12、 the author and some others contribute to the formation of the points illustrated in this book答案:E参见E篇的第二句话“John Maxwell，drawing lessons from his own expefiences as weu as those of other leaders，has discovered 21 principles for leadership”其中 “drawing lessons from his own exDeriences as well as those

13、 of other leaders”是关键所在，由此判断E为正确答案。2. After careful reading，readers may come to accept the authors viewpoints on the subject discussed in this book答案:D参见D篇的最后一句“Readers who exert some conscious patience will find the author，s core Doints about the role of the unconscious in the business world insigh

14、tful and useful”其句子的核心部分意思是“读者将会 发现作者的主要观点是很有见地而且有用的”，由此可以判断D为正确答案。3. This book mainly concerns the success story of a famous company答案:C本题答案非常明确，参考C篇的第二、三句话，我们可以判断本书主要内容是关于宝洁公司这一知名企业的成功之路，因此本题选C。4. This book appeals to human resources managers in that it offers them a positive way of managing peopl

15、e答案:B参考B篇的标题“Discipline without Punishment”以及文中前两句话，我们得知本书提出了“a nonpunitive approach”，即一种积极的、正面的管理员工的办法，而且本书对于“human-resource staff members”来讲是“a must-read”(必读的书)。所以根据以上三个核心词可以判断B的内容与之相符。5. In this book，the author proposes a new system and introduces some ways of applying it in practice答案:B参考第四题的解析，

16、我们知道B篇所指的书提出了一套新体制，它不同于传统的惩罚性的员工管理体制。另外，结合B篇最后一句“This book is highly appreciated for the thoughtfulness and detail of his suggested disciplinary systemas well as his advice on incorporating this system into your daily management practices”尤其是后半句明确提到“另外，他还提出了如何把这一体制融入日常的管理实践中”，由此判断答案为B。6. The author

17、of this book illustrates that nowadays a new leader is often faced with great pressure答案:A参考A篇的标题“The New Boss”和A篇的前两句话“Taking over as thenew bossis never easyExpectations run highyou have a limited time to make a good impression and the competitive pressure is severe”其句意为“接替职位，作为新老板，绝非易事，因为人们对你的期望很

18、高，竞争压力很大，而给你施展才华的时间却又很有限”。由此不难判断本题的答案为A。7. This book covers leadership in many different areas答案:E参考E篇的标题“The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership”和文中的第三、四句话“In each chapter of the bookMaxwell describes each law as a tool that can help people succeed in business，church，sports，and personal endeavorsAnyo

19、ne in any position，in any field，and in any culture，can learn and practice these laws to become a successful leader”可见本书讨论leadership，而且涉及许多不同领域(in business，church，sports，and personal endeavors)。由此可以判断E为本题答案。8.

20、rts of it can be better writen答案:DD篇第一、二句是解题的关键。其中第一句中的“his points are clear and seem immediately applicable”与D项的前半句相符，而第二句中的两个核心词obscure(模棱两可的)和arbitrary(任意的，武断的)则指出了本书的某些不足之处。由此判断D为正确答案。PART TWO Read the text below about the impotance of an internship Choose the best sentence from the opposite pag

21、e to fill each of the gaps For each gap 9-14，mark one letter(A-H)on your Answer Sheet Do not use any Ietter more than once Is an internship really all that important?

26、ique you are rather than identify with others，he said 3 In the opinion of Mr.Oldman，internships are an ideal way for employers to find out whether a new worker is suitable for a particular job 4 Therefore，as an intern，when you are asked to perform tasks that are boring and unimportant，you shouldnt f

27、eel wronged by thatYou should be willing to do such work because that shows you are a hard worker，said Mr.Oldman 5 Look for work，but do it gently or indirectly，and not too assertively，Mr.Oldman addeddo whats asked of you optimally and then offer your services for additional projects Last but not lea

28、st，theres something you can do to improve the chances that your internship will lead to a job offerBefore you leave，build a bridge to the future，Mr.Oldman saidGo over what you learned with your managersand tell them how much you appreciated the opportunity to work with them 6 That way，even if your i

31、 interns cant be overestimated GIn the workplace，however，you tend to be judged by your willingness to fit into the groups norms HBut now an internship is seen as a vital first career step，he said。 1.答案:C本题答案比较明确，因为空格所在的段落主要叙述的就是Mark Oldman关于internship(实习工作)所持的观点。空格前面的语句指出某些实习生的错误想法和做法，很自然地，我们可以预期在空格

32、处要 交代的就是他所认同的正确做法，而选项C正好符合，因此为正确答案。2.答案:F参考空格前后的语言，注意它们之间的逻辑关系。空格前的句子正好也是本段的主旨句，它的意思是“也许你在实习时会感到毫无头绪，此时你应该把这种劣势转化为优势。”我们很自然地会发问“何以能把这种劣势转化为优势呢?”这肯定是因为你作为实习人员而拥有的某种能力或能量。另外，空格后面的语句则详细阐述了inteims所拥有的特权“他们可以自由地穿梭于各个部门和工作岗位之间向他人求助，因为大多数人都愿意与年轻人分享经验。”因此，可以判断F是主旨句与细节论据之间的过渡，符合上下文的逻辑关系。3.答案:G本空格位于本段结尾处，所以答题

33、的线索都在前面的语句中。前面提到“Its important for an intern to quickly decode the culture of the companyrand not step outside that”意思是“实习人员应该尽快了解企业文化，而不应该置身其外。”而题干G中的“fit into the groups norms”与本句含义相符，norm的意思是“规范，准则”。此外，空格前一句指出了当前一些年轻实习人员的观念和做法：他们试图标新立异以彰显个性，而这并不是专家们所赞同的，而题干G则表达了专家们的忠告，因而符合上下文的逻辑。4.答案:A本题答案较为明确，关键

34、在于理解空格前一句话“In the opinion of Mr.Oldman，inteiaaships are an ideal way for employers to find out whether a new worker。is suitable for a parficular job”本句的含义是“Mr.Oldman 认为实习工作是雇主判断某个新人是否适合某具体工作的理想途径。”而A项中指代的就是internships，而且又出现了核心词employers，因此可以判断A为恰当的选择。5.答案:E答对本题的关键在于理解空格前后语句的内在联系。在空格12和13之间的两个句子指出，作为

35、实习生，当你面对既单调又不重要的工作时，你不用感到委屈。你应该努力去做，因为这证明你对待工作很认真。选项E中的“projeels that will let you make good use of more advanced skills”与“tasks that are boring and unimportant”形成逻辑上的对比关系。而且空格后面也进一步强调你应该“Look for work”所以E为符合上下文的最佳答案。6.答案:B本题答案非常明确。首先空格前面两句“Before you leave，build a bridge to the future，MrOldman said

36、Go over what you learned with your managersand tell them how much you appreciated the opportunity to work with them”提到了“before you leave”和“managers”，这些词在B项中重复出现“And ask whether your manager wouldbefore you leave”这几个句子先后说明了作者建议实习生在离开单位前应做的一系列事情。此外，注意空格后面的句子“That way，even if your internship does not l

37、ead to a job at that company，it will help clear a path to your eventual employer”其中的“that way”又指的是什么呢?其实就是B项中提到的“a letter of recommendation”，不难理解实习单位领导给你写的推荐信将有助于你早日找到满意的工作，所以B项符合上下文的逻辑关系，为正确答案。PART THREE Read the following aicle about team work and answer the questions on the opposite page For each

38、 question 15-20，mark one letter(A，B，C or D)on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose Is your group really a team? Teams are all the rage in the workplace today，and every organization speaks of the importance of teamsBut just because a group of people work together does not necessarily make them

39、 a teamThere are essential elements that identify teams，and nurturing them will help you become a good team leader Lets begin with a definition of what a team really isTeams are groups of individuals who accomplish designated objectives by working interdependenlIy，communicating effectively，and makin

40、g decisions that impact their day to day workSo the first question to ask yourself is，How close does my team come to this definton?If it doesnt measure up to the definition，then you are not really leading a teamYou are probably managing a work groupThere is absolutely nothing wrong with a work group

41、A work group can achieve great results with your close supemisionThe idea，however，in todays changing organization and our competitive global marketplace，is to develop teams that can work autonomously without your close direction and support In a teammembers share decision-making and often build cons

42、ensus，with two-way communication between manager and membersThere are joint work assignments and accountability on both the individual and team levelsIn a work group，the manager is the decision-maker，and there is a one-way，top-down pattern of communication。Each member has individual work assignments

43、，and each person is held accountable and appraised by the manager. Whether you operate as a work group or a team depends on three factorsFirstly，the skill and motivational level of membersSkilled and motivated employees need to be able to make decisions on their own and communicate upwardly when the

44、y need toThis is a model for working as a teamSecondly，the nature of the workSome work situations do not call for members to make decisions together，nor is there a need for much two way communication among team members and their managerBut if there is a need for both，you have a teamThirdly，the manag

45、ers belief that indMduals can work autonomously and interdependentlyThis attitude is essential for todays workplace。When managers do not hold this belief，they will favor the work group over the team To get a group of individuals to function as a team，it is necessary to highlight the following issues

46、As for team memberseveryone of them needs to know what he or she is supposed to accomplish and how it fits in with what other team members do.And they must be allowed to make decisions that impact their work products and semicesWhen we give people ownership over what they are doing，they perform much

48、o acknowledge team membersaccomplishmentMembers need ongoing reminders that their efforts are valued and appreciated so that they can sustain high levels of performance 1. Which statement concerning teams is true?A.Nowadays teamwork is a popular conceptB.All the companies put great emphasis on teams

49、C.A good team involves close supewision of the team leaderD.Theres nothing in common between a team and a group答案:A本题的关键在于理解文章第一句话“Teams are all the rage in the work。place today，and every organization sdeaks of the importance of teams”它的意思是“团队在当今工作场所中非常流行，所有的组织都在谈论团队的重要性。”此处的all the rage是个固定短语，表示“非常

50、流行，风靡一时”，因此可以判断选项A与本句内容相符合。至于B项，大家应该明白“speaks of the：importance of teams”并不等于真正重视团队合作(put great emphasis on teams)，所以B项不符。至于C、D也与后面的重要内容不符合。所以本题选A。2. In a teamA.members work independently of each otherB.members make all the decisions togetherC.the team leader supewise the teamwork all the timeD.memb

51、ers work cooperatively and communicate effectively答案:D本题相关内容是文章第二段，只要正确理解其第二句话就不难确定答案为D。我们先来分析句子“Teams are groups of individuals who accomplish designated objectives by working interdependently，communicating effectivelyrand making decisions that impact their day to day work”中的几个关键词，它们可以帮助我们排除干扰项。首先，

52、A项中的“work independently”(各自独立工作)与句中的“working interdependently”(互相合作)不符，可以被排除。B选项的说法过于绝对，并与“making decisions that impact their day to day work”不符，也可排除。而选项D则很好地体现了团队的合作精神，也与句中的“working interdependently”，“communicating effectirely”完全吻合，所以D为正确答案。至于C选项，它的含义是“在团队中，队长时刻监督管理队员的工作”，这与段中最后两句话的中心思想相违背，即工作团队有别于

53、工作小组的一个重要特征就是：它的队员无须队长的管理和指导就能够积极主动地工作，所以C也可以排除。3. Whats not true according to the third paragraph?A.Good teamwork means total agreement among membersB.The manager of a work group is the decision-makerC.Responsibility is shared among team membersD.In a group，members have separate assignments答案:A文章第三

54、段比较了worlk group和team的不同之处。根据第一、二句关于team的叙述，可以判断A项不正确，因为A的说法本身就过于绝对化，而且也与句中的“often build consensus”不符。其中第二句提到“在团队中，队员们有共同的工作任务，个人和团队共同分担责任”，可以判断C符合句意。而至于B、D，我们可以根据最后两句关于WOIk group的叙述作出判断，其中的关键词“the manager is the decisionmaker”和“individual work assignments”可以帮助我们确定B、D符合原文。4. Different from a work gro

55、upA.a team includes a large group of people working togetherB.members of a team are skilled employeesC.the Ieader of a team believes in team workD.team members dont communicate with the leader答案:C本题相关内容在第四段。选项A、B可以首先被排除，因为它们可以是group和team的共同特点，而D则与team的主要特征相矛盾，因此也被排除。选项C其实是本段最后三句话的另外一种表述方式。那里明确指出经理们应

56、该相信每个成员都能够主动而且合作性地工作，如果他们没有这样的信念，他们肯定会选择group而不是team。换言之，作为team leader，他肯定是相信团队合作精神的，这与C的含义“team leader崇尚团队合作精神”是一致的，因此本题答案是c。5. What is not mentioned in the last paragraph?A.Team members should be aware of the designated objectivesB.Team members may sometimes abuse the decision-making powerC.Team members should contribute to the development of the teamD.Team members are entitled to make some decisions答案:B参考最后一个段落，不难发现段中第二句话与选项A相符，第三句与D相符。正确理解第四句非常关键，它的意思是“当人们自主工作时，他们的工作表现就更好”，而选项B“队员们有时会滥用他们的自主决定权”显然与此意不符合。另外，选项C与第五句内容一致。综上所述，只有B项与最后一段不符合，因此答案为B。6.
