三、阅读理解（共10题，每题2分）

​阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案。​​

 

​Passage 1​

Are there any chronic (长期的) complainers where you work? It seems like every workplace has them—the people for whom the weather is always too warm or too cold, the food is bad, the work is dull, and so on. No matter how good things get, they still only see the bad. They go to huge lengths to point it out to everyone around them.

I'm not saying we should forbid complaining, but workplaces need to do something about the chronic complainers because they tend to make people around them unhappy at work. It's a fact that negative people are highly contagious (传染的) and one chronic complainer can easily get an entire department down.

We try many different strategies to deal with complainers. But most of the strategies we normally use on complainers don't help and often make matters worse. So what does work? Here's a simple but very effective trick.

 

31. Chronic complainers are those who _____.

A. usually express feelings of dissatisfaction

B. tend to see the good side of everything

C. like to talk with anyone about weather

D. often share their feelings about others

 

32. According to the passage, chronic complainers _____.

A. should be forbidden from complaining

B. can negatively affect people around them

C. have good reasons for their complaints

D. need professional psychological help

 

33. The author suggests that most strategies for dealing with complainers _____.

A. are very effective

B. make matters worse

C. should be more strict

D. need to be individualized

 

​Passage 2​

Researchers have found that people who go to museums and art galleries can live longer than those who do not. Experts from University College London have been examining over 6,700 British people for 15 years. They studied how often people went out and what kinds of events they attended.

They found that people over 50 years old who regularly went to concerts or museums were about 30 percent less likely to die over the next 14 years. The researchers said that engaging with the arts over 50s could extend life. In addition to living longer, concertgoers could also have more fun.

UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock believes this research. He said arts and culture could help with things like mental health and aging. The government has announced plans for the UK's National Health Service to help people live a healthier life. One researcher said, "Our results highlight the importance of exploring new social factors that affect our health."

 

34. The research studied people for _____.

A. 5 years

B. 10 years

C. 15 years

35. People over 50 who regularly went to concerts or museums were _____ less likely to die.

C. 40%

D. 50%

 

36. According to the passage, engaging with the arts can help with _____.

A. mental health

B. physical strength

​Passage 3​

Students at university can learn and make friends for life. However, the cost of university keeps rising. This increase means that most students can get into money trouble if they don't know how to manage their money for course fees. Students must also pay for room and board. In addition, they may need to spend money on clothes, travel, and other things.

Thus, students need to learn how to manage their money. Most universities have teachers who can give students suggestions about money. The first thing to do is to write down all the money you receive. For example, list the money you get from your family or from a part-time job. Then list all your expenses. Put your expenses into two groups: those that change (food, books, travel), and those that stay the same (tuition, room and board). Add together all your expenses.

 

37. The main problem for university students mentioned in the passage is _____.

A. academic pressure

B. rising costs

C. lack of friends

D. time management

 

38. According to the passage, the first step in money management is to _____.

A. find a part-time job

B. write down all income

C. reduce unnecessary expenses

D. make a budget plan

 

39. Expenses that stay the same include _____.

A. food and books

B. travel and clothes

C. tuition and room

D. entertainment and travel

 

40. The passage suggests that most universities _____.

A. offer financial support to all students

B. have teachers who can give money advice

C. reduce tuition fees for poor students

D. provide free room and board
