我于2016年10月10日左右进行的毕马威笔试。在这之前，我通过朋友处购买了毕马威、德勤和普华的笔试题库（他也是收集的），在测评中，我发现确实原题出得很多，占了大概1/3~1/2，且阅读材料完全相同。笔者根据朋友给的题库（截屏图片）用Word打字以在测评时进行搜索，结果效果很好，现在也拿到了面试通知，就把我做的材料也在此分享给大家（打字太辛苦，就想着收一点点利润罗，不过10块钱而已。。。相信大家还是不会觉得多吧）
这些资料肯定适用于实习和校招（周围的同学也有用这个资料参加测评的），社招不知道是不是还是一样的题。 笔试一共分为英语阅读、数字计算、逻辑推理三个部分。 英语阅读一共12分钟，阅读材料是6个tab（标签），每个标签均有一段信息约200~300词；根据这六个tab一共有约49道小题。这6个tab一般是一个公司的6个方面的信息，如产品信息、董事会成员、市场范围等，做题时需要在这6个tab里随时切换。 需要注意的是，这49个小题一般没有人能做完，对比6级考试，12分钟最多能做10道小题，而此处阅读量更大，题数更多，所以不要因为自己做得不够多而失去信心。我们需要做的不过是比其他人做的题多一些，正确率高一些而已。我附上的资料有我做过的原题，还有3套其他朋友提供的题，均有参考答案。如果大家购买了我所提供的笔试资料，能通过的概率是很高的。 数字计算一共12分钟，同样是6个标签，49道题。每个标签都是一个图表，大家需要依据图表上的内容来进行计算。如果没有足够的信息，有些题是无法被计算出来的。 毕马威16年使用了新的题库CUTE，而非之前的SHL题库，我提供的也是全部基于CUTE题库的资料，所以大家可以放心。而这些题库的题是不常换的，最多只是有的小题中，问的内容稍有区别，阅读材料基本上就在这4套题里。所以可以先抽时间细读这些材料。 注：如果遇到的原题（小题）很多，也不要做得太多，不能超出其他人太多，否则会被标记出来，届时可能会被要求在现场重新测评。 我所提供的原题是经过手打的，不是简单截图，所以大家在做测评时可以打开原题的word，进行关键词查找，如果查到原题，则可以迅速得到答案。如果大家拿到的资料里有红色下划线，请注意，这是英式拼写，word可能无法识别。我把每套题都做成了有答案和没有答案两个版本，大家可以先给自己计时，12分钟能做多少，再参考有答案的那个版本进行检查。
希望大家都能够通过笔试。
有问题可以在下面戳我，我会及时解答。
由于时间有限，我现在还只做好了这么一个部分，之后还会为大家上传逻辑和数字计算部分，还有普华的题库。

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. 　　During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're "hot". That's try. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the noon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: Get up John! You'll be late for work again! The possible explanation to be trouble is that John is at his temperature and energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. 　　You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help. Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up late than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point. 1. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ______.A . he refuses to follow his own energy cycleB . he is not sure when his energy is lowC . he is a lazy personD . he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening正确答案:he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening题目详解:所谓的“懒惰”实际上是因为这个人的能量在夜里已经达到顶峰。如果一个人不愿早起，那就说明他的能量顶峰不在早上。所以he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening是正确答案。2. Which of the following statements may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A . A change in a family member's energy cycle.B . Unawareness of energy cycles.C . Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.D . Familiar monologues.正确答案:Unawareness of energy cycles.题目详解:根据第二段的结尾：当家庭成员了解了彼此的能量周期，就可以避免一些争吵。那么显然很多争吵都是由于彼此之间没有意识到对方的能量周期而造成的。3. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should ______.A . change his energy cycleB . get up earlier than usualC . go to bed earlierD . overcome his laziness正确答案:get up earlier than usual题目详解:根据第三段倒数第二句话：如果一个人想在他的能量低潮期工作更有效率，那么就应该比平常起得早一些。Human migrations (迁移) within recorded history have transformed the entire character of lands and continents and the composition of their racial, ethnic and language groups. The map of Europe, for example, is the product of several major early migrations involving the Germanic peoples, the Slaves, and the Turks. The overseas migration of Europeans during this period totaled about 60 million people. The largest migration in history has been called the Great Atlantic Migration from Europe to North America, the first major wave of which began in the 1840's with mass movements from Ireland and Germany. In the 1880's, a second and larger wave developed from eastern and southern E between 1880 and 1910 some 17 million Europeans entered the United States. The total number of Europeans reaching the United States amounted to 37 million between 1820 and 1980. From 1801 to 1914 about 7. 5 million people moved from Europe to Asiatic Russia, and between World War I and II about 6 million more chose to move there, not counting the vast number of deportees (被遣返回国者) who were forced to go to Siberia's labor camps. Since World War II the largest migrations have involved groups from developing countries moving to the industrialized nations. Some 13 million people moved across borders to become permanent residents of Western Europe from the 1960's through the 1980's, and more than 10 million permanent immigrants were admitted legally to the United States in that same period, with illegal immigration adding several millions more. Slave migrations and mass expulsions (排斥) also have beer part of human history for thousands of years. The largest slave migrations were probably those compelled by European slave traders operating in Africa from the 16th to the 19 perhaps 20 million slaves were taken to the America, though a large number died in terrible conditions of the trip across the Atlantic Ocean. The largest mass expulsions have probably been those imposed by Nazi Germany, which deported 7 to 8 million persons during World War II. The major trend in internal migration during the 20th century has been the movement from rural to urban areas. As a consequence, urban growth since World War II has been very rapid in much of the world, particularly in developing countries. ________________________________________1.

In at least 95 percent of right-handers the speech-language center is in the brain's left hemisphere. Yet only about 15 percent of left-handers are similarly hooked up, with speech controlled by the opposite, or right, hemisphere. According to Jerre Levy, a biopsychologist at the University of Chicago. About 70 percent of left-handers have speech controlled by the left side of the brain, while the remaining 15 percent have their language-control centers in both hemispheres. 　　Broadly speaking, the left side of the brain is thought by some scientists to process linear, logical information, while the right side tends more towards processing emotion and mood. This may be why lefties are at significantly higher risk of schizophrenia, phobias and manic-depression, and in one study were shown to be three times more likely to attempt suicide. 　　Although southpaws make up only ten percent of the population, they account for between 14 and 18 percent of those treated for alcoholism, according to Dr. Wayne P. London of Dartmouth Medical School. They can be more sensitive to a variety of other drugs too. Peter Irwin, a research scientist at Sandoz Institute in East Hanover, N. J, found that, after taking such medications as aspirin, antidepressants, sedatives and antihistamines,lefties had greater changes in electrical activity in the brain than righties did. As if this weren't enough, southpaws appear to be twice as prone to autoimmune diseases, including diabetes, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis and myasthenia gravis. 　　With such liabilities, how have left-handers managed to survive at all? The good news is that there is a very bright side to being a lefty. Camilla Benbow, associate professor of psychiatry at Iowa State University, surveyed students who scored in the top 100th of one percent in math on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. She discovered that fully 20 percent of these math geniuses were left-handed - double the proportion of lefties in the population. Mensa, the high-I. Q. society, estimates that 20 percent of its members are left-handed. 　　Indeed, the ability to integrate what some researchers call the more "logical" left side of the brain and the more "intuitive" or "artistic" right side may have helped lefties excel in many fields. ________________________________________1. What's the meaning of "crossed laterality"?A . The human central nervous system is just like a circuit.B . Right-handers' speech-language center is in brain's left-hemisphere, while left-handers' speech-language center is in brain's right-hemisphere.C . The right hand is controlled by the left side of the brain, and the left hand is controlled by the right side of the brain.D . The development of right and left side of brain is interactive.正确答案:The right hand is controlled by the left side of the brain, and the left hand is controlled by the right side of the brain.题目详解:文中有这样的句子：crossed laterality - that is, the right hand is "wired" to the left side of the brain.破折号后就是对crossed laterality解释，表达方式略有不同。2. Lefties are at higher risk of ______.A . being excitedB . mental diseases and disordersC . speech deficiencyD . homicide正确答案:mental diseases and disorders题目详解:根据文中：This may be why lefties are at significantly higher risk of schizophrenia, phobias and manic-depression, and in one study were shown to be three times more likely to attempt suicide.都是与emotion和mood有关的病症。3. Southpaws can be more sensitive to a variety of drugs means that ______.A . more of them are treated for alcoholismB . they are easier to get addicted to some drugsC . they have greater changes in electrical activity in the brain than rightiesD . drugs are more effective to them正确答案:they have greater changes in electrical activity in the brain than righties题目详解:文中指出：They can be more sensitive to a variety of other drugs.接下来说：lefties had greater changes in electrical activity in the brain than righties did.对其进行了解释。4. Which one is NOT an auto immune disease?A . Diabetes.B . Rheumatoid arthritis.C . Manic-depression.D .Ulcerative colitis.正确答案:Manic-depression.题目详解:文中有句子：southpaws appear to be twice as prone to autoimmune diseases, including diabetes, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis and myasthenia gravis,选项D. manic depression是在前文中提过的。　　Parents who are otherwise exceedingly rational people can become irrational when it comes to their children. These so-called helicopter parents tend to overdramatize small incidents, give heavy weight to light concerns and take too seriously matters that don't warrant second thought. 　　Happily, there are ways to counter the tendency towards over protectiveness. Here are some tips and strategies from family therapist David Anderegg. 　　Don't schedule every free moment of your children's lives for fear they will get into trouble if left to their own devices. Take an attitu Supervise by being there, being awake and paying attention. Be quietly available to your kids, and they will come to you with what's important. 　　Accept your child's emotions, even negative ones. A child who has self-awareness develops more self-confidence and empathy for others and is less likely to bully or become a bully's victim. 　　Don't always rescue them. Jumping in to solve all your children's problems sends the message that you don't believe they can do it themselves. While children who get into arguments with peers may need some guidance in effective communication, what they need even more is their parents' belief that they can sort it out themselves. This arms them with the courage to face challenges. 　　Appear calm in the face of challenges. Demonstrate your faith in your child's ability to cope with new situations by appearing calm in potentially stressful situations such as her first day at school or going away to camp. Children are less anxious if their parents appear relaxed. Children keep a careful eye on adults' body language, too, so it is important to present a confident image both with words and actions. 　　Discuss ways to handle tough situations. Have family discussions about what to do in tricky situations. Listen respectfully to each child's ideas without correcting or interrupting, even if he has some rather bizarre or violent suggestions. (This creates an atmosphere for parents to suggest a gentler approach.) ________________________________________1. "Helicopter parents" means ______.A . parents who are otherwise exceedingly rational people can become irrational when it comes to their childrenB . parents who tend to overdramatize small incidentsC . parents who can't put things in perspectiveD . parents who are too protective正确答案:parents who are otherwise exceedingly rational people can become irrational when it comes to their children题目详解:可以结合上下文和helicopter的特点推断。2. If parents take an attitude of benign neglect, they ______.A . keep a watchful eye on their children but don't interfere in their affairs only when they are neededB . left their children to their own devices if they get into troubleC . are indifferent to their children's troubleD . jump in to solve all their children's problems正确答案:keep a watchful eye on their children but don't interfere in their affairs only when they are needed题目详解:第二段中：Take an attitude of being neglect: Supervise by being there, being awake and paying attention. Be quietly available to your kids, and they will come to you with what's important. 可见是既留心小孩，又不过分保护包办。3. Parents should ______ on their child's first day at school.A . supervise their child all dayB . show their faith that their child can cope with the new situationC . pace up and down the room to ease their nervousnessD . foresee all the problems the child would encounter and arrange all the things for him/her正确答案:show their faith that their child can cope with the new situation题目详解:Demonstrate your faith in your child's ability to cope with new situations by appearing calm in potentially stressful situations such as her first day at school or going away to camp.4. According to the passage, why should parents listen respectfully to each child's idea even if he has some rather bizarre or violent suggestions?A . Because the child should be permitted to explore his own world.B . Because it makes parents gentler approaches more acceptable.C . Because it makes the child creative.D . Because it's acceptable given that he is young.正确答案:Because it makes parents gentler approaches more acceptable.题目详解:文章末尾：Listen respectfully to each child's ideas without correcting or interrupting, even if he has some rather bizarre or violent suggestions. (This creates an atmosphere for parents to suggest a gentler approach.)不要受头脑中已有观点的影响。　Agricultural biotechnology seems to attract a lot of attention these days. The problem is that the debate on this topic seems to have been hijacked by extr environmentalists crying disaster and corporate spokespersons telling us soothingly that there's nothing to worry about. 　　Both extremes are wrong. Certainly global disaster isn't just around the corner. On the other hand, with the introduction of any remarkable new technology, unforeseen consequences are inevitable. 　　One possible consequence is addressed in detail by Charles C. Mann in this issue's cover story, "Biotech Goes Wild". Mann reveals that crops genetically engineered to produce or resist pesticides could interbreed with wild plants, giving rise to "superweeds" that could be very hard to eradicate and might choke food crops. And the fact is that science can't yet tell us whether to be alarmed. 　　Why are we still in ignorance on this important issue? One reason is that the biologists who engineer genes into plants aren't trained to think about the whole orga they're molecular folk, lacking an ecological perspective. 　　Another reason is the patchwork of US regulatory agencies that govern
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Department of Agriculture (USDA). Mann writes that none of these agencies is responsible for superweeds, which could grow between the bureaucratic cracks. The FDA doesn't look at plants engineered to express pesticides, because pesticides are exempt from the agency's reach. The EPA is required to treat such foods as pesticides and simply establish human tolerances for each compound. USDA tries to make sure the crop grows as the producer says it will. 　　There's only one thing omitted the public interest. To stitch it back in two things are needed. One is additional research, from biotech companies and the federal government on the ecological consequences of genetic engineering. The other is a revision of the regulatory framework to make at least one of the agencies responsible for testing the environmental consequences of agribiotech. These changes would acknowledge the growing impact of this remarkable new technology and help us steer a course between wrongheaded extremes. The author thinks that the biologists who engineer genes into plants ______.A . are nothing more than any other substances because they are made of molecule tooB . pay special attention to living things and their relation to their environmentC . insert the genes of one species among the genes of another and test the environment consequencesD . modify the genes of our food crops without considering the influence on the whole organism正确答案:modify the genes of our food crops without considering the influence on the whole organism题目详解:了解作者对biologists的总的看法后再做答。作者的观点是：the biologists who engineer genes into plants aren't trained to think about the whole organism and its habitat.2. The disadvantage of the patchwork of US regulatory agencies that govern agricultural biotech is that ______.A . one thing is omitte human tolerance for pesticidesB . pesticides are exempt from FDA's reachC . there is bureaucratic cracks and the public interest is ignoredD . none of these agencies is responsible for wild plants正确答案:there is bureaucratic cracks and the public interest is ignored题目详解:不能被一些细节的描写所蒙骗。所有细节都指向一个根本性的问题。注意这样概括性的表达：Mann writes that none of these agencies is responsible for superweeds, which could grow between the bureaucratic cracks. 和There's only one thing omitted from this patchwork: the public interest.3. In the last paragraph, the author thinks that ______.A . additional research on the ecological consequences of genetic engineering should put the public interest at the coreB . to acknowledge the growing impact of the genetic engineering is to be ready for global disasterC . it's necessary to establish new agencies to take responsibilities for testing the environmental consequences of agribiotechD . it's necessary to stitch the public interest in wrongheaded extremes正确答案:additional research on the ecological consequences of genetic engineering should put the public interest at the core题目详解:要理解：There's only one thing omitted from this patchwork: the public interest. To stitch it back in two things are needed. One is additional research也就是说在试验研究中要考虑公众利益。4. Which of the following statements is true of "superweeds"?A . Superweeds could eradicate food crops.B . Superweeds could hinder food crops' growth.C . Superweeds could grow between cracks.D . Crops genetically engineered to resist pesticides could make superweeds grow high.正确答案:Superweeds could hinder food crops' growth.题目详解:文中句子：crops genetically engineered to produce or resist pesticides could interbreed with wild plants, giving rise to "superweeds" that could be very hard to eradicate and might choke food crops.是说基因工程抗虫的作物与野草杂种繁殖，产生superweeds, 这种superweeds可能很难斩草除根，并阻碍农作物的生长。"Opinion" is a word that is used carelessly today. It is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment. This casual use would probably cause little confusion if people didn't attach too much importance to opinion. Unfortunately, most to attach great importance to it. "I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours, '' and ''Everyone's entitled to his opinion, '' are common expressions. In fact, anyone who would challenge another's opinion is likely to be branded intolerant. ?? Is that label accurate? Is it intolerant to challenge another's opinion? It depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind. For example, you may ask a friend “what do you think of the new Ford cars?" And he may reply, "In my opinion, they're ugly." In this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. For it's obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference, a matter of taste. And as the old saying goes, ''It's pointless to argue about matters of taste." ?? But consider this very different use of the term. A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has delivered its opinion in a controversial case. Obviously the justices did not shale their personal preferences, their mere likes and dislikes, they stated their considered judgment, painstakingly arrived at after thorough inquiry and deliberation. ?? Most of what is referred to as opinion falls somewhere between these two extremes. It is not an expression of taste. Nor is it careful judgment. Yet it may contain elements of both. It is a view or belief more or less casually arrived at, with or without examining the evidence. ?? Is everyone entitled to his opinion? Of course, this is not only permitted, but also guaranteed. We are free to act on our opinions only so long as, in doing so, we do not harm others. ________________________________________1. Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the author?A . Free expression of opinions often leads to confusion.B . Everyone has a right to hold his own opinion.C . Most people tend to be careless in forming their opinions.D . Casual use of the word "opinion" often brings about quarrels.提交的答案:Everyone has a right to hold his own opinion. 正确答案:Everyone has a right to hold his own opinion.题目详解:根据问题中‘四个选项’的提示，从文章最后一段第2句"Of course, this is not only permitted, but guaranteed"判断出选项中的"Everyone has a right to hold his own opinion."与本句语义相关。2. According to the author, who of the following would be labeled as intolerant?A . Someone who values only their own opinions.B . Someone who turns a deaf ear to others' opinions.C . Someone whose opinion harm other people.D . Someone who can't put up with others' tastes.提交的答案:Someone who can't put up with others' tastes. 正确答案:Someone who can't put up with others' tastes.题目详解:以问题中"would be labeled as intolerant"为信息点，从第2段倒数第2句"it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish"判断出选项中的"Someone who can't put up with others' tastes"与本句含义相关。3. The new Ford cars are cited as an example to show that ________.A . personal tastes are not something to be challengedB . it is foolish to criticize a famous brandC . one should not always agree to others' opinionsD . it is unwise to express one's likes and dislikes in public提交的答案:personal tastes are not something to be challenged 正确答案:personal tastes are not something to be challenged题目详解:根据第2段最后一句"It's pointless to argue about matters of taste"，看出作者以"The new Ford cars"为例要说明的问题。选项中的"personal tastes are not something to be challenged"符合题意。4. Considered judgment is different from personal preference in that ________.A . it is based on careful thoughtB . it is a result of a lot of controversyC . it is stated by judges in the courtD . it reflects public like and dislikes提交的答案:it is based on careful thought 正确答案:it is based on careful thought题目详解:根据第3段最后一句"stated their considered judgment, painstakingly arrived at after thorough inquiry and deliberation"判断出，选项中的"it is based on careful thought"切题。5. As indicated in the passage, being free to act on one's opinion ________.A . means that one can impose his pre6ereaccs on othersB . doesn't mean that one has the right to charge others without evidenceC . doesn't mean that one has the right to do things at willD . means that one can ignore other people's criticism提交的答案:doesn't mean that one has the right to do things at will 正确答案:doesn't mean that one has the right to do things at will题目详解:问题中"being free to act on one's opinion"指的是最后一段的最后一句"only so long as, in doing so, we do not harm others",由此，可以看出选项中的"doesn't mean that one has the right to do things at will"和本句的语义相关。All that we really need to plot out the future of our universe are a few good measurements. This does not mean that we can sit down today and outline the future course of the universe with anything like certainty. There are still too many things we do not know about the way the universe is put together. But we do know exactly what information we need to fill in our knowledge, and we have a pretty good idea of how to go about getting it.Perhaps the best way to think of our present situation is to imagine a train coming into a switchyard. All of the switches are set before the train arrives, so that its path is completely determined. Some switches we can see, others we cannot. There is no ambiguity if we can see the we can say with confidence that some possible futures will not materialize and others will. At the unseen switches, however, there is no such certainty. We know the train will take one of the tracks leading out, but we have no idea which one. The unseen switches are the true decision points in the future, and what happens when we arrive at them determines the entire subsequent course of events.When we think about the future of the universe, we can see our "track"" many billions of years into the future, but after that there are decision points to be dealt with and possible fates to consider. The goal of science is to reduce the ambiguity at the decision points and find the true road that will be followed. ________________________________________1.

The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food, which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiationdamage.Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called "rem". Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem w the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage? A person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and, during the outward the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far. ________________________________________1.

The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama evolved from ritual. The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world, even the seasonal changes, as unpredictable, and they sought through various means, to control these unknown and feared powers ... Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained or unveiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals were abandoned but the stories, persisted and provided material for art and drama.　　Those who believe that drama evolved our of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater because music、dance、masks、and costumes were almost always used. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances, and when the entire community did not participate, a clear division, was usually made between the "acting area" and the "auditorium". In addition, there were performers, and since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders usually assumed that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other people animals or supernatural beings, and mined the desired effect success in hunt or battle "the coming rain" the revival of the Sun Another theory traces the theater's origin from the human interest in storytelling. According to this view tales (about the hunt, war, or other feats) are gradually elaborated at first through the use of impersonation, "action" and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A closelyrelated theory traces theater to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sounds. ________________________________________1.

The exchanges themselves do no trading: they merely provide a place where prospective buyers and sellers can meet and conduct their business.Wall Street, although the best known, is not the only home of exchanges in the United States. There are the cotton exchanges in New Orleans and Chicago, the Mercantile Exchange, which deals in many farm products, in Chicago, and grain exchanges in many of the large cities of the Midwest. Some exchanges, like the Chicago Board of Trade, provide market services for several kinds of products. These trading posts where products may be bought or sold are called commodity exchanges.The security exchanges, on the other hand, are meeting places where stocks and bonds are traded. Like the commodity exchanges, they help serve the economic life of the country. But when their operations get out of hand, they may become very dangerous. In 1929, the security exchanges, or stock market, contributed to a crash -- a sudden, sharp decline in the value of securities. Many
many corporat many workers lost their jobs. The Crash of 1929 has been attributed to many causes, among them wild and unwise speculation by many people and dishonest practices on the part of some businessmen and of some members of the exchanges.Today, however investing through security exchanges and trading on commodity exchanges has been made safer by regulations set up by the exchanges themselves and by regulations of the United States government. In 1922, the government instituted the Commodity Exchange Commission which operates though the Department of A and in 1934, the Securities and Exchange Commission, to protect investors and the public against dishonest practices on the exchanges. ________________________________________1.

"You're supposed to remember something, but you haven't encoded it deeply.'Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don't pay attention to what you did because you're involved in a conversation, you'll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe. "Your memory itself isn't failing you," says Schacter. "Rather, you didn't give your memory system the information it needed."Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. "A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago," says Zelinski, "may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.” Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory relies on just that.Visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness, says Schacter." But be sure the cue is clear and available," he cautions. If you want to remember to take a medication with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table -- don't leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you're there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. "Everyone does this from time to time," says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and you'll likely remember. ________________________________________1. Why does the author think that encoding properly is very important?A . It helps us understand our memory system better.B . It expands our memory capacity considerably.C .

The numerical skills of children develop so early and so inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of mathematical maturity guiding their growth. Not long after learning to walk and talk, they can set the table with impressive accuracy －one plate, one knife, one spoon, .One fork, for each of the five chairs. Soon they are capable of noting that they have placed five knives, spoons and forks on the table and, a bit later that this amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware. Having thus mastered addition, they move on to subtraction. It seems almost reasonable to expect that if a child were secluded on a desert island at birth and retrieved seven years later, he or she could enter a second-grade mathematics class without any serious problems of intellectual adjustment.Of course, the truth is not so simple. This century, the work of cognitive psychologists has illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on which intellectual progress depends. Children were observed as they slowly grasped － or, as the case might be bumped into concepts that adults take for granted, as they refused, for instance, to concede that quantity is unchanged as water pours from a short stout glass into a tall thin one.Psychologists have since demonstrated that young children, asked to count the pencils in a pile, readily report the number of blue or red pencils, but must be coaxed into finding the total. Such studies have suggested that the rudiments of mathematics are mastered gradually, and with effort. They have also suggested that the very concept of abstract numbers－ the idea of a oneness, a twoness, a threeness that applies to any class of objects and is a prerequisite for doing anything more mathematically demanding than setting a table---is itself tar from innate. ________________________________________1.

Today, however, the largest payoffs may go to companies that lead in developing integrated approaches for successful mass production and distribution.　　Producers of the Beta format for video cassette recorders (VCR's), for example, were first to develop the VCR commercially in 1975, but producers of the rival VHS (Video Home System) format proved to be more successful at forming strategic alliances with other producers and distributors to manufacture and market their VCR format. Seeking to maintain exclusive control over VCR distribution. Beta producers were reluctant to form such alliances and eventually lost ground to VHS in the competition for the global VCR market.　　Despite Beta's substantial technological head start and the fact that VHS was neither technically better nor cheaper than Beta, developers of VHS quickly turned a slight early lead in sales into a dominant position. Strategic alignments with producers of prerecorded tapes reinforced the VHS advantage. The perception among consumers that prerecorded tapes were more available in VHS format further expanded VHS's share of the market. By the end of the 1980's, Beta was no longer in production. ________________________________________1. The passage is primarily concerned with which of the following?A . Tracing the impact of a new technology by narrating a sequence of events.B . Illustrating a business strategy by means of a case history.C . Evaluating two competing technologies.D . Reinterpreting an event from contemporary business history.正确答案:Illustrating a business strategy by means of a case history.题目详解:Evaluating two competing technologies.评价两种竞争技术，原文没有相应的文字支持。Tracing the impact of a new technology by narrating a sequence of events.追溯一新技术影响，讲述一系列事件，原文没有相应的文字支持。Reinterpreting an event from contemporary business history重解释一事件，原文没有相应的文字支持。Illustrating a business strategy by means of a case history正确，举一历史例证来描述一商业策略。该策略即为第一段最后一句：发展大规模生产销售联合战略。例证为二、三段叙述。2. According to the passage, today's successful firms, unlike successful firms in the past, may earn the greatest profits by ______.A . emphasizing the development of methods for the mass production and distribution of a new technologyB . adapting rapidly to a technological standard previously set by a competing firmC . being the first to market a competing technologyD . investing in research to produce cheaper versions of existing technology正确答案:emphasizing the development of methods for the mass production and distribution of a new technology题目详解:如今成功企业和过去成功企业不同，主要靠什么得到最大盈利？这是第一段最后作者结论中明确回答的全文中心。所以emphasizing the development of methods for the mass production and distribution of a new technology正确，强调发展大规模生产，销售的新技术。其他不符合原文结论。3. According to the passage, consumers began to develop a preference for VCR's in the VHS format because they believed which of the following?A . VCR's in the VHS format were technically better than competing-format VCR's.B . VHS prerecorded videotapes were more available than Beta-format tapes.C . VHS was the first standard format for VCR's.D . VCR's in the VHS format were less expensive than competing-format VCR's.正确答案:VHS prerecorded videotapes were more available than Beta-format tapes.题目详解:消费者一开始偏好VHS型号的录像机是因为他们相信：VCR's in the VHS format were technically better than competing-format VCR's技术更好。原文第三段第一句技术，价格都没有优势。VHS was the first standard format for VCR's是最初的录像机型号。最初是Beta型号。VHS prerecorded videotapes were more available than Beta-format tapes正确，其预录磁带比其他型号易得。见第二段倒数第二句。4. The author implies that one way that VHS producers won control over the VCR market was by ______.A . carefully restricting access to VCR technologyB . giving up a slight early lead in VCR sales in order to improve long-term prospectsC . sharing control of the marketing of VHS-format VCR'sD . retaining a strict monopoly on the production of prerecorded videotapes正确答案:sharing control of the marketing of VHS-format VCR's题目详解:作者指出VHS生产者控制录像机生产的途径是：carefully restricting access to VCR technology严格遵守技术。giving up a slight early lead in VCR sales in order to improve long-term prospects放弃早期微弱领先以获得长期效益。retaining a strict monopoly on the production of prerecorded videotapes保持预录磁带的严格垄断。此三点原文均未提。sharing control of the marketing of VHS-format VCR's与其他生产者分享对VHS型号的市场控制。即原文第二段第一句联合其他生产者和销售商。5. Which of the following best describes the relation of the first paragraph to the passage as a whole?A . It poses a question to be answered.B . It advances an argument to be disputed.C . It makes a general observation to be exemplified.D . It outlines a process to be analyzed.正确答案:It makes a general observation to be exemplified.题目详解:第一段和全文的关系：从结构出发：第一段指出观点，后面举了录像机生产的例子。所以It makes a general observation to be exemplified正确，提供一有待举例的概括观察。Jean Sibelius felt very much alone because he couldn't accept the music of that day. He believed that one should be able to make for oneself an ideal by reflection, and thought that modern music did not progress because it marked time without moving a step farther.When he began work on his fifth Symphony, Europe and his beloved Finland were being ravaged by World War I. He wrote in September of 1914. "But I already begin to see dimly the mountain that I shall certainly ascend… God opens His door for a moment and His orchestra plays the Fifth Symphony." But from the very first he was full of doubts about this work. He wasn't sure whether or not he should have begun onthe Fifth Symphony. He suffered a good deal for having persevered in composing symphonies at a time when practically all composers had turned to other forms of expression.The Fifth Symphony was competed late in 1915. It was performed on the composer's fiftieth birthday which was declared a national holiday. Sibelius conducted the concert but he was not satisfied with this new work. In October of 1916, he revised the Symphony but a performance two months later still did not satisfy him. ________________________________________1. In the opinion of Sibelius, modern music ______.A . Did not make much progressB . Made much progressC . Was too romanticD . Was somewhat ideal正确答案:Did not make much progress题目详解:依据问题中‘In the opinion of Sibelius, modern music’的提示，从第一段最后一句中‘and thought that modern music did not progress 认为现代音乐并没有发展’提供的信息判断，选项中的"He was not sure whether or not he should begin on the symphony when all other composers had changed forms"含义相关。2.
