18.Several years ago,I had to replace a receptionist for my unit.Before I advertised for the position,I was approached by another manager,and asked if I would consider a transfer from his staffinstead of opening a new competition.My natural question was to ask who he wanted me to consider and why.
It appeared from his description of this employee,Maria,that she was having a lot of problems performing her duties,and had difficulties with her boss,and did not appear to respond to any attempts he,the manager,had made to settle the issues.Now,after listening to his explanation,I really had severe doubts.What crossed my mind,after this discussion,was that he wanted me to take a problem off his hands.
I told him I would think about it and would let him know the next day.As promised,after   thinking more about this potential performance issue,I decided that I would agree to speak with Maria privately before I made any decision.
And,what I found out during this interview,left me deep in thought.As it tumed out,the  performance issue appeared to result from working for a boss who never extended a good morning.greeting,never gave a word of encouragement,and was constantly changing the work load and routines.The end result was a totally ruined employee who was unconfident,hated to see a new work day start.
I decided to accept her transfer to my unit.What started out as a shy,withdrawn and frightened employee turned out to be one of the most productive and loyal employee that I had eyer worked with.Maria couldn't do enough and was constantly asking for more and for more responsibility.I was more than happy to give her what she needed-praise for work well done,respect as a person,and encouragement for doing well in anything she dealt with.
Sometimes,we are guilty of holding others back from accomplishing or doing,or developing as they should or could.It may be a wise idea that we all look in the mirror,from time to time,to see what we are really like.

41.What can we leam about the writer from the first paragraph?A
A.He is a manager in the company.
B.He doesn't like his receptionist.
C.He likes to compete with others.
D.He wants to find another position.
42.After hearing his colleague's description of Maria,the writer thought that MariaB.
A.attempted to settle the issues
B.was a problem to her boss
C.shouldn't stay in the company
D.could get on well with others
43.Why did Maria fail to perform well in her previous job?C
A.Her previous job was not suitable for her.
B.She had difficulty responding to her manager.
C.Her boss didn't inspire her working enthusiasm.
D.Her boss showed no trust in her ability.
44.The writer accepted Maria's transfer to unit probably because he thought thatC
A.she was a ruined employee
B.she would need his protection
C.she would turn out to be a good employee
D.she was a shy and frightened employee
45.The writer probably believes that a good boss shouldB.
A.praise and award his employees a lot
B.respect,praise and encourage his employees
C.greet his employees and give them much work
D.always give his employees guidance in working.

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读,作者在文中讲述了自己经历的一件事,一位经理向作者推荐了一名员工,通过经理的介绍作者意识到这是一个问题员工,于是他背后找到这名员工,了解到其实员工的状况都是由于经理自身的问题造成的,在鼓励和赞赏下这名员工成为了作者的得力干将.作者通过这个故事告诉了我们赏识和鼓励的重要性.

解答 41.A  推理判断题.根据文章第一段Before I advertised for the position,I was approached by another manager,and asked if I would consider a transfer from his staffinstead of opening a new competition.另一位经理和我接洽,由其中的"另一位"可以判断作者也是一个经理,故选A.
42.B  细节理解题.根据文章第二段Maria,that she was having a lot of problems performing her duties,and had difficulties with her boss,另一个经理的叙述可知,Maria是令她老板头疼的人物,故选B.
43.C  细节理解题.根据文章第三段the performance issue appeared to result from working for a boss who never extended a good morning.greeting,never gave a word of encouragement,可知她的老板从来没有给她说过鼓励的话,因此可以判断她的问题都是由于老板的缘故造成的,故选C.
44.C  推理判断题.根据文章第四段As it tumed out,the  performance issue appeared to result from working for a boss who never extended a good morning.greeting,never gave a word of encouragement,and was constantly changing the work load and routines.可知本段讲述了作者私下和这名员工进行了交流,意识到了员工自身不存在什么问题,问题都出在经理身上,而且认为她会成为一名优秀员工,所以把她调到了作者所在的部门,故选C.
45.B  推理判断题.根据倒数第二段I was more than happy to give her what she needed-praise for work well done,respect as a person,and encouragement for doing well in anything she dealt with.并根据作者对待Maria态度可以看出他认为老板应该尊敬表扬和鼓励他的员工,故选B.

点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

10.A beautiful girl fell into a city moat (护城河) as a result of a careless step.She was swept by the currents (水流) to a broken fence of a bridge arch (拱门) in the moat,which caught her dress and stopped her for a short time.As the currents were rapid and the water surface is two or three meters below the ground,it would be hard to rescue her and even harder for the rescuer to climb up to safety.None of the passers-by dared to run the risk.

7.I reached Cairo and took a taxi to Tahrir Square.The taxi dropped me off across the street from Hardee's,a fast-food restaurant.In the cold January air,two street children came to me with cries for food.
As a world traveler,I was used to beggars.But seldom had I been so moved by the sincerity of the plea (恳求).I asked them to wait while I went inside to buy them food.Since I was traveling on a tight budget and was even skipping meals on occasion,part of me identified with the children's hunger.But mostly,the children reminded me how rich I really was.
At the counter I ordered two hamburgers for the boys.Then,as the hamburgers were being cooked,I overcame my remaining stinginess(小气)and bought them one of Hardee's delicious,big chocolate chip cookies.
As they took the hamburgers,they showed me with 30 seconds of nonstop blessings,praying that Allah would bless me always.After they finished,I reached into the bag and pulled out the cookie,extending it for them to take.Both boys fell silent,and tears welled up in their eyes as they insisted this was too much.They refused the cookie six times.On my seventh attempt,after a long silent pause.they held out their hands and took the cookie.
The events that night are now in the past,but there are moments when I'm transported back to that empty square and to the honest faces of two boys.Five years later,I still ask God's blessings for those two Egyptian boys.While they had nothing material to give,they gave me something greater.an awareness of my spiritual poverty and a desire for a softer heart.
