Working individually or Working in a team

There are basically two ways to get work done.

One is to work individually. In this way, people can decide for themselves when to start work and how to do it. What’s more, they will be able to learn how to solve problems on their own and how to think independently.

People may also choose to work in a team, where they can learn from each other and help each other. Besides, they may work out better ways to get work done by discussion. They can truly learn the skills of cooperation and how to get through the ideas to their mates.

Personally, I prefer to work in a team, which offers me a chance to learn how to get along with others and to share my experiences with them. As the work can be divided among several people, it can be done efficiently. Teamwork is always important.

In 1883, a creative engineer, John Roebling, was inspired to build a splendid bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However, experts throughout the world thought that this was 　36 . Even so, Roebling could not 　37 　the idea in his mind. After much discussion, he 　38 　convince his son Washington, an up-and-coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built. They hired their 　39 　and began to build their dream bridge.

Only a few months 　40 　the project was underway a tragic on-site accident killed John Roebling and 41 　injured his son, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to move or 　42 . Surely now the project would have to be 　43 . Though Washington Roebling lay in his hospital bed, he was not 　44 　and his mind remained as 　45 　as it was before the accident. Suddenly an idea 　46 　him. All he could move was one finger, so he 　47 　the arm of his wife with that finger, 　48 　to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. For 13 years Washington tapped out his 　49 　with one finger until the bridge was 　50 　completed.

Perhaps this is one of the best examples of never-say-die attitude that 　51 　a terrible physical disability and achieves an impossible 　52 . Often when we face difficulties in our daily lives, our problems seem very small 　53 　what many others have to face. The Brooklyn Bridge shows us that even the most 　54 　dream can be realized with 　55 　no matter what the chances are.

答案与解析：

36．A. 从上文的however和下文可知，其他专家认为这项工程困难太大，不可能完成，故impossible正确。

37．C. 由上下文可知，John Roebling认为工程是可以完成的，所以不愿放弃，故C项ignore符合文意，此时，应特别注意空前的否定词not。

38．D. 由下文可知，父子二人共同开始这项工程，说明John Roebling说服了儿子，只有managed to能表达这一含义。Attempt to 和seek to都可表示“试图”，但并不一定成功。

39．B. Crew指“(有专门技术的)一组工作人员”，而建设桥梁这样的工作正需要这样的人，所以B. crew为正确答案。其它选项与文意显然不符。

40．C. 由下文可知，工程刚开始不久就发生了事故，父子二人一死一伤，连词after最符合文意。

41．A. 由下文leaving him brain-damaged and unable to move可知，儿子Washington Roebling伤势严重，故选A. severely。

42．D. 由下文Washington Roebling用敲打手指的方法来传递信息可知事故使他失去了行走及说话能力，故选D. talk。注意say及物动词，要有宾语，从语法角度可以被排除。

43．B. 由文意可知，既然工程的两位工程师都无法指挥，那么工程应该放弃了，故B 项abandon正确。

44.A. 由上下文可知，儿子Washington身体受到极大创伤，但(精神)没有被厄运打败，故defeat正确。

45．A. A选项sharp可以用来指人的头脑、眼睛等敏锐，由上下文可知，Washington身在医院，但头脑仍十分敏锐，所以能成功地指挥工人完成桥梁建设。其它选项与文意不符。

46．D. 由上下文可知，Washington无法走动和谈话，但他想到可以用手指敲打来传递信息。D项hit表示“使(某人)突然想起”；occur to也可表达此意，但要注意介词to丢掉是错误的。

47．C. 由上下文tapping her arm可知，Washington开始用手指敲打来传递信息，所以C.项touched正确。

48．C. 由文意可知，Washington用手指敲打，是想“告诉”妻子如何去做，indicating符合此意。　

49．B. 由文意可知，Washington作为桥梁的工程师，“指挥”完成了工程，所以instructions正确。

50．C. 由上文可知，工程浩大而困难，但最终他们完成了，此处只有eventually能表示此含义。

51．A. 由上文可知，Washington身残志坚，克服了重重困难完成了工程。正是这种永不言弃(never-say-die)的精神，使其克服了身体的残疾，所以A项overcome最符合文意。

52．D. 由文意和achieves可知，Washington达到了一个原本不可能完成的目标，故goal正确。

53．C. 由文意可知，作者在从此事中告诉读者，很多情况下，我们的问题和其他人面临的问题相比较是微不足道的，故compared to正确。

54．B. 由上下文可知，即使是看起来不可能的梦想只要有决心就会实现的，故distant正确。

55．A. 这个故事告诉我们要想成功，要有顽强的决心，故determination符合文意。

35.B 该题考查句子结构。学生易犯思维定势的错误而选C，其实who finished是定语从句，该处缺谓语动词。

34.D 该题考查短语的用法。throw sth over...意为“把东西从…地方扔出去”。over有“越过”之意。
