generation，I had lived only for myself traveling，acquiring possessions，rising to a position of importance and seeking financial rewardsI was“charitable”and“volunteered”for various causes，but really didnt give of myself In the spring after my moms death，I found myself waking in the middle of the night with one thoughtI felt forced to offer myself as a living kidney donorMy husband Robb had received the gift of life through a kidney transplant(移植)from a dead donor in 1999，so I was familiar with the enormous need for donors and knew several people who were waiting for a lifesaving transplantI decided to offer myself to be matched with the most compatible(互不排斥的)person on the waiting list at my local transplant centerI was paired with 71-year-old Dee from New Jerse who had survived for six years on peritoneal dialysis(腹腔透析)At her 70th birthday，her family threw a big party as they did not expect her to live much longerDee has become my very good friendAlmost two years after the transplant，I was privileged to celebrate her 50th wedding anniversary with her husband，their five children and their extended family In donating my kidney，I extended myself in a way far beyond what I ever believed was possibleI did so in honor of my mother who sacrificed so much for me and my sisters，and in memory of my husbands donor who extended her 1ife through him I encourage all who enjoy the gift of good health to share with others，either as a living donor or by appointing organ donation upon deathBy extending yourself through organ donation，you will live on through others in an extraordinary way and give comfort to your loved ones25What does the underlined phrase“give of”mean?ARelieve BDevote CAppreciateDForgive26What can we infer from Paragraph 4?ADee was the authors old friendBThe author attended Dees birthday partyCDee treated the author as a family memberDThe authors donation made Dee live six years longer27What would be the best title for this text?AAn old lady benefited from organ donationBThe memory of my beloved motherCThe deep meaning of loveDExtend yourselfC Our modern working lives are ruled by the concept of competenceThe idea that lies behind competence is quite simple：that one can state what people should do in behavioral terms，and then measure whether a person has succeeded in meeting that task or notWe rarely have a second thought about whether the idea of measuring and achieving competence is a good one or notIn fact，it is a controversial one Humans do not learn or work in ways that can be measured by the concept of competenceTake the example of a barista(咖啡师)who is being trained to make coffeeThe job title of“barista”suggests a degree of skill in making coffeeHowever，baristas in large coffee chains are usually trained through competence-based qualificationsOne part of these qualifications is to produce a cup of coffee to meet a minimum standardIt might have to achieve a certain taste and appearanceThis might seem perfectly reasonable，but there are two reasons why such an approach to training baristas does not work First，the production of a cup of coffee to a certain standard is a binary(二次元的)outcomeThe baristas can either produce a coffee of a certain standard or they cannotIf they happen to produce the best cup of coffee in the world，it does not matter，as competence-based training does not reward outstanding performanceLikewise，producing the worst cup of coffee would be a fail in the same way as producing a cup just below the standardIn fact，competence is not interested in the process of producing a coffee at allonly the final binary outcome Second，if the barista does produce a coffee to a certain standard，competence is not interested in why the barista can do thatBut humans are not machines that simply produce binary outcomesWe have bodies and minds which change through learning Yet we are increasingly forced to achieve competence in our schools and workplacesWe are not empty machines that simply produce binary outcomesIf we want to be true human in our learning and our workplaces，we need to be creative and specialLearning and innovation(创新)involve failure in aiming for something that is unusually goodSuch things simply cannot be judged by the standard of competence where the mediocre is the gold standard28Why is the approach to training baristas unreasonable in the authors eyes?AIt makes the outcomes rather unexpectedBIt encourages low standards in workplacesCIt cant improve baristasmotivation in workDIt ignores the fact that humans are not machines29How does the author argue his main point?ABy giving an example and explainingBBy criticizing the opposite pointCBy examining differencesDBy offering statistics30What does the underlined word“mediocre”in the last paragraph probably mean?ASpecial skill BGreat creativityCAverage qualityDOutstanding ability31What is probably the main purpose of the author in writing the text?ATo introduce new forms of learning and trainingBTo explain how people learn and work nowadaysCTo state human beingsadvantages over machinesDTo deny the general rule of measuring competenceD They say the average person makes 35，000 decisions a dayYet in her new book，How Woman Decide，Therese Huston explores a widespread phenomenon that many women fail to notice“Theres a huge double standard when it comes to how men and women are viewed as decision makers，”explains Therese，a psychologist from Seattle UniversityTherese decided to write the book after looking at her bookshelf：At one end，there were bestselling books about how to be a brilliant decision makerall written by men and featuring interviews with men like athletesAt the other end were books aimed at women on gaining leadership skills and confidence “Once those women are at the table，will their decisions be taken as seriously as mens?”Therese wondered“Men are respected as decision makers more than women，especially in the workplace，largely because theres this cultural belief that women are unable to make smart choices at work” So，Therese set out to pick apart the stereotypes(固有印象)to see what scientific research had found“Scientific research shows that men and women struggle with decision-making equallyThe only disadvantage I found was that during the teenage years-teenage girls are more indecisive than teenage boysOtherwise，theres little difference between the genders(性别)” However，there are some differences“Women are more collaborative(协作的)，”says Therese“A female boss is more likely to ask the opinions of those around her when making a choiceWomen ask for input，which helps make better decisionsHowever，this is often seen as a weakness rather than a strength” Therese also found that during times of stress，men and women make different choices，and the outcomes are often better when women are involved Study after study backs this view upNeuroscientists Mara Mather and Nicole Lighthall from the University of Southern California studied the way men and women make decisions and found that in times of stress，they react very differentlyDuring their study，which involved playing a virtual gambling(赌博)game，they found that when the females became stressed，they made smart decisionsquitting while they were ahead or taking safe betsBut when the men became stressed，they did the opposite，risking everything for a slim chance of a big win32Why did Therese Huston write her book How Women Decide?AWomen are less respected as decision makersBWomen are not equally treated in workplacesCWomen are unable to make smart choicesDWomen are poor at making big decisions33What is womens weakness in decisionmaking according to Therese Huston?AMen can make quicker decisions than womenBWomen easily get stressed when making decisionsCWomen are likely to ask for input when making decisionsDTeenage girls are 1ess able to make decisions than teenage boys34What can we infer from the last paragraph?AWomen show less confidence in times of stressBMen tend to make risky in times of stressCMen demonstrate great bravery in times of stressDWomen quit making decisions when ahead in games35Whats Thereses final conclusion according to the text?AWomen are brilliant as decision makersBMen are weaker in making smart decisionsCWe should give up all cultural beliefs about genderDGreat difference exists between the two genders in decisionmaking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。 Have you wanted to try an ebook?
