单选题Questions 51-55 are based on the following passage. Taking a peep at what's going on in your head CARL Filer, 18, a star salesman at a B pathology and personality disorders. Increasingly, tests are being used to try to detect promising young graduates who may, later in life, fly off the rails (go crazy); or to stop psychopaths (having mental disorder) getting recruited. In the future, interviewees could even be given a mouth swab to reveal the genetic and biological markers of personality. "We are heading for the era of genetic screening," warns Carolyn Jones, of the Institute for Employment Rights. "I think these tests are very flawed". And there are other problems with the tests. For starters, it is possible to fake it--even the test producers agree on this. But they have made it as hard as possible. For example, look at whether you agree or disagree with the following two statements: New ideas come easily to me and "I find generating new concepts difficult". How long did it take you to realize they both could mean the same thing? The golden rule is then, that a psychometric test should never be used as the sole basis of selection, but should always be followed by interviews.

单选题{{B}}Section B{{/B}} Directions: In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions. Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage. Scientists say there has been a severe decrease in the amount of water in Lake Chad in northern Africa in the last thirty years. They reported that nature and humans share equal blame for this loss. In 1963, the fresh-water lake covered 25,000 square kilometers. Now the lake is only about five percent of that size. It measures only about 1,300 square kilometers in the dry season. Four nations surround Lake Chad. People in Niger, Nigeria, Chad, and Cameroon use it for water, fish and plant life. Michael Coe and Jonathan Foley, water experts at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, reported on Lake Chad in a science journal. They say the area has suffered from a lack of heavy rain for more than thirty years. This has forced people to build systems to carry water to dry land. These irrigation systems further decrease the amount of lake water. Mr. Coe says Lake Chad will be only a small body of water in the future. He says people still can get water from the lake to drink and for crops. But he says the lake will no longer provide a healthy environment for fish and plant life. The researchers used a computer to study what caused the water loss. Their computer study estimated the climate and amount of water in the area. The estimate started with written records from the early 1960s. Then the researchers compared the estimates with the area's recorded climate and water supply for the same period. The computer study showed results similar to the recorded ones for the first twenty years. But there was a big change in the 1980s. At the time, the lake got smaller much faster than the computer research had estimated. The researchers say that major irrigation systems were built in the 1980s. The systems took water from two rivers that flow into Lake Chad. The Chari and Logone rivers carry most of the water that enters the lake. Climate changes also were responsible for the reduction. The flow of the two rivers was reduced by almost seventy-five percent. Scientists say the problem is expected to worsen in the coming years as the population and demand for water continued to increase.
