四、阅读理解

阅读理解：共15小题；每题3分，共45分。

1.Apart from choosing a partner for life and hopefully having a family of ones own,perhaps the most important decision that one takes in life concerns the choice of a career.It is a good idea if young people realise that there is a big difference between a career and ajob. A job can mean anything from doing the washing up in a restaurant during the univer-sity vacation to working ina corner shop. It may be that a particular job lasts for years,but unless it involves some aspect of special training leading to qualifications, it remains a job and not a career, There are of. course. exceptions to this generalisation For example.many pop singers are self-trained, but the suecessful ones think of their development astheir career. 　　Of course. it has to be said that certain careers require fairly low level qualifications before a person can enter a training programme or gain experience on the job, In Britain,being a policeman or a nurse only requires a person to have the basic school leaving certificate of four or five GCSEs. Unfortunately, with the same kind of qualifications, a police -man can earn a quite reasonable salary, while,ordinary nurses are among the worst paid professionals of that society. Of course, certain careers take years of training for example, if one wants to become an accountant,a doctor or a lawyer. Even senior teachers, particularly those working in universities. may be in full-time educational training for eight years. 　　It is essential that young people choose their career carefully. It is no good wanting to he a doctor if one cannot stand the sighi of blood! It is pointless considering the teaching profession if one doctors not like young people. Some people even have the most peruliar And unrealistic ideas of what they want to do. Take for example the case of a young man who rang up a radio programme about careers recently and said he wanted advice on how to become a lion tamer! It is very likely that lion tamers (and there are not that many around) start working with animals at a very early age. They are probably born into a show business family. The young man on the radio, on the other hand, did not even seem to like cats.What other two choices are important in life apart from a career?

A.Choosing a partner for life and doing the washing up in a restaurant.
B.Choosing a partner for life and working in a corner shop.
C.Choosing a partner for life and hopefully havinK a family of one’s own.
D.Taking a job and having a family of one’s own.

2.Which of these definitions of "generalisation" is suitable?

A.An unspecific statement.
B.The main poim of an argument.
C.One idea leading on to another.
D.A detailed statement.

3.What does it require in Britain to be b policeman or a nurse?

A.A training programme
B.The basic school leaving certificate of four or five GCSEs
C.Gain experience on the job
D.Special training leading to qualifications

4.For the following careers, which doesn’t take years of training?

A.A fireman.
B.An accountant.
C.A senior teacher.
D.A doctor.

5.On a more practical level, teachers need a wide variety of skills and abilities. Theyhave to be. ready to spend many hours at home planning their lessons. and making homework. They have to be well organized in class, patient with the students able to appear bright and interested even if they are in fact tired or unhappy, and lively enough to controla group of young people for almost 200 days a year. Outside the classroom, they may have to prepare teaching materials,to choose text books,to help organize the work of the otherteachers, or to organize spare time activities for the students. 　　If you think that you have all the necessary qualities, you may feel that you would like to be a teacher One way lo decide,if you live in the United Stales，is by joining a club for future teachers, such as Student Action For Education. Clubs like this give you advice about your career and also allow you to watch teachers at work, attend meetings and experiment with teaching methods and equipment. You could also talk wiih the career advisors at your school or university. Finally you could try teaching a younger student or becoming an advisor at summer camp for children.Any activity in which you are dealing with children will help you decide whether you have a vocation for teachering.Which sentence in Paragraph 1 is topic sentence?

9.All of the cells in a particular plant start out with the same complement of genes. How then can these cells differentiate and form. structures as different as roots, stems, leaves,and fruits? The answer is that only a small subset of the genes in a particular kind of cell are expressed,or turned on,at a given time. This is accomplished by a complex system of chemical messengers that in plants include hormones and other regulatory molecules. Five major hormones have been identified: auxin, abscisic acid ,cytokinin ,ethylene ,and gibberellin. Studies of plants have now identified a new class of regulatory molecules called oligosaccharins. Unlike the oligosaccharins,the five well-known plant hormones are pleiotropic rather than specifie, that is, each has more than one effect on the growth and development of plants. The five have so many simultaneous effects that they are not very useful in artificially controlling the growth of crops. Auxin, for instance, stimulates the rate of cell elon-gation(使伸长),causes shoots to grow up and roots to grow down, and inhibits the growth of lateral shoots. Auxin also causes the plant to develop a vascular system, to form. lateral roots,and to produce ethylene. The pleiotropy of the five well-studied plant hormones is somewhat analogous to that of certain hormones in animal. For example, hormones from the hypothalamus(下丘脑)in the brain stimulate the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland to synthesize and release many different hormones , one of which stimulates the release of hormones from the adrenal cor-tex(肾上腺皮质). These hormones have specific effects on target organs all over the body.One hormone stimulates the thyroid gland, for example,another the ovarian follicle cells,and so forth. In other words, there is a hierarchy of hormones. Such a hierarchy may also exist in plants. Oligosaccharins are fragments of the cell wall released by enzymes(酶);different enzymes release different oligosaccharins.There are indications that pleiotropic plant hormones may actually function by activating the enzymes that release these other, more specific chemical messengers from the cell wall.The five well-known plant hormones are not useful in controlling the growth crops because_____.

A.it is not known exactly what functions the hormones perform
B.each hormone has various effects on plants
C.none of the hormones can function without the others
D.each hormone has different effects on different kinds of plants

10.The passage that the place of hypothalamic hormones in the hormonal hierarchies of animals is similar to the place of____.

A.plant cell walls
B.the complement of genes in each plant cell
C.a subset of a plant cell’s gene complement
D.the five major hormones

11.Which of the follow is a function like to be performed by an oligosaccharin

A.To stimulate a particular plant cell to become part of a plant’s root system,
B.To activate enzymes that release specific chemical messengers from plan cell walls.
C.To duplicate the Kcnc complement in a particular pUnt coll.
D.To produce multiple effects on a particular subsystem of plant cells.

12.The author mentions specific effects that auxin on plam development in order to iilustrate the ______.

A.way in which hormones arc produced by plant
B.hierarchical nature of the functioning of plant hormones
C.differenecs between the best-known plant hormones
D.concept of pleiotropy as it is exhibited by plant hormones

13.Why are so many people unhappy in their jobs? There are two primary reasons. First,some people are convinced that earning a living is wasting time? that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering their talents. If this is the case with your, recall you last long vacation. Was it two weeks of complete enjoyment? More likely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun，with another half of a week of bore. I can't wait to get back to work. If you didn't feel such vacation blues,then imagine taking a leave of absence. You could use it to work on a novel, enroll in classes or just sit around watching TV. At the end of three months, in all likelihood，yourself-esteem would be at an all-time low. While all work and no play is not good, all playand no work is disastrous. Wc need to feel we are accomplishing something. We also need some form. of order in our lives. The second and perhaps more prevalent reason for people not to like their work is that they feel trapped. Once you have been at a company for five years and have a spouse，a mortgage and a child, you often feel you have very little choice about jummping ship if things aren’t turning out as you’d planned. A steady paycheck can be the biggest manacle (束缚)of all. People resent having to do something because they have no other choices. If you find yourself resenting your job because you cant afford to quit, it mnay be timeco prepare what one career counselor humorously calls a cyanide(氰化物) capsule. He re-calls spy movies in/which the secret agent has. such a capsule hidden somewhere on His body. If he's captured and tortured unbearably, he has an option. And having an option gives him the strength to hold on a little longer in tbe hope that the situation/ may change. Rather than cyanide. your option takes the form. of an up-to-date resume. You might also take a weekly glance through the help-wanted section, and make some visits to industry functions where low-key net-working can take place. You are not giving up on your current job. Rather , you are providing yourself with an option. If things get unbearable atwork, you could jump ship. Being in this position can do wonders for your attiude. It allows you to enjoy your work since, in reality, you are there only because you want to be. At the core of adopting a positive attitude to your workplace is above all assuming responsibility for your own situation. Most people feel controlled by their environment,but they really aren't.They have to learn to manage adaptation environment so they can get from it what they need. The second main reason for their unhappiness is that____.

A.they have been working in a company’for too long
B.they are not permitted to change a job
C.they have no other way out than keep working
D.they have to work on to pay off their debts

14.The example about your last vacation proves that"

A.all play and no work is disastrous
B.all work and no play is not good
C.avacation of two weeks is not enough
D.a vacation of two weeks is more than enough

15.With an up-to-date resume ready as an option, you may feel better at your job Because___.

A.you are to do wonders in your work
B.it is up to you to choose between two alternatives
C.you have made a decision on your own
D.it seems to be the only positive attitude
