In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts say the ___1___ is to make jobs more varied(多樣的). But do more varied jobs ___2___ greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that ___3___variety certainly makes the worker’s life more enjoyable, it doesn’t ___4___ make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then, ___5___ is not an important factor.
Other experts feel that giving the worker___6___ to do his job in his own way is important, and there is no doubt that this is true. The ___7___ is that this kind of freedom can’t easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated(復(fù)雜的) machinery which must be used in a ___8___ way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to ___9___ it.
Another important ___10___ is how much each worker ___11___ to the product he is making. In most factories the worker ___12___ only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now ___13___ with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his___14___. It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor ___15___ it is one we can do something about.
To what___16___ does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is ___17___. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. ___18___ just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A ___19___ argument may explain demands for shorter working hours.

本文主要是圍繞如何提高工人的生產(chǎn)力展開的。
1. A。前面說“許多國家面臨這種問題,就是如何才能使工人生產(chǎn)力高”,一些專家說“該問題的答案就是使工作多樣性”。
2. B。作者發(fā)出質(zhì)疑,“工作多樣性就能導(dǎo)致更大的生產(chǎn)力嗎”。lead to“導(dǎo)致”。
3. C。由句子it doesn’t ___4___ make him work harder可知前面的連詞表示“盡管”之意。
4. D。本句話意思是“有跡象表明盡管多樣性能夠使工人的生活更具有享受性,但實(shí)際上它并不能使工人們更努力地工作”。actually“實(shí)際上”。
5. A。上面介紹了“多樣性”這個(gè)話題,所以現(xiàn)在予以總結(jié)“多樣性不是重要的因素”。
6. B。由后面的解釋to do his job in his own way,可知“這是一種自由的表現(xiàn)形式”。
7. C。本句話中that從句中的內(nèi)容是存在的一個(gè)“問題”。
8. D。復(fù)雜的機(jī)械有一套“固定的”使用方法。fixed“固定的”。
9. B。根據(jù)意思“盡管選擇的自由可能重要,通常不能有為選擇它做什么!眂reate“做”。
10. C。上文提到“給工人們更多的自由”,這是專家所考慮的一個(gè)方案,所以推斷是“另外一個(gè)重要的考慮”。
11. D。本句話意思是“另外一個(gè)重要的考慮就是每個(gè)工人對(duì)他生產(chǎn)的產(chǎn)品貢獻(xiàn)了多少”。
12. D。每個(gè)工人只負(fù)責(zé)產(chǎn)品的某一個(gè)環(huán)節(jié),所以認(rèn)為“工人只能看到產(chǎn)品的一個(gè)部分”。
13. D。提到的作法只不過是一些汽車廠家的實(shí)驗(yàn)。
14. C。由句子Some car factories are now __13___ with having many small production lines rather than one large one可知,所填詞表示“生產(chǎn)線”比較恰當(dāng)。
15. A。本句話為not only…but (also)結(jié)構(gòu)。
16. A。作者再次提出問題“更多的錢能夠帶來更大的生產(chǎn)率究竟到什么程度”。extent“程度”。
17. B。工人工作主要是為了賺錢,故推斷“他們認(rèn)為上面的提法很重要”。
18. C。由句子But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. 推測。
19. D!坝迷黾渝X的方法來提高生產(chǎn)力”與“要求縮短工作時(shí)間來提高生產(chǎn)力”具有“相似”之處。
20. B。從“他們既不多要錢,也不想縮短工作時(shí)間”,可以推測“是在我們能夠把工作變得更有趣的前提下”。succeed in“成功做某事”。

Chinese writer Mo Yan’s Nobel Prize for Literature might ignite an explosion of global interest in Chinese literature and lead to more titles translated into English, European experts say.
“Hopefully, the award means more people will read Chinese literature and more works will get translated,” says Michel Hockx, professor of the Languages and Cultures of China and Inner Asia from University of London. “Many very good Chinese writers have been accepted globally for a long time already. Mo Yan is probably the most translated Chinese writer alive, with at least five of his novels made available in English over the past 20 years.”
Jonathan Ruppin, web editor of bookseller Foyles, says Mo’s win coincides with growing interest in Chinese literature and recognizes the talents of a distinctive and visionary(富于幻想的)writer. “We are very excited by the fact that English translations of more of his books should now become available,” Ruppin says. He made the comment after Mo became the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in its century-long history.
As East-West cultural exchange has been booming, Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention in recent years. Hockx explains, “It’s mainly because there are many more opportunities for Chinese writers to visit other countries, to publish their works outside China and to interact with readers abroad. At the same time, more and more people globally are learning Chinese and taking an interest in the Chinese language and culture.”
University of Oxford lecturer in modern Chinese literature Margaret Hillenbrand says, “The obvious reason for the growing global presence of Chinese literature is the growing global presence of China itself. People have come to realize that there is a serious knowledge deficit between China and its international counterparts — in particular, China knows incomparably more about Europe and America than the other way round — and reading Chinese literature is an effective, simple means of solving that gap.”
1.The underlined word “ignite” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A.start out B.burn up C.set off D.a(chǎn)ppeal to
2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Chinese literature has spread with the development of China.
B.The Nobel Prize for Literature has a history of hundreds of years.
C.In the past, no Chinese writers were accepted outside China.
D.Foreigners know about China mainly by reading Mo Yan’s works.
3.Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention mainly because
A.Chinese writers have been writing more and more books in English
B.the Chinese language has become the most widely used language in the world
C.the Chinese government attaches great importance to literature
D.the cultural communication between China and western countries has developed
4.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A.China knows more about Europe and America than before.
B.China knows more about Europe and America than they know about China.
C.China, Europe and America know one another more than before.
D.Compared with America, China knows more about Europe.

第二節(jié) 讀寫任務(wù)(共1小題,滿分25分)
閱讀下面的短文,然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
Some people think studying under pressure keeps us motivated. Maybe a little pressure does good to us, but too much pressure is not favorable to students. Scientific studies show people studying under too much pressure generally don’t perform as well as they do when they are not under extreme pressure. Psychologically, too much pressure can lead to mental problems or disorders. In recent years, there has been an increase in stress related diseases among college and high-school students. A newspaper article says many students admit that they have cheated in exams because of excessive pressure coming from their parents and teachers who demand high marks in their examination.
