    The purpose of communication is to get your message across to others. This is a process that involves both the sender of the message and the receiver. This process leaves room for error, with messages often being misunderstood by one or more of the parties involved. This causes unnecessary confusion.
    In fact, a message is successful only when both the sender and the receiver perceive (感知) it in the same way. By successfully getting your message across, you convey your thoughts and ideas effectively. When not successful, the thoughts and ideas that you convey do not necessarily reflect your own, causing a communication breakdown and creating roadblocks that stand in the way of your goals — both personally and professionally.
    In a recent survey of recruiters (招募者) in companies with more than 50,000 employees, communication skills were cited as the single more important factor in choosing managers. The survey, conducted by the University of Pittsburgh’s Katz Business School, points out that communication skills, including written and oral presentations, as well as an ability to work with others, are the main factors leading to job success.
    In spite of the increasing importance placed on communication skills, many individuals continue to struggle with this, unable to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively — whether in oral or written form. This inability（无能） makes it nearly impossible for them to compete effectively in the workplace, and stands in the way of career progression. Getting your message across is essential to progressing. To do this, you must understand what your message is, what audience you are sending it to, and how it will be perceived. You must also weigh-in the circumstances surrounding your communication, such as situational and cultural context.
    47. The underlined word “This” in the first paragraph refers to ______.
    A. the purpose of communication
    B. the process of getting your message across to others
    C. the process of letting others know your purpose 
    D. the cause of unnecessary confusion
    48. A communication failure occurs when ______.
    A. the sender and the receiver understand the message in the same way
    B. the receiver purposely understands the message wrong
    C. the way you send the message creates problems with the receiver
    D. the sender creates problems in a professional way
    49. _______ make for job success.
    A. Communication skills and ability to cooperate
    B. Communication skills along with written presentations
    C. Written presentations together with ability to work with others
    D. The abilities to cooperate with others
    50. What is the attitude of the writer towards the communication skills?
    A. Neutral.      B. Opponent.     C. Supportive.       D. Indifferent.

    第一节：阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑
    Immediately I got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket, and went out into the streets to try my luck. I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely spot, feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.
    I felt tense and nervous. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the pavement before me, the violin under my chin.
    The first notes I played were loud and raw, then they settled down and began to run more smoothly. To my surprise I was neither caught nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all. Then an old man without stopping secretly threw a penny into my hat, as if getting rid of some guilty evidence.
    Other pennies followed, slowly but steadily, dropped by shadows who appeared not to see or hear me. It seemed too easy, like a secret trick.
    I worked there for several days, gradually getting the truths of the trade by trial and error（反复试验）.It was not a good thing, for example, to let the hat fill up with money; nor was it wise to empty it completely. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a regular rule.
    41．When he first began to play the violin, he expected           .
    A．to get into trouble                                                               B．to play better than he did
    C．people to stop and listen to him             D．to be told to move somewhere else
    42．The first man who gave him money           .
    A．was too busy to stop                            B．wanted to get rid of him               
    C．dropped the money by mistake              D．did not want to attract attention
    43．He gradually became confident that day because           .
    A．nobody looked at him                          B．he played the violin very well       
    C．people continued to give him money      D．he earned a lot of money
    44．On the following days, he           .
    A．made a lot of mistakes                         B．learned how to do the job better    
    C．get better at playing the violin               D．did not make so much money
    45．He found that the best way of encouraging people to give him money was to          .
    A．play in different streets                        B．leave all the money in the hat        
    C．empty the hat at regular times               D．leave a small amount of money in the hat

    Lots of students shop to reduce stress or just to kill time with their friends. Shopping to get rid of boredom or to escape from life’s pressures may lead to serious problems. When you start to shop out of control, you become a shopping addict.
    Shopping addicts show signs that are similar to other addicts. Some students think that shopping, even as little as buying gifts for classmates, can make them feel better and forget their problems. Actually, it can make them feel worse, guilty, or even cause them to run into financial difficulties. Finding yourself in a financial struggle or deep in debt may harm your relationships with friends and parents.
    Do you go shopping for just a few things and come home with your wallet empty? Do you always go shopping after an emotional trauma or when life feels tough（艰难的）? Do you regret later what you buy? Or do you buy things that you never use? Maybe your parents or friends have expressed disagreement that leads you to hide items or lie about prices.
    Avoid any environment that may make you want to spend money. Never use credit cards. Form some other meaningful and beneficial hobbies. Exercise, yoga and hot baths generally may help you not want to shop. Take a drive through the country where there aren’t any stores. Have patience with yourself and your money, which can benefit you for the rest of your life.
    60. According to the passage, shopping addicts ______.
    are always rich people             B. get well along with friends
    C. may suffer financial difficulties      D. all the above
    61. The third paragraph mainly tells about ______.
    ways to get rid of shopping addiction
    the signs of shopping addicts
    the danger of shopping addiction
    why shopping addicts can’t stop shopping

    hurt       B. satisfaction      C. enjoyment    D. appreciation
    63. The intended readers of the passage are ______.
    teachers       B. doctors      C. students     D. education

    A wife’s level of education positively influences both her own and her husband’s chances of having a long life, according to a new Swedish study.
    In the study, researchers from the Swedish Institute for Social Research in Stockholm found that a woman’s level of education had a stronger connection to the likelihood of her husband dying over education. What’s more, they discovered that a husband’s social class, based on his occupation,  had a greater influence on his wife’s longevity（长寿）than her own class.
    “Women traditionally take more responsibility for the home than men do, and, as a consequence, women’s levels of education might be more important for determining lifestyles－for example, in terms of food choices－than those of men,” say Srs. Robert Erikson and Jenny Torssander of the Swedish Institute for Social Research in Stockholm.
    The results show that a husband’s level of education does not influence his longevity, but that men with partners who had quit studying after school were 25 per cent more likely to die early than men living with women hodling university degrees. In turn, those married to women with university degrees were 13 per cent more likely to die early than those whose wives had post-graduate qualifications.
    According to the researchers, a woman with a good education may not marry a man who drinks and smokes too much or who drivers carelessly, and men with such habits may not prefer highly educated woman. Drs. Erikson and Torssander also suggest that better-educated woman may be more aware of what healthy eating and good health care consist of.
    The findings suggest that education has a huge impact on how long and how well people live. It also reflects social factors, since educated individuals usually have better jobs, which allow them to afford healthier diets and lifestyles, as well as better health care.
    68. In this passage the author intends to_______.
    A. encourage women to get higher education
    B. present the results of a study.
    C. analyze the relationship between education and life
    D. discuss why women usually live longer than men
    69. A wife’s education has more effect on a family than a husband’s because______.
    A. women make more sacrifices to their families than men do
    B. most women have higher degrees than their husbands
    C. most men marry women with higher degrees
    D. women have a leading role in the home life of most families
    70. A woman with higher education is likely to_____.
    A. choose a husband with a higher degree than hers.
    B. marry a man without many bad habits
    C. earn more money than her husband
    D. teach her children well
    71. We learn from the passage that_______.
    A. a man with a lot of education live longer than one with little.
    B. a man’s longevity depends on not only his wife’s level of education but also his own.
    C. educated wives tend to choose healthy lifestyles for their families.
    D. highly-educated women don’t marry uneducated men.
