10、makes belongs to the owner. If the self-employed person is successful in business, he or she has the chance to earn a great deal of money and even become wealthy. The profit earned by a self-employed person is the reward for his or her effort, ability, and creativity. Thus, a second advantage of bei

11、ng self-employed is that a persons intelligence and abilities have a direct effect on his or her earnings. People who have outstanding abilities or intelligence often find they can earn far more through self-employment than they can through working as an employee. A third advantage of being self-emp

12、loyed is that a person can control both the number of hours worked and the hours of work. While not all self-employed people are completely free to choose whatever hours they want to work, most of them have more control over this area than do the people who work for salaries or wages. As with most t

13、hings in life, being self-employed is not without problems. First, being ones own boss places the responsibility for success directly on that individuals shoulders. Abilities and intelligence will be put to the test. Everyone has some weaknesses and is less capable in some things than in others. The

14、se weaknesses will affect how successful a self-employed person is. Second, though the self-employed can earn considerable profits with a successful business, losses can force them out of business and, in some instances, place them in debt. A third disadvantage concerns income security. Self-employe

15、d people have no guaranteed wage. Their earnings can vary greatly from year to year, depending on business conditions. Salaried people, on the other hand, can generally count on continued earnings from year to year. In addition, salaried people often enjoy fringe benefits that mean greater peace of

16、mind. Fringe benefits are all of the benefits provided for employees in addition to wages and salaries. One of these benefits may be insurance paid for by the employer that continues the employees salary in the event of sickness or accident. Many self-employed people do not have such protection, unl

17、ess they put money aside themselves.21.A self-employed person is one .A. who can make a big profitB. who is his or her own bossC. whose business has a better chance to successD. who employs no others but his or her relatives22.One of the advantages self-employment offers is that self-employed people

18、 .A. may decide when and how long they workB. have outstanding abilities and intelligenceC. may get more business support from the governmentD. are easy to earn money and ready to become wealthy23.One problem of self-employment is that .A. there is no guarantee of income securityB. it is comparative

19、ly weak in managementC. an employers earnings have nothing to do with business conditionsD. salaries may vary greatly from person to person24.We may guess from the context that fringe benefits .A. are all the money provided for employeesB. are benefits an employee receives apart from wages and salar

20、iesC. consist of those that are paid by insurance companiesD. result from business activities the employer has organized25.The authors attitude towards self-employment is .A. positive B. negative C. indifferent D. objectivePassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Every living

21、 thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. It tells plants when to form flowers and insects when to leave protective cocoon(茧)and fly away. And it tells animals and human beings when to awaken, sleep, and seek food. It controls our body temperatures, the release of so

22、me hormones(激素)and even dreams.Events outside the plant and animal affect its actions. Scientists recently found that a tiny animal called Siberian hamster changes the color of its fur because of the number of hours of daylight. In shorter days of winter its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray-b

23、rown in longer hours of daylight in summer. Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some internal one seems to order birds to begin their migration flights two times each year. Birds prevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip. But they beco

24、me calm again when the time of the flight has ended. A mix of outside and internal events controls some biological clocks; such things as heartbeat and the daily change from sleep to walking take place because of both external and internal signals.Scientists are beginning to learn which parts of the

25、 brain contain the biological clocks. A researcher at Harvard UniversityDr. Martin Moore Edesaid a small group of cells near the front of the brain seems to control the timing of some of our actions. Probably there are other cells to control other body activities. He is studying how they affect the

26、way we do our work. Most of us have great difficulty if we must often change to different work hours. It can take many days for a human body to accept a major change in work hours. Industrial officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affect workers. He said such

27、an understanding could reduce sickness and accidents at work, and would help increase production.26.Which of the following can not be controlled by biological clocksA. Dreams.B. When and what to eat.C. Body temperature.D. When the flowers should open.27.The author mentions Siberian hamster to illust

28、rate that .A. every living thing has b biological clockB. Siberian hamster is a highly adaptive speciesC. biological clocks can change an animals skin colorD. external factors can affect the behavior of an organism28.From the passage we can infer that .A. biological clocks are responsible for all th

29、e human behaviorsB. biological clocks are too mysterious to be explainedC. heartbeat and some daily activities affect biological clocksD. studies on biological clocks can throw some light on human actions29.Why should industrial officials have a better understanding of biological clocksA. Because so

30、me cells in the brain are very important.B. Because it is very hard to change working time.C. Because it may lead to improvement of work efficiency.D. Because it takes a long time for a person to get used to the shift of work hours.30.The best title for the passage could be .A. A Brief Account of Bi

31、ological ClocksB. Biological Clocks and Work EfficiencyC. How Biological Clocks WorkD. The Location of Biological ClocksPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.“There is no arguing about taste”runs the Latin proverb. But taste did not just happen. Cultural, historical, bio

32、logical and environmental events have interacted to cause frogs, for example, to be viewed as delicious in southern China but to be regarded with revulsion(厌恶)in northern China. Even though much remains unknown, tastes cannot be dismissed as inarguable or illogical; an attempt will be made here to d

33、iscover why, as Lucretius put it,“What is food to one man may be fierce poison to others？”Among the approximately thirty million tribal people of India, a total of 250 animal species are avoided by one group or another. Most of these people will not eat meat from a tiger or any of various snakes. Al

34、though they say they feel a relationship with these animals, it is obvious that both are highly dangerous and that hunting them systematically would be foolish. Monkeys are avoided, probably because they look like human beings in appearance; in these tribes, man-eating is viewed as extremely cruel.

35、A reluctance to eat some female animals has been attributed to respect for the mothers role, but it could also be due to a policy of allowing the females to reproduce and provide more young for people .Many tribes avoid eating any animal that has died of unknown causes, an intelligent attitude in vi

36、ew of the possibility that the animal might have died from a disease that could spread to humans .Animals that consume garbage are similarly avoided, an adaptive step that prevents contact with parasites(寄生虫),and that might explain why members of one tribe eat any of twenty-one different species of

37、rats ,but not the house rat.31.“There is no arguing about taste”, which means .A. people dont like to talk about foodB. ones taste in food is hard to explainC. there is no quarrelling about what to eatD. no arguments about taste have been heard of before32.It can be concluded from the first paragrap

38、h that .A. the author is against eating frogsB. taste is illogical and inarguableC. some types of frogs are poisonousD. taste is influenced by many factors33.The tribal people in India dont eat snakes because .A. they ate very dangerousB. they are respected by IndiansC. they may spread diseaseD. the

39、y help kill rats34.The tribal people in India may not eat the following animals EXCEPT .A. donkeys B. tigers C. female deer D. house rats35.The passage is probably written for the purpose of .A. introducing the eating habit of Indian tribal peopleB. distinguishing different types of tasteC. accounti
