閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A.B.C和D項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A different sort of generation gap is developing in the workplace. Someone --- specifically the father-daughter team of Larry and Meagan Johnson --- has figured out that on some American job sites, five generations are working side by side.
In their new book about generations in the workplace the pair argue that while such an age difference adds a lot of texture and a variety of life experiences, it can also bring tensions and conflicts.
The Johnsons are human-resource trainers and public speakers. Dad Larry is a former health-care executive; daughter Meagan is a onetime high-level sales manager.
Here are the oldest and youngest of the five generations they identify:
They call the oldest group Traditionals, born before 1945. They were heavily influenced by the lessons of the Great Depression and World War Two. They respect authority, set a high standard of workmanship, and communicate easily and confidently. But they’re also stubbornly independent. They want their opinions heard.
At the other extreme are what the Johnsons call Linksters, born after 1995 into today’s more complicated, multi-media world. They live and breathe technology and are often social activists.
You won’t find many 15-year olds in the offices of large companies, except as volunteers, of course, but quite old and quite young workers do come together in sales environments like bike shops and ice-cream stores.
The Johnsons, Larry and Meagan, represent a generation gap themselves in their work with jobsite issues. The Johnsons’ point is that as the average lifespan continues to rise and retirement dates get delayed because of the tight economy, people of different generations are working side by side, more often bringing with them very different ideas about company loyalty and work values.
The five generations are heavily influenced by quite different events, social trends, and the cultural phenomena of their times. Their experiences shape their behavior and make it difficult, sometimes, for managers to achieve a strong and efficient workplace.
Larry and Meagan Johnson discuss all this in greater detail in a new book, “Generations, Inc.: From Boomers to Linksters --- Managing the Friction Between Generations at Work,” published by Amacom Press, which is available in all good bookstore from this Friday.
1. The type of generation gap in paragraph 1 refers to the difference in beliefs ________.
A. between managers and workers B. among family members
C. among employees D. between older and newer companies
2. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Traditionals?
A. They’ve learned much from war and economic disaster.
B. They’re difficult to work with as they are stubborn.
C. They respect their boss and hope to be respected.
D. They’re independent workers with great confidence.
3. According to the passage, the Linksters are usually ________.
A. found working in the offices of large companies
B. influenced by media and technology
C. enthusiastic multi-media activists
D. ice-cream sellers
4. According to the passage, modern workforces are more diverse because ________.
A. people want to increase their average lifespan
B. many young people are entering the workforce
C. employees with different values can benefit their companies
D. retirement dates are being delayed for economic reasons
5. What’s the main purpose of the passage?
A. To promote a new book by Larry and Meagan Johnson.
B. To describe the five different workplace generations.
C. To introduce the Johnsons’ research about diverse workforces.
D. To identify a major problem in modern workforces.

By analyzing the DNA of the world’s oldest people,Boston University scientists said they have discovered a genetic signature(特征)of longevity.They expect soon to offer a test that could let people learn whether they can live to a very old age.
The researchers said they had no plans to patent the technique or profit from it.Instead,they expect to make a free test available on the Internet later this month to promote longevity research.
The test might show something that people wouldn’t like to know,the BU scientists warned.Genetic testing often reveals attractive but incomplete information,and it is sometimes difficult to know how to respond.People with genes for extreme longevity could face a series of difficult decisions about their careers,retirement savings,insurance coverage,medical treatments and marriages in old age.
Scientists have long sought to crack the genetic code of healthy aging.On average,people in developed countries can expect to live between 80 and 85 years,largely as a result of improvements in diet and public health.But the oldest of the old—the “wellderly”—live two to three decades longer,often free of mental and physical diseases.
The free test will be available through a public website maintained by the New England Centenarian Study.But to take the test,people will have to provide their own complete genome—which currently can cost thousands of dollars from gene-sequencing companies.
36.What’s the best title of the text?
A.New Discovery of Long Life
B.New Functions of DNA on Long Life
C.Scientists Invented Genes For Longevity
D.The Discovery of the Genetic Code of Healthy Aging
37.The scientists started the program to ________.
A.make more money from it
B.do research on long life
C.become known all over the world
D.find out the function of genes
38.People who live longer in developed countries ________.
A.do not work very hard
B.do much exercise every day
C.have a balanced diet
D.never need to take any medicine
39.If you hope to take the test,you ________.
A.must be healthy enough
B.will spend a lot of money
C.will be charged by the website
D.have to take a series of examinations
40.According to the text people living extremely long
________.
A.will meet with many social problems
B.must save enough money for future use
C.will usually suffer from hunger
D.will have to face many natural disasters

高考英語(yǔ)沖刺閱讀理解專(zhuān)項(xiàng)
I’ve written 14 movies.My characters smoke in many of them, and they look cool and glamorous(有魅力的) doing it.Smoking was an integral(必需的) part of many of my screenplays because I was a heavy smoker.It was part of a bad-boy image I’d cultivated for a long time— smoking, drinking, partying, rock ’n’ roll.
Smoking, I once believed, was every person’s right.The second-hand smoke was non-existent problem invented by professional do-gooders.I put all these views into my plays.
Remembering all this, I find it hard to forgive myself.I have been an accomplice (幫兇) to the murders of untold numbers of human beings.I am admitting this only because I have made a deal with God.Spare me, I said, and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did.
Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with throat cancer, the result of a lifetime of smoking.I am alive but disabled.Much of my larynx (喉) is gone.I have some difficulty speaking; others have some difficulty understanding me.
I haven’t smoked or drunk for 18 months now, though I still take it day by day and pray for help.I believe in prayer and exercise.I have walked five miles a day for a year, without missing even one day.Quitting smoking and drinking has taught me the hardest lesson I’ve ever learned about my own weakness; it has also given me the greatest affection and empathy(同感) for those still addicted.
I don’t think smoking is every person’s right anymore.I think smoking should be as illegal as heroin(海洛因).I’m no longer such a bad boy.I go to church on Sunday.I’m desperate to see my four boys grow up.I want to do everything I can to undo the damage I have done with my own big-screen words and images.
Screen writers know, too, that some movie stars are more likely to play a part if they can smoke —because they are so addicted to smoking that they have difficulty stopping even during the shooting of a scene.
My hands are bloody; so are Hollywood’s.My cancer has caused me to attempt to cleanse(徹底清潔) me.I don’t wish my fate upon anyone in Hollywood, but I beg that Hollywood should stop putting it upon millions of others.
1. The main idea of this passage probably is _________.
A. the writer is ashamed of the bad effects his screenplays have had on human beings
B. the writer’s smoking experience nearly killed himself
C. the bad effects that Hollywood screenplay have brought to children
D. the determination of the writer to overcome his illness
答案解析:答案為A。本題為文章大意題。第一段作者引入話(huà)題,在他創(chuàng)作的電影中,很多人物吸煙,吸煙是他的作品中必需的,這些吸煙的場(chǎng)景影響了人們,
后面的段落介紹作者因?yàn)槲鼰煻忌狭撕戆?,深受其苦,也表達(dá)了他深深的懺悔之意,最后一段表達(dá)作者的希望,希望好萊塢電影不再有吸煙的場(chǎng)景,讓厄運(yùn)降臨到別人身上。故本文的大意為作者對(duì)他的熒幕劇對(duì)人們產(chǎn)生的壞影響感到慚愧。故答案為A。B、D是文中的細(xì)節(jié),C選項(xiàng)在文中未提及,均不選。
2. How do you think the writer has realized his mistake?
A. So many people have found the habit of smoking due to his plays.
B. His plays have brought great harm to teenagers.
C. He himself suffered greatly from smoking.
D. His screenplays have been doing more and more harm to human beings.
答案解析:答案為C。本題為推理題。由第三段的首句提到的 “…I find it hard to forgive myself”和該段最后一句提到的 “…and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did.”, 以及第四段首句 “Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with throat cancer, the result of a lifetime of smoking.” 可知,作者難以原諒自己,將會(huì)努力阻止別人和他一樣犯相同的罪,因?yàn)樗\斷有吸煙導(dǎo)致的喉癌,故答案為C,作者自己深受吸煙之害。
A選項(xiàng)與題干無(wú)關(guān);B選項(xiàng)未提及;D選項(xiàng)夸大了他的作品的危害,均不選。
3. According to the passage, what does the underlined sentence mean?
A. He has made up his mind to give up smoking forever.
B. He will try his best to prevent others from writing screen plays encouraging smoking.
C. He will try his best to bring up his four children.
D. He has decided to write his screenplays without smoking scenes.
答案解析:答案為D。本題為語(yǔ)義理解題。劃線(xiàn)部分所在的句意為“我會(huì)盡我一切所能來(lái)消除我在熒幕上創(chuàng)作的文字和形象給人們帶來(lái)的傷害”。這種傷害來(lái)自第一段提到的作者的作品中吸煙是必需的場(chǎng)景,由此可以推斷,劃線(xiàn)部分意為作者決定在自己的作品中不再有吸煙場(chǎng)景。故答案為D。
4. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. the writer will soon be recovered from his illness thanks to his exercise
B. the writer will soon die because of his deadly disease
C. smoking will be got rid of in all Hollywood films
D. smoking in Hollywood films is still doing great harm to human beings
答案解析:答案為D。本題為推理題。由第四段第二句話(huà) “I am alive but disabled.” 可知,作者雖然活著但是殘疾了,故A、B選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。由最后一段最后一句話(huà) “I don’t wish my fate upon anyone in Hollywood, but I beg that Hollywood should stop putting it upon millions of others.” 可知,作者不希望自己的命運(yùn)降臨到好萊塢的任何人身上,但是乞求好萊塢應(yīng)該阻止吸煙導(dǎo)致的危害降臨到成千上萬(wàn)人的身上,可以推斷,好萊塢電影上出現(xiàn)的吸煙場(chǎng)景仍然在對(duì)人們?cè)斐蓚Γ蔆選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤,D選項(xiàng)正確。

“I got married at 16,”says the smiling Mona Lisa,made famous in Leonardo Da Vinci’s famous painting.She breaks her silence to wave to the audience and answers their questions.
Thanks to 3-D technology,holographic images(全息影像)and voice recognition technologies,Mona Lisa can speak and move.It is the first time the advanced technologies have been fused together in one exhibition,which gives audiences the opportunity to experience the wonders of advanced technology.
Three-dimensional,or 3-D,technology creates visual illusions(錯(cuò)覺(jué))and enables people to see images in the round that are actually only two-dimensional.
Although 3-D technology is a difficult scientific concept,it is already being widely used in people’s daily lives.With the development of new three-dimensional digital technologies,it has been changing people’s ways of communicating and working.
Digital cameras that record in 3-D have been brought to market.
Manufacturers have also launched 3-D digital photo frames,which can broadcast 3-D photos.Processing software allows flat photos in the frame to achieve 3-D visual effects that can be seen by users without wearing special glasses.
After nine years of research,China took the lead to establish a 3-D Internet marketing platform.Internet users can go shopping in a 3-D environment just like in the real world by selecting goods,checking reviews and trying out recommended goods.
Web 3-D technology will be used in more fields such as automobiles and travel.In traveling,tourists can enjoy scenic spots,monuments and sites.They also can take to guides and other tourists,who are represented as 3-D virtual figures.
In Suzhou,the first online 3-D police station in the world has been established.It has eight functions including various online businesses,public services,warning tips and communication between the police and the public.
41.Why can Mona Lisa speak and move?
A.Because it is a robot.
B.Because it can really speak and move.
C.Because the original painting is three-dimensional.
D.Because 3-D creates visual illusions.
42.The underlined word“fused”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “______”.
A.combined B.focused
C.a(chǎn)pplied D.developed
43.3-D technology is already being used in people’s lives in ______.
A.shopping B.work
C.travel D.communication
44.How can we appreciate 3-D photos?
A.By taking photos with 3-D cameras.
B.By wearing special glasses.
C.By putting photos into 3-D digital photo frames.
