（每题2分，共15题，共计30分）ASome time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left my home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even l ook at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth. So I decided that my approach must be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" He looked at it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it?" "Twenty pounds." I said. "OK," he said, "I will give you twenty pounds." "It’s got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes, I saw that, it is nothing. "the shopkeeper answered.Everything was going according to my plan and I was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked. "It will be easy to sell once the repair is done." "I will buy it." I said. "What do you mean? You just sold it to me." "Yes, I know, but I have just changed my mind, I am sorry. I will give you twenty - seven pounds for it." "You must be crazy." he said. Suddenly the penny dropped. "I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair." " You are right," I said, "What would you have done if I had walked in and asked you to mend the chair?" "I would not have agreed to do that. We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it, and too much trouble. But I will mend this for you. Will you pay it for five? ". He was a very nice person and was greatly amused (感到有趣) by the whole thing.21.

Never has this concern been greater in recent years than right now. Even so, there are several things that you can do to help.Hit the sales.No one wants to get up at four o’clock in the morning and fight to get the bestdeal on Black Friday, and it’s surely very tough to pick up the courage and getout there in the cold for a good deal, but sometimes it can be well worth.

Pay very close attention to weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers and you may be lucky enough tofind different prices for the same thing in different shops.Shop online.Some of us don’t like running from store to store in order to get the best priceon the perfect gift, and some of us don’t like to go out in the cold at all—thankfully for us, we can do online shopping.The world of online shopping lets people visit all the major retailers as wellas some specialty stores that could only be found on the Internet.

Kerwin joined AU in 1975 and has held numerous department and leadership positions, including head of the School of Public Affairs. In this interview, he speaks about developing leadership among AU students and inspiring them to public service and the lessons he has learned as the president of American University.“The longer I do this kind of work, the clearer it is to me that leadership is a collective activity. This happens here at American University hundreds of times every day at every level of the doing and managing hard work to reach those goals. Simply, leadership cannot be the field or responsibility of one person or a small group at the top. At its best, it is up to the organization.”“A president's role is to make that clear, ensure it happens, and provide space, ideas, encouragement and acknowledgment of accomplishments. Vision(有远见卓识) is important, but one that colleagues have not contributed to or are not widely shared will not serve the purpose. I have also learned delegation(授权) is also important to success and that it is a process of constant adjustment, not a single act. No one is perfect in the work we do, and by recognizing this, you're developing a healthy culture that supports reform. And, of course, none of this relieves the president of most responsibility for the institution, and the need to be clearly and visibly accountable.”“Another lesson is that crises(危机) assume a life of their own. They are a great time to learn and a bad time to plan. It is when times are good and stable that you need to examine the things that are of the greatest risk to your organization in the long term. As a leader, you must be able to provide the energy and motivation among your employees to ask these difficult questions, because difficult times will come.”28. According to Neil Kerwin, leadership mainly depends on ________.A. the president himselfB. students in the universityC. small group at the topD. the organization itself29. In the third paragraph, “ it ” means ________.A. the managementB. the leadershipC. the responsibilityD. the institution30. What are the important qualities of leadership mentioned in the third paragraph?A. Vision and delegation.B. Adjustment and contribution.C. Responsibility and accountability.D. Encouragement and acknowledgment.31. What does the author mean by saying，“...difficult times will come.”？A. Crises provide us with energy.B. Crises are quite likely to happen.C. Crises are the greatest risks.D. Crises help people make changes.32. What does the passage mainly tell us about?A. The lessons Neil learned in University.B. The difficulty Neil has in his office.C. Neil's opinion on leadership.D. Neil's motivation and organization.DBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisers give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executive (行政的；管理的) circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly" qualities required.This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a studyon the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women,of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would votefor them.The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men,but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.33. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness ________.A. makes women look more honest and capableB. strengthens the qualifies requiredC. is of no importance to womenD. often enables women to succeed quickly34. Bowman's experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness______.A. turns out to be a disadvantage to menB. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to womenC. affects men and women alikeD. has as little effect on men as on women35. It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often .A. practicalB. supportiveC. old-fashionedD. one-sided第二节七选五（每题2分，共5小题，共计10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
