【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 any golf balls can fit in a school bus?‘Our research tells us those questions are a waste of time,’Bock said‘They39。re a really coachable skill. The more you practice, you get better at it.’”智力問(wèn)答：谷歌不再出這樣的面試題了：為什么井蓋是圓的？或者是：多少個(gè)高爾夫球能裝滿一輛校車？博克說(shuō)：“我們的調(diào)查顯示，這么問(wèn)純粹是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。因?yàn)檫@些是能夠通過(guò)訓(xùn)練提高的技能，你練習(xí)得越多，就能答得更好。”由此推斷出“覆蓋德克薩斯州需要多少衛(wèi)生紙”這是一個(gè)腦筋急轉(zhuǎn)彎，故選D。（3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)“Leaders:The idea is not whether you were president of the student body or vice president of the bank,but rather:‘When you see a problem do you step in,help solve it,’and then critically，‘Are you willing to step out and let somebody else take over，and make room for somebody else?Are you willing to give up power?’”這不是說(shuō)你得是學(xué)生會(huì)主席或是銀行副總理，而是“當(dāng)你遇到問(wèn)題時(shí)能不能介入，幫助解決問(wèn)題”。然后是眼光要犀利，“可以退出來(lái)讓別人接管嗎？能夠讓位于別人嗎？可以放棄權(quán)力嗎？”，由此可知依據(jù)谷歌的說(shuō)法，一個(gè)愿意退讓的人是一個(gè)合格的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，故選C。（4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)Googleyness: That39。s what Google calls its cultural fit. It39。s not‘Are you like us?’Bock said.‘We actually look for people who are different，because diversity gives us great ideas.’” 這點(diǎn)被谷歌稱作文化契合度。它并不是“你和我們一樣嗎？”博克說(shuō)：“事實(shí)上，我們?cè)趯ふ液臀覀儾灰粯拥娜?，因?yàn)槎鄻有阅芙o谷歌帶來(lái)卓越的想法。由此推知獨(dú)一無(wú)二的人是具有谷歌精神的人，故選A。【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，要求考生準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 Sometimes, you just can39。t help it. Maybe you39。re watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved away. Next thing you know, you feel pressure in your throat, your eyes are watering, and you have tears running down your cheeks. According to Ad Vingerhoets, a professor of psychology at Tilburg University, in the Netherlands, who is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying, there are three types of tears. Basal tears are the first type. They act as a protective barrier between the eye and the rest of the World. Next are reflex tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them. Finally, there are emotional tears. These are released in response to emotional states, explains Vingerhoets. Scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other. Humans are very plex social creatures, says Lauren Bylsma, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania. It seems that tears serve to arouse help and support from others, She says. Vingerhoets agrees, I think that the reason why humans shed tears（流眼淚）has something to do with our childhood, he says. that39。s the time when we are still dependent on adults for love and protection and care. The major advantage of emotional tears is that you can target them at a specific person. Vingerhoets says this ability could have e in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals. Tears were a safer way to get attention. In this case, it is better to use a silent signal to ask for help, he says. Vingerhoets and Byhma do frequent studies to better understand why humans cry. According to Byhma, there is still much more to discover. It39。s surprising, she says, how much we still don39。t know.（1）In the scientists39。 opinion, crying is ________. sign of human evolution result of human kindness cause of personal growth means of relying on each other（2）The underlined phrase this ability in the last paragraph refers to the ability to ________. help wisely tears at someone emotionally to other people（3）From the text, we learn that Ad Vingerhoets and Lauren Bylsma ________. different opinions about the causes of tears positively of the effects of tears working together to study tears learned enough about tears（4）What can be a suitable title for the text? types of tears ponents of tears science of tears opinions about tears【答案】 （1）D（2）B（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，從科學(xué)的角度分析了哭的類型和哭的原因等內(nèi)容。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other”可知，科學(xué)家們認(rèn)為哭與人類如何發(fā)展和學(xué)習(xí)彼此依靠有關(guān)系。故可知哭是人們互相依靠的一種方法，選D。 （2）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第四段中的“‘The major advantage of emotional tears is that you can target them at a specific person.’ Vingerhoets says this ability could have e in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals. Tears were a safer way to get attention.Vingerhoets認(rèn)為淚水的主要優(yōu)勢(shì)就是你可以將淚水指向一個(gè)特定的目標(biāo)。這種能力在史前發(fā)揮了作用，當(dāng)時(shí)人們生活在危險(xiǎn)的動(dòng)物中。淚水是獲得注意的一種更安全的方式。由此可知，this ability指將淚水指向一個(gè)特定的目標(biāo)的能力，故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Lauren Bylsma, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania. ‘It seems that tears serve to arouse help and support from others,’ She says. Vingerhoets agrees”可知，Lauren Bylsma和Vingerhoets都認(rèn)為淚水可以喚起別人的幫助和支持。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知，他們都認(rèn)可淚水的積極作用。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 You39。ll be blind by the time you39。re twentyfive, a doctor at Children39。s Hospital predicted. Your blood sugars are much too high. It consumed me. No matter where I was or what I was doing, it was overhead like a dark cloud, waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world. I liked painting. Losing myself in painting filled me with peace. Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words. When I was twentyone, my right eye went blind. Precisely three months after my twentyfifth birthday, I had a massive hemorrhage (大出血) in my left eye because of an accident. For the next twenty years, vision came and went. I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision. But after one final operation, I lost the battle and all remaining vision. And I buried all dreams of painting. Desperate, I enrolled in (注冊(cè)) a sixteenweek program for the blind and visually impaired (損傷的). I learned personal adjustment and the use of a puter with adaptive software. A whole new world opened up to me through this program. Jaws and WindowEyes are leading software for the blind, my instructor told me. You can use the Internet, and Microsoft with all its tools and features. It39。s amazing! Hope went up for the first time in years. By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse, you can use Microsoft Access, Excel and Powerpoint, my instructor added. For the next several years, I learned that when one door closes, another door opens. There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology. Not only do I have a speaking puter, but I have a speaking watch, alarm clock and calculator.（1）What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 1 refer to? A.The right opportunity.160
