B Jack London, one of America's great writers of adventure stories, was born in California in 1876. During his life, London did many jobs. His broad life experiences would become the background for his writing. London loved to read. As a teenager, he spent many hours educating himself at the Oakland Public Library. He attended college at the University of California at Berkeley in 1896, but he stayed for only six months. He thought Berkeley was "not lively enough" and wanted to do something more exciting. London wrote stories about working people and the hard times they had making a living. He knew their problems at first hand. He worked as a sailor, factory worker, and gold rusher, to name but a few of his many jobs. Like many people of the time, London caught the Klondike Gold Rush Fever. In 1897, he headed for Alaska. He didn't find gold, but he discovered something even more valuable. He discovered that people enjoyed listening to the stories he made up. London entertained (使……快乐) the miners with story after story. Later, using his experiences during the Gold Rush, he created many more colorful stories. London decided to live a full, exciting life. Each day, he pushed himself. Once London made up his mind to be a writer, nothing could stop him. His goal was to write at least one thousand words every day. He refused to stop even when he was sick. In eighteen years, the writer published fifty-one books and hundreds of articles. He was the best-selling and highest-paid author of his day. Many people also considered him to be the best writer. White Fang and The Call of the Wild are his must famous stories and are about surviving in the Alaskan wilderness. Readers can enjoy Jack London's talent for telling wonderful stories each time they open one of his novels. 36. Which statement is true about Jack London? A. He is famous for his learning ability. B. He studied in many universities. C. He was taught by the librarians. D. His life experiences benefited him. 37. What did Jack London think of his college life? A. It was not very easy. B. It was not very busy. C. It was not very interesting. D. It was not very comfortable. 38. When did Jack London discover he had a talent for storytelling? A. When he was a teenager. B. When he was in Alaska. C. When he went to college. D. When he worked as a sailor. 39. Which of the following can best describe Jack London? A. Strong-minded. B. Big-mouthed. C. Well-educated. D.

To show how Jack London became a great writer. D. To require readers to read Jack London's books. 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 day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation (积极性). Today’s work place is all about relationships. Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they’re 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 (因素) 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. 41. The underlined phrase “shooting oneself in the foot” means _____ in this passage. A. throw or walk in a specific direction or towards a specific objective B. to grow forth (向前) from the ground C. to move or pass suddenly or swiftly D. to injure or harm one's own interests 42. An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when ___. A. he cannot work at his best B. he is forced to do things C. he feels his brain shut down D. he thinks of his work as too heavy 43. 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. Smart people are more functional in the work place. D. Good relationship is the key to business success. 44. To positively influence employees, a leader should first of all ____. A. develop his own personality B. provide better suggestions C. give his employees a pay raise D. hide his own emotion of fear 45. Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader’s ability to_____. A. provide a variety of project for employees B. help raise employees’ living standards C. deal wisely with employees’ emotions D. give employees’ specific instructions（指导） 非选择题（满分25分） 第四部分：单词拼写（每题2.5分，满分25分） 46.
