It therefore needs to test a candidate in the most appropriate way to discover how suitable he or she may be. A good interview process should involve careful ___14___ of job applicants and ___15___ questions that every applicant gets asked. But that’s not always the case. Alison Green is an author and creator of the workplace advice column ‘Ask a Manager’. She told the BBC that some companies “give their interviewers little or no ___16___ and often leave them completely on their own when it comes to figuring out what to ask job candidates.” She mentions that some interviewers are too ___17___ and some focus on building a good rapport (友善) and end up hiring the candidate they just ‘clicked with’, regardless of their skills and abilities. A(n) ___18___ interviewer may think it’s clever to ask ‘if you were an animal, what kind would you be?’ That has been asked, Alison Green says, but in reality this has no connection with the job. And there have been inappropriate ___19___, such as one job seeker being asked to show the interviewer the inside of her handbag to ____20____ how organized she was.

Many times I have been able to help people heal ___25___ by simply reawakening a cherished memory of a much happier and more unconditionally loving relationship with a grandparent.

Putting a photo of his grandad on his desk helped Alan keep his promise to himself to maintain better balance in his life.

Recent research revealed that in Britain, one out of twenty grandparents is likely to have had no ___29___ whatsoever with at least one of their grandchildren during the past five years. There are many reasons for this new distancing of generations. Sometimes, it’s mere ___30___ that keeps them apart. I recently met a woman who proudly showed me a picture of her family in Australia. Unfortunately she told me, she hadn’t ever visited them, and hadn’t even seen her five-year-old granddaughter. The ___31___ aspect of this story was that, however sad this situation was for both parties, there appeared to be no bitterness or hatred. But many grandparents feel quite ___32___.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama. Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view. Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.. Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it. This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured (捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized (使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house. Perhaps we all live in each others' spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, and that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us. That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass. 36. What happened when the author was about to take a photo? A. Her camera stopped working. B. A woman blocked her view. C. Someone asked her to leave. D. A friend approached from behind. 37. According to the author, the woman was probably . A. enjoying herself B. losing her patience C. waiting for the sunset D. thinking about her past 38. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive? A. The rich color of the landscape. B.

A. a particular life experience B. the pleasure of traveling C. the art of photography D. a lost friendship 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. C 39. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。这篇文章主要向我们描述了作者无奈拍摄的一张被女人干扰的照片却显得尤为生动，通过这件事作者也明白了共享的美丽。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view.”（不幸的是，正当我拿出我的相机时，一个女人从后面出来，刚好置身于我的视线之前）可知，一位女士挡住了作者的视线。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“She seemed so content in her observation.”（她似乎很满意自己的所见）可知，这位女士可能玩的很开心。故选A。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.”（现在，当我看着这张照片时，我觉得她在照片中的存在让照片更有趣。风景本身很美丽，不知怎么的，因为这位女士的存在而显得更加生动）可知，这位女士在照片里的存在使照片更加生动。故选C。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。最后两段内容“Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, and that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.”（或许这就这张照片的意义：提醒我们，我们都欣赏美，我们都有共同的渴望，渴望快乐、渴望联系、渴望比我们更伟大的东西。这张照片是一个提醒，一个捕捉到的瞬间，以及两个女人之间隔着薄薄方形玻璃的无声对话）可知，这是作者对这次特殊经历的感悟。由此推知，这篇文章可以看做是作者对一次特殊经历的深入思考。故选A。 (B) Nest (T3007ES) Learning Thermostat (恒温器), Easy Temperature Control for Every Room in Your House.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了亚马逊网站上Nest的一款恒温器产品的相关信息。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据READ THE DISPLAY FROM ACROSS THE ROOM部分的“The Nest Thermostat does something new. It’s called Farsight, and it lights up to show you the temperature, weather or time. You can even choose a digital or analog (模拟的) clock face. Farsight is big and bright on the beautiful display — you can see it from across the room. (Nest恒温器做了一件新的事情。它被称为Farsight，它会发光显示温度、天气或时间。你甚至可以选择数字或模拟的钟面。Farsight在漂亮的显示屏上又大又亮——你可以从房间的另一边看到它)”可知，这款恒温器可以在显示屏上显示温度、天气或时间，配备了电子显示系统，故B项“It is equipped with electronic system.(它配有电子系统)”是正确表述。故选B项。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据SAVE ENERGY WITH NEST部分的“With four beautiful colors to choose from and an easy-to-read display, this thermostat will help make your home not only smart but energy efficient. With just a few manual adjustments, the Nest Thermostat can learn your habits and start to save you money by automatically adjusting the temperature. (有四种漂亮的颜色可供选择，易于阅读的显示屏，这款恒温器将使您的家不仅智能而且节能。只需进行一些手动调整，Nest恒温器就能了解你的习惯，并开始通过自动调节温度来为你省钱)”可知，这款恒温器可以学习用户的作息时间，自动调节温度，帮助有效节能，所以B项和C项是该产品的好处；根据WORKS WITH NEST部分的“Nest devices not only communicate with each other but also with the other smart devices around your home. (Nest设备不仅可以相互通信，还可以与家中其他智能设备通信)”和Technical Specifications部分中“·Wi-Fi connection access(·Wi-Fi连接接入)”可知，这款恒温器支持远程控制，可连接Wi-Fi，由此推知，它也可以通过手机来远程控制，所以A项是该产品的好处。文中没有提到它可以抗压力和震动，D项不属于其好处。故选D项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。房子有两层，想要恒温器独立工作，意味着需要两个恒温器，根据产品图片旁最低的价格信息“Stainless Steel used from $145.99 (不锈钢 145.99美元起)”可知，至少应支付145.99+145.99=291.98美元。故选C项。 (C) Many employees must be tempted to query on a daily basis when they see their bosses headed down the wrong track. But caution, for fear of appearing insubordinate or foolish and thus possibly at risk of losing their jobs, often leads workers to keep silent. A culture of silence can be dangerous, argues a new book, “The Fearless Organization”, by Amy Edmondson, a professor at Harvard Business School. Some of her examples are from the airline industry. One was its deadliest accident: a crash between Boeing 747s in the Canary Islands in 1977 when a co-pilot felt unable to query his captain’s decision to take off based on a misunderstanding of instructions from air-traffic control. The risks may be lower than life or death in most organizations, but companies also suffer when people keep silent, Ms Edmondson believes. Volkswagen was caught up in a scandal(丑闻) over diesel(柴油)emissions from 2015. The engines of its diesel models did not meet American emissions standards and engineers devised a system to fool the regulators. Ms Edmondson says the company’s culture had been one based on threaten and fear; Ferdinand Piëch, its longtime boss, boasted of telling engineers they had six weeks to improve the bodywork fitting on pain of dismissal. In the circumstances, engineers were understandably unwilling to mention the bad news on emissions standards and instead worked around the problem. In a corporate culture based on fear and intimidation, it may appear that targets are being achieved in the short term. But in the long run the effect is likely to be counterproductive. Studies show that fear inhibits learning. And when confronted with a problem, scared workers find ways of covering it up or getting around it with inefficient practices. The answer is to create an atmosphere of “psychological safety” whereby workers can speak their minds. In a sense, this is the equivalent of Toyota’s “lean manufacturing” process, which allows any worker who spots a problem to stop the production line. This does not mean that workers, or their ideas, are immune from criticism, or that they should complain incessantly. As mundane(平凡的)tasks are automated, and workers rely on computers for data analysis, the added value of humans will stem from their creativity. But as Ms Edmondson’s book amply demonstrates, it is hard to be either constructive or creative if you are not confident about speaking out. 43. The underlined word “insubordinate” means . A. being inferior B. disobeying a superior C. getting aggressive D. being ignorant 44. We can conclude from Paragraph 3 that . A. Volkswagen’s engineers designed a system to meet American emissions standards B. when facing problems, scared workers resolve them directly C. Volkswagen’s engineers were at risk of losing jobs D. the culture of fear and intimidation must be counterproductive in the long term. 45. Which of the following is TRUE according to the author? A. A culture of being silent can be life-threatening. B. The risk of keeping silent is not necessarily associated with life and death. C. Volkswagen’s culture is on the basis of fear. D. The value of humans lies in originality in today’s highly-automated world. 46. What is the passage mainly about? A. An introduction to Amy Edmondson’s new book. B. The disadvantages of fear and intimidation culture. C. Companies will perform better if employees are not threatened into silence. D. People need to be confident when they are speaking out. 【答案】43. B 44. C 45. D 46. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了许多员工每天看到自己的老板走错了路，一定会忍不住去询问。但谨慎往往导致员工保持沉默，因为他们害怕显得不服从上级或愚蠢，从而可能面临失去工作的风险。但哈佛商学院教授Amy Edmondson在其新书《无所畏惧的组织》中指出，沉默的文化是危险的，认为当员工都保持沉默时，企业也会遭受损失。并列举了大众公司的事例来说明这一观点和解决办法。 【43题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上文Many employees must be tempted to query on a daily basis when they see their bosses headed down the wrong track. But caution, for fear of appearing可知许多员工每天看到自己的老板走错了路，一定会忍不住去询问。但谨慎往往导致员工保持沉默，因为他们害怕显得不服从上级或愚蠢，从而可能面临失去工作的风险。由此可知，划线单词意思为“不服从上级”。故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中Ms Edmondson says the company’s culture had been one based on threaten and fear; Ferdinand Piëch, its longtime boss, boasted of telling engineers they had six weeks to improve the bodywork fitting on pain of dismissal.可知Edmondson表示，该公司的文化是建立在威胁和恐惧之上的；Ferdinand Piëch，公司长期的老板，曾夸口说他们有六周的时间来改进车身装配，否则就会被解雇。由此可推知，大众的工程师面临失业的危险。故选C。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中As mundane(平凡的)tasks are automated, and workers rely on computers for data analysis, the added value of humans will stem from their creativity.可知随着日常工作被自动化，员工依赖电脑进行数据分析，人类的附加值将来自于他们的创造力。由此可知，D选项“在当今高度自动化的世界里，人类的价值在于独创性”正确。故选D。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中The risks may be lower than life or death in most organizations, but companies also suffer when people keep silent, Ms Edmondson believes.可知Edmondson认为，在大多数组织中，这种风险可能低于生或死，但当人们保持沉默时，企业也会遭受损失。结合文章主要说明了许多员工每天看到自己的老板走错了路，一定会忍不住去询问。但谨慎往往导致员工保持沉默，因为他们害怕显得不服从上级或愚蠢，从而可能面临失去工作的风险。但哈佛商学院教授Amy Edmondson在其新书《无所畏惧的组织》中指出，沉默的文化是危险的，认为当员工都保持沉默时，企业也会遭受损失。并列举了大众公司的事例来说明这一观点和解决办法。由此可知，这篇文章的主要内容是如果不威胁员工保持沉默，公司会表现得更好。故选C。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. In business, there is a speed difference: It’s the difference between how important firm leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. ____47____ In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that choose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up” improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period. ____48____ They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value). Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference. But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services. In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. ____49____ And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast, performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes. Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. ____50____ That kind of strategy must come from the top. A. How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? B. Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals. C. More haste, less speed, which in the study proves wrong. D. Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed. E. They valued efficiency rather than consideration. F. They encouraged new ways of thinking. 【答案】47. D 48. A 49. F 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了商业领域中速度差异的重要性，并通过研究结果说明了“慢下来以加速”的策略对企业业绩的积极影响，同时指出了战略速度与运营效率之间的区别，强调了战略速度在企业管理中的重要性。 【47题详解】 上文“In business, there is a speed difference: It’s the difference between how important firm leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size.(在商业领域，存在着一种速度差：即公司领导者宣称速度对其竞争战略的重要程度，与公司实际的行动速度之间的差距。无论行业和公司规模如何，这种差异都至关重要。)”提到在商业中有速度差异，即公司领导所说的速度对竞争战略的重要性与公司实际行动速度之间的差异，且这种差异无论行业和公司规模都很重要。选项D“Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.(担心失去竞争优势的公司会花费大量时间和金钱寻找提高速度的方法。)”进一步阐述了公司对速度的重视，与前文关于商业速度差异的话题紧密相关，符合语境。故选D。 【48题详解】 下文“They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value).(它们对“慢”和“快”的含义有着不同的理解。企业有时未能理解运营速度（快速行动）与战略速度（缩短创造价值所需的时间）之间的区别。)”提到企业对“慢”和“快”的含义有着不同的理解，并且对运营速度和战略速度进行解释，说明这里是在探讨一些公司为何在看似违背常规速度理念（花费更多时间却表现更好）的情况下取得成功。选项A“How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better?(他们是如何违背商业物理定律，比竞争对手花费更多时间却表现得更好呢？)”提出了这个疑问，引出下文对原因的解释，符合逻辑。故选A。 【49题详解】 根据上文“In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion.(在我们的研究中，具备战略速度的高绩效公司在必要时总会做出改变。它们对各种想法和讨论持更开放的态度。)”可知，具备战略速度的高绩效公司对各种想法和讨论持更开放的态度。选项F“They encouraged new ways of thinking.(他们鼓励新的思维方式。)”与上文的“对想法和讨论更加开放”相呼应，进一步说明这类公司为了实现战略速度所采取的积极态度，符合语境。故选F。 【50题详解】 上文“Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership.(战略速度是一种领导力。)”提到战略速度即领导力。选项B“Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals.(那些定期花时间把事情做好，而不是一味埋头苦干的团队，在实现业务目标方面更成功。)”延续上文内容，强调了团队在战略速度方面（花时间做对事情而非盲目求快）的重要性，与“战略速度是一种领导力”相契合，从团队角度进一步阐述了战略速度的作用，符合语境。故选B。 51. Directions: road the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. A plan to restore green spaces The UK government has revealed a plan to protect and restore England’s wild life. It focuses on at-risk species by making canals, rivers and streams cleaner and expanding green spaces. The new Environmental Improvement Plan sets goals to create or restore more than 5,000 square kilometres of wildlife habitats across England and restore 400 miles of rivers. It will create or expand 25 national nature reserves. New woodland will also be planted alongside rivers. At the moment, access to green spaces is not equal across the UK. Around 4% of people live more than 10 minutes away from their nearest park. The Environmental Improvement Plan aims to make sure households in England are within a 15-minute walk to a green space. As well as helping more people to act close to nature, the plan should increase England’s biodiversity. A species Survival Fund will be set up to help some of England’s most endangered animals, such as red squirrels (松鼠) and watch rats. The Government has set targets to boost these species by 2030. There are also targets to reduce food waste, glass, metal, paper and plastic by 2028, and to improve the quality of water in rivers. New rules mean that the Government will have to consider the environmental effects of any policy it puts forward. These goals are part of a 25- year plan that was launched in 2018. The aim of the plan is to improve the environment “within a generation” which is roughly 25 years. Although lots of people have welcomed the plan, not everyone is impressed. Pail de Zylva, from the charity Friends of the Earth, said it wasn’t clear enough how the goals would be met and that many of them were like promises the Government had already made but not yet delivered. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】British government plans to preserve the endangered wildlife via water purification and extension of greens. Large-scale restoration of the ecological environment aims to level off the inequality of access to green spaces and to boost biodiversity with the support of a fund. Despite the long-term plan’s pro-environmental intention, some people doubt whether these goals are achievable.

Sleep Is Your Superpower Did you know that you have the ability to reduce your chances of having a car accident, improve your ability to fight off illnesses, and decrease your risk factors for heart disease and Alzheimer’s? Yes. Everyone has that superpower, in fact, we use it every day — sleep. Sleep is one of the most powerful activities ___1___ our bodies undergo. Often times, sleep is thought of as a passive process in which we merely lie in bed and wake up the next morning, with ___2___ happening in between. This could not be ___3___ (far) from the truth. Sleep is vital for learning and for the formation of new memories, growth, and development. The American Society of Sleep Medicine advises adults ___4___ (get) at least 7 hours of sleep each night. Matthew Walker, ___5___ professor of Sleep at the University of California, argues that sleep is the foundation for good health.

In a 2011 study, it ___7___ (report) that lack of sleep increases a person’s risk of getting or dying from heart disease by 45%. When we sleep, the heart relaxes and starts to pump blood at a lower pressure. However, when you do not get enough sleep, your blood pressure goes up and your heart does not relax.

You search for a suitable ___11___, send in an application form and if that goes well, you might be invited for an interview. For some, this is when the ___12___ sets in — you’re going to be faced by a panel of strangers who’ll ___13___ difficult questions at you, and you’ll have to actually prove yourself. But how would you feel if, instead of being naked why you want the job, you’re asked to stand up and dance? From the perspective of a company, it wants to hire the right person because they can make a big difference to the success of the organization. It therefore needs to test a candidate in the most appropriate way to discover how suitable he or she may be. A good interview process should involve careful ___14___ of job applicants and ___15___ questions that every applicant gets asked. But that’s not always the case. Alison Green is an author and creator of the workplace advice column ‘Ask a Manager’. She told the BBC that some companies “give their interviewers little or no ___16___ and often leave them completely on their own when it comes to figuring out what to ask job candidates.” She mentions that some interviewers are too ___17___ and some focus on building a good rapport (友善) and end up hiring the candidate they just ‘clicked with’, regardless of their skills and abilities. A(n) ___18___ interviewer may think it’s clever to ask ‘if you were an animal, what kind would you be?’ That has been asked, Alison Green says, but in reality this has no connection with the job. And there have been inappropriate ___19___, such as one job seeker being asked to show the interviewer the inside of her handbag to ____20____ how organized she was. Talking of inappropriate, the BBC heard from a number of people who were surprised by the questions they were asked in an interview. Mature student Kevin Helton said that “the interviewer asked, ‘you used to be in the Army, how many people have you killed?’” Ⅲ.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. No one warned me that in my early 40s, I would start talking softly and longingly into prams (婴儿车). But when the right time came, I had, of course, every intention of becoming a conscientious, involved ___21___. As a psychotherapist, I am much aware of how life-transforming a good relationship with grandparent can be. It ___22___ so much more than treats, extra quality time and cheap nannying. Good grandparents help build psychological security by making their grandchildren feel part of a much wider and stable supportive family ___23___. They also give them a sense of their place in history and evolution and give their life a meaningful sense of perspective. Even when we reach adulthood, our psychological health can be ___24___ by the relationship that we may or may not have had with our grandparents. I frequently work with people who have a less than perfect relationship with their own parents. Many times I have been able to help people heal ___25___ by simply reawakening a cherished memory of a much happier and more unconditionally loving relationship with a grandparent. Alan was, in his own words, “a hopeless case of workaholism”. He still felt driven by trying to please his ___26___ perfectionist father. But, fortunately, I discovered that he had also ___27___ a much more unconditional kind of love from his calmer, happier and affectionate grandfather. Putting a photo of his grandad on his desk helped Alan keep his promise to himself to maintain better balance in his life. Nowadays, the chances of children and grandparents having intimate, satisfying relationships are fast ___28___. Recent research revealed that in Britain, one out of twenty grandparents is likely to have had no ___29___ whatsoever with at least one of their grandchildren during the past five years. There are many reasons for this new distancing of generations. Sometimes, it’s mere ___30___ that keeps them apart. I recently met a woman who proudly showed me a picture of her family in Australia. Unfortunately she told me, she hadn’t ever visited them, and hadn’t even seen her five-year-old granddaughter. The ___31___ aspect of this story was that, however sad this situation was for both parties, there appeared to be no bitterness or hatred. But many grandparents feel quite ___32___. They’re being forced apart from their grandchildren by less acceptable factors of modern society. Perhaps pressure of time maintains the distance. ___33___, nowadays, even if close extended families live within easy visiting distance, they may still not see much of each other. Parents often spend so much of their precious weekends cleaning, shopping and decorating that they hardly have time to get to know their children. ___34___, the children themselves may have such a heavy weekend of programmed activity that their time is also stretched to its limits.

(A) Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama. Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view. Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.. Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it. This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured (捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized (使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house. Perhaps we all live in each others' spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, and that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us. That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass. 36. What happened when the author was about to take a photo? A. Her camera stopped working. B. A woman blocked her view. C. Someone asked her to leave. D. A friend approached from behind. 37. According to the author, the woman was probably . A. enjoying herself B. losing her patience C. waiting for the sunset D. thinking about her past 38. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive? A. The rich color of the landscape. B. The perfect positioning of the camera. C. The woman’s existence in the photo. D. The soft sunlight that summer day. 39. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections (反思) upon . A. a particular life experience B. the pleasure of traveling C. the art of photography D. a lost friendship (B) Nest (T3007ES) Learning Thermostat (恒温器), Easy Temperature Control for Every Room in Your House.

(C) Many employees must be tempted to query on a daily basis when they see their bosses headed down the wrong track. But caution for fear of appearing insubordinate or foolish and thus possibly at risk of losing their jobs, often leads workers to keep silent. A culture of silence can be dangerous, argues a new book, “The Fearless Organization”, by Amy Edmondson, a professor at Harvard Business School. Some of her examples are from the airline industry. One was its deadliest accident: a crash between Boeing 747s in the Canary Islands in 1977 when a co-pilot felt unable to query his captain’s decision to take off based on a misunderstanding of instructions from air-traffic control. The risks may be lower than life or death in most organizations, but companies also suffer when people keep silent, Ms Edmondson believes. Volkswagen was caught up in a scandal(丑闻) over diesel(柴油)emissions from 2015. The engines of its diesel models did not meet American emissions standards and engineers devised a system to fool the regulators. Ms Edmondson says the company’s culture had been one based on threaten and fear; Ferdinand Piëch, its longtime boss, boasted of telling engineers they had six weeks to improve the bodywork fitting on pain of dismissal. In the circumstances, engineers were understandably unwilling to mention the bad news on emissions standards and instead worked around the problem. In a corporate culture based on fear and intimidation, it may appear that targets are being achieved in the short term. But in the long run the effect is likely to be counterproductive. Studies show that fear inhibits learning. And when confronted with a problem, scared workers find ways of covering it up or getting around it with inefficient practices. The answer is to create an atmosphere of “psychological safety” whereby workers can speak their minds. In a sense, this is the equivalent of Toyota’s “lean manufacturing” process, which allows any worker who spots a problem to stop the production line. This does not mean that workers, or their ideas, are immune from criticism, or that they should complain incessantly. As mundane(平凡的)tasks are automated, and workers rely on computers for data analysis, the added value of humans will stem from their creativity. But as Ms Edmondson’s book amply demonstrates, it is hard to be either constructive or creative if you are not confident about speaking out. 43. The underlined word “insubordinate” means . A. being inferior B. disobeying a superior C. getting aggressive D. being ignorant 44. We can conclude from Paragraph 3 that . A. Volkswagen’s engineers designed a system to meet American emissions standards B. when facing problems, scared workers resolve them directly C. Volkswagen’s engineers were at risk of losing jobs D. the culture of fear and intimidation must be counterproductive in the long term. 45. Which of the following is TRUE according to the author? A. A culture of being silent can be life-threatening. B. The risk of keeping silent is not necessarily associated with life and death. C. Volkswagen’s culture is on the basis of fear. D. The value of humans lies in originality in today’s highly-automated world. 46. What is the passage mainly about? A. An introduction to Amy Edmondson’s new book. B. The disadvantages of fear and intimidation culture. C. Companies will perform better if employees are not threatened into silence. D. People need to be confident when they are speaking out. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. In business, there is a speed difference: It’s the difference between how important firm leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. ____47____ In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that choose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up” improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period. ____48____ They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value). Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference. But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services. In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. ____49____ And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast, performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes. Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. ____50____ That kind of strategy must come from the top. A. How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? B. Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals. C. More haste, less speed, which in the study proves wrong. D. Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed. E. They valued efficiency rather than consideration. F. They encouraged new ways of thinking. 51. Directions: road the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. A plan to restore green spaces The UK government has revealed a plan to protect and restore England’s wild life. It focuses on at-risk species by making canals, rivers and streams cleaner and expanding green spaces. The new Environmental Improvement Plan sets goals to create or restore more than 5,000 square kilometres of wildlife habitats across England and restore 400 miles of rivers. It will create or expand 25 national nature reserves. New woodland will also be planted alongside rivers. At the moment, access to green spaces is not equal across the UK. Around 4% of people live more than 10 minutes away from their nearest park. The Environmental Improvement Plan aims to make sure households in England are within a 15-minute walk to a green space. As well as helping more people to act close to nature, the plan should increase England’s biodiversity. A species Survival Fund will be set up to help some of England’s most endangered animals, such as red squirrels (松鼠) and watch rats. The Government has set targets to boost these species by 2030. There are also targets to reduce food waste, glass, metal, paper and plastic by 2028, and to improve the quality of water in rivers. New rules mean that the Government will have to consider the environmental effects of any policy it puts forward. These goals are part of a 25- year plan that was launched in 2018. The aim of the plan is to improve the environment “within a generation” which is roughly 25 years. Although lots of people have welcomed the plan, not everyone is impressed. Pail de Zylva, from the charity Friends of the Earth, said it wasn’t clear enough how the goals would be met and that many of them were like promises the Government had already made but not yet delivered. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ⅴ.
