问题:共用题干 Ford1 Ford's great strength was the manufacturing process一not invention.Long before he started a car company,he was a worker,known for picking up pieces of metal and wireand turning them into machines.He started putting cars together in 1891.Although it was by no means the first popular automobile,the Model T showed the world just how creative Ford was at combining technology and market.2 The company's assembly line alone threw America's Industrial Revolution into overdrive (高速运转).Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Ford's friends, who were great toolmakers from Scotland,organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line.By the time Ford's Highland Park plant was humming(嗡嗡作响) along in 1914,the world's first automatic conveyor belt could turn out a car every 93 minutes.3 The same year Henry Ford shocked the world with the $ 5-a-day minimum wage scheme,the greatest contribution he had ever made.The average wage in the autoindustry then was $2.34 for a 9-hour shift.Ford not only doubled that,he also took an hour off the workday.In those years it was unthinkable that a man could be paid that much for doing something that didn't involve an awful lot of training or education.The Wall Street Journal called the plan"an economic crime",and critics everywhere laughed at Ford.4 But as the wage increased later to daily $10,it proved a critical component of Ford's dream to make the automobile accessible(可及的)to all.The critics were too stupid to understand that because Ford had lowered his costs per car,the higher wages didn't matter一except for making it possible for more people to buy cars.Ford was the first to adopt________.A:criticized by the mediaB:the low wage in the auto industryC:their lower pricesD:produce cars in large numbersE:the 8-hour shiftF:combined technology and market

问题:共用题干 第二篇Kobe BryantAfter 10 seasons wearing the No 8 on his back,Kobe Bryant will become No 24 next season.The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.Bryant wore No 24 when he was in early high school,but he changed to No 33 in his senior year.He switched to No 8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996,and has not been changed since.Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs(季后赛).So guessing Bryant's motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists(专栏作家).There are all kinds of speculations.Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start.He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole.Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan.Jordan was famous for his No 23 jersey(运动衫).Some, such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre,argue that it is"all about money".Bryant will make more money by selling new jerseys to his fans.Some speculations are more about fun.For example,there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard(非常执着的)fan of the popular TV drama "24".All this talk has turned the number change into a major issue.It seems that there is a lot of fuss(大惊小怪)over something that should be pretty simple.Jersey numbers have their own special significance in American sports,especially basketball.Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career.When a great player retires,his team will honor him by retiring his number.To some extent,the jersey is the player,and the player is the jersey.Thus,when you see the famous No 23 for the Chicago Bulls,you immediately think about Michael Jordan.A No 32 Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille O'Neal,and the Houston Rockets' No 11 belongs only to Yao Ming.Lots of stories are behind players' jersey number selections.Jordan said that he chose No 23 because it was roughly half of 45.Jordan's elder brother wore the No 45 in college.Yao Ming once revealed that the No 11 stands for two people in love一meaning him and his girlfriend Ye Li.Why did Jordan choose No 23?A:Because that number would make him famous.B:Because that number would make his fans miss him.C:Because that number was related to the number his brother once wore.D:Because that number was easy to remember.
问题:We will abide by their decision.A:persist in B:stick to C:safeguard D:apply

问题:共用题干 Adult Education1 Voluntary learning in organized courses by mature men and women is called adult education.Such education is offered to make people able to enlarge and interpret their experience as adults.Adults may want to study something which they missed in earlier schooling,get new skills or job training,find out new technological developments,seek better self-understanding,or develop new talents and skills.2 This kind of education may be in the form of self-study with proper guidance through the use of libraries,correspondence courses,or broadcasting.It may also be acquired collectively in schools and colleges,study groups,workshops,clubs,and professional associations.3 Modern adult education for large numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the rise of the Industrial Revolution.Great economic and social changes were taking place:people were moving from rural areas to cities;new types of work were being created in an expanding factory system.These and other factors produced a need for further education and reeducation of adults.4 The earliest programs of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 179Os,with the founding of an adult school in Nottingham and a mechanics institute in Glasgow.The earliest adult education institution in the United States was founded by Benjamin Franklin and some friends in Philadelphia in 1727.5 People recognize that continued learning is necessary for most forms of employment today.For example,parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining programs at work or even to learn completely new jobs.Adult education programs are springing up constantly to meet these and other needs.Paragraph 4______A:Necessity for Developing Adult EducationB:Early Days of Adult EducationC:Ways of Receiving Adult EducationD:Growth of Adult EducationE:Institutions of Adult Education F:Definition of Adult Education
问题:共用题干 Why would They Falsely Confess?Why on earth would an innocent person falsely confess to committing a crime?To most people,it just doesn't seem logical.But it is logical,say experts,if you understand what can happen in a police interrogation(审讯)room.Under the right conditions,people's minds are susceptible(易受影响的)to influence, and the pressure put on suspects during police grillings(盘问)is enormous.______(1) “The pressure is important to understand.because otherwise it's impossible to understand why someone would say he did something he didn't do.The answer is:to put an end to an uncomfortable situation that will continue until he does confess.”Developmental psychologist Allison Redlich recently conducted a laboratory determine how likely people are to confess to things they didn't do.______(2)The researchers then intentionally crashed the computers and accused the participants of hitting the“alt”key to see if they would sign a statement falsely taking responsibility.Redlich's findings clearly demonstrate how easy it can be to get people to falsely confess:59% percent of the young adults in the experiment immediately confessed.______(3)Of the 15-to 16year-olds,72 percent signed confessions,as did 78 percent of the 12-to 13-year-olds.“There's no question that young people are more at risk,”says Saul Kassin,Professor at Williams College,who has done similar studies with similar results.______(4)Both Kassin and Redlich note that the entire“interrogation”in their experiments consis-ted of a simple accusation一not hours of aggressive questioning一and still,most participants falsely confessed.Because of the stress of a police interrogation,they conclude,suspects can become con-vinced that falsely confessing is the easiest way out of a bad situation.______(5)______(5)A:In her experiment,participants were seated at computers and told not to hit the“alt” key,because doing so would crash the systems.B:“In some ways,”says Kassin,“false confession becomes a rational decision.”C:“It's a little like somebody's working on them with a dental(牙的)drill, ”says Frank-lin Zimring,a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley.D:“But adults are highly vulnerable too.”E:How could an innocent person admit to doing something he didn't do?F:Redlich also found that the younger the participant,the more likely a false confession

问题:共用题干 第三篇Book Shops in LondonLondoners are great readers.They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books一specially paperbacks,which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises inthe costs of printing. They still continue to buy"proper"books,too,printed on good paper and bound between hard covers.There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London.Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found,from the celebrated one which boasts of being"the biggest bookshop in the world"to the tiny,dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dicken's time. Some of these shops stock,or will obtain,any kind of book,but many of them specialize in second-hand books,in art books,in foreign books,in books on philosophy,politics or any other of the myriad subjects about which books may be written.One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet.Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books,Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes,the collector must venture off the beaten track,to Farringdon Road,for example,in the East Central district of London.Here there is nothing so grandiose as bookshops.Instead,the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on the small barrows(流动集售货车)which line the gutters(街沟).And the collectors,some professional and some amateur, who have been waiting for them,pounce(一把抓住)upon the dusty cascaded(一叠叠图书).In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.The best topic for this passage is________.A:Bookshops in LondonB:The biggest bookshop in the worldC:Charring Cross RoadD:Buying books in London
问题:共用题干 “Salty” Rice Plant Boosts HarvestsBritish scientists are breeding a new generation of rice plants that will be able to grow in soil containing salt water. Their work may enable abandoned farms to become productive once more.Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo,from Sussex University's School of Biological Sciences,have spent several years researching how crops,such as rice,could be made to grow in water that has become salty.The pair have recently begun a three-year programme,funded by the Biotechnology and Bio-logical Sciences Research Council,to establish which genes enable some plants to survive salty conditions.The aim is to breed this capability into crops,starting with rice.It is estimated that each year more than 10m hectares(公顷)of agricultural land are lost because salt gets into the soil and stunts(妨碍生长)plants. The problem is caused by several fac- tors. In the tropics, mangroves(红树林)that create swamps(沼泽)and traditionally formed barriers to sea water have been cut down.In the Mediterranean,a series of droughts have caused the water table to drop,allowing sea water to seep(渗透)in. In Latin America , irrigation often causes problems when water is evaporated(蒸发)by the heat,leaving salt deposits behind.Excess salt then enters the plants and prevents them functioning normally.Heavy concentra-tions of minerals in the plants stop them drawing up the water they need to survive.To overcome these problems,Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take in very little salt and store what they do absorb in cells that do not affect the plants' growth.They have started to breed these characteristics into a new rice crop,but it will take about eight harvests before the resulting seeds are ready to be considered for commercial use.Once the characteristics for surviving salty soil are known,Flowers and Yeo will try to breed the appropriate genes into all manners of crops and plants.Land that has been abandoned to na-ture will then be able to bloom again,providing much needed food in the poorer countries of the world. Which of the following statements about Flowers and Yeo is true?A: They are students at Sussex University.B: They are rice breeders.C: They are husband and wife.D: They are colleagues at an institution of higher learning.
问题:共用题干 Mau Piailug,Ocean NavigatorMau sailed from Hawaii to Tahiti using traditional methods.In early 1976,Mau Piailug,a fisherman,led an expedition in which he sailed a tradi-tional Polynesian boat across 2,500 miles of ocean from Hawaii to Tahiti.The Polynesian Voyaging Society had organised the expedition.Its purpose was to find out if seafarers(海员) in the distant past could have found their way from one island to the other without naviga-tional instruments,or whether the islands had been populated by accident.At the time,Mau was the only man alive who knew how to navigate just by observing the stars,the wind and the sea.He had never before sailed to Tahiti,which was a long way to the south.However,he understood how the wind and the sea behave around islands,so he was confident he could find his way.The voyage took him and his crew a month to complete and he did it without a compass or charts.His grandfather began the task of teaching him how to navigate when he was still a baby.He showed him pools of water on the beach to teach him how the behaviour of the waves and wind changed in different place.Later,Mau used a circle of stones to memorise the positions of the stars.Each stone was laid out in the sand to represent a star.The voyage proved that Hawaii's first inhabitants came in small boats and navigated by reading the sea and the stars.Mau himself became a keen teacher,passing on his traditional secrets to people of other cultures so that his knowledge would not be lost.He explained the positions of the stars to his students,but he allowed them to write things down because he knew they would never be able to remember everything as he had done.Mau was familiar with the sea around Tahiti.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned

问题:共用题干 Travel Across AfricaFor six hours we shot through the barren(荒芜的)landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa.Just rocks and sand and baking sun.Knowing our journey was ending,Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done.He used a camera.I used words.I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth,a beautiful leather notebook I'd bought in a market in Mozambique.Southern Africa was full of stories and visions.We were almost drunk on sensations,the roaring(咆哮)of the water at Victoria Falls,the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.And then the other things:dogs in the streets,whole families in Soweto living in one room,a kilometre from clean water.As we drove towards the setting sun,a quietness fell over us.The road was empty一we hadn't seen another car for hours.And as I drove,something caught my eye,something moving close enough to touch them,to smell their hot breath.I didn't know how long they had been there next to us.I shouted to Dan:“Look!”But he was in a deep sleep,his camera lying useless by his feet.They raced the car for a few seconds,then disappeared far behind us,a memory of hero-ic forms in the red landscape.When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.“Wild horses?”he said.“Why didn't you wake me up,Sophia?”“I tried.But they were gone after a few seconds.”“Are you sure you didn't dream it?”“You were the one who was sleeping!”“Typical”,he said.“The best photos are the ones we never take.”We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.Daniel and Sophia saw a lot of wonderful things.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned

问题:共用题干 Brotherly LoveAdidas and Puma have been two of the biggest names in sports shoe manufacturing for over half a century.Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes,World Cup一winning football heroes,Muhammad Ali,hip hop stars and rock musicians famous all over the world.But the story of these two companies begins in one hoise in the town of Herzogenaurach,Germany.Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker.They loved sport but complained that they could never find comfortable shoes to play in.Rudolph always said,“You cannot play sports wearing shoes that you'd walk around town with.”So they started making their own.In 1920 Adolph made the first pair of athletics shoes with spikes(钉),produced on the Dasslers,kitchen table.On 1st July 1924 they formed a shoe company,Dassler Brothers Ltd and they worked together for many years.The company became successful and it provided the shoes for Germany's athletes at the 1928 and 1932 Olympic Games.But in 1948 the brothers argued.No one knows exactly what happened,but family mem-bers have suggested that the argument was about money or women.The result was that Ad-olph left the company.His nickname was Adi,and using this and the first three letters of the family name,Dassler,he founded Adidas.Rudolph relocated across the River Aurach and founded his own company too.At first he wanted to call it Ruda,but eventually he called it Puma,after the wild cat.The famous Pu-ma logo of the jumping cat has hardly changed since.After the big split of 1948 Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again and their companies have now been in competition for over sixty years.Both companies were for many years the market leaders,though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma.A hip hop group,Run DMC,has even written a song called“My Adidas”and in 2005 Adidas bought Reebok,another big sports shoe company.The terrible family argument should really be forgotten,but ever since it happened, over sixty years ago,the town has been split into two.Even now,some Adidas employees and Puma employees don't talk to each other.The brothers argued about the shoes.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mention
问题:共用题干 How Technology Pushes Down Prices1 Prices have fallen in the food business because of advances in food production and distribution tech- nology.Consumers have benefited greatly from those advances.People who predicted that the world would run out of food were wrong.We are producing more and more food with less and less capital.Food is there- fore more plentiful and cheaper than it has ever been.Spending on food compared with other goods has fallen for many years,and continues to drop.2 Supermarkets have helped push down prices mainly because of their scale.Like any big business,they can invest in IT systems that make them efficient.And their size allows them to buy in bulk.As super- markets get bigger,the prices get lower.3 Huge retail companies such as Wal-Mart have tremendous power and they can put pressure on pro- ducers to cut their margins.As a result,some producers have had to make cuts.In recent years,Unilever has cut its workforce by 33,000 to 245,000 and dropped lots of its minor brands as part of its"path to growth"strategy.Cadbury has shut nearly 20 per cent of its 133 factories and cut 10 per cent of its 55,000 global workforce.These cuts help keep costs down,and the price of food stays low.4 Does cheap food make people unhealthy?Cheap food may encourage people to eat more.Food com- panies certainly think that giving people more food for their money makes them buy more.Giving people big- ger portions is an easy way of making them feel they have got a better deal.That is why portions have got larger and larger. In America,soft drinks came in 80z(225g)cans in the past,then 120z(350g),and now come in 200z(550g)cans.If a company can sell you an 80z portion for$7,they can sell you a 120z portion for$8.The only extra cost to the company is the food,which probably costs 25 cents.5 Now companies are under pressure to stop selling bigger portions for less money.But it is hard to change the trend.Besides cutting its workforce,Unilever also abandoned its _________.A:their workforceB:huge portionsC:large quantitiesD:their moneyE:a good bargainF:minor brands
