Sometimes they try to remember a solution from t
21、he last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stag
22、es in analyzing a problem.First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sams bicycle is broken, and he cannot read it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle
23、, he must find the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance,
24、 suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.After studying the problem, the person sh
25、ould have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the f
26、inal idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem : he must clean the gear wheels.Finally the
27、solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.46What is the best title for this passage?ASix Stages for Repairing Sams Bicycle.BPossible Ways to Problem-solving.CNecessities of Problem Analysis.DSuggestions f
28、or Analyzing a Problem.47In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except .Arecognize and define the problemBlook for information to make the problem clearerChave suggestions for a possible solutionDfind a solution by trial or mistake48By referring to Sams broken bicycle, the author inte
29、nds to .Aillustrate the ways to repair his bicycle Bdiscuss the problems of his bicycleCtell us how to solve a problemDshow us how to analyse a problem49Which of the following is NOT true?APeople do not analyze the problem they meet.BPeople often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.CPeople
30、may learn from their past experience.DPeople can not solve some problems they meet.50As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short” means .Ain the long runBin detailCin a wordDin the endBScholars and researchers have tried to discover what personality characteristics go along with success in in
31、tercultural experiences. Their findings have often been unclear or incomplete. But three characteristics stand out in their reports: patience, a sense of humor, and the awareness of being unclear.Patience, of course, is the ability to keep calm even when things do not go as one wants them to, or hop
32、es they will, or has even been sure they will. Impatience sometimes brings improvements in relations with other people, but usually it does not. A person with a sense of humor is less likely to take things too seriously and more ready to see the humor in her own reactions than is a humorless person.
33、 The value of a sense of humor really needs to be paid more attention to.“The awareness of being unclear” is a more difficult concept than patience or a sense of humor. Foreigners often find themselves in situations that are unclear to the newcomers. That is, they do not know what is happening in th
34、e situation. Perhaps they do not understand the local language well enough, or they do not know how some system or organization works, or they cant be sure of different peoples roles in what is going on. “Its like I just got here from the moon,” a Chinese graduate student who newly arrived in the Un
35、ited States said, “things are just so different here.”51The passage mainly tells us .Athat its not easy to travel abroadBthat humor is very important in communicationCof some characteristics in dealing with foreignersDof three main ways useful for communicating with foreigners52According to the pass
36、age, what characteristic should be most focused on?APatienceBThe awareness of being unclearCThe sense of humorDUnderstanding each other.53 “The awareness of being unclear” refers to .Aknowing the meaning of an exact situationBnot stating clearly what happensCrealizing the possible misunderstanding i
37、n a situationDbeing aware of the unclear situation54According to the writer, the Chinese students is .Aa hard-working studentBrecently back from the moonCinterested in the study of moonDnot used to the culture in America55Which of the following can best sum up the passage?AIt is necessary to learn t
38、he language before you go to the country.BAmericans are used to the culture of other countries.COne needs many characteristics to live in another country.DTo live in a foreign land one should get fully prepared.CThere are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. Yo
39、u find these careers in engineering, in production ,in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are
40、capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists”. And these “generalists” are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other peop
41、le, to organize other peoples work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands on field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained” man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalistand especially the administratordeals with people; his
42、 concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated” man; and the humanities are his strangest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organ
43、ization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for youbut thi
44、s is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for bei
45、ng an employee.56The phrase “seeing the forest rather than the trees” means “ ” Abeing able to do the field workBspecializing in one areaCknowing large areas generallyDbeing concerned about environmental problems.57There is an increasing demand for .Aallround people in their own fieldsBpeople whose
46、job is to organize other peoples workCgeneralists whose educational background is either technical or professionalDspecialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others58What is a major difference between a specialist and an administrator?AA generalist is more professional
47、than a specialistBA specialist is better educated than a generalistCA specialist deals with technique while a generalist works with people.DA specialist needs training while a generalist gives training.59During your training period, it is important to .

74、days due to more and more objection from people.As a fact, setting off fireworks can cause serious damage. First ,it can easily cause fire, which threatens peoples property and lives. The dropping of fire caused by fireworks in cities has proved the benefit of the ban itself. Second, fireworks can b
75、e a threat to peoples health and the environment, because they cause noise pollution and air pollution. On the other hand, the ban makes the traditional festival less attractive, which in long term does harm to the relationship between family members and peoples value on the Chinese tradition. The f
76、act that more and more people, especially the younger generation, turn to celebrate foreign festivals is really worrying.In my opinion, to let people experience more fun, to let more people hold on to the Chinese tradition and value, we should lift the ban , but only during the Spring Festival. Meanwhile, we should urge all citizens to be on alert during the period, and departments involved should get prepared for emergency.
