They rely on special communication channels enabled by modern technologies, such as emails, faxes, and teleconferences, and alike. Due to more limited communication channels, the success of virtual teams is much more sensitive to the type of project the group works on, what people are selected, and how the team is managed.73 One challenging case is the projects that rely heavily on integrated work. That is to say, when each person’s work depends significantly on what someone else is doing at the samemoment, like in a sports team, there is an ongoing heavy exchange of information in real time, and the tasks have to go through a strict order within a short time.Not everyone can perform well in a virtual team environment.74 Another important quality is communication skills. The team members must be able to communicate clearly and positively.Managers of virtual teams need to pay much more attention to having clear goals, performance standards, and communication rules. People have various assumptions on what to expect from each other. 75One of the biggest challenges of virtual teams is building trust between the team members. Trust is important for unblocking communication between members and increasing motivation of each person in the team. The issue of trust needs special attention at any stage of team existence.A. Yet, there is one significant difference.B. Not every type of project is suitable for a virtual team.C. A virtual team can choose whatever project they like to work on.D. The members must be self-motivated and able to work independently.E. Such teams are now widely used by companies and organizations to cut business costs.F. Members of virtual teams communicate quite well although they never meet face-to-face.G. To avoid misunderstanding, clear rules that everyone understands and agrees on are necessary.2015海淀第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）House SittingIn many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 71 (many people---retired people---thousands of them)So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yards and they need cleaning. 72 I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.73 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. 74 You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the home owner has a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.75 Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get are references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a writtenletter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well. You can show these letters to prospective house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.A. I have done house sitting many times.B. Thousands of people do this all the time.C. It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.D. Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job.E. You must take a little care over what your description says about you. （全文未涉及description）F. This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas. (广告语言，与文章风格迥异)G. You must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the country.2015西城第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）For people with thousands of pages to read, speed reading seems like a manna （甘露）from heaven．In addition, speed reading helps lighten the load of information you have to absorb since it provides a filter that you can use in screening all bits of information before you approach them．71 Examining how much information you need will help you identify how you should read a certain documentto maximize your learning and comprehension．Thorough reading may no longer be necessary in some cases, such as when you only need an outline of a certain document．Another skill that can ease the burden of a．reader is the ability to read words in blocks．Make sure you do not spend too long on a certain block．72 This will also make reading less tiresome and boring．T o master this important skill, you have topractice reading more and more words in a certain block at one time．A suggestion shared by some experts regarding this step is to increase the distance between you and the document you are reading．If you can read more and more words in one block, you can cut down on the time it usually takes you to read a certain text and you will be able to read more in a shorter period．Readers should also practice reducing the number of times they go back to previous sections or blocks．Using a pointer such as the tip of a pencil or pen can also help to make the flow of your reading smoother and faster．73 Thus, your speed in reading will largely depend on the speed of the movement of your pointer．If you still find yourself confused about the topic even after you have finished reading the document, do not re-read right away．Re-reading immediately will just lead to slower speed in reading．74 Getting your own reading corner will also help．75 Continue practicing and practicing the techniques aforementioned and soon, you'll achieve the reading speed that will work best for you．A．In this technique, your eyes will follow the tip of the pointer．B．This saves time and reduces the effort that you have to make．C．Taking a short break first is recommended before reading the material again．D．As a final note, the most．important point is consistent and deliberate practice．E．Your invaluable time can be saved if you can have your reading speed doubled．F．The first step to increase your reading speed is to identifythe specific information you need．G．Reducing the time you spend on a specific number of words in a block will make no difference．2015房山第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）Social PhobiaWhen people feel so self-conscious and anxious that it prevents them from speaking up or socializing most of the time, it's probably more than shyness. 71People with social phobia can usually interact easily with family and a few close friends. But meeting new people, talking in a group, or speaking in public can cause their extreme shyness to kick in. 72With social phobia, a person's fears and concerns are focused on their social performance —whether it’s a major class presentation or small tal k at the lockers. 73 They’re also sensitive to fears that they'll be embarrassed, look foolish, make a mistake, or be criticized or laughed at. Then they start to focus on the embarrassing things that could happen, instead of the good things. This makes a situation seem much worse than it is, and influences a person to avoid it.74 People with social phobia can learn to manage fear, develop confidence and coping skills, and stop avoiding things that make them anxious. But it's not always easy. Overcoming social phobia means getting up the courage it takes to go beyond what's comfortable, little by little.First, we can help people create a plan for facing social fears one by one, and help them build the skills and confidence to do it. This includes practicing new behaviors. Sometimes medications that reduce anxiety are also used as part of thetreatment for social phobia. 75They can encourage people with social phobia to pick a small goal to aim for, remind them to go for it, and be there when they might feel discouraged. Good friends and family are also there to celebrate each small success along the way.Dealing with social phobia takes patience, courage to face fears and try new things, and the willingness to practice. It takes a commitment to go forward rather than back away when feeling shy.A. And family or friends are especially important.B. It may be an anxiety condition called social phobia.C. They feel uncomfortable about being noticed or judged by others.D. So they avoid enjoying social activities, which can get in the way of life.E. Social phobia is a fear reaction to something that isn't actually dangerousF. Social phobia can be turned around with some focused slow but steady effort.G. Each small step forward helps build enough confidence to take the next small step.2015丰台第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）Personal ShoppersI was shopping with Thomas, who has been working as a personal shopper for the past five years. “Personal shoppers are in great demand these days,” he told me as we were walking past designer clothes shops. 71 He said that there were many people who wanted to be fashionable, but they didn’t know where to start. They needed a professional to advise them.But why? I always call my best friend to help me find the perfect dress, not a stranger!“72 The first thing I do is help my customer improve their image. I teach them to choose colours and clothes that suit them, and how to use make-up,” Thomas told me. “Then I organize the customer’s wardrobe.73 The third service has to do with actual shopping: the personal shopper and the customer visit shops and buy clothes according to the customer’s personality, lifestyle and needs.”Of course, each of the above services costs between 150 and 225 euros! 74 “Most of my customers a re r ich business people who call me for important meetings or business parties,” explained Thomas. “However, I also work for people in all kinds of jobs and for retired men and women who want a change of look.”We spent the rest of the day shopping. Every time we came out of a shop, we had one more bag. In the end, I went home with a beautiful dress, two pairs of trousers, some lovely tops and a couple of coats. I’d never had a shopping day like this before!I admit that I’d spent more than I usually do, but I wouldn’t have found such beautiful clothes without Thomas. 75A. I can help in three different ways.B. I asked him why this had happened.C. It depends on the customer’s preferences.D. I might even throw away some old clothes.E. I just wish personal shoppers were a bit cheaper!F. People need help with choosing the right clothes.G. I just wonder how many people have this kind of money to spend.2015北京市各城区高考英语一模七选五试题汇总东城BDCAG 朝阳EABDG 海淀BADGC 西城FBACD 房山BDCGA 丰台BADGE。

Sports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us．I have been into sports since I was six years old．I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski．I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before．I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem．That was a big mistake.Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met．He didn’t expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort．One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups (投篮) we missed in a game．Some think this is crazy, but it isn’t．After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “coach, that was the best practice I ever had.” I was completely sincere．This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school．He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom．If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters．In the first two years I slacked off, not putting forth my full potential．Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court．He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted．I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life．My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students．I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual．1．Different from other coaches, Coach Brian ________．A．concentrated on skill trainingB．trained the team to the edge of deathC．expected the team to do well in their studiesD．asked the team to do more reading than training2．The underlined phrase “slacked off” in the last paragraph probably means ________.A．paid no attentionB．showed no interestC．had less passionD．made less effort3．In the author’s eye, Coach Brian is ________.A．strict and helpfulB．hardworking and honestC．skilled and cruelD．professional and serious19. As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to．Yet re-readers are everywhere around us．For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually．One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times．New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading．Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliot’s Middlemarch at 17．Since then, she has read it again every five years．With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鸣) differently．Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines．These kinds of books grow with us.Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading．Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the “what” and the “why”．Second time round, we’re able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express．As researcher CristelRussell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we’re fond of making notes on the pages)．These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then．We’re changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience – by the books that we’ve discovered since last reading the one in our hand.More so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, usingwords to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life．A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.Perhaps what’s really strange is that we don’t re-read more often．After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn’t think of listening to an album only once．We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight．A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile. 1．The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to __________．A．attract the attention of readersB．introduce the topic of the passageC．provide some background informationD．show the similarity between re-readers2．The underlined expression “crack their spines” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.A．recite themB．re-read themC．recall themD．retell them3．It can be learned from the passage that __________.A．reading benefits people both mentally and physicallyB．readers mainly focus on feelings on their first readingC．we know ourselves better through re-reading experienceD．writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do4．The purpose of the passage is to __________.A．call on different understandings of old booksB．focus on the mental health benefits of readingC．bring awareness to the significance of re-readingD．introduce the effective ways of re-reading old books20. Every day we are exposed to images, videos, music and news．In this age of visual and aural hyper-stimulation, the medium of radio is making a great comeback.“We’re at the beginning of a golden age of audio,” said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald．In the last month alone, 15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast (播客)．These statistics, released by Edison Research, show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day’s digital podcast format．The term “podcast” was invented in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years．With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets, podcast sales have jumped.The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities (功能)．You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you’re walking to the shops, waiting in a queue or riding the subway．Similar to television shows, podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week.Donna Jackson, 22, Sydney University media graduate, listens to podcasts two or three times a week, via iTurns．“I listen while I’m wandering around the house doing something else．It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable… And it’s an easy way of keeping in touch with what’s going on in the rest of the world,” she said, “I mainly listen to BBC podcasts, but recently I’ve also been listening to This American Life and Serial．They have a special skill to really draw you in.”Unlike television and music, the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers．Blumberg says this owes to the podcast’s ability “to create close relationship and emotional connection.” Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust, majoring in social work and arts, agrees．“When you’re listening, it feels as if the voice of the podcast’s storyteller is talking directly to you．It’s comforting, ” said Proust.It seems the age-old tradition of verbal storytelling is very much alive and well.1．From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.A．traditional broadcast has come backB．Americans love listening to the radioC．podcasts have become very popular todayD．smartphones sell well because of podcasts2．The writer mentions Donna Jackson mainly to ________.A．tell how young people relax themselvesB．explain why young people like podcastsC．introduce what programs podcasts are presentingD．show how popular podcasts are presenting3．Paragraph 5 is mainly about ________.A．the influence of radiosB．the advantage of podcastsC．readers’ impression on radiosD．people’s reaction to the medium4．What is probably the best title of the passage?A．Return of RadioB．Opinions of PodcastC．Features of RadioD．Technology of Podcast四、信息匹配（共1小题）21.根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

My friends and I wanted not hing less than perfection.In high school, we joined the gymnastics team, and our 36 because even more important to us. We had no fat, only mus cle. On the weekends, we would go to the beach, 37 of our flat stomachs.One summer day, all my friends were at my house 38 . At one point, I was running back to the pool. I 39 on a bee, and while it was dying under my foot, it stung (蛰) me. I instantly started to feel 40 . That night, I began to run a high fever and my leg and foot were red, hot and swollen. I couldn’t walk. I could barely 41 .When my foot started to go numb, everyone became more 42 . My foot was not getting enough blood. I had to go to th e 43 , and my leg hurt as if it were badly broken. I couldn’t move. All I could do was think about how soft my middle was b ecoming.

She still had no hair, and she was swollen from medications she had been taking.I would not have given this girl a second 52 before. I now loved every inch of her and looked forward to her 53 .Finally, I was improving and soon I went home. My leg was still swollen, 54 I was walking, and I had my foot! When I would go back to the hospital, I often saw my friend. She was still visiting people and 55 good cheer. I thought if even there was an angel on this earth, it had to be her.36.

But I wasn’t about to let her know it. ―Come on,‖ I saidpatiently. ―It’s 38 to dive. Just hold your breath and jump into the water.‖ ―What if I don’t come back up?‖ she expressed 39 about it. I hesitated. ―What if I don’t come back up?‖ she 40 . ―You’ll jump in and save me,right?‖ Jump in? I 41 to myself. What is she—crazy? I can’t jump in there.

But she was still invisible.As I ran to 52 911, I heard her call out to me. Turning back I saw she was on the diving board again. ―That was a blast!‖ she said, diving into the water 53 more.I walked back to the pool and breathed a 54 of both relief and pride.
