阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
My newly-rented small apartment was far away from the centre of London and it was becoming essential for me to find a job, so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the underground. They were looking for guards, not drivers. This suited me. I couldn’t drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train, and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov had been doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company. I’d be a subway guard. I could see myself being cheerful, useful, a good man in a crisis（困难危急时期）. Obviously I’d be overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges — those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre.
The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other candidates, for the intelligence test. I must have done all right because after about half an hour’s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test. This time there were only about fifty candidates. The interviewer sat at a desk. Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed, after a greater or shorter time. Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones. Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half.
I can remember the questions now: “Why did you leave your last job?” “Why did you leave your job before that?” “And the one before that?” I can’t recall my answers, except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement, I thought, revealed a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist, he had risen no higher than the underground railway. “You’ve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position.”
Failing to get that job was my low point. Or so I thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually, such jobs — being a postman is another one I still desire — demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give. But I was still far short of full self-understanding. I was also short of cash.
1．The writer applied for the job chiefly because _________.
A．he wanted to work in the centre of London
B．he could no longer afford to live without one
C．he was not interested in any other available job
D．he had received some suitable training
2．The writer thought he was overqualified for the job because _________.
A．he often traveled underground B．he had written many poems
C．he could deal with difficult situations D．he had worked in a company
3．The length of his interview meant that _________.
A．he was not going to be offered the job B．he had not done well in the intelligence test
C．he did not like the interviewer at all D．he had little work experience to talk about
4．What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then?
A．How unpleasant ordinary jobs can be. B．How difficult it is to be a poet.
C．How unsuitable he was for the job. D．How badly he did in the interview.
5．What’s the writer’s opinion of the psychologist?
A. He was very aggressive（有进取心的）. B. He was unhappy with his job.
C. He was quite inefficient. D. He was rather unsympathetic.

6. A考查语境理解。从if you don’t do as I say, I will来推断，大人是在施加压力，所以用pressure。
7. B考查生活常识。自己印象深刻的话语或事情，是不简洁忘掉的，故用never。 8. C考查行文规律。结合上下文可知，此处表示程度的加深及进一步列举事例。 9. A考查固定搭配。Suffer from受苦，受熬煎。

14. B考查生活常识。前半句指走出童年，那么后半句应指步入青少年时期。
15. D考查语境理解。青少年开头反对父母的看法。
16.考查固定搭配。Lack of意为缺乏……。

19. C考查词语辨析。青少年经受大喜或大悲时更能够体现他们感情的猛烈。

阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
Feeling blue about the world ? “Cheer up，” says science writer Matt Ridley.“The world has never been a better place to live in，and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.”
Ridley calls himself a rational optimist—rational，because he's carefully weighed the evidence optimistic，because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good. And this is what he's set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book The Rational Optimist. He views mankind as a grand enterprise that，on the whole，has done little but progress for 100, 000 years.He backs his findings with hard facts gathered through years of research.
Here's how he explains his views.

1)Shopping fuels invention
It is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone.Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty，our own generation has access to more nutritious food，more convenient transport，bigger houses，better cars，and of course，more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us .This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things.The more we specialize and exchange，the better off we'll be.
2) Brilliant advances
One reason we are richer，healthier，taller，cleverer，longer­lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs—food，clothing，fuel and shelter—have grown a lot cheaper.Take one example.In 1800 a candle providing one hour's light cost six hours' work.In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes' work to pay for.In 1950 it was eight seconds.Today it's half second.
3) Let's not kill ourselves for climate change
Mitigating(减轻) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself.A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village，where the use of fassil­fuel(化石燃料) electricity is forbidden by well­meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world，is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change.If climaic change proves to be mild，but cutting carbon causes real pain，we may well find that we have stopped a nose­bleed by putting a tourniquet(止血带) around our necks.
人类的进步是无法阻挡的，是令人乐观。在《理性的乐观主义者》一书中，作者阐述了自己对于生活中的乐观现象，并且对于购物这样一般的日常行为所带来的乐观影响都做了详尽的分析和描述。
1．What is the theme of Ridley's most recent book?
A．Weakness of human nature. B．Concern about climate change.
C．Importance of practical thinking. D．Optimism about human progress.
答案：D。理解推断题。从其次段的前两句话中，反复提到一个关键词“optimistic”以及信息句“because that evidence shows...”；另外，“this is what he's set out to prove...”一句也正好清楚的表明白作者在本书中所以阐述的正是这个话题，正是与选项D的说法是全都的，即：人类的进步总是不行避开的。
2．How does Ridley look at shopping?
A．It encourages the creation of things. B．It results in shortage of goods.
C．It demands more fossil fuels. D．It causes a poverty problem.
答案：A。细节推断题。从“Shopping fuels invention”一段正是反映了Ridley的观点：购物能够激发制造制造。选项A与之相吻合。
3．The candle and lamp example is used to show that ________.
A．oil lamps give off more light than candles
B．shortening working time brings about a happier life
C．advanced technology helps to produce better candles
D．increased production rate leads to lower cost of goods
答案：D。细节推断题。依据Brilliant advances 一段中的“Take one example”一句很明显的确定为：作者拿蜡烛与灯的比较与变化正是为了前面他所提到的看法，故与选项D的说法是全都的。
4．What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A．Cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost.
B．Overreaction to climate change may be dangerous.
C．People's health is closely related to climate change.
D．Careless medical treatment may cause great pain.
答案：B。推理推断题。依据最终一句话中的“cutting carbon causes real pain”可以排解选项A与C的说法，由于它们大相径庭；而依据“putting... around our necks”一句可以表明选项D中“careless”一词运用不当，是不符合语境的。故只有选项B是最正确的。
