2014高考英語閱讀理解抓分精品訓(xùn)練（41）及答案閱讀理解dhave you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? when you select your career, theres a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. if you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the jobs pay. there are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. here are a few of those main areas;1) do you prefer working alone or with other people? there are isolating（使孤立）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. there are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2) how do you handle change?most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. if you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes dont happen so often. other people would be bored of the same daily routine.3) do you enjoy working with computers？ i do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. there are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. again, these are extremes and youll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4) what type of work environment do you enjoy？ this can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you wont know immediately to a smaller setting where youll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.5) how do you like to get paid? some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. the variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this. anyway, these are a great starting point for you. ive seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. it may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.13. what is unnecessary in your job hunting? a. assessing your skillsb. going to different areasc. matching your skills with a position d. taking your personality into consideration14. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. isolating jobs usually drive people mad. b. interactive jobs make people shy easily. c. extreme people tend to work with others. d. almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.15. what is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?a. design. b. changes. c. cooperation. d. hobbies.skillsjobs environment motivationstability ?16. what is the best title for this passage?a. lifestyles and job pay b. jobs and environment c. job skills and abilities d. personalities and jobs參考答案bdcbc82013山東卷 cyou cant always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. but designer mikhail belyaev doesnt think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. thats why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rainsensing umbrella.the designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in russia. “once, i was driving on a central saint petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. i thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(傘篷)built into a street lamp，” he said.the lampbrella is a standardlooking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. it has a builtin electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. sensors(傳感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining. in addition to the rain sensor, theres also a 360 motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the lampbrella.after three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.according to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. being installed(安裝) at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.while there are no plans to take the lampbrella into production, belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one moscow department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.66. for what purpose did belyaev create the lampbrella?a. to predict a heavy rain. b. to check the weather forecast.c. to protect people from the rain. d. to remind people to take an umbrella.67what do we know from belyaevs words in paragraph 2?a. his creation was inspired by an experience.b. it rains a lot in the city of saint petersburg.c. street lamps are protected by canopies.d. he enjoyed taking walks in the rain.68which of the following shows how the lampbrella works?a. motorcanopysensors b. sensorsmotorcanopyc. motorsensorscanopy d. canopymotorsensors69what does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?a. its moving speed. b. its appearance.c. its installation. d. its safety.70what can be inferred from the last paragraph?a. the designer will open a company to promote his product.b. the lampbrella could be put into immediate production.c. the designer is confident that his creation is practical.d. the lampbrella would be put on show in moscow.【要點綜述】 這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹設(shè)計師mikhail belyaev設(shè)計的lampbrella，它能給街道上的人們遮雨。雖然這一設(shè)計還沒有實施，但是mikhail belyaev卻對自己的設(shè)計很自信。66c考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。從第一段的“but designer mikhail belyaev doesnt think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. thats why he created lampbrella”可知mikhail belyaev設(shè)計lampbrella是為了給街道上的人們遮雨的。67a考查推理判斷。從mikhail belyaev 說的話“i was drivingand saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. i thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy built into a street lamp.”可知，他的創(chuàng)意靈感來自他的一次生活體驗。故選a。68b考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。從第三段的內(nèi)容可找到答案，lampbrella工作的過程是先通過傳感器(sensors)，傳到發(fā)動機(jī)(motor)，再到傘篷(canopy)打開。故選b。69d考查主旨大意。從本段的“so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians”和“being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians”可知該段是講lampbrella的安全性。70c考查推理判斷。從本段mikhail belyaev說的話看出他對自己的設(shè)計很自信。故選c。walking

the heart as well as in the head，according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收縮)and pumping blood around their bodies，compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed.scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event，depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.sarah garfinkel at the brighton and sussex medical school said：“our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”the study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces.dr garfinkel said，“the study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed.thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we dont seeand guide whether we see fear.”to further understand this relationship，the scientists also used a brain scanner(掃描儀)to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a persons feeling of fear.“we have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain speak to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear，” dr garfinkel said.“we hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders，and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”47what is the finding of the study?a. ones heart affects how he feels fear.b. fear is a result of ones relaxed heartbeat.c. fear has something to do with ones health.d. ones fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.48the study was carried out by analyzing _. a. volunteers heartbeats when they saw terrible picturesb. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditionsc. volunteers reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scansd. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heartbrain communication49which of the f
