【题目】第四部分：任务型阅读（共 10 小题，每小题 1 分，满分 10 分）

The term “organizational culture” refers to the norms(规范) and values of an organization, which together make up the personality of it. These values and norms are shared by people working throughout the organization. They govern the way employees interact with each other within the workplace. Therefore, improving organizational culture is of great significance, as people want to work for a company that enables them to keep a balance between their work and life. An organization with a good working atmosphere has shown an increase in the productivity of its employees. As a result, the attrition(自然裁员) rates are also lowered, which saves the money involved in recruiting(招收) and training new employees. Therefore, a healthy organizational culture is a win-win situation for the management, the customers, and most importantly, the employees themselves.

When it comes to improving organizational culture, training your employees in the right way is an important step towards it. When your employees know how to do things in the right way and what the company expects from them, the rate of conflicts and errors can be brought down significantly. A basic requirement for a productive environment is a diverse team of enthusiastic people. Through the right training, your employees will become interested in working as a team and improving the working atmosphere, as a whole. Then a productive environment will be created.

Another good way to bring about positive changes in the organizational culture is by analyzing the existing culture and comparing it with the expectations of your employees. Bring about changes accordingly. You can also organize discussions with your team members and talk about matters related to the current culture of the organization.

Conflicts are an unavoidable part of any organization. How they’re handled is an indicator of the common organizational culture. Therefore, when conflicts do arise, the management must settle them quickly and peacefully. More importantly, a transparent and fair conflict resolution mechanism(解决机制) should be created. If employees feel they’re all being treated equally, they’re more likely to accept their mistakes and the judgment of the management at the end of the conflict resolution exercises. Needless to say, such a treatment makes employees feel both at home and indebted to the organization, which just goes a long way towards improving the working environment.

【题目】 “One thousand readers lead to one thousand Hamlets.” It is also true to English learners. English learners do have learning methods different from each other. Some are reasonable, some negative(否定的), and some hard to judge.

Some learners hold the view that “I don’t have any gift for learning English, it’s difficult for me”. Of course, I don’t agree with the idea. It’s indeed a fact that some people are more gifted(有天赋的) than others, but everyone can learn, as long as you find a suitable learning method and work harder.

Some think that the key to learning English well is to remember a rich vocabulary. As far as I’m concerned, that is far from being a successful English learner. Vocabulary is vital, but knowing how to use the exact words and expressions in certain situations is more important.

I disagree that in order to speak English well you have to live in an English-speaking country. I know many people who speak excellent English but they have never been abroad. But it doesn’t mean environment is not important. Being in an English-speaking country, you can not only be exposed(暴露) to the language but also learn the culture of the country, which is helpful to you. However, not everyone has a chance to go abroad. So, we are learning English, we should speak more. As what I believe, “Don’t be shy! Just try!” No matter what we do, mistakes will happen. All we should do is learning from the mistakes, and trying to correct them in the next.

There is a saying goes, silence is gold. However, when it comes to English learning, silence means nothing. If we are always being afraid of making mistakes, we will get nothing in the end.

Finally, confidence is important to our English learners. Being given a chance to speak, you should seize it and speak out. Only after you speak out can others know your opinions. All you should do is not worry about making mistakes, but try to express your opinion clearly. Besides, speaking itself is so good a chance to test and improve your spoken English.

【1】The writer thinks that the least important in learning English is ________.

A. environment B. confidence C. gift D. vocabulary

【2】The word “vital” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.

A. useless B. different C. difficult D. important

【3】According the passage, we can learn that ________.

A. we can not avoid making mistakes when learning a foreign language.

B. it’s true that some people don’t have any gift for learning English.

C. we can’t speak English well unless living in a foreign country for some time.

D. words and expressions are more important than grammar rules in learning English.

【4】What could be the best title for the passage?

A. Hamlet and English learners.

B. Tips about English Learning.

C. How to learn spoken English.

D. Different learners learn different English.

【题目】Liu Qian, a magician from Taiwan, cast his spell (魔法) over an audience of thousands on the CCTV Spring Festival Show. Die-hard fans are still trying to work out the secrets behind many of the tricks he performed.

But Liu, 32, when asked, laughed off the idea that there might be an "answer" to his magic. "The most fascinating thing is the puzzling process. People enjoy how magicians make the impossible come true, " said Liu.

Few people today believe in the possibility of real magic. They also often fail to consider magicians' devotion to their art. It can take a magician years' of practice to perfect a trick before he performs it on stage.

Part of Liu's star appeal is his astonishing skill. However, when he began in the industry, he was all embarrassingly clumsy. "I could practice thousands of times for one single act. It wasn't much fun, " he said.

No magician's supernatural powers on stage extend to their life off stage. Liu says his life was no easier or funnier because he was a magician.

He developed an interest in magic at a young age, but didn't consider making a living out of it until he graduated from university. He had studied Japanese and found himself unable to find a job. "My parents never considered being a magician as a proper job. To begin with, I had little confidence I would be doing this in the long term, " he said.

Yet Liu felt a powerful calling to become a magician. "For many people, magic somehow means a miracle, which is something we all secretly wish for no matter how hard-bitten we become, " he said

Liu may be right. A popular modern dream is of the fairy godmother, who waves her magic wand (魔杖) and makes our dreams come true. But according to Liu, we all have the power to create magic in our lives. As Liu puts it: it's not the magic that makes it work; it's the way we work that makes it magic.

【1】According to the passage, we can tell that __________.

A. being a famous magician, Liu Qian leads a comfortable life

B. it is a hard job for magicians to perform magic tricks well

C. Liu Qian's parents supported his wish to be a magician

D. Liu Qian showed great talents for magic tricks when he first took it up

【2】Talking of whether there's real magic, Liu Qian believes __________.

A. there is no real magic and what counts in our life is the way we work

B. if we secretly wish for something, magic will turn out to be a miracle

C. the puzzling process of performing magic tricks is the answer to magic

D. there exists a fairy godmother waving her magic wand to make our dreams come true

【3】Which of the following is similar to the underlined sentence in meaning?

A. All roads lead to Rome.

B. A miss is as good as a mile.

C. Every dog has his day.

Yesterday I paid a visit to the Hong’en Temple Park with my friends. The park was full of fresh and beauty flowers. When I was enjoying the wonderful scenery around, something unpleasant catch my eye. A young couple on the grass was eating, talking and laughing loudly even if they were the only people in the world. What’s worse, they spat and even threw rubbish onto the grass, ignoring the sign “No littering” nearby. What a shame!

So behavior left me deep in thought. If all visitors to the Hong’en Temple Park do as the young couples did, the park will be severely polluting and soon turned into a huge dustbin. I think both of us should mind our behavior in the public places. Only in this way can we live more comfortable and beautiful surroundings.

Dear Abby，

How are you? Today I've got a wonderful news to tell you. I have offered a scholarship at a university in Australia for my further education. One hundreds and twenty students took exams but only a few was chosen and I was one of them. However, my parents are not happy about it. They are strong against me going there. They say it is too far away that they will not see me for a whole year and they are afraid I will feel lonely. They couldn't imagine a girl so young living alone. They advise me to study in the capital instead. Then I'll be able to continue living with us. Why can I persuade them to accept the fact I have grown up?

Best Wishes

Jane

【题目】Christmas has never looked as beautiful as it is now, when this one-foot-tall mini tree grew from a pothole(坑洼)in the streets of London.

London pothole gardener Steve Wheen , 34 , has created over 150 little gardens so far the smallest one of which is just one-inch-square.
