Note the intonation(语调)It means “wonderful”，“great”，“cool”，“splendid”It came into English from United States slang in the 1980s or maybe earlier.Certainly it arrived in Britain in the late 1980s.It was part of a trend which goes back decades to use bad words to mean good concepts，or the other way round.I mean you might remember saying，“Thats great.” meaning “It isnt great.”And always theres been this use of the word “naughty” to mean “nice”So its part of a general trend.Its mainly used as an adjective in front of a noun，for example “We had a wicked time！” Or，of course，you can use it on its own by just saying “Wicked！” as a reactionthats how youngsters use it.And youngsters，of course，knowing that grownups are now using it as well，have decided to use other bad words in the same sort of wayIve heard young people in recent years use words like “evil” meaning “good”，or “brutal” meaning “good”“Wicked” is still around.This means，of course，that the traditional sense of “wicked” is now being squeezed out(挤出)So with “wicked”，tone of voice is the only way to tell the old meaning from the new meaning，and even thats ambiguous(模糊的) sometimes，so you have to be careful，and pay very careful attention to the context.And notice that the word is extending its use.The other day，for the first time，I heard somebody say “wicked cool”，meaning “very cool”1What does the passage mainly tell readers?AThe changing meaning of English words.BThe change of the word “wicked” in meaning.CThe way to use English words.DEnglish words from American slang.答案B解析主旨大意题。本篇文章主要是介绍了wicked这个单词在词义上的变化。选项A的范围扩大了，而选项C、D两项脱离文章主旨。故答案为B项。2The author tells readers to pay attention to the intonation of the word “wicked” because _.Athe word is easy to misunderstandBits intonation decides its meaningCthere is another word with the same pronunciationDthere are many meanings of the word答案B解析细节理解题。由文章第一段和第四段可知，对于该单词所使用的语境和语调不同，其意思就有可能不同。故答案为B项。3According to the passage，which of the following words is often used to express its opposite meaning?ACool. BWonderful. CSplendid. DEvil.答案D解析细节理解题。由文章第三段最后一句可知，现在evil经常被用来表示与其本意对立的意思。故答案为D项。4According to the passage，we know that the word “wicked” _.Ahas been used in Britain for about 30 yearsBis only used in front of a nounChas lost its old meaningsDwas first used by American children答案A解析细节理解题。文章第一段提到wicked这个词最初是从美国俚语里传出的，到达英国是在二十世纪80年代末，所以应该在英国使用大约30年了；文章第三段提到常用于名词前，但是也可以用于应对对方的呼语；而由第五段可知，该词的新旧意思都存在。故答案为A项。.任务型阅读Quiet Virtue：The ConscientiousThe everyday signs of conscientiousness(认真尽责)being punctual，careful in doing work，selfdisciplined，and scrupulous(一丝不苟的)in attending to responsibilitiesare typical characteristics of the model organizational citizen，the people who keep things running as they should.They follow the rules，help out，and are concerned about the people they work with.Its the conscientious worker who helps newcomers or updates people who return after an absence，who gets to work on time and never abuses sick leaves，who always gets things done on deadline.Conscientiousness is a key to success in any field.In studies of job performance，outstanding effectiveness for almost all jobs，from semiskilled labor to sales and management，depends on conscientiousness.It is particularly important for outstanding performance in jobs at the lower levels of an organization：the secretary whose message taking is perfect，the delivery truck driver who is always on time.Among sales representatives for a large American car manufacturer，those who were most conscientious had the largest volume of sales.Conscientiousness also offers a buffer(缓冲)against the threat of job loss in todays constantly changing market，because employees with this quality are among the most valued.For the sales representatives，their level of conscientiousness mattered almost as much as their sales in determining who stayed on.There is an air around highly conscientious people that makes them seem even better than they actually are.Their reputation for dependability influences managers evaluations of their work，giving them higher evaluations than objective measures of their performance would predict.But conscientiousness in the absence of social skills can lead to problems.Since conscientious people demand so much of themselves，they can hold other people to their own standards，and so be overly judgmental when others dont show the same high levels of model behavior.Factory workers in Great Britain and the United States who were extremely conscientious，for example，tended to criticize coworkers even about failures that seemed unimportant to
