18、 and in many cases, a certain percentage of smaller sizes for children. According to United States requirements, life preservers must design, reversible capable of being quickly adjusted to fit the uninitiated individual, and must be so designed as to support the wearer in the water in an upright or
19、 slightly backward position.Sufficient buoyancy(浮力) to support the wearer should be retained by the life preserver after 48 hours in the water, and it should be reliable even after long period of storage. Thus it should be made of materials resistant to sunlight, gasoline, and oils, and it should be
20、 not easily set on fire. The position in which the life preserver will support a person who jumps or falls into the water is most important, as is its tendency to turn the wearer in the water from a face-down position to an upright or slightly backward position, with his face clear of the water, eve
21、n when the wearer is exhausted or unconscious.The method of adjustment to the body should be simple, and self-evident to uninitiated persons even in the dark under the confused conditions, which follow a disaster. Thus, the life be reversible that it is nearly impossible to get it on wrong. Catches,
22、 straps, and ties should be kept to a minimum. In addition, the life preserver must be adjustable to the wide variety of shapes and sizes of wearers, since this greatly affects the position of floating and the self-righting qualities. A suitable life also be comfortable to wear at all times, in and
23、out of the water, not so heavy as to encourage to take it off on shipboard while the ship is in danger, nor so burdensome that it hinders a person in the water while trying to swim.31. The passage is mainly about_. A) the uses of life preserversB) the design of life preservers C) the materials for l
24、ife preserversD) the buoyancy of life preservers32. According to the passage, a life be first of all _. A) adjustable B) comfortable C) self-evident D) self-righting33.

25、orn on both sides C) according to each wearers sizeD) comfortable and light to wear34. By “the uninitiated individual” (Para. 1, Line. 4) the author refers to the person _. A) who has not been instructed how to use a life preserver B) who has a little experience in using a life preserver C) who uses

27、austed or unconscious.Passage Two When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturers claims, the first step is to present the warranty, or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action wi
28、ll produce results. However, if it does not,there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be se
29、ttled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most ef
30、fective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example,
31、 “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work”. The store manager may advice the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should dot his, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possib
32、le. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights.36. When a consumer finds that his or her in i
33、t, the first thing he or she should do is to _.

How can a consumer make his or her complaint more effe
34、ctive, according to the passage? A) Explain exactly what is wrong with the item. B) Threaten to take the seller to court. C) Make polite and general statements about the problem. D) Avoid having direct contact with the store manager.38. According to the passage, which of the following is suggested a
35、s the last alternative that consumers may turn to? A) Complain to the store manager in person. B) Complain to the manufacturer. C) Write a complaint letter to the manager. D) Turn to the Consumers Rights Protection Organization for help.39. The phrase “live up to” in this context means _. A) meet th

A) how to settle a consumers complaint about a faulty item B) how to make an effective complaint about a faulty item C) how to avoid buying a faulty item D) how to deal with complaints fr
37、om customersPassage Three Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards,from warm praise to old cash, affect motivation and creativity.Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school.Some other researchers who study
38、various aspects of mental life, maintain those rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others. The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary rewards sparks in grade-school children suggestin
39、g that properly presented inducements indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal Personality and Social Psychology. “If they know theyre working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity,” says Robert Esenberger of the Universi
40、ty of Delaware in Newark. “Butits easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards.” A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Esenberger hol
41、ds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore falling grades. In earlier grades, the use of so-called token economics, in which students handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points toward valued rew
42、ards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims.41. Psychologists are divided with regard to their attitudes toward _.

According to the result of the study mentioned in the passage, what should educators do to stimulate motivation and creativity? A) Give rewards for performances which deserve them. B) Always promise rewards. C) Assign tasks whi
45、ch are not very challenging. D) Be more lenient to students when mistakes are made.44. It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their grading standards because they believe _. A) rewarding poor performance may kill the creativity of students B) punishment is
46、more effective than rewarding C) failing uninspired students helps improve their overall academic standards D) discouraging the students anticipation for easy rewards is matter of urgency45.Which of the following facts about “token economics” is not correct?
