2022北京高一（上）期末英语汇编七选五一、七选五（2022·北京海淀·高一期末）They Consider Rats LifesaversWhen people hear the word “rat”, they may think of dirty animals that spread diseases. And if you are an English learner, you may also connect the word rat with bad expressions. For example, calling someone a rat is a big insult (侮辱) and “rat race” describes a joyless, hurried way of living.____1____However, the rat trainers at the nonprofit organization, APOPO, see these animals very differently. ____2____ Based in Tanzania, APOPO trains a kind of rats to find landmines (地雷). And the rats with their extraordinary sense of smell are very good at the job. APOPO calls their animal team Hero Rats.Ellie Cutright is an APOPO trainer from Charleston, South Carolina. The researcher shared her very high opinions of rats in a discussion with VOA．____3____ “Everybody should know that these rats aren’t stupid. They’re not terrible animals. They're really intelligent and they can be trained to do some amazing things.”Human beings have used metal-searching devices to do this work for years. But rats — it turns out — do it better. And they also cost less money.____4____ “When the rats are working in the field and they find a landmine, they scratch (挠) on the ground and that’s how we know. We place a little marker there, and then we can go safely to remove those landmines and get rid of them.” Once trained, the rats can work in minefields in Tanzania and other countries around the world.____5____ However, they still do not weigh enough to cause a landmine to explode. Cutright praises the impact of their work. “I think the work that APOPO does is really important in kind of spreading the word that rats are not just a pest. They really are heroes and they show us every day that they are worthy of that name.”A．So, rats generally are not beloved animals either in life or in the English language.B．Worldwide there are 110 million hidden landmines left over from wars.C．A rat is an animal that looks like a large mouse with a long tail.D．She wants everyone to know how useful these animals are.E．This kind of rats are large compared to other kinds of rats.F．Cutright explains how the search process (过程) works.G．They consider rats “lifesavers”（2022·北京房山·高一期末）How to Find Real FriendsA lot of people would define a real friend as a treasure. ____6____ Given below are the steps to be done for us to find real friends that will stand by us through whatever comes along.Be interested in others. Having interest in others is the first step towards making friends. We should start by having a real love for people and then taking an active interest in others.___7___ Others are often impressed that you cared enough to remember their name. And with this, they may begin to share some experience or problems with you and the friendship starts to build.__8__ Being a good listener is important in building friendships. If weare interested in what others are saying, they are typically drawn to us.Be loyal. It is said that the main quality of a friend is his loyalty: a friend that will be with you through thick and thin. A real friend shouldn’t damage your reputation by joining in wicked gossip. ____9____ Reveal your deepest feelings. A friend should not be embarrassed to lay bare to those whom he trusted. This, of course, doesn’t mean that you should pour out all your emotions to everyone that you meet. However, we should be honest. And as you get to know and trust someone, you can gradually reveal more of your deepest feelings.Do not expect perfection. We aren’t perfect. And even when a friendship is off to a good start, we shouldn’t expect it to be perfect. We must strive to make it an almost perfect kind of friendship. ____10____ Friends are important to our lives. Sometimes, they are our source of strength and inspiration. However, we must remember that for us to finally meet real friends, we must be a real friend too.A．Pay attention to how you listen.B．And to attain it, we need time and emotion.C．Instead, he or she will loyally stand up for you.D．Actually, a sincere interest in others attracts friendship.E．Just like in searching for treasure, an effort should be done.F．One way to show interest is to know their name and remember it.G．A secret for a successful friendship includes empathy and fellow feelings for others.（2022·北京市怀柔区教科研中心高一期末）How old is “old”?How old is “old”? ___11___ More than two hundred years ago, you were old at 35. That was the average life then. At the turn of the 20th century, as medical knowledge advanced, the average life span (长度) increased to 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old. Today, a healthy 70-year-old is looking forward to many more active years.So, how old is old? The answer is one you’ve heard many times, from all sorts of people. “You are as old or young as you feel!” The calendar (日历) simply tells you how many years you have lived. ___12___ Once an unknown author wrote, “Youth is not a time of life but it is a state of mind. Nobody grows old by living a number of years. ___13___”___14___ Alice Brophy, when she was with the New York City commission for the Aging, said, “It upsets me when people say, ‘Gee, you look young for your age!’ What does that mean? Is there some model that you’re supposed to look a certain way at 65 and 75 and 85? You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80.”There are many wrong ideas about aging. ___15___ Here are some of the more common ones. For example, most older people are in poor health, or older people are unable to change.A．Old is a point of view.B．It’s extremely terrible to be grown old.C．The answer has changed over the years.D．Your body tells you how well you’ve lived.E．Older people are stubborn, unable to change.F．People grow old by giving up their goals.G．These ideas stereotype (固化) people on the basis of age.（2022·北京师大附中高一期末）Blind Olympic Athletes Show the Universal NatureTune into any sports coverage on TV, and you will see many athletes proudly raise their arms and heads in victory, while a much larger number hang their shoulders and necks in defeat. Studies have revealed why—they are universal behaviours, performed by humans in response to success and failure.The discovery came from Jessica Tracy from the University of British Columbia and David Matsumoto from San Francisco State University, who wanted to see how people showed feelings of pride and shame. ____16____ They tried to find a large group of people, and it was critically important that some of these subjects had never seen other people reacting to success or failure before.The answer was Athens, during the 2004 Olympic Games. Its sister competition—the Paralympics—included many athletes who were born blind. ____17____ Working with a professional photographer, Tracy and Matsumoto compared the body language of 108 competitors, 41 of whom had lost their sight, and 12 of whom were blind from birth. The photographer repeatedly took pictures of these athletes after their competitions, and the researchers carefully recorded the positions of their heads, arms and bodies. ____18____ The winners tilted their heads up, smiled, lifted their arms and puffed out their chests, while shoulders bent forward and narrowed chests were the marks of losers.____19____ Men and women who have never seen other people behave in these ways still make exactly the same movements. And while it’s possible that parents may have taught their blind children some of these actions, it’s very unlikely that they could have taught them all—particularly the expansion or narrowing of the chest.These actions were also remarkably consistent between contestants from every part of the world. Tracy and Matsumoto argue that pride and shame deserve a place alongside other primary emotions like happiness, fear and surprise. ____20____A．They are inborn behaviours and are accompanied by their own distinct sets of actions.B．In fact, the culture was found to have only a very small effect on their body language.C．Therefore, they could not have witnessed how other people reacted to winning and losing.D．The result suggested that the athletes were showing their pride based on careful observation.E．The athletes’ behaviours give strong evidence that they have had the actions naturally since birth. F．Analyzing the data, they found that the sighted and sightless athletes behaved in almost exactly the same ways. G．In particular, they wanted to know whether these expressions were culturally determined and learned through observation.（2022·北京昌平·高一期末）Stress Management: How to Reduce, Prevent, and Cope with StressIf you’re living with high levels of stress, you’re putting your health and happiness at risk. Stress does harm to your health. It may seem like there’s nothing you can do about stress. _____21_____ The following stress management tips can help you do that.Get movingWhen you’re stressed, the last thing you probably feel like doing is getting up and exercising. _____22_____ You don’t have to be an athlete or spend hours in a gym to experience the benefits. Exercise releases endorphins that make you feel good, and it can also serve as a valuable distraction from your daily worries.Connect to othersThere is nothing more calming than spending quality time with another human being who makes you feel safe and understood. So make it a point to connect regularly — and in person — with family and friends. Keep in mindthat the people you talk to don’t have to be able to fix your stress. _____23_____. And try not to let worries about looking weak keep you from opening up. The people who care about you will be happy because of your trust. It will only strengthen your relationship._____24_____When you’re worn out by your morning traffic, or stuck in a stressful meeting at work, you need a way to manage your stress levels right now. The fastest way to reduce stress is by taking a deep breath and using your senses — what you see, hear, taste, and touch — or through a comfortable movement. By viewing a favorite photo, smelling a specific smell, listening to a favorite piece of music, tasting sweets, or hugging a pet, for example, you can quickly relax and focus yourself.Effective stress management helps you break the hold stress has on your life, so you can be happier, healthier, and more productive. But stress management is not one-size-fits-all. _____25_____A．Take control of your own life.B．Learn to relieve stress in the moment.C．They simply need to be good listeners.D．But physical activity is a huge stress reliever.E．But you have a lot more control than you might think.F．That’s why it’s important to experiment and find out what works best for you.G．While it’s not easy to avoid all stress, Learning about it can help you avoid unnecessary stress.参考答案1．A2．G3．D4．F5．E【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。

This is not a reality show, but an adventure journey.“It was really perfect,” said Julia Ruelle of her recent adventure to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness with three of her childhood friends. “By unplugging, we had an amazing time.”Last year, the 16-year-old took part in an essay contest and carried off a prize. The award was a 5-day canoe and camping adventure with up to three friends. No parents or guides would be there. So Julia invited her friends Anna Wander, Madeline Wilson and Julianna Torelli.The four Minnetonka High School juniors arrived in Ely for training the day before they began the journey. They set out the next day at 7 a．m., quickly developing a routine.“We were done paddling by noon,” Julia said. “We ate lunch at the campsites and then it was time for hammocks (吊床), reading, making friendship bracelets (手镯) and talking.”The girls all had experience in the outdoors before.Anna had been to the Boundary Waters with her family. “I love how you are separated from everything in your life, especially technology, ” Anna said. Without her phone, she said, “I’m less worried about things.” Madeline, too, had been to the Boundary Waters a few years ago. “But this time, I had to paddle right and set up camp，” she said. The girls made fire and cooked meal together. No one was ever hungry or homesick, but they were nervous in the final night as they waited out a thunderstorm. They left wet sleeping bags in one tent, and squeezed into another for the night. “Every thunderstorm in the Boundary Waters feels huge, ” Julia said.On the car ride home, they were all on their phones catching up with friends. “It was a little at a loss turning my phone on, ” said Anna. “Mental health can be improved so much in the Boundary Waters.

二、说明一项发明或发现结构分析典例分析（2022·吉林·东北师范大学）A joint research team recently have developed a new electronic skin that is similar to human skin in strength, durability and sensitivity. The skin or eskin may play an important role in nextgeneration personalized medicine, soft robotics and artificial intelligence.“The ideal eskin will mimic (模仿) the many natural functions of human skin, such as sensing temperature and touch, accurately and in real time,” says leading researcher Yichen Cai. However, making suitably flexible electronics that can perform such delicate tasks while also used repeatedly is challenging, and each material involved must be carefully engineered.Most eskins are made by putting an active sensor on the surface that attaches to human skin. However, the connection between them is often too weak, which reduces the durability andsensitivity of the material; otherwise, if it is too strong, it won’t be flexible enough, making it more likely to break the circuit.“The landscape of skin electronics keeps shifting at a remarkable pace,” says Cai. “The discovery of 2D sensors has accelerated efforts to turn these quite thin but strong materials into functional, durable artificial skins.”The new manmade skin built by the researchers could sense objects from 20 centimeters away. It could further make a quick response when touched in less than one tenth of a second. “It is a striking achievement for an eskin to maintain toughness after repeated use,” said Shen, “which mimics the softness and rapid recovery of human skin.”This type of eskin could monitor a range of biological information, such as changes in blood pressure, which can be detected from movements of arms and legs. This data can then be shared and stored on the cloud via WiFi.“One remaining problem to the widespread use of eskins lies in mass production of highresolution sensors,” adds group leader Vincent Tung, “however, the latest technology offers new promise.”（1）第一段：发明的内容、好处（eskin）（2）第二段：用途、功能（模仿人类皮肤的功能）（3）第三段：原理（4）第四段：前景（5）第五段：功能、优势（感知物体）（6）第六段：功能、用途（生物）（7）第七段：潜在问题1．What’s the feature of the new eskin?A．It’s flexible and sensitive.B．It is almost the same as human skin.C．It has fragile electronics.D．It has proved important in areas like AI.【解析】根据文章第一段内容“A joint research team recently have developed a new electronic skin that is similar to human skin in strength, durability and sensitivity.(最近，联合研究小组开发出了强度、耐用性、敏感性与人类皮肤相似的新型电子皮肤。

如何成为应该合格的交流者英语作文How to Become a Competent CommunicatorCommunication is super important! It allows us to share our thoughts, feelings and ideas with others. Without good communication skills, it would be really hard to make friends, work together on projects, or understand what our teachers and parents are telling us. Being a competent communicator means we can effectively get our message across and understand what others are saying too. Let me share some tips on how to become a great communicator!Listen Up!The first step to communicating well is to be a good listener. Active listening means paying close attention when someone is speaking to you. Look them in the eyes, nod your head to show you're following along, and avoid interrupting until they are finished. Ask questions if you don't understand something. Listening first helps make sure you don't miss important parts of the message.Speak ClearlyOnce you've listened carefully, it's your turn to speak! When you talk, speak slowly and pronounce your words clearly. Thismakes it easier for others to understand you. Use a confident voice tone without mumbling or trailing off at the end of sentences. If you tend to speak too quickly when you're excited or nervous, take a breath to slow down.Use Friendly Body LanguageCommunication isn't just about the words you say - your body language matters too! While speaking, maintain good posture and face the person you're talking to. Nod, smile, and make hand gestures to emphasize your points. Avoid crossing your arms or hunching over, which can seem unfriendly. Your body language should match the tone of your message.Choose Your Words WiselyThink about how to get your point across in the clearest way. Sometimes using simpler vocabulary or providing examples can help, especially when explaining something complicated. If you notice the other person looks confused, rephrase what you said in a different way. Being able to adjust how you communicate based on the situation is an important skill.Stay FocusedDuring longer conversations, it's normal for your mind to occasionally wander. If you notice your attention drifting, refocuson the speaker. Ask them to repeat the part you missed so you don't fall behind. Taking notes can also help keep you engaged, especially if it's an important discussion. Avoiding distractions shows respect for the other person.Read Body Language TooWatching someone's body language provides clues about how they are reacting to the conversation. Are they leaning in looking interested, or drifting away? Do they seem confused or excited by what you're saying? Paying attention to nonverbal cues can help you gauge if you need to clarify, elaborate, or change approaches.Manage EmotionsSometimes conversations can get heated, like if there is an argument or disagreement. When this happens, resist the urge to raise your voice or say hurtful things. Take a deep breath, speak calmly, and avoid placing blame. Use "I" statements to explain how you feel without accusing. Controlling your emotions prevents the situation from escalating.Know When to Take a BreakIf a conversation gets too tense or you're feeling overwhelmed, it's okay to take a break. Politely excuse yourselffor a short pause. Go to the restroom, get a drink of water, or just walk around a bit to reset before resuming the talk. A break can defuse a situation so you can approach it again morelevel-headed.Don't Forget to Listen AgainOnce you've had your say, the cycle of good communication begins again - listen carefully to the other person's response. Be prepared to clarify, ask follow up questions, or rephrase your point differently. Effective communication goes both ways until you both have a clear understanding.Practice, Practice, Practice!Like any skill, communicating well takes practice. The more conversations you have, the easier it becomes. If you're a shy person, start by speaking up more with family or close friends you feel comfortable around. Over time, practice communicating clearly in group settings too. Getting experience in different situations builds confidence.Communication allows us to better connect with others and be understood. By developing skills like active listening, speaking clearly, reading body language and managing emotions, you can become an effective communicator. It takes effort, but thebenefits of being able to share your thoughts and ideas are totally worth it! So keep practicing - you've got this!。

Mark your answers on the A NSWER SHEET.(40 points)Text 1Rats and other animals need to be highly at tuned to social signals from others so that can identify friends to cooperate with and enemies to avoid. To find out if this extends to non-living beings, Loleh Quinn at the University of California, San Diego, and her colleagues tested whether rats can detect social signals from robotic rats.They housed eight adult rats with two types of robotic rat-one social and one asocial -for 5 our days.The robots rats were quite minimalist, resembling a chunkier version of a computer mouse with wheels-to move around and colorful markings.During the experiment, the social robot rat followed the living rats around, played with the same toys, and opened caged doors to lei trapped rats escape. Meanwhile, the asocial robot simply moved forwards and backwards and side to sideNext the researchers trapped the robots in cages and gave the rats the opportunity to release them by pressing a lever. Across 18 trials each, the living rats were 52 percent more likely on average to set the social robot free than the asocial one. This suggests that the rats perceived the social robot as a genuine social being. They may have bonded more with the social robot because it displayed behaviors like communal exploring and playing. This could lead lo the rats better remembering having freed it earlier, and wanting the robot to return the favour when they get trapped, says Quinn.The readiness of the rats lo befriend the social robot was surprising given its minimal design. The robot was the same size as a regular rat but resembled a simple plastic box on wheels. "We'd assumed w e'd have lo give its moving head and tail, facial features, and put a scene on it to make it smell like a real rat. but that wasn't necessary," says Janet Wiles at the University of Queensland in Australia, who helped with the research.The finding shows how sensitive rats arc to social cues, even when they come from basic robots. Similarly, children tend to treat robots as if they are fellow beings, even when they display only simple social signals. "We humans seem to be fascinated by robots, and it turns out other animals are too," says Wiles.21.Quinn and her colleagues conducted a test to see if rats can .[A]pickup social signals from non-living rats[B]distinguish a friendly rat from a hostile one[C]attain sociable trails through special training[D]send out warning messages to their fellow22.What did the social robot do during the experiment?[A]Il followed the social robot[B]It played with some toys.[C]It set the trapped rats free.[D]It moved around alone.23.According to Quinn, the rats released the social robot because they .[A] tried to practice a means of escape] expected it to do the same in return[C]wanted to display their intelligence[D]considered that an interesting game24.James Wiles notes that rats .[A] can remember other rat's facial features[B]differentiate smells better than sizes[C]respond more to cations than to looks[D]can be scared by a plastic box on wheels25.It can be learned from the text that rats .[A]appear to be adaptable to new surroundings[B]are more socially active than other animals[C]behave differently from children in socializing[D]are more sensitive to social cues than expectedText 2It is true that CEO pay has gone up-top ones may make 300 times the pay oftypical workers on average, and since the mid-1970s CEO pay for large publicly traded American corporations has. by varying estimates, gone up by about 500%. The typical CEO of a top American corporation now makes about S18.9 million a year.The best model for understanding the growth of CEO pay is that of limited CEO talent in a world where business opportunities for the top firms are growing rapidly. The efforts of America's highest-earning 1% have been one of the more dynamic elements of the global economy. It's not popular to say, but one reason their pay has gone up so much is that CEOs really have upped their game relative to many other worker; in the U.S. economy.Today's CEO, at least for major American firms, must have many mere skills than simply being able to "run the company". CEOs must have a good sense of financial markets and maybe even how the company should trade in them. They also need better public relations skills than their predecessors, as the costs of even a minor slip up can be significant. Then there's the fact that large American companies are much more globalized than ever before, with supply chains spread across a larger number of countries. To lead in that system requires knowledge that is fairly mind-boggling plus, virtually all major American companies are beyond this major CEOs still have to doall the day-to-day work they have always done.The common idea that high CEO pay is mainly about ripping people off doesn't explain history very well. By most measures, corporate governance has become a lot tighter and more rigorous since the 1970s. Yet it is principally during this period of stronger governance that CEO pay has been high and rising. That suggests it is in the broader corporate interest to recruit top candidates for increasingly tough jobs.Furthermore, the highest CEO salaries are paid lo outside candidates, not to the cozy insider picks, another sign that high CEO pay is not some kind of depredation at the expense of the rest of the company. And the stock market reacts positively when companies tie CEO pay to, say. stock prices, a sign that those practices build up corporate value not just for the CEO.26.Which of the following has contributed to CEO pay rise?[A]The growth in the number of corporations[B]The general pay rise with a belter economy[C]Increased business opportunities for top firms[D]Close cooperation among leading economiespared with their predecessors, today's CEOs are required to .[A]foster a stronger sense of teamwork[B]finance more research and development[C]establish closer ties with tech companies[D]operate more globalized companies28.CEO pay has been rising since the 1970s despite .[A]continual internal opposition[B]strict corporate governance[C]conservative business strategies[D]Repeated government warnings29.High CEO pay can be justified by the fact that it helps ..[A]confirm the status of CEOs[B]motivate inside candidates[C]boost the efficiency of CEOs[D]increase corporate value30.The most suitable title for this text would be .[A]CEOs Are Not Overpaid[B]CEO Pay: Past and Present[C]CEOs' challenges of Today[D]CEO Traits: Not Easy to DefineText 3Madrid was hailed as a public health beacon last November when it rolled out ambitious restrictions on the most polluting cars. Seven months and one election daylater, a new conservative city council suspended enforcement of the clean air zone, a first step toward its possible demise.Mayor Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida made opposition to the zone a centerpiece of his election campaign, despite its success in improving air quality. A judge has now overruled the city's decision to stop levying fines, ordering them reinstated. Bui with legal battles ahead, the zone's future looks uncertain at best.Among other weaknesses, the measures c ities must employ when left to tackle dirty air on their own are politically contentious, and therefore vulnerable. That's because they inevitably put the costs of cleaning the air on to individual drivers-who must pay tees or buy better vehicles-rat her than on to the car manufacturers whose cheating is the real cause of our toxic pollution.It's not hard to imagine a similar reversal happening in London. The new ultra-low emission zone (Ulez) is likely to be a big issue in next year's mayoral election. And if Sadiq Khan wins and extends it to the North and South Circular roads in 2021 as he intends, it is sure to spark intense opposition from the far larger number of motorists who will then be affected.It's not that measures such as London's Ulez arc useless. Far from iL Local officials are using the levers that are available to them to safeguard residents' health in the face of a serious threat. The zones do deliver some improvements to air quality, and the science tells us that means real health benefits -fewer heart attacks, strokes and premature births, less cancer, dementia and asthma. Fewer untimely deaths.But mayors and councilors can only do so much about a problem that is far bigger than any one city or town.They are acting because national governments-Brilliant’s and others across Europe-have failed to do so.Restrictions that keep highly polluting cars out of certain areas -city centers, "school streels", even individual roads-are a response to the absence of a larger effort to properly enforce existing regulations and require auto companies to bring their vehicles into compliance. Wales has introduced special low speed limits to minimize pollution. We' re doing even-thing but insist that manufacturers clean up their cars.31.Which of the following is true about Madrid's clean air zone?[A]Its effects are questionable[B]It has been opposed by a judge[C]It needs tougher enforcement[D]Its fate is yet to be decided32.Which is considered a weakness of the city-level measures to tackle dirty air?[A]They are biased against car manufacturers.[B]They prove impractical for city councils.[C]They are deemed too mild for politicians.[D]They put too much burden on individual motorists.33.The author believes that the extension of London's Ulez will .[A]arouse strong resistance.[B]ensure Khan's electoral success.[C]improve the city's traffic.[D]discourage car manufacturing.34.Who does the author think should have addressed the problem?[A]Local residents[B]Mayors.[C]Councilors.[D]National governments.35.Il can be inferred from the last paragraph that auto companies .[A]will raise low-emission car production[B]should be forced to follow regulations [CJ will upgrade the design of their vehicles [D] should be put under public supervisionText 4Now that members of Generation Z are graduating college this spring-the most commonly-accepted definition says this generation was born after 1995. give or take a year-the attention has been rising steadily in recent weeks. GenZs are about to hit the streets looking for work in a labor market that's lighter than it's been in decades. And employers are planning on hiring about 17 percent more new graduates for jobs in the U.S. this year than last, according to a survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Everybody wants to know how the people who will soon inhabit those empty office cubicles will differ from those who came before them.If "entitled" is the most common adjective, fairly or not, applied lo millennials (those born between 1981 and 1995), the catchwords for Generation Z are practical and cautious. According to the career counselors and experts who study them, Generation Zs are clear-eyed, economic pragmatists. Despite graduating into the best economy in the past 50 years. Gen Zs know what an economic train wreck looks like. They were impressionable kids during the crash of 2008, when many of their parents lost their jobs or their life savings or both. They aren't interested in taking any chances. The boom economy seems to have done little to assuage this underlying generational sense o f anxious urgency especially for those who have college debt, College loan balances i n the U.S. now stand at a record ＄l. 5 trillion, according to the Federal Reserve.One survey from Accenture found that 8 percent of graduating seniors this yearchose their major with a job in mind. In a 2019 survey of University of Georgia students, meanwhile, the career office found the most desirable trait in a future employer was the ability to offer secure employment(followed by professional development and training, and then inspiring purpose). Job security or stability was the second most important career goal(work-life balance was number one),followed by a sense of being dedicated to a cause or to feel good about serving the greater good.36.

Generation Zs are keenly aware[A] what a tough economic situation is like[B] what their parents expect of them[C] how they differ from past generations[D] how valuable a counselor’s advice is38.

It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that Generation[A] care little about their performance[B] give top priority to professional training[C] think it hard to achieve work-life balance[D] have a clear idea about their future job40.

Think about how tough it is to get together 15 people, much less50, who all get along perfectly. But unlike in friendships, you need coworkers.You work with them every day and you depend on them just as they depend on you.Here are some ways that you can get the whole office on your side.41. _____If you have a bone to pick with someone in your workplace, you may try staylight-lipped around them. But you won't be helping either one of you A Harvard Business School study found that observers consistently rated those who were frankabout themselves m ore highly, while those who hid lost trustworthiness. The lesson isnot that you should make your personal life an open book, but rather, when given theoption to offer up details about yourself or painstakingly conceal them. you shouldjust be honest.42._____lust as important as being honest about yourself is being receptive to others. Weoften feel the need to tell others how we feel, whether it's a concern about a project, astray thought, or compliment. Those are all valid but you need to take time to hear outyour coworkers, too. In fact, rushing to get your own ideas out there can cause colleagues to feel you don’t value their opinions. Do your best to engage coworkers ina genuine, back-and-forth conversation, rather than prioritizing your own thoughts.43._____It's common to have a "cubicle mate" or special confidant in a work setting. Butin addition to those trusted coworkers, you should expand your horizons and find outabout all the people around you. Use your lunch and coffee breaks to meet up with colleagues you don't always see. Find out about their lives and interests beyond thejob. It requires minimal effort and goes a long way. This will help to grow yourinternal network, in addition to being a nice break in the work day44. _____Positive feedback is important for anyone to hear. And you don't have to be someone’s boss tell them theydid an unexceptional job on a particular project. This will help engender good will init or be fake about it. One study found that people responded others. But don’t over dobest comments that shifted from negative to positive, possibly because i t suggested they had won somebody over.45. _____This one may be a bit more difficult to pull off, but it can go a long way to achieving results. Remember in dealing with any coworker what they appreciate from an interaction. Watch out for how they verbalize with others. Some people like small talk in a meeting before digging into important matters, while other are more straightforward. Jokes that work one person won't necessarily land with another. So, adapt your style accordingly to type. Consider the person that you' re dealing with in advance and what will get you to your desired outcome.Section II Translation46. Directions:Translate the following text from English into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET(15 points)It's almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure. But, the wonderful thing about failure is that it's entirely up to us to decide how to look at it.We can choose to see failure as "the end of the world." Or, we can look at failure as the incredible learning experience that it often is. Every time we fail at something,we can choose to look for the lesson we' re meant to learn. These lessons are very important; they' re how we grow, and how we keep from making that same mistake again. Failures stop us only if we let them.Failure can also teach us things about ourselves that we would never have learned otherwise. For instance, failure can help you discover how strong a person you are. Failing at something can help you discover your truest friends, or help you find unexpected motivation to succeed.Section III WritingPart A47.Directions: Suppose you are planning a tour of a historical site for a group of international students.
