Directions:
Read the following passages carefully
and choose the best answer from the four choices
marked A,
B, C and D.
Passage 1
For most mere
mortals (
凡人
)
，
publishing 466 books would be impossible
even in dozens of lifetimes. But
the
remarkable Isaac Asimov had produced such an
output during his 41-year book career and showed
no signs
of slowing down even at his
old age.
Many of Asimov’s science and
science fiction works deal with space
travel
--- such as his well-known
Foundation Trilogy
(
三部曲
) --- yet despite this,
Asimov would be perfectly happy never leaving his
Manhattan
apartment, where he lived
with his wife,
psychiatrist(
精神病医生
) ---
author Janet Jeppson. “I travel in my
writing
to the
far
ends
of
space,”
he would
say, “so I
don’t
have
to travel in
real life.” Even if
invited,
he wouldn’t want to go.
But he happily supported the space
movement, serving on the NSS Board of Governors
(
理事会
).
Asimov, a
workaholic who said he wanted to end his days
“face down on my typewriter,” spent eight hours
a day, seven days a week typing.
The
Russian-
born
son
of
American
immigrants,
Asimov
(1920―1992)
began
writing
science
fiction
at
age
11.
His first story appeared
in print when he was 18. As he continued writing,
he completed college, earning a .
in
chemistry.
Known
mainly
as
a
science
fiction
writer,
Asimov
was
also
an
essayist,
editor,
journalist,
biographer
(
传
记作家
)
and humorist. Over the years, he'd owned dozens of
awards, including the title Grandmaster of Science
Fiction.

Strange.

隐士
). B. He was
a family man.
C. He hated social
life.
D. He didn’t care about
his family.

workaholic.
B. Imagination plays
an important role in creative writing.
C. Passion and hard work lead to
success. D. It is important to publish at a
young age.
Passage 2
Is your job doing harm to your health?
If you are like a lot of American workers today,
you experience
a
significant
amount
of
stress
in
work.
Stress
doesn't
just
make
you
unhappy
at
work.
It
can
affect
your
health.
Doctors say people under stress have
higher blood pressure, even when they are away
from work. And they are
at a higher
risk for death from any cause than those who are
more relaxed.
How do you know if your
job could be a risk to your health? Some danger
signs include difficulty getting
to
sleep
or
difficulty
waking
up
in
the
morning,
forgetfulness,
aches
and
pains
for
no
apparent
reason,
a
desire
to eat less or tendency to eat poorly,
loss of interest in activities, etc. Everyone has
bad days in which
they feel many of
these symptoms, but if you have noticed several of
them, and you have experienced them for
months, you may need to do something.
If you notice these signs in yourself
or your beloved one, check with your doctor to
eliminate other
possibilities. If the
cause does appear to be stress, you should try to
make time for yourself away from work.
Try relaxing in a warm bubble bath,
listening to music, and shutting out the world for
a while.

____________.
A
A. many American workers are under
stress lately B. almost all people know how

you unhappy at work. B. It always affects
your health.

all the time. D. It keeps you from working
well.
