【答案】1.C 2.D 3.B 【解析】

1. 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段Workshop for primary teachers who would like to

develop their practical art skill as well as gain an understanding of modern art practice可知，答案选择C。 2. 细节理解题。可直接在文章第三段MODERN ART TROLLEY FREE标题下找到

Children must be led by an adult这句话从而判断答案选择D，也可运用排除法，根据BOOK LAUNCH FREE标题下The Drawing Book by Sarah Simblet is a practical approach to drawing the world around you. Sarah Simblet, who teaches at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, University of Oxford, will be present to give a short talk about the development of her book可知是Sarah Simblet而不是Susan Bright要发表讲话，故A错；根据文章第一段和第二段可知文中并没有说Rory Carnegie 和Nikki要教年轻人摄影；定位Judie到标题WORKSHOP FOR 8 TO 12 YEAR OLDS下面，但根据标题可知，这个workshop主要针对的是8到12岁的孩子，故C错。

3. 推断题。可运用排除法，首先除了部分标题显示是FREE之外，其他并没有明确说是否免费，所以A不合适；WORKSHOP FOR 8 TO 12 YEAR OLDS和TEACHERS’ EVENING FREE这两个活动是在周四举办，所以并不是所有活动都是在周末，所以C排除；根据WORKSHOP FOR 8 TO 12 YEAR OLD可知不是所有的活动都是针对老师的，所以D排除，答案选择B

(C)

Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best ways to make an important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or a business to invest in, involves the utilization of a decision worksheet. Psychologists

who study optimization compare actual decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are. Supporters of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions. Although there are several variations on the exact format that worksheet can take, they are all similar in their essential aspects. Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the relevant considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration

or consequence is determined. Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance. A

decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together. The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision.

Since most important problems are multifaceted(多层面的), there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example for many college students is the question --What will I do after graduation?A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year.

A decision-making worksheet begins with a brief statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones. Focusing on long range goals,a graduating student might revise the question above to ―What will I do after graduation that will lead to a successful career? 1. Of the following steps, which occurs before the others in making a decision worksheet?

A. Listing the consequences of each solution. B. Calculating a numerical summary of each solution. C. Deciding which consequences are most important. D. Writing down all possible solutions

2. According to decision-worksheet theory, an optional decision is defined as one that _______. A. has the fewest variables to consider B. uses the most decision worksheets

C. has the most points assigned to it D. is agreed to by the greatest number of people

3. The author states that ―On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at onceto explain that ________.

A. most decisions involve seven steps B. human mental capacity has limitations

C. some people have difficulty making minor as well as major decisions

D. people can learn to keep more than seven ideas in their minds with practice

4. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. A tool to assist in making complex decisions. B. A comparison of actual decisions and ideal decisions.

C. Research on how people make decisions. D. Differences between long-range and short-range decision making. 答案】1.D 2.C 3.B 4.A 【解析】

1. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and

concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next,?可知，第一步是要写下所有可能的解决方法，答案选择D。

2. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段第三句话Supporters of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions可知an optimal decision指的是the best decision，又由第一段最后一句话The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision可知答案选择C。 3. 推理判断题。由文章第二段第二句话One of the benefits of a pencil and paper

decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally

comprehend and remember可知a pencil and paper decision-making procedure的好处之一就是它能让人处理比人们的大脑普遍一次性能处理的要多的事情，据此判断后面这句话应该说的是人类的精神力量是有限制的，故答案选择B。 4. 主旨大意题。通篇读下来，文章主要是在介绍a decision-making worksheet的好处以及用 途，B、C、D不符合文章大意。

Section C (8%)

A. Add a short but descriptive subject line.

B. Having others waiting for your e-mails hurts their enthusiasm for work.

C. It could get you a bad reputation as being indiscreet. D. People find long e-mails irksome and energy-sapping.

AB. Rushed e-mails that violate the basic norms of written language bespeak carelessness. AC. Sending out e-mails after working hour could be seen as being impolite.

Your clients and colleagues don’t have time to engage fully with every e-mail they get. Some of them receive hundreds of messages per day. That’s why they start with the ones they can deal with quickly. They may never get around to answering — or even reading — the rest.

So how do you earn their attention? Try these tips:

Stick to standard capitalization and punctuation. Conventions of good writing may seem like a waste of time for e-mail, especially when you’re tapping out messages on a handheld device. But it’s a matter of getting things right — the little things. Even if people in your group don’t capitalize or punctuate in their messages, stand out as someone who does. ______67_____ And their abbreviated style can be confusing. It takes less time to write a clear message the first time around than it does to follow up to explain what you meant to say.

Be brief — but not too brief. _____68____ The more they have to scroll or swipe, the less receptive they’ll be to your message. They’ll probably just skim it and miss important details — or skip it altogether. So rarely compose more than a single screen of reading. Focus your content, and tighten your language. But as you’re trimming the fat from your message, keep the meat intact. When giving a project update, for example, supply enough background information to orient your readers. Consider your message from their perspective. They aren’t’ as immersed in your project as you are, and they probably have many other things going on. So remind them where things stood when you last sent an update, and describe what’s happened since then.

____69____ Before hitting ―Send, check your subject line. If it’s generic or blank, your message will get lost in your recipient’s overstuffed inbox. Are you asking someone to take action? Highlight that in the subject line. Make your request easy to find — and fulfill.

Copy people judiciously. Include only those who will immediately grasp why they’re on the thread; don’t automatically click on ―Reply All. Your correspondent may have been over inclusive with the ―Copy list, and if you repeat that mistake, you’ ll continue to annoy the recipients who shouldn’t be there. ____70____

【答案】 1. AB 2. D 3. A 4. C 【分析】

67. 根据后文confusing等，可以判断出在讲解负面的内容，所以选AB 68. 根据段首说明要brief，所以后面肯定在讲解原因，所以填写D 69. 后文讲解到了subject line，所以选择A

70. 前文在讲解repeat that mistake的危害，所以选择C

Summary Writing（共10分）

Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping.

Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing various websites. The claim made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim of fraud (欺

骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.

Another problem is that the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue! Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items whose design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.

Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large van pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated(使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late !

【答案】:

(要点一) Online shopping can free you of the trouble you meet when buying things in store. (要点二)However, it has

challenges. Firstly, you should bear in mind that you must use sites which deserve trusting. (要点三) Secondly, you shouldn’t believe all the descriptions because they may be untrue.(要点四)Lastly,you should know although the delivery may be late, it may cause global warming.(60words) 【分析】：本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了网购的优势及需要注意的几个问题。第一段引入话题，介绍网购可以为顾客避免很多麻烦。第二段指出存在的挑战，即可能被欺骗。第三段指出对商品的描述可能名不副实，最后一段指出快递运输可能会有助于全球变暖。文章结构清晰，易于概括

Switch on the computer, get on the Internet, find baidu—a powerful search engine, type into the home assignment and finally it’s done. That’s what most ordinary students probably do and the number is increasing greatly every day, which

definitely worries many teachers and parents. However, as far as I am concerned, there should be a fine line between searching for information needed in homework and searching for information to excuse for laziness.

First and foremost, never will a student truly improve his scope of knowledge, cultivate his problem-solving ability and then gain self-satisfaction and self-confidence in this way. Homework is intended to check whether a student has

grasped certain knowledge, but with the rapid development of science and technology, a vast majority of students have turned to computers to save their time and energy on homework, which will definitely hold back the students’ self-testing and do great harm to students themselves and their teachers.

On top of that, this kind of action will prevent teachers from having a good command of students’ learning progress. For example, if a student gets straight As in almost all learning sections, then on no account will a teacher think the student will fail in the exam. But what if he does? Is the teacher to blame?

Therefore, it is this sort of behavior that stops students from learning themselves and keeps teachers from learning their students. If this trend is reversed, it will be a win-win strategy for both students and teachers.
