Section B
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Considering how much time people spend in offices, it is important that work spaces be well designed. Well-designed office spaces help create a corporation’s image. They motivate workers, and they make an impression on people who visit and might be potential, or They make businesses work better, and they are a part of the corporate culture we live in.
As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one, office designers have come up with to the traditional work environments of the past. The design industry has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible “strategic management environment.” These solutions are meant to support better organizational performance.
As employee hierarchies（等级制度）have flattened, or decreased, office designers’ response to this change has been to move open-plan areas to more desirable locations within the office and create fewer formal private offices. The need for increased flexibility has also been by changes in workstation design. Offices and work spaces often are not to a given person on a permanent basis. Because of changes to methods of working, new designs allow for expansion or movement of desks, storage, and equipment within the workstation. Another important design goal is communication, which designers have improved by lowering the walls that workstations. Designers have also created informal gathering places, and upgraded employees’to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.
Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing and often demands, including budgetary limits, employee hierarchies, and technological innovation（especially in relation to computerization）. These demands must also be balanced with the need to create interiors（内饰）that in some way enhance, establish, or promote a company’s image and will enable employees to at their best.
All these of office design are related. The most successful office designs are like a good marriage --- the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for each other.

Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can . They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.
First Impression
of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.
at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.
Scientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones — natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either
ready to fight or is to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.
Face Value
Being fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces The participants had 0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way seems to be somewhat automatic.
When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.

(A)
Look to many of history’s cultural symbols, and there you’ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity’s earliest forms of life art during several years of research around the world.
For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular ac-tivity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion’s courtyard.
The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing works called the Winter of Death. The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen—an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflection of people’s imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of defining freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.
If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don’t worry: I’ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the begin-ning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of April, the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds. The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is lit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over—the quicker it is burnt down, the longer summer is said to be.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
B．Come to England． C．Traffic Rules．
A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class．Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published．I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr．Davis．My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused．"Wait a minute," someone might say, "are you talking about Mr．Davis the retired man, or Mr．Davis the respectable scholar?"
The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for a briefcase (公文包） and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, "Hello, class．I'm Mr．Davis．" Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice．Sometimes I would sound experienced．But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr．Davis was there．I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy．
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves．I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper．I saw nine students along a long table．I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required．
"All right then," I said．"Okey, here we go．" Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment．I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day．I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of hands．Every student would yell．"Calm down, you'll all get your turn．One at a time, one at a time!"
A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment． 21．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?
A．He would be aggressive in his first class． B．He was well-prepared for his first class． C．He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class． D．He waited long for the arrival of his first class． 22．What did the students do when the author started his class?
A．They began to talk． C．They raised their hands．
B．They stayed silent． D．They shouted to be heard．
23．The author chose the composition topic probably because______．
A．he got disappointed with his first class B．he had prepared the topic before class
C．he wanted to calm down the students D．he thought it was an easy topic
B
It was once thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and/or heavy automobile traffic．Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is actually worldwide．On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic．In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution．Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil） is creating a “greenhouse effect" ----- holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature．If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water．
Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate (废气排往空中而形成的微粒、颗粒）matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth's temperature ─ a result that would be equally disastrous．A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to new ice age and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas．At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely）．temperature will stay about the same as it is now．
24．As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution ______．
A．caused widespread damage in the countryside B．affected the entire eastern half of the United States C．had damaging effects on health
D．existed merely in urban and industrial areas
25．The underlined word “offset" in Para．2 could best be replaced by______．
A．slip into B．make up for C．set up
D．catch up with
26．It can be inferred from the passage that ______．
A．lowering the world's temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming
areas to disaster
B．raising the world's temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth

The design industry has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible “strategic management environments.” These solutions are meant to support better organizational performance.
