Section C-|||-Directions: There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.-|||-For each of them there are four choices marked A),B)C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the-|||-corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.-|||-Passage One-|||-Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.-|||-Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty seconds.When this short amount of time elapses, however,-|||-the numbers are erased from the memory.How did the information get there in the first place? Information that makes its way-|||-to the short term memory (STM)does so via the sensory storage area.The brain has a filter which only allows stimuli that is-|||-of immediate interest to pass on to the STM,also known as the working memory.-|||-There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory.The most accepted theory comes-|||-from George A.Miller,a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember approximately seven chunk-|||-of information.A chunk is defined as a meaningful unit of information,such as a word or name rather than just a letter or-|||-number.Modern theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short term memory by chunking,or classifying-|||-similar information toget By organizing information one can optimize the STM,and improve the chances of a memory-|||-being passed on to long term storage.-|||-When making a conscious effort to memorize something,such as information for an exam,many people engage in-|||-"rote rehearsal".By repeating something over and over again,we are able to keep a memory alive.Unfortunately,this type-|||-of memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no interruptions.As soon as a person stops rehearsing the informatio-|||-has the tendency to disappear.When a pen and paper are not handy,you might attempt to remember a phone number by-|||-repeating it aloud.If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in before you get the opportunity to make your phone call,-|||-you will forget the number instantly.Therefore,rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from the short term-|||-to long term memory.A better way is to practice elaborate rehearsal".This involves assigning semant meaning to a piece-|||-information so that it can be filed along with other pre-existing long term memories.-|||-Encoding information sema also makes it more retrievable.Retrievi information can be done by recognition or-|||-recall.Humans can recall memories that are stored in the long term memory and used often.However, if a memor seems to-|||-be forgotten, it may eventually be retrieved by prompting.The more cues a person is given (such as pictures),the more likely-|||-memory can be retrieved.This is why multiple choice tests are often used for subjects that require a lot of memorization.-|||-46.According to the passage,how do memories get transferred to the STM?-|||-A)They stem from the long term memory. C)They get rearranged when they enter the brain.-|||-B)They are filtered from the sensory storage area.

The government built it to help villagers out of being poor. During it, the workers met lots of problems building this road. The leader said they could build only five meters of the road one day sometimes.After the road was finished, some villagers sold their horses and bought motorcycles to ride very fast.

Confronted with the worst job market in decades, many college graduates who expected to land paid jobs are turning to unpaid internships to try to get a foot in an employer's door. Melissa Reyes, who graduated from Marist College with a degree in Fashion Merchandising last May, applied for a dozen jobs to no avail. She was thrilled, however, to land an internship with a fashion house in Manhattan.“They talked about what an excellent and educational internship program this would be,"she said. But Ms. Reyes soon soured on the experience. She often worked from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., five days a week."They had me running out to buy them lunch," she said.“They had me cleaning out the closets, emptying out the past season's items.”Asked about her complaints, the fashion firm said,"We are very proud of our internship program, and we take all concerns of this kind very seriously." Although many internships provide valuable experience, some unpaid interns complain that they do menial(无需技术的) work and learn little, raising questions about whether these positions violate federal rules governing such programs. On the other hand, interns say they often have no good alternatives. As a job report showed, job growth was weak, and the unemployment rate for 20-to 24-year-olds was 13.2 percent in April. The Labor Department says that if employers do not want to pay their interns, the internships must resemble vocational education, the interns must work under close supervision, they cannot be used as a substitute for regular employees, and their work cannot be of immediate benefit to the employer. But in practice, there is little to stop employers from exploiting interns. The Labor Department rarely cracks(制裁) down on offenders, saying that it has limited resources and that unpaid interns are loath to file complaints for fear of jeopardizing any future job search. No one keeps statistics on the number of college graduates taking unpaid internships, but there is widespread agreement that the number has significantly increased, not least because the jobless rate for college graduates aged 24 and under has risen to 9.4 percent, the highest level since the government began keeping records in 1985. “A few years ago you hardly heard about college graduates taking unpaid internships,"said a vice president at the Economic Policy Institute who has done several studies on interns.“But now I've even heard of people taking unpaid internships after graduating from Ivy League schools." 1 What does the author say about the unpaid internship in the first and second paragraphs? A It helps graduates apply for thrilling jobs. B It helps graduates to bargain about the salary. C It allows graduates to have meaningful programs. D It enables graduates to get better odds of being employed. 2 What does Melissa Reyes describe her internship like, according to the passage? A Serious and valuable. B Arduous but beneficial. C Educational and excellent. D Trivial with no skills required. 3 What are employers supposed to do, according to the passage? A Have interns work without supervision. B Get interns to work as regular employees. C Make interns'work benefit the company immediately. D Provide interns with something like vocational training. 4 Why are interns frequently suffering exploitation by employers? A It has become the“underlying rule”of society. B The law provides no measures to punish employers. C The government has no resources to deal with such cases. D Interns are reluctant to take official action as it may affect their future job prospect. 5 What do we learn about unpaid internships from the passage? A The quality of unpaid internships is good. B More graduates apply for unpaid internships. C Unpaid internships are an isolated phenomenon. D Unpaid internships are crucial for college graduates.

A．overwhelm B．discipline C．honesty D．integrity E.countriesF.ability G.outweighing H.corporate I.intelligent J.territories For CEOs，creativity is now the most important leadership quality for success in business，（1） ____ even integrity and global thinking，according to a new study by IBM.The study is the largest known sample of one-on-one CEO interviews.Over 1，500（2） ____ heads and public sector leaders across 60 nations and 33 industries were polled.They were asked what drives them in managing their companies in today's world. A manager at IBM Global Business Services expressed surprise at this key finding，saying that it is very interesting that coming off the worst economic conditions they'd ever seen，CEOs didn't return to traditional management（3） ____ ，existing best practices，rigor or operations.In fact，they did just the opposite. About 60 percent of CEOs polled cited creativity as the most important leadership quality，compared with 52 percent for（4） ____ and 35 percent for global thinking.Creative leaders are also more prepared to break with the traditions of the industry，enterprise and revenue models，and they are 81 percent more likely to rate innovation as a "crucial capability. " Other key findings showed a large gap between views of North American CEOs and those from other（5） ____ .For example，in North America，65 percent of CEOs think integrity is a top quality for tomorrow's leaders，whereas only 29–48 percent of CEOs in other territories view it as such.While company leaders in North America will bring more integrity to the job，they also expect far more regulation than foreign heads.
