20、 had inched along through heavy miming traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day. Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. Wh

21、en she finally reached the office marked "Smith Enterprises", she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.

22、Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. In fact,. t hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. In the front of the room, somebody mu

23、st have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a m

24、atter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No onepaid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith,

25、who would arrive at any moment. then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when

26、 to start working. 56. Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as_ . A. she had been there only once B. Mr. Smith was not m the officeC. nobody was doing any work D. the office seemed different57. The peopling the office suddenly started working because_. A. their morning break was end

27、ed B. the boss was about to arriveC. they saw a stranger in the office D. no one wanted to talk to Marie58. We can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise_. A. were cold to newcomersB. were always punctual for workC. lacked devotion to the companyD. would start their work by listeni

28、ng to a joke59. The best title for this text would be_ . A. Punctual Like A Clock B. A Cold WelcomeC. An Unpunctual Manager D. Better Late Than Never BWhen e-mail first came into general use about twenty years ago, there was a lot of talk about the arrival of the paperless office. However, it seems

29、that e-mail has yet to revolutionize office communication. According to communications analyst Richard Metcalf, some offices have actually seen an increase in paper as a result of e-mail. "Information in the form of e-mal messages now floods our computer screens. These messages can be sent so q

30、uickly that memos（备忘录） tend to be distributed in the hundreds. For those secretaries whose bosses ask them to print out all their e-mails and leave them in their in-trays, this means using up a great deal of paper every month," Metcalf says. Metcalf has found that because some e-mails get lost

31、in cyberspace, important documents are increasingly likely to be asked by clients（客户）and colleagues to send all important documents both by e-mail and by fax or "snail mail" - through the post. This highlights a further potential problem with e-mail in today's offices - it is taking up

32、 time rather than saving it. "With e-mail, communication is much easier, but there is also more room for misunderstandings," says psychologist Dr David Lewis. Generally, much less care is taken with e-mails than with letters or faxes and the sender will probably print the document and rere

33、ad it before putting it in an envelope or sending it by fax. More worrying is still the increasing misuse of e mail for sending "flame-mail" - abusive or inappropriate e-mail messages, Recent research in several companies suggests that aggressive communications like this are on the increas

34、e. E-mail has become the perfect medium for expressing workplace dissatisfaction because it is so instant. E-mail can also be a problem in other ways. Staffs all too often make the mistake of thinking that the contents fan e-mail, like things said over the phone, are private and not permanent. But i

35、t is not only possible for an employer to read all your e-mails, it is also perfectly legal. E-mail messages can be traced back to their origin for a period of at least two years, so you might want to rethink e-mailing your dissatisfaction about your too to your friends. The advice is to keep person

36、al e-mails out of the office. It goes without saying that e-mail exists to make Jife easier, and if used correctly, it is an invaluable tool for businesses of all sizes. But perhaps, for the time being, the fact that in the business world 70 percent offal documents are still in paper form is not suc

37、h a bad thing after all. 60. Why has the promise of the paperless office not come true in many offices?A. People write more memos than they used to. B. Staff leave messages lying around their offices. C. Many managers prefer to read their messages on paper. D. Many secretaries keep paper copies of t

38、heir bosses' e-mails. 61. What does Richard Metcalf say about e-mail in Paragraph 2?A. It is not an appropriate channel for sending important information. B. It increases the amount of paperwork done in offices. C. It is not popular with many secretaries. D. It is a less efficient channel than f

39、ax. 62. Why should employees not use company e-mail systems for personal messages?A. Because company e-mail systems are not easy to use. B. Because e-mail is not a private means of communication. C. Because they allow people to express their anger immediately. D. Because the people the messages are

40、sent to can't respond immediately. 63. What does the writer conclude about e-mail in the last paragraph?A. It has already made life a lot easier for many businesses. B. It is not being used enough in business today. C. It is really useful when people use it properly. D. It will never replace wri

41、tten communication. CIs it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient institution,-which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past human race managed to live with it. Modern inventiveness has changed this. Either man

42、will end war, or war will end man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological（使用细菌的）or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in ending nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until

43、we have succeeded in ending war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in kiting people, but by agreement with principles of law. It is not easy to, change very

44、 old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted. There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology（观念，思想意识）would prevent war. I believe this to be a big error. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements that are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their ad

45、herents （追随者，支持者） believe in them so fanaticallythat they are willing to go to war in support of them. The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems

46、 remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements

47、wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between man and the atom bomb. 64. In the sentence "To do this, we need to persuade mankind" （Para l）, "this" refers to . A. abolish war B. improve weap

48、onsC. solve international problemsD. live a peaceful life65. From Paragraph 2 we loam that the author of the passage . A. is an adherent of some modern ideologiesB. does not doubt the truth of any ideologiesC. believe that the adoption of some ideology could prevent warD. does not think that adoptio

49、n of any ideology could prevent war66. The last paragraph suggests that . A. nuclear war will definitely not take placeB. man begins to realize the danger of nuclear warC. nuclear war has already been understood by peopleD. imitational agreements can be reached more easily nowDOnly two countries in

50、the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for a newsborn child. Last spring one of the two, Australia, gave up the dubious distinction by establishing paid family leave starting in 2011. I wasn't surprised when this didn't make the news here in the United State

51、s - we're now the only wealthy country without such a policy. The United States does have one explicit family policy, the Family and Medical Leave Act, passed in 1993. It entitles workers to as much as 12 weeks' unpaid leave for care of a newsboy or dealing with a family medical problem. In

52、spite of the modesty of the benefit, the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups fight it bittery, describing it as "government-run personnel management" and a "dangerous precedent（先例）". In fact, every step of the way, as Democratic leaders have tried to introduce work-fami

53、ly balance measures into the laxv, business groups have been strongly opposed. As Yale law professor Anne Alcott argues, justifying parental support depends on defining the Family as a social good that, ill some sense, society must pay for. In her book No Exit: What Parents Owe Their Children and Wh

54、at Society Owes Parents, she argues that parents are burdened in many ways in their lives: there is '"no exit" when it comes to children. “Society expects - and needs -parents to provide their children with continuity of care, meaning the intensive, intimate care that hum art beings ne

55、ed to develop their intellectual, emotional and moral capabilities, And society expects- and needs - parents to persist in their roles for 18 years, or longer if needed. "While most parents do this out of love, there are public punishments for not providing care. What parents do, in other words

56、, is of deep concern to the state, for the obvious reason that caring for children is not only morally urgent but essential for the future of society. The state recognizes this in the large body of family laws that govern children's welfare, yet parents receive little help in meeting the life-changing responsibilities society imposes. To classify parenting as a personal choice for which there is no collective responsibility is not merely to ignore the social benefits of good parenting; really, it is to steal those benefits because they accrue（不断积累） to the whole of society as today's
