21、阅读理解
Anyone can try to lead a group, but not every individual is cut out for leadership. The better leaders possess a few qualities that can mean the difference between the success and failure of the group. These are the qualities the leader of higher rank will look for when choosing a leader for a group, or when evaluating the performance of a leader. They're also the qualities team members want in a group leader, and appreciate when they find them.
Take Responsibility
Group leaders might share tasks around a group as necessary, but eventually a group leader needs to be able to accept that responsibility lies on her shoulders. That means that if things go wrong in a group project, she's the one who must accept the consequences and work out what mistakes were made. The group leader won't always have the power to control everything group members do, but she should be ready to admit any mistakes the group has made as a result of her leadership.
Concern for Members
The group leader has a commitment to the task or project at hand, but perhaps more importantly, he has a real concern for each and every person who is part of his group. This means getting to know the strengths, weaknesses and goals of team members, as well as making time to build the group through collective activities. The group leader should make sure that everyone is included, even if an individual is new to a group.
Good Listener
The group leader needs to be able to listen to the suggestions, complaints (抱怨) and ideas of group members. Not only will this allow complaints to be addressed and potentially suitable ideas to be put into practice, but a leader who listens will also encourage group members to share their concerns and thoughts, creating an atmosphere of free speech and productivity.
【1】The passage is mainly about____________.
A. choosing a good leader for a group.
B. assessing the performance of a leader.
C. qualities of a good group leader.
D. team members’ appreciation of a leader.
【2】A good leader should always be able to_______.
A. tell when things go wrong in a group project.
B. control everything group members do.
C. make group members admit their mistakes.
D. recognize any mistakes as his own.
【3】According to“Concerns for members”, which of the following is a good quality of a leader?
A. fair B. reliable C. determined D. generous
【4】Which of the following is not the benefit of being a good listener?
A. Offer a chance for group members to express themselves freely.
B. Allow the leader to put all his ideas into practice easily.
C. Make it possible to deal with group members’ complaints.
D. Make group members productive by sharing their thoughts.
22、Round and Round They Go
Space is becoming more crowded. On December 3, a Falcon 9 rocket made by Space X thundered into the sky. On board were 64 small satellites, more than any American company had launched before in one go. They have a variety of uses, from space-based- radar to the monitoring of radio-frequency- emissions.
These objects are part of the latest breed of low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellites. This launch is just taste of what is planned. Space X and One Web, a communications firm, plan to launch satellites in their thousands, not hundreds. The pair are set to double the total number of satellites in orbit by 2027.
That promises to change things dramatically on Earth. LEO satellites can bring internet connectivity to places where it is still unavailable or unaffordable. This will also be a lasting source of new demand for the space economy. Morgan Stanley, a bank, projects that the space industry will grow from $350 billion in 2016 to more than $1. I trillion by 2040. New internet satellites will account for a half this increase.
For that to happen, however, three worries must be overcome. Debris(碎片)is the most familiar concern. As long ago as 1978, Donald Kessler, a scientist at NASA, proposed situation in which, when enough satellites were packed into low-Earth orbits, any collision could cause a chain reaction which would eventually destroy all space craft in its orbital plane(平面). The syndrome which bears Mr. Kessler's name weighs heavily on the minds of executives at the new satellite firms. Debris could cause entire tracts(广阔的一片) of space to be unusable for decades.
Solutions exist. One is to grab malfunction satellites and pull them down into Earth's atmosphere. Another is to monitor space more intensively for debris; a US Air Force program me called Space Fence is due to start in 2019. But technology is only part of the answer. Rules are needed to govern the safe disposal(清除) of old satellites from low-Earth orbit. The United States' Federal Communications Commission is revising its regulations with this in mind. Other countries should follow suit.
Cyber-security is a second, long-standing worry. Hackers could take control of a satellite and seal intellectual property, redirect data flows or cause a collision. The satellite industry has been slow to respond to such concerns. But as more of the world's population comes to rely on the infrastructure of space for access to the internet, the need for action intensifies.
The third issue follows from the first two. If a simple mistake or a cyber-attack can cause a chain reaction which wipes out hundreds of billions of dollars of investment, who is liable? Underwriters(保险商) are studying the plans of firms that wish to operate large numbers of satellites. But there is a long way to go before the risks are well understood, let alone priced.
As space becomes more commercialized mind-bending prospects open up: packages moved across the planet in minutes by rocket rather than by plane, equipment sent to other small planets, passengers launched into orbit and beyond. All that and more may come, one day. But such activities would raise the same questions as LEO satellites do. They must be answered before the space economy can truly develop.
【1】What can we learn about LEO satellites from the passage?
A．They are supposed to limit the space economy.
B．They are expected to increase in large numbers.
C．They are designed to move beyond the Earth as far as possible.
D．They are mainly intended to bring internet connectivity to remote areas.
【2】To deal with debris in space, the author suggests________.
A．depending entirely on the modern technology
B．monitoring the movement of spaceships carefully
C．strengthening rules to remove old satellites safely
D．destroying all the satellites with problems instantly
【3】What does the underlined word “intensify” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Measure.
B．Increase.
C．Spread.
D．Repeat.
【4】Which of the following can be classified as the third worry?
A．Lack of satellite regulations.
B．Loss of intellectual property.
C．Crisis of confidence in the field.
D．Slow response of satellite industry.
【5】What is the author's attitude toward the launch of LEO satellites?
A．It should be further confirmed for its ownership.
B．It should be continued because of its advantages.
C．It should be done carefully to avoid potential risks.
D．It should be stopped in face of the space economy.
23、My students often tell me they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork. My reply is often brief –You have as much time as the president. I usually carry on a bit about there being 24 hours per day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.
Once in graduate school, I tried to justify myself to one of my professors by saying that I was working. His answer to me was, “_________What’s important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to reflect on the “hard worker” dodge(伎俩), and I have come to some conclusions – all relevant to the issue of how much time we have.
If you look at the matter analytically, you can identify two parts of the problem. There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the issue of “work” during that time, which can vary in intensity. But, as my professor suggested, it’s not diligence but the quality of the product that is important.
That led me to a new idea, the quality of work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone’s office – Don’t work harder but work smarter! There’s a lot of sense in that idea.
If you can’t get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of work. That means thinking of ways of getting more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “learning habits”.
Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off across the board in all your studies.

24、Whether you want to be a leader, coach or entrepreneur—knowing how to give advice will help you. Here are the best ways to give advice.
Tell a story.
【1】. Storytelling is how you make your advice human, relatable and real. Every great speech or piece of advice comes with a story. The story is what people remember and that’s how they’ll remember your advice.
Have a good structure.
Just like a good speech, high-quality advice has a solid structure, which makes your advice easier to follow and more likely to be remembered. Be logical with your advice and structure it in a way that makes sense. 【2】. Or you can think about the timeline in relation to your advice. What events happened first or what steps do you begin with?
Use your own experience.
Many people tell stories but rarely include their own experience. Your experience is the best advice you can give. No one has exactly the same story or experience as you, so that’s what makes your advice truly unique. All of us have experiences worth sharing. 【3】.
Inject emotion.
The best advice contains your own emotion. Link your advice to emotion. It’s another practical strategy to get people to take action. We all remember when someone got emotional while giving a speech or when we felt the same emotion as the person giving us the advice. 【4】. We’ve all felt sadness, laughter or else in our lives and put these into your advice if you want to influence your audience to make a real and rapid change.
Giving advice is a privilege and it should never be taken for granted. 【5】. Don’t forget that.
A．One tip is to keep your story long
B．Start with your most important point
C．We all have special equipment that can help others
D．Emotion is what can make your advice feel universal
E．The sole purpose of giving advice is to help someone
F．Your personal experiences are more valuable than you think
G．Dry information and statistics don’t inspire people to make a change or listen to you
