Practice 1  Well before his death, Peter Drucker had already become a legend. Over his 95 prolific years, he had been a true Renaissance mail, and teacher of religion, philosophy and political science. But his most important contribution, clearly, is in business. What John Keynes is to economics, Drucker is to management.  In the l980s Peter Dmcker began to have grave doubts about business and even capitalism itself. He no longer saw the corporation as the ideal space to create community. In fact, he saw nearly the opposite: a place where self-interest had triumphed over the egalitarian principles he long championed. In both his writings and speeches, Drucker emerged as one of Corporate America's most important critics. When conglomerates were the rage, he preached against reckless mergers and acquisitions. When executives were engaged in empire-building,he argued against excess staff and the inefficiencies of numerous “assistants to.”  In a 1984 essay he persuasively argued that CEO pay had rocketed out of control and implored boards to hold CEO compensation to no more than 20 times what the rank and file made. He maintained that multi-million-dollar severance packages had perverted management's ability to look out anything but itself. What particularly enraged him was the tendency of corporate managers to reap massive earnings while firing thousands of their workers. “This is morally and socially unforgivable,” wrote Drucker, “and we will pay a heavy price for it.”

1.BComputer programmer David Jones earns ¥35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card (信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David’s firm releases (推出) two new games for the fast throwing computer market each month.But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage (抵押贷款), or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,” he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.” David added: “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement (退休) is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”60. In what way is David different from people of his age?A. He often goes out with friends.B. He lives with his mother.C. He has a handsome income. D.

  • 第2题:

    I met him on the Internet and we chatted for several months. Every time I suggested we meet in person,he would come up with an excuse. I thought it was strange-but he told me that he had not gotten over the death of his wife and he was still grieving for her.

    I thought that he needed a friend and decided that I could be that friend. We sent cards, exchanged gifts,talked on the phone and I was sure that we would meet someday. I had spoken with his children so I was sure that what he told me was true. I could not wait for the day when we would meet. I was so looking forward to being able to reach out and touch him. To hug him,to hold him and feel his big strong arms around me.

    After almost two years of time,thousands of dollars on long distance phone calls,I was very frustrated at the endless stream of excuses as to why we could never seem to make a time to meet. Finally,contacted the website WhoisHe. com and asked if they could check out the man who had taken up so much of my heart,my energy and my life. I had enough information about him and felt that if I could confirm what he had been telling me-I could feel okay about these delays. I had hopes that I didn't want to dash if he was telling the truth. I believed I could wait a little while longer.

    Well, I am glad that I decided to have him checked out-he was nothing he claimed to be. He was first and foremost a married man. He was not a man grieving for the loss of his wife. He was a man cheating on his wife,with me-and I found out later,with countless others on the“net”. He did not care that he had hurt me in a very deep and pathetic way. He talked of spending his life together with me. He told my son that he wanted to make me happy. Basically,he just lied. He was such a good liar I did not see it coming. It was as if he had been able to worm his way into my heart-and he didn't care about the effect he had on my hopes and dreams.

    Each of us should look at the signs that are so clear if we are willing to see them. Do not let someone keep making excuse after excuse. If something feels wrong-likely it is. It is good to know the truth and be able to deal with it. Next time I will pay more attention. I may never be able to trust someone online again.

    It can be inferred from Para. 4 that______.

    A.the man was a single person in reality

    B.the woman was the man's only girlfriend

    C.the man had too many girlfriends on the net

    D.the woman had countless online boyfriends


    正确答案:C

    On 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan,a British aristocrat,vanished.The day before,his children's nanny had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too.To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found.Now,over 30 years later,the police have reopened the case,hoping that new DNA techniques will help solve this murder mystery.
    People suspected that"Lucky",as he was called by friends,wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with.They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark,killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises,came downstairs and was also attacked,but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder,a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny.
    What happened next is unclear,but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories:he may have killed himself,he could have escaped or he might have been killed.It appears that the night after the murder,"Lucky"borrowed a car and drove it,Lucan's friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.
    Another version of events says that"Lucky"left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France.He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country.However, after a time,his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.
    A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan Mac Laiwhlin.a former detective.He believes that Lucan traveled to Goa,India,where he assumed the identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in 1996.In the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The man who died in 1996 was really Haplin,an ex-school teacher turned hippy. So what is the truth about Lucky?DNA testing has solved many murder cases,but who knows if it can close the book on this one.

    The public are still interested in the investigation because________.
    A:of the terrible murder
    B:of the use of new DNA techniques
    C:Lord Lucan has never been found
    D:Lord Lucan was famous

    答案:C
    解析:
    文章第一段告诉我们公众之所以对此案感兴趣是因为Lucan还没被找到。因此只有选项C是正确的。
    第二段讲到,保姆被杀是因为天黑看不清楚,而被Lucan误杀了。因此选项C是正确的。
    文章第三段最后一句提到Lucan的朋友在一个采访中表示,他觉得Lucan 在英吉利海峡弄沉了自己坐的船自杀了。因此选项D是正确的。
    根据第四段我们知道救Lucan的人担心自己也会被卷入到谋杀案件中,因此杀了Lucan。最符合此意的为B项,意思为他们觉得如果Lucan被捕,他有可能跟警察提起这些人。
    从文章最后一段的叙述我们知道Mac Laughlin确信Lucan逃到了印度,在那里换了个身份,假装成Barry Haplin。因此选项C是正确的。

    Aspinall thought Lucan killed himself by______.

    答案:D
    解析:
    题干意为“公众对这件谋杀案的调查依旧很感兴趣的原因是……”。该题为细节题,而且为细节题中的因果逻辑题,在解题时要注意关注短文中陈述原因的句子,尤其是一些典型用来引出原因的词语和结构,如:because, because of, for, due to, thanks to, owing to等,同时还需要注意英文中的因果逻辑陈述习惯:先果后因。利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索,在短文前三段中查找相关句,同时留意题干中的修饰词in-terested“感兴趣的”,这样在第一段中找到相关句:To this day the British public(与题干中的名词短语the public呼应)are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found.相关句意为“直到现在,英国民众对这个谋杀案仍然很感兴趣,因为鲁肯伯爵一直没有被找到”。该句直接陈述了原因,所以C项“鲁肯伯爵一直没有被找到”是正确的答案。
    题干意为“人们认为鲁肯杀了保姆的原因是什么?”该题为细节题,同时也是因果逻辑题。利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索,顺着上一题相关句的位置往下查找相关句,这样在第二段中找到相关句:People suspected that “Lucky”(指Lucan), as he was called by friends,wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lu-can entered his old house and in the dark,killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises,came downstairs and was also attacked,but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder,a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny.相关句(带有下划线的句子)意为“鲁肯伯爵被朋友称为‘幸运儿’,人们猜测他想要杀了他与之分居的妻子。有人说鲁肯踏进他的老房子,在一片漆黑中错杀了保姆”,由此可知C项“在一片漆黑之中,他误认为她(保姆)是鲁肯夫人”是答案。
    题干意为“Aspinall认为鲁肯是怎样自杀的?”该题为细节题,利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索,顺着上一题相关句的位置往下查找相关句,这样在第三段中找到相关句:What happened next is unclear,but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories:he may have killed himself,he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder,“Lucky”(指Lucan)borrowed a car and drove it,Lucan's friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had com-mitted suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.相关句(带下划线的句子)意为“在谋杀发生的第二天晚上,‘幸运儿’借了一辆车然后开走了,鲁肯的朋友Aspinall在一个采访中表示,他觉得鲁肯伯爵在英吉利海峡中凿沉了自己坐的船,已经自杀了”。由此可知鲁肯的朋友Aspinall认为鲁肯伯爵是凿沉了自己坐的船自杀的,因此答案为D。
    题干意为“鲁肯可能已经被杀了,原因是人们……”。利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索,顺着上一题相关句的位置往下查找相关句,这样在第四段中找到相关句:Another version of events says that “Lucky” left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country. However,after a time,his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.相关句(带下划线的句子)意为“然而,过了一段时间,救他的人开始担心自己也会被卷入到谋杀案中,所以他们杀了鲁肯”。由此可知鲁肯可能 已经被杀的原因是人们(帮助鲁肯的人)害怕自己也被卷入到谋杀案中,因此答案为B项“认为如果鲁肯被警方抓住他可能向警方供出他们来”。

    The Iceman

    On a September day in 1991,two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy. High
    up on a mountain pass,they found the body of a man lying on the ice.At that height(10,499 feet,or 3,200
    meters),the ice is usually permanent,but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had
    melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.
    It was lying face downward. The skeleton(骨架)was in perfect condition , except for a wound in the
    head.There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes.The hands were still holding the
    wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots.Nearby was a pair of
    gloves made of tree bark(树皮)and a holder for arrows.
    Who was the man?How and when had he died?Everybody had a different answer to these questions.
    Some people thought that it was from this century,perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War Ⅰ,
    since several soldiers had already been found in the area.A Swiss woman believed it might be her father,who
    had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found.The scientists who
    rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older,maybe even a thousand years old.
    With modem dating techniques,the. scientists soon leamed that the iceman was about 5,300 years old.
    Bom in about 3300 B.C.,he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe.At first scientists thought he was proba-
    bly a hunter who had died in an accident in the high mountains.More recent evidence,however,tells a differ-
    ent story.A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his
    skin,but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almost certainly died from this wound,and not from the
    wound on the back of his head.This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle.It might have been
    part of a larger war,or he might have been fighting bandits. He might even have been a bandit himself.
    By studying his clothes and tools,scientists have already leamed a great deal from the iceman about the
    times he lived in.we may never know the full story of how he died,but he has given us important clues to the
    history of those distant times.

    The scientists made the deduction that the iceman
    A:was hit in the shoulder by an arrowhead
    B:was probably in some kind of a battle
    C:had got a wound on the back of his head
    D:had a tiny hole in his skin causing his death

    答案:B
    解析:
    第一段提到:1991年是特别暖的一年,山上的冰比以前消融得更多,因此尸体才显露 出来。
    第二段提到:它面朝下,除了头部有伤外,骨架状况很好。仅就此推断,冰人可能死于 头部伤。
    根据第三段可知,文中未提及选项B。
    选项A和选项C是事实而非推论;选项B是推论;选项D不符合事实。
    bandit意为“强盗”,与:obbe:意思相近。选项B意为“士兵”;选项C意为“猎人”;选项 D意为“射击手”。

    The Iceman

    On a September day in 1991,two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy. High
    up on a mountain pass,they found the body of a man lying on the ice.At that height(10,499 feet or 3,200
    meters),the ice is usually permanent,but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had
    melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.
    It was lying face downward. The skeleton(骨架)was in perfect condition, except for a wound in the
    head.There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes.The hands were still holding the
    wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots.Nearby was a pair of
    gloves made of tree bark(树皮)and a holder for arrows.
    Who was this man?How and when had he died?Everybody had a different answer to these questions.
    Some people thought that it was from this century,perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I,
    since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might be her father,
    who had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found.The scientists
    who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older,maybe even a thousand years old.
    With modern dating techniques,the scientists soon learned that the iceman was about 5,300 years old.
    Born in about 3300 B.C.,he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe.At first scientists thought he was probably
    a hunter who had died in an accident in the high mountains.More recent evidence,however,tells a different
    story.A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his skin,
    but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almost certainly died from this wound, and not from the
    wound on the back of his head.This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle.It might have been
    part of a larger war,or he might have beenl fighting bandits.He might even have been a bandit himself.
    By studying his clothes and tools,scientists have already learned a great deal from the iceman about the
    times he lived in.we may never know the full story of how he died,but he has given us important clues to the
    history of those distant times.

    The scientists made the deduction that the iceman______________.
    A:was hit in the shoulder by an arrowhead
    B:had a tiny hole in his skin causing his death
    C:was probably in some kind of a battle
    D:had got a wound on the back of his head

    答案:C
    解析:
    第一段提到:1991年是特别暖的一年,山上的冰比以前消融的更多,因此尸体才显露 出来。
    第二段提到:它面朝下,除了头部有伤外,骨架状况很好。仅就此推断,冰人可能死于 头部伤。
    根据第三段可知,文中未提及选项B。
    选项A和选项D是事实而非推论;选项C是推论;选项B不符合事实。
    bandit“强盗”,与robber意思相近。B项意为“射击手”;C项意为“士兵”;D项意为 “猎人”。第5部分:补全短文

  • 第16题:

    Mr. Arman admitted that he had been__________ surprised by the high volume of sales his company had generated last quarter.

    A.most thorough
    B.thoroughly
    C.thoroughness
    D.thorough

    答案:B
    解析:
    空格出现在“be动词”和过去分词之间时,把副词当做正确答案的首位候补来分析句意。选项中只有意为“非常地,完全地”的“throughly”为副词,而且将其放在空格处也符合句意。

    On 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan,a British aristocrat,vanished.The day before,his children's nanny had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too.To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found.Now,over 30 years later,the police have reopened the case,hoping that new DNA techniques will help solve this murder mystery.
    People suspected that"Lucky",as he was called by friends,wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with.They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark,killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises,came downstairs and was also attacked,but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder,a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny.
    What happened next is unclear,but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories:he may have killed himself,he could have escaped or he might have been killed.It appears that the night after the murder,"Lucky"borrowed a car and drove it,Lucan's friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.
    Another version of events says that"Lucky"left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France.He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country.However, after a time,his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.
    A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan Mac Laiwhlin.a former detective.He believes that Lucan traveled to Goa,India,where he assumed the identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in 1996.In the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The man who died in 1996 was really Haplin,an ex-school teacher turned hippy. So what is the truth about Lucky?DNA testing has solved many murder cases,but who knows if it can close the book on this one.

    Aspinall thought Lucan killed himself by_________.
    A: jumping into water
    B:jumping out of his house
    C:sailing his boat
    D:sinking his boat

    答案:D
    解析:
    文章第一段告诉我们公众之所以对此案感兴趣是因为Lucan还没被找到。因此只有选项C是正确的。
    第二段讲到,保姆被杀是因为天黑看不清楚,而被Lucan误杀了。因此选项C是正确的。
    文章第三段最后一句提到Lucan的朋友在一个采访中表示,他觉得Lucan 在英吉利海峡弄沉了自己坐的船自杀了。因此选项D是正确的。
    根据第四段我们知道救Lucan的人担心自己也会被卷入到谋杀案件中,因此杀了Lucan。最符合此意的为B项,意思为他们觉得如果Lucan被捕,他有可能跟警察提起这些人。
    从文章最后一段的叙述我们知道Mac Laughlin确信Lucan逃到了印度,在那里换了个身份,假装成Barry Haplin。因此选项C是正确的。

    D:was probably in some kind of a battle

    答案:D
    解析:
    从第一段中“but 1991 had been an especially warm year.”可知,因为天气暖和,冰雪消 融,冰人才露了出来。其他几项所列原因都不是最主要的。
    根据第二段的细节描写可以推测他可能是因为头上的伤而死亡的。
    根据文章第三段可知,只有B项没有被提及。
    本题A、B、C三项都是事实而不是推测。
    通过上下文可推测该词的意思是“强盗”。

    A Pay Rise or Not?
    “Unless I get a rise.I'11 have a talk with the boss, Henry Manley,”George Strong said to himself. George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in,but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family.That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham,a nearby city about 50 miles away.He had been offered a job in a factory there,and the pay was far better.
    George lived in Wyeford,a medium-sized town .He really liked the place and didn't like the idea of moving somewhere else,but if he took the job in Birmingham,he would have to move his family there.
    Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors.The corn-pany was in deep trouble because,among other reasons,the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices. As a result,Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well. Otherwise he would not get any orders at all .Even then,orders were still not coming in fast enough,so that there was no money for raises(加工资)for his workers. Somehow ,he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well.He sighed.Just then the phone rang.
    His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible.Manley sighed again.He could guess what it was about.George Strong was a very young engineer. The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him.Manley rubbed his forehead (前额);his problems seemed endless.

    Henry Manley was already deeply in debt.
    A: Right
    B: Wrong
    C: Not mentioned

    答案:C
    解析:
    题目说的是:Henry Manley早已负债累累。第三段说到公司困难重重,Manley不得不降低产品价格和减少利润。但文章只是说Manley利润减少,并没提到其负债。C正确:
    题目说的是:在伯明翰提供给George Strong的工作报酬要好。第一段最后一句话是这么说的:那儿的一家工厂给他提供了一份工作,报酬要好得多。
    题目说的是:George Strong接受在伯明翰的那份工作的话,他将不得不把他的家留在Wyeford。第二段是这么说的:……如果他接受在伯明翰的那份工作,他将不得不把他的家搬到那里。
    题目说的是:Henry Manley的公司困难重重。第三段的第二句话是这么说的:“The company was in deep trouble because…”。
    题目说的是:Henry Manley的公司获得的利润足以给工人增加工资。第三段的倒数第四句是这么说的:……没有钱给他的工人加工资。
    题目说的是:Henry Manley压根儿不知道George Strong为什么要见他。最后一段的第三句是这么说的:他能猜到George Strong找他的原因。
    题目说的是:George Strong是Henry Manley公司最好的工程师。最后一段是这么说的:George Strong是一个很年轻的工程师。公司除非把像他这样的人留住,否则是没有前途的。这些信息不足以推出“他是一个Henry Manley公司最好的工程师。”

    /; fourth; have been ruling

    C

    the; fourth; was ruling

    D

    a; the four; ruled


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    句意:John F. Kennedy是美国历史上第四位年青的总统,也是第四位被暗杀的总统。你知道他死亡前执政了多长时间吗?最高级和序数词前都需要加定冠词修饰,统治这个国家为过去的过去,发生在Kennedy死亡之前,因此要用过去完成时或过去完成进行时,所以A项正确。
