题目内容

【题目】 We spend 40 hours of our adult lives a week working, not including the time to and from the office. So it’s no surprise we become really good friends with our colleagues. We spend most of our time with them, after all. But times have changed and the way we talk to one another is ever-developing.

Now, many companies have internal instant messaging systems so that there’s less need to get up and walk round to speak to our colleagues. Emails fly around with numerous teams copied in, so everyone is in the loop (圈子). But what is the value of face-to-face conversation in the workplace?

New Zealand’s most admired wine brand. Villa Maria, knows the importance of conversation and how good communication can help strengthen a business from the inside out. Its newly launched campaign, called the Value of Conversation, explores what British people value the most about a face-to-face chat and how engaging with each other in person can make a difference in all areas of their lives.

Although nearly 1 in 5 British people find a quick email more efficient in their work, they still value the importance of speaking to their colleagues in real life and hearing their ideas, taking away any uncertainty and giving the opportunity for discussion. This is perhaps why, despite mostly preferring emails, nearly three-quarters of British people believe that speaking to people directly leads to better communication and improving work results.

Obviously, 85% of the people at the age of 18-24 believe that if someone is positive and confident during face-to-face conversations, it’s an indicator that they’re good at their job. So perhaps putting in a little extra effort to face-to-face conversations will pay dividends. If having a conversation in person could help you keep a pay rise, then it’ll be worth.

【1】What makes the ways of the communication among office colleagues change?

A.The order from their bosses.B.The laziness of the colleagues

C.The convenience of using emails.D.The preference to doing work alone.

【2】What is Villa Maria’s attitude towards face-to-face communication?

A.Doubtful.B.Positive.

C.Negative.D.Sympathetic.

【3】Why do many British people still like speaking to others directly while working?

A.It can improve the relationship with others.

B.It can save them much time.

C.It can make people communicate more easily than sending emails.

D.It can contribute to better communication and improving work results.

【4】What does the underlined phrase “pay dividends” in paragraph 5 mean?

A.Get rewards.B.Pay salaries.

C.Learn lessons.D.End relationships.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】D

【4】A

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。时代变了，我们和同事彼此交流的方式也在不断发展。一项名为“交谈的价值”的活动结果表明，尽管大多数人喜欢电子邮件，但近四分之三的英国人认为，直接与人交谈有助于更好的沟通和改善工作结果。所以面对面交谈更有价值。

【1】推理判断题。根据第二段中Now, many companies have internal instant messaging systems so that there’s less need to get up and walk round to speak to our colleagues. 现在，许多公司都有内部即时通讯系统，这样就不需要站起来四处走动和同事说话了。可知，即时通讯系统改变了办公室同事间的交流方式。故选C项。

【2】推理判断题。根据第三段中Villa Maria, knows the importance of conversation and how good communication can help strengthen a business from the inside out.维拉玛丽亚深知交谈的重要性，并深知良好的沟通能帮助企业从内到外发展壮大。可知作者用新西兰最受赞赏的葡萄酒品牌，Villa Maria举例来说明对话的重要性，因此可以推断Villa Maria对待面对面交流持积极的态度。故选B项。

【3】细节理解题。根据第四段中Although nearly 1 in 5 British people find a quick email more efficient in their work, they still value the importance of speaking to their colleagues in real life and hearing their ideas, taking away any uncertainty and giving the opportunity for discussion.尽管近五分之一的英国人认为工作中的快速电子邮件更有效率，但他们仍然重视在现实生活中与同事交谈、倾听他们的想法、消除任何不确定因素并提供讨论机会的重要性。可知，工作过程中直接面对面沟通有助于更好的沟通和提高工作成果。故选D项。

【4】词义猜测题。根据最后一段So perhaps putting in a little extra effort to face-to-face conversations will pay dividends. If having a conversation in person could help you keep a pay rise, then it’ll be worth. 所以，也许在面对面的交谈中多付出一点努力会有回报。如果面对面的交谈能帮你保持加薪，那么这是值得的。可知，与 be worth意思一致，说明有多一点付出会收获回报，因此推断划线词的意思是“得到回报”。故选A项。

Tenement Museum

The Tenement Museum on the Lower East Side offers a fantastic glimpse into urban family life. Guided tours reveal the daily routines of generations of Irish, Jewish and Italian immigrants who made their mark then quickly moved up and out. Pick up a copy of “All-of-a-Kind Family”or a vintage toy in the museum shop, one of the city’s best.

MoMA Museum

MoMA Museum does an excellent job making modern and contemporary art accessible to children as young as 4. On weekend mornings, guided tours are divided into age-appropriate groups in which children can observe a number of works and draw; later they gain free admittance to the entire museum. The cafeteria is both grown-up and child-friendly, and there’s an art laboratory with hands-on activities and even an audio guide for young people.

Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum

The most significant in the museum is the Space Shuttle Pavilion, which is scheduled to reopen in July, showcasing the Enterprise, NASA’s first space shuttle, which arrived last year. The U.S.S. Intrepid, a World War II-era aircraft carrier, is worthwhile in itself. While the complex suffered damage during Hurricane Sandy, most of its facilities are once again shipshape. Families may want to consider Operation Slumber, which allows for overnight visits with special activities for children 6 and older.

Children’s Museum of the Arts

All the artwork here is made by children, and visitors can make their own （bonus: you don’t have to clean up）. An area for younger children includes sand, Play-Doh and guided music activities. Children go berserk for the Ball Pond, a closed-in area of oversize balls. Is it experiential art? An installation? Children need not bother with such imponderables.

【1】Which of the following museums offer free admission?

A.Tenement Museum.B.MoMa Museum.

C.Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum.D.Children’s Museum of Arts.

【2】How is Children’s Museum of the Arts different from the other three museums?

A.It is located in New York.

B.It exhibits a lot of artwork.

C.Its artwork is all created by children.

D.It used to be damaged in the Hurrican Sandy.

【3】What do the four museums have in common?

A.They are all children-friendly.

B.They all show visitors contemporary artwork.

C.They can offer visitors activities to take part in.

D.They are all suitable for children over 4 years old.

For healthy adults, experts say that eating a lot of fruit is unlikely to get you into trouble, as long as it's part of 【1】 normal diet.

The main concern with overeating fruit is 【2】 (it) natural sugar, yet research has always linked whole-fruit eating to a 【3】 ((reduce) risk for obesity and other diseases. That's because whole fruit has a few built-in 【4】(advantage) that seem to reduce any sugar-driven health risks. It contains two kinds of fiber, which form a barrier on the inside of the small intestine(肠).This barrier limits the rate of sugar absorbing so that the liver(肝) is not harmed, just like stopping a large wave 【5】 building an underwater wall. Fruit fiber also 【6】(help) food reach the final part of your small intestine sooner, so you tend to feel full 【7】(quick) after eating fruit. As a result, the chances you will overeat fruit are relatively low.

Some fruits may be better【8】(eat) than others. For example, berries have been linked to both better heart and better brain health. 【9】 grapes may need more self-control. They're mainly little bags of sugar.

If you love whole fruit, there's little evidence to show 【10】eating it - even a whole lot of it - is bad for your health.

I always prided myself on being a wise shopper and having a good nose for bargains. So when I came across a sporting goods store with a sign “Going Out of Business Sale”, I marched into the crowded store. Up and down the aisles (通道), I wandered, humming to myself and enjoying the energy and excitement of a sale.

All of a sudden, there, at the back of the store sat a canoe(轻舟) exactly like my husband’s dream Supremo Numero-Uno, whose picture had been stuck on the bathroom mirror for years. My heart beat wildly. I pushed my way through the crowds, and nearly fell into the canoe looking for the price tag. There it was, with the manufacturer’s suggested price at $6,750 plus tax crossed out and a handwritten TO CLEAR $750 AS IS. Must be a mistake. $6000 off? Salesman. I had to talk to a salesman. I spotted a young fellow with a “Hi. I’m Mathew”. “Mathew. Tell me about this El Supremo canoe. What’s wrong with it? Why is it only $750?”

“Oh. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s brand new. We’re closing the store. It’s on clearance like everything else. I’ll go check.” A few minutes later he came back and said, “I’m sorry ma’am. Someone made a mistake on the sale tag. It should be $4,750 for the whole package.”

I felt tears well up in my eyes. “Oh well”, I said sadly. “Of course, it was too good to be true. This is exactly like my husband’s dreamboat. I guess I started to dream myself when I saw that price tag. He’s going to be 62 years old Friday. Had to retire early for his health. It’s been hard on just the pension but the stubborn old fool has been saving $10 every week for years to buy one just like this. I promise I won’t buy anything, but it’s just an old man’s silly dream, you know. Always said he wanted to fish in a canoe after he retired,” my voice lowered and I turned and walked away.

Paragraph 1:

I was already at the mall door when Mathew caught up with me. “Do you have $750 plus $25 for delivery, ma’am?”

Paragraph 2:

“Ma’am. There’s something you should know. This store was my Grandpa’s and the canoe had been ordered by him.

The game of Go (围棋) is an important board game with origins in China from more than 4,000 years ago. In China, Go 【1】 (recognize) as “hand conversations” as well, through which players communicate with each other. 【2】 other words, they “talk” through the placing of pieces on the board. The metaphor (比喻) first 【3】 (use) by Zhi Daolin, a Buddhist master of the Jin Dynasty, reflects the nature of the game. While scholars of his time often lost 【4】(they) in philosophical (哲学的) debates on life and universe, he preferred to play Go 【5】 he believed was full of hows and whys of life.

Master Go players often feel as if they were playing a real-life game: sometimes one can move forward, while at other times, one must slow down: sometimes one can 【6】 (direct) face the challenger, at other times one must take an indirect approach. Appropriate placement of each tiny Go piece is similar to 【7】 one might solve a difficult problem of life. The purpose of 【8】 (play) Go is not just to win but also, more importantly, to seek 【9】 (wise) through the process. The players unite with each other on the board. Instead of fighting as 【10】 (enemy), they cooperate to play a good game. One thoughtless move could ruin the enjoyment.
