解答 答案:
25.the     考查定冠词   此处用在名词marriage之前,特指麦当娜与演员西恩•潘的那段婚姻;故用the.
26.designed    考查过去分词    此处在句中作后置定语,修饰名词clothes;由于动词design与该名词是被动关系,指的是:由服装设计师 Jean Paul Gaultier  设计的特别的衣服;故填过去分词designed.
27.Considered   考查过去分词    本句的意思是:由于一直以来都被许多人认为是最伟大的足球运动员,所以在他只有十七岁时便成为了一位世界级的明星;此处在句中作原因状语,由于动词consider与其逻辑主语he构成了被动关系;故用过去分词Considered.
28.greatest   考查形容词的最高级    本句的意思是:也许他一生中最大的成功是于1970赢得了墨西哥第三届世界杯的冠军;此处指的应是:他的最大的成功;故用greatest
29.retiring    考查现在分词    此处在句中做结果状语,由于动词retire与其逻辑主语构成了主谓关系,指的是:他最后于1977退役;故填retiring.
30.was appointed  考查时态及语态     根据句中的时间状语"in 1994",此处应使用一般过去时;由于主语He与动词appoint构成了被动关系;意为:1994年,他被任命为巴西体育部部长;故用一般过去时态的被动语态was appointed. 
31.After   考查从属连词   本句的意思是:在Graf十三岁成为职业运动员以后,于1986年,她赢得了她的第一个重大赛事,一年后,成为世界第一;此处用来引导时间状语从句,指"在…之后";故用After.
32.has won   考查时态    本句的意思是:她在她的职业生涯中赢得了超过100个冠军,并获得了高达2000万美元的奖金;此处表达的是她曾经在运动生涯中的成就对现在产生的影响以及结果;故用现在完成时has won

14.Conventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation(创新)that threatens the survival of companies everywhere.It's based on the assumption that old ideas will always work,so they shouldn't be challenged.While this may be a valid assumption in situations that don't change,it's unlikely to hold true in a changing situation.In today's rapid changing global environment,old methods often don't work,and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems.
Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense of security.If everyone else believes it,then it must be tree.Individuals who use conventional wisdom are certain that they are right,and being fight is good.They want to continue using old ideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work.In 1977,Ken Olsen,co-founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation(DEC),stated"There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home."Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry,DEC no longer exists.
People seem to forget that since innovation is a change,there can be no innovation without change.Unfortunately,conventional wisdom prevents leaders,followers and companies from changing and therefore innovating.If companies don't innovate,but their competitors do,the future is likely to be problematic(成问题的).Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative companies and products in history across many industries,so it has a powerful effect on business success.
Ted Turner(founder of CNN) knew little,if anything,about the news business,but he knew it was inconvenient to watch news only at the dinner hour,as was common before CNN.Turner's solution was to create a cable (有线的)channel devoted to news 24hours a day.The news establishment reflected conventional wisdom at the time,and predicted his idea would fail because no one wanted to watch the news all day.However,it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that viewers don't have to watch the news all day for the CNN to work.Viewers just have to watch when they want to get information.Due to conventional thinking,the critics failed to recognize the opportunity that was clear to Ted.They assumed that only what was familiar to them could work in the future.
Conventional wisdom prevents creativity,flexibility and risk-taking,so unconventional leaders enthusiastically break from it.To survive,boom and maintain competitive advantage,companies must be flexible when reacting to change.
28.DEC has disappeared probably becauseA.
A.the CEO stuck to the conventional ideas
B.the consumers didn't like its products
C.the leaders lacked the sense of security
D.the employees took many risks with changes
29.The founding of CNN is used as an example to proveC.
A.missing opportunities could lead to failure
B.watching news at the dinner hour is convenient
C.changing could contribute to business success
D.conventional wisdom influences business success
30.What does the underlined part probably mean?B
A.Rocket scientists can ensure the CNN works properly.
B.It's easy to know people needn't watch the news all the time.
C.It's necessary to understand when people watch the news.
D.Most of the viewers don't like to watch the news at work.
31.The passage is mainly written to tell us thatD.
A.old methods are changing with time

D.conventional wisdom limits innovation.
6.Fleming was a poor Scottish farmer.One day while working in a field,he heard a cry for help.He immediately(16)threw (throw) his tools away.Following the sound,Fleming came to a deep bog(沼泽),in which a boy was screaming and sinking.Fleming tied a rope around(17)his own waist and the other end(18)to a tree,and walked into the bog.With great effort he pulled himself and the boy to (19)safety(safe).He quickly took the boy to his farmhouse,(20)where Mrs.Fleming fed him,dried his clothes,and sent him home.
The next day a carriage arrived.A well-dressed man stepped out,(21)saying (say) he was the father of the boy."You saved my son's life."said the man."(22)How can I repay you?"
"I don't want payment."Fleming replied,"Anyone would have done the same."
Just then,Fleming's son appeared at the door.
"Is he your son?"the man asked."Yes."said Fleming(23)happily (happy).
"I have an idea.Let me pay for his education.If he's like his father,he'll grow to be a man we'll both be proud of."
And so he did.Thus(24)the farmer's son attended the best schools,graduated from a medical college,and became the world-famous Nobel prize-winning scientist and discoverer of penicillin,Sir Alexander Fleming.
It's said(25)that many years later the man saved from the bog caught pneumonia(肺炎).
Penicillin saved h is life His name?Sir Winston Churchill.
10.I walked up to the counter.Behind it was a lady with glasses on the tip of her nose and gray hair on her head.
"Excuse me,"I said.She looked up."You're that Clements kid,"she said."I'm Miss Bee.Come closer and let me get a look at you."She pushed her glasses up her nose."I can describe you to the police if something goes missing from the store."
"I'm not a thief!"I was shocked.I was seven too young to be a thief!
"From what I can see you're n ot much of anything.But I can tell you've got potential."She went back to reading her newspaper.
"I need to get these."I said,holding up my list."So?Go get them."Miss Bee pointed to a sign on the screen door."I'm not your servant,so I suggest you get yourself a basket and start filling."
I visited Miss Bee several times a week that summer.Sometimes she short-changed me.Other times she overcharged."That can of beans is only twenty nine cents"I corrected her one afternoon.I had watched the numbers change on the cash register closely,and Miss Bee had added 35 cents.She didn't seem embarrassed.She just looked at me over her glasses and fixed the price.
But she ever let me declare victory.All summer long she found ways to play tricks on me.No sooner had I learned how to pronounce bicarbonate of soda(小苏打) and memorized its location on the shelf than Miss Bee rearranged the shelve and made me hunt for it all over again.
One day before I left,she said,"I know what you think of me,but I don't care!Each of us is put on this earth for a reason.I believe my job is to teach every child I meet life lessons.When you get older you'll be glad our paths crossed!"Glad I met Miss Bee?Ha!The idea was absurd…
Until one day my daughter asked me to finish her math problems."If I do it for you how will you ever learn to do it yourself?"I said.Suddenly,I remembered the lady Miss Bee.
