1、自考英语（二）模拟试卷 46 及答案与解析一、阅读判断0 The Workers Role in ManagementTraditionally, it has been the workers role to work and managements role to manage. Managers have planned and directed the firm s operations with little thought to consulting (咨询) the labor force. Managers have rarely felt compelled (被迫) to

2、obtain the workers opinions or to explain their decisions to their employees. At most, companies have provided “suggestion boxes“ in which workers could place ideas for improving procedures. In recent years, however, many management specialists have been arguing that workers are more than sellers of

3、 laborthey play a vital role in the company and may be able to make significant contributions to its management. Furthermore, major company decisions greatly affect workers and their dependents. This is particularly true of plant closings, which may put thousands on the unemployment lines. Should wo

4、rkers play a stronger role in management?Workers should have a role in management. At the very least the labor force should be informed of major policy decisions. A common complaint among rank-and-file workers(普通工人) is the lack of information about company policies and actions. Between 1980 and 1985

5、 about five million workers were the victims (受害者) of plant closings and permanent layoffs (解雇) , often with no warning. At least 90 days notice ought to be given in such instances so that workers have time to adjust. Management should consult workers before closing a plant because the workers might

6、 be able to suggest ways of improving productivity and reducing costs and might be willing to make concessions (让步) that will help keep the plant operating.It should become a general practice to include workers in some managerial (管理的) decision making. There ought to be representatives(代表) of the wo

7、rkers on the firm s board of directors or other major policy-making groups. If rank-and-file workers are given a voice in the planning and management of the work flow, they will help to make improvements, their morale(一气) will rise, and their productivity will increase. As a further incentive(激励) th

8、ey must be given a share in the companys profits. This can be done through employee stock-ownership plans, bonuses (奖金) , or rewards for efficiency and productivity. Finally, when a plant can no longer operate at a profit, the workers should be given the opportunity to purchased(购买) the plant and ru

13、is very ancient. In the electroencephalographic (脑电图仪的) sense we share it with all the primates(灵长动物的) and almost all the other mammals and birds: it may extend back as far as the reptiles (爬行动物).There is some evidence that the two types of sleep, dreaming and dreamless, depend on the life-style of

14、the animal, and that predators(食肉动物 ) are statistically much more likely to dream than prey, which are in turn much more likely to experience dreamless sleep. In dream sleep, the animal is powerfully immobilized (使固定不动) and remarkably unresponsive to external stimuli. Dreamless sleep is much shallow

15、er, and we have all witnessed cats or dogs cocking their ears to a sound when apparently fast asleep. The fact that deep dream sleep is rare among prey today seems clearly to be a product of natural selection, and it makes sense that today, when sleep is highly evolved, the stupid animals are less f

16、requently immobilized by deep sleep than the smart ones.But why should they sleep deeply at all? Why should a state of such deep immobilization ever have evolved? Perhaps one useful hint about the original function of sleep is to be found in the fact that dolphins and whales and aquatic mammals in g

17、eneral seem to sleep very little. There is, by and large, no place to hide in the ocean. Could it be that, rather than increasing an animals vulnerability, the function of sleep is to decrease it? Wilse Webb of the University of Florida and Ray Meddis of London University have suggested this to be t

18、he case. It is conceivable that animals who are too stupid to be quiet on their own initiative are, during periods of high risk, immobilized by the implacable arm of sleep. The point seems particularly clear for the young of predatory animals. This is an interesting notion and probably at least part

19、ly true.11 The author states that during dream sleep, the animal sleeps_.（A）without moving（B） shallowly（C） intermittently（D）on its side12 It can be inferred from the passage that animals that are prey rarely experience dream sleep because they_.（A）have evolved further than predators（B） are particula

22、） less likely to appear to monkeys（C） more protective to the animals（D）at a higher stage of evolution三、概括段落大意和补全句子15 RadarChildren enjoy shouting at a high wall and hearing the sound come back to them. These sounds are called echoes(回声). Echoes have given us a number of valuable tools.Echo sounding

23、devices were early used in making maps of the ocean floor. Sounds or ultrasonic (超声的) sounds make good tools for determining how deep the water is under ships. Sometimes echoes from ultrasonic distance finding devices were prevented from working by fish swimming past or by the presence of large obje

They recognized the importance of this discovery at once.All this was of course just a start, from which our present radar has developed. The word “radar,“ in fact, gets its name from the term “radio

26、 detection (检测) and ranging“. “Ranging“ is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Today, in our scientific age, it would be difficult to manage without radar.One of the many uses of radar is as a speed control device on highways. When a person in an automobile is

27、 driving faster than the speed limit, radar will show this clearly and the traffic police can take measures to stop him.A pilot cannot fly a plane by sight alone.
