Success has something to do with leadership.

【正确答案】：√

【本题分数】：2.0分

【答案解析】

[听力原文]1-10

For most of us, success and the ability to control our own fate are linked to our ability to lead. Leadership, in fact, is something that concerns everyone. A leader does not necessarily occupy a formal leadership position, for example, as the assistant secretary of state or the chief executive officer. Very often people with leadership titles are not necessarily leaders. Parents, spouses, teammates, colleagues, friends, classmates or playmates can all be leaders if they so desire.

A teacher can also be as a leader as he or she is a friend. In fact, most of us spend a great deal of time trying to get other people to do willingly what we want them to do, and that, in the purest sense of the term, is what leadership is all about. Of course, we can force people to do things for a short period of time, but that is not leadership. A true leader is apt to persuade and influence other people to accept his ideas, to follow him and to take action.

So, what is the essence of leadership? Basically, what is required of a true leader? It is communication. Without communication, leadership does not exist. It is impossible to get someone to do something without verbal or nonverbal communication. We rely on communication to manage and motivate. We use communication to resolve conflict and facilitate innovation as well as to negotiate.

We may expect our leader to be frank, direct, and to the point. We may also expect that our ideal leader listens, is willing to talk, is open to discussion and constructive suggestions, is receptive to new ideas, and is supportive. But, in most social interactions and economic activities, an ideal and recognized leader invariably emerges as the most competent communicator.

[分析] 词义理解题。关于成功和领导能力的关系，文中说success and the ability to control our own fate are linked to our ability to lead即成功和掌控我们自身命运的能力与我们领导的能力是联系在一起的。由此可见，成功与领导能力是有关系的。因此题干的说法与原文含义相符，是正确的。

[解题关键] 掌握同义词替换是解题的关键。文中词组are linked to与题干中has something to do with意思相当。

【正确答案】：X

【本题分数】：2.0分

【答案解析】

根据原文Leadership，in fact，is something that concerns everyone 可知领导能力与每个人都是有关系的。由此可见，题干说领导能力并非与所有人有关是错误的。因此题干的说法与原文意思不符，是错误的。

[解题关键] 掌握关键词含义有助于正确解题。原文中concern含义是“与……有关系，涉及”。

第3题

A leader must possess a leadership position.

【正确答案】：X

【本题分数】：2.0分

【答案解析】

[分析] 词义理解题。
