Newspapers relay (reports of goal setting prevalent in industries and businesses up and down both Wall Street and Main Street,yet there has been surprisingly little research on how the practice of setting goals may have 33 to the current economic crisis,and unethical (behaviour in general. "Goals are widely used and promoted as they have really34 effects.And yet,the same motivation that can push people to make more effort in a constructive way could also motivate people to be more likely to 35 unethical activities,"says Maurice Schweitzer,professor at Penn's Wharton School. "It turns out there's36 economic benefit to just having a goal-you just get a psychological benefit,"Schweitzer says."But in many cases,goals have economic_37 that make them more powerful.> A typical example Schweitzer and his colleagues mention is the 2002 38 of energy-trading giant Enron,where managers used financial incentives()to motivate salesmen to meet specific revenue goals.The problem,Schweitzer says,is the actual trades were not 39.

B My cat Jean-Philippe is what you might charitably describe as 'big-boned'. I adopted Phil when he was about six months old.Before he came to my house,he had been living with a couple of other kittens out on the street.When I moved into a fourth-floor apartment,he became a full-time indoor foodie.I usually call him Fat Phil.I love him,but he is basically a meat loaf with fur.I finally realized things were getting out of control when he outgrew his cat carier and I was forced to buy one built for a medium-sized dog. To make sure that Phil would stick around for as long as possible,I knew I needed to make some changes to his diet-whether or not he was fully on board with them.Although Fat Phil needed to become Slim Phil, losing weight too quickly could be dangerous.I was sent by Phil's doctor to a website that calculates how many calories a day a cat needs to consume to lose weight at a healthy pace.This is when I learnt that you apparently need to understand advanced algebra (to count cat-food calories. Phil eats a combination of raw,freeze-dried,and canned food,and he began his diet at 270 calories a day. Have you ever tried to figure out the calories in your cat's favourite brands of food?Some don't include the information on the label.Others give it in tiny print.Or they publish it in terms that require you to figure out, say,that if 450 grams of freeze-dried chicken biscuits contain 125 calories,a kitchen cup weighs about 700 grams,and 50 biscuits fit in a cup,each biscuit has...wait... I have to keep reminding myself that this is the very best diet for cats,according to doctors.And finally! After more than a year,Phil's daily intake has been reduced to 250 calories. But it's an ongoing struggle.He's a hardened food thief.He starts pushing for dinner at about 1p.m., sometimes rising up on his legs and tapping me on the shoulder with his front paw as I sit at my computer.If he had a watch,he'd be pointing at it.Resisting his most sincere requests takes as much self-control as I can develop,but I persist.And any month now,my boy is going to slim down that dog-sized body and become the size of a very large cat. 49.How many of the following phrases refer to the same meaning as "big-boned"? (1)a full-time indoor foodie (2)Fat Phil (3)a meat loaf with fur (4)a medium-sized dog (5)Slim Phil (6)a hardened food thief A.(1)3)(6). B.(2)3)(4). C.(2)5)6). D.(1)(4)(5). 50.What does the author find difficult when calculating Jean-Philippe's food intake? A.Phil refuses to eat raw,freeze-dried and canned food. B.Calorie information can't be found on cat food labels. C.Phil's doctor fails to give useful suggestions on his diet. D.The calorie information on cat food is unclear or hard to find. 51.What does the writer imply by"an ongoing struggle"in the last paragraph? A.Keeping Phil on his diet remains difficult.B.The writer intends to stop the cat's diet plan. C.Phil's health keeps worsening over the year.D.Feeding Phil has become much boring now. 52.Which of the following best describes the author's attitude towards Jean-Philippe? A.Tolerant,the cat will remain huge. B.Generous,yet losing patience with Phil's habits C.Loving,yet determined to follow the health plan.D.Scientific,relying on complex calculations. C Most of us probably have told a lie at one time or another.Some lies are harmful.Some are mostly harmless.Still other lies may even be created with kindness.But whatever kind of lie you tell,it takes surprising brainpower to pull it off.Lying also can have unwanted influences,too. When you tell the truth,you think of what you want to say and just say it.However,lying takes much more work-you have to come up with a story and remember it.A lot of that work is done in a brain area called the prefrontal cortex.It's responsible for working memory and executive function (tasks such as planning,problem-solving and self-control.Working memory keeps things in mind just for a little while as you're using them.Executive function comes into play when you use self-control to keep from blurting out()the facts that would uncover your lie.It helps you recall all the details of a lie to make sure that it sounds believable.It also lets you think a step or two ahead to make sure the lie you're telling will likely hold up to questioning. Calling on your executive function this way uses up a lot of brainpower.Vendemia,a neuroscientist at the University of South Carolina,did a research and has found that people's mental workload will be heavier and their reaction time longer when they lie.Worse still,when the prefrontal cortex is busy with tasks related to lying,she notes,it has a harder time doing other tasks such as making a study plan or using self-control to keep from spending too much time on computer games. Lying has social influences,too.Even the kindest lies can sometimes be risky and often backfire. When you give dishonest praise,you may make your friends feel good at first.But if you do it often enough, they'll soon learn that they can't trust your praise.People generally value honesty and don't like liars,so if you are viewed as untrustworthy,it can be bad for your relationships. 试卷第7页（共11页） It's widely agreed that nearly all cultures value honesty,and now science is revealing how dishonesty influences the brain and your ability to build the trust on which strong relationships depend.So,even when lying doesn't stretch your nose,it still comes at a price that you can't afford. 53.The second paragraph is mainly about_ A.why self-control benefits the brain B.what social influences lying can bring C.how the brain works when people lie D.when executive function comes into play 54.What can we learn about lying from the passage? A.Lying improves working memory. B.Covering lies takes much brainpower. C.People's reaction can be sped up by lying.D.The nature of lies is decided by the brain. 55.The underlined word "backfire"in Paragraph 4 probably means ” A.lead to serious accidents B.help to win full support C.build up strong relationships D.have the opposite effect 56.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.Costs of Lying B.Signs of Lying C.Causes of Lies D.Types of Lies 0 Since Francis Galton coined the phrase "nature vs mrture(环境因素)”l50 years ago,the debate about what makes us who we are has dominated the human sciences. Today,however,a new scientific field is set to reshape the debate-not by declaring victory for one side or the other,nor even by calling a tie,but rather by revealing they were never in opposition in the first place.Through this new perspective,nature and nurture are not even entirely distinguishable,because genes and environment don't operate in isolation;they influence each other and to a very real degree even create each other. The new field is called sociogenomics,an integration of behavioral science and genetics.Despite being a relatively new area of study,it has the potential to rewrite a great deal of what we think we know about who we are and how we got that way. Genes don't affect who we become just on their own,inside our bodies-they work,in part,by shaping the environments we look for or produce.At other times,the nature-nurture feedback circle may be more pernicious.It's no surprise that terrible setbacks-the loss of a job,the end of a marriage-can cause people to fall into depression.I was astonished to learn,however,that people with a high genetic tendency for depression are more likely to encounter these setbacks,which in turn contribute to their depression.That's not to say that any of it is their fault,just that the way we're supported and the world we pilot are closely linked. 试卷第8页（共11页） Here is the part of this research that really blows me away.The research suggests that your partner's genes influence your likelihood of depression almost a third as much as your own genes do.It also shows when a small number of students with a genetic tendency to smoke are present in a high school,smoking rates can rise rapidly across an entire grade-even among those students who didn't personally know those classmates Genes alone aren't enough to determine these outcomes and neither is environment.Nature and nurture both shape each other,with nature influencing the way we experience nurture and nurture influencing the way our nature expresses itself.The more opportunities and information the environment provides-the more varied environments become-the greater the influence that genetic variation has in sorting us into different categories. Nature and nurture aren't separate forces-they're endlessly circling back on each other. 57.Prior to the emergence of sociogenomics,it was widely believed that A.genes and environment functioned separately B.there was no clear line between nature and nurture C.environment shaped our perception of who we are D.nature mattered more than nurture for personal growth 58.The underlined word"pernicious"(paragraph 4)is closest in meaning to ” A.disastrous B.generative C.pointless D.questionable 59.It can be inferred that the research shocked the writer by suggesting that A.our genes may change because of the people we live with B.nature determines our behaviour just as much as nurture does C.people with the same genes are more likely to interact with each other D.the genes of people around us can affect the environment we experience 60.Which of the following pictures correctly illustrates how nature and nurture make us who we are? 第IⅡ卷（共25分) 书面表达（共两节，满分25分) 第一节阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分) How quickly could an 18-year-old find the problem of a car and solve it?Pretty fast,as it turns out.As a student from Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous region,Arfanjan Osmanjan recently won the first prize in an Anhui provincial vocational(职业的)students skills competition..
