Ⅱ.完形填空/Close(20分) For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation.To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words.In( 16 )a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend( 17 )can mean the difference between success and failure.Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are( 18 )readers.Most of us develop poor reading( 19 )at an early age, and never get over them.The main deficiency( 20 )in the actual stuff of language itself-words.Taken individually, words have( 21 )meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs.( 22 ), however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words.He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to( 23 )words or passages.Regression, the tendency to look back over( 24 )you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading.Another habit which( 25 )down the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding each word either orally or mentally as( 26 )reads. To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an( 27 ), which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed.The bar is set at a slightly faster rate( 28 )the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch" him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast,( 29 )word by word reading, regression and subvocalization practically impossible.At first( 30 )is sacrificed for speed.But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster,( 31 )your comprehension will improve.Many people have found( 32 )reading skill drastically improved after some training.( 33 )Charlie Au, a business manager, for instance.His reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute( 34 )the training;now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute.He is delighted that how he can( 35 )a lot more reading material in a short period of time. 16.A.applying B.doing C.offering D.getting 17.A.quickly B.easily C.roughly D.decidedly 18.A.good B.curious C.poor D.urgent 19.A.training B.habits C.situations D.custom 20.A.lies B.combines C.touches D.involves 21.A.some B.a lot C.little D.dull 22.A.Fortunately B.In fact C.Logically D.Unfortunately 23.A.reuse B.reread C.rewrite D.recite 24.A.what B.which C.that D.if 25.A.scales B.cuts C.slows D.measures 26.A.some one B.one C.he D.reader 27.A.accelerator B.actor C.amplifier D.observer 28.A.then B.as C.beyond D.than 29.A.enabling B.leading C.making D.indicating 30.A.meaning B.comprehension C.gist D.regression 31.A.but B.nor C.or D.for 32.A.our B.your C.their D.other 33.A.Look at B.Take C.Make D.Consider 34.A.for B.in C.after D.before 35.A.master B.go over C.present D.get through Ⅲ.阅读理解/Reading comprehension(40分) A All her life, my mother wanted busy children.It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy. You could turn your back for a moment in my mother's house, leave a half written letter on the dining table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had "put it back where it belonged," as she explained.My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother's house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink.When she returned, she found the packet had been removed.Confused(疑惑的), she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared.Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks so as not to make water rings on the end tables.Now she knows better. These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family.We were all inclined to (有……的倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find the every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly."Do you remember what I was doing?" was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered. Now my sister has developed a secondhand love of clean windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet.I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week. 36.Which of the following is TRUE about my mother? A.She enjoyed removing others' drinks. B.She became more and more forgetful. C.She preferred to do everything by herself. D.She wanted to keep her house in good order. 37.My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother's house because________. A.she had already finished them B.my mother had taken them away C.she forgot where she had left them D.someone in my family was holding them 38.The underlined part in the fourth paragraph suggests that my sister_______. A.is happy to clean windows B.loves to clean used windows C.is fond of cleaning used windows D.likes to clean windows as my mother did 39.This passage mainly tells us that_____. A.my mother often made us confused B.my family members had a poor memory C.my mother helped us to form a good habit D.my wife was surprised when she visited my mother B When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power.But what are these really, and how do they operate? Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things.If this is even possible, it is short term, and tends to backfire.If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long term.They will also experience fear. Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best.If they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively.Fear has no place in leadership. The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion.We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the workday;or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation(积极性).Today's workplace is all about relationships as a human being as well as a worker.Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like.Leaders understand the way things work.They know the paycheck is not the single most motivating factor (因素) in the work life of most people. The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence-knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others.Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills. 40.An employee may have a feeling of fear in the workplace when_____. A.he is forced to do things B.be cannot work at his best C.he feels his brain shut down D.he thinks his work is too heavy 41.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.People tend to associate leadership with fear. B.Working conditions affect people's physical health. C.Good relationship is the key to business success. D.Smart people are more functional in the workplace. 42.To positively influence employees a leader should first of all. A.provide better suggestions B.develop his own personality C.give his employees a pay raise D.hide his own emotion of fear 43.Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader's ability to. A.provide a variety of projects for employees B.help raise employees' living standards C.give employees specific instructions D.deal wisely with employees' emotions Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar(美洲狮)saw Jeb and his son, Tom, before they saw it.Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar.It worked.The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too. Jeb took off his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross.Now the cougar's enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb. "Tom, No!" shouted his father. But Tom broke and ran and that's the last thing you do with a cougar.The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock.They hit each other in mid air and both fell.The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists.As the cougar's claws got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard.The animal howled(吼叫)and put its head back.Jeb followed up with his other fist.Then out of the corner of his eye, Jeb saw Tom.The boy was running back to help his father. "Knife, Tom," shouted Jeb. The boy ran to his father's bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar's attention away from Tom.Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb.The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall.Jeb was making out of his arms.Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar's back.It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains. 44.Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar? A.To get ready to fight . B.To frighten it away. C.To protect the boy. D.To cool down. 45.What do we know about cougars? A.They are afraid of noises. B.They hesitate before they hit.

Ⅴ.书面表达 What an interesting picture! A Western young man, sitting at a table, is ready to eat a bowl of noodles.He is holding two forks the same way as we Chinese hold chopsticks.He is trying so hard to pick up the noodles that he is sweating a lot.At first glance, I think it's a bit funny, for we Chinese take it for granted that chopsticks are the tools for eating noodles.The man in the picture is trying to copy us.Obviously he is doing it with great trouble.Maybe using one fork will do a better job.In my opinion, we don't need to copy others ways of thinking.Sometimes a simpler way of doing things may be a better one.
