When people work together, they can share ideas, solve problems more efficiently, and make better decisions. This is particularly important in industries where projects are complex and require a wide range of expertise. For example, in the technology sector, a successful project may involve engineers, designers, marketing specialists, and sales representatives. By working together, these professionals can ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget.Another advantage of teamwork is that it can improve employee morale and job satisfaction. When people feel valued and respected, they are more likely to be engaged and motivated. In a team environment, employees can support each other, learn from each other, and celebrate each other’s successes. This cancreate a positive work culture that is conducive to productivity and creativity.However, teamwork is not without its challenges. One of the biggest challenges is managing different personalities and working styles. To overcome this, it is important for team leaders to establish clear goals and expectations, as well as to encourage open communication and respect among team members. Additionally, team members should be willing to compromise and adapt to each other’s strengths and weaknesses.Overall, teamwork is a critical component of any successful organization.

From the moment we are born, we rely on our parents and siblings for support. As we grow older, we learn to work together with our peers in school, at work, and in our personal lives. The concept of teamwork is essential in almost every aspect of our lives.One of the key benefits of teamwork is that it allows individuals to contribute their unique skills and perspectives to a common goal. When people work together, they can pool their resources and knowledge to achieve a task more efficiently than they could on their own. This collaborative approach also fosters creativity and innovation, as different ideas and solutions are brought to the table.Moreover, teamwork can lead to personal and professional growth. When individuals work as part of a team, they learn to communicate effectively, build trust, and resolve conflicts. These skills are highly valuable in both personal and professional settings, as they help us navigate relationships and challenges with greater ease.In the workplace, teamwork is crucial for the success of any organization. When employees collaborate effectively, they can overcome obstacles and reach common goals more quickly. This, in turn, enhances productivity and promotes a positive work environment.However, teamwork is not without its challenges. It requires individuals to be open to different ideas and perspectives, and to be willing to compromise and adapt. It also demands effective communication and strong leadership.Despite these challenges, the benefits of teamwork far outweigh the drawbacks.Questions:1.What is the main idea of the passage?A.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “information Age” demands people who are flexible and who have good communication skills.There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studiesshow that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature of the kind of high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as “very important” by 92% of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmat es to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study.65. By saying that “you may have had the last laugh” in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have _____________________________________.A. shared the jokes with computer majorsB. earned as much as computer majorsC. found jobs more easily than computer majorsD. stopped joking about computer majors66. Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates _________.A. are ready to change when situations changeB. are better able to deal with difficultiesC. are equally good at computer skillsD. are likely to give others pressure67. The word “land” in the last paragraph probably means ___________________.A. keep for some timeB. successfully getC. immediately startD. lose regretfully68. According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs?A. Willingness to take low-paid jobs.B. Readiness to gain high-tech knowledge.C. Skills in experiencing themselves.D. Part-time work experience.(B)That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only aweek ago, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. V ery few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man wit h an amused look in his eye. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.69. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sickB. Fortunate and helpfulC. Satisfied and cheerfulD. Disappointed and helpless70. From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy _________________.A. solving her problem at the bankB. taking part in various city activitiesC. learning acting in an evening schoolD. preparing for the first night show71. On her way home the writer ___________________________.A. lost her wallet unknowinglyB. was stopped by a garbage truck driverC. was robbed of her wallet by an armed manD. found some homeless people following her72. From the passage, we can infer that the writer __________________________.A. would stop working at nightB. would stay on in San FranciscoC. would make friends with cleanersD. would give up her job at the bank(C)In 1993, the Metropolitan Museum of Art reluctantly handed over 363 pieces of gold, silver, precious stones, painting, and sculptures back to Turkey after a court case. Following increasing calls for the return of artistic objects that were removed decades or centuries ago, some of the world’s leading museums have signed a declaration that they will not hand back the ancient artifacts to their countries of origin. They say people all over the world have only been able to fully appreciate ancient civilizations because these museums have provided access to these artistic objects. The ancient civilizations would not be so deeply admired today if these ancient artifacts were not so widely available to an international public in major museums throughout Europe and America. For example, Egyptian culture would not have become so well-known if the museums had not put Egyptian mummies on show.The British Museum has not signed the declaration, but says it fully supports it. Over the recent years, it has faced growing pressure to hand back the Elgin Marbles, sculptures taken from the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, in the 19th century. But the British Museum has said that the Museum i s the best possible place for them. “They must remain here if the museum is to continue to achieve its aim, which is to show the world to the world,” said the director of the museum.73. What reason do the major museums provide for not handing back the ancient objects?A. Only in the leading museums can the objects be fully appreciated by the world.B. It is better for those objects to remain at a certain place than to be moved around.C. They need those well-known ancient objects to attract people from all over the world.D. Ancient civilizations can only be admired if they are removed from their home countries.74. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the “countries of origin” inthe article?A.TurkeyB. BritainC. EgyptD. Greece75. What does “the world” mean in “show the world to the world”?A. The global village.B. The leading museums.C. The ancient civilizations.D. The international public.(D)Imagine that the genome(基因组) is a book. The book consists of 23 chapters with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels. There are one billion words in the book, which makes it longer than 5,000 volumes the size of this book, or as long as 800 Bibles. If I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day, it would take me a century. If I wrote out the human genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the River Danube. This is an enormous document, a huge volume, a cook book of great length, and it all fits inside the extremely small nucleus of a tiny cell that fits easily upon the head of a pin.The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor(比喻). It is true to a great extent. A book is a piece of digital information, written in one-directional form and defined by a code that translates a small alphabet of signs into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings. So is a genome. The only complication is that all English books read from left to right, while some parts of the genome read from left to right, and some from right to left, though never both at the same time.While English books are written in words of different lengths using twenty-six letters, genomes are written entirely in three-letter words, using only four letters. And instead of being written on flat pages, they are written on long chains of DNA molecules(分子). The genome is a very clever book, because in the right conditions it can both photocopy itself and read itself.76. How do human genomes read according to the passage?A. Only from left to right.B. Only from right to left.C. From both directions at the same time.D. From one direction at a time.77. We can learn from the passage that the human genome _____________________.A. is as long as the River DanubeB. can be easily placed on the head of a pinC. is coded with an alphabet of four lettersD. is smart enough to read and take photos of itself78. It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for _________________.A. specialists in the fieldB. general readersC. natural scientistsD. readers with academic background79. The real purpose of the author’s comparison of the genome to a book is ________.A. to focus on the difference between the twoB. to lay emphasis on the similarities between the twoC. to simplify the concept of the human genomeD. to give an exact description of the human genomeSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.80. ________________________________________________.Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. The biological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away, and it tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake.81. ________________________________________________.Events outside the plant and animal affect the actions of some biological clocks. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur because of the number of hours of daylight. In the short days of winter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in color in the longer hours of daylight in summer.82. ________________________________________________.Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration flights twice each year. Birdsprevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip, but they become calm again when the time of the flight has ended.83. ________________________________________________.Scientists say they are beginning to learn which parts of the brain contain biological clock. An American researcher, Martin Moorhead, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain seems to control the timing of some of our actions. These cells tell a person when to awaken, when to sleep and when to seek food. Scientists say there probably are other biological clock cells that control other body activities.84. ________________________________________________.Dr. Moorhead is studying how our biological clocks affect the way we do our work. For example, most of us have great difficulty if we often change to different work hours. It can take many days for a human body to accept the major change in work hours. Dr. Moorhead said industrial officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affect workers. He said such understanding could cut sickness and accidents at work and would help increase a factory’s production.第II卷(共45分)TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.从他的话来判断，我觉得他已经把你提出的建议考虑进去了。

We thought we would find a motel (汽车旅馆) on the way and had not made a booking. As it was getting late, we started looking for a motel, only to find that all were booked.Finally, around 9p.m. we stopped at a gas station to fill up on gas. My husband asked for a phone book and told the woman at the counter that we were trying to find a motel. He tried for 15 minutes. When he was unsuccessful, the woman, Linda, said she and her family lived nearby and would be happy if we spent the night ather home, My husband was stunned at her offer. She called her son to direct us, since she had to hold fort at the gas station till midnight.When we reached their home, her husband greeted us. He took out two sleeping bags for the children. He invited us to have coffee and chat while we waited for his wile. When she came back, we asked if we could slip away in the morning so as not to disturb them. They said we were now guests and we would have to have breakfast with them.We woke up to table set for breakfast. They’d made a mountain of pancakes and bacon.

The race once ended in tragedy when 2,000 shoppers burst through the doors at a Wal-Mart on Long Island, NY, in 2008 and trampled(踩) an employee to death before the 5am opening, all in the name of finding a bargain.Since 2011, several retailers(零售商) –including Toys “R”Us, Macy’s, Wal-Mart and Target –have introduced shopping on Thanksgiving night, turning what was once a day of feasting, family and football into one more day for shopping, one more day for retail workers to be on the job.Thanksgiving deserves to be celebrated as a holiday all its own. It has been a unique American tradition since Abraham Lincoln declared a national day of Thanksgiving, a holiday that all families, despite their race, religion or culture, can share.The good news this year is that the public is pushing back against shopping on Thanksgiving Day. In a survey by Deloitte this fall, 67% of shoppers said they disagreed with stores being open on Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, Black Friday has lost some of its appeal. Foot traffic(人流量) has been down is recent years. And net sales in stores have declined. Special discounts are offered earlier in November, so there’s no point in waiting until Friday. Customers are getting used to shoppingonline at their leisure. Over the past year, online shopping grew far fast than overall sales, boosted in part by online’s continuing unfair sales tax advantage over stores.None of this is to suggest that there’s anything wrong with shopping. Retailing is a huge driver of the US economy, generating jobs in manufacturing and employing more than 10 million retail sales workers.But for the final Thursday each November, it would be better to give it a rest.28.

Clicking on a thumbs-up or a heart icon (图标) is an easy way to stay in touch. Whether you’re on Facebook, What’s App or Twitter, the way of keeping in touch is no longer face to face, but instead screen to screen, highlighted by the fact that more than 1 billion people are using Facebook every day. Social media has become second nature —but what impact is this having on us?Lauren Sherman and her team, who study the brain at Temple University in Philadelphia, mixed 20 teens’photos with 10 other pictures from public Instagram accounts. Then they randomly gave half of the images many likes (between 23 and 45; most had more than 30). They gave the other half no more than 22 likes (most had fewer than 15).The researchers wanted to find out how the participants’brains were responding to the different images. While the teens were in a machine, researchers asked them to either like an image or skip to the next one. Teens were much more likely to like images that seemed popular —those that had more than 23 likes, Sherman’s team found. The kids tended to skip pictures with few likes.As part of the experiment, participants were also shown a range of “neutral”photos showing things like food and friends, and “risky”photos concerning cigarettes and alcohol. When looking at photos showing risky behaviors, such as smoking or drinking —no matter how many likes they had —the brain region linked to cognitive (认知的) control tended to become less active. These kinds of pictures can lower the viewer’s self-control. That means what you like online has the power to influence not just what others like, but even what they do. Viewing pictures like these could make teens let down their guard when it comes to experimenting with drugs and alcohol, Sherman worries.32. What does the text focus on?A.
