3.Today's workplace is unique in history.Never before have we seen people working together who represent such different backgrounds and experiences.This difference of age,race,gender,and work style makes it very difficult to organize and run a company.
As a result,companies are looking for individuals who can manage a wide range of employees effectively.Increasingly,managers are discovering that age differences among workers are a major cause of concern.
This has been an important realization.The management difficulties and challenges have led some experts to study intergenerational differences for an understanding of problems in the workplace.What they have discovered is interesting and may provide ways of improving working conditions in companies that employ individuals from different generations.
The first thing to realize,they say,is that differences of opinion about the importance of work and how to get work done are not a coincidence.That is,it is not an accident that young employees will be different from older employees.In fact,if employers do not pay attention to these differences,it is possible that anger will build up between people and lead to difficulties in the company.
Resentment (仇恨) between members of different generations,if not attended to,can lead to extreme anger and unhappiness and even lasting enmity if people are not careful.That individuals from different generations should come to view each other as if they were from different sides of warring countries should not be surprising.
It is natural for individuals from the same generation to form alliances (聯盟),to come together for protection.Different generations represent different experiences in life,and these lead naturally to different opinions about oneself and one's approaches to work.
If you were raised in a time of plenty,when products were readily available and relatively inexpensive,you would believe that prosperity is natural and expectable.If,on the other hand,you were raised in a time of scarcity,you would always be careful not to waste things for fear you would not have enough.You would make angry people who seem to believe that problems will always solve themselves.Such optimism in the face of difficulties would be a source of unhappiness between you and them.It is difficult,in such circumstances,to achieve a happy,agreeable atmosphere in the workplace.

84.What most possibly makes it difficult to organize or run a company?A
A.Employees are in different generations.
B.Employees are of different backgrounds.
C.Employees work in different styles.
D.Employees are in different races.
85.Employers should pay attention toB if they want to avoid anger between employees.
A.the different understanding of problems in the workplace
B.the different views on value of work and working methods
C.the different generations of employees in the workplace
D.the different ways of expressing anger in the company
86.The word"enmity"is closet in meaning toA.
A.hatred                     B.sorrows            C.ignorance                D.forgiveness
87.What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage?D
A.Employees should be cooperative and friendly with each other.
B.It is difficult for employers to have workers work in a friendly way.
C.The weakness of human nature causes the anger between employees.
D.The generational differences cause the disharmony among employees.

分析 本文屬于議論文的范疇.主要描述了雇員間的年齡差異很容易導致矛盾,給公司的發(fā)展造成困擾,生于不同時代的人對事物的看法不同,所以人們對生活的態(tài)度與生長的時代有很大關系.

解答 84-87.ABAD
84.A 推理判斷題.根據第一段中的"This difference of age,race,gender,and work style makes it very difficult to organize and run a company."以及第二段中的"Increasingly,managers are discovering that age differences among workers are a major cause of concern."可知,雇員間年齡、種族、脾氣和工作風格的不同都會給公司的經營造成困難,而其中年齡的差異是最主要的,故選A.
85.B 推理判斷題.根據第四段中的"The first thing to realize,they say,is that differences of opinion about the importance of work and how to get work done are not a coincidence."可知,年齡的差異首先表現在對工作重要性的認識和工作方法上的不同,所以要避免雇員間的矛盾,要特別注意這一點.故選B.
86.A 詞義猜測題.hatred怨恨,敵意;sorrows悲傷;ignorance忽視;forgiveness原諒.根據本句話可知,如果不注意的話,雇員間的矛盾會發(fā)展為憤怒,甚至互相敵視,故選A.
87.D 主旨大意題.根據文章可知,雇員間的年齡差異很容易導致矛盾,給公司的發(fā)展造成困擾,故選D.

點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據文章所述事件的邏輯關系,對未說明的趨勢或結局作出合理的推斷;或根據作者所闡述的觀點理論,對文章未涉及的現象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準確把握作者觀點.

11.What is the number one favourite pet in the UK?If you think the answer is"dog"-you are wrong.There are 8.6million cats and 8.3million dogs in Britain according to recent figures.But experts predict (預測) that there will be more dogs than cats next year as dogs become more and more popular.
Dogs as accessories (配飾)
We like to spend time with our pets.The Queen is famous for her corgis (威爾士矮腳狗) and is often photographed with them.Nowadays some dog owners are more extreme-a few TV celebrities even take their dogs shopping or to restaurants.Chihuahuas (吉娃娃犬) are especially popular as"handbag dogs"because they are so small.
Dog holidays
People are also giving their pets holidays.Many UK hotels and holiday parks now welcome dogs as guests.What about owners who go abroad?They can leave their pets at a dog hotel or dog spa while they are away.Some even provide their canine (犬) guests with a TV.
Dogs are for life
The British charity,Dogs Trust,finds homes for thousands of lost and homeless dogs every year.Their famous slogan"A dog is for life and not just for Christmas"was created in the 1970s to teach people about the responsibility of owning a dog.Dogs Trust told British people not to give dogs as gifts or treat them like toys.
Dogs on TV
Victoria Sitwell is the host of the popular TV programme called"It's me or the dog".In the show Victoria helps dog owners with their pets'bad behavior.She tries to find solutions to problems such as a Dalmatian who thinks he owns the house and won't let the family sit on the sofa,dogs that will only eat ice cream and biscuits and even a bulldog who uses the owner's bed as a toilet.Yuck!
Fashion for dogs
You can shop online or on the high street for the latest in dog clothes and accessories.Specialist shops sell items such as dog boots,dog fancy dress costumes,dog coats,dog dresses and dog pants.
56.What does the article mainly talk about?B
A.Cats as number one favorite pet in the UK.

B.Dog owners should not use dogs as Christmas gifts.
C.Dog owners should care for the dogs more than anything else.

18.If you have a daughter,take the time to read this.It could save her a lot of heartache.Not to mention stomach aches,headaches,missed days of school,lower grades,eating issues and depression.
The sad truth is that every school,whether public or private,has mean girls.I bet you can still even remember who they are from your school.As a school consultant and mother of three daughters,I know firsthand both personally and professionallyhow much it hurts when girls are targeted by bullies(恃強凌弱者).
The old saying"sticks and stones may break my bones,but words will never hurt me,"couldn't be further from the truth.While boys usually bully through intimidation (脅迫),girls bully through exclusion,also called relational aggression.Here's an example of a case of relational bullying,taken from my experience as a school consultant:
"Heather"was miserable because a girl in her class,"Leslie,"was not only saying mean things to her face,but getting the other girls in the class to exclude her with the age old line"You can't be friends with me,if you're friends with her."In our sessions,Heather would complain that she didn't have anyone to play with because girls were afraid that if they hung around her they'd become Leslie's next target.
In order to improve the situation,I had to not only reduce the power Leslie had,but empower Heather as well.Here are some ideas that helped,adapted for use by parents:
Ask for specifics when your daughter mentions bullying.Who?Where?How?
Tell the principal and classroom teacher the specifics of how she is being bullied.Have them tell other teachers (i.e.,gym,art,music),hallway monitors and cafeteria staff so that everyone who comes in contact with her can be on the lookout and ready to interfere.
Explain to her that reporting an incident is not the same as tattling(打小報告),and have her tell an adult at school when she is being bullied.
Teach her to convey self-confidence by walking confidently,with her head up.Bullies target those they think are weaker.
Arrange opportunities for your daughter to socialize with her friends outside of school to help her maintain a strong social support system.
In Heather's case,these steps relieved the problem.But because it's tougher to catch girl bullies,it's extremely important for girls to tell an adult if they are being bullied.Unlike boys,who usually bully physically,mean girls often spread rumors,whisper as their target walks by,talk loudly about a party she wasn't invited to,give her the silent treatment,and as discussed above,tell others not to be friends with her.School personnel are there to help,but in order to do anything they must know a problem exists!

8.Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg,a distance of about eighty miles.It was late.Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left,and I became increasingly impatient.
At one point along an open road,I came to a crossing with a traffic light.I was alone on the road by now,but as I drove near the light,it turned red and I made a stop.I looked left,right and behind me.Nothing.Not a car,no suggestion of car lamps,but there I sat,waiting for the light to change,the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering why I refused to run the light.I was not afraid of being caught,because there was clearly no policeman around,and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night,the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me.I think I stopped because it's part of a contract we all have with each other.It's not only the law,but it's an agreement we have,and we trust each other to honor it:we don't go through red lights.
Trust is our first inclination(傾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us.The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互的)trust,not distrust.We do what we say we'll do,we show up when we say we'll show up;and we pay when we say we'll pay.We trust each other in these matters,and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.
I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.

25.Why did the author get impatient while driving?B
A.He was lonely on the road.
B.He was slowed down by a truck.
C.He got tired of driving too long.
D.He came across too many traffic lights.
26.What was the author's immediate action when the traffic light turned red?A
A.Stopping still.
B.Driving through it.
C.Looking around for other cars.
D.Cheeking out for traffic police.
27.The event made the author strongly believe thatD.
A.traffic rules may be unnecessary                    
B.doubting others is human nature
C.patience is important to drivers               
D.a society needs mutual trust
28.Why was the author proud of himself?D
A.He kept his promise.
B.He held back his anger.
C.He followed his inclination.
D.He made a right decision.
