47、kers to stabilize (加固) mountainsides using steel bars and cement (水泥) can help prevent disaster, but it introduces new difficulties. Shaking drills produce harmful dust and loosen heavy, dangerous debris (岩屑).“Its quite a risky job,“ says Giorgio Pezzuto of DAppolonia, an engineering company in Ital

48、y.DAppolonia, working with eight other companies, may have an answer: a three-ton robot called Roboclimber. “The idea is to operate a machine far away that can drill without a human being on board,“ says Pezzuto, manager for the project, which is supported by the European Commission. Engineers claim

49、 that the machine will be faster and cheaper than manual labor. The robot, a large radio-controlled four-legged mechanical spider, has cost at least 2 million so far. The final product should be able to climb unstable mountainsides, drill holes, insert bars and cement, and collect data on the slopes stability. Testing should begin in May.76 The underlined word “event“ in the first paragraph refers to_.（A）landslide（B） ma
