II  阅读(共两节, 满分50分)

第一节  阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

A small dog should be belly-up after eating a handful M&M’s, at least according to conventional wisdom. But watching “Moose”, a friend’s five-pound Chihuahua, race around a living room after his sweet snack makes one wonder: Is chocolate truly poisonous to dogs?

Dogs and humans have similar tastes. But unlike humans, our companions experience dangerous effects from eating chocolate —it can poison them and in some cases is fatal. Chocolate’s danger to dogs depends on its quality.

Chocolate is processed from the bitter seeds of the cocoa tree, which contain a family of compounds known as methylxanthines(一种衍生物). This class of substances includes caffeine and the related chemical theobromine(可可碱). Chocolate contains a significant amount of theobromine and smaller amounts of caffeine. These chemicals can cause a dog’s heart to race up to twice its normal rate, and some dogs may run around as if “they drank a gallon of espresso(浓咖啡),” according to Hackett.

Dogs are capable of handling some chocolate, but it depends on the animal’s weight and the type of chocolate it eats. Unsweetened baking chocolate contains more than six times as much theobromine as milk chocolate, although amounts vary between cocoa beans as well as different brands of chocolate. Less than four ounces of milk chocolate is potentially fatal for Moose and other small dogs.

Around every confection-centered holiday — Valentine’s Day, Easter and Christmas — at least three or four dogs are hospitalized overnight in the animal medical center at Colorado State. But in 16 years, Hackett has seen just one dog die from chocolate poisoning, and he suspects it may have had an underlying disease that made it more exposed to chocolate’s heart –racing effect.

26. The underlined expression “belly-up” probably means______.

A. dead   B. poisonous   C. running around   D. having a headache

27. All of the following are true EXCEPT______.

A. chocolate’s danger to dogs depends on its quantity and quality

B. people buy lots of chocolate around Valentine’s Day

C. an ounce of unsweetened baking chocolate is safe for Moose

D. there must be some theobromine or caffeine in espresso

28. What can we learn about Hackett?

A. He is a vet.             B. He is a pet shop owner.

C. He is the owner of Moose        D. He is a doctor in a small hospital.

29. It can be inferred from the passage that Hackett believes that______.

A. chocolate is truly deadly to dogs

B. it’s OK to give chocolate to a big dog

C. pets are usually ignored around confection-centered holidays

D. a healthy dog probably could survive a chocolate poisoning

30. The passage is mainly about______.

A. the poisoning of Moose

B. the compounds of different chocolates

C. a handful M&M’s chocolate is poisonous

D. the relation between methylxanthines and chocolate poisoning

B

If sustainable competitive advantage depends on workforce skills, American firms have a problem. Human-resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States. Skill acquisition is considered an individual responsibility. Labour is simply another factor of production to be hired—rented at the lowest possible cost—much as one buys materials or equipment.

The lack of importance attached to human-resource management can be seen in the corporate management. In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command. The post of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer(CEO). By way of contrast, in Japan the head of human-resource management is central—usually the second most important executive, after the CEO, in the firm's hierarchy.

While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work force, in fact they invest less in the skills of their employees than do either Japanese or German firms. The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees. And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.

As a result, problems arise when new breakthrough technologies arrive. If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers on Germany (as they do), the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United States. More time is required before equipment is up and running in production, and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be used. The result is a slower pace of technological change, and in the end the skills of the bottom half of the population affect the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can't effectively make the processes that have to be operated, the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear.

31. Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American companies?

A. They hire people at the lowest cost with relatively best skills.

B. They see the gaining of skills as their employees' own business.

C. They attach more importance to workers than to equipment.

D. They only hire skilled workers because of keen competition.

32. What is the position of the head of human-resource management in an American firm?

A. He is one of the most important executives in the firm.

B. His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced.

C. He is directly under the chief financial executive.

D. He has no say in making important decisions in the firm.

33. The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to ________ .

A. workers who can operate new equipment

B. technological and managerial staff

C. workers who lack basic background skills

D. top executives

34. According to the passage, the decisive factor in maintaining a firm's competitive advantage is_________ .

A. the introduction of new technologies

B. the improvement of workers' basic skills

C. the rational composition of professional and managerial employees

D. the attachment of importance to the bottom half of the employees

35. What is the main idea of the passage ?

A. American firms are different from Japanese and German firms in human-resource

management.

B. Extensive retraining is necessary to effective human-resource management.

C. The head of human-resource management must be in the central position in a firm' s

hierarchy.

D. The human-resource management strategies of American firms affect their       competitive capacity.

C

Drawings of human colonies on other planets often picture the entire community under a glass or plastic bubble. The bubble is intended to create an atmosphere with adequate oxygen and other essential elements. But similar bubble-like structures have also been constructed on earth. One of the most famous, and controversial, is a site in the Arizona desert.

Biosphere 2, as it is called, was built not far from Tucson in 1984 and is now run by Columbia University. This huge(7,200,000-cubic-foot)glass and steel construction contains several separate ecosystems, including a desert, a rain forest, and a 900,000-gallon “ocean.” The climatic conditions-humidity, temperature, air quality-are regulated by sensors and can be adjusted as needed or desired. For example, a rainstorm can be created to increase the humidity. The adjustable features of Biosphere 2 make it an ideal location to perform experiments to help determine the effects of such climatic changes as global warming.

The current conditions at Biosphere 2 are vastly different from those in 1993, when eight people who had moved into the environment with great fanfare two years earlier moved out in failure. Though promising to be self-sufficient(自足的), these “colonists” had so much trouble regulating the environment that they reportedly had food smuggled into them. Oxygen levels became dangerously low; most plants and animals died. In taking over the unsuccessful site, Columbia hopes to erase its notorious past by focusing on small research projects that gradually answer some of Biosphere 1’s-that is, Earth’s-most basic environment questions.

36.This passage primarily deals with          .

A.conditions of life in Biosphere 2

B.building controlled environments on other planets

C.why Biosphere 2 failed in the past

D.what makes a good biosphere colonist
