how do you tell them about it？” how he got the job: the apple board begged him to return. management style: at apple, jobs is a micromanagersome say nanomanager who changes mood suddenly and unexpectedly. virtually every decision goes by him. at any time, 10,000 employees are wondering, “what would steve say？” not “what is the right thing to do？” said a former apple executive. at pixar, realizing that he isnt a film visionary, he leaves the experts to their knitting. financial reward: his apple rewards are minimala salary of one dollar a year so that his family is eligible for the health plan. but his 69 percent share of pixar is worth about $ 1.3 billion.selected from a newspaper5. according to the passage, the following adjectives can be used to describe jobs except _.acreative beasygoingcdemanding ddistinguished6. we can learn from the passage that _.ajobs can work well in every fieldbthe colorful imac is accepted for its low pricecjobs makes a big difference at apple as a designerdthe technology is more important than business idea7. the underlined word “nabbed” in paragraph 2 probably means “_”apulled up bbrought incwent through dhanded over8. what does the author mainly want to tell us?ajobs is the richest man in the world.bjobs is a giant of electronic products.cjobs spends most of his time at pixar.djobs can get much money a year as his salary.答案：【语篇解读】文章介绍了史蒂夫乔布斯这位电子产品方面的巨人的一些情况。5b解析：细节理解题。从他的成就来看，他是非常有创造力的(creative)，也是世界著名的(distinguished)，从他的管理风格来看，他是要求很高的(demanding)，故选b。6c推理判断题。从整篇文章对史蒂夫乔布斯的介绍我们可知，乔布斯作为一名设计师在苹果公司影响非凡，故选c。7b解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“a total $159 million in domestic box office”可知，这里是指赚到这些钱。bring in意思是“使赚到”，与画线词同义。8b解析：写作意图题。文章不仅介绍了乔布斯是美国苹果公司的联合创办人、前行政总裁，具有独特的创造力，还介绍了他的经营理念、管理风格等。由此可看出作者主要是想告诉我们乔布斯是电子产品方面的巨人。c(2014河南洛阳高三期末) some people are happy to believe in esp (第六感觉) while others are firm disbelievers.parapsychologists, who lend a certain seriousness to the subject, have identified four types of esp: clairvoyance describes the act of being able to obtain knowledge of a person or event without the use of the normal senses; telepathy is the process by which a person is able to read another persons thoughts without the use of any of the normal senses; psychokinesis is the ability to influence a physical object just by thinking about it; precognition is the term applied when somebody is able to foresee future events. over the years there have been many esp experiments conducted by serious scientists in serious institutions. joseph banks rhine, a botanist at duke university published a famous book in 1934 called “extrasensory perception” in which he claimed to have overwhelming (压倒性的) evidence of esp. however, other scientists have been unable to repeat his results exactly in the same way, which has resulted in the book losing much of its original reliability(可靠性) the granzfield experiments are considered to have been the most carefully examined esp experiments.the experimenters had their eyes covered and ears blocked while a “sender” attempted to transmit messages.later the experimenters would compare the messages received to the original messages sent out.there was a great deal of excitement and interest at the time but the research failed to produce convincing results. human beings are attracted to the supernatural phenomena. esp will always continue to fascinate. some of the most successful films in recent years have fuelled interest among the younger generations who are starting to ask the same questions and to look for explanations for the same phenomena as their parents and grandparents before them. who knows? one day we might just find these answers because one thing is certain, “the truth is out there！”9. according to the passage, rhines book _.awas accepted by famous scientists in esp fieldbpresented the firsthand evidence against espcwasnt trusted and believed by the publicdtruly proved results of the experiments10. in paragraph 3 and 4, the author wants to show _.awhat resulted in peoples disbeliefbwho were involved in the experimentscwhy people accepted espdhow seriously the experiments were conducted11. the authors attitude towards esp is _.aobjective bdefensive csupportive dpersuasive答案：【语篇解读】这是一篇科普文。人们对于第六感觉这一超自然的现象很感兴趣，但遗憾的是，迄今为止人们没能证明第六感觉是否存在，只有时间能告诉我们这个问题的答案。9c解析：细节理解题。第三段说，rhine在1934年写了一本书，宣称他掌握了关于第六感存在的大量证据，但其他科学家用同样的方式去研究却不能得到与他一样的结果，于是这本书就失去了可靠性(the book losing much of its original reliability)，由此可知选c，他的书不被公众接受。10a解析：推理判断题。第三、四段讲述了两个研究，这两个研究在当时轰动一时，但都没有得出让人相信的证据或结果，因此选a。11a解析：推理判断题。最后一段作者说，人们对第六感这一超自然的现象很感兴趣，还在寻找解释，或许有一天我们能找到解释，因为有一点是确定的，“事实的真相摆在那里”。由此可以看出，作者只相信事实的真相，没有直接肯定或否定这一现象的存在，因此选a。.书面表达(提纲类图表类开放类)(一)(2014四川卷)假设你是李夏，你的美国笔友sam来信关心你参加高考的情况，请根据以下要点回信告知。1考试日期与科目；2.考试准备情况；3.考试时的状态；4.对试题的感受；5.可能的考试结果。注意：1词数120左右；2.开头语和结尾语已为你写好；3.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；4.文中不能出现考生真实姓名和学校名称。参考词汇：高考college entrance examinationdear sam，thank you for your concern._best wishes!yours，li xia答案：dear_sam，thank_you_for_your_concern.i am very glad to receive your letter，in which you asked me about how i was getting along in the college entrance examination.id like to tell you something about it.its widely known that the college entrance examination in china falls on june 7 and 8 each year.as a science student，ive been reviewing chinese，math，english，physics，chemistry and biology，which all belong to the college entrance examination subjects.in the past few months，ive made good preparations and felt pretty confident. during the exams，i was kind of nervous.however，i think it is natural，for a little stress can be good for the exams.though some of the questions seem unfamiliar to me，they are easy to answer. the exams are likely to work out as expected and my dream to be admitted into my favorite university will come true.best_wishes!yours，li_xia(二)假设你是育才中学学生会主席李华。你校将举办一次英语演讲比赛(speech contest)，希望附近某大学的外籍教师smith女士来做评委。请参照以下比赛通知给她写一封信。英语演讲比赛主题：人与自然时间：6月15日下午2：005：00地点：501教室参赛选手：10名学生联系人：李华(电话44876655)欢迎大家光临注意：词数100左右。dear ms. smith，_with best wishes，li hua答案：dear_ms._smith，im li hua, chairman of the student union of yucai middle school, which is close to your university. im writing to invite you to be a judge at our english speech contest to be held in rom 501 in
