And in recent years, the city has moved 41 its tragic past to bee a vital engine of Chinas economic growth, thanks 42 to its position in the middle of Chinas prosperous eastern seaboard. Growth has also 43 thanks to improved ground transportation: A new bullet train linking Nanjing and Shanghai started service last year, 44 travel time between the cities from several hours to just 75 minutes, and a Beijing-Shanghai high-speed line is 45 to open later this year, with a stop in Nanjing. Within the city, two metro lines were built in the last few years; 15 more are planned to begin service by 2030. Signs of Nanjings 46 wealth and optimism can be seen everywhere. In the heart of the downtown Xinjiekou district, a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen, 47 the father of modern China, looks 48 over a busy 49 area. There is perhaps no more 50 symbol of the citys transformation than the Zifeng Tower, a 1,480-foot skyscraper that opened its doors last May. 51 offices, restaurants and an InterContinental hotel, the tower is the second-tallest building in China and billed as the seventh-tallest in the world. Underlying all this development is a large Chinese and 52 student population there are several major universities, plus a branch of Johns Hopkinss international studies school. In fact, art and music 53 in all sorts of places. On a larger 54 , local government officials and private investors are pushing the city as a rising center for contemporary art and architecture, hoping to attract 55 from the neon-bathed streets of its neighbor Shanghai. 36.A. advanceB. affectionC. airD. ability37.A. unforgettable B. unthinkableC. unbearableD. unnecessary38.A.

There are all these torrents of passion flowing through you. Your job, as captain of your soul, is to erect dams to keep these passions in check. Your job is to just say no to laziness, lust, greed, drug use and the other sins.These days that model is out of fashion. You usually cant change your behavior by simply resolving to do something. Knowing what to do is not the same as being able to do it. Your willpower is not like a dam that can block the torrent of self-indulgence. Its more like a muscle, which tires easily. Moreover, youre a social being. If everybody around you is overeating, youll probably do so, too.The 19th-century character model was based on an understanding of free will. Today, we know that free will is bounded. People can change their lives, but ordering change is not simple because many things, even within ourselves, are beyond our direct control.Much of our behavior, for example, is guided by unconscious habits. Researchers at Duke University calculated that more than 40 percent of the actions we take are governed by habit, not actual decisions. Researchers have also e to understand the structure of habitscue, routine, reward.You can change your own personal habits. If you leave running shorts on the floor at night, thatll be a cue to go running in the morning. Dont try to ignore your afternoon snack craving. Every time you feel the cue for a snack, insert another routine. Take a walk.Their research thus implies a different character model, which is supposed to manipulate the neural networks inside.To be an effective person, under this model, you are supposed to coolly examine your own unconscious habits, and the habits of those under your care. You are supposed to devise strategies to alter the cues and routines. Every relationship bees slightly manipulative, including your relationship with yourself. Youre trying to arouse certain responses by implanting certain cues.This is a bit disturbing, because the important habitual neural networks are not formed by mere routine, nor can they be reversed by clever cues. They are burned in by emotion and strengthened by strong yearnings, like the yearnings for admiration and righteousness.If you think you can change your life in a clever way, the way an advertiser can get you to buy an air freshener, youre probably wrong. As the Victorians understood, if you want to change your life, dont just look for a clever cue. mit to some larger global belief.56. Which of the following is the first-to-none element in the 19th-century character model?A. Action.B. Capacity.C. Resolution.D. Enthusiasm.57. The research at Duke University indicated that _A. Ones behavior is tough to change.B. Habit has an unidentified structure.C. Habit plays a vital role in ones behavior.D. Both habit and will power are of significance.58. According to the new character model, personal behavior could be altered throughA. techniques to break old routines.B. techniques to provide different physical cues.C. cues to change all the former unconscious habits.D. cues to manipulate the habitual neural responses.B 1234 PENSis your No. 1 source for promotional pens, advertising pens, and logo pens.

Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating. The buildingthe countrys largest mercial and shopping plexuses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgates owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning plant didnt have to be imported.The plex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium(天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents(通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys. During summers cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents. This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swingsdays as warm as 31 monly drop to 14 at night. “You couldnt do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,” Pearce said. The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23 and 25, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is freshfar more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled. 63. Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building? A. It was designed in a smaller size. B. No air conditioners were fixed in. C. Its heating system was less advanced.D. It used rather different building materials.64. What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?A. Fresh air from outside.B. Heat in the building.C. Hollow space.D. Baseboard vent. 65. Why would a building like Eastgate Not work efficiently in New York?A. New York has less clear skies as Harare.B. Its dampness affects the circulation of air.C. New York covers a larger area than Harare.D. Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.66. The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgates temperature control system_.A. allows a wide range of temperatures B. functions well for most of the yearC. can recycle up to 30% of the air D. works better in hot seasonsDIs the Go to College Message Overdone?Even in a weak job market, the old college try isnt the answer for everyone. A briefing paper from the Brookings Institution warns that “we may have overdone the message” on college, senior fellow Isabel Sawhill said. “Weve been telling students and their families for years that college is the only way to succeed in the economy and of course theres a lot of truth to that,” Ms. Sawhill said. “On average it does pay off But if you load up on a whole lot of student debt and then you dont graduate, that is a very bad situation.”One ment that people often repeat among the years of slow job growth has been the value of education for landing a job and advancing in a career. Aprils national unemployment rate stood at 7.5%, according to the Labor Department. The unemployment rate for high-school graduates over 25 years old who hadnt attended college was 7.4%, pared with 3.9% for those with a bachelors degree or more education. The difference is even bigger among those aged 16-24. The jobless rate for those with only a high school diploma in that age group is about 20%. At the same time, recent research by Canadian economists cautions that a college degree is no guarantee of promising employment.Ms. Sawhill pointed out that among the aspects that affect the value of a college education is the field of ones major: Students in engineering or other sciences end up earning more than ones who major in the arts or education. The cost of tuition and the availability of financial aid are other considerations, with public institutions generally a better financial bargain than private ones.She suggested two avenues for improving the situation: increasing vocational(职业的)-technical training programs and taking a page from Europes focus on early education rather than post-secondary learning. “The European countries put a little more attention to getting people prepared in the primary grades,” she said. “Then they have a higher bar for whoever goes to collegebut once you get into college, youre more likely to be highly subsidized(资助).”She also is a supporter of technical trainingto teach students how to be plumbers, welders and puter programmersbecause “employers are desperate” for workers with these skills.67. People usually think that _.A. the cost of technical schooling is a problemB. one will not succeed without a college degreeC. technical skills are most important for landing a jobD. there is an increased petition in getting into a college68. What does the underlined part “taking a page from” mean?A. Hearing from.B. Changing from.C. Differing from.D. Learning from.69. What can we infer from the passage?A. Public institutions charge more for education.B. European universities are stricter with students.C. Students with certain skills are in great demand. D. Canadian students prefer to major in engineering.70. Ms. Sawhill may probably agree that _.A. too much stress has been put on the value of college degreesB. technical training is more important than college educationC. a college degree will ensure promising employmentD. its easier for art students to find favorite jobs第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填上一个最恰当的单词。注意：请将答案写在答题纸上。Imagine living in a country torn by war. Or maybe you live in a place where there are few jobs and little chance to earn a living. Your family decides to move not to another town, but to another country. You and your family have bee immigrants. People are called immigrants when they move to a foreign country to make their homes.People bee immigrants for many reasons. The most mon one is economic opportunities. Most immigrants are attracted to other countries by the promise of jobs, farmland, or business opportunities.Other people bee immigrants in order to get away from mistreatment or natural disasters. They are refugees. Some refugees move to avoid wars and political unrest. Others are seeking freedom to express their religious views. Still others are uprooted by disasters, such as terrible flooding or drought.Some people have bee immigrants against their will. Captured in Africa, shipped to foreign lands and forced to work as slaves, many early African immigrants to North and South America came in chains.Except for Native Americans, all people came to the United States from someplace else. For nearly 500 years, immigrants have landed on Americas shores seeking a better life. Throughout American history, immigrants often worked low-paying, dangerous jobs that other people refused to do.Immigrants from around the world helped shape American life. Many immigrants absorbed the customs and language mon to most Americans. They also brought their own traditions, including music and foods. Over time, many of these traditions have bee part of American life.The first European immigrants to America hoped to colonize new lands. By the mid-1500s, Spaniards had ventured into Florida, California, and the American Southwest. French immigrants arrived in the early 1600s and built their first colony in Cana
