17、ich a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group. In the family, traditional cultural patterns confer leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of sel
18、ection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment. Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of “ natural leaders “. It seems tha
19、t there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common: rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group. Research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by dif
20、ferent individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group. Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things done“. Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-beings of a social group s
21、 members. Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them. Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They
22、give others tasks and may discipline group members who inhibit (阻碍) attainment of the group s goals. Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties and try to resolve issues that threaten to divid
23、e the group. As the differences in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members: instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the passage mainly discuss?（分数：

28、ocus on_.（分数：2.00）A.ensuring harmonious relationshipsB.sharing responsibility with group membersC.identifying new leadersD.achieving a goalIn its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke
29、that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies, “No, thanks. Ive got a good horse under me. “ The city planner decided to build an underground drainage(排水) system, but there simply wasn t enough diff
30、erence between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city. An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the le
31、vel of the city s streets by as much as 12 feet. This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main f
32、loors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like the Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building? Thats where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving ski
33、lls successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building s foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman s signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the sam
34、e time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didn t even notice anything was happening. Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago s early history, every engineeri
35、ng solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago s waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city s next step was to clean the polluted river.（分数：10.00）(1).The author mentions the joke to show_.（分数：2.00）A.horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB.Chicago s streets were

39、n to help drivers avoid potholes (路面坑洼). The eighth-grader was inspired to kick off his mission on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was
40、 going to do something about the pothole problem in my city,“ Chokwe says. His solution: an app that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead. Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. “ When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted(突出显示)in red,“ Chokwe
41、says. “And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you. “ Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them. The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. “ It wor
42、ks by using the city s 311 call system, so it uses information already stored in a database,“ Chokwe says. Through the call system, citizens dial 3-1-1 to report non-emergency problemswhich include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would g
43、ive them a large enough sample size to test the prototype (原型). Although the app isn t yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The prototype remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he
44、 wants to go even farther. “I want to keep working on the app until its nationwide,“ Chokwe says.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is the best title for the passage?（分数：2.00）A.A Solution to Traffic JamsB.An App to Detect PotholesC.Pothole Problems in Big CitiesD.Poor Road Conditions(2).The phrase

47、or thefts? Around the holidays, many families don t consider taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts. With just a few simple steps, you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations. Here are a few tips for making it diffic
48、ult to tell you are away from home. Either have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers, or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return.
