he finally said. 1. what did the man mean by saying take it easy unless you want lead for lunch? a. put up your hands. b. dont move or ill shoot you. c. if you want to have lunch, you must listen to me. d. you go first slowly and well have lunch together. 答案: b 指导：从上下文知，bond当时以为是枪顶着他的后背，故推知本句决非本义。lead指子弹。*结束when it comes to making a good career in the business world, being honest and getting along well with colleagues gives a person a solid competitive advantage, claims a new research.dr.jon bohlmann has found that project managers can expect better performance by far from the members of their team if treating them with honesty, kindness, and respect. according to another study , the gross-functional product development teams, can achieve a great quality and better cost benefits from socializing and interacting with individuals who work for their suppliers.the first, dr. bohlmanns study analyzed cross-functional product development teams, which combine together engineers, researchers and business personnel. the point to involve people with various backgrounds was to show that there was a focus on finance, marketing, and also on a design and functionality, right from the start of the product-development process. in addition to all this, this diversity also helped to make communication more effective in order to ensure that all members of the team were socializing and cooperating, and not just working at cross-purposes.as a result, it indicated that interactional fairness awareness indeed had an effect on a cross-functional communication. in other words, all the team members who thought that they had been treated well and respected, showed a great increase in their commitment to the success of the project they had been working on in cooperation with other team members, and, in particular, when they realized their project manager or supervisor to be a kind, nice and honest guy.according to dr. bohlmann, the increase in such commitment is very essential and important because it could improve performance that would result in the achievement of team goals. and if bohlmanns study comes to the conclusion that nice and honest guys are the first to finish, the second research by dr. rob handfleld shows us that cooperating and socializing well with others can give a team, and even a company an edge, when it comes to product development.41.according to the passage, being a successful project manager, you should havethe following qualities except _.a. honesty b. kindness c. desire for power d. respect【答案】c 【解析】细节理解题。根据dr.jon bohlmann has found that project managers can expect better performance by far from the members of their team if treating them with honesty, kindness, and respect.如果想做一个好的项目经理需要诚实、善良及尊敬，没有提到对权利的欲望，故选c。42. what does the underlined word they refer to in paragraph 4?a. managers b. team members c. colleagues d. researchers 【答案】b【解析】细节理解题。根据all the team members who thought that they根据上下文可知这里指的是队员，故选b。43 what effect can the commitment mentioned by dr. bohlmann have on our work?a.ensuring great quality of productb.giving a team, and even a company an edgec.making communication effectived.helping us perform better【答案】d【解析】细节理解题。根据according to dr. bohlmann, the increase in such commitment is very essential and important because it could improve performance that would result in the achievement of team goals.能够帮助我们办事效率的提高，故选d。44.what will the author most possibly write in the next paragraph?a.dr. rob handfielcts study.b.dr. jon bohlmanns new findings.c.the importance of cooperating and socializing.d.how to cooperate with others.【答案】a【解析】推理判断题。根据the second research by dr. rob handfleld shows us that cooperating and socializing well with others can give a team, and even a company an edge, when it comes to product development.这里下文要谈的是dr. rob handfleld的研究，故选a。45.the best title for the passage might be _.a.team work is essential and important.b.how to develop a successful business careerc.honest and kind people make better business careerd.socializing and cooperating【答案】c【解析】标题归纳题。根据短文的内容及文章的开头可知诚实和善良能够使生意做地更好，故选c。阅读理解猜测词义1passage * plagiarism is one of the most serious problems in schools and colleges. it has occurred as long as there have been teachers and students, but the recent growth of the intemet has made it much worse. recent studies show 30% of all students may be plagiarizing on ev
