The Scots, a brave people, loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland, but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night, the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men，” he said, “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”They were all very tired, so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they, too, were very tired, and one by one, also fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hill, taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more, the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment, they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.本文讲述了罗马和苏格兰最后一次战斗的故事。21.

At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholder. She became known as “Mumbet” or “Mum Bett”For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashleys wife tried to strike Mumbets sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, she left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued (起诉) for her freedom.While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedomthe first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Sedgewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants (后裔). One of her greatgrandchildren was WE.B. Du Bois, one of the founders of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.Mumbets tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. It reads, in part: “She was born a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years. She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal.”本文为记叙文，题材为人物故事类。在美国奴隶制时代一个名叫Mumbet的女奴通过自己的努力和律师的帮助，成了马萨诸塞州第一个获得自由的奴隶。她的精神一直在影响着她的子孙后代。25. What do we know about Mumbet according to Paragraph 1?A. She was born a slave.B. She was a slaveholder.C. She had a famous sister.D. She was born into a rich family.答案：A细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话和最后一段第二句话可知她一出生就是一个奴隶，所以答案为A项。26. Why did Mumbet run away from the Ashleys?A. She found an employer.B. She wanted to be a lawyer.C. She was hit and got angry.D. She had to take care of her sister.答案：C细节理解题。根据第二段中的描述：Mumbet代替自己的妹妹受罚被奴隶主的妻子用铁锹打，于是她一怒之下离开并拒绝回来。由此可知Mumbet离开Ashley家是因为被打并感到气愤，故答案为C项。27. What did Mumbet learn from discussions about the new constitution?A. She should always obey her owners orders.B. She should be as free and equal as whites.C. How to be a good servant.D. How to apply for a job.答案：B推理判断题。根据第三段中的描述：如果宪法上说所有的人都是自由和平等的，那她认为那对她来说也适用。由此推断出Mumbet觉得自己也应该和所有人(所有的白人)一样成为一个自由人。所以答案为B项。28. What is the text mainly about?A. A story of a famous writer and spokesperson.B. The friendship between a lawyer and a slave.C. The life of a brave African American woman.D. A trial that shocked the whole world.答案：C主旨大意题。本文从Mumbet出生一直写到她离世，描述了她为奴隶获得自由而付出的努力及所做的斗争。所以本文的主题应该是：一位非裔美国女人勇敢奋斗的一生，答案为C项。C2014哈尔滨模拟Whether in the workplace or on the football field, effective teamwork can produce amazing results. However, working successfully as a team is not as easy as it may seem. Effective teamwork certainly does not just happen automatically; it takes a great deal of hard work and compromise. There are a number of factors that must be in place to make a good team.Effective leadership is one of the most important components of good teamwork. The teams leader should possess the skills to create and preserve a positive working environment and motivate and inspire the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly committed. An effective team leader will promote a high level of spirit and make them feel supported and valued.Communication is a vital factor of all interpersonal relationship and especially that of a team. Team members must be able to articulate their feelings, express plans and goals, share ideas and see each others opinions.Conflicts will arise no matter how well a team functions together. The best way to deal with conflicts is to have some organized methods of handling conflicts. Team members should be able to voice their concerns without fear of offending others. Instead of avoiding conflict issues, a handson approach that settles them quickly is much better. It is often advised that the team leader sit with the conflicting parties and help work out their differences without taking sides and trying to remain objective if possible.The team leader must set a good example to create good teamwork. In order to keep team members positive and committed and motivated, the team leader herself/himself needs to show these qualities. The team turns to the leader for support and guidance. So any negative words or behaviours on the leaders part can be disastrous.Regardless of what type of work you are in, knowing how to effectively work with a team is going to be extremely important to your success and that of your team.要想拥有一个高效的团队，领导必须起到协调的作用，促进团队成员之间的交流，解决好各方面的争端。29. Effective leadership is important partly because _.A. it creates a positive working environmentB. it helps a leader to develop lots of skillsC. it makes a leader feel supported and valuedD. it depends on interpersonal relationship of a team答案：A细节理解题。第二段谈到了团队领导者的重要性，说他必须能创造和保持积极的工作环境(create and preserve a positive working environment)，鼓励成员们积极地工作。从该段的叙述可知A项正确。30. The underlined word “articulate” probably means_.A. hide B. feelC. plan D. express答案：D词义猜测题。由画线词后面的“express plans and goals, share ideas and see each others opinions”可知应该选D，也就是说，团队成员要能够“表达”他们的感受，而不是隐藏、感觉或计划自己的感受。31. When conflicts arise among team members, the team leader should _.A. worry about the team membersB. ignore the team members voicesC. work out their differencesD. try to avoid conflict issues答案：C细节理解题。第四段说，当团队内部不可避免地出现矛盾纠纷时，团队领导者就应该与冲突各方坐在一起，不偏不倚地帮助解决他们的分歧(help work out their differences without taking sides)。由此判断选C。32. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Football and TeamworkB. Communication and TeamworkC. What Makes Effective TeamworkD. How to Handle Conflicts in a Team答案：C标题归纳题。全文介绍了如何使团队高效运作。第一段提出主题：要想拥有一个高效团队，有很多因素需要考虑，然后从领导者的作用、交流的重要性、如何解决争端等方面展开叙述。因此本文的核心话题是C“高效的团队工作的要素”。DPeople can write many things about life.
