DChange.27Which of the following tips is NOT given in the passage?AThinking about hidden problems.BHelping children reach their goals.CBeing realistic when making goals.DThinking if the requests make sense. CYou know the saying Youre as young as you feel. Well, there may be some truth, according to researchers at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Ellen Langer, a Harvard psychologist who studies how the mind influences the body, and colleagues reviewed the scientific literature for evidence that a persons perception of their age might influence their health. They published their results in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science.In one study that Langer led, 47 women had their hair done. The women who thought their new hairdos made them look younger did look younger to objective observers, who were shown before-and-after pictures. The women who thought they looked younger also showed a drop in blood pressure. Another study involving 4,421 men found that thise who became bald(秃顶)at a relatively young age were more likely to get cancer and heart disease than men who did not. Similarly, another study involving 2,017 men found that those who lost their hair early were more likely to develop heart disease. “We believe that the feelings associated with being older than ones real age account for some of these health outcomes,” the researchers wrote.The researchers also described studies that found that women who had children later in life were more likely to be healthier and live longer than those who had children early, which they attributed to the fact that these mothers tend to spend more time with younger women. Similarly, people who marry younger partners tend to live longer than those who marry older partners, according to other studies.Taken together, the research “supports the general mind-body hypothesis(假说)that when a younger mind is prepared, a younger body can accompany it.” While the mechanism remains unclear, the researchers figured that suggestions associated with aging can “make one unconsciously or consciously aware of old age and set in motion a series of physiological processes that can have real effects on short-term and long-term health.”28. The underlined word “perception” in Paragraph 2 means .A. view B. appearance C. Influence D. creation29. Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 3?A. Blood pressure is highly related to hairdos. B. Feeling older than real age may be tied to health problems.C. Getting cancer or heart disease is the cause of hair losing.D. The women who love hairdos look younger than those dont.30. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that .A. a younger mother is more likely to live longerB. the younger one of a couple lives much longerC. often staying with younger people can benefit peoples healthD. people who want to live longer need to marry young31. The passage mainly tells us that .A. Getting bald too early is not good to marry youngB. Women had better give birth later in their lifeC. Feeling younger to a couple is very important to their healthD. Peoples feeling of their age may have an effect on their own healthD Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing，our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身）nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you cant judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I cant expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply cause he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.32. Which of the following is the newspaper editor opinion according to Paragraph 2?A. Peoples appearances carry messages about themselves.B. Customers choices influence dress standards in companies.C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.33. What can be inferred from the text?A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.34. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Employees Matter B. Personal Choices MatterC. Appearances Matter D. Hiring Managers Matter35. The authors attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as A. enthusiastic B. negative C positive D. sympathetic第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As CEO, you need to realize that each team member plays a role in your company and each individual is part of the whole. If you want to work effectively, your team must be harmonious. Heres how:Build trust and respect. Make a team-oriented environment based on trust and respect without which there will only be limited success. A start-up is like a ship going through highuncertainty. The captain needs the trust of his team, because people follow trust and honesty,not a person. 36_Be true to your word. If you demand high productivity and quality work. youd better be as good as your word. You get what you give. 37 When team members notice that you are a reliable person, they will imitate your behavior38 If you want to improve teamwork, help people get to know each other better.Organize in-person meetings for all workers (all teams) at least once a year-more often if at all possible. Informal conversations bring people together and warm up human relationships. One option is to invite your team to play a game, like football or basket ball. If players want to win, they have to focus on cooperation. 39 Take advantage of conflict. 40 Somewhere, somehow, conflict will show up. When confrontation between employees gets out of hand in a start-up, the CEO must face it. Don t complicate the situation by deciding what is good or bad. Listen to all sides carefully and then talk to other team members who observed the quarrel. Brainstorming solutions favorable for both sides may even result in ideas that would never have come to mind without the conflict.A. Organize a meeting for all employees.B Lay stress on the importance of teamworkC. A good team will always be efficient and productive.D. There are no teams without occasional misunderstandingsE. If you promise to do something, be sure you will fulfill itF. Thus their pure characters are exposed and real relationships are builtG. The stronger the trust is. the better the team will navigate without the captain on board第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Happy birthday!

People in some countries _49_ the aged as a source of _50_ and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at _51_”Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at age 65 brings a sharp _52_ in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot _53_ the difference. Older people may _54_ from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination (歧视). In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore _55_ up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated _56_ even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she _57_ much more respect.Unfortunately, the _58_ population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living longer. _59_ babies are being born. And middleaged “baby borners” are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America may soon be a place _60_ wrinkles (皱纹) are “in”.
