5.Are you a team player?
    We hear a lot about team building these days.Team-building gurus are hired by some corporations to lecture us on how to work more effectively with each other.And they organize awaydays(息工日)-a time employees spend together away from their usual workplace.
    Here in the UK,employees can take part in activities such as Zombie boot camps where military instructors train you how to fight walking'dead people'.For the brainier office workers amongst us there are crime investigations modelled on popular TV dramas like Sherlock Holmes and CSI.
Stressed-out city workers might have ukulele lessons made available to them.Why is that a good team-building exercise?Ukulele teacher Lorraine Bow says:"The fact that they can play a musical instrument within an hour is quite a fulfilling thing,really.It's not competitive-it's quite easy to do and a bit less intimidating than a guitar…"
    Actually,a horse might be a bit more intimidating than an instrument.The animals are used by a company in Abu Dhabi which teaches leadership through horse training.Basically,you have to go in a yard with a horse and persuade it that you're the boss by using body language.
    Kelly Eide,co-founder of True Leadership,says:"The horses don't care if your hair is purple,if you're a man or a woman,if you're old or young…It transcends all of those cultural boundaries-age,gender,religion,tradition etc.-so that's a perfect fit.And in an organization where you really need groups of people togel,who come from backgrounds which have no common norms,you can teach that most efficiently with a horse."
     And the horse feels instinctively whether or not you are a natural leader.So if after you've done a good presentation your boss offers you a carrot,you'll know where he might have learnt it from.

24.What are awaydays for?B
A.To gather employees to join a meeting on how to work more effectively with each other.
B.To building team spirit among people who work for the same company.
C.To criticize employer who have not satisfied outstanding achievement.
D.To teach people how to make term more united.
25.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A
A.The one in which you learn to'kill'Zombies is more physically demanding.
B.Ukulele lessons are designed for people who are highly intelligent.
C.Stressed-out city workers both have ukulele lessons made available to them.
D.A horse must be a bit more intimidating than an instrument.
26.How long does it take for you to learn how to play the ukulele?A
A.One hour             B.Two-hour      C.15minutes      D.half hour

13.Taktak tabulaba?
You probably don't know how to answer that question---unless you happen to be one of the about 430people in the world who speak a language called Matukar Panau.Then you would know it means"What are we doing?"Matukar Panau is one of the world's rarest languages.It is spoken in just two small coastal villages in Papua New Guinea.
Several years ago,David Harrison,a language expert didn't know much about Matukar Panau either.No one had ever recorded or even studied its words and rules.With so few speakers,the language risked disappearing soon.It was endangered.
Harrison didn't want that to happen to Matukar Panau.So in 2009,he set out for Papua New Guinea.His goal:use modern technology to help the remaining speakers preserve their native tongue.
But Matukar Panau is far from the only language facing loss.Studies suggest that by the end of this century,nearly half of the 7,000languages now spoken worldwide could disappear.They're in danger partly because the only people left speaking them are elderly adults,Harrison says.When those individuals die,their language will die with them.In addition,children may discard a native language and instead use more common global languages,such as Chinese,English or Spanish.
In the United States alone,134native American languages are endangered.Harrison says,"language hotspots"exist all over the world.These are places with endangered languages that haven't been recorded.They include the state of Oklahoma,pockets of central and eastern Siberia,parts of northern Australia and communities in South America.

32.The purpose of using the question"Taktak tabulaba?"is toB.
A.introduce a new foreign language
B.introduce the topic of the text
C.show the difficulty understanding Matukar Panau
D.stress the importance of Matukar Panau
33.What did Harrison go to PaPua New Guinea for?C
A.Learning their native language
B.Leaning their modern technology
C.Helping preserve their endangered tongue
D.Teaching the natives a new language
34.The underline word"discard"in Paragraph 5meansA.
A.get rid of                 B.pick up
C.hear of                   D.learn about
35.The last two paragraphs imply that endangered languages areC.
A.dying quickly in Siberia
B.popular in some special places
C.becoming a worldwide problem
D.some native tongues.
10.Since Brandon was a kid,he has loved playing baseball.For him,baseball,was and still is his life and his impetus and drive for staying in school.
    But as Brandon got older,he started making bad choices.He cut classes,hung out with the wrong friends and got suspended(被停学)often.His grandmother took care of the family and his mom worked 12-hour shifts at a car lot,doing everything she could to provide for the family.
    Dr.Decmona Warren,a teacher of a Communities In Schools(CIS),saw the signs but when she tried to help,Brandon wouldn't take it."When I heard her call my name,I would nearly run away."Brandon said later.
    His GPA(平均成绩)fell to a 1.4 and Brandon was kicked out of the baseball team.He knew if he wanted to play baseball,he had to stop acting like that.Determined to become successful both on the field and in the classroom,Brandon decided to embrace the support from Communities In Schools.He turned to Dr.Warren,who welcomed him as a CIS student with open arms.From tutoring to parent-teacher conferences,he allowed Dr.Warren to become his"school mom",and slowly,things started to turn around.
"GIS of Atlanta has made a big difference in my life.This program has taught me to think before I act and make better choices in choosing friends.Before CIS it seemed like every week I was either out of school or in school suspension.Once when I was an honor student in middle school,I found myself failing miserably in almost all of my classed as a freshman in high school.But with the help of CIS I am now back on track,more focused and determined to do better in my academics and behavior."
    He's back on the team now playing in the Catcher position,with a 2.8 GPA.He is already looking at colleges for baseball scholarships.

32.What does the underlined word"impetus"in Paragraph 1 probably mean?D

17.I was born and raised in England in a culture where privacy and"keeping yourself to yourself"were valued traditions.Speaking to strangers was not encouraged.People were most hospitable(好客的)and friendly.
    However,I have been lucky enough to spend some time in both Italy and the US,where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different.
    I experienced Italian hospitality first-hand on a crowded railway carriage travelling,one afternoon,from Genoa to Florence.Sinking gratefully into an empty seat,I was scolded in rapid Italian by a gentleman who was returning to this seat-it had not been"spare"after all.I apologized in English,and got up to allow him back into the seat.The gentleman obviously had no understanding of the English language,but he,too,realized my genuine(真诚的) mistake.He smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat,and he himself remained standing in the corridor for the remainder of the journey.The other occupants of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome amongst them.I feel that if this had been in England,a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated.
    Transport also featured in the differences I noticed between English and American culture.I flew to New York on a plane with mainly English passengers.We sat together in near silence.Nobody spoke to me nor,as I expected,to anyone else they did not know.They felt it was not polite tointerrupt someone else's privacy.However,when I travelled across the United States,whether by plane or Greyhound bus,I was never short of conversation.Conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself.They obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person,whether they were strangers or not.

25.What do we know about the occupants when the author was travelling in Italy?D
A.They were all on the side of the gentleman.
B.They all laughed at the author for his mistake.
C.They would not bear a mistake like the author's in public.
D.They all showed their understanding of the author's mistake.
26.How does the author finally believes the Italian people are?D
A.Cold              B.Rude      C.Helpful          D.Hospitable
27.Why did English passengers sit in near silence according to the last paragraph?C
A.They were too tired to speak to anyone.
B.They were all strangers to each other
C.Privacy was a valued tradition in England
D.Everybody was deeply lost in thought
28.What can be the best title for the text?A
A.Different Ways of Hospitality and Politeness
B.My Unforgettable Travelling Experience Abroad
C.Co-understanding Each Other
D.The Importance of Privacy.
