I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We had cubicle (小间隔) offices and window offices. I sat in the cubicles with several male colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cubicles. Several males who were hired after me also went to offices. One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way.
It would be nice if we all received automatic pay increases equal to our merit, but \"nice\" isn't quality attributed to most organizations. If you feel you deserve a significant raise in pay, you'll probably have to ask for it.
Performance is your best bargaining chip（筹码）when you are seeking a raise. You must be able to
demonstrate that you deserve a raise. Timing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs (a new client or a sizable contract, for example) just before merit pay decisions are being made, you are more likely to get the raise you want.
Use information as a bargaining chip too. Find out what you are worth on the open market. What will someone else pay for your services?
Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared to use communication style to guide the direction of the interaction.
41. According to the passage, before taking a job, a person should ____. A) demonstrate his capability
B) give his boss a good impression C) ask for as much money as he can D) ask for the salary he hopes to get

A) Prejudice against women still exists in some organizations. B) If people want what they deserve, they have to ask for it.

43. We can learn from the passage that _____. A) unfairness exists in salary increases B) most people are overworked and underpaid
C) one should avoid overstating one's performance
D) most organizations give their staff automatic pay raises
44. To get a pay raise, a person should _____. A) advertise himself on the job market.

C) try to get inside information about the organization
D) do something to impress his boss just before merit pay decisions
45. To be successful in negotiations, one must _____. A) meet his boss at the appropriate time
B) arrive at the negotiation table punctually
C) be good at influencing the outcome of the interaction D) be familiar with what the boss likes and dislikes
41. 正确答案：D
本题题干中的 \"before taking a job\"将本题的答案信息圈定在第一段第一句。第一句的含义是：一旦你开始工作，公司机构的约束会影响工资的向上浮动，因此，人们最好在开始工作之前与公司机构协商好工资要求。故选项D是正确答案。选项C是最大的干扰项，其含义是：人们应该尽可能多要工资，这与原文第一句不符，同时也不符合常理。
42. 正确答案： B
本题题干中的 \"Beth's story\"将本题答案信息圈定在第一段结尾处。第一段尾句是 \"Consider Beth's story\"，含义等于 \"Take Beth's story for example\"。考生都知道如果遇到 \"example\"一词，一般只要读其前面一句就可以得出答案，而无需读其后面的内容。在本题中，我们只需读第一段倒数第二句，而无需读第三段。第一段倒数第二句的含义是：谁要求的多，谁得到的就多（会哭的孩子有奶吃），这一点不仅体现在工资提升方面，还体现在其它方面。故选项B是正确答案。
43. 正确答案： A
本题是本文五道题中的第三题，按顺序类推应该在第三段。第三段的含义是：如果我们都能够按能力自然而然地取得相应的工资增长就好了（nice），但是 \"nice\"（这种好的理想状态）并不是大多数公司组织的特点。如果你认为你应该提升工资，你就应该提出相应的要求。从第三段所表述的含义中可以推断出大多
数公司组织不能作到按员工的能力给员工自动晋升工资，其结果是：会哭的孩子有奶吃。故选项A是正确选项。选项B中的 \"most people\"在原文中没有提到。选项C的内容在原文中也未涉及。而选项D的内容与第三段内容恰恰相反。
44. 正确答案： D
本题题干中的 \"to get a pay raise\"将本题的答案信息圈定在本文第四段尾句，因为该句含有 \"to get the pay raise you want\"。该句的含义是：在工资晋升决定做出之前，如果你能给你的老板提供其所需之物（例如：一个新客户或者一个大定单），你就有可能得到工资提升。故选项D是正确选项。
45. 正确答案：C
本题题干中的 \"negotiations\"将本题的答案信息圈定在全文的尾段。尾段只有一句话，阐述人们在进入（提高工资的）谈判协商时所应做好的两个准备(prepared)：其一是准备(prepared)在适宜的时间把筹码摆到桌面上，其二是准备(prepared)使用交流方式来引导（谈判协商的）互动方向。显然，原文中的第二个 \"prepared\"的内容决定了选项C是正确答案。选项A是干扰项，文中并没有提到在适宜的时间见老板，而是在适宜的时间拿出自己的筹码。选项B（按时到达谈判桌）和选项D（熟悉老板的好恶）的内容均未涉及。
46.I don't know the restaurant, but it's _______ to be quite a good one. A.said B.told C.spoken D.talked 47. Being much too fat, Maria was advised to reduce her food for each meal, yet she would _______ that.
A.have none of B.accept C.take care of D.listen to
48. —When will you come to see me, Dad
—I will go to see you when you _______ the training course. A.will have finished B.will finis C.are finishing D.finish
46. 正确答案：A
在这个句子中it作形式主语,to do sth.作真正的主语.it's said的意思是\"据说\".
47. 正确答案：A
have none of置之不理.由于太肥胖,有人劝告Maria每顿饭少吃一些食物,但她置之不理.accept接受;take care of关心;listen to听.
48．正确答案：D
在when引导的时间状语从句中,谓语动词要用一般现在时.
When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions dating back to Grandma's generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday-best.
But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware(粗陶)-and-stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells economic hard times.
Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is eliminating 1,000 jobs-one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4,000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) region. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier.
Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs is Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company \"has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend\" toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in front of television.
Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it's better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a \"real\" dinner party. Too often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish the silver? Who has time?
Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette(礼节) that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents (\"Chew with your mouth closed\". \"Keep your elbows off the table.\") must be picked up elsewhere. Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be competent professionally but clueless socially.
33. The trend toward casual dining has resulted in _____. A) bankruptcy of fine china manufacturers B) shrinking of the pottery industry C) restructuring of large enterprises D) economic recession in Great Britain
34. Which of the following may be the best reason for casual dining? A) Family members need more time to relax.
B) Busy schedules leave people no time for formality. C) People want to practice economy in times of scarcity.
D) Young people won't follow the etiquette of the older generation. 35. It can be learned from the passage that Royal Doulton is _____. A) a retailer of stainless steel tableware B) a dealer in stoneware C) a pottery chain store D) a producer of fine china
36. The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is _____. A) the increased value of the pound B) the economic recession in Asia C) the change in people's way of life
D) the fierce competition at home and abroad
37. Refined table manners, though less popular than before in current social life, _____.
A) are still a must on certain occasions B) are bound to return sooner or later
C) are still being taught by parents at home D) can help improve personal relationships
33. 正确答案： B
本题题干中的 \"casual\"一词将本题答案信息圈定在第二段。由于本题追问的是\"结果\"(result in„)，故将答案线索定位在第二段的第二句和第三句。第二句的内容并未在四个选项中出现。第三句的内容与选项A的内容不符。原文讲瓷器(fine china)度日艰难，但不等于选项A中所表述的\"瓷器生产商破产\"。在这种情况下，考生不得不继续阅读第三段，该段所阐述的内容均与 \"pottery\"（陶瓷业）有关，讲这个行业的大量裁员。在四个选项中只有选项B涉及 \"pottery\"（陶瓷业），故只有选项B是正确答案。
34. 正确答案：B 本题题干的 \"casual dining\"将本题的答案线索圈定在第四段的尾句，因为其前句出现了题干中的信号词 \"casual dining\"。第四段尾句的含义是：由于人们或者是单身、或者是边看电视边吃饭，所以更多的人单独进餐，家庭成员一起吃饭的机会少了。另外，本文第五段第1句继续出现信号词 \"casual\"，并解释原因为\"工作时间漫长和家庭时间安排紧凑，主人忙忙碌碌„„。\"故人们\"随便进餐\"的主要原因是：人们没有时间。显而易见，选项B是正确答案。选项A是干扰项，\"家庭成员需要更多的休闲时光\"没有充分表达原文中的\"人们没有时间\"这一明确含义。
35. 正确答案： D 本题题干中的 \"Royal Doulton\"将本题的答案线索圈定在第三段。从第三段表述的内容推断：Royal Doulton和Wedgwood一样均是陶瓷地区的制造工厂。故只
有选项D是正确选项。选项A中的 \"retailer\"，B中的 \"dealer\"，和 C中的 \"chain store\"，其含义分别是\"零售商\"、\"经营商\"和\"连锁店\"。
36. 正确答案： C
本题题干中的 \"layoffs\"将本题的答案线索圈定在本文第四段第一句。该句中的 \"have roots in„\"等于 \"result mainly from„\"。 \"earthshaking social shifts\"等于 \"profound social changes\"。故选项C是正确答案。
37. 正确答案： A 本题题干中的 \"table manners\"将本题的答案信息圈定在全文尾段的第二句。该句强调：以前在餐桌上学到的礼节细节一定要在其他场合被人们所遵守。考生应当格外注意本句中的 \"must\"一词，它是一个语言信号词。故只有选项A是正确答案，该选项中的 \"must\"是名词，\"on certain occasions\"等于原文中的 \"elsewhere\"。

waste time doing浪费时间干某事;spend time doing花费时间干某事.所提供的情境he'll never join us说明劝说他们参加是浪费时间.你不要浪费时间试图说服他了,他决不会加入到我们这一边.
39. 正确答案：B
speak作及物动词时,后接某种语言,作不及物动词时,意思是\"说,发言,演说\".他在昨天的会议上发了言.speak to sb.对某人说;say是及物动词,\"说得多\"要用say much.
40．正确答案：A
be supplied with 安装.所有的房间都安装了电灯.be given 被给与; be offered提供,但它不和with 连用;be burnt被燃烧. The three main types of secondary education in the United States have been provided by the Latin grammar school,the academy,and the public high school.The first of these was a colonial institution.It began in New
England with the establish ment in 1635 of the Boston Free Latin School.The curriculum(课程) consisted mainly of the classical languages,and the purpose of this kind of school was the preparation of boys for college,where most of them would be fitted for the ministry.
The academy began in the early 1750’s with Benjamin Franklin’s school in Philadelphia,which later became the University of
Pennsylvania.It extended generally to about the middle nineteeth
century,except in the southern states where the public high school was late in developing and where the academy continued to be a principal means of secondary education even after 1900.The academy was open to girls as well as to boys,and it provided a wider curriculum than what the Latin grammar school had furnished.It was designed not only as a preparation for college but also for practical life in commercial and business activities.Although its wide educational values are evident and are recognized as important contributions to secondary education in this country,the academy has never been considered a public institution as the public high school has come to be.
The public high school had its origin in Massachusetts in 1821 when the English Classical School was established in Boston.In 1827,the state enacted(制定)the first state wide public high school law in the United States.By 1840,there were perhaps a dozen public high schools in
Massachusetts and many in other eastern states by 1850,they could also be found in many other states.Just as the curriculum of the academy grew out of that of the Latin grammar school,the curriculum of the public high school developed out of that of the academy.The public high school in the United States is a repudiation(推翻) of the aristocratic(贵族的)and selective principle of the European educational tradition.Since 1890,enrollments(入学)in secondary schools,mainly public high
schools,have practically doubled in this country every ten years.
25.According to the passage,which of the following sequences indicates the order in which the schools developed?
A)Latin grammar school,public high school,academy. B)Latin grammar school,academy,public high school. C)Public high school,Latin grammar school,academy. D)Public high school,academy,Latin grammar school.
26.It is the opinion of the author that the academy,compared with the public high school,was ____. A)obviously academically better

A)enactment of the first statewide public highschool law B)founding of the Latin Grammar School in Boston
C)establishment of the English classical School in Boston D)year when Massachusetts made free public education compulsory after the eighth grade
28.One can probably infer from his article that “Latin grammar school”refers to ____.
A)the Boston Free Latin School
B)all the elementary schools in the United States
C)schools which taught Latin,exclusive of all other subjects
29.It is implied but not stated in the passage that ____. A)European educational systems are not good
B)As high schools developed in the united states,the decision was made to make them responsible to people from all classes of socitety. C)There was an aristocratic and selective principle in the European educaional tradition
