一．完形填空（共10小题）
1．One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault﹣finder．However，life can be （36）　 　when you are not busy finding fault with it．
Several years ago I （37）　 　a letter from seventeen﹣year﹣old Kerry，who described herself as a world﹣class fault﹣finder，almost always （38）　 　 by things．People were always doing things that annoyed her，and （39）　 　was ever good enough．She was highly self﹣critical and also found fault with her friends．She became a really （40）　 　 person．
Unfortunately，it took a horrible accident to change her （41）　 　Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash．What made it almost （42）　 　 to deal with was that the day before the （43）　 　，Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her （44）　 　 of boyfriends，the way she was living，the way she related to her mother，and various other things she felt she needed to （45）　 　 It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became （46）　 　 her habit of finding fault．Very quickly，she learned to appreciate life rather than to（47）　 　 everything so harshly （刻薄）．She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her（48）　 　as well．
Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault﹣finding，（49）　 　 when we're honest，we can be sharply （50）　 　 of the world．I'm not suggesting you （51）　 　problems，or that you pretend things are （52）　 　than they are，but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are﹣（53）　 　 most of the time，and especially when it's not a really big （54）　 　．
Train yourself to"bite your tongue"，and with a little（55）　 　，you'll get really good at letting things go．And when you do，you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life．

2．Dad had a green comb．He bought it when he married Mum．Every night，he would hand me his （26）　 　 and say，"Good girl，help Daddy clean it，OK？"
I was （27）　 　to do it．At age five，this dull task brought me such （28）　 　．I would excitedly turn the tap （29）　 　 and brush the comb carefully．Satisfied that I'd done a good job，I would happily return the comb to Dad．He would （30）　 　affectionately at me and place the comb on his wallet．
Two years later，Dad started his own （31）　 　，which wasn't doing so well．That was when things started to （32）　 　．Dad didn't come home as early and as much as he used to．Mum and I became（33）　 　with him for placing our family in trouble．With（34）　 　，an uncomfortable silence grew between us．
After my graduation，Dad's business was getting back on track．On my 28th birthday，Dad came home （35）　 　．As usually I helped him carry his bags into his study．When I turned to leave，he said，"Hey，would you help me （36）　 　my comb？"I looked at him a while，then （37）　 　the comb and headed to the sink．
It hit me then：why，as a child，（38）　 　 Dad clean his comb was such a pleasure．That routine（习惯） meant Dad was home early to （39）　 　the evening with Mum and me．It （40）　 　 a happy and loving family．
I passed the clean comb back to Dad．He smiled at me and （41）　 　placed his comb on his wallet．But this time，I noticed something （42）　 　．Dad had aged．He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled，（43）　 　his smile was still as （44）　 　 as before，the smile of a father who just wanted a good （45）　 　 for his family．

3．Leadership is a word getting a lot of attention these days．It appears in the title of new advice，how﹣to，and business books with amazing （51）　 　．Definitions vary，but most of the ones I've seen don't help much．It's a totally （52）　 　 subject：You think A is a great leader； I like B's （53）　 　 better．That is，you may not be able to （54）　 　 it，but you know it when you see it．
So this is my take on the elusive （难以捉摸的） concept：
Years ago，leadership had （55）　 　 to do with a specific ability．"Leader"was the（56）　 　 given to the emperor of the organization．The person was the commander，the （57）　 　 with complete control．But （58）　 　 there is another way to establish yourself as a leader．
Here is my definition：Leadership is the ability to get others to do what you want，need，or expect them to do，and feel good about doing it．It is the（59）　 　 part （feeling good about doing it） that is so elusive．
If I am in charge，I can certainly demand you do what I expect you to do and insist you get it done．I can give orders．（60）　 　，I am the boss，and everyone knows what that means．It is a sure way to destroy the atmosphere of the（61）　 　．
Today，I believe that approach is on the way（62）　 　，although it will always be with us．When people hate the boss，sure，the boss is called"leader"﹣but not a good one，because the followers are an unhappy bunch．If they had another，（63）　 　 job to go to，they would be gone in a minute．
Here is a list of the qualities I believe it（64）　 　 to be a good leader：1．Likable； 2．Trustworthy； 3．Competent and experienced； 4．Part of the team； 5．Able and willing to participate； 6．Ready to（65）　 　； 7．Adaptable to change； 8．Eager to share credit．

52．A．wrong B．unnecessary C．objective D．subjective
53．A．system B．style C．sample D．speech
54．A．define B．understand C．analyze D．summarize

4．What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word "hero"？ Is it someone who （1）　 　a cape （披风） and can （2）　 　in the air？ There are onscreen heroes like the superheroes in Avengers， and also （3）　 　heroes in our lives．
But what （4）　 　a person a hero？
In general， a hero is someone selfless， （5）　 　and brave． These qualities （6）　 　heroes to help others in times of need， even if they are（7）　 　． You can （8）　 　them to be there for you if something bad happens．
"The people that we set up as heroes are people that generally go above and （9）　 　the call of duty． They do things that are （10）　 　，" said Nick Carden， a psychologist at the AAPHC Renaissance Center in the US．
However， why can some people be heroic？ Nick Carden said， heroes are made． "They （11）　 　are people that have been influenced by and have been helped by or have been modeled or raised to have those as （12）　 　．"
Ordinary people ﹣ just like you and me ﹣ are heroes in their own way， simply just by （13）　 　their part for their families and communities． Cleaners， doctors， journalists， delivery workers， nurses， and bus drivers﹣the （14）　 　goes on and on．
These ordinary people help （15）　 　in our day﹣to﹣day lives． And， sometimes， when there are（16）　 　， these ordinary people show courage and bravery to help（17）　 　strangers in need．
Being a hero is a universal attribute（属性） of human nature． The decision to act heroically is a choice that many of us will be called upon to （18）　 　at some point in time．
（19）　 　， you should strive（努力） to be your own hero． Be courageous， honest， and a person with integrity（正直）． Because，（20）　 　you are your own hero， you can truly do anything you set your mind to．

5．Have you had to overcome difficulty in your life？Your difficulties may appear （41）　 　 compared to those of April Alvarez．Doctors said she had a memory（42）　 　 and severe learning disability．They said she would never（43）　 　 to read or write．Later she had to tolerate years of doctors（44）　 　 and daily shots．But she never gave up hope．
April expresses her （45）　 　 this way："Even if it's dark sometimes，in my mind the （46）　 　 are there．"April refuses to．1 et learning challenges（47）　 　 her back．She receives special education services．But she also worked her（47）　 　 into advanced classes at Hawaii's Kahuku High School．With insistence and the help of （49）　 　，she has learned to develop her memory and become a（50）　 　 student．
"I （51）　 　 get things the first time，"she says．But she keeps trying and often （52）　 　 up with a better understanding than other students．For being such a good （53）　 　，April was considered as an All﹣Star Kid in the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper．

6．I moved to a new city and took a job in marketing. I didn't really understand whether it（1）　 　me. I enjoyed doing things that I felt had（2）　 　.I could see their benefit and feel their impact. As the months passed， I felt it just wasn't for me. I needed to find a way out.
A job advertisement for a（n）（3）　 　 for a new youth magazine came at exactly the right time. I applied and was（4）　 　. My role was to help teams of young people edit their（5）　 　 and help them with their work. I had assumed the magazine would be a（n）（6）　 　of games and dull reviews，so I was（7）　 　 when one of the first pieces written was about social welfare.（8）　 　，I found something I was interested in.
I felt a（9）　 　 in me straight away. I had a purpose again. Days were lost to discussing hot topics and（10）　 　 the words of their strong and opinionated（坚持己见的）voices.（11）　 　 in their world， I could see myself making a difference to the team's（12）　 　ability. As our website（13）　 　 increased and the work shifted to reflect what our（14）　 　wanted，I developed a greater（15）　 　 of what young people might want to read.
The biggest change the job brought，（16）　 　，was to my well﹣being. It is rare you find yourself in a job you love，one that you are happy to（17）　 　 each day. I was thriving（充实）in this（18）　 　 environment，inspired by the talented young people I was helping to（19）　 　their careers. Now， I realize that there are jobs that will keep you happy，（20）　 　 and inspired.

7．A man and his girlfriend were married. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to share the festivities（欢宴）and celebrations. All had a wonderful time.

A few months later， the wife came to the husband with a proposal，"I read in a magazine，a while ago， about how we can strengthen our（3）　 　，" she offered. "Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit（4）　 　 with the other person. Then，we can talk about how we can（5）　 　 them together and make our marriage happier." The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other.They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they（6）　 　. The next morning，at the breakfast table， they decided that they would go over their lists.
"I'll start，" offered the wife. She took out her（7）　 　 . It had many items on it，enough to （8）　 　 three pages.

8．Menninger took the hard way to climb Everest﹣the world's tallest peak.（1）　 　 hike it up， he decided to climb as a non﹣native Everest porter（挑夫），which meant （2）　 　 packs weighing up to 220 pounds along rough， high altitude trails（小路）.
Menninger came up with such a（n）（3）　 　 after spending a season as a guide in Nepal， and becoming （4）　 　 with life of these porters. "My goal was to have the same experience"， he explains.
The physical and emotional（5）　 　 of the job is laid （6）　 　 as Menninger is filmed struggling with a pack consisting of multiple bags tied together，（7）　 　 trying to sleep at night in crowded freezing porter houses.
A typical day（8）　 　 waking up at around 7：30 am and going to the client's hotel to（9）　 　 their bags and beginning to trek（长途跋涉）. Porters have to （10）　 　 for their own accommodation during treks. Some even regularly go without（11）　 　 to keep costs down. As they aren't（12）　 　 until the last day， they have no idea whether the trek has been economically worthwhile until they've（13）　 　 it.
Life is never（14）　 　 for them. Last year was one of Everest's deadliest climbing seasons，largely（15）　 　 difficult weather conditions， and lack of experience. （16）　 　 the problems is a lack of communication between the porters and their mostly wealthy clients.
With his film shot during this tough trek， Menninger wishes more were （17）　 　 of how much porters rely on their low salaries， and how much they contribute to the overall Everest experience. "（18）　 　， my film could encourage those porters by（19）　 　 what they're able to（20）　 　 and how hard they work."

9．Travelling， at least travelling any considerable distance， means dealing with airports. I've seen my share of airports. They come in several（1）　 　. The smallest I have been through was in the African town of Hoedspruit where the main waiting area was smaller than many school classrooms， security and ticket checking were both（2）　 　 by one person who was also controlling the gate onto the airfield and you had to walk out to the plane and climb the stairs to get in. It was even smaller than Canada's Moncton airport where the person taking the tickets was also one of the two（3）　 　on our flight.
At the other extreme are the（4）　 　， modern airports in the world's major cities. LAX， in Los Angeles has two parallel runways and provides the unusual opportunity to watch out the window of your landing aircraft as another one lands right beside you. Some， such as Beijing's Capital International Airport， SeaTac in Seattle and the International Airport in San Francisco， like those in Hong Kong and Shanghai， have（5）　 　 terminals connected by different buses or underground trains. Finding a connecting flight often means changing terminals， which can be a little（6）　 　.
Heathrow airport in London， England，（7）　 　that bigger is not always better. Heathrow consists of terminals used by various（8）　 　and is centered around an area that contains stores and restaurants. At Heathrow the tired traveller gets the（9）　 　 that they want you to spend your time in the stores because they won't announce the gate from which your flight will leave until about an hour before flight time. Given that they start to get people onto the planes half an hour before takeoff that leaves just 30 minutes to find and（10）　 　your gate， some of which are a 15﹣minute walk from the store area. There is absolutely no（11）　 　for this because the airport authorities know even before the day begins how many flights are arriving and departing and where they plan to put them. If I have just come off one long flight and I'm waiting for another， what I want is a quiet place， not an area（12）　 　 bright lights and noisy shoppers.
Travel， for me， is interesting but when I have to fly， getting there is（13）　 　not half the fun. Airplanes are very efficient way to move people long distances and airports are a（n） （14）　 　part of the process. Most airport do their best to provide a good travelling experience but they are to be（15）　 　， not really enjoyed.

Our（8）　 　in the factory were simple：Place cakes on a moving belt. Attach icing（糖霜）ears. Apply icing eyes and nose.（9）　 　 bunny from the belt. This was （10）　 　 than it sounds. （11）　 　 a bit and the cakes pile up. As I told my parents at dinner that first night， it was all a little more high﹣pressure than I'd （12）　 　.

3．Leadership is a word getting a lot of attention these days．It appears in the title of new advice，how﹣to，and business books with amazing （51）　 　．Definitions vary，but most of the ones I've seen don't help much．It's a totally （52）　D　 subject：You think A is a great leader； I like B's （53）　 　 better．That is，you may not be able to （54）　A　 it，but you know it when you see it．
So this is my take on the elusive （难以捉摸的） concept：
Years ago，leadership had （55）　C　 to do with a specific ability．"Leader"was the（56）　C　 given to the emperor of the organization．The person was the commander，the （57）　A　 with complete control．But （58）　D　 there is another way to establish yourself as a leader．
Here is my definition：Leadership is the ability to get others to do what you want，need，or expect them to do，and feel good about doing it．It is the（59）　 　 part （feeling good about doing it） that is so elusive．
If I am in charge，I can certainly demand you do what I expect you to do and insist you get it done．I can give orders．（60）　 　，I am the boss，and everyone knows what that means．It is a sure way to destroy the atmosphere of the（61）　D　．
