Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two-thirds of the world’s population lives within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.

In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be expected to supply many of man’s needs.

The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be developed.

Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by eastern people.

Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.

Technology is enabling man to explore even more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.

The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2020 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.

51. Which of the following are the types of resources that sea offer man?

A. fish, shellfish and oil          B. food, gas and oil

C. warm temperature and ocean currents       D. food, energy sources and minerals

52. How can the warm temperature of the ocean be used as a possible source of energy?

A. It can be used as a huge air-conditioner to warm the ship.

B. It can work in a way similar to the steam in a steamboat.

C. The heat of the warm ocean can be transported to factories.

D. The heat of the warm ocean can be stored and delivered.

53. We can conclude from this passage that ______.

A. the sea resources have largely been used up

B. the sea in the broad sense, has not yet been developed

C. the problems stopping us from developing the sea have been solved

D. modern technology is good enough to exploit all the sea resources

54. The following statements are true except ______.

A. Over half of the world’s population lives within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.

B. Resources on land are used up while the sea still can be developed to supply man’s needs.

C. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years.

D. Previously, fishing is an old skill practiced mainly by eastern people.

55. The best title for this passage is ______.

A. Harvesting the sea with technology       B. Supplying Sea Food

C. Technology for Developing the Sea       D. Man and the Sea

D

The word proactivity is fairly common in management literature, but you won’t find it in the dictionary. It means that as a human being you take responsibility for your own life.

Look at the word responsibility: ability to choose your response, response-ability. Effective people are proactive because they take responsibility. Their behavior is a product of their own decisions, based on values, rather than being a product of their own conditions, based on feelings. For instance, you are planning a picnic with your family. You’re excited. You have all the preparations. You’ve decided where to go, and then it becomes stormy, killing your plan. Proactive people carry weather within them. They realize what their purpose really was, and they creatively have a picnic elsewhere even if it’s in their own basement with some special games, and make the best of that situation. The opposite of being proactive is to be reactive. Reactive people would say, “What’s the use?” “We can’t do anything.” “Oh, this is so upsetting after all of our preparations and arrangements.” They try to persuade the people around them and usually the picnic will be cancelled.

Being proactive is really just being true to your human nature. Your basic nature is to act, and not to be acted upon. That’s true, despite widely accepted theories of determinism (宿命论) used to explain human nature. Determinism says that you don’t really choose anything and that what you call choices are nothing more than automatic responses to outside conditions.

The language of reactive people is like: “I can’t.” “Don’t have time.” “I have to.” “I must.” The whole spirit of that language is the transfer of responsibility. They think things are determined by their environment, or by their conditions or their genetic (基因的) makeup. Psychologically, people who believe they are determined will produce the evidence to support the belief, and they increasingly feel victimized and out of control. They’re not in charge of their life at all.

On the contrary, a proactive person exercises free will, the freedom to choose the response that best applies to his values. In that way, he gains control over the circumstances, rather than being controlled by them.

56. According to the passage, a proactive person’s behavior can result from ______.

A. the environment       B. an inner belief       C. the genetic makeup  D. a temporary feeling

57. When a picnic plan is threatened by a sudden storm, reactive people will probably ______.

A. have the picnic as planned B. make the best of the picnic

C. complain and give up the picnic D. find somewhere else for the picnic

58. What does “carry weather within them” in the second paragraph probably mean?

A. Manage to improve the weather. B. Give in to the weather passively.

C. Stress the influence of the weather. D. Find a solution to the weather problem.

59. The characteristics which can describe what a proactive person is like could be ______.

A. independent, cautious, flexible B. flexible, confident, sensitive

C. independent, active, confident D. generous, responsible, determined

60. It can be concluded from the passage that determinists ______.

A. accept things passively  B. are in charge of themselves

C. are similar to proactive people D. respond to outside conditions actively

第二节: 下面文章中有5处(第61～65题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

A. Study your industry.        B. Avoid common mistakes.

C. Don’t overwork yourself.       D. Get to know your boss better.

E. Improve your communication skills.    F. Always come to the table with a solution.

With a new year approaching, many people have an “out with the old and in with the new” mentality — and work is usually a big part of that. If you’re feeling that way, here are several tips that can help you become better at your job in 2015.

61. ________

One of the most common mistakes made by both managers and employees today, is that too often, both are afraid to come to the table and talk about essential issues. Taylor says, “Fear of conflict is so overwhelming (无法抵抗的), but if you communicate bravely, more frequently, and honestly in 2015, and you’re not afraid to work through conflict, you’ll likely reduce your stress and be a better worker.” Too much time is spent reflecting on misunderstood employee communications, which, if left unaddressed, eventually leads to conflict.

62. ________

“Your boss controls your destiny (命运) so it’s in your best interest to get to know them better both personally and professionally,” says Andy Teach, author of From Graduation to Corporation: The Practical Guide to Climbing the Corporate Ladder One Rung at a Time. “It doesn’t mean you need to be friends with them or hang out with them, but you do need to learn what makes them tick. The more you communicate with your boss, the better it is for you.”

63. ________

“Share ideas with context and a clear path for implementation (执行) for the leader to evaluate. The more you present any issues with recommended solutions and then implement those solutions in a timely and effective manner, the more the leadership team will rely on you and think about you for future projects and new responsibilities,” Meador says.

64. ________

If you’re already an overachiever, have been called a “workaholic,” or are generally exhausted, then you need to slow down and break the habit of setting impossible goals for yourself in the New Year. You may have to readjust and expect, say 75% of your workload to be achieved in a set period in order to feel fulfilled. If you’re a manager, this approach may take some of unnecessary pressure off staff, too.

65. ________

“Your industry is changing all the time and you need to keep up with what’s happening now,” Teach says. Most industries have trade magazines or websites that have the latest news in that industry. It’s important to read these so that you are well informed and can discuss recent industry events and changes with your co-workers, supervisors, and management. Information is power.

Knowing that our library is going to buy books, I’d like to give some suggestion.

That we need most are popular science books. Usually popular science books explain basic principles of nature in simple and interesting way. They helped us understand science subjects better and arouse our curious about scientific discoveries.

In addition to read for knowledge, we read for fun and inspiration. That is because I recommend other category of books: literary books. Classic works, written by famous writers are present great thoughts through fascinating stories and language. They not only offer us joy and excitement, but also encourage us to think critical.

I’ll be glad if you can consider my recommendation.

Yours sincerely

Li Yue
