21、In the last decade, Google has spent millions of dollars on measuring nearly every aspect of its employees’ lives — from what characters the best managers share to how often particular people eat together. Google was determined to find out how to form “the perfect team”.

The company’s managers worked hard on finding the perfect group of people necessary to form an excellent team. They believed that building good teams meant combining the best people. But it wasn’t that simple.

In 2012 Google ran a project known as Project Aristotle. It took several years and included interviews with hundreds of employees. The project led to the same conclusion that good managers have always known: In the best teams, members are able to understand other people’s feelings, and most importantly, listen to one another.

Matt, a manager at Google, was eager to put Project Aristotle’s findings into practice. He took his team outside the office to talk about his cancer diagnosis (诊断). Although his colleagues were silent in the beginning, they then began sharing their own personal stories.

At the heart of Matt’s plan and Google’s findings is the idea of “psychological safety”. Google now describes psychological safety as the most important factor (因素) in building a successful team.

Google concluded that in the best team, all members should contribute to the conversation equally, and respect one another’s emotions. It has less to do with who is in the team, and more with how the members communicate with one another.

【1】Why did Google spend so much money on learning about its employees?

A．To make the best team.

B．To improve their lives.

C．To enlarge the company.

D．To find the best managers.

【2】What is the most important quality of the best-team members?

A．They are creative.

B．They are eager to learn.

C．They are good listeners.

D．They are ready to help others.

【3】How did Matt get his colleagues sharing their own personal stories?

A．By rewarding the first for doing the talking.

B．By offering suggestions on fighting cancer.

C．By making them feel psychologically safe.

D．By promising to keep their stories secret.

【4】What is the story intended to do?

A．To introduce the development of Google.

B．To figure out the key to a successful team.

C．To show how to work together with others.

D．To prove the importance of communication.

22、If you have to attend a party or other social events where a lot of people will be present, do you feel confident that you will make a good impression on others? Or do you feel shy? In any case, you should increase your confidence at social events.

Whenever you are meeting new people at any social event, you should wear proper clothes. Before you attend the event, try to find out how other  people will be dressing. If everyone else is wearing business clothes, you should, too. If the event is informal, you should wear informal clothes so that you fit in.

If you are going to meet people from a certain business or profession, try looking through a few professional magazines or checking on the Internet ahead of time to get some conversation ideas which are related to their fields of interest. This can prevent you getting tongue-tied at the event.

When you are at the event, don’t worry about whether or not other people you are talking with like you. Instead, try your best to find reasons to like them.

When you are making conversation with people, be sure to keep good eye contact, and make your facial expression soft. Nod to show you’re listening. Let your face and body relax so that you can make natural gestures.

After the event is over, take a bit of time to think of your social performance and the conversation you had with people. Tell yourself exactly what you did very well at the event. For example, perhaps you made a big effort to really listen to the people you were talking with,or you may have asked several people some good questions that really got them talking. By doing so, your conversation confidence will gradually improve.

【1】What should you find out before attending a social event?

A. how other people will be dressing.

23、What are some of your favourite memories of the University?

Here’s a small selection of some memories from the Class of 1969.

Phyllis Jo Baunach

“...I cannot forget the endless hours studying, researching, and learning in the middle of the musty books in the stacks. We did everything by hand! But the joys of ideas coming to life and understanding thorny concepts are priceless.

Additionally, I cannot forget the joyful hours of Co-Kast rehearsals for student-written-and

-directed plays, and the thrill of audiences’ responses to our efforts. Nor will I ever forget taking voice lessons at the Eastman School of Music. This course gave me confidence to try new musical approaches and to think on my feet.”

Paul Boehm

“... many sweet and lasting memories — five feet of deep snow, getting stranded on the Thruway, music at Hylie Morris’s Alley, and, of course, I met my wife of 44 years, Ellen Blazer Boehm from the Class of 1972, when she was a freshman and I was a senior. As a five-year chemical engineering major, I had one elective to spare, and Ellen said, “How about oceanography?” So, I enrolled in oceanography with Dr. Taro Takahashi(the famous climate scientist), which awakened my environmental justice, and changed my professional direction.”

Farel Vella McClure

“...I truly loved my four undergraduate years at the University of Rochester. In fact, I loved it so much that I stayed an extra year to get a master’s degree! I was very fortunate to have been totally immersed in student life on campus. My memories include campaigning and winning a seat on the student government during my freshman year. Other memories include the Susan B. Anthony banquet, and sleeping in the comfy chairs in the library. I was also privileged to be selected as a student representative on the design team for the new Wilson Commons. I. M.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I was preparing lunch in the kitchen while my 2 - year - old son, Adam, was playing by himself at the front door. Suddenly, I heard him shouting, “Look, Mama! Doggie!” I put away what I was doing and stuck my head out of the door. Brandy, our next - door neighbor's 11 -year-old dog, was there again. I quickly ran out, shouting at her: “Go away!”

Brandy's owner, an old woman, had died about a month before. Her family had emptied her house and put up a “For Sale” sign in the front yard, but they had left old Brandy behind. Nowhere to go, for weeks, she'd been wandering around the neighborhood.

It wasn't that I disliked dogs or anything like that. I just didn't think about them very much. I had never kept a dog as a pet and had never thought to get one.

Brandy ran away and I stayed outside with Adam. Then the phone was ringing. I went inside to get the call. When I came back, Adam was gone. I searched the yard, front and back, then the basketball court and public pool. No trace of him. I was so nervous that I ran back home and called the police, then my husband.

We searched the neighborhood thoroughly. Suddenly I heard a dog barking in the distance. “It's coming from the woods,” one of my neighbors said. We followed the barking to a wooded cliff（悬崖）. There we found my son, and he was just inches away from the edges of the cliff, fast asleep. Brandy was beside him, leaning against him to keep him away from the edge. When I picked Adam up, Brandy sank down on the ground, breathing quickly. She must have been holding Adam there for hours!

注意：

1.续写的词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I thanked the police and brought Adam and Brandy back to our house.
