For question 8 - 10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Learn to love your job
Are you familiar with kudzu--a prolific vine that wraps itself around other vegetation, strangling the life out of it? Does this sound like what your job is doing to you? Rather than helping you to blossom, is your job running you over like a lawnmower? Stop the madness! You spend too much time at work to be miserable. You can cut through \"career kudzu\" by putting the following advice into action.
Be Honest With Your Boss Your boss may be talented and inspirational, but probably not a mind - reader, ff you are frustrated at work, speak up. Your boss has a right to know if you are feeling undervalued, burned out, or desperately in need of a more flexible schedule. There are, of course, ways to conduct this talk so that you don't sound whiny or hopelessly confused. You may be more appreciated and have more options than you thought. A good boss can give you strategies to pull your attitude out of a funk. Give it a chance, and be honest with your discussion.
Let the Job Bring Out Your Best If you have a job that matches your skills poorly, you'll end up hating it. For example, sales jobs are not for everyone. An introverted, quiet person is likely to feel uncomfortable chasing down some sales quota. Your job should fit like a globe, not force you to be something you are not. m-fitting jobs cause stress, according to psychologist Bill Crawford, stress is a signal that something needs to change. \"Suffering is when we don't make the change,\" Crawford explains, \"Often we don't listen to the signal of stress in our lives until it becomes a severe problem.\" If your job is not fulfilling, get creative. Drastic changes are not always necessary. Arlene S. Hirsch, author of Love Your Work and Success Will Follow, tells the story of a banker with strong financial analysis skills who was experiencing great job dissatisfaction. He recaptured his love for music by accepting a job as CFO for a symphony orchestra. Smart move!
Acknowledge Your Anger If you really hate your job, it's likely that you are fired up about something. Pinpointing the source of your anger is a crucial first step. According to Dr. Hendrie Weisinger, there are 5 main anger--provoking work situations: 1. Being left our. Not being accepted by your peers severely limits how effective you can be on the job, and shakes your fundamental need for acceptance. 2. Critical bosses. Nitpicking bosses are infuriating. 3. Not getting promoted. You try your best and it's never acknowledged. 4. being maligned by co-workers. Being victimized by false rumors is a consistent anger arouser. 5. Incompetent bosses. An incompetent boss can stifle your enthusiasm and torpedo your chances for job satisfaction. Get Rid of Grudges When people work together, hurt feelings, misunderstanding, and cross words are inevitable, ff you are mistreated at work, you'll be tempted to get even. Be careful: Making enemies can lead straight to job misery. Even if you have been treated unfairly, you can take the high road. While practicing forgiveness may be the last thing you want to do, it is often the wisest move. Offenders may not deserve your kindness, but you do. By forgiving abusive jerks, you are actually giving yourself a break. Sure, you can quit your job in a huff and seek greener pastures elsewhere. Find a place where people treat you with the love and respect that you deserve. Right? Wrong! You'll find \"challenging\" co-workers wherever you go. They just look different and have different names. You'd be better off finding ways to live in peace with people with various value systems.
Above all else, try to keep your perspective. We all hate our jobs occasionally? The trick is to keep those times few and far between. Putting these tips into practice will help you gain greater satisfaction at work. And when you consider that happy employees are more likely to get ahead, isn't that a goal worth smiling about?
1. If you are frustrated at work you should not reveal your emotion to others. 2. A good boss can give you strategies to help his employees be brave.
3. If you have a job that cannot match your skills, it will help you to develop your courage
further.
4. Ill-fitting jobs indicate changes should be made.
5. Drastic changes are always necessary when job cannot give you satisfaction . 6. If your boss is critical, it will make you infuriate.
7. If you are mistreated in the work, you'll be temped to revenge.
8. While being tolerant may be the thing you don’t want to do, it is often . 9. You ‘ll find co-workers that difficult to get on well with everywhere, but you had better .
10. When we hate our jobs, the trick is to .

Question 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.
Over the history of the earth, millions of animal and plant species have disappeared. Most of these species disappeared, or became 31 , because of 32 causes such as climatic changes or a catastrophic event, like an asteroid hitting earth. What is different today is that most species that are in danger of becoming extinct are not endangered because of natural causes but because of 33 activity. Today, we will be looking at the reasons that many plants and animals are endangered and how these reasons, or causes, are related to human activity.
They single most important cause of endangered species today is the 34 and degradation of habitat(栖息地). Most animals and plants are 35 live and reproduce in a specific environment, habitat. They cannot 36 if they lose the specific habitat that they are adapted to live and reproduce in.
There axe many ways that human activity destroys habitat. For example, forests, grasslands, and deserts, which provide habitat to many plants and animals, are 37 in order to develop residential areas for people to live in and industrial area for people to work in. Land is also cleared to prepared it for farmers to grow crops on. Swamps and marshes, which provide habitat to many animal and plant species, are often 38 and filled in, also to provide land for development or agriculture. 39 rivers are sometimes dammed (筑坝 ) in order to provide people with electrical power.

Section B
Directions: There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet .
Passage One
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.
Even plants can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3000 feet away--straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared ( 红外线 ) scanning technology developed for military purpose and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide (杀虫剂 )spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don't have pest ( 害虫 ) problems.
Even better, Paley's Remote Scanning Service Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eyes. Mounted on a plane flown at 3000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running \"fevers\". Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.
The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt that the technology works. \"This technology can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States,\" says George Oerther of Texas A&M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago. 41. Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are A. sprayed with pesticides B. facing an infrared scanner C. in poor physical condition D. exposed to excessive sun rays
42. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to A. estimate the damage to the crops B. draw a color-coded map
C. measure the size of the affected area D. locate the problem area
43. Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by A. resorting to spot-spraying B. transforming poisoned rain
C. consulting infrared scanning experts D. detecting crop problems at an early date
44. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some
difficulties due to
A. the lack of official support B. its high cost
C. the lack of financial support
D. its failure to help increase production
45. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of A. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce B. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops C. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture D. full support from agricultural experts
Passage Two
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.
The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.
RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation ( 航空 ) industry, has recommended that all airlines ban such devices from being used during \"critical\" stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.
The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft's computers. Experts know that portable device emits radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not. The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. as worrying, though, is the passenger who can't hear the instructions to turn off his because the music is too loud.
46. What is said about the biggest safety threat facing airlines today? A. It is a terrorist with a gun.
B. It is the man with the portable computer that may kidnap the plane. C. It may be the electromagnetic interference.
D. It is originated from the vulnerable navigation equipment.
47. Now many portable electronic devices do the author refer to in the passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 48. The second passage is mainly about __
A. RTCA has recommended that all airlines ban the use of electronic devices
B. the advice of some experts on the use of electronic devices during the flight C. some airlines' reactions to the use of the devices
D. experts' attitudes and some airlines' doings to the use of electronic devices, during
the flight
49. There are many potential risks the electronic interference may raise, the biggest line is
A. terrorists may damage navigation equipment by using radio systems B. the passenger who can't hear the instructions to turn off his radio C. the defects of electronic devices
D. some airlines can't adopt effective safety measures for air flight
50. The author's attitude towards the ban of passenger's use of electronic devices is A. negative B. supportive C. optimistic D. indifferent
