12、ample. To do this, women on the board are also more likely to use others in the decision making process, which leads to a much more cooperative feeling within the company itself. As a consequence, female influenced companies are generally more successful than those only in the charge of males. Of th
13、e 600 board members studied, 75 percent were male and it found men were more likely to make decisions based on rules, regulations and traditional methods. Women, however, were more likely to try new ways. Professor Bart said, “Weve known for some time that companies that have more women on their boa
14、rds have better results. ”Our findings show that having women on the board is no longer just the right thing but also the smart thing to do. “Companies with few female directors may actually be shortchanging their investors.”Gregory McQueen said, “Women seem to be more inquisitive and to see more po

21、t dance music. He is coming to Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai on November 1820 as part of his world tour in support of his new CD. One of the main roles of music has always been going with dancing. However, todays dance music is very different from that of the past. The history of dance music goes
22、back to the 16th century. In the Renaissance(文艺复兴)and Baroque(巴洛克)period of Europe, rich people expected to be able to dance at social events. Each type of dance gave rise to its own form of music.During the 18th and 19th centuries the most popular dances were the waltz(华尔兹舞)and the polka(波尔卡舞). In
23、this period, dances were often written for the concert hall. For example, symphonies(交响乐)would have a waltz movement, and piano pieces were sometimes in the waltz or polka.In the 1970s, dance music moved into new places called discos. The music was faster, had more bass and started to become more el

Quite oft
28、en there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names：One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old
29、habits die_hard，and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.Many roads and places in Singapore are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping
30、with traditions in many countriesin both the West and the East.Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads we
31、re named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circusobviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those place
32、s. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example. “Bras Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay(马来语). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”？ The reason is simple. During the pioneering days，wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There
33、 is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent (月牙)because it begins on the main road，makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.12We learn from Paragraph 1 that _.A. the gove
34、rnment is usually the first to name a placeB. many places tend to have more than one nameC. a ceremony will be held when a place is namedD. people prefer the place names given by the government答案：B推理判断题。从第一段第四句“Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named.”可知应选B项。13What does the un
35、derlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Change suddenly. B. Change significantly.C. Disappear mysteriously. D. Disappear very slowly.答案：D猜测词义题。从die hard后的“. and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.”的意思判断die hard的词义应为：消失得很慢。14Which
36、 of the following places is named after a person?A. Raffles Place. B. Selector Airbase.C. Piccadilly Circus. D. Paya Lebar Crescent.答案：A事实细节题。根据第二段的第一句(特别是pioneers“先驱者”一词)和第二句的内容得知：Raffles Place应是指先驱者的名字。15Bras Basah Road is named_.Aafter a personBafter a placeCafter an activityDby its shape答案：C事实细节
37、题。根据第四段的第一句和第二句可以很明确地判断：Bras Basah是活动名称。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。选项中有两项为多余选项。MuzakThe next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen.
