　　Faced with a tough job market， fresh graduates are dreaming of running their own businesses instead. But a recent survey has showed that such ambitions lack the required support and remain just that—dreams.
　　The Shanghai Municipal Employment Promotion Center poll of 1，276 graduates in several universities and colleges in the city， released last Friday， showed 59. 78 percent of respondents considered the possibility of setting up a company or at least a small store. “But they just stop at the ＇thinking＇stage，” it stated. 　　Respondents put the top reasons for not going it alone down to a shortage of investment and a lack of business opportunity. They also listed lack of business experience and social networks， the need tor advanced study and objections from family members as factors that stood in their way.
　　More than 90 percent of the interviewees said they would rather take up a job after graduating and then consider starting their own business two or three years down the road.
　　Guo Bing， a senior student in Shanghai International Studies University majoring in English， decided he wanted to be his own boss last year. But he is looking for a job first. “If I fail to find a satisfying job， I would like to establish a company in exhibition services，” Guo said.
　　The Shanghai native has some relatives working in a local printing plant. With their help， Guo hopes to produce exhibition brochures at a relatively low price. He is also confident that his English language skills can help him do well in the industry.
　　“Social networking is an important factor leading to business success，” Guo said. Guo said that the shortage of graduate jobs is the main reason driving more university students to set up a business right after their graduation.
　　Jiang said the university sets up a business guide learn made of government officials and professionals. They regularly give training courses to students who show an interest in having their own business. The parents of university graduates are more willing to help their children start up alone， the survey showed. “Once you win the support of your family， you have won half the battle，” Guo added.
　　56. Which of the following can be the best title？
　　A. A Tough Job Market

　　The Tibetan Plateau（青藏高原） is the world＇s highest place. It＇s four times the size of France and home to most of the world＇s highest mountains.
　　As you might expect， it＇s cold there. And it may be that the deep chill of the Tibetan Plateau played a role in the evolution of some of the world＇s most charismatic（魅力十足的） animals.
　　That＇s the belief of a scientist who discovered the skull of a woolly rhino（长毛犀） on the Tibetan Plateau.
　　The woolly rhino—two tons， two tusks， lots of hair and lots of attitude—was an Ice Age giant. It lived with other Ice Age beasts in Europe and Asia， starting about 2.5 million years ago.
　　But Xiaoming Wang， from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County， was shocked when he found a 3.5-million-year-old rhino skull（头骨化石） on the Tibetan Plateau. “It caught us by complete surprise that they are actually up in the high plateau well before the Ice Age has started，” Wang says.
　　That＇s about a million years before the Ice Age started， in fact. Wang thinks his discovery shows that at least some animals were prepared for the Ice Age. “At least in the case of the woolly rhino， it actually adapted itself in the cold environment in the Tibetan Plateau before the Ice Age has even started，” Wang says.
　　“The animal actually used its head to sweep snow，” Wang explains， “so they can get at the vegetation below the snow cover.”
　　So Wang thinks the Plateau was a sort of evolutionary cradle（摇篮） for cold-weather animals. When the rest of the world eventually iced up， they moved out of Tibet and took over.
　　Anthony Barnosky， a paleontologist at the University of California， Berkeley， says even now， these isolated “cradles” are important for evolution.
　　“The interesting thing，” Barnosky says， “is on Earth today we have biodiversity（生物多样性） isolated in certain spots， and we just never know which of those isolated places will be the cradle of evolution for the next big environmental change coming down the pike（出现）.”
　　The only problem is that to be ready， you have to know what the next environment will be like. Or just be very lucky.
　　60. Which is NOT true about the woolly rhinos on the Tibetan Plateau？
　　A. They were Ice Age giants with two tusks， lots of hair and lots of attitude. 　　B. They had lived on the Tibetan Plateau before the Ice Age has started.
　　C. They hardly adapted themselves in the cold environment.
　　D. They were able to sweep snow with their heads.
　　61. What did Anthony Barnosky think of the isolated “cradles”？
　　A. They played an important role in evolution.
　　B. They adapted the cold weather.
　　C. It was hard to know whether they would change.
　　D. It was luck to change the next big environmental.
　　62. From the passage， we can infer that________.
　　A. Both Wang and Barnosky are paleontologists
　　B. Xiaoming Wang works in the USA
　　C. Facing the cold， the animals continuously evolved
　　D. A Chinese scientist discovered the skull of a woolly rhino
　　C
　　It is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world， there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent， as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists， however， the attractions of academia（学术界） outweigh any financial considerations.
　　Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return， and Lee＇s is one of them.
　　The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant， now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge， spent two years working for a pharmaceutical（制药的） company before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.
　　Higher up the ladder， where a pay cut is usually more significant， the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition（转换） to academia more attractive， according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not， such as how to build a multidisciplinary team， manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate， says Lee， perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.” 　　63. By “a one-way street” in Paragraph One， the author means________.
　　A. university researchers know little about the commercial world
　　B. there is little exchange between industry and academia
　　C. few university professors are willing to do industrial research
　　D. few industrial scientists would quit to work in a university
　　64. The underlined word “deterrent” most probably refers to something that________.
　　A. helps to move the traffic
　　B. keeps someone from taking action
　　C. attracts people＇s attention
　　D. brings someone a financial burden
　　65. What was Helen Lee＇s major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career？
　　A. Her preference for the lifestyle on campus.
　　B. Flexible work hours.
　　C. Expectations of academic accomplishments.
　　D. Her research interests.
　　66. What contribution can industrial scientists make when they come to teach in a university？
　　A. Help it to obtain financial support from industry.
　　B. Develop its students＇potential in research.
　　C. Increase its graduates＇competitiveness in the job market.
　　D. Push its research towards practical applications.
　　D
　　Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they＇re always coming in for criticism. Their critics seem to resent them because they have a gift for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. “It＇s unfair，” they say， “that this entirely unproductive industry（if we can call it that） should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don＇t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods？ After all， it＇s the consumer who pays…”
　　The poor old consumer！ He＇d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn＇t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine， it is more likely that you would obtain details about performance， price， etc.， from an advertisement. 　　Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements， but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are， too！ Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway regulations while waiting for a train？ Would you like to read only closely-printed columns of news in your daily paper？ A cheerful， witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the daily amount of great disasters.
　　We must not forget， either， that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers， commercial radio and television companies could not survive without this source of income. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper， or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price！
　　Another thing we mustn＇t forget is the “small ads”， which are virtually in every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community！ Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns！ For instance， you can find a job， buy or sell a house， announce a birth， marriage or death in what used to be called the “hatch， match and dispatch” column but so far the most fascinating section is the personal or “agony” column（读者来信专栏）. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It＇s the best advertisement for advertising there is！
　　67. What is the main idea of this passage？
　　A. Advertisements create mass markets for all products
　　B. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.
　　C. The benefits of advertisement.
　　D. The costs of advertisement.
　　68. The attitude of the author toward advertisers is________.
　　A. trustworthy
　　B. appreciative
　　C. critical
　　D. dissatisfactory
　　69. Which of the following is Not true？
　　A. Advertisement makes contribution to our pockets and we may know everything.
　　B. We can buy what we want.
　　C. Advertisement makes our life colorful.
　　D. Good quality products don＇t need to be advertised.
　　70. In what way does the writer try to support his view？
　　A. Comparison
　　B. Description
　　C. Narration 　　D. Definition
　　第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共35分）
　　第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）
　　第一节 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
　　认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
　　注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡相应题号的横线上。
　　Even the most self-confident among us will experience doubt from time to time. Self-doubt is that feeling of uncertainty about your ability to accomplish something. This dark shadow of insecurity can lead to hesitation and indecision. If left unchecked， it can cause us to abandon our course or radically compromise our expectations.
　　Here are 7 simple steps to conquering（战胜） self-doubt
　　1. Recognize and acknowledge your doubt. You cannot overcome something until you first recognize and acknowledge its existence. If we give into the temptation（诱惑）to ignore or deny self-doubt， it will impose limits on our ability to act. Self-doubt can be a stealthy（潜在的） problem. If you suspect that it exists， you need to pull it into the light so it can be dealt with. The better you become at identifying hidden doubts， the easier it will be to overcome them.
　　2. Analyze your doubt. Spend some time drilling down and figure out what triggered（引发） it and why？ When you analyze feelings， you make them vulnerable（脆弱）logic and reason. Normally， feelings override logic， but questioning the validity of feelings brings them within the reach of reason.
　　3. Identify the source. If you can figure out where these feelings originate， then you can hit them where they live. You don＇t need to psychoanalyze yourself back to childhood or anything like that. Just try to get a handle on the area of your life that creates your sense of uncertainty so you can work on it.
　　4. Is there a pattern. Do you have a history of self-doubt in this area？ Doubt tends to have favorite places to hang out. This raises the likelihood that we have probably experienced it in a similar situation before. Think back， have you been down this road before？ Did you overcome your doubts？ If so， what steps did you take？ If not， what can you do differently this time around？
　　5. Design a plan. Sit down and plan out a strategy for defeating your doubt. Make an educated decision about what to do next. Choose a path that you think will lead to conquering your doubts. Next， put your plan down in writing.
　　6. Anticipate（预计） possible challenges. Now look at your plan and try to identify possible challenges along the way. Is there some area that you need help with？ If so， ask someone close to you to give you some encouragement. Sometimes， some foresight and a little support is all it takes. 　　7. Take action. You have a plan， the next step is to put it to use by taking action. Stick to your plan and ask for help if you need it. In fact， encouragement is good even if you think you can go it alone.
　　For most people， self-doubt is just a temporary condition. Think of it like a speed bump on the road to success. Take the bump in stride（脚步）， then put the pedal to the metal， and go for it. When your confidence is challenged， just follow these seven steps and you will get past it. In fact， I have no doubt about your ability to leave self-doubt in the dust.
