第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity？ There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes a workers life more enjoyable， it does not actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned， then variety is not an important factor（因素）.

Other experts feel that giving the workers freedom to do their job in their own way is important， and there is no doubt（毫无疑问）that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complex machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Therefore while freedom of choice may be important， there is usually very little that can be done to create it.

Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories a worker sees only one part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than a large one， so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is the degree of worker contribution an important factor， but it is also one we can do something about.

To what extent（程度）does more money lead to greater productivity？ The workers themselves certainly think this important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if companies and factories succeed in making their jobs more interesting， they will neither want more money， nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.

21. What does the underlined word “productivity” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean？

A. The activity of producing something. B. The amount of production in a time unit.

C. The plan and the method of production. D. Both the quantity and quality of a product.

22. Why isnt the job enjoyable for a worker on a production line in a car factory？

A. He can only make a part of a car. B. He does not know what he is doing.

C. His life in spare time is more interesting. D. He is not clear about the importance of his job.

23. Which is the best way to make workers work harder according to the author？

A. Increasing their pay. B. Giving them more spare time.

C. Making the work itself meaningful. D. Replacing large production lines with small ones.

24. What might be the best title for this passage？

A. Problems of Modern Workers B. Making Jobs More Interesting

C. Pushing Workers to Produce More D. How to Improve Workers Conditions

Sydney—Mobile phone has become a problem for middle schools. Some middle schools in Australia have banned students from carrying mobile phones during school hours.

Mobile phone use among children is now a problem this year. Several children have got mobile phones as Christmas gifts from their friends， and more students want them.

Should parents talk to a dying child about death？ The answer is “Yes”， according to a Swedish study. They had given the question to 368 parents whose children had died of cancer. About 123 parents said they had talked to their children about death. Almost a third of those didnt think they should.

“The most important thing is that no parents were sorry for talking about death with their children，” said the researchers.

So many experts encourage parents to talk about death with their dying children because they believe it helps the children. Most parents listened to the new study and agreed to do it. Dr Lawrence Wolfe， a child cancer doctor in Boston， said the study would help doctors guide parents who were not sure if they should talk about death with their children. “I believe that even very young children know that something very serious is happening，” he said. “Mystery is usually worse than the truth.”

Mrs Souza said she was frightened when Dr Wolfe said that her daughter Jackie should know that she was dying of cancer. “Youre joking. How do you tell a 16-year-old girl， who has tried every day to get well， that we are giving her up？” But Mrs Souza said she did not feel sorry for what she did. When Jackie knew that she had only four days to live， she asked to spend money on toys instead of giving her treatment. “Her memory just kept living on because she told us exactly what to do and how to do it，” she said. “If we hadnt told her， she would never have said any of that.”

33. Which country carried out the study most probably？

A. America. B. Canada. C. Japan. D. Sweden.

34. How many parents did not tell their children about death according to Paragraph 1？

A. 368. B. 123. C. 245. D. 122.

35. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean according to Dr Lawrence Wolfe？

A. Telling a dying child the truth is better than hiding it.

B. Parents should not tell children the truth of death.

C. Mystery is more terrible than the truth.

D. Death is worse than life.
