第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
There is an old Chinese tale about a woman whose only son died. In her grief (悲
痛), she went to the holy man (圣人) and asked, “What magical things do you have
to bring my son back to life?”
Instead of sending her away or saying a few words to comfort her, the holy man
said to her, “Bring me a mustard (芥菜) seed from a home that has never known sorrow.
We will use it to drive the sorrow out of your life.” The woman went off at once
in search of that magical seed.
She first came to a beautiful castle, knocked at the door, and said, “I am looking
for a home that has never known sorrow. Is this such a place? It is very important
to me.”
They told her, “You’ve certainly come to the wrong place.” And then they began
to describe all the bad things that had recently happened to them.
The woman said to herself, “Who is better able to help these unfortunate people
than I?” So she stayed to comfort them, and then went on in search of a home that
had never known sorrow. But wherever she turned, in hotels or in other places, she
found one tale after another of sadness and misfortune.
The woman became so busy helping others to deal with their sorrows that she finally
let go of her own. She would later come to understand that it was the search for the
magical mustard seed that drove away her suffering.

Reading is important, but getting kids to enjoy reading can be quite difficult.
There are two steps you can take to help kids to enjoy reading. Firstly you need to
find something they actually want to read. Then, you need to get them to read school
books, but this is not the place to start.
So how do you choose something for your kids to read? You have to find out what
your kids enjoy. It doesn’t matter what you buy, so long as your kids will find it
interesting. A book given as a reward (奖励) will often be more enjoyed by kids. If
your kids have just done well at something, this is a good time to give them a new
book.
The second thing you need to consider is where your kids are going to read. I
strongly suggest creating a “reading space” in their room and also a time for them
to read on their own, ideally just before bed time.
There is another way to really speed up your kids’ reading. It is to get them
writing. When you set up their “reading space”, be sure to give them a diary and
a pen. Just by writing a few sentences each day they will improve their skills.
So to successfully get your kids to enjoy reading you need to create them a space
in which they read, give them something fun to read, and improve their skills through
writing. Before you know it, their abilities will have moved forward and you will
be amazed at their progress. Of course, remember all the time to reward good reading
with more books.
9. The author wrote this passage to .
A. show us how to speed up our reading
B. tell us the benefits of reading for kids
C. give us some tips on how to get kids to enjoy reading
D. give us examples of how to choose proper books for kids
10. Whom is this passage intended for?
A. Teachers. B. Kids. C. Parents. D. Workers.
11. Which of the following methods will most probably get kids to value their books?
A. Giving them books as a reward. B. Reading books together w ith them.
C. Choosing books they like. D. Giving them a reading space.
D
Researchers found that a “name pronunciation effect” played an important role
in how people were perceived (感知) by others. They concluded that the easier a
person’s name was to say, the better their success was in the workplace and the quicker
career advancement (提升) they enjoyed. Their study also found that a simple name
improved people’s ability to make new friends.
Dr. Simon Laham, who led the study, said people with simple names were generally
judged more positively (积极地). “The effect is not because of the length of a name
or how foreign-sounding or unusual it is, but rather how easy it is to pronounce,”
he said.
In their study the team studied the way names can influence a person’s impressions
and decision making. They looked at lots of names of 500 university student volunteers
from British, Asian, and European backgrounds and a field of 500 lawyers in America.
The team found that people with more pronounceable names were more likely to achieve
success. They found that American lawyers with easier sounding names got career
advancement faster within their law firms. Names including Sherman, Jenkins, Benson,
and Angus ranked among the easiest to pronounce, while Farquharson and Loughnane and
European names such as Leszczynska were found to be difficult to pronounce. They
concluded that a simple name was the key to success.
Dr. Laham said the results could have important implications (意义) for how
managers dealt with bias (偏见). “It’s important to treat the biases that shape
our choices and judgments about others,” he said. “It may help remove bias, leading
to fairer, more objective treatment of others.”
12. What factor of a name plays the key role in deciding its effect?
A. The length of the name. B. The pronunciation of the name.
C. The meaning of the name. D. Whether the name is unusual or not.
13. The underlined part “pronounceable names” in Para. 3 refers to names
that .
A. can be spelled easily B. can’t be pronounced easily
C. can be pronounced without difficulty D. sound like foreign names
14. Which of the following would Dr. Laham most probably agree with?
A. People should use simple names to avoid biases.
B. Foreign names are considered to be hard to pronounce.
C. The name effect can be found only in English-speaking countries.
D. The study can help people treat those with hard-to-say names more fairly.
15. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Having an easy-to-say name will help you get quicker career advancement.
B. People with hard-to-say names should struggle for fairer treatment.
C. People with hard-to-say names should avoid unfair treatment from others.
D. The importance of changing hard-to-say names to easy-to-say ones.
