The day after the surgery, I awoke to find a friend of mine sitting in a chair across from my bed. I don't remember much about his visit. But I will not forget that he visited me on that day, and sat there for I don't know how long, while I was under the influence of a morphine drip (输液). We benefit greatly from our close friendships, but they are not a matter of calculable gain or loss. Our age, what we might call the age of economics, is strongly influenced by two types of relationships that reflect the lives we are encouraged to lead. There are consumer relationships, those that we participate in for the pleasure they bring us. They are focused on the present. It is what brings immediate pleasure that matters. And there are entrepreneurial (商业的) relationships, those that we invest in, hoping they will bring us some return. Aristotle thought that there were three types of friendship: those of pleasure, those of usefulness, and true friendship. In Pleasure Friendships, he said, “It is not for their character that men love ready-witted people, but because they find them pleasant.” About the usefulness friendships, he said, “Those who love each other for their utility (效用) do not love each other for themselves, but because of some good which they get from each other.” Although we benefit from our close friendships, these friendships are not a matter of calculable gain and loss. Consumer pleasures are lasting for only a limited time. They surround us for a short period and then they fade, like a drug. Entrepreneur friendship, when successful, leads to the victory of personal gain. It is precisely the non-economic character that is threatened in a society in which each of us is offered only the choices of ownership, shopping, competition and growth. It is threatened when we are led to believe that friendships without obvious recognizable gain are, in the economic sense, irrational (不合理的). Friendships are not without reason, perhaps, but they are certainly without that particular reason. Shared experience, not just everyday amusement or advancement, is the true basis of friendship. 41. The author mentions his operation in the first paragraph to ______. A. recall one of his best friends B. advise people to visit sick friends C. introduce the topic of true friendship D. talk about the experience of surgery 42. Consumer relationships center on ______. A. the sharing of joy and sorrow B. mutual support in times of trouble C. personal gain or personal loss D. immediate pleasure 43. The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument by ______. A. explaining three types of friendship B. discussing questions C. analyzing causes and effects D. providing examples and facts 44. The author seems to support the idea that ______. A. friendships are a matter of calculable gain or loss B. there are no specific reasons for friendship C. short-term pleasure is the center of friendship D. everyday amusement is the true basis of friendship 45. The best title for the text would be ______. A. Friendship in Modern Times B. Friendship in Economic Recession C. Friendship in the Age of Economics D. Friendship in a Fast Paced Life C When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate? Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long term. They will also experience fear. Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership. The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work days, or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation. Today’s work place is all about relationships. Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they are recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor in the work life of most people. The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence — knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills. 46. According to the passage, forcing others to do things might lead to ________. A. short-term cooperation and long-term trust B. immediate efficiency and lasting motivation C. temporary obedience and long-term negative feelings D. rapid task completion and improved relationships 47. An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when ________. A. he is forced to do things B. he cannot work at his best C. he feels his brain shut down D. he thinks of his work as too heavy 48. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. People tend to associate leadership with fear. B. Working conditions affect people’s physical health. C. Good relationship is the key to business success. D. Smart people are more functional in the work place. 49. To positively influence employees a leader should first of all ________. A. provide better suggestions B. develop his own personality C. give his employees a pay raise D. hide his own emotion of fear 50. Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader’s ability to ________. A. provide a variety of projects for employees B. help raise employee’s living standards C. give employees specific instructions D. deal wisely with employees’ emotions D Ten thousand years ago, as the last ice age ended, sea levels around the world were far lower than they are today. Much of the land under both the North Sea to the east of Britain and the English Channel which now separates France and Britain was part of a huge region of forests and grassy plains. Then the climate gradually became warmer and the water trapped in large masses of ice was released. Now the development of advanced sonar (声纳) technology, known as bathymetry, is making it possible to study this flooded landscape in extraordinary detail. A special echo sounder is fixed to the bottom of a survey ship and it makes wide sweeps across the seabed. While previous technology has only been able to produce two-dimensional images, bathymetry can now use computers, satellite-positioning equipment and special software to create accurate and remarkably detailed maps. For the first time, an ancient riverbed jumps out of the three-dimensional image. The site of pre-historical settlements can now be pinpointed. According to expert Linda Andrews, this technological development is of huge significance. “We now have the ability to map the seabed as accurately as we can map dry land,” she says. Once bathymetric techniques have identified sites where people might have built their homes and villages, divers can be sent down to investigate further. Robot submarines can also be used, and researchers hope they will find stone tools and wood from houses as proof of human activity. The idea shared by many people in Britain of their country as a natural island kingdom will be challenged by the findings: Britain has been inhabited for about 500,000 years and much of this time it has been linked on and off to continental Europe. It remains to be seen how far this new awareness is taken on board, however. In fact, the use of bathymetry will not be limited to the study of lost landscapes and ancient settlements. It will also be vital in finding ships that have been destroyed in accidents. In addition, commercial applications are a real possibility. Aggregates (骨材) for the construction industry are becoming increasingly expensive, and bathymetry can be used to identify suitable sites for digging for this material. Mapping the seabed will also identify places where rare plants and shellfish are living. Digging at such sites should be prevented, either to work for a profit or to make deeper waterways for massive container ships. 51. How does bathymetry work? A. It makes use of a number of different devices. B. It produces two-dimensional images of the sea floor. C. It has an echo sounder placed on the seabed. D. It bases its calculations on the location of construction sites. 52. What does the underlined word “pinpointed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Occupied. B. Discovered. C. Rebuilt. D. Adjusted. 53. The author believes a better understanding of the settlements on the seabed may ________. A. attract investment in the research under the sea B. inspire people to take an interest in modern technology C. receive confirmation of rebuilding ancient man-made objects D. adapt the attitudes of the British to their country’s history 54. We can learn that the use of bathymetry will help to ________. A. provide the precise location of sunken ships B. identify new species of plants and animals C. evaluate the cost of seeking certain resources D. promote the development of deeper waterways 55. Based on the passage, which conclusion can be drawn about human habitation in Britain? A. Human activity in Britain began only after it became an island. B. The submerged landscapes were uninhabited due to harsh climatic conditions. C. Britain’s history of human habitation is longer and more complex than commonly assumed. D. Advanced sonar technology was developed to study Britain’s prehistoric settlements specifically. 五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 When Alex was 15, a climbing accident resulted in the loss of his right leg. For a lively and athletic teenager, this was a devastating blow. In the months that followed, he fell into deep depression, convinced that his dreams and joys had ended. One day, his physical therapist placed a pair of swimming goggles (护目镜) in his hand. “The water doesn’t care how many legs you have,” she said. Reluctantly, Alex started spending time in the pool. At first, it was frustrating. His body was unbalanced, and moving through the water was a struggle. But he persisted. The water, as his therapist promised, provided a sense of freedom he hadn’t felt since his accident. He could move without the aid of his crutches. Months of practice turned into years. Alex didn’t just learn to swim; he learned to swim with incredible speed and grace. He focused on the power of his upper body and the technique of his kick with his left leg. He turned his perceived weakness into a unique strength. His coach, recognizing his talent and determination, encouraged him to compete. At the age of 20, Alex qualified for the national Paralympic swimming team. Standing on the starting block, he looked at the pool not as a place of past struggle, but as a field of victory. He won a silver medal that day. When asked by a reporter what his achievement meant, he said, “The accident took my leg, but it couldn’t take my spirit. This medal isn’t about proving something to the world; it’s about reminding myself that I can overcome any obstacle with a strong will.” 56. Why did Alex think his dreams and joys had ended? (No more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________ 57. How did the physical therapist help Alex? (No more than 20 words) ________________________________________________________________ 58. What does the word “perceived” (Paragraph 3) most probably mean? (Only one word) ________________________________________________________________ 59. What did Alex achieve at the age of 20?
