三、 阅读理解(24分)
A
Sophia is smart,talented and incredibly nice. As a team leader,she wishes Nathan,a member of her history project,did his part as required. But rather than criticize him,Sophia offered polite encouragement trying to push him instead,only to find that Nathan kept falling behind. It ended up that other team members,who had to take on more work,complained about both Sophia and Nathan,while Nathan himself complained that he was not treated fairly.
How did poor Sophia get into this mess?The primary reason was that Sophia failed in a key aspect of leadership—the duty to provide clear feedback(反馈) for team members. This isn't simply a duty but a correctness.
Failing to question or criticize Nathan's work,Sophia was in fact unkind. Many people are not a failure,like Nathan in this case;they're just in the wrong place,and still left in the dark. What they really need is feedback from their leaders. However,Sophia,in this case,withheld a gift from Nathan.
“You'd better use open,honest,continuous and clear feedback,”says Harry Kraemer,a professor of management and strategy at Northwestern University,“to help figure out someone's best fit—in their particular job or in the organization.”
This approach also prevents surprises. It's not uncommon to see someone suddenly removed from a team. They may have deserved it,but with a kind leader,they wouldn't have been caught off- guard because they would have been receiving open,honest,continuous and clear judgment of their performance.
Then why is it so hard for leaders to give good feedback?“We like to be liked,” Kraemer says. So we avoid anything that may cause unpleasantness,but that kind of feedback usually helps members find the right place for them. “If you like to be liked,the chance of being respected is extremely low. However,if you start off focusing on being respected,you have a chance of being liked,” Kraemer adds. The most difficult part for the leader,of course,involves criticizing someone. That is what a nice leader finds hard.
Back to Sophia's case. Not telling Nathan how he was on the team only made a hard situation worse. But with a different mindset,she could have set herself and Nathan up for success.
1. The expression “caught off- guard” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.
A. kicked out carelessly B. treated unexpectedly
C. sent out unfairly D. guided effortlessly
B
2. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. being nice to team members is likely to win leaders great respect
B. criticizing team members results in serious complaints to the leader
C. open and honest communication is a must for leaders and team members
D. praise and encouragement from leaders bring out better team performance
C
3. According to the writer,what Sophia should do is ________.
A. patiently encouraging Nathan to try his best
B. gradually having Nathan dropped out of the project
C. politely showing Nathan the improvement he made
D. clearly telling Nathan her judgment of his performance
D
4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. To be nice or to be kind
B. To be liked or to be criticized
C. Is it necessary for leaders to be pleasing
D. Is it helpful for leaders to be demanding
A

Why Wisdom(智慧) Doesn't Work as Well as We Think It Does
We relate wisdom to age. Most of us believe that gaining wisdom is like picking up stones on a path:the longer you're on the path,the more stones you'll collect.
It seems a reasonable inference,then,the older you are,the more wisdom you have. Older people usually make fewer careless mistakes,and they often know the best course of action in a given situation. But I think there's another explanation at play here,which we might consider in the light of what we know about human decision- making.
There are two different ways of decision- making:plans and habits. Here's an example of how these ways differ. If you're driving somewhere for the first time,you'll need a plan. You will need to know whether to turn left or right,because you don't already have that information stored away in your head. On the other hand,you don't need a plan when you're going somewhere familiar(熟悉的) because the order of steps that will take you there is stored as a habit. But if you find that the road is blocked by fallen trees,you'll have to think about another way. Such a plan allows you to more easily deal with new situations,but they require a lot more attention.
The use of plans and habits changes over the course of our lives. A baby can't use habits to make decisions,because any situation she's in will be a new one. As we build up a store of familiar situations,the more we can depend on habits. The older you are,the more likely your behavior is based on tried -and- true habits rather than fresh planning.
But what does this tell us about wisdom?Well,it suggests that wisdom is interactive,not static:it is a relationship between a person and their surroundings(环境). The reason that wisdom seems to come out so effortlessly from well -seasoned minds is that they have a store of habitual information about how to act in a given situation.
But it also makes a worrying prediction:if older people were put in a new situation,with which they had no familiarity,they wouldn't make better decisions than someone who is young. It is the same with mistakes. Older,seemingly wiser people make fewer mistakes because they're familiar with surroundings they often deal with. If you controlled for the familiarity of the situation,then people in different age groups would probably make the same number of mistakes. Younger people might even make fewer mistakes,because they are better at coming up with fresh plans.
While wisdom gives you expertise within a particular environment,it doesn't mean that you'll be able to generalize that to new experiences. It's not that we necessarily get wiser as we get older,but we put ourselves in fewer situations where we are likely to make mistakes.
5. What do we know about the two ways of decision- making according to the passage
A. Using plans or habits to make decisions is an ever changing process.
B. The use of plans and habits requires lots of attention and effort.
C. When going somewhere familiar,we need to work out a plan.
D. Younger people depend more on habits to make decisions.
A
6. What can we learn from the passage
A. Younger people have a great advantage in becoming wiser.
B. Older people are better at making careful plans before action.
C. Older people seem wiser because they've stored more habitual information.
D. Younger people make more mistakes when they're in unfamiliar surroundings.
C
7. What does the underlined word “static” probably mean in Paragraph 5
A. Uncontrolled. B. Unchanged.
C. Increasing. D. Surprising.
B
8. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage
A. To stress the importance of gaining wisdom.
B. To compare the two different ways of decision -making.
C. To call on younger people to learn more from older people.
D. To remind us to view the wisdom of older people reasonably.

六、 任务型阅读(15分)
A young lady was driving a family car home with her father when they were caught in a heavy storm. The young lady was a little afraid and asked her father,“What should I do,stop or keep driving?”
Her father said,“Keep driving.”
After driving a few kilometers,the storm was becoming heavier and heavier. The young lady noticed that some cars and big transport trucks were pulling over(靠边停) to the side of the road. The young lady asked her father again if they should stop. But her father said nothing. So,she had to keep on driving.
Ten minutes later,the storm started to become small and she could see a little more clearly. After a couple of kilometers,she drove out of the storm. Moreover,the sun came out and the road ahead was dry.
Her father told her to stop and get out of the car.
