The manager expects to meet and talk with successful applicants in Paris in June and July. 50 We know from the text that those who are going

27、 find a place to live 52 If you want to work in Japan you should _. （ A） have some working experience （ B） know how to use computers （ C） present good teaching plans （ D） speak several languages 53 There is no denying it: Boys think differently from girls. Even though recent brain research evidence
28、is controversial(争议的 ), that conclusion seems inescapable. One clue to brain differences between the sexes came from observation of infants. One study found that from shortly after birth, females are more sensitive to certain types of sounds, particularly to a mothers voice. Female babies are also m
29、ore easily awoken by loud noises. Tests show girls have increased skin sensitivity, particularly in the fingertips, and are better at fine motor performance. Female infants speak sooner, have larger vocabularies and rarely show speech mistakes. (Stuttering, for instance, occurs almost only among boy
30、s.) Girls exceed boys in language abilities, and this early linguistic bias(倾向 ) often continues throughout life. Girls read sooner, learn foreign languages more easily and, as a result, are mole likely to enter to occupations involving language mastery. Boys, in contrast, show an early visual super
31、iority. They are also clumsier, performing poorly at something like arranging a row of beads, but excel at other activities calling on total body coordination. A study of preschool children by psychologist Diane McGuinness of Standford University found boys more curious, especially in regard to expl
32、oring his environment. Her studies also confirmed that males are better at manipulating three-dimensional space. There is evidence that some of these differences in performance are differences in brain organization between boys and girls. Overall, verbal and spatial abilities in boys tend to be “pac
33、kaged“ into different hemisphere: the right hemisphere for nonverbal tasks, the left for verbal tasks. But in girls nonverbal skills are likely to be found on both sides of the brain. The hemispheres of womens brains may be less specialized for these functions. 53 This passage is mainly about that _
34、. （ A） there exist the psychological differences between boys and girls （ B） boys are wiser than girls （ C） the male and female brain differences （ D） the structures of the brains of children are the same 54 Which of the following sentence is true? （ A） One sign of brain differences between sexes wa
35、s found by observing the newly born babies. （ B） Male babies are more sensitive in fingertips. （ C） Girls exceeds boys in visual abilities. （ D） Boys exceeds girls in audio abilities. 55 Nonverbal skills in girls brain can be found _. （ A） in the right hemisphere （ B） in the left hemisphere （ C） in
36、the upper part （ D） in the whole brain 56 Girls usually are not good at _. （ A） arranging a row of beads （ B） fine motor performance （ C） manipulating three-dimensional space （ D） mastering of languages 57 A diverse group formed each year to compete in a sport is an excellent example of team buildin
37、g. Groups develop into “teams“ when their common purpose is understood by all of the members. Within effective teams each member plays an assigned role using his or her talent to the best advantage. When members integrate their skills to accentuate strengths and minimize weakness team objectives are
38、 usually achieved. When on the other hand groups play as individuals, they usually fail. Most wins or loses are the result of “teamwork“. In sports, feedback is often immediate. If teamwork is lacking, good managers can identify where the problems are, and initiate corrective action in order to chan
39、ge things until the desired results are achieved. Like other athletic counterparts, group organized to perform business, community and governmental functions can achieve far more when they work as “teams“. Unfortunately, many leaders fail to recognize and apply the same principles, as they would whi
40、le coaching a sport. In a work organization they do not understand how to transform their group into a productive team. One reason may be that feedback in the form of results is not as quick or dramatic as in athletics. Problems can go unnoticed and corrective action if taken can be slow in coming.
41、Effective teamwork knows no level. It is just as important among top executives, as it is among middle managers, first line supervisors or the rank and file. The absence of teamwork at any level will limit organization effectiveness and can eventually kill an organization. 57 It can be inferred(推断出
42、)that the main idea of this passage is _. （ A） cooperation in sports （ B） productive team （ C） advantages of being in a team （ D） effective teamwork 58 Which of the following statements is true according to this passage? （ A） If everyone understands the common purpose, team objectives can be achieve
43、d. （ B） That each member emphasizes theirs strengths and minimizes their weakness enables the building of a teams objectives. （ C） Many leaders know how change their groups into productive teams, but they have not enough time. （ D） Feedbacks are not immediate, however, problems can be solved very qu
44、ickly. 59 If teamwork is lacking what should good managers do? （ A） Tell groups to play as a individuals. （ B） Demand each member to play assigned role. （ C） Find the problems and take corrective actions. （ D） Order groups to compete in a sport. 60 The sentence “Effective teamwork knows no level.“ m
45、eans _. （ A） leaders and team members are equal in a team （ B） effective teamwork is both important to leaders and team members in a team （ C） effective team may be set up among top executives and lower level managers （ D） the presence of teamwork will limit organization effectiveness and kill an or
46、ganization 61 For any Englishman there can never be any discussion as to who is the worlds greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer. All
47、 of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeares writings that have become part of the common property of English speaking people. Most of the time we axe probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLET and complaine
48、d that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations! Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal, employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thou
49、sand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeares day. 61 The passage tells readers that English
