第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节 （共10个小题； 每小题2.5分， 满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡将该选项涂黑。
A
I have always thought of myself as a doer. In work, I definitely was and continue to be. As a mom, I?m mostly a doer. However, my treatment for breast cancer made me realize I had not been a doer in the way I wanted to be – but that was about to change.
I have been afraid of flying since I worked in news and covered many plane crashes and had my own horrific experience. My family had never been to another continent together. Now that the chemo (化疗) was over, as a gift to myself, my kids and my mom, I took them all to London to celebrate life before beginning radiation every weekday for six weeks.
This time I decided not to think too much about it. When you look in the mirror without hair, you do your best to get through your day as if it were a day before you discovered your lump (肿瘤). Then everything seems doable. So I just booked the trip.
Our flight on British Airways was my best ever. I don?t know if it was the size of the plane, the comfort of the seats, the TVs or the family friendliness that made the time fly by for me. On every flight, I say a quick hello to the pilot, which calms me. This time, the pilot took extra time to explain the maps and weather patterns and calmed me down. That certainly helped a bit, or was it possible that chemo cured this fear too?
Every day I planned a different adventure – everything from tours of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle to the original bus tour. They learned and loved every minute and shockingly, they didn?t complain.
I had wanted to do so for years. Life and work had gotten in the way, but we finally did it. I planned this incredible trip during chemo and will plan another. Sometimes, the best adventures come after surviving your greatest fears.
21. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to _________.
A. her fear of flying
B. her breast cancer D. the planned family trip
C. the finished chemo
22. On the author?s family?s trip to London, _________.
A. the author overcame her fear of flying thanks to her family B. the kids were not so interested in the places they visited C. the family enjoyed themselves during different adventures
D. the family didn?t visit many places because of the author?s health condition 23. The best title for the text would be __________.
A. Cancer Gets in the Way
B
Research carried out last year stressed the growing challenge facing employers in terms of managing and supporting the UK?s ageing workforce.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics have suggested that the number of people aged 65 and over still working has reached 1.19 million---up 25,000 from a year ago. There were also now more people aged 50-74

in work than ever before. However, the overall trend was hiding the fact that 12% people are forced to stop working before reaching state pension age because of ill health or disability.
Nearly half a million (436,000) workers who are within five years of state pension age have had to leave work for medical reasons, with an apparent divide between the North (worse) and South (better). Those in the lowest-paid jobs, including cleaners, leisure industry workers and people doing heavy laboring jobs, were twice as likely to stop working before retirement age, because of sickness and disability than managers or professionals.
Within this, the needs of the “sandwich generation”---those juggling work with caring for elderly dependents as well as children---needed to be given greater priority (优先权) by employers, a white paper by insurer and healthcare provider concluded.
Its research argued that 66% of managers think the average age of retirement in their organization will increase in the next 5 to 10 years. Yet, 36% reported being unaware of anything their organization did to attract, keep and engage older staff. Fewer than a quarter (23%) of employees said they felt supported by their employer with their responsibilities for caring for a loved one.
This was perhaps unsurprising, given that only 28% of managers said their organization had formal policies and practices in place to support these employees, argues healthcare distribution director Chris Horlick.
24. According to the passage, who is more likely to leave work before retirement age? A. Tom, a physician. C. Henry, a construction worker.
B. Jason, a language teacher. D. Bill, a bank manager.
D. surprising
25. The present support from the employers can be best described as _________. A. moving B. dissatisfying C. inspiring 26. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Old employees are well attended in the UK. B. Aging workforce should be well supported in the UK.
C. Employers show responsibilities for supporting their employees. D. UK employers are facing challenges in supporting aging workforce.
C
Filled with much housework, meals and childcare at home, many people feel that being at work sounds more like having a picnic. Even for those who have a happy family life, they feel actually more stressed at home than at work.
Recently, a study carried out by the researchers at a university in the USA found lower levels of hormone（荷尔蒙） released in response to stress in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home. This was true for both men and women, and parents and people without children.
Both men and women showed less stress at work. But women are more likely to report feeling happier there. Men were more likely to feel happier at home. Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many. “Paid work is more valued in society,” said Sarah Damaske, the lead researcher on the study, “Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”
We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards. Yet none of us, no matter how long we?ve been doing it, ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.

The support and friendship of co-workers also offer stress relief. At home, meanwhile, stress spreads and increases quickly. “That?s the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,” Dr. Damaske says.
Much of the advice to families and couples includes the warning to “leave work stress at office” and even to change our mind-set from work to home, for example, a walk around the block. The recent findings, though, suggest our home life, not our attitude, might be due for some change.
27. According to Paragraph 1, many people feel that being at home _________. A. is like having a picnic B. is an ideal way to manage stress C. offers greater relaxation than at work D. can bring more stress than in the workplace 28. According to Sarah Damaske, _________. A. men feel happier at work than women B. parents without children tend to feel happier C. household work is not as rewarding as work on a job D. both men and women feel happier at home than at work 29. What can make people feel happy at work? A. Recognition of the value of their work. B. A good management of their marriage. C. Much competition among colleagues. D. Forgetting the stress from family life.
30. According to the recent findings, what should we change to solve the problem mentioned? A. Our attitude. B. Our home life. C. Our mind-set.

Common public speaking problems
The use of “I feel”, “I think” and “maybe”
In the question-and-answer session of the speaking competition, many contestants began their answers with uncertain expressions like “I feel”, “I guess”, “I hear”, “maybe” and “perhaps”. These words show that the person is only speaking from his or her point of view. 31 . Work on keeping your answers brief and to the point. Also work on delivering them with calmness and confidence. Instead of the empty-sounding “I guess”, using facts, together with a clear conclusion based on those facts, is far more likely to be popular with an audience. 32
Don?t stick to the same tone. It can be boring. Try to mix it up. For example, when they spoke about their dreams, some sounded romantic. Others used humor. Very few used several different styles together. 33 , rather than just sticking with the same one. Irresponsible answers
34 . You?re responsible for your words. Even though you want to answer quickly, you don?t want to 英语试题卷·第5页（共8页）
