In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the now famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 1 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.
In any case, despite so much evidence to the 2 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 3 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 4 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.
Different cultures have different ways of 5 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making — all members of the department or work group are asked to 6 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 7 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 8 managers cannot.
A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 9 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 10 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 11 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 12 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 13 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.
Another trend is off-site or 14 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 15 of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them. 1. A. desire
B. seek
C. lose
D. dislike D. extreme D. otherwise D. above D. encouraging
2. A. contrary 3. A. vice versa 4. A. outside 5. A. replacing 6. A. refer
B. expectation B. for example B. inside B. assessing
C. degree C. however C. below
C. managing
B. contribute

性管理更高效,因为女性更有亲和力,比男性管理人更容易与别人达成一致的目标。故D项正确。 9. A 根据前句"... encourage employees to use their own initiative... "(鼓励员工使用自己的首创精神),也
就是说在作出决定的时候不用先请示上级经理。故A项正确。
10. C 根据"the trend towards downsizing"(缩小规模的趋势)可知,也就是要减少管理层的数量,可以
直接作出决定而不需要请示上级,故动词"reduce减少"符合语境。

问题(problem)。
2.B 根据空格后的原因状语从句"because people are throwing out more rubbish than ever before"可知答案。
3.B文章第二段、第三段和第四段分析了我们变成一次性物品充斥的社会的原因。由此可知此句是总领性的句子——我们是怎样变成一次性物品充斥的社会的。
4.C 因为此文谈及的是一次性物品充斥的社会。 在一次性物品充斥的社会中,和花时间与金钱修理东西相比,更换一个东西当然要更容易些。hide"隐藏";control"控制";replace"取代";withdraw"提取"。 5.A 由于现代制造业和技术,公司可以更快地、更加低成本地生产东西。thanks to"幸亏,由于"。 6.C 由上一句中的"produce products quickly and inexpensively"可知,产品应该是充足的和便宜的。故此空应填cheap。

13.A 根据空后的"we will be happier with the latest products"可知此处表示"越新越好"。
14. D make room for new ones意为"为新东西腾出空间",那么如何为新东西腾出空间呢?当然是通过throw
away"扔掉"。

One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be 1 when you are
not busy finding fault with it.
Several years ago I 2 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class
fault-finder, almost always 3 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 4 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 5 person.
Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 6 . Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car
crash. What made it almost 7 to deal with was that the day before the 8 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 9 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 10 . It wasn’t until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 11 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 12 everything so harshly(刻薄). She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 13 as well.
Perhaps most of us aren’t as extreme at fault-finding, 14 when we’re honest, we can be sharply 15
of the world. I’m not suggesting you 16 problems, or that you pretend things are 17 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are — 18 most of the time, and especially when it’s not a really big 19 .
Train yourself to "bite your tongue", and with a little 20 , you’ll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you’ll get back your enthusiasm and love for life. 1. A. lonely
B. great
C. quiet C. expected C. bothered
D. uneasy D. rejected D. spoiled D. nothing D. surprising D. explanation D. impossible D. adventure D. choice
2. A. received 3. A. threatened 4. A. anything 5. A. caring
B. answered B. interrupted B. everything B. boring B. plan
C. something C. interesting C. measure C. certain C. accident C. evidence

【答案】1—5 BACDB 6—10 ADCDC 11—15 ACBCD 16—20 DBABA
【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章通过讲述Kerry从一个吹毛求疵的人变为一个学会感恩生活的人,告诉我们"要管好你的嘴",寻回昔日对生活的热情。
1.B 从下文内容可知,本文作者不赞同人们老是挑毛病,所以用great表示当你不忙于挑毛病时生活会很精
彩。
2.A receive a letter from sb. "收到某人的来信"。
3.C 根据下文的"People were always doing things that annoyed her"(人们做的事总是惹她生气)可知,此处用
bother表示"使(某人)烦恼"。
4.D根据and前面的句子可知,此处表示"没有一件事情她觉得好",所以用nothing。 5.B 此处用boring表示"令人厌烦的"。
6.A 根据下文可知,这场意外改变了她的态度。attitude "态度"。
7.D 事故发生前一天Kerry拜访了她的这个朋友并一直挑朋友的毛病。据此可知,这使得事情几乎无法应对。 8.C根据上文的"it took a horrible accident" 可知,此处选C。 9.D Kerry批评她的朋友对男朋友的选择。choice "选择"。
10.C 空处所在的句子是定语从句,various other things 是先行词,关系词that/which 代替先行词在从句中
作宾语,所以用express"表达"。
11.A 直到她的朋友严重受伤Kerry才意识到她挑毛病的习惯。aware of "意识到";afraid of "害怕";
curious about "好奇";confused about "感到困惑"。
12. C judge "判断,评价"。此处judge … harshly和上文的"appreciate life"形成对比。
13. B她也能够把她的新智慧转移到她生活的其他方面。 14. C上下文是转折关系,所以用but。
15. D be critical of 和find fault with是同义短语。
16. D根据上下文可知,不挑剔并不意味着忽视问题。ignore "忽视"。 17. B或者假装事情比真实情况要好。
18. A至少大多数时候是这样的。at least "至少"。 19. B a big deal是固定搭配,含义为"重要的事情"。
20. A根据上下文可知,要做到这一点需要的是少量的训练。practice "练习,训练"。 5. (2014·新课标全国卷Ⅰ)

But their 4 soon wears off and by January those 5 toys can be found put away in the basement. The world is full of 6 stamp albums and unfinished models, each standing as a monument to someone’s 7 interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child 8 bathes it and brushes its fur. Within a short time, however, the 9 of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents.

【解析】本文通过举例说明这样一个道理:各种形式的活动,如果人们经常做,都会产生厌倦情绪。 1.A 其实,我们可从各年龄段的人们身上看到这个准则是如何起作用的。第一段的第一句出现短语As a
general rule,本空填principle呼应名词rule。
2.D 各年龄段的人都会产生厌倦情绪。从下文可知,孩子厌倦玩具、少年厌倦高中、青年厌倦大学、成
年人厌倦开车、老年人厌倦退休后的生活。因此本空填ages。 3.C 在圣诞节早上,孩子们一开始很喜欢玩(playing)他们的新玩具。 4.B 但是,不久他们对新玩具的兴趣(interest)逐渐消失了。
5.A 到了一月,同样的(same)玩具再也不能吸引孩子们了,他们就把那些玩具收起来了。
6.D 生活中满是装满一半(half-filled)邮票的集邮册和没有完工的模型。后文的"unfinished"是关键信息。 7.B 这些东西说明很多人曾经喜欢某一件事,结果半途而废。他们的兴趣是短暂的(passing)。故选B。 8.C 当父母带回家一个宠物时,孩子高兴地(gladly)为它洗澡、刷它的毛。 9.B 但是,过不了多久,照顾动物的重担(burden)又被移交给了父母。 10.D 青少年带着极大的兴奋之情(excitement)进入高中。 11.A 但是,不久他们就盼望着毕业(graduation)。

8.Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect interest in romance among the artists. 51 , you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people’s earned to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.
In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 52 in people’s lives. The 53 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.
Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 54 . They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that 55 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone. First Impression
To help determine the 56 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to 57 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.
As it turned out, their 58 judgments often held true. Students seemed to 59 at an early stage who would best fit into their lives. The 60 Knows
Scientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones — natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling 61 to
partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 62 as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people. Face Value
Being fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 63 . The participants had 0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we 64 attractiveness seem to be somewhat automatic.
When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to 65 words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking. 51. A. Instead B. Therefore C. Moreover D. Otherwise 52. A. romantic 53. A. priority 54. A. tested

【答案】51—55 ACBDC 56—60 CABBA 61—65 ADBDC
【解析】古代和现代的人追求不同,现代人追求的是爱,但是科学家依然对爱还不是很清楚。
51. A 考查副词以及对语境的理解 Instead 意为相反,Therefore意为因此, Moreover意为此外, Otherwise 意为否则。观察空格前后的句式结构,可以前面用的是you would not detect … ,后面用的是you
would see ,使用的动词不同,结构相同。由于前面有not,后面没有,所以可知此处表达为意思相反,所以答案为A。
52. C 考查形容词以及对语境的理解 romantic 意为浪漫的,stressful 意为压力的,central 意为中心的, artificial 意为人工的。根据上一句话“life for ancient people seemed to center on hunting”及本句的“In modern times, finding love is ”,分析语境,知道这两个句子是把古代和现代的情况进行对比。前一句用了center ,后一句用central, 两者的关系是同根重现。
53. B 考查名词以及对语境的理解 priority 意为优先权,proof 意为证明,possibility 意为可能性,principle 意为原则。后两句的意思是:很容易准备一系列的有关爱的现代故事。在当前的流行文化中,无数的故事和电影归类为爱情故事。根据这两句,的意思,结合上下文语境可知道本句的意思就是有很多证明的例子,所以答案为proof.
54. D 考查动词以及对语境的理解 tested 意为测试,imposed意为强加,changed 意为改变,created 意为创造。根据本段的最后一句话“One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone. 确定了一件事情是:爱的真理还不确定”可以知道科学家研究的是爱是否能够创造,而不应该是测试,改变或者是强加。其中set in stone 就像中文里说的“板上钉钉”,表示绝对不变。
55. C 考查名词以及对语境的理解 appearances 意为外表,virtues 意为美德,similarities意为相似,passions 意为激情。根据划线部分前面的连词but 可以判断前后是转折的意思,而opposites意为相反的,所以答案为相似的。
56. C 考查名词以及对语境的理解 illustrations 意为说明,implications 意为含义;暗示;牵连,卷入;可能的结果,影响,ingredients 意为成分,intentions 意为意图,目的。根据小标题First Impression (第一印象)以及后面所描述的实验方法、内容和结果,可以知道实验的目的是决定吸引力的成分。
57. A 考查动词以及对语境的理解 predict 意为预测,investigate 意为调查,diagnose 意为诊断, recall 意为回忆。根据58题后面的judgment (判断),可以知道此处的答案应该是和判断同义的词。又根据该句后面的句子“after nine weeks, they reported what happened. 9周之后,报道发生了什么事情?”可以知道这一些是还没有发生的事情,也就是预测到的东西。
58. B 考查形容词以及对语境的理解 critical 意为 批评的 ,initial 意为原始的 ,random 意为随意的, mature 意为成熟的。根据第57题预测的东西,那么预测的东西相对而言就是原始的,最初的判断。 59. B 考查动词以及对语境的理解 memorize 意为记忆,distinguish 意为区别,negotiate 意为谈判, question意为疑问。根据前一句话的意思“结果证明他们最初的判断是正确的”,该句要表达的意思和前一句相同,也就是说“学生似乎能够在早期区别适合他们的生活人”。
60. A 考查名词以及对语境的理解 Nose 意为鼻子,Eye 意为眼睛, Heart 意为心脏, Hand意为手。
空格处的词是小标题,是对本段的高度概括。它往往在句首或句末找答案。在本段的最后两句话都提到了一个词smell(嗅觉),四个选项中和嗅觉有关的词只有A。
61. A 考查形容词以及对语境的理解 open 意为开放的,alert 意为警觉的,resistant 意为抵抗的,superior 意为优越的。根据前面的搭配either… or…要么……,要么,表明此处是一个反义表达。前面使用的是战争,那么后面应该是一种开放,也就是坦诚以对。
62. D 考查形容词以及对语境的理解 disappointed 意为失望的,amazed 意为惊奇的,confused 意为困惑的,gifted 意为有天赋的。根据In contrast(相反)以及后文“Although we may not be aware of chemicals 尽管我们没有意识到”, 结合上下文语境知道在这里表达人类没有像动物那么有天赋。
63. B 考查名词以及对语境的理解 emotion意为情感,attractiveness 意为吸引力,individuality 意为个人的 ,signals意为信号。根据上一句话最后一个单词attractive,结合上下文知道此处的答案和这个单词attractive是同根重现,所以答案是attractiveness.
64. D 考查动词以及对语境的理解 enhance 意为加强,possess 意为拥有,maintain 意为维持, assess 意为评定。该句是本段的总结,前面提到的是研究者做的吸引力实验,最后得出的结论就是我们评估吸引力的方法自动的。这是评估的方法,而不能是拥有,维持,或者是加强,所以答案为assess.
65. C 考查形容词以及对语境的理解 familiar 意为熟悉,plain 意为普通的, positive 意为积极的, irritating 意为无礼的。根据最后一句的表达“Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking. 看一些吸引力的事情似乎能够导致快乐的思考。”不能得出答案的表达应该是一种快乐思考,所以答案为positive积极的。

Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have 1 feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common 2 between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over 3 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the 4 . On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for 5 the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.
The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different 6 to these problems. However, some approaches are more 7 than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but 8 clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s 9 . On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 10 of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to 11 their actions.
Psychologists say that 12 is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should 13 to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may 14 their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a two-way process. It is only by listening to and 15 each other that problems between parents and children can be settled. 1. A. natural 2.A. interest 3.A. noisy
