Cooperation at work is generally seen as a good thing. The latest survey by the Financial Times of what employers want from MBA graduates found that the ability to work with a wide variety of people was what managers wanted most. But managers always have to balance the benefits of teamwork, which help ensure that everyone is working towards the same goal, with the dangers of “groupthink” when critics are reluctant to point out a plan’s drawbacks for fear of being kept out of the group. The disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961 was a classic case of groupthink. Skeptics were reluctant to challenge John F. Kennedy, the newly elected American president. Modern communication methods mean that cooperation is more frequent. Workers are constantly in touch with each other via e-mail messaging groups or mobile calls. But does that improve, or lower performance? A new study by three American academics, tried to answer this question. They set a logical problem (designing the shortest route for a travelling salesman visiting various cities). Three groups were involved: one where subjects acted independently; another where they saw the solutions posted by team members at every stage; and a third where they were kept informed of each other’s views only intermittently. The survey found that members of the individualist group reached the premier solution more often than the constant cooperators but had a poorer average result. The intermittent cooperators found the right result as often as the individualists, and got a better average solution. When it comes to ideal generation, giving people a bit of space to a solution seems to be a good idea. Occasional cooperation can be a big help: most people have benefited from a colleague’s brainwave or (just as often) wise advice to avoid a particular course of action. Further clues come from a book, Superminds, by Thomas Malone of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He says that three factors determine the collective intelligence of cooperating groups: social intelligence (how good people were at rating the emotional states of others); the extent to which members took part equally in conversation (the more equal, the better); and the cooperation of women in the group (the higher, the better). Groups ranked highly in these areas cooperated far better than others. In short, cooperation may be a useful tool but it doesn’t work in every situation. 【1】The author cites the example of The Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in paragraph 1 to _______. A. prove that team players are skilled at communication B. show that teamwork cannot always be beneficial C. prove that critics are unwilling to challenge anybody D. show the danger of groupthink is not very serious 【2】The underlined phrase “the intermittent cooperators” in paragraph 3 refers to _______. A. those who do not cooperate but reach the best solution B. those who are seldom informed of other’s views C. those who cooperate with others occasionally D. the constant cooperators with a poor average result 【3】Which of the following factors makes a team cooperate better? A. Group members cooperating all the time. B. Group members in a good emotional state. C. Equal distribution of men and women. D. Equal participation in the communication. 【4】Which can be the best title of the passage? A. When Teamwork Works B. What Teamwork Is About C. How Teamwork Operates D. A Useful Tool: Cooperation |

When Emanuel received an email from Professor Richard English. Queen’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor at the School of History, Anthropology,Philosophy and Politics, encouraging him to apply for a PhD in Politics in Belfast, it was a pinch-me moment Emanual never thought would be possible. After all, just a few short years ago, he was living on the streets couch-surfing at friends’ houses and weeding gardens to make ends meet. Now, one of the world’s leading political academics was preparing to welcome him to Queen’s University over 4,000 miles away. Emanuel never knew who his father was and his mom was mentally ill when she gave birth to him, so the hospital took him off her and he was unofficially adopted for the first few years of his life. What followed was a childhood with uncertainty as Emanuel was passed between the adoption system and family members. Through his high school and community college years, he moved from house to house, living with friends at times and living on the streets at others. Determined to change all that despite his rocky start in life, Emanuel involved himself in school-doing everything he could to earn extra tuition (学费) money in his spare time. But getting accepted into university was scarcely possible because a person like him couldn’t get a regular student loan. Fortunately, the government backed him, having created a policy allowing disadvantaged persons to access funding for higher education. He graduated from the University of the West Indies with a 1st Class Honors degree and went on to do his Masters. Emanuel knows that his story could have been very different. “I discovered Professor Richard English online and sent him an email honestly, not thinking he would reply and to my surprise, he did. I applied for the highly competitive Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme in order to fund my research at Queen’s. When I was told I was successful, my whole world changed.” 【1】What does the underlined word “pinch-me” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A.Expected. B.Unbelievable. C.Awkward. D.Anxious. 【2】What happened to Emanuel in his childhood? A.His father was mentally ill. B.He was abandoned by his mother. C.He was once adopted by his relatives. D.He lived with his friends now and then. 【3】How did Emanuel afford his university education? A.By receiving a regular student loan. B.By earning the tuition all by himself. C.By borrowing the money from friends. D.By getting support from the government. 【4】What can we learn from Emanuel’s story? A.Well begun is half done. B.It’s never too old to learn. C.You are the master of your life. D.Lost time is never found again. |

D We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices(装置) well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things. To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation — Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007. As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions（排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window. So what's the solution（解决方案）? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%. 【1】What does the author think of new devices? A. They are environment-friendly. B. They are no better than the old. C. They cost more to use at home. D. They go out of style quickly. 【2】Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research? A. To reduce the cost of minerals. B. To test the life cycle of a product. C. To update consumers on new technology. D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices. 【3】Which of the following uses the least energy? A. The box-set TV. B. The tablet. C. The LCD TV. D. The desktop computer. 【4】What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices? A. Stop using them. B. Take them apart. C. Upgrade them. D. Recycle them. |

Variety is the spice of language. The words listed in this book are not intended to replace those that most people use most of the time. Rather, they are variations of the theme. We tend to use the same old words over and over again, to limit our power of expression by limiting our vocabulary. There is nothing wrong with the “old words”. 【1】 How often have you spoken of having an accident? 【2】 Everyone talks of the usual thing to do or expect. Might not one, to enrich his speech, speak of the customary thing or why not occasionally describe a situation as aggravated instead of worsened? 【3】 Vary them with the “new words”. English is an especially rich language, and often there are tiny differences between two words that are generally regarded as the same. Thus, a mishap (小事故) is not merely an accident; it is an unfortunate accident. (There can be fortunate accidents, like bumping into an old friend you haven’t seen for years and whose address you’ve lost.) 【4】 Other examples: fragrant, for smelling good, or having a nice smell; morsel, for bit; deft, for skillful or clever. No doubt a good many words in the list will be familiar to you, but do you use them, or do they remain the “property” of others? They are included to introduce the variety, into your speech and writing. 【5】 Let them compete, and make your language all the richer. A.Don’t throw away the “old words”. B.Our interest in learning will be discouraged. C.But why not enhance your speech and writing by learning to use new ones from time to time as alternatives? D.English words are grouped according to their origins. E.Can we use the alternative mishap once in a while? F.So, using mishap instead of accident, you must be sure of the distinction. G.Try to make these words your own, as companions or friendly rivals of the ones you have managed with in the past. |

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。 Amanda felt as gray as the sky outside when she looked across the table at her three-year-old sister. Li sat on a booster scat, drinking from her sippy cup. Wondering why Li was still afraid of her, Amanda took a cookie off her plate and held it out to Li, “Want a bite?” As soon as Li saw Amanda reaching over, her eyes widened. She jumped down from her seat and raced to her room. What an annoyance! Amanda complained to Mom that she had thought being a big sister would be fun. Mom took Amanda’s hand reminding her that Li was in a new country with a new family and how scared she might be. “Honey, she is still getting used to you,” Mom added. “It’s only been two weeks.” Over a year ago, Amanda’s parents said that they were adopting a daughter from China, and Amanda had danced with excitement. She’d dreamed of taking her sister to the park, reading books to her, and teaching her to ride a bicycle. That hadn’t happened, though. In the weeks since their trip to China, Li had only let their mom and dad near her. Amanda had drawn pictures for her, read to her, and made funny faces, but none had worked. Whenever she got close, Li ran away. “I just wish I knew how to help her,” Amanda said to herself, thinking of Li’s frightened eyes. As she sat onto the couch, she turned on the TV and began to watch a cartoon about a dog and a cat. After a few seconds, Amanda realized that the cartoon was in another language. The show looked funny, but she didn’t understand any of it. She frowned, turning off the TV. It reminded her of when they were in China. She had got frustrated when people talked in Mandarin, the language spoken in Li’s province. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “That’s it,” Amanda sped to her room. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mom came to the door and found them sitting side by side. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
