At Central Library.BThe ninth week of SEAL training is referred to as Hell Week. It is on Wednesday of Hell Week that you paddle down to the mud flats (泥滩）and spend the next 15 hours trying to survive the freezing-cold mud, the howling wind and the increasing pressure from the instructors to quit. As the sun began to set that Wednesday evening, my training class, having broken the rules, was ordered into the mud. The mud consumed each man till there was nothing visible but our heads. The instructors told us we could leave the mud if only five men would quit—just five men and we could get out of the extreme cold.Looking around the mud flat, it was apparent that some students were about to give up. It was still over eight hours till the sun came up--eight more hours of freezing cold. The chattering teeth and shivering moans (呻吟）of the trainees were so loud it was hard to hear anything. And then, one voice began to echo (回荡）through the night--one voice raised in song. The song was terribly out of tune, but sung with great enthusiasm. One voice became two, and two became three, and before long everyone in the class was singing. We knew that if one man could rise above the great suffering then others could as well. The instructors threatened us with more time in the mud if we kept up the singing—but the singing went on. And somehow, the mud seemed a little warmer, the wind a little less bitter and the dawn not so far away.If I have learned anything in my time traveling the world it is the power of hope. The power of one person, Washington, Lincoln, King, Mandela and even a young girl from Pakistan, Malala, can change the world by giving people hope.So, if you want to change the world, start singing when you're up to your neck in mud.25. From the passage, we can see that being ordered into the mud was _____ .A. the last part of the trainingB. the most useful part of the trainingC. the real test of the trainees' intelligenceD. the punishment for the training class26. The training class' singing together ______ .A. helped them to kill the timeB. encouraged them to fight their difficultyC. inspired the instructorsD. kept them from falling into the mud27. The writer described his SEAL training experience mainly to tell the readers _____ .A. the power of a large crowd of peopleB. the advantage of the trainingC. the way to bring about changesD. the reason to promote singing28. In the last paragraph, the phrase "up to your neck in mud" most probably means ______ .A. in an extremely difficult situationB. in a hard training classC. in terribly cold weatherD. in a lower social positionCMore than half of American teenagers and young adults volunteered last year, and the best way to join in this group turns out to be peer pressure: Three quarters of people ages 13 to 22 whose friends volunteer regularly also do so, which is nearly twice the number of those who participate in voluntary activities based on their concern about particular social problems. Those were the key findings of new research results published by DoSomething. org, a group working to get young people involved in social change. "The study, based on data from 4, 363 young people, found that the most common form of support by volunteers was assistance with fundraising. 38 percent of those in the survey said they helped with solicitations (募捐)，leading the study's authors to conclude: "Young people are a secret weapon. A persuasive donation speech from an enthusiastic teen is a way more influential than a cold call or that newsletter you were thinking about sending."The study also found a gender (性另ij) divide in volunteer activities. Boys were more likely to undertake physical activities such as environmental cleanup or working with younger children in sports, while girls were more likely to help the homeless and other needy people or to work with arts groups.The researchers say the responses to the survey pointed out many ways that nonprofits can do a better job of getting young people to volunteer. Among their suggestions:Offer ways to socialize. The very first thing that many young people think of in choosing volunteer activities is having a chance to interact with friends, especially those of the opposite sex."Think of volunteering like a high-school party," the researchers write. "Volunteering, like everything else, is about joining in, making friends, and having a good time."29. The passage above mainly talks about ______ .A. what a research about voluntary activities finds outB. why young people take part in volunteer workC. how young people can be persuaded to volunteerD. where most young volunteers would like to work30. Most young people are likely to take part in voluntary activities because _____ .A. they are concerned about particular social problemsB. their friends of the same age volunteerC. they want to influence more people to volunteerD. their assistance can help those in need31. At the end of the passage, the writer would probably continue to list _____ .A. more ways for young people to socializeB. more reasons to get young people to volunteerC. more tips on getting young people involved in volunteeringD. more differences between different genders in volunteeringDThe New economy has brought great business opportunities besides great challenges. Not since the Industrial Revolution has managing with change been so urgent a matter. Indeed, the Information Age has accelerated the pace of market and business changes to the point where some firms have set up "change departments" whose job is to constantly look for opportunities to change the firm and make it more productive.Most firms have accepted the fact that they must make major changes. To remain competitive, companies recognize that they need to be in a constant process of changing themselves. This change is accompanied by the need to be willing to take risks in management style. Managers with such spirit have called themselves "change agents".Despite some remarkable successes, however, introducing managing change has not been a simple matter. Firms have tried to introduce change to achieve its attendant efficiencies (节省幵支）through new technologies, restructuring, or outsourcing. Yet, this has cost a great deal of time and money, but often led to at best mixed results: approximately 75% of all change activities failed. 、The reason for most of these failures is that change often lacks a central focus. Managers become confused by all different and sometimes conflicting advice they receive about change management. The result is a loss of central focus and disorganized policies. To improve their chances of success, it is extremely important that managers should understand the nature and process of the whole company's change and its challenges much better.32. What is the article mainly about?A. Developing strong marketing plans.B. Bringing in top technologies.C. Ways for companies to hire better managers.D. Changes of companies' operations.33.

According to the article, why do companies frequently fail to change?A. Managers are conservative.B. Not enough attention is paid.C. Employees generally fight change.D. Policies are not well directed.35. What does the article suggest managers do?A. Spend more time and money.B. Improve their knowledge.C. Buy more advanced technologies.D. Face their challenge directly.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分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。
