AT HOME - You should make sure your house or flat is secure. Always lock the door from the inside at night, but you must keep the key nearby, so that you can use it to get out quickly if there is a fire. - You must never give keys to workmen as they can easily make copies. - If you wake up and hear a burglar, stay quietly in bed. Pretend you are asleep. If you feel more confident, switch on the light and make a lot of noiseeven if you are on your own you should call out loudly to an imaginary companion, so that the burglar thinks you are not alone and runs away. You should have a phone or a mobile in your bedroom to alert the police immediately. - If you come home and think you see signs of a break-in, you shouldn't go in, the burglar may be inside. You should go to a neighbour and call the police. ON THE STREET At night: - Always walk facing the traffic, so that a car cannot pull up behind you. - You mustn't go through parks or woods. - If you think someone is following you, cross the road one or two times.

Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
When your parents advise you to “get an education” in order to raise your income，they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society，but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.
Get a high school diploma，at least. Without that，you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison，and you can successfully dropout in grade school.
Get a college degree，if possible. With a B. A. ，you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master's degree，make sure it is an M. B. A. ，and is famous. Law of diminishing returns begins to take effect.
Do you know，for instance，that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes，the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $ 24，000. While the full professors managed to earn just $ 23，030.
A Ph. D. is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes，if you pursue such a degree in any other field，you will face a dim future. There are more Ph. D. s unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.
If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or-worst of all-in philosophy. you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs，mind you，but for our demands.
Thousands of Ph. D. s are selling shoes，driving cars，waiting on table，and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the janitor earns.
You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough，that is，to make you useful to the gross national product. but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.
According to the writer，what the society expects of education is to turn out people who______.
A. will not be a disgrace to society
B. will become loyal citizens
C. can take care of themselves
D. can meet the nation's demands as a source of manpower

Electric Backpack

Backpacks are convenient. They can hold your books,your lunch,and a change of clothes,leaving your
hands free to do other things.Someday,if you don't mind carrying a heavy load,your backpacks might also
power your MP3 player,keep your cell phone running,and maybe even light your way home.
Lawrence C.Rome and his colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and the
Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole,Mass.,have invented a backpack that makes electricity from
energy produced while its wearer walks.In military actions,search-and-rescue operations,and scientific field
studies,people rely increasingly on cell phones,global positioning system(GPS)receivers,night-vision
goggles,and other battery-powered devices to get around and do their work. The backpack's electricity-generating
feature could dramatically reduce the amount of a wearer's load now devoted to spare batteries,report Rome
and his colleagues in the Sept.Science.
The backpack's electricity-creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal
frame.The frame sits against the wearer's back,and the whole pack moves up and down as the person
walks.A gear mechanism converts vertical movements of the pack to rotary motions of an electrical generator,
producing up to 7.4 watts.
Unexpectedly tests showed that wearers of the new backpack alter their gaits in response to the pack's
oscillations,so that they carry loads more comfortably and with less effort than they do ordinary backpacks.
Because of that surprising advantage,Rome plans to commercialize both electric and non-electric versions of
the backpack.
The backpack could be especially useful for soldiers,scientists,mountaineers,and emergency workers
who typically carry heavy backpacks.For the rest of us,power-generating backpacks could make it possible to
walk,play video games,watch TV,and listen to music,all at the same time.Electricity-generating packs
aren't on the market yet,but if you do get one eventually,just make sure to look both ways before crossing
the street!

Backpacks are convenient because_____________.
A:they can be very large
B:they can hold as many things as you want to carry
C:your hands are freed to do other things
D:you do not have to carry things with you

答案：C
解析：
第一段告诉我们，因为背包可以装许多东西，所以可以将双手解放出来做其他事情。
第二段的第一句说，Lawrence C.Rome及其同事们发明的这种背包，当背着背包走路时，会有电能产生；该段最后一句告诉我们，背包的这种性能可减少背包的重量，因为不必携带备用电池。
“springs”在此是“弹簧”的意思。spring是一个多义词：泉水（A）、春天（B）、弹跳（C）。
第四段最后一句的意思是：Rome计划将这种背包商业化，即推向市场。A项不是Rome 的计划，C、D两项在文中均未提到。D项的意思是为背包做广告。
这个句子的字面意思是：如果你终于得到这样的背包，过马路时一定要两边都看看。也就是说，不要因为同时玩着游戏，听着音乐、看着电视，太专注以致不注意来往车辆了。第三篇本文主要介绍了一种预刚山体滑坡的设备。

Energy Cycle

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful?This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation.He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you are"hot".That's true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at this peak.For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar words as:"Get up, John!You'll be late for work again!"The possible explanation to the trouble is he is at his tempera-ture-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can't change your energy cycle,but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help,Dr. Kleitman believes.Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway.Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start,which saves your energy.Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours.

If your energy peak is in the evening,you might like to get up late.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

答案：A
解析：
虽然文章第一段提到早上起不来床会被称为懒，但是本文强调的是Kleitman博士所提出的新观点，就是这可能是由于每个人不同的能量周期决定的。因此不是所有早上起不来的人都是懒，所以这句话是错误的。
根据文章第二段和第三段我们知道能量峰值在晚上的人早上精神会不好，能量峰值在早上的人则相反，因此本句是正确的。
文章第二段最后一句讲到如果夫妻双方都能意识到能量周期的不同，那么“much family quarrelling ends”，即少了许多争吵，也就是说很多争吵是因为没有意识到能量周期的问题，因此本句表述是错误的。
第二段三句讲“The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at this peak"，即精力最充沛的时候体温最高，但这并不意味着精力和体温是一码事，例如人生病的时候会发烧但精神会很差。本句的表述是错误的。
文章第二段告诉我们“No one has discovered why this is so”，即没人知道为什么每个人的能量周期不同，因此我们也不知道是不是有遗传因素，所以选择选项C。
第三段第一句告诉我们虽然可以让自己的生活适应能量周期，但是“you can't change your energy cycle"，因此本句表述是错误的，应当选择选项B。
文章第三段最后两句建议早上处于低潮的人们要比平时起得早，这样才能工作得更好。因此本句的陈述是正确的。

第6题：

资料：As a startup founder, my daily tasks include everything from long-term strategic planning to approving team outings and company culture initiatives. Day after day, things inevitably come up that need to get handled ASAP. But I’ve also learned that if you don’t have a strategy for making time for those bigger ambitions and your truly lofty goals, they’ll simply never get done. And that means you won’t make the progress that’s really going to move your business forward.
1. FIND YOUR MOST PRODUCTIVE TIME
Face it: You aren’t cranking out work at absolute peak productivity for the entire day. Instead, there are likely certain times when you’re at your most focused and other times when your energy wanes. That’s normal. Maybe for you, it’s bright and early in the morning, before anyone else arrives in the office, when you do your best work. Whenever it is, identify that chunk of time （even if it’s only an hour!） when you feel most productive, and then reserve it on your calendar like you would any other important meeting. You need to protect this block of time from intrusion--it isn’t optional. That way you’re guaranteed to have a regular, designated period when you can at least get started on those bigger to-dos.
2. CREATE PHYSICAL BARRIERS
Nobody works in a vacuum. We all have to collaborate with others to some degree or another. And it’s the people we work closest with whom we tend to put first--we want to be readily available if they need our help. But there are times you need to tune out the distractions and focus if you’re going to get any meaningful work done.
One of the most effective methods I’ve found is to put physical barriers between us. I’ll work from a conference room or even from home on occasion in order to get some literal space from people needing “just one quick thing.”

The word “wanes” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to:

A.increase
B.peak
C.diminish
D.disappear

答案：C
解析：
本题考查的是词义理解。
【关键词】“wanes” in paragraph 2 ；closest in meaning to
【主题句】第2自然段Face it: You aren’t cranking out work at absolute peak productivity for the entire day. Instead, there are likely certain times when you’re at your most focused and other times when your energy wanes. 面对现实：你绝不可能一整天都处于绝对高产的峰值。事实上，往往你在固定的时间内最为专心，而在其余时间里精力则会衰退。
【解析】题干意为“与第2自然段的‘wanes’意思最相近的选项是哪一个？” 选项A意为“增加”；选项B意为“最高点”；选项C意为“减少”；选项D意为“消失”。根据主题句可知，前半句说的是注意力最集中的时候，那后半句应该说的是相反的意思，也就是注意力减少，故选项C正确。
第7题：

资料：Being financially secure in retirement just doesn't happen magically. It takes lots of planning, time and savings.
Some scary facts about retirement:
More than 50% of persons do not have enough finances for retirement.
25% do not participate in their company's retirement plan.
The average person spends 20 years in retirement.
Here are some tips to help you plan correctly:
1. Talk to a financial professional. Every few years, it's a good idea to schedule a meeting with a financial planner to get a “check-up”. It's just like a doctor's visit, and you should really talk about your present situation and future goals.
2. Save, save, and keep on saving. Make it a habit to save as much as you can.
3. Learn your retirement needs. Retirement can be expensive. Learn from today how much you need to save for your retirement. Talk to a financial planner, or find an online retirement calculator.
4. Take part in your employer's retirement plans. If your company offers one, it is usually the best tool you can use. Talk to a financial professional for all your options.
5. Learn about pension plans. If you have an employer or government pension plan, learn all the details.
6. Keep your retirement savings off-limits. Don't make a withdrawal until you retire. You might incur penalties and it will be a setback for realizing your goals.
7. Get your employer to start one, and it can help you tremendously.
8. Learn about your government's retirement plans. Every country has different plans, some with special tax incentives, so learn what your country offers and plan accordingly.
9. Do your own research. Use the Internet, read the newspapers and magazines, talk to your friends, to find out as much as you can about retirement.

Which of the following is NOT true about retirement?

A.More than half of people don’t have enough finances for retirement.
B.quarter of people don’t take part in their company’s retirement plan.
C.No one can be financially secure in retirement.
D.The average person will spend 20 years in retirement.

答案：C
解析：
本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】not true; retirement
【主题句】第二自然段1.More than of persons do not have enough finances for retirement.超过的人没有足够的资金用于退休。2. do not participate in their company’s retirement plan.没有参与公司退休计划。3.The average person spends 20 years in retirement.一般人花费20年时间退休。
【解析】题干意为“以下哪个关于退休的选项不正确？”选项A意为“半数以上的人没有足够的资金用于退休”；选项B意为“四分之一的人没有参加公司的退休计划”；选项C意为“没有人可以在经济上安全退休”；选项D意为“一般人花费20年时间退休”。根据主题句，结合题意选C。

【解析】本题的问题是“文章主要讲什么？”根据主题句可知，文章主要是谈尽管事务众多，要学会为真正的“大事”（重要事务）挤出时间。所以D选项“如何抗干扰，集中精力在重要事务上”正确。

Energy Cycle
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful?This might be called laziness,but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're“hot”.That's true .The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak .For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar monologues as:“Get up,John!You'll be late for work again!”The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can't change your energy cycle,but you can learn to make your life fit to it better. Habit can help,Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but you must stay up late anyway .Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy .Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble of searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before .Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?
A: Unawareness of energy cycles.
B:Familiar monologues.
C: A change in a family member's energy cycle.
D: Attempts to work more efficiently during the cycle of other family members.

答案：A
解析：
根据第一段可以看出，早晨起不来与个人每天的能量周期有关。根据文章第二段中约翰自言自语以及紧接着的解释“Get up , John ! You'll be late for work again ! ” The explanation… temperature-and-energy peak in the evening．可推断出答案。

答案的线索在第二段最后一句话“Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.”也就是说，如果丈夫和妻子能明白不同的能量周期是怎么回事，家里每个人有什么样的能量周期，很多家庭争吵就不会发生。所以正确答案是A。

“如果一个人想在早上能量低潮时更有效地工作，那么他该怎么办？”根据这两句话“If your energy is low in the morning but you have…but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.”可以断定正确答案应该是C。

“建议你早上起床时打个呵欠，伸伸懒腰，因为它们会＿______”首先应理解文章最后一段的第一句话“get off to a slow start which saves your energy”，还要理解该句后面的三句话，它们是保存能量的具体方法。“Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch”当然是为了保存能量。所以正确答案是A。

选项B说Dr. Kleitman解释了为什么人们在一天里的不同时刻会有不同的能量高峰。而文章第二段指出没有人发现为什么会有不同的能量周期“For some people the peak comes during morning…No one has discovered why this is so.”两者不符，所以正确答案是B。

单选题
Good Communication for Making Friends As a communication skills trainer, I've met a wide range of people. Some people have trouble associating with others and have difficulty making friends. So I would like to discuss two key points to making good friends. The first is to show respect and love for your friends through your words. Try to say things to others that would feel good to you if you heard them. For example, say things like, "Thanks for the great time" and "It was really nice to get to know you."If you are not good at speaking, then smiling and using body language to express your sincerity is also an effective way to communicate. Additionally, I recommend that when you meet someone new send them an e-mail or letter before the day is over to express how nice it was to meet them. The goal of good communication is to reach another person's heart and form a comfortable relationship. It is, therefore, based the premise that you get rid of your worries and become a bright and positive person. When there is static noise over the phone line, you can't hear the other person clearly, right? In the same way, when your mind is full of worries and you try to communicate with another person, you cannot give or receive messages accurately. For example, let's say you are still tied to a past wound of being betrayed by a friend and feeling hurts .Even if you meet someone new and he or she tells you, "Let's be good friends," you may not be able to accept it because you will hear a negative inner voice saying something like "I might be betrayed again" or "the person might have a hidden agenda."With this worry in your mind, you will not be able to make friends. If you can be refreshed and get rid of your worries, you should be able to sense others' thoughts and feelings without prejudice and build a relationship of trust. If you really can't let go of your painful past experience, then try to change your perspective on the experience. For example, try to think that it was a necessary lesson for you to understand others' pain. If you can think of the positive intention behind the event, then you will be able to view the experience favourably and feel better. In the sentence "the person might have a hidden agenda" (para.2) ,the word "agenda" means（）
A
relationship
B
plan
C
worry
D
past

正确答案： D
解析：这句话出现在作者所举的反面例子中。人们头脑中出现的焦虑情绪会怀疑对方有潜藏计划或某种秘密企图。agenda可理解为某种计划、企图。答案为B。

第14题：

根据内容，回答下面问题：It’s not easy being a teenager-nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while making him realize that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you. Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve (解决) things by himself. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy (隐私). Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations. Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.

Energy Cycle

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful?This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation.He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you are"hot".That's true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at this peak.For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar words as:"Get up, John!You'll be late for work again!"The possible explanation to the trouble is he is at his tempera-ture-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can't change your energy cycle,but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help,Dr. Kleitman believes.Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway.Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start,which saves your energy.Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours.

Energy cycle and body temperature are the same things.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

答案：B
解析：
虽然文章第一段提到早上起不来床会被称为懒，但是本文强调的是Kleitman博士所提出的新观点，就是这可能是由于每个人不同的能量周期决定的。因此不是所有早上起不来的人都是懒，所以这句话是错误的。
根据文章第二段和第三段我们知道能量峰值在晚上的人早上精神会不好，能量峰值在早上的人则相反，因此本句是正确的。
文章第二段最后一句讲到如果夫妻双方都能意识到能量周期的不同，那么“much family quarrelling ends”，即少了许多争吵，也就是说很多争吵是因为没有意识到能量周期的问题，因此本句表述是错误的。
第二段三句讲“The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at this peak"，即精力最充沛的时候体温最高，但这并不意味着精力和体温是一码事，例如人生病的时候会发烧但精神会很差。本句的表述是错误的。
文章第二段告诉我们“No one has discovered why this is so”，即没人知道为什么每个人的能量周期不同，因此我们也不知道是不是有遗传因素，所以选择选项C。
第三段第一句告诉我们虽然可以让自己的生活适应能量周期，但是“you can't change your energy cycle"，因此本句表述是错误的，应当选择选项B。
文章第三段最后两句建议早上处于低潮的人们要比平时起得早，这样才能工作得更好。因此本句的陈述是正确的。

第18题：

资料：As a startup founder, my daily tasks include everything from long-term strategic planning to approving team outings and company culture initiatives. Day after day, things inevitably come up that need to get handled ASAP. But I’ve also learned that if you don’t have a strategy for making time for those bigger ambitions and your truly lofty goals, they’ll simply never get done. And that means you won’t make the progress that’s really going to move your business forward.
1. FIND YOUR MOST PRODUCTIVE TIME
Face it: You aren’t cranking out work at absolute peak productivity for the entire day. Instead, there are likely certain times when you’re at your most focused and other times when your energy wanes. That’s normal. Maybe for you, it’s bright and early in the morning, before anyone else arrives in the office, when you do your best work. Whenever it is, identify that chunk of time （even if it’s only an hour!） when you feel most productive, and then reserve it on your calendar like you would any other important meeting. You need to protect this block of time from intrusion--it isn’t optional. That way you’re guaranteed to have a regular, designated period when you can at least get started on those bigger to-dos.
2. CREATE PHYSICAL BARRIERS
Nobody works in a vacuum. We all have to collaborate with others to some degree or another. And it’s the people we work closest with whom we tend to put first--we want to be readily available if they need our help. But there are times you need to tune out the distractions and focus if you’re going to get any meaningful work done.
One of the most effective methods I’ve found is to put physical barriers between us. I’ll work from a conference room or even from home on occasion in order to get some literal space from people needing “just one quick thing.”

What can be inferred from paragraph 3?

A.You have to be readily available in the office.
B.People cannot work in a vacuum.
C.People in the office love helping others.
D.Sometimes we have to decline colleagues’ requests.

答案：D
解析：
本题考查的是推理判断。
【关键词】inferred；paragraph 3
【主题句】第3自然段 But there are times you need to tune out the distractions and focus if you’re going to get any meaningful work done.但是如果你需要完成一些意义重大的工作，就需要一些屏蔽干扰的时间。
【解析】题干意为“从第3自然段可以推断出什么？” 选项A意为“你必须在办公室随时待命”；选项B意为“人们不能在真空中工作”；选项C意为“办公室的人喜欢帮助别人”；选项D意为“有时候我们不得不拒绝同事的要求”；根据主题句可知，虽然在别人需要帮助的时候，我们希望提供帮助。但是，有时我们在做有意义的工作的时候，不得不婉拒同事的请求。故选项D正确。
第19题：

资料：Being financially secure in retirement just doesn't happen magically. It takes lots of planning, time and savings.
Some scary facts about retirement:
More than 50% of persons do not have enough finances for retirement.
25% do not participate in their company's retirement plan.
The average person spends 20 years in retirement.
Here are some tips to help you plan correctly:
1. Talk to a financial professional. Every few years, it's a good idea to schedule a meeting with a financial planner to get a “check-up”. It's just like a doctor's visit, and you should really talk about your present situation and future goals.
2. Save, save, and keep on saving. Make it a habit to save as much as you can.
3. Learn your retirement needs. Retirement can be expensive. Learn from today how much you need to save for your retirement. Talk to a financial planner, or find an online retirement calculator.
4. Take part in your employer's retirement plans. If your company offers one, it is usually the best tool you can use. Talk to a financial professional for all your options.
5. Learn about pension plans. If you have an employer or government pension plan, learn all the details.
6. Keep your retirement savings off-limits. Don't make a withdrawal until you retire. You might incur penalties and it will be a setback for realizing your goals.
7. Get your employer to start one, and it can help you tremendously.
8. Learn about your government's retirement plans. Every country has different plans, some with special tax incentives, so learn what your country offers and plan accordingly.
9. Do your own research. Use the Internet, read the newspapers and magazines, talk to your friends, to find out as much as you can about retirement.

Who can be a financial professional?

A.The professional who will do a physical “check-up” for you.
B.The professional who will visit you like a doctor.
C.The professional who will schedule a meeting with you.
D.The professional who will help you make your financial plans.

答案：D
解析：
本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】Who ; financial professional
【主题句】第1条Talk to a financial professional. Every few years, it’s a good idea to schedule a meeting with a financial planner to get a “check-up”. It’s just like a doctor’s visit, and you should really talk about your present situation and future goals.和财务专家谈谈。每隔几年，最好安排一次与理财规划师的会面，进行一次“体检”。这就类似于医生拜访，你应该真正谈论下你目前的情况和未来的目标。
【解析】题干意为“谁能成为财务专家？”选项A意为“会为你做一次身体检查的专家”；选项B意为“会像医生一样拜访你的专家”；选项C意为“会安排与你会面的专家”；选项D意为“会帮助你制定理财计划的专家”。根据主题句，D符合题意。

For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar monologues as:“Get up,John!You'll be late for work again!”The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening.

If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning,he should_______.
A: change his energy cycle
B: overcome his laziness
C:get up earlier than usual
D:go to bed earlier

答案：C
解析：
根据第一段可以看出，早晨起不来与个人每天的能量周期有关。根据文章第二段中约翰自言自语以及紧接着的解释“Get up , John ! You'll be late for work again ! ” The explanation… temperature-and-energy peak in the evening．可推断出答案。

答案的线索在第二段最后一句话“Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.”也就是说，如果丈夫和妻子能明白不同的能量周期是怎么回事，家里每个人有什么样的能量周期，很多家庭争吵就不会发生。所以正确答案是A。

“如果一个人想在早上能量低潮时更有效地工作，那么他该怎么办？”根据这两句话“If your energy is low in the morning but you have…but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.”可以断定正确答案应该是C。

“建议你早上起床时打个呵欠，伸伸懒腰，因为它们会＿______”首先应理解文章最后一段的第一句话“get off to a slow start which saves your energy”，还要理解该句后面的三句话，它们是保存能量的具体方法。“Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch”当然是为了保存能量。所以正确答案是A。

选项B说Dr. Kleitman解释了为什么人们在一天里的不同时刻会有不同的能量高峰。而文章第二段指出没有人发现为什么会有不同的能量周期“For some people the peak comes during morning…No one has discovered why this is so.”两者不符，所以正确答案是B。
