It’s miles from anywhere, boiling hot and lacks the more attractive elements that often make a place popular---for example, high-end restaurants, beautiful beaches, great accommodation(膳宿). But Broken Hill’s reputation is growing with its recent National Heritage Listing award. ‎ We asked Broken Hill mayor to tell us what makes Broken Hill so great. These are some reasons he gave us to visit :‎ Perfect light Broken Hill offers breathtaking scenery to discover and explore.

Travel B Once there was a boy who always sat and talked in his math class, and seemed disconnected in group activities. Most teachers would immediately ‎ think of him as a problem student.‎ However, Anna was different. She believed the student was above average in other areas so she created a strategy to find out.‎ Anna didn’t tell the parents. Instead she organized a handful of activities in the class to get more information. In place of calling out for volunteers in class she created a competition for each Friday: Girls vs. Boys.‎ The first week the class was totally enthusiastic. Everyone wanted to win. Even the boy had his hand up the whole time trying to get a turn. Yet, Anna waited, and waited, and waited. Finally the wise teacher paired the boy with the most hardworking girl student in class. Now the two teams had a close score, all the students sat back eager to see the result. As the teacher placed the question on the board, most of the students began to shake their heads: This was a question they had never covered in class.‎ ‎“Go!” the teacher yelled. Both students started doing it slowly thinking of how to solve the difficult question. Their classmates, full of excitement, shouted, “Hurry, hurry, hurry!” The boy finished it just seconds before the girl and raised his arms, “I won!” Almost nobody could believe the student they admired failed until Anna confirmed (确认) the result.‎ This was what Anna tried to get---it turned out that the student wasn’t bad, he was bored.‎ 22. Why did the boy always talk and seem disconnected in group activities?‎ A. He couldn’t behave well in class.‎ B. He couldn’t get along well with his classmates.‎ C. He found nothing in class challenging for him.‎ D. He found the teacher and classmates were boring.‎ ‎26. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?‎ A. The boy’s winning made boys’ team beat girls’ team.‎ B. Anna paired the boy and the most hardworking girl on purpose.‎ C. Anna was sure that the boy could win the competition.‎ D. Students were surprised and annoyed at the girl’s failure.‎ ‎27. It is implied in the passage that _____________. ‎ A. poorly-behaved students are usually problem students B. teachers always play a key role in the development of students C. students tend to behave poorly to gain more attention from others ‎ D. finding hidden abilities is not always easy but the result can be magical ‎28. Which words can be used to describe Anna?‎ A. unique and cheerful B. experienced and devoted ‎ C. creative and wise D. helpful and encouraging C From Mozart to Metallica, tons of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they paint, write or draw. Many people believe that music helps creativity (创造力), but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that opinion.‎ Psychologists from Lancaster University, The University of Gavle, and The University of Central Lancashire say that their findings indicate music harms creativity.‎ To come to their conclusions, researchers had participants (参与者) complete verbal insight problems used to encourage creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music was played in the background. They found that background music greatly harmed the participants’ ability to complete tasks related to verbal creativity.‎ The research team also tested background noises such as those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no effect on ‎ participants’ creativity. ‎ The tasks were simple word games. For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, dial and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word related to all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be ”sun” (sundress, sunflower, etc).‎ Participants completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while listening to three different types of music: unfamiliar music with unfamiliar lyrics(歌词), instrumental music, or music with familiar lyrics.‎ ‎“We found strong evidence of worse performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions,” says co-author Dr. Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University.‎ Dr. McLatchie and his colleagues found that music disturbs the verbal working memory processes of the brain, harming creativity. Also, as to the library background noises having seemingly no effect, they believe it was because library noises create a “steady state” environment that doesn’t affect concentration. Even familiar music with well-known lyrics harmed participants’ creativity, even although it may cause a positive reaction. ‎ ‎“To conclude, the findings here challenge the popular view that music helps creativity, and instead prove that music affects creative performance in insight problem solving whether it contains lyrics, familiar lyrics or unfamiliar lyrics.”‎ 29. It can be learned from the research that ______________. ‎ A. a quiet environment is good for creativity B. library background music has no effect on creativity C. listening to music can encourage creativity D. familiar music helps people concentrate on work 30. How is the research done? ‎ A. By giving examples B. By making comparisons C. By explaining reasons D. By listing numbers ‎31. Which of the following is the best title?‎ A. Music and creativity B. Turn down music C. What music to choose D. Work with music ‎ D You’ve just graduated from business school and you feel like the world is your oyster, only to find that job offers aren’t knocking down your door as expected, making MBAs wonder why they’re not getting hired. This can be disheartening. Many MBA graduates unknowingly show signs that they are not the best fit for the job. Once you know what these common mistakes are, you can put your MBA skills to use and then you may get the job you’ve been looking for.‎ Employers(老板) feel more comfortable hiring MBAs with experience because there is less need for training. Many MBAs mistakenly apply for jobs which need more experience than they have. Employers want graduates who can prove their ability to help their business succeed. Show that you can help the company by providing examples of such experience.‎ MBAs often have great resumes(简历), but then ruin the interview with improper behavior. It’s necessary to behave yourself, dress properly, and not seem cocky, bored, or disinterested in the company. A little enthusiasm(热情) won’t hurt you, so be sure to show your passion for your work.‎ Another mistake you may be making unknowingly is how you show yourself online. Don’t think that employers aren’t interested in your online information. Many employers now use social networking sites and online searches to check up on possible hires. Improper photos and information ‎ are huge red flags to employers. Make sure to remove any photos, content, or links that can work against you in an employer’s eyes.‎ Don’t forget that __________________ when it comes to finding a great MBA job. Earning your MBA was a huge achievement, but there’s always room for improvement. Ask your classmates, family, and even past co-workers or managers for advice. Do mock(模拟) interviews to help reduce any nervousness and gain a better idea of how you’d like to show yourself. With a few small changes to your resume and the way you communicate with others, you’ll be hearing “you’re hired” in no time!‎ 32. What does the underlined part mean?‎ A. You feel unsure about your future.‎ B. Your will face the changing world.‎ C. You can achieve whatever you want.‎ D. You are separated from the world. ‎ ‎33. When hunting for a job, graduates should do the following things EXCEPT _______________. ‎ A. be on their best behavior B. show interest in the company C. provide examples of related experience D. remove all personal information online ‎34. The passage is mainly about ________________.‎ A. what employers want from MBA interviewees B. what difficulty MBA graduates have in getting a job C. how MBA graduates improve their skills D. how MBA graduates are more likely to be hired ‎35. Which of the following can fill in the blank in the last paragraph?‎ A. practice makes perfect B. never judge a book by its cover C. where there is a will, there is a way D. no pain, no gain 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ During a job interview, your body language will have already given people their first impression of you before a word has even been spoken.

Body language shows your serious attitude toward that interview. Then after the introduction you will usually be directed to take a seat. Choose a place form where you can clearly see all the interviewers. ‎ During a job interview, try to keep a posture (姿势) that shows you are interested and relaxed. Sit up straight in your chair. What to do with your hands? _______38________ From these positions it’s also easy to support your words with hand gestures. ‎ Then it is important to look at all the interviewers. When one of them explains something or asks a question, keep looking at this person. _______39________ When answering, you should look first at the person who asked the question and take turns to look at other interviewers as well. ‎ All in all, body language will decide first if it “clicks”, and sometimes all it takes is just a few seconds.
