From the twelfth century until the nineteenth, the island was traded back and forth and was passed to France in 1802. Then came Napoleon, the new ruler of Elba.

But actually it39。s understandable that Andy has set up a website — — and now people from across the country send him news of their own anti honking activities. It seems that poetry can change the world after all. Then, just recently, antianti honking haiku started to appear, launched by locals who thought Andy should stop worrying about honking and start worrying about starving children, or war in the Middle East instead. Andy has an answer for that. Stop me if this is too ridiculous, he says, but they talk about the violence in the Middle East like it39。 That day is ing soon.s munity is now covered in anti honking poetry, written by all walks of life. All the damn honking (Enron: a major American pany that recently caused a scandal because of corrupt(腐敗) mismanagement) But Andy, a Japanese website developer has had enough of it. Once, the 27yearold man approached the open window to wait for the driver to finish honking, delivered a polite excuse me and then yelled Hooooonk!, which means fierce anger in Japan. Then he threw three eggs from the window of his apartment on to a passing car honking loudly below when his patience was worn out. Instead of apologizing to him, the driver threatened to kill him angrily. So, nobly, Andy turned to nonviolence. He started writing antihonking haiku verses, a form of Japanese poetry, and submitted them to local newspapers: It39。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇生活類閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)最后一段中的”Their jobs engage their interest and allow them to develop their abilities.“他們的工作激發(fā)了他們的興趣,使他們得以發(fā)展自己的能力,可知,他們可以從事自己感興趣的工作。故選B。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的”What we do there largely determines our standard of living and our status to a considerable extent.“我們在那里的所作所為在很大程度上決定了我們的生活水平和地位,可推知,別人會根據(jù)我們的工作來評判我們。作者論述了這些問題。D.They get time off to learn constantly.C.t be out of work.should encourage the manual workers to promote efficiency(3)What advantage does the writer say managers have over workers?

A.the time they spend at workB.s opinion, people judge others mainly by ________. A. The most glaring inequality is that between managers and the rest. For most managers, work is an opportunity and a challenge. Their jobs engage their interest and allow them to develop their abilities. They are constantly learning. They are able to exercise responsibility. They have a considerable degree of control over their own and others39。 only for a small minority does work offer scope for creativity, imagination or initiative. For most of us, work is the central, dominating fact of life. We spend more than half our conscious hours at work, preparing for work, traveling to and from work. What we do there largely determines our standard of living and our status to a considerable extent.
