But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn‟t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable—or unwilling—to “play the game.”“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior,”says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politi cs derives from the word …polite‟. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.”In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one‟s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form Of Socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,‟” says Neil P Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It‟s simple human nature.”Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery (奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.11. “Office politics” (Line 2, Para. 4) is used in the passage to refer to ________.A) the code of behavior for company staffB) the political views and beliefs of office workersC) the interpersonal relationships within a companyD) the various qualities required for a successful career12. To get promoted, one must not only be competent but ________.A) give his boss a good impressionB) honest and loyal to his companyC) get along well with his colleaguesD) avoid being too outstanding13. Why are many people unwilling to “play the game” (Line 4, Para. 5)?A) They believe that doing so is impractical.B) They feel that such behavior is unprincipled.C) They are not good at manipulating colleagues.D) They think the effort will get them nowhere.14. The author considers office politics to be ________.A) unwelcome at the workplaceB) bad for interpersonal relationshipsC) indispensable to the development of company cultureD) an important factor for personal advancement15. It is the author‟s view that ________.A) speaking up for oneself is part of human natureB) self-promotion does not necessarily mean flatteryC) hard work contributes very little to one‟s promotionD) many employees fail to recognize the need of flatteryPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.As soon as it was revealed that a reporter for Progressive magazine had discovered how to make a hydrogen bomb, a group of firearm (火器) fans formed the National Hydrogen Bomb Association, and they are now lobbying against any legislation to stop Americans from owning one.“The Constitution,” said the association‟s spokesman, “gives everyone the right to own arms. It doesn‟t spell out what kind of arms. But since anyone can now make a hydrogen bomb, the public should be able to buy it to protect themselves.”“Don‟t you think it‟s dangerous to have one in the house, particularly where there are children around?”“The National Hydrogen Bomb Association hopes to educate people in the safe handling of this type of weapon. We are instructing owners to keep the bomb in a locked cabinet and the fuse (导火索) separately in a drawer.”“Some people consider the hydrogen bomb a very fatal weapon which could kill somebody.”The spokesman said, “Hydrogen bombs don‟t kill people—people kill people. The bomb is for self-protection and it also has a deterrent effect. If somebody knows you have a nuclear weapon in your house, they‟re going to think twice about breaking in.”“But those who want to ban the bomb for American citizens claim that if you have one locked in the cabinet, with the fuse in a drawer, you would never be able to assemble it in time to stop an intruder (侵入者).”“Another argument against allowing people to own a bomb is that at the moment it is very expensive to build one. So what your association is backing is a program whichwould allow the middle and upper classes to acquire a bomb while poor people will be left defenseless with just handguns.”16. According to the passage, some people started a national association so as to________.A) block any legislation to ban the private possession of the bombB) coordinate the mass production of the destructive weaponC) instruct people how to keep the bomb safe at homeD) promote the large-scale sale of this newly invented weapon17. Some people oppose the ownership of H-bombs by individuals on the grounds that________.A) the size of the bomb makes it difficult to keep in a drawerB) most people don‟t know how to handle the weaponC) people‟s lives will be threatened by the weaponD) they may fall into the hands of criminals18. By saying that the bomb also has a deterrent effect the spokesman means that it________.A) will frighten away any possible intrudersB) can show the special status of its ownersC) will threaten the safety of the owners as wellD) can kill those entering others‟ houses by force19. According to the passage, opponents of the private ownership of H-bombs are verymuch worried that ________.A) the influence of the association is too powerful for the less privileged toovercomeB) poorly-educated Americans will find it difficult to make use of the weaponC) the wide use of the weapon will push up living expenses tremendouslyD) the cost of the weapon will put citizens on an unequal basis20. From the tone of the passage we know that the author is ________.A) doubtful about the necessity of keeping H-bombs at home for safetyB) unhappy with those who vote against the ownership of H-bombsC) not serious about the private ownership of H-bombsD) concerned about the spread of nuclear weaponsPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique—a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born With, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D. C., the world‟s only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher.Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the “hand talk” his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually: have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as “substandard”. Stokoe‟s idea was academic heresy (异端邪说).It is 37 years later. Stokoe—now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture—is having lunch at a cafe near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. “What I said,”Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth stuff —it‟s brain stuff.”21. The study of sign language is thought to be ________.A) a new way to look at the learning of languageB) a challenge to traditional, views on the nature of languageC) an approach: to simplifying the grammatical structure of a languageD) an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of language22. The, present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by ________.A) a famous scholar in the study of the human brainB) a leading specialist in the study of liberal artsC) an English teacher in a university for the deafD) some senior experts in American Sign Language23. According to Stokoe, sign language is ________.A) a Substandard languageB) a genuine languageC) an artificial languageD) an international language24. Most educators objected to Stokoe‟s idea because they thought ________.A) sign language was not extensively used even by deaf peopleB) sign language was too artificial to be widely acceptedC) a language should be easy to use and understandD) a language could only exist in the form of speech sounds25. Stokoe‟s argument is based on his belief that ________.A) sign language is as efficient as any other languageB) sign language is derived from natural languageC) language is a system of meaningful codesD) language is a product of the brainPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross‟s campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines. Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the World were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. “I knew the statistics,” she said.“But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like When I met Sandra, a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her.”The Princess concluded, with a simple message: “We must stop landmines”. And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an, attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as “very ill-informed” and a “loose cannon (乱放炮的人).”The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms: “This is a distraction (干扰) we do not need. All I‟m trying to do is help.”Opposition parties, the media and the Public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess‟s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government‟s policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkind, claimed that the Princess‟s views on landmines were not very different from government policy, andthat it was “working towards” a worldwide ba n. The Defense Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was “a misinterpretation or misunderstanding.”For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the Chance to get closer to people and their problems.26. Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in 1997 ________.A) to voice her support for a total ban of landminesB) to clarify the British government‟s stand on landminesC) to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims thereD) to establish her image as a friend of landmine victims27. What did Diana mean when she said “... putting a face to those figures brought thereality home to me” (Line 5, Para. 1)?A) She just couldn‟t bear to meet the landmine victims face to face.B) The actual situation in Angola made her feel like going back home.C) Meeting the landmine victims in person made her believe the statistics.D) Seeing the pain of the victims made her realize the seriousness of the situation.28. Some members of the British government criticized Diana because ________.A) she was ill-informed of the government‟s policyB) they were actually opposed to banning landminesC) she had not consulted the government before the visitD) they believed that she had misinterpreted the situation in Angola29.

But since anyone can now make a hydrogen bomb, the public should be able to buy it to protect themselves.Don’t you think it’s dangerous to have one in the house, particularly where there are children around?The National Hydrogen Bomb Association hopes to educate people in the safe handling of this type of weapon. We are instructing owners to keep the bomb in a locked cabinet and the fuse (导火索) separately in a drawer.Some people consider the hydrogen bomb a very fatal weapon which could kill somebody.The spokesman said, Hydrogen bombs don’t kill people—people kill people. The bomb is for self-protection and it also has a deterrent effect. If somebody knows you have a nuclear weapon in your house, they’re going to think twice about breaking in.But those who want to ban the bomb for American citizens claim that if you have one locked in the cabinet, with the fuse in a drawer, you would never be able to assemble it in time to stop an intruder (侵入者).Another argument against allowing people to own a bomb is that at the moment it is very expensive to build one. So what your association is backing is a program which would allow the middle and upper classes to acquire a bomb while poor people will be left defenseless with just handguns. 16. According to the passage, some people started a national association so as to ______.A) block any legislation to ban the private possession of the bombB) coordinate the mass production of the destructive weaponC) instruct people how to keep the bomb safe at homeD) promote the large-scale sale of this newly invented weapon17. Some people oppose the ownership of H-bombs by individuals on the grounds that _____.A) the size of the bomb makes it difficult to keep in a drawerB) most people don’t know how to handle the weaponC) people’s lives will be threatened by the weaponD) they may fall into the hands of criminals18. By saying that the bomb also has a deterrent effect the spokesman means that it _____.A) will frighten away any possible intrudersB) can show the special status of its ownersC) will threaten the safety of the owners as well2D) can kill those entering others’ houses by force19. According to the passage, opponents of the private ownership of H-bombs are very much worried that_____.A) the influence of the association is too powerful for the less privileged to overcomeB) poorly-educated Americans will find it difficult to make use of the weaponC) the wide use of the weapon will push up living expenses tremendouslyD) the cost of the weapon will put citizens on an unequal basis20. From the tone of the passage we know that the author is _______.A) doubtful about the necessity of keeping H-bombs at home for safetyB) unhappy with those who vote ;against the ownership of H-bombsC) not serious about the private ownership of H-bombsD) concerned about the spread of nuclear weaponsPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique—a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world’s only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher.Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the hand talk his students used looked richer. He wondered might deaf people actually have a genuine language and could that language be unlike any other on Earth It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as substandard. Stokoe’s idea was academic heresy (异端邪说).It is 37 years later. Stokoe—now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture—is having lunch at a cafénear the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. What I said, Stokoe explains, is that language is not mouth stuff—it’s brain stuff.21. The study of sign language is thought to be ________.A) a new way to look at the learning of languageB) a challenge to traditional views on the nature of languageC) an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a languageD) an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of language22. The present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by _______.A) a famous scholar in the study of the human brainB) a leading specialist in the study of liberal artsC) an English teacher in a university for the deafD) some senior experts in American Sign Language23. According to Stokoe, sign language is ________.3A) a substandard languageB) a genuine languageC) an artificial languageD) an international language24. Most educators objected to Stokoe’s idea because they thought _______.A) sign language was not extensively used even by deaf peopleB) sign language was too artificial to be widely acceptedC) a language should be easy to use and understandD) a language could only exist in the form of speech sounds25. Stokoe’s argument is based on his belief that _________.A) sign language is as efficient as any other languageB) sign language is derived from natural languageC) language is a system of meaningful codesD) language is a product of the brainPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross’s campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines. Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. “I knew the statistics”, she said. “But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13- year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her.”The Princess concluded with a simple message: “We must stop landmines”. And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as very ill-informed and a loose cannon (乱放炮的人).”he Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms. “This is a distraction (干扰) we do not need. All I’m trying to do is help.”Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess’s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government’s policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkidnd, claimed that the Princess’s views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was working towards a worldwide ban. The Defense Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was a misinterpretation or misunderstanding.For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems.26. Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in 1997 ________.A) to voice her support for a total ban of landminesB) to clarify the British government’s stand on landminesC) to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims thereD) to establish her image as a friend of landmine victims427. What did Diana mean when she said “ ... putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me(Line 5, Para.1)” ?A) She just couldn’t bear to meet the landmine victims face to face.B) The actual situation in Angola made her feel like going back home.C) Meeting the landmine victims in person made her believe the statistics.D) Seeing the pain of the victims made her realize the seriousness of the situation.28. Some members of the British government criticized Diana because ______.A) she was ill-informed of the government’s policyB) they were actually opposed to banning landminesC) she had not consulted the government before the visitD) they believed that she had misinterpreted the situation in Angola29.

"what i said," stokoe explains, "is that language is not mouth stuff- its brain stuff."11. the study of sign language is thought to bea) an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a languageb) an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of languagec) a challenge to traditional views on the nature of languaged) a new way to took at the learning of language [c]12.the present growing interest in sign language was stimulated bya) a leading specialist in the study of liberal artsb) an english teacer in a university for the deaf"c) some senior experts in american sign languaged) a famous scholar in thestudy of the human brain13. according to stokoe, sign language isa) an international language c) an artificial languageb) a substandard language d) a genuine language [d]14. most educators objected to stokoes idea because they thoughta) a language should be easy to use and understandb) sign language was too artificial to be widely acceptedc) a language could only exist in the form of speech soundsd) sign language was not extensively used even by deaf people [c]15. stokoes argument is based on his belief thata) language is a product of the brainb) language is a system of meaningful codesc) sign language is derived from natural languaged) sign language is as efficient as any other language [a]passage twoquestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.a is for always getting to work on time.b is for being extremely busy.c is for the conscientious ( 勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job.you may be all these things atthe office, and more. butwhen it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the abcs of business should include a p, for politics, as in office politics.dale carnegie suggested asmuch more than 50 years ag hard work alone doesnt ensure career advancemen. you have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind thescefies. yet, despite the ovious rewards of engaging in office politics - a better job, a raise, praise- many people are still unable or unwilling - to "play the game.""people assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior," says deborah comer, an assistant professor of management at hofstra university. "but politics derives from the word polite. it can mean lobbying and forming associations. it can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying, to please your superior, and thenexpecting something in return."in fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue ones own self-interest in the workplace. in many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environment - not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well."the first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis," says neil p. lewis,a management psychologist. "but if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or shelikes best. its simple human nature."yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. still others associate politics withfiattery 奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.16. "office politics" (line 2, para. 4) is used in the passage to refer toa) the political views and beliefs of office workersb) the interpersonal relationships within a companyc) the various qualities required for a successful careerd) the code of behavior for company staff17. to get promoted, one must not only be competent buta) avoid being too outstandingb) get along well with his colleaguesc) honest and loyal to his companyd) give his boss a good impression [d]18. why are many people unwilling to "play the game" (line 4, para. 5)?a) they are not good at manipulating colleagues.b) they feel that such behavior is unprincipled.c) they think the effort will get them nowhere.d) they believe that doing so is impractical.19. the author considers office poetics to be .a) unwelcome at the workplaceb) bad for interpersonal relationshipsc) an important factor for personal advancementd) indispensable to the development of company culture[c]20. it is the authors view thata) self-promotion does not necessarily mean flatteryb) hard work contributes very little to ones promotionc) many employees fail to recognize the need of flatteryd) speaking up for oneself is part of human nature [a]passage threequestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.it came as something of a surprise when diana, princessof wales, made a trip co angola in 1997, to support the red crosss campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines. within hours of arriv!ng in angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. "i knew the statistics," she said. "but putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like when i met sandra, a 13- year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her."the princess concluded with a simple message: "we must stop landmines". and she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.but, back in london, her views were not shared by some members of the british government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. angry politicians launched an attack on the princess in the press. they described her as "very ill-informed" and a "loose cannon (乱放跑的人)the princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms: "this is a distraction ( 干扰) we do not need. all im trying to do is help."opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the princess. to make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the princesss triphad been approved by the foreign office, and that she was in fact very well-inf0rmed about both the situa-tion in angola and the british governments policy regarding landmines. the result was a severe embarrassment for the government.to try and limit the damage, the foreign secretary, malcolm rifkidnd, claimed that the princesss views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was "working towards" a worldwide ban. the defence secretary, michael portillo, claimed the matter was "a misinterpretation or misunderstanding." -for the princess, the trip to this war-torn countrywas an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. she said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems.21. princess diana paid a visit to angola in 1997a) to clarify the british governments stand on landminesb) to establish her image as a friend of landmine victimsc) to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims thered) to voice her support for a total ban of landmines [d]22. what did diana mean when she said "... putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me" (line 5, para.1)?a) meeting the landmine victims in person made her believe the statistics.b) she just couldnt bear to meet the landmine victims face to face.c) the actual situation in angola made her feel like going back home.d) seeing the pain of the victims maher realize the seriousness of the situation.

[c]passage fourquestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.as soon as it was revealed that a reporter for progressive magazine had discovered how to make a hydrogen bomb, a group offirearm ( 火器) fans formed the national hydrogen bomb association, and they are now lobbying against any legislation to stop americans from owning one."the constitution," said the associations spokesman, "gives everyone the right to own arms. it doesnt spell out what kind of arms. but since anyone can now make a hydrogen bomb, the public should be able to buy it to protect themselves.""dont you think its dangerous to have one in the house, particularly where there are children around?""the national hydrogen bomb association hopes to educate people in the safe handling of this type of weapon. weare instructing owners to keep the bomb in a locked cabinet and the fuse (导火索) separately in a drawer.""some people consider the hydrogen bomb a very fatal weapon which could kill somebody."the spokesman said, "hydrogen bombs dont kill people - people kill people. the bomb is for self-protection and it also has a deterrent effect. if somebody knows you have a nuclear weapon in your house, theyre going to think twice about breaking in.""but those who want to ban the bomb for american citizens claim that ifyou have one locked in the cabinet, with the fuse in a drawer, you would never be able to assemble it in time to stop an intruder ( 侵入者）""another argument against allowing people to own a bomb is that at the moment it is very expensive to build one. so what your association is backing is a program which would allow the middle and upper classes to acquire a bomb while poor people will be left defenseless with just handguns."26. according to the passage, some people started a national

effect the spokesman means that ita) can kill those entering others houses by forceb) will threaten the safety of the owners as wellc) will frighten away any possible intrudersd) can show the special status of its owners [c]29. according to the passage, opponents of the private ownership of h-bombs are very much worried thata) the cost of the weapon will put citizens on an unequal basisb) the wide use of the weapon will push up living expenses tremendouslyc) poorly-educated americans will find it difficult to make use of the weapond) the influence of the association is too powerful for the less

about the necessity of keeping h-bombs at home for safetyd) unhappy with those who vote against the ownership of h-bombs [c]directions there are 30 incomplete sentences in this part. for each sentence
