22、   In 1972, Richard Sears, a young American from the state of Tennessee, began learning Chinese because of his fascination with traditional Chinese culture.

“Chinese characters are the only ancient script now still in use in the world and it’s a miracle of human history,” said Sears in fluent Chinese.

As a primitive form of Chinese characters and the oldest fully developed characters in China, Jiaguwen, or oracle bone inscriptions, were first discovered in 1899 and aimed for their inscriptions on tortoise shells and animal bones.

Drawn to the ancient language, Sears often went back and forth between China and the US. In 1994, he made a decision to make the ancient Chinese characters available online. Taking advantage of his professional skill，Sears started programming and building a database of oracle bone inscriptions on his own. It took him seven years just to scan the characters in Chinese ancient books. In 2002, the Jiaguwen enthusiast’s website was launched, though with only a few page views per day in the beginning. However, it surged to 600,000 per day in 2011 after a blogger recommended the site on Chinese social media platform Weibo. “I became a web celebrity overnight and was given a nickname ‘Uncle Hanzi’,” Sears said with a smile. Hanzi means Chinese characters.

During the past 26 years, he has accumulated a great deal of information on his website-more than 96,000 ancient Chinese character forms from archeological sources. Up till now, the web site has been continuously updated, giving lovers of the ancient language from all over the world free access to browse at their leisure. In order to reveal the mystery behind the ancient characters, he spent a great deal of money and time buying and going through dozens of books, living on a shoestring.

Since last year, Sears has been working with a Chinese technology company on a smartphone application for children to learn about how the characters evolved. The app is expected to be launched next year.

【1】Which of the following is true of oracle bone inscriptions?

A.They used to spread to other countries in Europe.

B.It is over 100 years since they were first discovered.

C.They are the only ancient language still in use today.

C.He developed a smartphone app for adults. D.He has made a fortune from the website.

【3】What happened to Sears’s website in 2011?

A.It was attacked by hackers. B.It declined gradually.

C.It boomed suddenly. D.It suffered a big loss.

【4】What kind of life is Richard Sears leading now?

A.He is now leading a wealthy life. B.He is now leading a lonely life.

23、Studies have shown that employees who view their work as a calling tend to do better on subjective measures, such as work and life satisfaction, than those for whom a job is mainly a means to a paycheck. New research finds gains in objective aspects too.

The researchers began by analyzing data from the Wisconsin Study, which collected information on thousands of high school graduates over many years. Those who described their work as a calling in 2004 earned more than others that year, and the pattern held when participants were surveyed again in 2011.

To test causality (因果关系), the researchers created three videos in which Sam spoke of his work as being a calling or a job or indicated no particular orientation (目标). Participants were asked to watch one of the videos before telling what bonus and raise Sam should receive and whether he should be promoted. Those who observed the calling-oriented Sam were far more likely to award a larger bonus. They gave him higher rises than to the job-oriented or the neutral (中立的) Sam, and they were more likely to recommend him for promotion.

Analysis showed that the high rewards resulted from assumptions that the Sam who saw his job as a calling was a better performer and was more committed to the organization — even though the videos described the same level of performance and showed no information about commitment.

“Calling-oriented employees are more likely to achieve career success, not necessarily because they show better job performance, but because they are expected by managers to have better performance and stronger commitment,” the researchers write. “Managers might expect calling-oriented employees to remain positive in the face of difficulties and might be more willing to accept their suggestions than those made by employees who are not calling-oriented, even when their suggestions contain similar parts.”

【1】A calling-oriented employee is one who ________.

A．works to make a living

B．considers work as his duty

C．has no clear aim for work

D．finds happiness only in work

【2】What can we learn from paragraphs 2 and 3?

A．Participants were all high school students.

B．Three videos were shown to each participant.

C．More than one method was used in the research.

D．A survey was done every year from 2004 to 2011.

【3】Who is Sam according to the text?

A．A participant of the research.

B．A real person applying for a job.

C．A researcher analyzing data.

D．A created employee for the research.

【4】Why is a calling-oriented person more likely to be promoted?

A．He is more committed.

B．He gives a better performance.

C．He is assumed to be better.

D．He easily accepts suggestions.

24、Some people are pessimistic (悲观) when they think about the future. They say that, a hundred years from now, we will have used up most of the earth’s resources. We will have polluted our sea badly, and be unable to eat fish from it. We will have made air so dirty that we will need to wear masks. The world’s pollution will have doubled, and we will have used all the countryside for housing; there will be no farmland left.

Other people believe that man adapts very easily. They have a different idea of the future. However, in their views, will people be living in a hundred years’ time?

One architect believes that man will move off the land. He suggests that the city of the future will be a huge, pyramid­shaped building, which will be floating on the surface of the sea. About 5,000 families will be living there, and the building will contain shops and schools as well as homes. By living on the sea, we will give the farmers more land to grow crops.

As for oil, people will no longer need it: we will be heating our homes with power from the sun. And we will not be short of minerals, because there are plenty under our oceans. At the moment, we do not have the technology to get them out. But, in a hundred years’ time, the optimists (乐观者) say, the new sea cities will be using these resources.

What will be in the shops in the year 3000? What will people be wearing? How will people be traveling?

Scientists who make predictions about the future suggest that, by the year 3000, shops will no longer exist. Computers will have replaced them; and people will order goods from home.

People will be wearing very light, thin clothes. By this time, scientists will have invented a fabric that keeps us cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather.

As for travel, the experts say that most people will be using public transport. Electric cars will be traveling through the streets day and night. Anybody will be able to stop one and use it.

An interesting picture! Unfortunately, we will not be there if these predictions come true.

【1】Pessimists believe that in the future ________.
