Several years ago, I had to replace a receptionist for my unit. Before I advertised for the position, I was approached by another manager, and asked if l would consider a transfer from his staff instead of opening a new competition. My natural question was to ask who he wanted me to consider and why.
It appeared from his description of this employee, Maria, that she was having a lot of problems performing her duties, and had difficulties with her boss, and did not appear to respond to any attempts he, the manager, had made to settle the issues. Now, after listening to his explanation, I really had severe doubts. What crossed my mind, after this discussion, was that he wanted me to take a problem off his hands.
I told him I would think about it and would let him know the next day. As promised, after thinking more about this potential performance issue, I decided that I would agree to speak with Maria privately before I made any decision.
And, what I found out during this interview, left me deep in thought. As it turned out, the performance issue appeared to result from working for a boss who never extended a good morning greeting, never gave a word of encouragement, and was constantly changing the work load and routines. The end result was a totally ruined employee who was unconfident, hated to see a new work day start.
I decided to accept her transfer to my unit. What started out as a shy, withdrawn and frightened employee turned out to be one of the most productive and loyal employee that I had ever worked with. Maria couldn't do enough and was constantly asking for more and for more responsibility. I was more than happy to give her what she needed-praise for work well done, respect as a person, and encouragement for doing well in anything she dealt with.
Sometimes, we are guilty of holding others back from accomplishing or doing or developing as they should or could. It may be a wise idea that we all look in the mirror, from time to time, to see what we are really like.
37.What can we learn about the writer from the first paragraph?
A. He is a manager in the company.
B. He doesn't like his receptionist.
C. He likes to compete with others.
D. He wants to find another position.
38.After hearing his colleague's description of Maria, the writer thought that Maria_______.
A. attempted to settle the issues
B. was a problem to her boss
C. shouldn't stay in the company
D. could get on well with others
39.Why did Maria fail to perform well in her previous job?
A. Her previous job was not suitable for her.
B. She had difficulty responding to her manager.
C. Her boss didn't inspire her working enthusiasm.
D. Her boss showed no trust in her ability.
40.The writer accepted Maria's transfer to unit probably because he thought that________.
A. she was a ruined employee
B. she would need his protection
C. she would turn out to be a good employee
D. she was a shy and frightened employee

C. greet his employees and give them much work
D. always give his employees guidance in working

What if we could replace oil with a fuel which produced no pollution and which everybody had equal access to? The good news is that we can, in fact, we are swimming in it—literally.
Hydrogen is one of the building blocks of the universe, our own sun is basically, a big, dense cloud of the stuff. And hydrogen can be used to create electricity for power, heat and light.
The problem is that hydrogen is everywhere and nowhere at the same time, It does not exist as a material on its own, but is always part of something else, So it has to be separated before it can be used.
Most commercial hydrogen in use now is created from natural gas, As oil will start to run out in around the year 2030., it makes sense to produce as much hydrogen as possible as soon as we can ,But natural gas supplies will also begin to run out soon after, Another source is needed.
Researchers are now using electricity to make water into hydrogen ,Companies are working on the problem in their own areas ,The first commercial hydrogen, “fuel cells” for computers and mobile phones have already come on to the market, Auto companies have also invested over US

What if we could replace oil with a fuel which produced no pollution and which everybody had equal access to? The good news is that we can, in fact, we are swimming in it—literally.
Hydrogen is one of the building blocks of the universe, our own sun is basically, a big, dense cloud of the stuff. And hydrogen can be used to create electricity for power, heat and light.
The problem is that hydrogen is everywhere and nowhere at the same time, It does not exist as a material on its own, but is always part of something else, So it has to be separated before it can be used.
Most commercial hydrogen in use now is created from natural gas, As oil will start to run out in around the year 2030., it makes sense to produce as much hydrogen as possible as soon as we can ,But natural gas supplies will also begin to run out soon after, Another source is needed.
Researchers are now using electricity to make water into hydrogen ,Companies are working on the problem in their own areas ,The first commercial hydrogen, “fuel cells” for computers and mobile phones have already come on to the market, Auto companies have also invested over US $2billion in the production of hydrogen fuelled cars
The nations of a hydrogen fuelled planet would not fight over energy recourses. There would be a great reduction in pollution, the only by-product of creating hydrogen is pure drinking water—something that is very scarce in many parts of the world. But that is not where the good news ends, once the costs of producing hydrogen have been brought down, it will possibly provide power for a third of the Earth’s population that has no electricity.
And electricity creates wealth, In South Africa over the last decade there has been a large programme of electrification, Thanks to the programme, people do not have to spend their days looking firewood to burn for heat, And with electric light , they can work long into the night.
Some scientists see radical changes in the way the human race co-operates, Hydrogen creates electricity, and is also created by it. With dual use fuel cells, everyone who consumes energy could also produce it. Late at night, a man drives home in London and connects his car into the “world-wide hydrogen web”, which it supplies with electricity. A few hours later, a man in Beijing uses that electricity to power the hydrogen cell in his car, Hydrogen could be the first democratic energy source.
Like all dreams of the future, it seems very far away, But the threat of war and terrorism in the Middle East has made governments and businesses more aware of the need to end oil dependency and spend more time and money on hydrogen resource, So maybe the threat of war is not a completely bad thing for the future of the human race.
4.What does the underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refer to?
A. wealth B. hydrogen C. electricity D. fuel
5.What is the problem with using hydrogen as energy?
A. It has by-products
B. It has to be separated from other materials
C. It will make energy too cheap
D. It is too far away from us
6.Why does the author give the example in the last but one paragraph?
A. To tell us that we produce energy while using hydrogen power
B. To tell us that hydrogen power does not produce pollution
C. To show hydrogen power can stop war
D. To show hydrogen power is cheap
7.What is the author’s attitude about the future?
A. skeptical B. negative C. indifferent D. positive
8.What is the passage mainly about?
A. war and energy
B. the future of hydrogen as an energy resource
C. the disadvantages of oil
D. How to end war5ykj.com
【文章大意】本文主要講述的是為了我們的資源可能會枯竭,但是我們可以使用新型的hydrogen能源作為我們的主要資源。文章具體描述了分類hydrogen的困難等
4.C 推理題。根據(jù)本句Some scientists see radical changes in the way the human race co-operates, Hydrogen creates electricity, and is also created by it.可知這里的it就是指前一句里的electricity指這兩種物質Hydrogen和electricity是相互依存的。故C正確。
5.B 推理題。根據(jù)文章第三段The problem is that hydrogen is everywhere and nowhere at the same time , It does not exist as a material on its own ,but is always part of something else, So it has to be separated before it can be used.可知最大的問題是hydrogen并不是單獨存在的,而是和其他的物質在一起的。所以要使用hydrogen,首先就是要把hydrogen分離出來。故B正確。
6.A 推理題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段1,2行Some scientists see radical changes in the way the human race co-operates, Hydrogen creates electricity, and is also created by it. With dual use fuel cells, everyone who consumes energy could also produce it可知舉這個例子就是為了告訴我們在分離出hydrogen的時候,我們也需要消耗電能等其他能源。故A正確。
7.D 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段Like all dreams of the future, it seems very far away, But the threat of war and terrorism in the Middle East has made governments and businesses more aware of the need to end oil dependency and spend more time and money on hydrogen resource可知作者對于未來并不是很擔憂 ,而是有樂觀的觀點。故D正確。
8.B 主旨大意題。本文主要講述的是為了我們的資源可能會枯竭,但是我們可以使用新型的hydrogen能源作為我們的主要資源。文章具體描述了分類hydrogen的困難等。故B正確。

While applying to college may seem easy, getting in can be tough! When you apply for college, you will have to be honest with yourself and do a bit of research to find the right fit. Here are three steps to take when applying to colleges for the best chances at getting into the best college for you.
Step l: Making A List Of Colleges To Apply To
With over 6,000 colleges in the United States, the first step in applying to college is to do some research and make a college list . This process will be different for everyone. The number of colleges you apply to can vary, from applying to 1 school (not recommended) to 30 schools (not recommended),each applicant can choose how many colleges they apply to. Many limit the number because applications are accompanied by a fee. .
Step2: Splitting The List Into Target, Reach and Safety Schools
In general, students will want to apply to three types of schools: Target, Reach and Safety schools. It is up to you how many applications you send, but a good mix would be more target than reach, and at least one safety. You will need to take your list, and now decide which are your top picks, which are attainable for you academically, which are affordable for you only with aid, and refine your broad list into a group of schools that gives you the best chance for success. Talk to an admissions counselor at your high school if you have questions about this.
Step 3: Completing and Sending Applications to Colleges
Once your list is complete you are ready to apply to college by completing and sending in applications! College applications take time to complete —you have to write essays, ask for recommendations and get test scores sent to schools—so stay organized! All colleges will require these types of application materials, so start thinking about these items well before October or December. Once you complete and send them, then you have successfully applied to college.
17.It can be learned from the first paragraph that_____________.
A. you should be cautious to pick up the right college
B. you don't have to think twice before applying to college
C. once you apply to a college, you'll be admitted to it easily

A. needn’t consider about your ability
B. had better take your academy into account
C. are supposed to choose merely one most fit
D. are required to pick out more than 30 colleges
19.Which of the following statements is WRONG?

B. Refer to admissions counselor at high school if necessary.
C. One doesn't have to send his test scores to the intended college.
D. Teachers' recommendations are included in application materials.
20.We can conclude from the text that____________.
A. each applicant has the right to apply to any colleges for free
B. the more college one chooses, the more successful he will be
C. applicants should send required materials before the deadline
D. safety schools are those that don't have so many requirements
21.The text is mainly about____________.
A .how to succeed in life B. how to apply to college
C. how to ask for information D. how to do a research in college
【文章大意】本文主要介紹的就是在美國申請大學的時候要考慮的步驟,即如何申請美國的大學。
17.A 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章1,2行When you apply for college, you will have to be honest with yourself and do a bit of research to find the right fit.可知我們在申請大學的時候一定要非常謹慎,要做一些研究工作。故A正確。
18.B 根據(jù)文章第三段. You will need to take your list, and now decide which are your top picks, which are attainable for you academically, which are affordable for you only with aid, and refine your broad list into a group of schools that gives you the best chance for success.可知前面要把自己的acdedemic的從句包括在內(nèi)。故B正確。
19.C 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章最后一段, ask for recommendations and get test scores sent to schools—so stay organized!可知我們在發(fā)送申請的時候,要把自己的從句計算在內(nèi)。故C錯誤。
20.C 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章最后一段All colleges will require these types of application materials, so start thinking about these items well before October or December.可知一定要在規(guī)定的時間之前把申請發(fā)送出去。故C正確。
