thank raymond loewy for almost all the pretty things we have around us.without his designs, many of the products we have come to depend on today may be non-existent. as a mid-century industrial designer, loewy was responsible for designing ibms card punchers (the very first computers), container ships, sewing machines and even nasa habitats. he can be called the “father of industrial design”. loewy was born in paris but lived in new york. he made his career during the post-war economic growth when industrialization took off and the market for industrial products exploded. you may want to call it fortune, but he was at the right place and at the right time. loewy started his career as a display (陈列) designer for a store. he went on to design packages for consumer products and later moved into the area of complicated inside designs for cars and commercial aircraft.loewy was prolific in his work. take, for example, his work in the area of transportation alone. his designs did not just stop with the transit system. he designed trains, planes and automobiles that made up the transportation system and also aerospace engineering. the beauty of his work was that he not only designed systems, but also created products and the graphic design (平面设计) required for marketing the products. he had a good sense of imagination that recognized the potential for successful businesses.what was particularly interesting was how enthusiastically he tried his hand at designing anything and everything. for loewy, the modern world was magical and interconnected, and no matter how worthless or important, each of his designs was always brought to perfection. he did not limit himself to a particular industry, brand or machinery; instead he designed so many things that have made our life in the 20thcentury more beautiful.25. according to the text, raymond loewy _.a. was famous for designing productsb. was the father of a ship designerc. was out of work after the ward. spent all his life in america26. the underlined word “prolific” in paragraph 3 can best be replaced by “_”.a. serious b. modest c. productive d. humorous27. which of the following can best describe raymond loewy?a. curious and careful.b. cautious and friendly.c. independent and generous.d. considerate and optimistic.28. what would be the best title for the text?a. how did raymond loewy design his life?b. the man who brought peace to everywherec. why did raymond loewy leave for the u.s.?d. the man who made the 20th century attractivec the origins of pizza can be traced (追溯) back to the romans, who baked a type of bread called “picea”. around 1,000 ad, the name “pizza” had already become accepted. however, it took a long time before the real neapolitan pizza with tomato sauce, fish and cheese came into existence. a recipe from 1858 describes something much more like the popular food we know as pizza today. this early recipe describes a piece of dough (the pizza “bread”) rolled out into a flat, round shape, covered with any food available, topped with oil, and then baked in a stove. the recipe also lists other ingredients, such as chopped garlic, cheese, herbs and thin slices of fish. for a long time, pizza remained a specialty. other products from the south of italy spread slowly at first to the north, but pizza was slower to travel. it first made a detour (绕道) to new york in the usa, where people bought the dough bread with its delicious toppings from street vendors (小贩) and ate it as a snack between meals. the first neapolitan pizzeria opened in new york in 1905. sixty years later, pizza had become popular not only in the usa, but was also eagerly eaten in northern europe. it was only in italy with the exception of naples (a city in southeast italy) that pizza was still little-known. this nutritious snack did not make its entrance into rome and the northern parts of italy until the 1970s and 1980s.today pizza is eaten all over the world. even in the most remote towns and villages, there is often somewhere to buy pizza, and, in large cities, a whole army of pizza-delivery restaurants advertise their products. if you want to try your skills, your local market is sure to sell all the necessary ingredients. by the way, it varies a lot as for the ingredients people choose in america, russia, india and many other countries.29. as a recipe from 1858 says, a piece of dough _.a. was rolled out in the shape of a circleb. was baked in a stove for almost one hourc. was covered with as much food as possibled. was mixed with few ingredients we see today30. we can learn from the text that pizza _.a. has a history of only a few hundred yearsb. spread slowly across italy at the beginningc. was not accepted at all at first in new yorkd. is popular in every part of italy except naples31. the purpose of paragraph 3 is to show _.a. the taste of pizzab. the spread of pizzac. the origins of pizzad. the benefits of pizza32. what is most probably to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?a. different recipes for pizza.b. different kinds of fast food.c. natural ingredients for pizza.d. the secrets of pizza deliveries.d dealing with conflict in the workplace is rarely easy. hurt feelings and anger can lead to lower employee morale (士气) as well as a loss of productivity and a poor work environment. as a manager, you should find some ways yourself to solve the conflict. the goal is to build a team-centered workforce.you can use role-reversal (角色转换) methods to help each employee understand how the other feels. this model works best when there are only two parties involved. you can hold a meeting with annoyed workers in your office. you might say, “jane, explain to me how you would feel if nancy went to lunch with your clients (客户) without telling you?” or, “nancy, how would you respond if jane came to me with complaints about you, but hadnt tried to talk to you about them first?” workers often respond better to praise than criticism. by publicly drawing attention to employees who have healthy work relationships, you can increase the awareness for those who encourage any conflict. avoid mentioning teams or departments that are being troubled by conflict. instead, focus on the teams that work well together. you might say, “i want to express thanks to the design team for working together to meet the deadline this week,” or “special thanks to the finance department for their teamwork in making sure that the quarterly reports were accurate.” and help your employees see that differences can be good and dont necessarily lead to anger or disagreement. this is one of the best ways to settle workplace conflicts. you can meet with employees and try to stress the value of different techniques. this lets all parties know that their own styles can be effective. you might say, “i know you disagree on how to market our services, but when you combine jims email marketing with joes personal one-on-one phone calls, you can increase sales. the two of you go well together.” or, “i know you have different styles for interacting with clients, but sallys take-them-out-for-coffee approach works well together with anns formal business meeting style. both are necessary for building relationships and getting work done.”33. to build a team-centered workforce, employees _.a. should learn to be considerateb. should be divided into two partiesc. shouldnt go out with clients aloned. should learn to accept public criticism34. by saying the underlined sentence “i want to express thanks . this week”, the author tries to show _.a. differences are not all badb. role reversals are necessaryc. the importance of working togetherd. the importance of focusing on the positive35. the authors purpose of writing the text is most likely to _.a. inform b. persuadec. instruct d. entertain第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。boys do bad at schooldespite education reforms and more than
