18.Several years ago,I had to replace a receptionist for my unit.Before I advertised for the position,I was approached by another manager,and asked if I would consider a transfer from his staffinstead of opening a new competition.My natural question was to ask who he wanted me to consider and why.
It appeared from his description of this employee,Maria,that she was having a lot of problems performing her duties,and had difficulties with her boss,and did not appear to respond to any attempts he,the manager,had made to settle the issues.Now,after listening to his explanation,I really had severe doubts.What crossed my mind,after this discussion,was that he wanted me to take a problem off his hands.
I told him I would think about it and would let him know the next day.As promised,after   thinking more about this potential performance issue,I decided that I would agree to speak with Maria privately before I made any decision.
And,what I found out during this interview,left me deep in thought.As it tumed out,the  performance issue appeared to result from working for a boss who never extended a good morning.greeting,never gave a word of encouragement,and was constantly changing the work load and routines.The end result was a totally ruined employee who was unconfident,hated to see a new work day start.
I decided to accept her transfer to my unit.What started out as a shy,withdrawn and frightened employee turned out to be one of the most productive and loyal employee that I had eyer worked with.Maria couldn't do enough and was constantly asking for more and for more responsibility.I was more than happy to give her what she needed-praise for work well done,respect as a person,and encouragement for doing well in anything she dealt with.
Sometimes,we are guilty of holding others back from accomplishing or doing,or developing as they should or could.It may be a wise idea that we all look in the mirror,from time to time,to see what we are really like.

41.What can we leam about the writer from the first paragraph?A
A.He is a manager in the company.
B.He doesn't like his receptionist.
C.He likes to compete with others.
D.He wants to find another position.
42.After hearing his colleague's description of Maria,the writer thought that MariaB.
A.a(chǎn)ttempted to settle the issues
B.was a problem to her boss
C.shouldn't stay in the company
D.could get on well with others
43.Why did Maria fail to perform well in her previous job?C
A.Her previous job was not suitable for her.
B.She had difficulty responding to her manager.
C.Her boss didn't inspire her working enthusiasm.
D.Her boss showed no trust in her ability.
44.The writer accepted Maria's transfer to unit probably because he thought thatC
A.she was a ruined employee
B.she would need his protection
C.she would turn out to be a good employee
D.she was a shy and frightened employee
45.The writer probably believes that a good boss shouldB.
A.praise and award his employees a lot
B.respect,praise and encourage his employees
C.greet his employees and give them much work
D.a(chǎn)lways give his employees guidance in working.

分析 本文屬于記敘文閱讀,作者在文中講述了自己經(jīng)歷的一件事,一位經(jīng)理向作者推薦了一名員工,通過經(jīng)理的介紹作者意識到這是一個問題員工,于是他背后找到這名員工,了解到其實員工的狀況都是由于經(jīng)理自身的問題造成的,在鼓勵和贊賞下這名員工成為了作者的得力干將.作者通過這個故事告訴了我們賞識和鼓勵的重要性.

解答 41.A  推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第一段Before I advertised for the position,I was approached by another manager,and asked if I would consider a transfer from his staffinstead of opening a new competition.另一位經(jīng)理和我接洽,由其中的"另一位"可以判斷作者也是一個經(jīng)理,故選A.
42.B  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二段Maria,that she was having a lot of problems performing her duties,and had difficulties with her boss,另一個經(jīng)理的敘述可知,Maria是令她老板頭疼的人物,故選B.
43.C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第三段the performance issue appeared to result from working for a boss who never extended a good morning.greeting,never gave a word of encouragement,可知她的老板從來沒有給她說過鼓勵的話,因此可以判斷她的問題都是由于老板的緣故造成的,故選C.
44.C  推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第四段As it tumed out,the  performance issue appeared to result from working for a boss who never extended a good morning.greeting,never gave a word of encouragement,and was constantly changing the work load and routines.可知本段講述了作者私下和這名員工進(jìn)行了交流,意識到了員工自身不存在什么問題,問題都出在經(jīng)理身上,而且認(rèn)為她會成為一名優(yōu)秀員工,所以把她調(diào)到了作者所在的部門,故選C.
45.B  推理判斷題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段I was more than happy to give her what she needed-praise for work well done,respect as a person,and encouragement for doing well in anything she dealt with.并根據(jù)作者對待Maria態(tài)度可以看出他認(rèn)為老板應(yīng)該尊敬表揚(yáng)和鼓勵他的員工,故選B.

點評 考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

10.A beautiful girl fell into a city moat (護(hù)城河) as a result of a careless step.She was swept by the currents (水流) to a broken fence of a bridge arch (拱門) in the moat,which caught her dress and stopped her for a short time.As the currents were rapid and the water surface is two or three meters below the ground,it would be hard to rescue her and even harder for the rescuer to climb up to safety.None of the passers-by dared to run the risk.
Eventually a young man dived into the moat,attempting her rescue.As a good swimmer,he soon reached the girl and dragged her to the bridge pier (橋墩).The accident attracted a large crowd,and not only came a group of firemen trying to help but also a lot of reporters.One of the latter asked the young man,"What made you run the risk in such rapid currents?"
The young man turned to the girl and gave a loud answer,"It was her beauty."The answer caused a general smile among the on-lookers."Didn't you have any idea of the danger you would come across?"asked the reporter again."Why,"said the young man,"She's so charming that it would be a great pity if she had been swept away by the rapid currents."This time all burst out laughing.
Later that evening,the TV news ran an item about the rescue.They showed the scene of the rescue itself,the saved girl full of gratitude and people's praise for her heroic rescuer.But the young man's interesting answers were missing,not to be heard.

72.Why dare not passers-by save the girl?C
A.The currents were always rapid.
B.The river was too deep.
C.They w ere afraid of taking the risk.
D.They needed a witness.

A.was stuck near a fence
B.cried out for help
C.burned herself out in the river
D.was swept down the river
74.From the text,we knowC didn't show up on the scene.
A.TV reporters   B.firefighters   C.doctors   D.some ordinary persons
75.What can we learn from the passage?B
A.A young man accidentally saved a girl falling into a moat.
B.There exist honesty and beauty as well as kindness.
C.Passers-by laughed at the young man's answer without hesitation.
D.News reporters covered the whole incident that evening.

7.I reached Cairo and took a taxi to Tahrir Square.The taxi dropped me off across the street from Hardee's,a fast-food restaurant.In the cold January air,two street children came to me with cries for food.
As a world traveler,I was used to beggars.But seldom had I been so moved by the sincerity of the plea (懇求).I asked them to wait while I went inside to buy them food.Since I was traveling on a tight budget and was even skipping meals on occasion,part of me identified with the children's hunger.But mostly,the children reminded me how rich I really was.
At the counter I ordered two hamburgers for the boys.Then,as the hamburgers were being cooked,I overcame my remaining stinginess(小氣)and bought them one of Hardee's delicious,big chocolate chip cookies.
As they took the hamburgers,they showed me with 30 seconds of nonstop blessings,praying that Allah would bless me always.After they finished,I reached into the bag and pulled out the cookie,extending it for them to take.Both boys fell silent,and tears welled up in their eyes as they insisted this was too much.They refused the cookie six times.On my seventh attempt,after a long silent pause.they held out their hands and took the cookie.
The events that night are now in the past,but there are moments when I'm transported back to that empty square and to the honest faces of two boys.Five years later,I still ask God's blessings for those two Egyptian boys.While they had nothing material to give,they gave me something greater.a(chǎn)n awareness of my spiritual poverty and a desire for a softer heart.
56.Which of the following serves as the best title for the story?B
A.An Unforgettable Trip.              B.Beggars Who Gave.

A.paid a visit to Cairo in winter to help the poor
B.bought cookies and coffees for the two boys
C.traveled with chop cookies in his bag occasionally
D.went hungry at times in order to save money

A.They pretended to behave politely.
B.They had eaten too much to have more.
C.They felt content with what they had got.
D.They intended to test the writer's sincerity.
59.Which of the following can best describe the writer?A
