26、Picture a typical MBA lecture theatre twenty years ago. In it the majority of students will have conformed to (符合)the standard model of the time: male, middle class and Western. Walk into a class today, however, and you'll get a completely different impression. For a start, you will now see plenty more women-the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, for example, boasts that 40% of its new enrolment is female, you will also see a wide range of ethnic groups and nationals of practically every country.
It might be tempting, therefore, to think that the old barriers have been broken down and equal opportunity achieved. But, increasingly, this apparent diversity(多样化) is becoming a mask for a new type of conformity. Behind the differences in sex, skin tones and mother tongues, there are common attitudes, expectations and ambitions which risk creating a set clones among the business leaders of the future.
Diversity, it seems, has not helped to deal with basic weaknesses in business leadership. So, what can be done to create more effective managers of the commercial world? According to Valerie Gauthier, associate dean at HEC Paris, the key lies in the process by which MBA programs recruit(招募) their students. At the moment candidates are selected on a fairly narrow set of standards such as previous academic and career performance, and analytical and problem solving abilities. This is then coupled to a school's mixture of what a diverse class should look like, with the result that passport, ethnic origin and sex can all become influencing factors. But schools rarely dig down to find out what really makes an applicant succeed, to create a class which also contains diversity of attitude and approach-arguably the only diversity that, in a business context, really matters.
Professor Gauthier believes schools should not just be selecting candidates from traditional sectors such as banking, consultancy and industry. They should also be seeking individuals who have backgrounds in areas such as political science, the creative arts, history or philosophy, which will allow them to put business decisions into a wider context.
Indeed, there does seem to be a demand for the more rounded leaders such diversity might create. A study by Mannaz, a leadership development company, suggests that, while the bully-boy chief executive of old may not have been removed completely, there is a definite shift in emphasis towards less tough styles of management-at least in America and Europe. Perhaps most significant, according to Mannaz, is the increasing interest large companies have in more collaborative management models, such as those popular in Scandinavia, which seek to combine the hard and soft aspects of leadership and encourage delegated responsibility.
【1】What characterizes the business school student population of today?
A．Greater diversity
B．Intellectual maturity.
C．Exceptional diligence.
D．Higher ambition.
【2】What is the author's concern about current business school education?
A．It will arouse students' unrealistic expectation.
B．It will produce business leaders of a uniform style.
C．It focuses on theory rather than on practical skills.
D．It stresses competition rather than cooperation.
【3】What aspect of diversity does Valerie Gauthier think is most important?
A．Age and educational background.
B．Social and professional experience.
C．Attitude and approach to business.
D．Ethnic origin and gender.
【4】What applicants does the author think MBA programs should consider recruiting?
A．Applicants with prior experience in business companies.
B．Applicants with sound knowledge in math and statistics.
C．Applicants from outside the traditional sectors.
D．Applicants from less developed regions and areas.
【5】The underlined word in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to________
A．effective

27、There lived in South Carolina a young woman named Eliza Lucas. Her father was governor of one of the islands of the West Indies. Miss Lucas often got seeds from her father, and then she planted them in South Carolina.
Once, her father sent her some seeds of the indigo (靛蓝) plant. She planted some of them in March, but a frost (霜冻) came and killed all her plants. However, she decided to plant some more seeds in April. These grew very well until a cutworm found them and ate her plants. Once more Miss Lucas planted some of the seeds. This time the plants grew very well. She wrote to her father about it. He sent her a man who knew how to get the indigo out of the plant.
However, the man tried not to show Miss Lucas how to make the indigo. He did not want the people in South Carolina to learn how to make it. He was afraid his own people would not get so much money for their indigo if other people made it as well. So he destroyed the indigo on purpose. But Miss Lucas watched him closely. She worked out how the indigo could be made. Some of her father’s land in South Carolina was now planted with the indigo plant.
Then Miss Lucas got married, and became Mrs. Pinckney. Her father gave her all the indigo growing on his land in South Carolina. It was all saved for seeds. Mrs Pinckney gave some of the seeds to her friends while her husband sowed others. They all grew and were made into the blue dye(染料) that we call indigo. In a few years, South Carolina was producing more than a million pounds of indigo every year. All the people were grateful to her.

29、Set goals for the future
When someone asks me what my goals are for the coming year, I don’t usually know how to reply. Of course I, as most people do, want to see an improvement in my grades. This year, however, I’m hoping for something different.
Through the course of my school life, I’ve gradually developed a new understanding of the word “prioritization (优先次序)”. The first thing I wish to get in Senior 1 is the ability to manage my time better. I’ll surely become busier with the coming semester, and proper organization is important. From school clubs to academic competitions, everything should be set up in a way that doesn’t influence my health, which leads me to my second goal.
My mother has always told me to put my health first, so in the future, I hope to be both physically and mentally (精神上) healthy. A person can’t study without having the energy to do so. In order to stay energetic, they must put their health first, no matter how busy they are, or how much work they have to complete.
And finally, I hope that I won’t be discouraged by my failures and never give up on my dreams. I hope that I’ll have the courage to try new activities and clubs. I believe my final goal can apply to every student around the world. We should all respect one another’s likes and dislikes, and focus on each other’s strengths, not our weaknesses. Everyone should strive to take part in all of life’s opportunities.
Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance (平衡), you must keep moving.” In my case, it’s the other way around. In order to keep moving, I must keep my balance – the balance between studies and activities, efficiency and procrastination (拖延症), academics and health, passions and dislikes. The new journey is going to be a hard one, but if I establish these goals, I believe I will make it through to the end.

D．make different kinds of friends
【3】The author wrote this article mainly to ________.
A．show what she likes about high school life
B．stress the importance of health to students
C．show how to balance our studies and activities
D．share her goals for the coming high school year

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Most children are taught the virtue of honesty from fairy tales and stories. The famous story of Pinocchio, who begins life as a puppet, teaches the importance of telling the truth. Every time Pinocchio lies, his nose grows longer and longer. Another story about the boy who "cried wolf" describes how lying led to his losing all of his sheep as well as the trust of his fellow villagers. These types of stories show children that "honesty is the best policy." Still, lies are told all the time and are part of many people's everyday social life. Then why do so many people lie?
While everyone makes a mistake, some people do not have the courage to admit their mistakes because they fear blame. For example, students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework. They might say that they left the work at home when, in fact, they did not do the work at all. These students do not want to seem irresponsible, so they make up an excuse-a lie-to save face.
Parents, particularly those with small children, may teach their children to use a type of "protective" lie in certain situations. What should children do if a stranger calls while the parents are out? Many parents leach their children to explain that mom and dad are too busy to come to the phone at that time. In this situation, a lie can prevent harm.
Many times people lie to protect the feelings of other people, and there's nothing wrong with that. A good friend shows up with a bad new haircut, you're more likely to say, "It's very cool! It suits you." You might tell a cook you loved the dinner even if you could hardly eat it, or tell a friend you loved the shirt you got as a gift even though you knew you would never wear it.
