smoke in the restaurant.(3)all passengers are required to show their tickets.(4)his bike requires repairing.解析demand语气最强，常含有“强求，不达目的不罢休”之意，后面可接不定式，但不能接动名词。request通常指有权得到要求的东西。require指按规定、命令的要求，正式用语，后面可接不定式或动名词。2用salary，wage，pay填空(1)his wages are $3 a week.(2)why not join us？you wont have to worry about rank or pay.(3)charlese is going to get a salary of 120,000 a year.(4)he finally got a job in a company paying good salaries.解析salary多指机关单位的官员、职员和管理人员的“薪金”，一般按年计算，分月或半月发给。wage一般指工人或服务人员等体力劳动者的“工资、工钱”，通常按时计算，分周发给，常用复数形式。pay既可指wage，也可指salary，译为“工资、薪饷”，但更多的是指军队的薪饷或津贴。.完成句子1oil is in_great_need (急需) these days，so its

bsuffered csuffered from dstood答案b解析suffer pain遭受痛苦；stand“忍受”，后面一般不接情感类名词。suffer from后常接具体的疾病名称。4i visited france last year.that_interesting.awas bcan be cmust be dmust have been答案d解析句意：去年我去法国旅游了。那一定非常有趣。visited和last year说明是对过去情况的肯定推测，因此用must have been。5students_take three papers in english literature.aare required to bwas required to crequired to drequire

sizable pay raise，people chosen as managers would begin a nearly automatic climb up the career ladder to lucrative executive private benefits：company cars，club memberships，plus the key to the executive washroom.but in todays global，more competitive showground，a manager sits in an insecure chair.restructuring has removed layer after layer of management as companies came to view their organizations as collections of talents rather than hierarchies(等级)there are far fewer steps for managers to climb.also，managerial jobs demand more hours and headaches than ever before but offer slim，if any，financial paybacks and perks.now managers must manage many people who are spread over different locations，even over different continents.they must manage across functions with say，design，finance and marketing.in an age of entrepreneurship，when the most praised people in business are those launching something new，management seems like an invisible，thankless role.employers are looking for people who can do things，not for people who make other people do things.in addition，the dilbert factor is at work.with dilberts popular cartoon character as well as many television situation comedies routinely describing managers as fools or enemies，they just dont get much respect any more.moreover，it may not pay to be a manager at least not the way it once did.ms. chmielewski says，“the emotional rewards can be great，and there were times i enjoyed management.but a 10to11hour day and one weekend day a month is the norm.”with more people cautions of joining management，are corporations being hurt or worrying about developing future leaders？not many are.while employers have dismissed a lot of managers，they believe many more candidates linger on at many companies.“another reason companies arent short of managers”，argues robert kelly，a business professor，“is that so many workers today are selfmanaged，either individually or via teams，they dont need a manager.”1compared with the past，the managing job today is more_.ademanding brewarding cquestionable dacceptable答案a解析细节理解题。依据文章第二、三段的描述，尤其是由其中的“more competitive showground”，“insecure chair”，“managerial jobs demand more hours and headaches than ever before”，“manage across functions with say，design，finance and marketing”这些部分可以得知，现在管理类工作的要求越来越苛刻，越来越高，故答案为a。2the author mentions what ms. chmielewski says to reflect that_.athe managers low working efficiency makes them less paidbthe gain of being a manager is not as satisfactory as beforecshe enjoys great emotional rewards of being a managerdshe misses the past enjoyment of being a manager答案b解析推理判断题。由倒数第二段第一句的“.it may not pay to be a manager at least not the way it once did.”可知，现在做经理的回报没有以前高，而“but a 10to11hour day and one weekend day a month is the norm.”只是其中一个具体的体现罢了。由此可知b项正确。3what can we learn from the passage?amanagers have more chances to be promoted now.bmanagers were not satisfied with the way they were treated.cit is unnecessary for a
