二、阅读理解（共 3 道试题，共 60 分。）V 1.      Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do, especially in a tight job market. Bob Crossley, a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come cross his desk every day. “It’s amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves,” he says.
      “Resumes arrive with stains. Some candidates don't bother to spell the company’s name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate,” Crossley concludes. “If they cannot take care of these details, why should we trust them with a job?”
    Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. “To keep from losing the forest for the trees,” says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, “we must constantly ask ourselves how the details we're working on fit into the larger picture. If they don't, we should drop them and move to something else.”
    Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. "The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time,” says Garfield. “But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary.” Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.
    Too often we believe what accounts for others’ success is some special secret or a lucky break. But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow.

1). According to the passage, some job applicants were rejected ___
A. because of their carelessness as shown in their failure to present a clean copy of a resume

D. are capable of achieving perfect results in whatever they do
      满分：4  分
3). Which of the following is the author's advice to the reader?
A. Although too much attention to details may be costly, they should not be overlooked.

A. Don't Be a Perfectionist
B. Importance of Adjustments
C. Details and Major Objectives
D. Hard Work Plus Good Luck
      满分：4  分
2.      Though it is mere 1 to 3 percent of the population, the upper class possesses at  least 25 percent of the nation's wealth. This class has two segments: upper-upper and lower-upper. Basically, the upper-upper class is the “old rich”—families that have been wealthy for several generations and aristocracy of birth and wealth. Their names are in the Social Register, a listing of acceptable members of  high society. A few are known across the nation, such as the Rockfellers, Roosevelts, and Vanderbilts. Most are not visible to the general public. They live in grand seclusion(深居简出)，drawing their income from the investment of their inherited wealth. In contrast, the lower upper class is the “new rich”. Although they may be wealthier than some of the old rich, the new rich have hustled(急于做) to make their money like everybody else beneath their class. Thus their prestige is generally lower than that of the old rich, who have not found it necessary to lift a finger to make their money, and who tend to look down upon the new rich.?
    However its wealth is acquired, the upper class is very, very rich. They have enough money and leisure time to cultivate an interest in the arts and to collect rare books, painting, and sculpture. They generally live in exclusive areas, belong to exclusive social clubs, communicate with each other, and marry their own kind—all of which keeps them so distant from the masses that they have been called the out-of-sight class. More than any other class, they tend to be conscious of being members of a class. They also command an enormous amount of power and influence here and abroad, as they hold many top government positions, run the Council on Foreign Relations, and control multinational corporations. Their actions affect the lives of millions.

1). All the following statements are true except that ______.
A. the upper-upper class is of aristocratic origins.
B. the “old rich” enjoy higher prestige than the “new rich”.
C. the “old rich” isolate themselves and lead a lonely life.
D. the upper class owns at least a quarter of the country's wealth.
      满分：4  分
2). The “old rich” get richer ______.
A. through the Social Register.
B. through their reputation
C. by investing their inherited wealth
D. by collecting paintings and sculptures
      满分：4  分
3). The reason why the “old rich” look down upon the “new rich” is that ______.
A. the former are wealthier than the latter.
B. the latter sweat themselves to make money.
C. the “new rich” have no interest in arts.
D. the “old rich” are conscious of being members of the upper class.
      满分：4  分
4). To a certain extent the new rich are similar to the lower and middle classes in that ______.
A. they engaged in activities to make their money energetically
B. they live in exclusive areas
C. they tend to be conscious of being a member of a class
D. they do not draw their income from investment
      满分：4  分
5). We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. the upper class is powerful and influential
B. the upper class collects rare books to make money
C. the upper class holds all top government positions
D. the “old rich” makes much more money than the “new rich.”
      满分：4  分
3.      Nuclear power’s danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.
    Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses. It can’t be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can’t detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can’t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
    At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest level of radiation can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in a deformed way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
    This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or liable to serious illness as result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
    Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.

1). According to the author, the danger of nuclear power lies in ________.
A. nuclear mystery
B. radiation detection
C. nuclear radiation
D. radiation level
      满分：4  分
2). Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Radiation can cause serious consequences at high levels.
B. Radiation may not cause serious problems when only a few cells are hit and if they are killed outright.

D. Radiation can be safe at the lowest level.
      满分：4  分
3). The word “significant” in paragraph 3 has the similar meaning with ________.

A. affect the healthy growth of our offspring
B. damage cells which may grow into cancer years later

      满分：4  分
