D. $96.BSeveral years ago, I had to replace a receptionist for my unit. Before I advertised for the position, I was approached by another

8、manager, and asked if I would consider a transfer from his staff instead 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 dif

9、ficulties 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 w

10、ould 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 turned o

11、ut, 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 and hated to see a new work da

12、y 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 What started out as a shy, withdrawn and frightened employee turned out to be one of the most productive and loyal employee that I had ever worked with. Maria couldnt do enough and was constantly asking for more responsibility. I was more than hap

13、py 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

14、mirror, from time to time, to see what we are really like.4. After hearing his colleagues description of Maria, the writer thought that Maria _ .A. attempted to settle the issuesB. was a problem to her bossC. shouldnt stay in the companyD. could get on well with others5. Why did Maria fail to perfor

15、m well in her previous job?A. Her previous job was not suitable for her.B. She had difficulty responding to her manager.C. Her boss didnt inspire her working enthusiasm.D. Her boss showed no trust in her ability.6. We can infer that before working with the author, Maria _.A. was not welcome by her c

16、olleagues B. wanted to transfer her positionC. didnt like her bossD. felt frustrated at her work7. The writer probably believes that a good boss should _.A. praise and award his employees a lotB. respect, praise and encourage his employeesC. greet his employees and give them much workD. always give

17、his employees guidance in workingCAccording to a new US study，couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall. The research by Angelina Grigoryeva，from Princeton University，found that，while women

18、 provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage，men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 old Americans concluded that gender(性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or n

19、ot people will actively care for their elderly parents. In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco，she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care. Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retireme

20、nt Study，a study which has been tracking a crosssection of over50s for the last decade，she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours. “Sons reduce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister，while daughters

21、 increase theirs when they have a brother.” “This suggests that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to their sisters.” In the UK，the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities，a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade. But many are

22、doing so at the risk of their health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a fulltime job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts who are not carers.8. According to the passage，whats th

23、e most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly?AEducation.BGender.CCareer. DIncome.9The US study finds that _.Ahaving a sister makes men less likely to look after their parentsBsons are twice as likely as daughters to care for parents in old ageCsons and daughters se

Thin

26、k of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookC turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification nu

27、mber to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it. Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you mee

28、t and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.” Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it. People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.

29、 E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home. BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” a

30、nd not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.12. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are. B. To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading. D. To encourage r

31、eaders to share their ideas.13. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?A. The book. B. An adventure. C.A public place. D. The identification number.14. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B. Keep it safe in his bookcase. C.

32、Pass it on to another reader. D. Mail it back to its owner.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B. Electronic Books: A new Trend C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D. A Website Links People through Books第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项

Thats why we still need to read him today.F. I already know who it is Ill meet in those novels.G. These are all wonderful reasons to read Dic

34、kens.Walk into any bookstore, and you can hardly avoid “bumping into” Charles Dickens. Many of Dickens works still sell well today. 16 As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. 17 One day nearly 10 years ago, however, when I was giving a lecture, I wa

35、s telling the students that for Victorian readers, Dickenss writing was a “tune-in-next-week” type of thing that generated crazes. 18 “But why should we still read this stuff?” the student asked. The answer I gave was only acceptable, “Because he teach you how to think,” I said.The question annoyed

36、me for years, for years, and for years I told myself answers, but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he is not just a man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because we can learn from experiences of his characters almost as easily as we can learn fr

37、om our own experiences. 19 But these are not exactly the reason why I read Dickens. My search for an answer continued until one day a text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickenss novels,” she wrote, “because they tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was, thats the expla

38、nation I had sought for years.Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and worst of times. 20 If you have time, go to pick up one of his many novels, read it and enjoy what it has to tell you about yourself.第二部分 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的
