In the family, traditional cultural patterns confer leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as fri
17、endship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. 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 resea
18、rch have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders“. It seems that 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 part
19、icular group.Research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different 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
20、leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-beings of a social group s 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
21、them.Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They 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.
22、They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide 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 promo
23、ting group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect.41 What does the passage mainly discuss?（A）The problems faced by leaders.（B） How leadership differs in small and large groups.（C） How social groups determine who will lead them.（D）The role of leaders in social groups.42 The passage mentions all of t
24、he following ways by which people can become leaders EXCEPT_.（A）recruitment（B） formal election process（C） specific leadership training（D）traditional cultural patterns43 Which of the following statements about leadership can be inferred from Paragraph 2?（A）A person who is an effective leader of a par
25、ticular group may not be an effective leader in another group.（B） Few people succeed in sharing a leadership role with another person.（C） A person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research on leadership.（D）Most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of th
26、eir qualifications.44 In mentioning “natural leaders“ (Para. 2) , the author is making the point that_.（A）few people qualify as “natural leaders“（B） there is no proof that “natural leaders“ exist（C） natural leaders are easily accepted by the members of a group（D）natural leaders share a similar set o
27、f characteristics45 The passage indicates that instrumental leaders generally focus on_.（A）ensuring harmonious relationships（B） sharing responsibility with group members（C） identifying new leaders（D）achieving a goal45 In its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, mak
28、ing the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke 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
29、 build an underground drainage(排水) system, but there simply wasn t enough difference 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 b
30、uild the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level 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
31、floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, 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
32、?Thats where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills 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. A
33、t Pullman s signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same 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 eve
34、ry problem has a solution. But in Chicago s early history, every engineering 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.46 The author mentions the joke to show_.（A）horse
35、s were fairly useful in Chicago（B） Chicago s streets were extremely muddy（C） Chicago was very dangerous in the spring（D）the Chicago people were particularly humorous47 The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to_.（A）get rid of the street dirt（B） lower the Chicago River（C） fight against h
36、eavy floods（D）build the pipes above ground48 The underlined word “hoist“ in Paragraph 4 means “_“.（A）change（B） lift（C） repair（D）decorate49 What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?（A）It went on smoothly as intended.（B） It interrupted the business of the hotel.（C） It invol
37、ved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.（D）It separated the building from its foundation.50 The passage is mainly about the early Chicagos_.（A）popular life styles and their influences（B） environmental disasters and their causes（C） engineering problems and their solutions（D）successful businessmen and thei
38、r achievements50 Chokwe Selassie is on a mission 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 hom
39、etown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was 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 p
40、othole, it is highlighted(突出显示 )in red,“ Chokwe 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 inf
41、ormation about the streets of Jackson. “ It works 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 focusi
42、ng on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give 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
43、includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. “I want to keep working on the app until its nationwide,“ Chokwe says.51 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?（A）A Solution to Traffic Jams（B） An App to Detect Potholes（C） Pothole Problems in Big Cities（D）Po

45、555 According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?（A）Chokwe developed the app all by himself.（B） People can buy this app from the online store.（C） His mother s car was once damaged ever a pothole.（D）The app works by using the city s 911 call system.55 How do you know if your ho

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 f
47、or making it difficult 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. Nothing says “ Hey, we are not home!“ like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many differen
48、t newspapers in your driveway.Set several different lights in your house on random timers. Don t leave your outdoor lights on all the time. Instead, put your outside lights on timers to be on during the nights. If an outdoor light remains on for days at a time, it means that nobody is home to turn i
49、t off.If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation, leave them with a friend, rather than having someone come into your house every day to take care of them.
