21、The story of The emperor’s new clothes is one of Andersen’s best-known works. Cheaters fool the emperor into believing they have made him a fantastic suit. Courtiers (侍臣) dare not say that the emperor is naked; it takes a child to point out the obvious. How many companies have ploughed ahead with expensive projects that were favoured by the CEO, even when other managers have had doubts? The moral is that people are often too restricted by social practice to state their views.
In his new book Rebel Ideas: The Power of Diverse Thinking, Matthew Syed argues that the key to dealing with this problem is “cognitive (认知) diversity”, in other words, assembling a team of people with different perspectives and intellectual backgrounds. It is not just about selecting people for teams from both sexes and various races. Hire only Cambridge politics graduates or Stanford software engineers and they will have studied under the same professors and absorbed similar world views regardless of their gender or skin colour.
There is another element to selecting a good team: ensuring that those viewpoints are heard and respected. A study of over 300 projects by the Rotterdam School of Management found that those led by junior managers were more likely to succeed than those led by senior managers—maybe because other team members were less scared about pointing out potential dangers to someone of lower rank.
The ability to speak up within an organization, without fear of punishment, is known as “psychological safety”. Mr. Syed cites a study of teams at Google, which found that self-reported psychological safety was by far the most important factor behind successful teamwork at the technology giant.
One way to overcome shyness while brainstorming, for instance, is for everyone to write down their ideas but ensure their names are never known. That way, opinions about thoughts are less closely tied to the status of the thinker and can be tested against each other with less fear or favour.
【1】Why is The story of the emperor’s new clothes mentioned?
A．To confirm its popularity.
B．To argue for children’s wisdom.
C．To make fun of the adults.
D．To indicate the importance of speaking up.
【2】Which of the following makes an effective team?
A．People with the same cognitive origin.
B．People with more races and gender.
C．People with various academic backgrounds.
D．People following their leaders unconditionally.
【3】Why does a team with a junior manager tend to succeed?
A．It encourages members to compete.
B．It creates a relaxing atmosphere.
C．It allows members to voice opinions.
D．It thinks little of social ranks.
【4】What do we know about “psychological safety”?
A．It is a term invented by Mr. Syed.
B．It contributes to diversity thinking.
C．It is a secret weapon of the Google.
D．It is a project done at the Rotterdam.
22、A boy playing in the woods noticed a cocoon（茧）. While watching it, he suddenly found a small opening appeared, and that a butterfly struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. So the boy decided to help the butterfly.
He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly could come out easily. Much to his surprise, the butterfly got a swollen（鼓胀的）body but very small, weak wings when it came out of the cocoon.
The boy expected that the butterfly's body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would enlarge and be able to support the body. But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling（爬）around with a swollen body and small wings. It was never able to fly.
The boy was in his kindness, but he did not understand the nature rules. The struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening was the way of forcing fluid（流体）from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We would not be as strong as we could have been. And we could never fly.
【1】What did the boy see the butterfly doing in the first paragraph?
A．It was flying difficultly in the woods.
B．It was trying to get out of the cocoon.
C．It was looking for food in a cocoon.
D．It was busy making a cocoon for itself.
【2】What would have happened to the butterfly without the boy's help?
A．The butterfly would come out easily.
B．The butterfly could crawl on its wings.
C．The butterfly would prepare for the flight.
D．The butterfly would never gain its freedom.
【3】What is the best title for the story?
A．The struggle for freedom.
B．A kind-hearted boy.
C．The joy of helping a butterfly.
D．A lucky butterfly.
23、If knowledge is power, then books are fuel and libraries are power stations! Here are four amazing libraries that can get you positively charged.
New York Public Library—New York

Chetham's Library— Manchester

24、During the last twenty years there has been increasing concern with the quality of the environment. Along with air and water pollutants, noise pollution has been considered as a serious pollutant. As noise levels have risen, the effects of noise have become more obvious.
Noise is described as “unwanted sound”. Causes of noise pollution include traffic, aircraft, rock bands, barking dogs, television, garbage trucks, and noise from neighbors, voices, alarms, and boats. Studies show that over forty percent of Americans are disturbed at home or lose sleep because of noise pollution.
Noise has bad effects on people and the environment. Noise causes hearing loss, interferes (干扰) with human activities at home and work, and is in various ways dangerous to people’s health and well-being.
When we think, talk, listen to music, or sleep, we need quiet. Even low levels of noise can be annoying or frustrating. Sudden increases in volume can make sounds annoying. The quieter the background is, the more penetrating a noise can be.
Noise can also make instructions or warning unclear, resulting in accidents. Louder noise bursts can cause more problems. Continued stress caused by living in noisy conditions can lead to high blood pressure, which is the major cause of some diseases.
Long exposure to noise levels above eighty-five decibels (分贝) can damage inner ear cells and lead to hearing loss. Noise can result in the uncontrolled fear response and can cause adrenaline (肾上腺素) to be pumped into the bloodstream, the heart rate to quicken, muscles to tense, breathing to go up, and the digestive system to slow down.
Local government has the responsibility to fight noise pollution. For example, it can regulate the speed of trains through their community. On the other hand, a responsible citizen will never make noise pollution wherever he is.
【1】What does the underlined word “penetrating” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．High and exciting.
B．Deep and shocking
C．Loud and unpleasant.
D．Clear and comfortable.
【2】Which of the following is related to noise pollution?
A．Fast digestive system.
B．Low blood pressure.
C．Slow heart rate.
D．Fast breathing.
【3】In the last para graph, the author suggests that ________.
A．people who make noise pollution should be punished
B．the government should be responsible for fighting noise pollution
C．the government should offer its people better education on noise pollution
D．people and the government should work together to reduce noise pollution
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．Measurement of noise levels.
B．Bad effects of noise pollution.
C．Hearing damage from environmental noise.
D．Community reactions to noise.
