21、 Quite often, no matter how good you are, your success is dependent on how other people such as your boss, peers, clients and customers notice your communication and responses. So when you come to people who make the key difference between helping you or holding you back, how can you influence and persuade them to give what you want.
Psychological research repeatedly show that people generally make up their minds on whether to help you or not based on whether they like you or not. It is human nature. What can you do about it? You need to make a good impression on others to ensure they like you and give you what you want. Research again shows that people give opportunities to the people they like best. In fact, most people actually make up their minds about other people in the first five minutes or less of meeting someone. These are called first impressions or "moments of truth. "
Once they make up their minds, they tend to be very unwilling to change their opinions. You hardly have room for error when making that first impression on a new acquaintance. Therefore, whether you are applying for a job, going for an interview, attending a meeting with your boss or peers, or serving a customer, you need to prepare yourself mentally and rehearse(排练) how you will manage the first few minutes of your interaction. This includes doing your homework to gather information and researching all possible issues so you will know how to deal with them if the other party (另一方)raise them unexpectedly.
It is amazing how poorly some people can come across at the beginning. The worst thing is that they do not even seem to realize it. Having good qualifications and an excellent work performance does not mean that candidates can succeed in making a good first impression.
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A．Persuading people to like you.
B．Making a good first impression.
C．People making the key difference.
D．Useful tips for a job interview.
【2】What would people do when they like you according to Paragraph 2?
A．They would pay much attention to your good qualifications.
B．They would prefer to ignore your weaknesses.
C．They would change their opinions frequently.
D．They would be willing to offer chances.
【3】Which of the following tips might help in an interview according to the author?
A．Know as much as possible about the situation.
B．Ask the interviewers for homework to do.
C．Show your friendliness and confidence.
D．Do something unexpected to impress interviewers.
【4】What will probably be talked about in the next part of the passage?
A．Questions that might be asked by the interviewers.
B．How to win over people who don't like you at first.
C．Some practical advice to help making a good first impression.
D．Examples of how good first impressions help people succeed.
22、The term “growth mindset” has become something of a buzzword in our life. You can find it everywhere you look—in the seminars of motivational speakers, in the education course descriptions, and in the mission statements of companies.【1】
One of the biggest misconceptions about growth mindset is that it is the same thing as being open-minded in your beliefs. This is untrue. Being open-minded in your beliefs is often the belief on what true growth mindset is, but this is actually called “false growth mindset” in the research community.【2】What this means is that they have a fixed belief on their intelligence level, which is exactly what a fixed mindset is. They believe that they are growing, when in reality they are not.
Being open-minded to other people’s beliefs and new things is great, but it does not mean that you are actually learning anything. Furthermore, there is no way to ever have a truly complete growth mindset.【3】It is important that you accept this and embrace it, while still desiring to experience growth anyway. This is the only way you can truly foster as m’ of a growth mindset as humanly possible.
【4】Unproductive efforts that are merely done for the reward or outcome are not considered to be growth mindset. True growth mindset has nothing to do with reward or outcome. Rather, it is based entirely on the learning and growing process itself. When you are invested in a growth mindset, you are invested in the process regardless of the outcome.
【5】You cannot simply “have” a growth mindset. You have to want one, and invest in having one. Understanding the truth about growth mindset will enable you to understand exactly how this trait can assist you in life.
A．Mindset is a lot harder than “just do it”.
B．It is virtually impossible, as we are all fixed in some way or another.
C．Another false belief is that growth mindset is about rewarded efforts.
D．A second misconception is that people’s motivation comes from the process.
E．But despite its popularity, some people don’t understand what it actually means.
F．This is essentially people who have an “I already have it, and I always have” attitude.
G．Growth mindset assists people in having greater results from what they set out to accomplish.
23、Plenty of harvests of corn and other major crops rely on a mysterious phenomenon known as hybrid vigor (杂交活力). When highly naturally-born varieties are crossed, their next generations are taller, hardier, and bear more grain, Researchers report that this vigor is somehow influenced by microbes (微生物) in the soil, perhaps through a plant's immune system .
Charles Darwin was one of the first researchers to describe hybrid vigor. In the early 20th century, biologists began to apply this effect to agriculture by creating naturally-born parent plants that produced hybrid seeds. By the 1940s, almost every farmer in the United States was planting hybrid corn, and the harvests multiplied.
Biologists have proposed several theories about the cause of hybrid vigor, but no definitive explanation has emerged.
Maggie Wagner, plant biologist at the University of Kansas, and her colleagues wondered whether microbes might be it involved. Last year, Wagner and her colleagues found an interesting clue in a field study. They discovered that the leaves and roots of hybrid corn had microbial communities that are different from those living on naturally-born varieties of corn. “Something about being a hybrid makes a plant interact differently with microbes,” Wagner says. It could be that the naturally-born corn's immune systems react more actively to beneficial microbes, compromising their growth. Alternatively, hybrid plants may be better able to defend against weak pathogens (病原体) in the soil.
Wagner says the finding highlights the need for plant growers to match the hybrid crops to the microbial communities with which they live. The findings help scientists realize the importance of understanding the role of soil microbes in making agriculture more productive and sustainable, “This holds great promise.”
【1】How did people use the effect of hybrid vigor in agriculture?
A．By producing naturally-born parent plants that bore hybrid seeds.
B．By creating naturally-born parent lines that produced hybrid vigor.
C．By providing more microbes communities that could produce more seeds.
D．By looking for hybrid parent plants in the field that produced hybrid seeds.
【2】What can we know from paragraph 4?
A．Hybrid plants react worse to weak pathogens in the soil.
B．Wagner connected hybrid vigor with microbial communities.
C．Being naturally-born makes a plant interact differently with microbes.
D．Hybrid corn and naturally-born corn have similar microbial communities.
【3】What effect would Wagner's finding have?
A．Making farmers know what to grow to resist certain diseases
B．Helping scientist realize the importance of spreading soil microbes.
C．Showing the significance of associating soil microbes with specific crops.
D．Highlighting the need for plant growers to find more microbial communities.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A．Hybrid corn: a double-edged sword
B．How can farmers grow hybrid crops?
C．Hybrid vigor: a mysterious phenomenon
D．What role do soil microbes play in the harvests of corn?
24、In the countries of South and Southeast Asia, the elephant has been an important part of the culture, economy and religion for centuries．And nowhere more so than in Thailand．Unlike its African cousin, the Asian elephant is easily domesticated（驯化）．The rare so-called white elephants have actually lent the power of royalty to its rulers，and until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background．To the early Western visitors, the country's romantic name was“ Land of the White Elephant"．
Today, however, the story is very different．Out of work and out of land, the Thai elephant struggles for survival in a nation that no longer needs it．The elephant has found itself more or less deserted by previous owners who have moved on to a different economic world and a society in the western part．And while the elephant's problems began many years ago, now it has a very low national advantage．
How does the national symbol turn into ignored animals? It is a story of worse environment and the changing lives of the Thais themselves．According to Richard Lair, Thailand's expert on the Asian elephant and author of the report Gone Astray, at the turn of the last century, there may well have been as many as 100,000 national elephants in the country．
In the north of Thailand alone, it was estimated（估计）that more than 20,000 elephants were employed in transport, 1,000 of them alone on the road between the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Saen．
This was at a time when 90 percent of Thailand was still forest---a habitat that not only supported the animals but also made them necessary to carry goods and people．Nothing ploughs through thick forest better than lots of sure-footed elephants．
By 1950 the elephant population had dropped, but still to the number of 13, 397．However, today there are probably no more than 3,800, with another l,350 wandering free in the national parks．But now, Thailand's forest covers only 20 percent of the land．This deforestation（采伐森林）is the central point of the elephant's difficult situation, for it has effectively put the animals out of work．This century, as the road network grew, the elephant's role as a beast of burden decreased．
【1】What can we know about African elephants from the passage?
A. It is of little value to domesticate them．
B. It is hard to domesticate them．
C. They are living a better life than Asian elephants
D. Their fate is quite similar to that of Asian elephants．
【2】Thailand was once called "Land of the White Elephant" because ________．
A. white elephant was a national symbol until the 1920s
B. white elephant is rarely seen and thus very special
C. white elephant has helped kings to gain the ruling power
D. this name was so romantic that it was popular among visitors
【3】Why is the Thai elephant "out of work", according to the author?
A. Because there are too many elephants but too few jobs．
B. Because the elephants can't do labor work any longer．
C. Because the government pays little attention to the problem．
D. Because the elephants are no longer useful to their owners．
【4】The passage is most probably from ________．
A. a travel guide B. a history book
C. a popular science magazine D. an official announcement
