Directions:In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing no more than three words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage.The City of the Future  What will city life be like in the future? Some people think that life in the cities is going to be horrible. They predict that cities will become more and more crowded. As the number of people increases, there will be less space for each person. This overcrowding will cause other problems—more crime, dirtier streets, and worse problems with traffic than we have now. How will people find enough drinking water, energy (such as gas and electricity), and housing? Because life will be hard, people who live in cities will worry more, and they may become sick. For these reasons, some say that nobody will want to live in urban areas.  How can we solve such problems as overcrowding, crime, and traffic? In some cities, thousands of people are already sleeping in the streets because there is so little suitable housing—and because rents are so high. The crime rate isn’t going down. Instead, it is increasing so fast that many people are afraid to go out at night. Traffic is also getting worse. More and more often, traffic jams are so bad that cars don’t move at all for several blocks. These urban problems have been getting worse, not better, so many people see no hope for the future of the city.  Los Angeles, California, for instance, has no subway system and the buses are slow. Instead, most commuters drive many miles from their homes to work. Many of these drivers spend several hours each day on busy freeways. New York, by contrast, has a mass transit system—buses, commuter trains, and subways. Because the public transportation is crowded and dirty, however, many people drive private cars, and the traffic jams are worse than in Los Angeles.  On the other hand, some cities have clean, fast, and pleasant public transportation systems. In Paris, France, and Toronto, Canada, for example, anyone can use mass transit to move quickly from one part of the city to another.  The disadvantages of any modern city are not unique to that city—that is, cities all over the world have to solve the problems of traffic jams, crime, housing, energy, drinking water, and overcrowding. Yet many cities have found answers to one or more of these difficulties. Some European cities, such as Stockholm, Sweden, or London, England, have planned communities that provide people with apartments, jobs, shopping centers, green space, entertainment, and transportation. Many U.S. cities are rebuilding their downtown areas. Urban planners can learn from one another. They can try solutions that have been successful in other parts of the world.  Summary:  Some people think that life in the cities is going to be horrible. They say that cities will become more and more crowded and many other problems will be caused by this  1 Due to the hard life, people do not want to live in  2 These urban problems such as overcrowding, crime and traffic have been getting worse, so many people  3 for the future of the city. However, these disadvantages of any modern city are not unique to that city. All the cities all over the world must solve the problems and fortunately, many of them have found answers to one or more of these difficulties. For example,  4 or London has planned communities providing people with apartments, jobs and so on. Besides, many U. S. cities  5 In a word, solutions that have been successful in a place should be adopted and tried in another place.

    C

    解析:
    从文章倒数第二段“The more we can enjoy what we have,the happier we are. ”“It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved,the company of friends…”可知,我们并没有去发掘生活中的乐趣,没有把生活中的普通事情当成快乐的源泉。“We’re so self-conscious about our“right”to it that it’s making us extremely unhappy. ”而把一切当作是理所当然的,所以我们不快乐。故选c。

    has nothing to do with work

    B

    is one way to control emotions

    C

    is one kind of negative emotions

    D

    sometimes may transform into fury


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    推理判断题。文中“However, if what passion means is minding about work, I’m all for it.”意思是激情会影响工作,所以A错误。第五段提到“企业一方面要求员工在工作中充满激情,另一方面又要求员工表现出专业精神,即在工作中控制压抑自己的不良情绪。”而,激情和控制情绪互相冲突,所以B错误。第六段提到“激情意味着专心工作”,并不是负面情绪,所以C错误。文章提到“The trouble is that minding means sometimes feeling furious when things don’t go according to plan.”意思是麻烦在于,当事情不按计划发展时,关心在意就意味着愤怒,所以正确答案为D。
