正确答案:B

答案解析:细节题。从第四段我们得知：一些人Some people say we have only got to do the duties revealed in the past ａｎｄ　laid down by religion, ａｎｄ　god will look after the future；另外一些人Others say that the world is a machine ａｎｄ　the course of future events is certain, whatever efforts we may make；马克思主义者Marxists say that the future depends on ourselves, even though we are part of the historical process；因此，应该是三种观点，选B。

2、What is the position of the head of human-resource management in an American firm?（）【阅读理解A】

A.He is one of the most important executives in the firm

B.His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced

C.He is directly under the chief financial executive

D.He has no say in making important decisions in the firm

正确答案:D

答案解析:问在美国公司中人力资源部经理一职地位如何。第2段第4句话指出：“担任人力资源部经理一职者在公司作出重大决策时从未被咨询过，也没有机会升任公司总经理。”D项说，“他在公司作重大决定时没有发言权。”两句意思相符，故D为正确答案。

3、It is possible to find out if a person has adapted to the changes of routine by measuring his body temperature because（）.【阅读理解A】

A.body temperature changes when the cycle of sleep ａｎｄ　wakefulness alternates

B.body temperature changes when he changes to night shift ｏｒback

C.the temperature reverses when the routine is changed

D.people have higher temperatures when they are working efficiently

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题考了一个重要的细节：为什么量体温能看出一个人是否已经适应新的工作时间呢？根据4第段第3句，正常日班工作时工作效率高，体温也稍高。文章接着又说，改变工作安排之后，有一个适应过程，体温变动模式也随着适应程度的变化而变化，效率高时体温也高一些。所以选项D是答案。这一点还可以从这一句最后的particularly in terms of performance中看出。选项A不全面，没有指出体温变化与身体的适应程度大体上一致这一点，也没有指出可以根据其工作好坏判断。同样的道理，选项B和选项C也不对。

4、The main problem of the round-the-clock working system lies in（）.【阅读理解A】

A.the inconveniences brought about to the workers by the introduction of automation

B.the disturbance of the daily life cycle of workers who have to change shifts too frequently

C.the fact that people working at night are often less effective

D.the fact that it is difficult to find a number of good night workers

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题要求考生住第2段的中心大意，正确回答24小时轮班工作的主要问题在哪里。第2段最后一句说，工人“刚刚习惯了某一班次的时间安排，却又要倒班了。这样，他在大部分时间里工作和睡眠效率都不高。”所以关键在于工人的日常生活周期规律被打乱了。选项B是答案，而选项A文章没有提及。选项C不符合文章的原意，文章是说工人在适应新的工作班次之前效率不高，并不只是夜间工作效率不高。文章没有提到D项内容。

5、What field can not our descendants know?（）【阅读理解A】

A.The origin of human beings

B.Some questions that perplex us today

C.Many philosophical problems which Marx ａｎｄ　Engels wrote rather little

D.The future

正确答案:D

答案解析:推断题。由第三段第一句话But if our descendants know the answers to these questions and others that perplex us today, there will still be one field of which they do not know, namely the future. However exact our science; we cannot know it as we know the past. 就算我们的子孙知道了这些问题和那些现在仍困扰我们的问题的答案，那么仍然有一个领域是他们无从了解的，那就是将来。所以，选项D是正确的。
