Although there are obviously cultural 30 for the differences in emotions and behavior, 31 breakthrough research reveals that the 32 of many puzzling differences between men and women may 33 in the head. Men's and women's brains 34 much in common, but they are definitely not the same 35 size, structure or insight. Broadly speaking, a woman's brain, like her body, is ten to fifteen per cent smaller than a man's, 36 the regions dedicated to language may be more densely 37 with brain cells. Girls generally speak earlier and read faster. The reason may be 38 females use both sides of the brain when they read. In 39 , males rely only on the left side.

Bum rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money. My rate would be $ 50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. “Angel money” it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, I found the number got small. http://www.514t.com 免费提供各种资格考试真题、模拟题、练习题、精选题及答案
http://www.514t.com 免费提供各种资格考试真题、模拟题、练习题、精选题及答案 With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold. As I was searching for “angel money”, I started to build a team who trusted me even though I didn't have money for paychecks yet. Bill Becker was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very famous Media Lab at M. I.T. With his arrival, my company suddenly had a major technology “guy” in-house.
Katherine Henderson, a filmmaker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. Steve White came on as operating officer. He had worked for the developer of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him.
We had some really good people, but we still didn't have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time. Louise was brilliant and missed nothing. She had been watching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success. She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $ 500,000. I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven. “I have confidence in your plan,” she said. “You' 11 do well. You're going to work hard for it, but it' s satisfying when you build your own company.” Who would have thought I'd find an angel so close to home? There were no words sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed. 46. For a newly-established business, bum rate refers to___________.

To get help from a venture-capital company, you may have to__________. [ A ] put up with unfair terms [ B ] change your business line [ C ] enlarge your business scope [ D ] let them operate your business
49. The author easily built a team for his company because__________. [ A ] they were underpaid at their previous jobs [ B ] they were turned down by other companies [ C ] they were confident of the author and his business [ D ] they were satisfied with the salaries in his company 50. Louise decided to lend money to the author because__________. [ A ] she wanted to join his company [ B ] she knew he would build a team [ C ] she knew his plan would succeed [ D ] she wanted to help promote his sales Text 2
Nearly all “speed reading” courses have a “pacing” element--some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached. Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are reading. How do you know when 5 minutes

http://www.514t.com 免费提供各种资格考试真题、模拟题、练习题、精选题及答案 has passed on your watch if you are busy reading the book? Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a pub-lic clock which strikes the quarter hours. Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest books. You should soon notice your accustomed w. p.m. rate creeping up.
Obviously there is little point in increasing your w. p. m. rate if you do not understand what you are reading. When you are consciously trying to increase your reading speed, stop after every chapter ( if you are reading a novel) or every section or group of ten or twelve pages ( if it is a text-book) and ask yourself a few questions about what you have been reading. If you find you have lost the thread of the story, or you cannot remember clearly the details of what was said, reread the section or chapter. You can also try “lightning speed” exercise from time to time. Take four or five pages of the general interest book you happen to be reading and read them as fast as you possibly can. Do not bother about whether you understand or not. Now go back and read them at what you feel to be your \"normal\" w. p. m. rate, the rate at which you can comfortably understand. After a „lightning speed' reading through (probably 600 w. p. m. ) you will usually find that your “normal” speed has increased-perhaps. by as much as 50-100 w. p.m. This is the technique sportsmen use when they usually run further in training than they will have to on the day of the big race.
51. According to the passage, a “pacing” device_________. [ A ]is used to time student' s reading speed [ B ]is not used in most, speed reading courses [ C ] is used as an aid to vocabulary learning [ D ] should be used whenever we read alone 52. In speed reading, looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes_________. [ A ] avoids the need for reading faster http://www.514t.com 免费提供各种资格考试真题、模拟题、练习题、精选题及答案

[ D ] helps you to remember your page number 53. When you are reading a novel, you should check your understanding of the content after_______. [ A ] every chapter [ B ] every section [ C ] every four or five pages [ D ] every ten or twelve pages
54. The purpose of the “lightning speed” exercise is to_________. [ A ] increase your speed by scanning the text first [ B ] test your maximum reading speed
[ C ] help you understand more of the content of the book [ D ] enable you to win reading races against your friends 55. The best title for this passage would be_________. [ A ] Hints for Successful Reading [ B ] Hints for Speed Reading [ C ] Effective Reading [ D ] Lightning Speed Exercises Text 3 There is one difference between the sexes on which virtually every expert and study agree: men are more aggressive than women. It shows up in 2-year-olds. It continues through school days and persists into adulthood. It is even constant across cultures. And there is little doubt that it is rooted in biology in the male sex hormone testosterone. If there's a feminine trait that's the counterpart of male aggressiveness, it's what social scien-tists awkwardly refer to as \"nurturance\". Feminists have argued that the nurturing nature of women is not biological in origin, but rather has been drummed into women by a society that wanted to keep them

Just as tiny infant girls respond more readily to human faces, female toddlers learn much faster than males how to pick up nonverbal cues from others. And grown women are far more adept than men at interpreting facial expressions: A recent study by University of Pennsylvania brain researcher Ru-ben Gur showed that they easily read emotions such as anger, sadness and fear. The only such e-motion men could pick up was disgust. What difference do such differences make in the real world? Among other things, women appear to be somewhat less competitive--or at least competitive in different ways--than men. At the Harvard Law School, for instance, female students enter with credentials just as outstanding as those of their male peers. But they don' t qualify for the prestigious Law Review in proportionate numbers, a fact some school officials attribute to women' s discomfort in the incredibly competitive atmosphere.
Students of management styles have found fewer differences than they expected between men and women who reach leadership positions, perhaps because many successful women deliberately imitate masculine ways. But an analysis by Purdue social psychologist Alice Eagly of 166 studies of leadership style did find one consistent difference: Men tend to be more “autocratic”-making decisions on their own--while women tend to consult colleagues and subordinates more often. Studies of behavior in small groups turn up even more differences. Men will typically domi-nate the discussion, says University of Toronto psychologist Kenneth Dion, spending more time talking and less time listening.

Viewed from a scientist's standpoint, all of the energy contained in fuel

That is to say, it is radiated into the atmosphere from the engines, motors, furnaces, power lines, television sets, boilers and all the other energy-consuming machinery that makes our wheels go around. Browning:
It is necessary to improve the efficiency with. which we use energy in order to do more work. But improvement cannot come overnight, and there are limits beyond which not even science can help. According to the Center for Strategic and International studies, about three quarters of the energy we use to move things, including ourselves, accomplishes no useful work. Jeffrey:
In terms of efficiency, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation may be using en-ergy more efficiently than private automobiles. Unless private automobiles can operate at near capacity, their overall efficiency is poor. For example, an urban bus carrying 36 passengers may achieve an efficiency of around 120 passenger-miles per gallon of gasoline. But buses are not al-ways fully loaded, and sometimes they carry no passengers at all. Vandenberg: It is true that buses can sometimes run without passengers. City trains seem to be very effi-cient, but they suffer the same shortcomings as buses and cost more. Except for rush hours, com-muter trains seldom run at full capacity. This wastes even more energy and is more than the management can afford. As a result, commuter trains are truly practical only in places where there are a lot of people. Nathan:
For some people, mass transportation may serve their needs. For others, a combination of mass transportation and private transportation may be http://www.514t.com 免费提供各种资格考试真题、模拟题、练习题、精选题及答案

Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements
61. Jackson [ A ] City trains and buses have different faults to overcome. 62. Browning [ B ] The efficiency of the city train depends on the size of population. 63. Jeffrey [ C ] Public transportation is usually more energy-efficient.
64. Vandenberg [ D ] Private cars usually run at full capacity. 65. Nathan [ E ] No fuel energy is fully used. [ F ] A combined means of transport can help increase energy efficiency.

http://www.514t.com 免费提供各种资格考试真题、模拟题、练习题、精选题及答案 尽管情绪和行为上的差异明显有文化上的原因，但最近有一项重大突破性的研究表明男女间令人迷惑的差异可能源于大脑. 男性和女性的大脑大部分都一样，但是他们大脑的大小、结构和观察力绝对不一样.大体上说，女人的大脑，就像她们的身体一样，比男人的大脑小10％-15％．因此她们大脑里用于语言的区域里脑细胞要比男人的密集.
女孩子一般说话比较早，读书比较快. 原因可能在于女性在阅读的时候左右脑都用上了. 相反，男人在阅读的时候只用左脑.
在任何年龄女人的记忆力都比男人好. 她们将名字与人物对应起来的能力比男人强，并且她们记清单的能力也比男人强. 人们所记的最清楚的事件是与情感联系在一起的. 因为女人用产生情绪的右脑比男人用的多，所以她们会自动记忆。尽管我们还不知道这些发现预示了什么，但有一点是清楚的：男人和女人的大脑做的是同样的事情，但是他们做的方式不一样.

几乎所有的“快速阅读”课程都有“计划进度”这一部分—一指设定时间以使学生知道自己每分钟看了多少字. 你自己也可以做到这点，只需要每隔5分钟或10分钟看一下手表，然后记下你读到的页码. 查一下你所读的书平均每页有多少字. 在你忙于看书的时候怎么知道5分钟已经过去了呢? 开始是很难. 你可以叫一个朋友在设定的时间提醒你，有些公共大钟每到整刻都会敲响，你可在能够听到钟声的范围内看

http://www.514t.com 免费提供各种资格考试真题、模拟题、练习题、精选题及答案 书. 每三、四天给自己定一个“进度计划”，每次都看同种类的通俗易懂的书. 你很快会发现自己惯常的字／每分钟速率在不断上升.
显然，如果你不明白自己在读什么的话，提高阅读速度也就没有意义. 当你有意识地试着提高阅读速度的时候，读完一章(如果你读的是小说)，一节或者10到20页(如果你读的是课本)停下来问自己几个关于所读内容的问题. 如果你发现自己已经忘记了故事的主线或者不能清楚记得细节，那么把这一章或这一节再读一遍. 你还可以时不时地尝试一下“闪电速度”练习. 在你正在看的符合大众趣味的书中选四或五页来看，能看多快就看多快. 不要在乎是否看得懂. 现在回过头去以你认为“正常”的速度来看那几页书，也就是以你能易于看懂的速度. 在一次“闪电速度”阅读之后(大概每分钟600字)，你通常会发现你的“正常速度”提高了——可能每分钟要提高50-100字. 运动员们也是用这种方法，他们通常在训练的时候跑的比参加大赛时跑的距离要远一些.
51．A 【精析】释义题. 本题答案可由文章第一句话得出. 破折号后面的句子解释了pacing device是用来测试学生阅读速度的. 故选A. 52．C 【精析】细节题. 由文章第一段第四句“How do you know when 5 minutes has passed on your watch if you ale busying reading the book? Well，this is difficult at first．”可知，刚开始的时候每5分钟或者lO分钟看一下表似乎不太现实. 故选C. 53．A 【精析】细节题. 由文章第二段第二句“．．．stop after every chap-ter(if you ale reading a novel)”可知，如果读的是小说的话应该在读完每一章后停一下. 故选A.
54．A 【精析】推理题. 解答本题关键在于理解文章第三段. 本段首先介绍了如何进行闪电阅读练习——首先速读，而后指出了其效果——正常阅读速度得到提高. 并提到运动员也常用类似方法来提高成绩.可见“lightning speed”是通过首先快速浏览文章来提高阅读速度.
55．B 【精析】主旨题.本文的主旨是“提高阅读速度”，文章谈论了“快速阅读”中时间设定及内容理解方面的问题，并推荐了一种练习方法——“闪电速度”，主要是围绕快速阅读而谈.与此有关的选项是B.

如果女性有一种和男性的攻击性相对立的特征的话，那就是社会学家指的“照顾别人”.女权主义者说女性具有照顾别人的天性从根本上来说并非源于生理因素，而是想要女性待在家里的社会所强行赋予女性的.但是太多迹象表明，女人具有“照顾别人的特征”至少有部分是天生的，此类迹象多得不容忽视.就像女婴根据人长相来认人的能力比男婴强；刚学会走路的小女孩在理解别人的非语言性暗示方面比同龄的小男孩学习得快；成年女人比成年男人更擅长理解面部表情：宾夕法尼亚大学的大脑研究家鲁本?戈尔最近所作的一项研究表明女人很容易就能从别人脸上解读出生气，悲伤和害怕之类的情感.而男人唯一可以解读的情感就是恶心.
这种差异对现实世界有什么意义呢? 在很多其他事情中，女性显得稍微比男性缺少竞争力——或者至少她们是以一种不同的方式在竞争. 例如，在哈佛法学院，女生以和男生同样优异的成绩入校.但是她们有相当一部分人在权威性的《法律评论》这门课程上都不舍格，一些学校领导把这个事实归于女生不适应非常激烈的竞争环境. 研究管理模式的学生发现管理层的男性和女性之间差异比预想的要小，或许是因为很多成功的女性都刻意模仿男性做事的方式. 但是Purdue的社会心理学家艾丽丝?伊格利在研究了166名管理人员的工作方式后分析发现了一个一致的区别：男性比较专断独行——独自做决定——而女性则更多地倾向于与同事和下级商量. 对一小组人的行为进行研究发现的差异更多. 多伦多大学的心理学家肯尼斯?迪昂说男性典型地主导讨论，他们发言的时间很多，听别人发言的时间相对较少.
56．A 【精析】主旨题.本文在前两段论述了男女性别的差异，在第三段第一句提出问题“这种差异在现实中有什么意义”，紧接着后面开始阐述这种差别所导致的男女在竞争及工作中的不同表现. 故选A.
57．D 【精析】细节题. 由第二段第三句“But the signs that it is at least partly inborn are too numerous to ignore．”可知，女性的这个特征有先天方面的原因. 故选D. http://www.514t.com 免费提供各种资格考试真题、模拟题、练习题、精选题及答案

59．C 【精析】判断题. 由文章第四段最后一句“Men tend to more…mote often．”可知，男性比较专断而女性则喜欢和同事商量再做决定. 从而看出男女在管理方式上的差异. 故选C.
60．D 【精析】推理题.作者在说男女之间差异时并无偏袒任何一方，而是通过研究结果来分析说明男女的差异，因此是客观的表达，故选D. Part B 参考译文
下面五个人在谈论能源及其利用. 注意每个人观点有何不同.
杰克逊：以科学家的立场来看，不管是现在还是将来，燃料里所含的全部能量都会转变为热量. 有些热量会被直接使用或用于有用的生产. 其余的不是丢失了就是被遗弃了，也就是说，这些热量从引擎、汽车、熔炉、电线、电视机、锅炉、以及所有其他消耗能量的机器上散发到大气中，正是这些机器使我们生活的齿轮得以运转. 布洛林：为了做更多的工作而提高能源使用的效率是很必要的. 但是这种提高不是一夜之间能实现的，而且其中有些限制就连科学也无能为力. 根据国际研究与战略中心发布的报告，我们用来使用东西，包括我们自己，运转的能量中有四分之三做的是无用功. 杰弗里：说到效率，公交车、火车和其他公共交通设施对能源的利用可能比私家车更高效. 除非私家车的容量能被最大限度的使用，否则它们的总效率很低. 比如说，一辆载有36名乘客的市区公交车，它的效率能达到120乘客．英里／加仑汽油.但是公交车不总是满载，有时车上一名乘客也没有.
文登博格：公车上有时确实一个人也没有. 城铁看上去效率很高，但是它们也有和公车相同的缺点，而且成本更高. 除了交通高峰期，载上下班乘客的列车很少满载运行.这浪费了更多的能源，而且造成出资方负担不起的结果. 载上下班乘客的列车只有在人很多的地方才真正实用. http://www.514t.com 免费提供各种资格考试真题、模拟题、练习题、精选题及答案

61．E 【精析】推理题.在第一段第一句话作者说燃料里的能源转化为热量. 第二、三句紧接着说一部分能量被使用，其余的丢失或遗弃了，由此可推出燃料里的能量没有被完全利用. 故选E. 62．G 【精析】推理题. 第二段第二句话说提高能源不是一夜之间能实现的，而且其中有些限制就连科学也无能为力，说明能源浪费是不可避免的，故选G. 63．C 【精析】主旨题.第三段的主旨句是第一句话，意思是“公共交通设施对能源的利用比私家车更高效”，与此一致的是C.
64．B 【精析】细节题. 由第四段短文最后一句“…commuter trains are truly practical only in places where there are a lot of people．”可知城铁是否实用取决于人口的多少. 故选B.
65．F 【精析】主旨题. Nathan明确提出更好的设计和更明智的使用两者至关重要，主张把公共交通设施和私人交通工具结合起来. 故选F. Part A
