第1题：

If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A well-known scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1937), concluded from other men's work and his own among people in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities. He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.

Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature. Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!

第2题：

What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow , orange ,red? If you do ,you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet,shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know,because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tells us, among other facts,that we do not choose our favourite clour as we grow up----we are born with our preference.If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
Colours do influence our moods----there is no doubt about it .A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand ,black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ----until it was repainter green.The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply ;perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
Light and bright colours make people not only hppier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better,harder ,and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
"You would rather follow than red" means_______.

a.you don't like to follow others
b.you would be a member rather than a leader
c.you would be afraid of following others
d.you would like to be a leader rather than a follower

第4题：

资料：As a startup founder, my daily tasks include everything from long-term strategic planning to approving team outings and company culture initiatives. Day after day, things inevitably come up that need to get handled ASAP. But l've also learned that if you don't have a strategy for making time for those bigger ambitions and your truly lofty goals, they'll simply never get done. And that means you won't make the progress that's really going to move your business forward.
1. FIND YOUR MOST PRODUCTIVE TIME
Face it. You aren't cranking out work at absolute peak productivity for the entire day. Instead are likely certain times when you are at your most focused and other times when your energy wanes. That's normal. Maybe for you, it's bright and early in the morning, before anyone else arrive in the office, when you do your best work. Whenever it is, identity that when you feel your most productive, and then reserve it on your calendar like you would any other important meeting. You need to protect this block of time from intrusion-it isn't optional. That way you're guaranteed to have a regular, designed period when you can at least on those bigger to-dos.
2. CREATE PHYSICAL BARRIERS
Nobody works in a vacuum. We all have to collaborate with others to some degree or another. And it's the people we work closest with whom we tend to put first-we want to be readily available if they need our help. But there are times you need to tune out the distractions and forces if you're going to get any meaningful work done.
One of the most effective methods l've found is to put physical barriers between us. I'll work from a conference room or even from home on accession in order to get some literal space from people needing "just one quick thing. "

What can be inferred from paragraph 3 ?

A.You have to be readily available in the office.
B.People cannot work in a vacuum.
C.People in the office love helping others.
D.Sometimes we have to decline colleagues' requests.

答案：D

Passage Four

If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ells- worth Huntington (1876-1947) concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and: temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.

He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat is. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that mental, abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.

【主题句】第2自然段Face it: You aren’t cranking out work at absolute peak productivity for the entire day. Instead, there are likely certain times when you’re at your most focused and other times when your energy wanes. 面对现实：你绝不可能一整天都处于绝对高产的峰值。事实上，往往你在固定的时间内最为专心，而在其余时间里精力则会衰退。
【解析】题干意为“与第2自然段的‘wanes’意思最相近的选项是哪一个？” 选项A意为“增加”；选项B意为“最高点”；选项C意为“减少”；选项D意为“消失”。根据主题句可知，前半句说的是注意力最集中的时候，那后半句应该说的是相反的意思，也就是注意力减少，故选项C正确。
