Passage One

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

Now, there is a growing evidence that naps (小 睡)are coming back. Many companies have set up nap rooms with beds, blankets and alarm clocks because they have recognized that most of their employees do not have enough sleep. If labor unions are truly interested in worker welfare^ they should make such facilities a necessary item in contract negotiatione

A brief nap makes people feel refreshed and relaxed. If workers take advantage of the opportunity to sleep for twenty minutes or so during the workday, they can go back to work with renewed enthusiasm and energy. De Linda Pitt, for example, often manages to take a ten-minute nap between patients. She says that this respite helps her focus better on each patient's problems. Also, there arc companies that encourage their employees to take naps. They find that napping reduces accidents and errors and mcrea$es productivity, even if it shortens the workday a bit. A recent NASA study showed that twenty-four-minute naps greatly improved a pilot's alertness and performance on long-distance flights.

Studies have found that sleepy workers make more mistakes and cause more accidents. They are more likely to have heart attacks and other physical disorders. Dr. David Jones, a sleep researcher at Harvard, explained that the brain becomes less active when it fails to get enough sleep. It has been proved that lack of sleep affects attention and performance. It often leads to 'Fiicrosleeps that is, involuntary lapses into sleep. These *micro$Ieeps” often cause accidents. He suggested taking a '"power nap” during the day to prevent the effects of sleep loss.

'Naps greatly strengthen the ability to pay close attention to details and to make critical decisions," added Dn Jones. He also stated that "a. nap taken about eight hours after you wake can do much more for you than if you add those twenty minutes onto already adequate sleep at night.

21. According to the writer, many companies now    .

A. start to negotiate with employees

B. set up labor unions for employees

C. provide nap rooms for employees

D. provide paid leaves for employees

22. The underlined word ^respite** (para. 2) probably means  .

A"t B, case

C. idea D. break

23. By taking a "power nap one can avoid 

A. heart attacks B. possible accidents

C brain diseases D, physical disorders

24+ According to Dr. Jones, people benefit a lot from

A. taking naps regularly

B. paying attention to details

C. making good choices

D. sleeping eight hours a day

25. The tone of the writer is


A. objective

B. sympathetic

C emotional

D. understanding


Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

Judging from business profits, wc should be enjoying a powerful economic recovery. During the depression, profits dropped by about 30%. But now profits grow every day. In the first quarter of this year, profits have recovered 87% of what they lost in the depression. When second-quarter results are out, profits may rise above their previous peak.

The recovery in profits should be a good sign. It makes companies more aggressive. They have a huge amount of money and are able to do whatever they want hire* make new investments, raise salaries. Historically, higher profits lead to higher employment. Yet, except for new companies, loss-making companies don't create new jobs.

So for, the contrast between recovered profits and small job growth is surprising. Last year, employment dropped 3.3 million. Since then, the economy has recovered only 11% of ±ose lost jobs. Companies are doing much better than workers; that's a characteristic of today's economy.

The most obvious explanation is that the relationship between labor and capital has changed. Capital has become stronger; labor has become weaker. The situation has made business managers eager to cut costs in depressions and unwilling to hire workers early in recoveries. Reducing the number of employees is the quickest way to recover profits.

The big job cuts in this depression should not have been surprising. With the breakdown of the financial system, companies had to do everything they can to save money, because they couldn't rely on outside money. So they st jobs and new investment projects. Last year, business investment dropped 26%. Nothing like that had happened since the 1940s.

However, there are some good signs. Many companies have started to replace their old equipment. This can create new jobs. General Electric says its research budget is up 18% and it supports new product development. But it's not clear whether business leaders were so scared by the crisis that they've become extremely cautious. That is bad. If labor is scared and capital is overcautious, the recovery must suffer.


26.The passage shows the economy is getting better as profits have  

A. almost doubled B. recovered steadily

C. reached a new high D. made up for the losses

27.According to paragraph 2, in, the past, increased profits led to an increase in

         A. investment B. j obs

C.L new companies D. salaries

28.lb recover profits quickly, business managers often choose to    . 

A. reduce employment B. increase work hours

C. increase productivity D. move into new areas

29.The writer seems to think of the big job cuts in this depression as 

A. shocking B. avoidable

C. confusing D. acceptable

30.The writer tliinks a real economic recovery requires 

A, patience B. experience

C confidence D, intenigence

Passage Three

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage^

In last week's Science^ a group of leading investigators led by John BeddingtQn* the chief science advdser for the British government, published a call warning climate change has become a growing threat to agricultural production and food security. In other words, the potential risks to fanning are another reason why we need to reduce the carbon in the air. And the fact that the climate is already changing, and will continue to change, means that we also need to start adapting agriculture to a warmer world immediately.

How exactly could climate change lower our ability to feed ourselves? Warming alone could do it, with already hot and dry places ― like the American Southwest or the Hom of Africa predicted to become hotter and drier. The terrible drougfits that have affected Texas and East Africa lead to an extreme shortage of food in the latter cbsc. While additional carbon in the air may help some plants, wanner temperatures can also slow down growth, so extreme heat could lead to greater crop loss.


It's not just drought, though; rain at the wrong time can be extremely bad fbr agriculture as well. That was obvious during the great floods in Pakistan in 2010, which not only killed thousands of people but also washed away crops. Those losses helped drive food prices to record highs during the past year, a level from which they're only now beginning to drop. As the atmosphere warms, it can hold more water, which means we can expect heavier storms when the rain does fall.

Warming isn't the only threat to our ability to feed ourselves. It acts together with rising population and other factors. That's why scientists are calling for more joint research as the first step to adapting agriculture to climate changeThe window of opportunity to prevent a climate crisis is rapidly closing, and we need better information and tools to balance how we grow our food and use our resources,” says Molly Jahn, dean of College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, University of Wisconsin. If we hope to live well in a warmer world, we have no other choice.

31.John Beddington says more carbon in the air will be a threat to   ____ 

A. the atmosphere B. food supply

C- global climate D. water supply

32.Food shortage has already happened m 

A* Southwest Texas B, Southwest America

C. East Africa D. Central Africa

33.During the past year food prices in Pakistan _ . 

A. remained unchanged dropped to their lowest level

C. began to jump down D. rose to their highest level

34.According to Molly Jahn, we must act immediately to  .

A, prevent a climate crisis B. get enou^i information

C. find different resources D- increase food production

35.This passage is mainly about  

A. the technology of farming

C. the threat of climate change

People may have many different types of hobbies during their lifetimes. When wc arc very young, we spend most of our time playing with toys. When we get older, we start to pursue our first hobbies. Some kids like sports* such as football or basketball Others might g interested in less active activities like reading, painting, or stamp collecting.

As we get older, our hobbies might or might not change. Some who collected stamps as a child might still collect stamps when they are eighty years old. Others might change their interests every year depending on fashion. Some are lucky that they have found professions that are similar to their hobbies. For example, the kid who loves the computer becomes a programmer.
