项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
I worked as a manager in a company for a number of years. I liked my job, and was doing
well there, but our company was bought by a larger company and most of the managers at our
place lost their jobs. That was when I decided to do something I'd always wanted to do ―
become a freelance (自由撰稿的) writer. Changing professions (职业) has meant that my
lifestyle has changed in a number of ways.
The main difference for me now is that I have a much more flexible (灵活的) schedule.
I work about as much as I did before ― between 45 and 50 hours a week ― but my schedule
is much less rigid than it used to be. Before, I worked from 8 to 5 every day, with a few
extra hours on weekends. Now, however, I work when I feel like it. For instance, sometimes
I work until midnight or 2 ., then sleep until noon. I really prefer this kind of schedule.
It seems more natural to me.
I also decided that it was about time I began to pay more attention to my health. While
I was working as a manager, I never exercised. I already felt tired after work, so I just
came home in the evening and watched TV. However, last year I joined a health club and began
to do regular exercise. As a result I have lost over 10 pounds and I feel much better. I've
also started to eat more healthfully. I used to eat a lot of fast food, but now I do my own
shopping. I buy lots of fruits and vegetables and cook them at home.
Of course, not all the changes have been that easy. For example, I don't feel as secure
financially as I used to. When I was working as a manager, I never worried much about money.
I could always count on getting my paycheck every two weeks. Working freelance, I don't have
a regular paycheck. So now I have to make sure there's enough money until the next check
arrives.
All in all, I really like my current lifestyle. Of course, that doesn't mean I'll never
want to have a
6. Why did the author decide to become a freelance writer?

题目解析：细节题。A“他喜欢写作”B“他不满意现在的公司”C“作为管理 者他从来没有喜欢过他
的工作”D“他想要改变他的生活方式”，从第一段“I'd always wanted to do – become a freelance
(自由撰稿的) writ er.”（我总是想去做——成为一个自由撰稿作家）可以看出，B、C、D和原文意
思相违背，所以只 有A“他总是喜欢写作”正确。
7. What is the main difference the job change brought to the author?
A. He works fewer hours a week. B. He does not have to work on
weekends.
C. He can change his schedule as he likes. D. He can work at night and sleep late.
正确答案：C

题目解析：细节题。第二段都是在说作息时间表的变化和灵活多变，所以可以看出C“他能按他的 喜
好安排作息时间。”是正确的，正确答案为C。
8. Why does the author do his own cooking now?
A. He wants to lose weight. B. He has got lots of free time on his
hands.
C. He no longer feels tired after work. D. He wants to eat more healthfully.
正确答案：D
题目解析：细节题。从第三段倒数第三句“I've also started to eat more healthfully.”（我也
已经开始了更健康的饮食）可以得出，“他想要更健康的 饮食”所以正确答案为D。
9. What is his chief problem now?
A. He cannot count on his paycheck to arrive on time. B. He has no regular
work to do.
C. He has to find a publisher for his books. D. He has to worry
about money.
正确答案：D

to.”（我没有像过去一样感觉到财政上的无虑）， 所以正确答案为D“他不得不为了钱的事情担
心”。

A. he is going to find a regular job soon
B. he is not going to change his lifestyle in the near future
C. he will continue to write for the rest of his life

正确答案：B
题目解析：细节题。从最后一段可以看出“…I really like my current lifestyle …But for now,
at least, it suits me. ”（我真的喜欢当前的生活方式……至少到现在，这种方式是适合我的），
只有B“在近阶段，他将不会 去改变他的生活方式”符合原文，所以正确答案为B。
All the customs, beliefs, values, knowledge and skills that guide a people's behavior
along sharing paths are part of their culture. People throughout the world have different
cultures. Therefore their standards for behavior often differ. We tend to assume that certain
behaviors have pretty much the same meaning around the world and we anticipate that other
people will act as we do. But this is clearly not the case. When we are in a different culture,
we may find ourselves in situations for which we are unprepared.
Not surprisingly, interaction among people of different cultures is often filled with
uncertainties and even difficulties. Take the matter of the
by the anthropologist Edward T. Hall. He notes that Arabs tend to get very close to other
people, close enough to breathe on them. When Arabs do not breathe on a person, it means
that they are ashamed. But Americans insist on staying outside the range of other people's
breath, viewing the odor as distasteful. Americans typically back away as an Arab comes close,
and the Arab follows. For example, an Arab business representative may not trust an American
who backs off. On the other hand, the American may distrust the Arab for seeming so pushy.

passage?
A. customs. B. beliefs.

standards for behavior often differ”可以看出不同的风俗行为的意思不同，正确答案选B。
13. If we are in a different culture, we may _____.
A. notice that foreigners behave differently from us
B. behave differently from when we are in our native country
C. have no difficulty in understanding people
D. change our behaviors
正确答案：A
题目解析：由句子“we may find ourselves in situations for which we are unprepared.” 可
以看出我们处在不同的风俗中会发现自己无所适从，正确答案选A。
14. According to the passage
A. Arabs tend to get close to other people
B. Americans tend to stand outside the range of other people
C. the distance between two speakers when they talk with each other
D. the space between two foreigners when they talk

The purpose of this part of the book is to help you become more efficient in reading by
speeding up the process generally. Most people can learn to cover material much faster than
they do now while maintaining a high level of comprehension.
Improvement in reading efficiency has several major benefits. We need reading skills to
benefit from the wealth of information that is now available in printed form. Most people
get the rough outlines of their daily news from television and radio. However, the printed
word still provides the in-depth coverage of topics that really produces well-informed people.
Reading is also a great source of entertainment for many people. For students, it is the
primary method of studying.
The time you now spend reading can be made much more productive by increasing your reading
rate. For some people this will mean that they can obtain more information in the same length
of time. For others it will mean that time now devoted to reading can be used in other more
interesting and profitable ways.
To determine how fast you are reading, you first have to get some idea of the number of
words in a given passage. Then you simply divide the number of words by the number of minutes
it takes to read. That will give your rate in words per minute.
6. The passage is taken from _____.
A. a story book
B. a news report
C. a report on a scientific research
D. a book on reading
正确答案：D

reading by speeding up the process generally.” 可以看出这篇文章来源于一本关于阅读的书，

A. Reading will help readers get more information.
B. By reading readers will have a in-depth coverage of daily news.
C. Students must read so that they can master knowledge.
D. Improvement of reading helps readers get outlines of daily news.

A. different kinds of reading
B. the importance of improving reading skills and how to calculate reading rate
C. reading as a source of entertainment
D. different ways to improve reading speed
正确答案：B

9.

A. the average reading rate

B. dividing the total number of words a reader read by the time he spends on reading

A symbol is something that is used to represent something else. Numbers, letters, and
words are all symbols that show ideas.
The easiest symbols to understand are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. We can put these
10 symbols together in different ways to make every possible number. All people on earth
understand the ideas shown by these mathematical symbols. In fact, scientists think that
if we meet living things from space, we will use mathematical symbols to try to talk to them.
Letters are symbols we can use to write a sound. We put letters together to make words.
Words are symbols, too. For example, we want to write the idea of something that is living.
It is made of wood, and it has leaves. We use the word tree. Other languages use different
words to make their symbols tree.
The Egyptians made one of the earliest forms of writing called hieroglyphics. They used
pictures to represent people and stories. We can still see examples of hieroglyphics in
museums. They are very difficult for us to read.
Europeans began to use picture symbols on road signs about 50 years ago. People speak
many different languages in Europe, but they can drive in all European countries because
of the picture symbols in the road signs.
11. All the following are symbols except _____.
A. letters B. trees
C. numbers D. words
正确答案：B

ideas”并没有提到B，所以答案选B。

A. picture symbols B. letters
C. mathematical symbols D. signs

题目解析：由原文“The easiest symbols to understand are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9”

A. writing in pictures, not words
