2014届高三二轮专题强化训练：任务型阅读（真题+模拟） (一)(2013江苏)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 stick 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 manufacture, 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 those they criticized, which damaged their relationships.when conscientiousness takes the form of living up to expectations, it can discourage creativity. in creative professions like art or advertising, openness to wild ideas and spontaneity (自发性) are scarce and in demand. success in such occupations calls for a balance, however, without enough conscientiousness to follow through, people become mere dreamers, with nothing to show for their imaginativeness.答案：1strict2helpful/good3functions/roles/importance/significance4running/working/going/operating/functioning5performance(s)6fired/dismissed/jobless7problems/troubles8higher/subjective/unfair/prejudiced9tense/damaged/poor/bad10discourage/affect/damage(二)(2012安徽)traveling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier. we live in a global village，but this doesnt mean that we all behave in the same way.how should you behave when you meet someone for the first time? an american shakes your hand firmly while looking you straight in the eye. in many parts of asia, there is no physical contact (接触)at all. in japan, you should bow, and the more respect you want to show, the deeper you should bow. in thailand, people greet each other by pressing both hands together at the chest. in both countries, eye contact is avoided as a sign of respect.many countries have rules about what you should and shouldnt wear. in muslim countries, you shouldnt reveal (显露)the body, especially women, who should wear long blouses and skirts.in korea, you should take off your shoes when entering a house. remember to place them neatly together where you came in.in spain, lunch is often the biggest meal of the day, and can last two or three hours. for this reason many people eat a light breakfast and a late dinner. in mexico, lunch is the time to relax，and many people prefer not to discuss business as they eat. in britain, its not unusual to have a business meeting over breakfast.in most countries, an exchange of business cards is necessary for all introductions. you should include your company name and your position. if you are going to a country where your language is not widely spoken, you can get the back side of your card printed in the local language. in china，you may present your card with the writing facing the person you are giving it to.答案：1. behavior2.

our interactions at work, our relationships are largely responsible for our career success or failure. here are some guidelines.people who focus on themselves when interacting with others rarely build positive lasting relationships. instead，they should become good listeners and encourage others to talk about themselves.all the skills and education in the world will never impress anyone as much as sincere, heartfelt care for them. plus, few things have a more positive effect on others than finding out and remembering things about them. knowing a lot about people is a real display of your care for them，and it creates a lasting bond.give your relationship something positive when you meet，such as ideas，opportunities，and resources. besides giving, be willing to receive from the other person. in fact, one of the best ways to start a relationship is to ask for advice or a favor. everyone loves to show his expert knowledge and authority on a subject, because it makes him feel honored and respected.try to use conflict as a tool，not a weapon. the presence of conflict in a relationship is natural and healthy. damage only occurs when we react inappropriately to it. to learn more about the other person and find a solution that serves both of you, relationships could become stronger and deeper.relationships break up quickly when others cant count on you, so say what you mean and stick to your word. few things damage a friendship more severely than breaking a trust.if people know more about the value of good relationships, they can achieve both personal satisfaction and professional success. if you arent naturally gifted in this area, dont worry. you can learn to improve them in your life and career.title：develop positive interpersonal 1._ skillstipscontentbe a good

group of teenagers in the uk what they most like to eat, and foods like pizzas, hamburgers and chips are sure to get a mention. but what teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what they should be eating. according to the national diet and nutrition survey, far too many young people in the uk between the ages of 4 and 18 consume too much fat, sugar and salt in their diet. meanwhile, their intake of fibre, iron and calcium (钙) is too low.for a growing body, eating foods containing plenty of calcium, such as milk, yogurt and cheese, is important as calcium is completely necessary for the development of healthy, strong bones. similarly, foods that are rich in iron are good for young, rapidly developing bodies, so red meat, bread, green vegetables, and dried fruit are also recommended.it is during our teenage years that lifestyle habits can be formed, so it is vital that young people are educated about what foods are good for them. in 2005, and in an attempt to change eating habits and open teenagers minds to new tastes, the famous chef, jamie oliver started a “feed me better” campaign. he worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the uk to provide more healthy, nutritious school meal choices. although some teenagers and parents resisted it, the campaign was in general believed as a huge success and helped to influence governmental policy on nutritional standards for school meals.no one expects to end the teenage love affair with fast and junk food but, hopefully, if projects like “feed me better” continue to give out the right messages, more young people will understand the importance of balancing several treats with healthier food choices.title: a little of what you fancy1._teenagers 2._ has too much fat, sugar, salt and

for it, the first step is to give the warranty，or any other records which might help, to the store of purchase. this action will often produce results. however, if not, there are various means to gain satisfaction. a simple and common method is to complain directly to the store manager. in general, the “higher up” the consumer takes their complaint, the faster they can expect a settlement. in such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, assuming they have a just claim. consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the store, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter. complaining is usually most effective when done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate the problem with the item. 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, “the left speaker does not work at all and the sound is unclear” is better than “this stereo does not work.” the store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer. if so, the consumer should state the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. they can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to an organization responsible for protecting consumers rights.答案：1satisfied2.helpful/useful3.seriously4.faster/sooner5.phone/telephone6.effectively7.demonstrating/showing/explaining8.take9.threatening10.charge(七)(2013安徽名校联盟最后一卷)family structure had changed dramatically over the last 50 years. the following are the types of families existing today.nuclear familythe nuclear family is a traditional type of family structure. this family type consists of mother, father and children. the nuclear family was long held in esteem by society as being the ideal in which to raise children because children in nuclear families receive strength and stability from the twoparent structure.single parent familythe single parent family consists of one parent raising one or more children on his own. when only one parent is at home, it may be a struggle to find childcare, as there is only one parent working. this limits income and opportunities in many cases, although many single parent families have help from relatives and friends.extended familythe extended family structure consists of two or more adults who are related, either by blood or marriage, living in the same home. this family includes many relatives living together and working toward common goals. this type of family structure may be formed due to financial difficulties or because older relatives are unable to care for themselves alone. childless familywhile most people think of family as including children, there are couples who either cannot or choose not to have children. many childless families take on the responsibility of pet ownership or have extensive contact with their nieces and nephews as a substitute for having their own children.stepfamilyover half of all marriages end in divorce, and many of these individuals choose to get remarried. this creates the stepfamily, which involves two separate families merging into one new unit. stepfamilies tend to have more problems, such as adjustment periods and discipline issues. there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to what is the best type of family structure. as long as a family is filled with love and support for one another, it tends to be successful and thrive.titletodays family
