题目内容
Being able to multitask---doing several things at the same time---is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.
What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a significant amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.
Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.
Multitasking also affects young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive.
Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.
What does the underlined word “juggle” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Want to buy.
B. Take the place of.
C. Use at the same time.
D. Seek for information from.
In Paragraph 3, the author points out that ________.
A. family members do not eat at the family table.
B. family members do not greet each other.
C. young people live happily in their families
D. young people seldom talk with their family members
What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. multitasking is harmful to young people’s development.
B. Young people benefit a lot from modern gadgets.
C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people.
D. Yong people must learn skills for future jobs.
The author develops the passage mainly by ________.
A. providing typical examples

She was puzzled and a little 41 because she liked the person on the whole. He had a perfect resume and gave good 42 to her questions, 43 the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy”. Several days later, she decided to offer the job to her 44 choice. “It wasn’t until I 45 a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany says. What she hadn’t known at that time was that that person behaved 46 was simply a cultural misunderstanding. He was an Asian-American 47 in a household where 48 for those in authority was shown by averting (避开) your eyes.“Attending the diversity workshop helped me 49 how much I could learn by simply asking questions and 50 dialogues with employees, 51 making assumptions and trying to be a know-it-all,” Miss Tiffany admits. “The biggest thing I 52 from the workshop is learning how to be more ‘inclusive(包容的)’ to 53 .”“I was just thrown off by the lack of eye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out, but will not miss that opportunity again.”Many of us have had similar problems with 54 we consider as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming necessary to 55 our understanding of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions.36.

"Tear’em apart!" "Kill the fool!" "Murder the referee（裁判）!"They are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent（无害的）enough. But let's not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed（流血）.Books have been written about the way words affect us. It has shown that words having certain meanings may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term "opponent" as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms. The dictionary meaning of the term "opponent" is "enemy":“ one who opposes your interests." Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may control one's mind, and every action, no matter how bad, may be considered correct . I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a time out for a glove change because he didn't consider them wet enough. The player rubbed his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then shouted, "Are they wet enough now?" In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent's intentional and illegal blocking by hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which is different from normal behavior.Therefore, I believe it is time we promoted the game to the level where it is by setting an example. Replacing the term “opponent” with “ associate” could be an ideal way to start. The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “friend”；“companion.” Think it over！You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term "associate' rather than "opponent."49. Which of the following statements best expresses the author's view? A. Bad behavior in sports will always have serious consequences. B. The words people use can influence their behavior. C. Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletes. D. Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field.50. Rough words are spoken during games because the players________. A. are too eager to win B. are usually bad-tempered C. can't afford to be polite in competitions D. treat their friends as competitors51. What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves? A. He refused to continue the game. B. He angrily hit the referee with a ball. C. He claimed that the referee was unfair. D. He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt.52. The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by_______. A. changing the attitude of players on the sports field B. raising the referee's sense of responsibility C. calling on players to use clean language on the court D. regulating the relationship between players and referees
