HenryFayol

Henry II (5 March 1133 – 6 July 1189) ruled as King of England (1154– 1189), Henry, the greatgrandson of William the Conqueror, was the first of the House of Plantagenet (金雀花王朝
Like his grandfather, Henry I of England, Henry II had an outstanding knowledge of the law. A talented linguist and excellent Latin speaker. Henry was modest and mixed with all classes easily. "He does not take upon himself to think high thoughts, his tongue never swells with elated language; he does not magnify himself as more than man". His generosity was well-known .
Death and succession
The final thorn（王权） in Henry„s side would be an alliance（结盟） between his eldest surviving son, Richard, and his greatest rival, Philip Augustus. John had become Henry‟s favorite son and Richard had begun to fear he was being written out of the king„s inheritance（遗产）. In summer 1189, Richard and Philip invaded(袭击) Henry's heartland of power. Henry II met his opponents and agreed to all their demands, including paying homage to Philip for all his French possessions. Weak, ill, and deserted by all but an illegitimate son （私生子）, Geoffrey, Henry died on 6 July 1189. The Prince, Henry's eldest surviving son and conqueror, was crowned "by the grace of God, King Richard I of England" at Westminster on 1 September 1189.

►In
writing style, O. Henry uses the civilian language, therefore readers can easily understand what he wants to express. ►Another characteristic of his language is implicative. His sense of humor expresses indirectly. Readers can still recall after reading.

统一指挥原则
（Unity of Command）
统一指挥是一个重要的管理原则，按照这个原则的要求，一 个下级人员只能接受一个上级的命令。如果两个领导人同时 对同一个人或同一件事行使他们的权力，就会出现混乱。在 任何情况下，都不会有适应双重指挥的社会组织。与统一指 挥原则有关的还有下一个原则，即统一领导原则。
基本简介
• 法约尔的管理功能理论认为管理功能包括 计划、组织、命令、协调和控制。管理企 业的六项基本活动是：技术、商业、财务、 安全、会计和管理（核心）。管理不是专 家或经理独有的特权和责任，而是企业全 体成员（包括工人）的共同职责，只是职 位越高，管理责任越大。他在实践基础上 总结出14条管理原则，即分工、职权与职 责、纪律、统一指挥、统一领导、公益高 于私利、个人报酬、集中化、等级链、秩 序、公正、保持人员的稳定、首创精神、 集体精神。
人员的报酬原则
（Remuneration）
法约尔认为，人员报酬首先“取决于不受雇主的意愿和所属人员的才能 影响的一些情况，如生活费用的高低、可雇人员的多少、业务的一般状 况、企业的经济地位等，然后再看人员的才能，最后看采用的报酬方 式”。人员的报酬首先要考虑的是维持职工的最低生活消费和企业的基 本经营状况，这是确定人员报酬的一个基本出发点。在此基础上，再考 虑根据职工的劳动贡献来决定采用适当的报酬方式。对于各种报酬方式， 法约尔认为不管采用什么报酬方式，都应该能做到以下几点：①它能保 证报酬公平；②它能奖励有益的努力和激发热情；③它不应导致超过合 理限度的过多的报酬。
• 管理必须善于预见未来。法约尔十分重视计划职能，尤其强调制定长期计划，这是他对管 理思想做出的一个杰出贡献。他的这一主张，在今天看来仍像在他那个时代一样重要。面 对剧烈变化的环境．计划职能更为关键。许多企业缺乏战略管理的思维，很少考虑长期的 发展，不制定长期规划，其结果多为短期行为，丧失长远发展的后劲，埋下了不稳定的隐 患。

3、服务比赚钱更重要。这无疑是福特整个商业思维中最最核心的内容。我之所以把 福特的思想称之为商业理念中的禅宗，是因为他是那样的超越表象、直指人心，而又 坚固执着，深为金融界的魔鬼们所不喜。但是，商业的真实又的确如此：只有在你真 正地满足了顾客的需求，才可能有利润等等一切。把眼睛是思维始终盯在顾客的钱包 是不对的，也是短视的。试看福特关于服务经济的最精彩的阐述：商家对顾客的服务 并没有因为商品的售出便结束了，恰恰相反的是，这是他与顾客的关系刚刚开始。以 汽车行业为例，车辆售出后只是代表着商品交易活动的开端，因为卖出的这辆车其实 也是在为商家做广告，如果此车不能为顾客提供尽如人意的服务，那么他无疑是失去 了一个商机，肯定会有一个糟糕透顶的坏广告。
由于该车价格低廉、使用方便、维护容易，销售异常火爆。 累计1500多辆的产量更是创造了空前的纪录。T型车既使福 特获得了巨大的成功，也成为了普通民众的交通工具，改变 了人们的生活方式、思维方式和娱乐方式，将人类带入了汽 车时代。
福特T型车
1908年
亨利.福特与T型车
20年代后期，美国开始形成了一个巨大的旧车市场，大 批质量相当不错的二手车只需几十甚至十几美元就可买到， 这对一向以“价廉物美”而著称的T型车是一个极大的冲击。 同时，由斯隆领导的通用汽车公司生产出了许多时髦多样和 先进豪华的汽车，满足了不同阶层的购买需求，也对T型车形 成了较大的竞争压力。1927年，顽固的福特不得不让自己心 爱的黑色T型车死亡，整个公司停产一年转产新的A型车。
1913年，12000 多名员工聚在 Hightland Park 装配厂前。
由于转产组织匆忙、耗资巨大，加之接踵而来的经济大萧
条的影响，福特公司元气大伤，整个30年代都未能恢复，分别 被通用（1927年）和克莱斯勒（1936年）超过。后来经过全 公司员工的拼力追赶，才算在“全国第二”的位置上站稳脚跟， 那种产量独占全国一半以上的日子一去不复返了。1945年，福 特不得不让位于孙子亨利·福特二世。1947年4月7日，亨利福 特因脑溢血死于底特律，终年83。

By the time he left the newspaper after less than three years,O.Henry had established his reputation(23)______a gifted storyteller and master of surprise endings.O.Henry was the pen name used by William Sydney Porter,who was born in North Carolina.At the age of twenty,he moved to Texas.(24)______he held a variety of jobs,eventually becoming a bank teller.He married and became a reporter and columnist for the Houston Post.After a few years,his wife(25)______(diagnose)with a serious infectious disease,and he was accused of illegally taking the money of the bank where he worked.Some people have claimed(26)_____he was stealing money to help pay his wife's medical bills.O.Henry fled to Central America,but his wife was too ill to accompany him.Months later,(27)_____her condition worsened,he returned and turned himself in to the police.His wife soon died,and O.Henry spent three years in prison in Ohio.It was during his time in prison that he began writing the stories that would make him famous.W.S.Porter(28)______(emerge)from prison as O.Henry.In1902O.Henry moved to New York City and started trying to sell his stories.In a few years his luck changed for the better,and his position with the New York World helped make him a (29)______(celebrate)author.He published more than three hundred stories and gained worldwide acclaim.O.Henry's writing is admired for its colorful and realistic depictions of the everyday lives of New Yorkers.His stories are known for their plot twists and surprise endings.In fact,O.Henry's own life ended with a"twist"--his funeral was somehow scheduled in the same church at the same time as someone else's wedding!The O.Henry Award(30)______(honor)the authors of the best stories printed each year in American magazines.Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.advancesbedD.headsE.automationF.modestprehensive H.thinned I.prior J.underlie K.unearthDoes technology replace more jobs than it creates?What is the___31___balance between these two things?Until now,that has not been measured.But a new research project led by MIT economist David Autor has developed an answer,at least for U.S.history since1940.The study uses new methods to examine how many jobs have been lost to machine___32___,and how many have been generated through“augmentation(增强),”in which technology creates new tasks. Overall,the study finds,and particularly since1980,technology has replaced more U.S.jobs than it has generated.“There does appear to be a faster rate of automation,and a slower rate of augmentation,in the last four decades,from1980to the present,than in the four decades___33___,”says Autor. However,that finding is only one of the study's___34___.The researchers have also developed an entirely new method for studying the issue,based on an analysis of thousands of U.S.census job categories in relation to a(n)___35___look at the text of U.S.patents over the last century.That has allowed them,for the first time,to quantify the effects of technology over both job loss and job creation.The study finds that overall,about60percent of jobs in the U.S.represent new types of work, which have been created since1940.To determine this.Autor and his colleagues___36___ through about35,000job categories,tracking how they emerge over time.They also used natural language processing tools to analyze the text of every U.S.patent filed since1920.The research examined how words were"embedded"in the census and patent documents to___37___related passages of text.That allowed them to determine links between new technologies and their effects on employment.From about1940through1980,for instance,jobs like elevator operator and typesetter tended to get automated.But at the same time,more workers filled roles such as shipping and receiving clerks,buyers and department___38___,and civil and space engineers.From1980through2018, the ranks of cabinetmakers and machinists,among others,have been___39___by automation, while industrial engineers,and operations and systems researchers and analysts,have enjoyed growth.Ultimately,the research suggests that the negative effects of automation on employment were more than twice as great in the1980-2018period as in the1940-1980period.There was a more ___40___,and positive,change in the effect of augmentation on employment in1980-2018,as compared to1940-1980.III.Reading Comprehension(45分)Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before,and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for___41___periods.The rise of"city breaks"48-hour bursts of foreign cultures,easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers.but not their___42___spread.The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris,Barcelona and Venice for decades,and visitors use the same infrastructure(基础设施)as residents to reach them.“Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,"says Font,an expert in tourism."For___43___,the city no longer belongs to them.”In response to this situation,cities have come up with various solutions.For instance, Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek___44___outside of the city center on its official website.“That takes courage,really,to do that.But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they're doing all they can to45congestion.”But it also proposes a better way,which is called"de-tourism":sustainable travel tips and___ 46___schedules for exploring a real Venice,off the paths beaten by the28million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of___47___for prospective visitors--ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example,or outside of the city center--can have the effect of removing them from already crowded landmarks,or___48___short breaks away in the first place.Longer stays___49___the pressure,says Font.'If you go to Paris for two days,you're going to the Eiffel Tower.If you go for two weeks,you're not going to go to the Eiffel Tower14times."Similarly,repeat visitors have a better sense of the___50___,“We should be asking how we can get tourists to___51___,not how to get them to come for the first time.If they're coming for the fifth time,it is much easier to integrate their behaviors with ours."Font says cities could stand to be more___52___about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are,and how far they've come.

Other kayakers rushed to our aid,shocked to see us alive.But I am much more aware of the power of nature and the ocean than I was before.Liz was shaken up,comparing the ordeal to a near-death experience,and she says her whale-watching days are over.But even she had to laugh when she got home that afternoon and realized she'd brought back a souvenir.When she pulled offher shirt,six silverfish flopped out.56.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.At first,Liz was hesitant to go on the kayaking trip because she was not interested in whale watching.B.If Liz and I had maintained a distance of300feet from the whales,we might have avoided the subsequent danger.C.Liz and I slipped into the whale's mouth because jumping silverfish overturned our kayak.D.Liz is likely to go on another whale-watching trip someday because she found a precious souvenir from this kayaking.57.How did the narrator feel during the whale encounter?A.Terrified and panicked.B.Disoriented underwater.C.Calm and focused.D.Regretful about going kayaking.58.The underlined word"ordeal"in Paragraph5probably meansA.a challenging or difficult experienceB.a thrilling experienceC.a surprising encounterD.a joyful adventure59.What would be the best title of this passage?A.How to Survive a Whale AttackB.Respecting the Power of NatureC.A Day at San Luis Obispo BeachD.I Survived Being Swallowed By a Whale(B)IN CONTEXTBRANCHGeologyBEFORE6th century BCE The Greek thinker Thales of Miletus notes magnetic rocks,or lodestones(天然磁石).1st century CE Chinese By the late1500s,ships'captains already relied on magnetic compasses to maintain their course across the oceans.Yet no one knew how they worked.Some thought the compass needle was attracted to the North Star,others that it was drawn to magnetic mountains in the Arctic.It was English physician William Gilbert who discoveredthat Earth itself is magnetic.Stronger reasons are obtained from sure experiments and demonstrated arguments than from prohable conjectures (推测)amd the opinions of philasophical speculators. William Gilbertdiviners make primitive compasses with iron spoon that can turn around to point south.1269French scholar Pierre de Maricourt sets out the basic laws of magnetic attraction,repulsion,and poles.AFTER1824French mathematician Siméon Poisson models the forces in a magnetie field.1940s American physicist Walter Maurice Elsasser attributes Earth's magnetic field to iron swirling in its outer core as theplanet rotates.1958Explorer1space mission shows Earth's magnetic field extending far out into space.Gilbert's breakthrough came not from a flash of inspiration, but from17years of careful experiment.He learned all he could from ships"captains and compass makers,and then he made a model globe,or“terrella,”out of the magnetic rock lodestone and tested compass needles against it.The needles reacted around the terrella just as ships'compasses did on a larger scale—showing the same patterns of declination(pointing slightly away from true north at the geographic pole,which differs from magnetic north)and inclination(tilting down from the horizontaltoward the globe)Gilbert concluded,rightly,that the entire planet is a magnet and has a core of iron.He published his ideas in the book De Magnete(On the Magnet)in1600,causing a sensation. Johannes Kepler and Galileo,in particular,were inspired by his suggestion that Earth is not fixed to rotating celestial spheres,as most people still thought,but is made to spin by the invisible force of its own magnetism.60.Before the16century,how did captains navigate across oceans?A.The North Star navigated their ships.B.The magnetic mountains in the Arctic guided their journey.C.Magnetic compasses helped them maintain the course.D.The forces in a magnetic field attracted the ships.61.How did William Gilbert find out the fact that Earth itself is magnetic?A.Through trials and errors.B.Through some personal philosophical speculation.C.By acquiring some flash inspiration.D.By studying the ideas of some philosophers.62.Which of the following statement might Galileo agree with?A.The earth stays still.B.Gilbert successfully refuted the laws of magnetic attraction.C.Gilbert's findings and conclusions are sensational.D.The earth has its own magnetic field.(C)Could your dog be prone to a fatal disease?Is your new shelter pup part beagle or boxer?Many pet owners seek answers to these questions,and as a result,direct-to-consumer dog DNA testing is booming.Human interfering with dog DNA has long been the driving factor behind dogs"breed diversity --or lack thereof.But a dog's DNA can also be used to confirm their lineage(血统)or identify their breed,a boon for pet owners on the lookout for breed-specific health or behavioral challenges or those looking to confirm their dog really has the heritage claimed by a breeder or seller.During DNA analysis,labs sequence the dog's DNA and look for similarities with a dataset of identified dog breeds.But breed identification isn't as simple as it might seem.In a study published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association last month,scientists looked into the accuracy of breed prediction in commercially available DNA tests that required a photo of the dog in addition to its DNA sample.The results were mixed,says Casey Greene,a professor who co-authored the study.“Most tests could accurately distinguish the breed of purebred dogs,”says Greene.But the analysis suggested that some testing companies might rely on the photo more than the dog's actual genetics-and revealed big differences between companies'business practices and the genetic datasets they use to determine dog breeds.The researchers submitted photos and DNA of12purebred dogs to a total of six commercial canine(犬的)ancestry identification services.Since each pup was purebred and possessed extensive American Kennel Club paperwork,the researchers knew their breed conclusively—but in some cases they provided a photo of a different dog to see if the photo influenced the DNA results.One of the companies misidentified a purebred Chinese crested dog--almost entirely hairless--as a long-haired Brittany spaniel,seemingly based on the photo alone.The other five did identify the registered breed correctly,but often gave different predictions for other"ancestor"breeds in dogs whose DNA suggested mixed breeding in prior generations.The researchers concluded that veterinarians and pet owners alike should"approach direct-to-consumer tests with caution”given the lack of industry standardization and at least onecompany's reliance on photographs instead of DNA analysis.Despite these concerns,though,dog DNA seems headed for a golden age--and the insights revealed through further study of Fido's genome(基因组)have already reached far beyond the doghouse.Domesticated dogs have emerged as surprising superstars in medical research that benefits humans.According to researchers,that's just the beginning,With implications ranging from entertaining to consequential,there's no telling what dog DNA will continue to unleash.63.The underlined word"boon"in paragraph two is closest in meaning to______.A.blessingB.substituteC.dutyD.struggle64,According to the passage,dog DNA testing can serve the following purposes except that______.A.it assists in accurately determining the breed a dog belongs toB.it helps to predict whether dogs are subject to certain diseasesC.it provides pet owners with insights into dogs'behavioral challengesD.it sequences the DNA of identified dog breeds to find their similarities65.Which of the following statements can be concluded from the passage?A.Photos play a more significant role in identifying a dog's breed than its actual genetics.B.It is a common phenomenon that the DNA analysis of dogs may yield mixed results.mercial dog DNA tests still have limitations and should be dealt with cautiously.D.Direct-to-consumer tests overshadow DNA analysis in identifying purebred dogs.66.What does the passage suggest about the future of dog DNA testing?A.Controversies regarding its reliability are here to stay.B.It is bound to make breakthroughs in the fields of medicine and entertainment.C.It can step into a golden age as long as some research limitations are fixed.D.It may have far-reaching significance and be applied to a wider range of areas.Section CDirections:Read the following passages.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Early interventions are key,so you've got to stay active.B.Perhaps surprisingly,those who deal with it have struggled to settle on a single definition.C.It's not something we're born with,but also it's not something we learn,but an ability that we gain early and lose over time.D.For some people,just try to build in an element of balance and muscle strengthening.E.Maybe you used to be able to quickly stand on one leg to put a shoe on,and you've stopped doing that at some point.F.Whatever activity you choose,the lesson is to work on your balance before you need to,notwhen it becomes an issue.Until we start to lose our balance,we barely notice that it's there at all."It starts for a lot of people with simple stuff,"says Dr Anna Lowe,an expert on healthy ageing and physical activity. ______67_______It's easy to either miss the signs or just put it down to ageing--but it really is something you can affect.”The key,it is increasingly becoming clear,is to address the decline before it gets serious:and that can happen earlier than you might think.What is balance?Technically,it's the complex interaction of several different systems in your body-from muscles,nerves,eyesight and the inner ear to the sensory system that lets you recognise where your body is touching the ground,along with movement receptors within your joints that tell you where your body is in space.______68______A lack of balance is,globally,associated with serious health problems.Earlier this year,the British Jourmal of Sports Medicine published the results of a decade-long study involving more than1,700middle-aged participants,which concluded that an inability to balance was associatedwith an almost twofold increase in risk of death.“______69______"agrees Lowe,an associate professor researching strength and balance in midlife.“Older women are far less active than older men,and general activity,just moving around and doing stuff,affects balance a lot.Single-legged movements,such as walking lunges, are a great test of dynamic(动态的)balance,but even bilateral movements,like squats(深蹲),can provide a challenge."______70_______Resistance exercise,whether that means lifting weights or hiking with a backpack,comes with a host of other proven health benefits,from improved bone density to a reduced risk of Alzheimer's.As Locker puts it:everyone's told to save money for their retirement, and nobody's taught to save their balance.But both are difficult to get back once they're gone.IV.Summary Writing(10分)71.Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.It seems that deep,long-lasting happiness comes from intangible things,rather than things like chocolates and smart-phones.One essential factor is human relationships.People who have the support of family members and also have strong friendships are more likely to be happy. Feeling protected and respected and knowing you can trust in the people around you is vital.But happiness means you have to give and take.Performing acts of kindness and generosity on a regular basis,for example,listening to a friend in need for carrying a ncighbor's shopping,will make you feel on top of the world.Even a simple smile can work wonders.In fact,they say that one smile makes a person feel as good as eating2,000bars of chocolates(not all at once,ofcourse).It is not surprising that health is another key contributor to happiness.Poor health will certainly make you feel down in the mouth.But being healthy and staying healthy require some effort.A healthy diet is crucial and so is regular ziness will not make you happy. Exercising for20to30minutes a day helps to reduce stress and anxiety and makes you feel more positive and optimistic because it releases endorphins(feel-good chemicals).So,if you have been feeling blue and worrying too much about your exams,get exercising.You'll also find that you sleep better.Talking of sleep,do you often wake up feeling miserable?If so,it's probably because you haven't had enough of it.Teenagers tend to go to bed too late and have to get up early,so many suffer from a lack of sleep.Tiredness will certainly affect your happiness levels and put you in a bad mood.It also affects your ability to concentrate and may slow your growth.So if you want to be happy and do well at school,try to get at least eight hours of sleep a night.Now that you know the theory,it's time to put it all into practice.第二卷V.Translation(15分)Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.景区可利用短视频提升知名度，助力文旅宣传。

经营管理理论之父——法约尔
法约尔(Henry Fayol, 1841-1925)，法国人 1860年从圣艾蒂安国立矿业学院毕业进入康塔
里·福尔香堡采矿冶金公司工作 从采矿工程师一直做到公司总经理 1916年发表《工业管理与一般管理》 其管理理论不但可用于工商企业，还可用于政

法约尔管理思想一、法约尔管理思想简介亨利·法约尔（HenryFayol，1841——1925），法国科学管理专家，西方管理理论过程学派的代表人物之一。

1860年从国立矿业学院毕业后，在福尔尚布采矿冶金公司工作，先后担任工程师、矿长、经理、总经理。

从1918年创立管理科学研究中心开始，法约尔的晚年专门从事管理科学方面的研究。

他一生发表了许多重要著作和论文，其中《工业管理和一般管理》是其代表作。

在这本书里，法约尔系统阐述了他的管理思想。

（一）管理的本质及五大要素通过对经营和管理这两个概念进行比较，法约尔揭示了管理的定义和本质。

他认为，经营和管理是两个不同的概念，经营是“指导和引导一个组织去达到一个目标”，经营行为包括六种活动，即技术活动、商业活动、财务活动、安全活动、会计活动和管理活动。

任何企业都存在着这六种活动。

而管理活动则只是这六种活动中的一种，是企业从事经营活动必备的而且是非常重要的宏观活动。

什么叫管理？法约尔认为，管理就是实行计划、组织、指挥、协调和控制。

计划是主要的管理活动之一，是指预测未来并制定行动方案。

科学的管理首先必须对未来作出判断，并为未来的活动制定规则，而且计划必须保持统一、灵活、连续、精确和具有前瞻性等特点。

组织是指建立企业的物质结构和社会结构。

管理的目的和任务就是要建立一种最有效的组织架构，从而使企业的计划得以很好的制定和完成。

法约尔特别强调，企业组织的社会人员结构应遵守等级系列原则，1个工头管15名工人，1个上级领导4个下级，从而形成金字塔型的人员等级系列。

管理的第三要素是指挥。

指挥是指领导机构或个人运用领导艺术和手段指使企业组织和人员实施企业计划，达成企业目标。

各种组织的组织工作要由综合素质高、领导能力强的人来担任。

负责指挥的管理机构或个人必须遵循8种原则才能达到指挥的正确性和高效性。

协调是组织管理活动必不可少的内容，它是指让企业人员团结一致，使企业中的所有活动和努力和谐统一。
