周考卷五 Unit 1 ~ Unit 3 (Book 3) 本试卷满分120分；答题时间100分钟。 Ⅰ.阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A It’s often been suggested that the CEOs of the Fortune 500 are of above-average height. Tall people make an average of $789 per inch per year(for every inch above a person of average height)and this has been shown repeatedly in salary survey studies over 50 years in both the U. K. and the U. S. A great number of studies show that when bosses are given resumes(履历)of two employees, there’s about a 70% chance that bosses will pick the taller person for the job. In follow-up studies where the managers were asked to rate(评估)the employees coming in to the job, they gave good opinions to the tall people. All of these show that tall people have advantages over short ones in job-hunting and during work time. 　　One reason tall people are successful is that they are very memorable. It is clear that when a tall person walks in the room, everyone in the room takes a look at him/her, because millions of years ago the biggest person was either going to be a protection or a threat. Being memorable is a major advantage if you’re doing great work, but it’s a double-edged sword(双刃剑): If your work is awful, everyone is going to know it; they won’t forget. 　　Tall people are also very good at protecting their personal space. When two friends are talking they tend to be 18 inches apart, when two coworkers are talking they tend to be about three feet apart. When a boss and an employee are talking they tend to be at least four feet apart. People always give tall people that full four feet. So when they do studies where they put a video camera in an office floor and record the body language, tall people are related to by everyone in the room with that “boss-space”, however with short people, coworkers crowd their personal space. 1. If the average height is 70 inches, a person about 72 inches will make an average of　　　more per year. A. $789 B.
