第3题：

Building a house costs quite a lot of money. Suppose you plan to build a house. Your first step will be to find a right piece of land. Your choice will depend on many different things. You will probably try to find a sunny place, with pleasant surroundings near shops and bus stops, not too far from your friends and the place where you work.
Next you will find a good builder, and together with the builder you will work out a plan. The builder will draw the plan. It will show the number of rooms, their position and size, and other parts, which must be noticed, such as windows, doors, and electric outlets. The builder will work out how much money is needed to build your house. He will work out the cost of the wood, bricks, the glass, and everything else that must be used in building the house. Later on, when he starts to build, this estimate must be corrected and revised. His estimate is based on existing prices, but prices of such things may change, and many other things may happen between the time when he makes the estimate and the time when he builds the house.
When the builder gives his estimate, you may wish to change your plan. (You may also wish to change your builder, if his estimate is too high! ) You may find that the house you wanted at first costs too much, or that you can spend a little more and add something to your plan. The builder's estimate depends on the plan, but the final plan depends on the builder's estimate.
The first thing for a person to build a house is ______

A.to get as much money as possible
B.to find a suitable piece of land
C.to work out a plan
D.to make an estimate

答案：B

由短文首段的第三句“Your first stepwill betofind a right plece of land．”(你的第一步就是选好一块合适的地)可知此句正是该题答案的出处

第4题：

There is no creature that does not need sleep or complete rest every day.
If you want to know why,just try going without sleep for a long period of time.You will discover that your mind and body would become too tired to work properly.You would become irritable and find it hard to think clearly or concentrate on your work.So sleep is quite simply the time when the ceils of?your body recover from the work of the day and build up supplies of energy for the next period of activity.
One of the things we all know about sleep is that we are Unconscious in sleep,We do not know what is going on around us.But that do.esn′t mean the body stops all activity.The important organs continue to work during sleep,but most of the body functions are slowed down.
For example,our breathing becomes slower and deeper.The heart beats more slowly,and the blood pressure is lower.Our arms and legs become limp(柔软的)and muscles are at rest.It would be impossible for our body to relax to such an extent if we were awake.So sleep does for us what the?most quiet rest can not do.
Your body temperature becomes lower when you are asleep,which is the reason people go to sleep under some kind of covers.And even though you are unconscious,many of your reflexes(反射动作)still work.For instance,if someone tickles(使觉得痒)your foot,you will put it away in your sleep,or even brush a fly from your forehead.You do these things without knowing it.

The cells of your body develop supplies of energy__________

A.when you are asleep
B.when you recover from your work of the day
C.in the next period of activity
D.when you are quiet

答案：A

Practice 4　　● Your manager is keen to improve work efficiency among the staff. He has asked you to introduce to your fellow staff members practices to improve time management.　　● Write the report for your manager, including the following information:　　● the importance of planning work time effectively,　　● practices to improve time management,　　● steps to follow in carrying out the practices.

正确答案：【参考范文】
To: Manager
From: Will Smith
Date: Oct.23, 2012
Subject: Time Management
Introduction
I am glad to be tasked with this report on improving the efficiency of our work. I am with you that because of the fact that we do not plan our time well, we are not highly efficient. As a famous saying goes, “Time passes very fast, however, it is fair to everybody, not giving one a second more, and also not giving others one second less. It all depends on how you can make use of it.” As a result, if we can improve our time management skills, we could do our jobs efficiently, punctually, and also easily.
Recommendations
There are many means of helping us plan our working time. The best way to realize this is to get every staff to have their daily, weekly, and even monthly work plan. Therefore, it is necessary for us to look at our yearly performance goals, and break it into a monthly plan, i.e, within this month we will need to finish a certain task. People can by themselves decide on which date they would like to work on this. To manage time also means that we will need to handle interruptions. I would propose to our people that we cope with them, but also we need to remember our priorities, our monthly and yearly objective. If they have difficulty balancing them, I recommend that they let you make decisions for them.
The calendar function of Microsoft Office Inbox can do people a favor to plan their time. They will be suggested to put in calendar their planned job and task so that we can take a look and see whether they are doing it well or not.

Dreams Dreams do not happen when you're asleep. They happen when you're awake. Whatever your goals are, always remember you can make it true. Whether it be love, money, a childhood dream, and ultimately happiness, the most important idea is that you must never lose sight of your dream. Create reminders. Think about your original motivation often. Besides obvious factors that will come along when your dream is realized, think about other reasons. Who are you doing this dream for? Remind yourself often of your plan. Physical symbols always help—posting up pictures of the end result, buying items that symbolize your goals. Express your dream frequently. Whisper your dream through moonlight. Shout it on a busy highway. Write it on a balloon and set it free. Write it on paper boats and float them in the ocean. Write it as a message on a bottle and float that into the ocean. Explore and try different ways of different cultures of making ishes come true, small or big: paper cranes, and shooting stars. Tell your pet if you have one. Tell it to all the people you care about in your life. Create deadlines and punishments. For every step along the way, think of a realistic deadline. If too small, eventually you will be crashed with all the work you need and possibly never do it. If too large, you will probably forget about it. Punishments are necessary. They can be keeping yourself away from your favorite activities. Get a friend or family member to enforce this punishment. Keep your life. Do not forget about friends, family, work, and especially yourself! Keep contact with friends and family: over the internet, visit them, write to them. Try not start skipping work to work on your dream. Keep your brain, body, and soul in good shape at all times. Sleep often, read often, and enjoy life. Brainstorm ideas for your dream. Mind mapping (essentially creative concept mapping) is the ideal way to brainstorm. Any creative outlet will do just fine to find some creative ideas for your dream, especially writing or drawing. Any sort of art, even singing, playing music, photography, wood-carving can work. Buy a journal or two. Find inspiration. Mind mapping is the most ideal way to brainstorm.（）

A

True

B

False

C

Not Given

正确答案： C

解析：题干译文：心智图法是头脑风暴的最好方式。本题考查对细节的理解。第七段第二句提到Mind mapping （essentially creative concept mapping） is the ideal way to brainstorm ，心智图法（实质上是创造性的概念映射）是头脑风暴的一种理想方式。作者说是理想的方法但并没有说是否是最理想的方法。

正确答案： D

解析：
如果你想试着改善你的心态，我可以帮助你，但我不会涉及到你的债权人或你的罪犯朋友。if条件从句表示虚拟条件，虚拟现在时表示与现在事实相反的假设，其if从句的谓语形式用动词的过去式，主句用would/should/could/might+动词原形，从句中用过去式，主句中应该用现在式。有能力做什么用could，所以D选项正确。

Dreams Dreams do not happen when you're asleep. They happen when you're awake. Whatever your goals are, always remember you can make it true. Whether it be love, money, a childhood dream, and ultimately happiness, the most important idea is that you must never lose sight of your dream. Create reminders. Think about your original motivation often. Besides obvious factors that will come along when your dream is realized, think about other reasons. Who are you doing this dream for?

Boredom at Work ① You might find yourself staring at the clock, willing it to move faster so the boring workday will finally end. If your job offers little in the way of stimulation, there are steps you can take inside and outside the workplace. ② If you're bored with your job, it could be a sign that you've mastered the basic requirements and are ready for more of a challenge. You might not have been in your position long enough to request a promotion. Still, you can take steps to enhance your current role. Ask your boss if there are any projects you can help with. Volunteer to train less experienced colleagues. You'll feel more stimulated at work and also increase your chances of future advancement. ③ If you feel there is nothing left to learn in your present position, take steps to increase your knowledge. Your company's website might have online courses you can take during your slow periods, with your manager's permission. Enroll in training classes your company offers in areas that interest you. You also can pursue educational opportunities outside of the workplace, such as college classes, industry-specific training programs or self-improvement courses. If the knowledge you acquire doesn't help you in your present position, it might eventually help you move into a more fulfilling position. ④ Look for ways to challenge yourself. If your job involves performing repetitive tasks, set a quota for the number of times you can accomplish a particular task during the course of a shift. This will give you something to shoot for. If you have co-workers who perform the same tasks, make a friendly wager to see who can do the most. You'll form stronger bonds with your colleagues, and your employer is likely to notice your increased productivity. ⑤ According to psychotherapist and career coach Nina Ham, boredom at work might be a symptom of dissatisfaction with your personal life. Finding sources of stimulation outside of work can have a positive impact on your attitude toward your job. Seeking counseling for an emotional issue can also be of benefit. If your personal life is going well and nothing you try seems to improve your engagement level at work, it might be time to consider a job or even a career change.

A

strong desire for friendly relationships

your slow periods

dissatisfaction with your personal life

the basic requirements

performing repetitive tasks
