1、1语篇阅读提能(二)阅读理解What do you have in mind when you think about your type of personality? The MyersBriggs Test offers 94 questions designed to divide people into different groups according to 16 personality types. Career advisors often use these results to show people the jobs that are likely to fit the
2、ir personality and be pleasing in the long run.Part of whats made the test so popular with the general public is that its impossible to fail. While other tests are designed to find out what mental (精神的) illness someone has, the MyersBriggs Test supposes that all 16 types represent shades of normal.
3、Everyone who takes the test will belong to one of these types, and all of the types have a place in society.Of course, this quality of the test is also one of the reasons why many experts question its usefulness, placing it only a step or two above astrology (占星术). They think the results are not exa

Pittenger wrote in 1993， “The descriptions of each type are generally making you feel important or special so that most people will accept the statements as true of themselves.”Another reason why experts question
5、 the scientific quality of MyersBriggs is that the answers are totally selfreported. Analysts can spend hours explaining the results, but in the end, the test depends on whether testtakers can honestly answer questions about their own behaviors and preferences.On the whole, many psychologists feel t

But is it worth the millions of dollars people spend each year to run such a test? Its hard to say. We live in a culture

45、读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中，选出最佳选项。AOne day the employees of a large company in St Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door.The sign said, “Yesterday the person who has been hindering(阻碍) your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to
46、 join the funeral(葬礼) in the room that has been prepared in the gym.”At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be.The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respec
47、t. Everyone wondered, “Who is this person that was hindering my progress? Well，at least hes no longer here.”One by one the employees got closer to the coffin(棺材) and when they looked inside it they became speechless.They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the de
48、epest part of their souls.There was a mirror inside the coffin: Everyone who looked inside it could see himself.There was also a sign next to the mirror that said, “There is only 6one person who can set limits to your growth: it is YOU.”You are the only person who can revolutionize (彻底改变) your life.
49、 You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success.You are the only person who can help yourself.Your life does not change when your family change, when your friends change, when your boss changes, and when your company changes.Your life changes when YOU cha

51、lives is down to usDwe will have a better future if people do not hinder our developmentC 解析：写作意图题。根据最后一段 Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.可推断出作者写这篇文章的目的是想告诉我们生活的改变是由我们自己决定的。22People were
52、 speechless when they looked inside the coffin because_Athere was nothing but a mirror insideBthey could see their own souls insideCtheir closest colleague lay insideDwhat was inside told a great truthD 解析：推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知，这里的意思是指当他们向棺材内看时，无言以对，因为棺材内的东西告诉了他们一个伟大的事实。23What can we conclude from the art
53、icle?AThe employees went to the gym to join the funeral.BThe lesson the employees learned would influence them greatly.CThe employees lives depended on the attitude of their boss.DThe employees got angry after the funeral.B 解析：推理判断题。棺材内的东西告诉了我们一个伟大的事实，所以从文章可以推断出员工学到的这一课将会对他们产生巨大的影响。BThe African elep
54、hant, the largest land animal remaining on earth , is of great importance to African ecosystem(生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big planteater, it largely shapes the forestandsavanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives, ther
55、efore setting_the_terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.It is the elephants great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it
56、 kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in 7numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other
57、 planteaters.Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In suc
58、h situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed planteaters to move around and for small planteaters to get their food as well.What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will als
59、o disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.24What is the passage mainly about?ADisappearance of African elephants.BForests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.CThe effect of African elephants search for food.DThe eating habit of A
60、frican elephants.C 解析：主旨大意题。往往文章的第一段和最后一段都是透露文章主旨的地方，而本文正是这样。我们从这两段可以读出，这篇文章主要讲了非洲象寻找食物所带来的影响，所以应该选择 C。25What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms”(Para.1) most probably mean?AFixing the time.BWorsening the state.CImproving the quality.DDeciding the conditions.D 解析：词义猜测题。根据上半句和画线部分后的 existe

AThey result from the destruction of rain forests.BThey provide food mainly for African elephants.CThey are home to many endangered animals.DThey are attractive to planteating animals of different kinds.D
62、解析：细节理解题。open spaces 出现在文中的第二段的第三句和第四句。从第四句中我们可以得知这样的空地很容易吸引各种各样的食草动物，所以选择 D。27The passage is developed mainly by_Ashowing the effect and then explaining the causes Bpointing out similarities and differences Cdescribing the changes in space order Dgiving examplesA 解析：推理判断题。通读文章可知，这篇文章是先讲述大象寻找食物所带来的影
63、响，然后解释原因，所以要选择 A。C8Golden lion tamarins(金头狮狨 ) are part of the monkey family.These small creatures live in thick forests in Brazil, South America.They travel in small groups in search of food.They hide and sleep in the hollow(洞) of a tree.They take very good care of their babies. Even the male tamar

66、s also hunted for its fur.Orangutan(猩猩) is a longarmed, redfurred animal that lives in the warm, wet forests on the islands of Bomeo and Sumatra in Southeast Asia. It looks like a man in many ways. So it is named orangutan, which means “man of the woods”. Orangutans are in danger only because of peo
67、ple. People are cutting down the forests where they live and hunting orangutans. The hunters kill the mothers and sell the babies to zoos.

68、nd of foodbamboo shoots(竹笋). But there are not always enough bamboo plants to be found. Every hundred years the bamboo plants produce seeds and die. It then takes several years for the seeds to grow. By the time the plants are big enough to eat, many giant pandas have already died of hunger.28What d
69、o we learn about golden lion tamarins?AThey usually search for food alone.BMales seldom look after the young.CThey are hardly seen when they are asleep.DThey can be easily seen because they are big.C 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的 They hide and sleep in the hollow(洞) of a tree.可推断金头狮狨睡觉的时候不容易被发现。29European otters
70、are hunted mainly because_Apeople like keeping them as petsBhunters want their meatCzoos want to keep themDthey have valuable furD 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的 It is also hunted for its fur.可知欧洲水獭被猎人捕杀是因为它们的皮毛很值钱。30What is the biggest threat to giant pandas in China?AThey have only one choice of food.BHunters dont know how to look after the babies.CThey cannot move fast to look for food.DThe forests wher
