2018年3月成人英语三级备考综合卷及答案(4)
一、完成对话(1-10)
1. Speaker A:Beach Motel. May I help you?
Speaker B :_________.
A. Thank you. I'd like to make a long distance call to New York.
B. Yes. We need a double room for this weekend.
C. Sorry, I don't think you can help us. Thank you anyway.
D. All right. My name is David Jones and my room number is 301.
答案:B
【解析】说话者A说"Beach Motel.May I help you?"意思是“这里是海滩汽车旅馆,有什么需要我帮助的吗?”,从这句话可以判断A是一个汽车旅馆的接待员,选项B"Yes.Weneed a double rom for this weekend."(是的,我们本周末需要一个双人间)符合这一对话情景。选项A是要往New York打电话,这显然不是汽车旅馆主要提供的服务项目。选项C和D回答都和问话没有关系。
2. Speaker A:Hello,Jane. How lucky to run into you! Can you and Tom come to dinner tomor-row evening?
Speaker B:_________. I don't think we're going out.
A. I suppose I can't
B. I'm afraid not
C. It's my pleasure
D. I think so
答案:D 【解析】说话者A偶遇说话者B—Jane和Tom,并邀请二人明晚一起共进晚餐。说话者B的答语后半部分说他们明天晚上不会外出,意即同意赴约。A项、B项均表示不同意,C项是针对致谢用的答语,表示“不用谢”,只有D项是表示同意的答语。因此。D项正确。
3. Speaker A: I'd like to buy the refrigerator, but I'm one hundred dollars short.
Speaker B: __________if you promise to give it back before this weekend.
A. I'll borrow you the money
B. I'll lend you the money
C. I'd lend you the money
D. I will have lent you the money
答案:B
【解析】说话者A说/她想买那台冰箱,但是还缺l00美元。说话者B说如果说话者A能在周末前把钱还给他/她,就同意借钱给他/她。四个选项中,A项动词borrow表示“借入”,不合题意,C项语气错误,D项时态错误。因此,B项为正确答案。
4. Speaker A: Could you give me a ride to the conference center? My presentation is in about half an hour.
Speaker B: __________Have you checked with Bob? He seems to be on his way there about this time.
A. I'm sorry. Perhaps next time.
B. I'm glad to. But it's too late.
C. I'm afraid I am going to the opposite direction.
D. Excuse me, but I'm going to the conference center.
答案:C
【解析】说话者A请求说话者B:“你能开车顺路送我到会议中心吗?我的演讲大约半个小时后开始。”说话者B对说话者A回答说“……你问过Bob吗?大概这时候他好像也要往那儿去。”由后半句推知前半句答案应为C,即说话者B要往相反的方向去。
5. Speaker A: Are you feeling better now?
Speaker B :__________.
A. Well, not too better yet, thank you
B. Well, not too good yet. Better than I was thought
C. Well, it doesn't matter. I am all right now
D. Well, never mind, I'm much better now
答案:B
【解析】A中的not too better yet不符合英文的表达习惯;C、D答非所问。B表示“虽不太好,但比以前好多了”,是最佳选择。
6. Waiter: Welcome, sir. May I help you?
Customer: _________
A. Thank you. I'll have fried tofu and stir-fried cauliflower.
B. Yes, please. I'd like a hamburger and a chocolate shake.
C. Sorry. I don't need your help, thank you.
D. If you want to help me, I'll be glad to accept it.
答案:B
【解析】顾客到了餐馆,侍者问客人要吃什么。客人点了hamburger and a chocolate shake,符合当时的场合及语境。
7. Johnny: Dear Tommy, why don't you come on holiday with us?
Tommy : __________
A. That's very kind of you ! I'd love to
B. How dare you invite me? I won't go
C. Yeah, thanks anyway
D. Whether I'll go or not is not your business, ok?
答案:A
【解析】当我们接受别人邀请时,一般是首先表示感谢,然后再陈述能去不能去的理由。在这四个选项中B、D是一种非常粗鲁的说法,显然不符合正确选择;C项答非所问。
8. Anna : Hi, Keith. How's it going?
Keith: __________. I lost my wallet, and it had all my ID and credit cards in it.
A. Not too bad
B. Not too good
C. Not very well
D. Not at all
答案:B
【解析】Not too bad是“还可以,不错”的意思;Not too good恰好与Not too bad相反,表示“不怎么样”的意思;Not very well是对询问身体好坏的否定回答;Not at all是回答他人致谢的用法,表示“不客气”的意思。
9. Speaker A: You'd better take the umbrella with you. It looks like it's going to rain.
Speaker B: Thank you__________
A. for minding me
B. for reminding me
C. for remembering me
D. for caring about me
答案:B
【解析】本题会话情景为致谢,要求考生能够辨别四个单词/短语的词义差别。A项中mind意为“留意,留心”,B项中remind意为“提醒”,C项中remember意为“记住”。D项中care about意为“关心”。会话情景表明,说话者A建议说话者B带上雨伞,因为天看起来要下雨了。据此推断,说话者B应是对其提醒表示感谢。所以B为正确答案。
10. Speaker A:I'd love to come to your barbecue on Saturday but my cousin is arriving from Cali-fornia that day.
Speaker B: That's no problem. The more the merrier. I'm glad__________
A. I can hold such a barbecue for you
B. your cousin will be arriving from California then
C. we finally have a chance to get together
D. that you're too busy to my barbecue
答案:C
【解析】说话者A说:“我愿意出席你的周末野餐烤肉会,但我的表兄弟那一天从加利福尼亚来。”说话者B说:“那没问题。人越多越高兴。我们终于有机会相聚了。'’言外之意,说话者B请说话者A和他的表兄弟一起来。

二、阅读理解(11-30)
In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernadino, California. They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue restaurant, then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this minimal selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.
Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity, for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cook's sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became incredibly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.
Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954,when he was selling milk shake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brother's fast food restaurants and bought the right to franchise other copies of their restaurants. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu, the equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches.
Today McDonald's is literally a household name. Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteen-cent hamburgers. In 1976, Mcdonald's had over $1 billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most incredible success stories in modern American business history.
11.This passage is mainly about ________.
A. the business careers of Mac and Dick McDonald.
B. how McDonald's became a billion-dollar business.
C. Ray Kroc's business abilities.
D. the development of fast-food services.
答案:B
解析:答案B。本篇按时间顺序;以细节叙述的方式逐段告诉我们麦当劳餐厅是如何取得成功的。第一、二段讲述McDonald兄弟在加利福尼亚州新开餐厅的特色以及这些新的特色给他们带来的成功。第三段讲他们通过开连锁店在生意上所取得的进一步发展。通过前几段的铺垫,最后一段达到高潮,点明McDonald兄弟的经营史是现代美国商业史上最令人难以至信的成功故事。在1976年,他们的总销售额达十亿多美元。以整篇的结构来看,比较容易得出答案:这是一篇讲述McDonald兄弟如何取得经营上成功的故事。所以,正确答案是B项。答案A虽然与本篇内容也有关,但显然不如答案B项的内容确切,所以不能选A项。答案C项和D项都只是本篇的某些细节,而非主要内容,所以也不是正确答案。只有B项最为贴切地表达出本篇的内容,所以应选B项。
12. Mac and Dick McDonald had experience in managing all of the following businesses except ________.
A. a barbecue restaurant
B. a drive-in
C. an ice-cream parlor
D. a theater
答案:C
解析:答案C。第一段第三句写道:"They had run their own businesses for years, first a theatre, then a barbecue restaurant, then another drive-in."惟独没提到ice-cream parlor,所以正确答案是C项。
13. We can conclude from this passage that ________.
A. Mac and Dick McDonald never became wealthy because they sold their idea to Kroc
B. Ray Kroc was a good businessman
C. the location the McDonalds chose was the only source of the great popularity of their drive-in
D. forty years ago there were numerous fast-food restaurants
答案:B
解析:答案B。从第三段我们可知,Kroc是一个精明的生意人。他很快就看出了McDonald快餐厅的独特魅力,于是不再做推销机器的推销员,而转而买下了开办McDonald连锁店的经营权。由此可得出结论:他是一个精明的生意人。所以,正确答案是B项。
14.As used in this passage, the word "minimal" means _______.
A. attractive
B. menial
C. basic
D. novel
答案:C
解析:答案C。第一段最后一句话说,除了这个基本菜单外,他们还加进了一个新概念,那就是:快服务,无侍者、无小费。Minimal的原义是:最小限度的,最小量的。在这个语境中,它的意思就是basic.所以,正确答案是C项。
15.As used this passage, the word unique" means ________.
A. aesthetic
B. financial
C. ethnic
D. unparalleled
答案:D
解析:答案D。第三段第二行写道:Kroc很快看出了兄弟俩快餐厅的独特魅力(unique appeal)。unique的意思是:绝无仅有,独一无二。所以正确答案是unparalleled,意即“无比的,无双的,没人能与之相匹的”。
I first became aware of the unemployment problem in 1928. At that time I had just come back from Burman, where unemployment was only a word, and I had gone to Burma when I was still a boy and the post-war boom was not quite over. When I first saw unemployed men at close quarters, the thing that horrified and amazed me was to find that many of them were ashamed of being unemployed. I was very ignorant, but not so ignorant as to imagine that when the loss of foreign markets pushes two million men out of work, those two million are to blame. But at that time nobody cared to admit that unemployment was inevitable, because this meant admitting that it would probably continue. The middle classes were still talking about "lazy idle loafers on the dole(接受救济的二流子)" and saying that "these men could all find work if they wanted to," and naturally these opinions affected the working class themselves. I remember the shock of astonishment it gave me, when I first met with tramps and beggars, to find that a fair proportion, perhaps a quarter, of these beings whom I had been taught to regard as cynical parasites(寄生虫), were decent young miners and cotton workers gazing at their destiny with the same sort of dumb amazement as an animal in trap. They simply could not understand what was happening to them. They had been brought up to work, but it seemed as if they were never going to have the chance of working again. In their circumstance it was inevitable, at first, that they should be filled with a feeling of personal degradation. That was the attitude towards unemployment in those days: it was a disaster which happened to you as an individual and for which you were to blame.
16.The author did not learn of the unemployment problem until 1928 because ________.
A. he had spent his childhood in Burma
B. people in Burma hardly talked about unemployment
C. the English economy collapsed after he had gone abroad
D. England had been enjoying economic prosperity while he was in Burma
答案:C
解析:答案C。在原文中作者谈到他从小便去了缅甸,在那儿失业问题并不真正存在。而在他离开英格兰之前,英格兰战后的经营繁荣仍然盛势不减,因此在他1928年回国之前,他并没有真正接触失业问题。选项C项的内容(英国经济是在作者离国之后才崩溃的)符合原文,为正确答案。在文中作者只提到他少年时便去了缅甸,至于他是否在缅甸渡过童年,缅甸人是否谈论失业,以及在此时期英国经济繁荣了多久,文中均未涉及,因此不是正确答案。
17.Many of the unemployed felt ashamed of their condition because ________.
A. they imagined they were to blame for being out of work
B. nobody wanted to admit that unemployment was inevitable
C. they had to admit that unemployment would probably continue
D. they felt the middle classes were right to say they could find work if they wanted to
答案:D
解析:答案D。在文中作者论及中产阶级对失业者不公正的评价,而劳工阶层自然而然地也受了这种论调的影响,因而对失业产生了不应有的自责和负疚感。显然D项正确解释了题中之义,为正确答案。
18.About a quarter of the tramps and beggars the author met were ________.
A. cynical parasites
B. once quite good at mining and making cotton
C. like animals in trap
D. young workers bewildered by what had happened to them
答案:D
解析:答案D。本题的解题依据主要是:I remember the shock of astonishment it gave me, when I first met with tramps and beggars, to find that…, were decent young miners and cotton workers gazing at their destiny with the same sort of dumb amazement as an animal in a trap一句。显然作者所遇到的流浪汉和乞丐本是一些体面的矿工和棉纺工人,他们对自己处境的惊讶不异于落入陷阱的野兽,也即处于困惑绝望的境地,选择D项符合这一原文内容,为正确答案。
19. The reason why their unemployment so confused the young miners and cotton workers is that _______.
A. they had been brought up on the assumption that they had work to do
B. they had not previously realized how degrading it would feel to be out of work
C. they were definitely not going to be able to work again
D. they did not expect to be the objects of middle-class criticism
答案:A
解析:答案A.本题根据原文中They had been brought up to work, but it seemed as if they were never going to have the chance of working again这一句。据此容易看出A项为正确答案。
20.In the passage as a whole, the author's attitude to unemployment is _________.
A. that it was a disaster for which the individuals were to blame
B. the shock that it should have so degrading an effect on decent people
C. the astonishment that the unemployed cannot understand what had happened to them
D. the amazement that the loss of overseas trade can have such severe effects on the mining and cotton industries.
答案:B
解析:答案B。作者显然并不认为失业问题应由个人承担责任,因此A项不对;从原文来看,不但失业者不能理解所发生的一切,就是中产阶级也在大谈“接受救济的二流子”的理论,显然,不能正确理解失业问题的不止是失业者,而是一个普遍的现象,所以作者没有必要为失业者的无知而感到震惊,C项不对;在文中作者显示他已认识到海外市场的丧失是失业的真正根源,这已不能给他以amazement,所以D项也不对;作者真正感到惊骇的是本不该由个人负责的失业问题却被人们盲目地全部归咎于失业的工人本身,而这种不公正的评价又使得失业者本身产生了负疚的耻辱感,以至于产生了so degrading an effect,显然B项是答案。
The place of the child in society has varied for thousands of years and has been affected by different cultures and religions. In ancient times unwanted children were occasionally abandoned, put to death, exploited, or offered for religious sacrifices, and in any event a large percentage of them didn't survive their physically hazardous existence to achieve maturity.
In Western civilization within the last few hundred years, there have been many changes in attitude toward the young. In agricultural Europe, and late with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the children of the poor worked long hours for little or no pay, and there was no public concern for their safety or welfare. Punishment could be cruel and severe, and sometimes religious passions were expressed violently with a view toward saving the child’s soul.
By the eighteenth century the harsh, deterministic, doctrinal(教条的)methods began to show some change. Society slowly accorded children a role of importance. Books were written expressly for them and gradually laws were passed for their protection.
In the past few decades parents have become more attentive to the needs of their children. Better health care is available and education is no longer reserved for a limited few. With so many now able to go to college, many educators feel that we have too many students and too few competent scholars. Some say the pendulum(钟摆)in child rearing has swung so far toward permissiveness that many children are growing up alienated(离间)from society and with no respect for law or parental authority.
The tendency today is for teachers and parents to emphasize individual responsibility and to stress that educational goals for students should be tailored to their chosen vocations rather than provide a generalized higher education.
21.What does the article say about children?
A. they have always been the hope of mankind.
B. In certain periods of history no one cared about them.
C. In the mid-eighteenth century western attitudes toward children began to change.
D. There were laws barring child labor during the industrial revolution.
答案:C
解析:答案C。从第三段第一句可知C项说法正确。从第二段可知工业革命期间,贫穷的孩子无偿地工作很长时间,没有人关心他们的安全或福利。可见D项(工业革命期间有法律禁止儿童劳动)不对。A项和B项文章未直接提到,并且内容不对。因此C项为正确答案。
22. What does the article say about children in ancient times?
A. They were often cruelly beaten.
B. At times they were used as sacrificial offerings.
C. People who didn’t want children usually murdered them.
D. Though they were abused of neglected by their parents, children survived to adulthood with little difficulty.
答案:B
解析:答案B。从第一段第二句可知D项说法不对,B项正确。A项和C项没有提到,因此B项为正确答案。
23. What changes have occurred in the past few decades with regard to the child's place in society?
A. Child raising has become more permissive.
B. Public health care has improved so much that children now need no particular health care.
C. Children are becoming more intelligent.
D. Children are becoming more respectful toward their parents.
答案:A
解析:答案A。第四段第二句只是说Better health care is available,故B项不对。C项和D项文章未提到。从第四段最后一句可知A项为正确答案。
24. What is the present trend in child discipline and education?
A. Giving as many young people as possible a popular generalized college education.
B. Creating more regimentation of the individual.
C. Teaching children to conform to rigorous rules.
D. Emphasizing individual responsibility.
答案:D
解析:答案D。最后一段指出,对于老师和父母来说,目前的趋势是强调个人责任感,强调对学生的教育应服务于他们选择的职业,而不是为了提供一般化的高等教育。可见,A项说法完全相反。B项和C项未提到,因此D项为正确答案。
25.Which of the pollowing is implied but not directly stated in the passage?
A. Methods used to treat children in the past were worse than those at present.
B. There are laws passed for protection of children.
C. Parents pay more attention to the needs of their children.
D. Many books have been written for children.
答案:A
解析:答案A。文章主要描述了孩子地位的变化,从对五个时期的描述可推断出孩子越来越受重视。可见A项(过去对待孩子的方法不如现在)说法正确。B项,C项和D项说法虽然正确,但都是文章直接陈述的。因此A项为此题答案。
"I do not wish to be hypocritical(虚伪), but the plain fact is-and we all know it to be true-that whenever we see a story in a newspaper concerning something we know about, it is more often wrong than right.” John Gordon.
Seeing an inaccuracy in a newspaper report, one's often tempted to condemn that newspaper and its staff out of hand. How can mistakes occur when it is obvious that a paper must have elaborate checking systems to ensure the accuracy of its reports?
To investigate the causes of factual mistakes, rather than twists of angle or opinion, a distinction must be made between "scheduled news" and "unscheduled news". With scheduled news-an election, a football match, a trial-a news editor can arrange in advance for one of the paper's reporters to be on the spot; in some cases, the reporter will be aided by special handouts(新闻通报)for the press. But unscheduled news-a train or air crash, a suicide, a bank robbery, for example-is a different matter. How can a reporter with a deadline 30 minutes away estimate accurately the number of injured in a train crash that occurred at midnight in the heart of the country? Can anyone be depended upon to produce a precise assessment of the size of a crowd rushing wildly through city streets?
The newsgathering machinery of newspapers is fairly complicated. A large newspaper usually has staff reporters in all the main cities of the country and also part-time correspondents(记者)who might be either freelance(自由职业的)journalists or on the staff of a provincial paper;they help to extend the net in order to catch the news before it's cold. Other important sources of news are the news agencies which are of great assistance in foreign matters, for a paper cannot, for obvious reasons, keep thousands of reporters all over the world just in case a story breaks in front of one of their noses.
26.According to John Gordon, ______.
A. readers are often too critical about the quality of papers
B. mistakes often occur in newspapers
C. reporters often lack a sense of responsibility
D. newspaper reports are not attractive enough
答案:B
解析:答案B。见第一段中:...it is more often wrong than right意为:错误的报道比真实的报道还多,即报纸中常常出现错误。
27. The writer believe that factual mistakes in newspapers are probably due to the fact that ________.
A. it is impossible for the reporter to be 100 accurate in reporting sudden events
B. some reporters do not pay enough attention to background information
C. background information given in advance can sometimes be misleading
D. news editor are not careful enough in checking the details of reports
答案:A
解析:答案A。见第三段后半部分:How can a reporter with a deadline 30 minutes away estimate accurately the number of injured in a train crash that occured at midnight in the heart of the country?可见,当出现一些突发事件时,由于时间仓促很难准确地予以报道。由此可推断,报纸中的失实之处在所难免。
28.It is a usual practice for newspapers to get foreign news from ________.
A. freelance journalists
B. staff of a provincial paper
C. reporters sent abroad
D. news agencies
答案:D
解析:答案D。见第四段最后一句:Other important sources of news are the news agencies…,显然D项为正确答案。
29.The writer thinks that inaccuracy in the press______.
A. is inevitable
B. is intolerable
C. is to be eliminated
D. is often ignored by readers
答案:A
解析:答案A。综观全文可得知作者认为报纸中有失实报道是不可避免的。
30.The writer cites the example of producing a precise assessment of the size of a crowd in order to _______.
A. urge an improvement in checking systems
B. warn the crowd of hidden dangers in the street
C. justify the mistakes in newspapers
D. make known the hard work of reporters
答案:C
解析:答案C。本文的中心意思就是针对人们常常报怨报纸中的失实报道,列举例子分析原因,目的就在于阐明出现这些错误报道是在所难免的。

A.loosen
B.remove
C.relieve
D.dismiss
[答案] A
[译文] 这个小女孩非常害怕,她一直抓着我的胳膊不放。
[解析] 本题有两个选项容易混淆:A.loosen 和C.relieve.Relieve的意思是“减缓导致…的减轻或缓和;免于痛苦,脱离痛苦,焦虑或者苦恼;救济,为……提供帮助或援助”,不能和grip搭配;而loosen one's grip表示“放开手”。
44. He never arrives on time and my _____ is that he feels the meetings are useless.
A.preference
B.conference
C.inference
D.reference
[答案] C
[译文] 他从没有准时到会,所以我的判断是他认为会议没有用。
[解析] 本题的四个选项都有"ence"的后缀把一个动词变为名词,所以我们只要背了它们的动词词根的意思,这四个词的意思就容易找出来了。Preference表示“喜欢,喜好”;conference的意思是“会议,大会”;reference表示“参考,指出”;而inference表示“推断,推论”,符合题义。
45. Mrs. Smith was so _____ about everything that no servants could please her.
A.specific
B.special
C.precise
D.particular
[答案] D
[译文] Smith夫人对于所有事情都很挑剔,所以没有一个仆人能让她高兴。
[解析] Be particular about sth.表示“对……挑剔,吹毛求疵”。因为大纲中虽然列出了4200个词,但在考试中能考的就1800个左右,而这些词在前一些年出现的考点大部分都有所体现,只是这次把这四个词放在一起来考察我们,而下次把另外的四个词放在一起。
46.He never arrives on time and my _____ is that he feels the meetings are useless.
A.preference
B.conference
C.inference
D.reference
[答案] C
[译文] 他从没有准时到会,所以我的判断是他认为会议没有用。
[解析] 本题的四个选项都有"ence"的后缀把一个动词变为名词,所以我们只要背了它们的动词词根的意思,这四个词的意思就容易找出来了。Preference表示“喜欢,喜好”;conference的意思是“会议,大会”;reference表示“参考,指出”;而inference表示“推断,推论”,符合题义。
47.The little girl was so frightened that she just wouldn't _____ her grip on my arm.
A.loosen
B.remove
C.relieve
D.dismiss
[答案] A
[译文] 这个小女孩非常害怕,她一直抓着我的胳膊不放。
[解析] 本题有两个选项容易混淆:A.loosen和C.relieve.Relieve的意思是“减缓导致……的减轻或缓和;免于痛苦,脱离痛苦,焦虑或者苦恼;救济,为……提供帮助或援助”,不能和grip搭配;而loosen one's grip表示“放开手”。
48.The ship's generator broke down, and the pumps had to be operated _____ instead of mechanically.
A.artificially
B.automatically
C.manually
D.synthetically
[答案] C
[译文] 船的发电机坏了,所以需要手动操作水泵而不能机械操作。
[解析] 这也更加要求我们要“温故而知新”。因为instead of后面是mechanically机械地.,所以我们只要找到它的反义词就行了,答案C.manually手动符合题义。
49.This is what you should bear in mind: Don't _____ a salary increase before you actually get it.
A.hang on
B.draw on
C.wait on
D.count on
[答案] D
[译文] 这是你应该记住的:在得到涨工资以前不要指望它。
[解析] 本题考察四个带有on的动词词组。Hang on意思较多,有“纠缠,紧紧握住某物;坚持不放弃;坚持不懈;打电话时不挂断;稍待等待一会儿时间”;draw on穿上, 戴上靴子, 手套等.;吸收, 利用; 凭, 靠;动用;向……支取;逗引某人.开口说话;招来, 招致;接近,靠近;wait on满足……的需要;服侍;count on表示“依赖,依靠”,符合上下文。

四、翻译(51)
51.we all have strengths and weaknesses.A good manager concentrates on bringing out of each employee’s best side and combining those strengths so they complement each other.
Since no one Person can have all the skills needed to successfully operate any organization,we need to build your team in a way that makes use of these skills.That is no mall matter.
You must begin by knowing your team members.When you know people,you learn what motivates them and what de-motivates them.You learn how they interact with certain people and under certain conditions·You pay attention to their working style,how they get things done. Only with this kind of information can you get the most out of all people and merge their talents to get the most out of the team.
答案:每个人既有长处也有弱点。作为一个优秀的管理者要重视发挥每一位员工的优势,并且将那些长处结合起来,使之起到互补作用。
既然没有一个人能拥有成功运作一个公司所具备的全部技能,我们就需要塑造一个能将这些技能利用起来的团队。这绝非一件小事。
你必须从了解员工做起。只有你了解了他们,才知道怎么能调动他们的积极性,什么会挫伤他们的积极性。你会了解他们在某些条件下是如何与某些人交往的。你要关心他们的工作方式,以及他们是如何开展工作的。也只有获取了这方面的信息,你才有可能做到人尽其才,并将他们的聪明才智结合在一起最大限度地发挥团队的整体优势。
五、写作(52)
52.You are to write in no less than 120 words about the title“The Most Important Quality for a Person to Be Successful in the World Today”.You should base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:
1.你认为在现在的世界上要想成功什么素质最重要?
2.请举例说明你的理由。
答案:【高分作文】
The Most Important Quality for a Person to Be Successful in the World Today
I think the most important quality for a person to be successful in the world today is being tolerant. Here I do not define success economically. I define success socially.To succeed in the future, we will need to be tolerant of different background,opinions, and lifestyles.
Our modern society has become increasingly open. People from different cities, provinces or even different countries come to work in one workplace. So we must learn to live and work with these people and to be tolerant of the cultures, beliefs and lifestyles which are different from ours if we want to live and work with them peacefully.
In the present world, many a war was waged just because of different opinions or beliefs.We should not do things like that. We should not stop speaking to people or start a quarrel just because we have different opinions and beliefs. We must learn to be tolerant of one another and respect different opinions. We should find a common ground --an idea we can both agree on. Once we have agreed on one subject, it will be easier for us to settle differences in other subjects.
Learning to be tolerant is very important for everyone if he or she wants to be successful socially in our modern world.
