Gabriela worked for a multinational company as a successful project manager in Brazil. Later she was transferred to manage a team in Sweden. She was excited about her new role but soon realized that managing her new team would be a challenge.
Despite their friendliness, Gabriela didn’t feel respected as a leader. Her new staff would question her proposals openly in meetings. When she gave them instructions on how to carry out a task, they would often go about it in their own way without checking with her. When she announced her decisions on the project, they would continue giving their opinions as if it were still up for discussion.
What Gabriela was experiencing was a cultural shock in expectations. Dutch psychologist Geert Hofstede uses the concept of “power distance” to describe how power is distributed in different cultures. In her previous work environment, Gabriela was used to a high power distance culture where power is respected. In such a culture, leaders make the big decisions and are not often challenged. Her Swedish team, however, were used to working in a low power distance culture where employees often work together with their bosses to find solutions and make decisions. Here, leaders act as coaches who encourage independent thought and expect to be challenged.
When Gabriela became aware of the cultural differences between her and her team, she took the initiative (主动权) to have an open conversation with them about their feelings about her leadership.
Pleased to be asked for their thoughts, Gabriela’s team openly expressed that they were not used to being told what to do. They enjoyed having more room for initiative and creative freedom. When she told her team exactly what she needed them to do, they felt that she didn’t trust them to do their job well.
With a better understanding of the reasons behind each other’s behavior，Gabriela was able to make adjustments to her management style. Finally she effectively motivated her team to achieve their goals.
24. What problem did Gabriela face with her Swedish team at the beginning
A. Her Swedish staff didn’t understand her instructions.
B. Her authority was challenged by her Swedish staff.
C. They were always refusing to follow her directions.
D. They looked down upon her because she was a female.
25. What is encouraged in the working culture in Sweden
A. Professional spirit and risk-taking behavior.
B. Independent thinking and friendly atmosphere.
C. Active participation and creative thinking.
D. Competitive spirit and mild character.
26. Which of the following can best describe Gabriela
A. Kind but unreasonable. B. Strict but trustworthy.
C. Flexible and communicative. D. Stubborn and aggressive.
27. What lesson can we learn from Gabriela’s story
A. Birds of a feather flock together. B. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
C. Two heads are better than one. D. When in Rome, do as Romans do.
C
It would not be an overstatement to say that salt is one of the greatest discoveries in the history of mankind. Just imagine how tasteless our food would be if salt had not been discovered. Apart from adding flavor to our food, it is also an essential ingredient for the health of both man and animals, provided it is taken in the right quantities. Salt is also used by the food processing and meat packing industries as a seasoning or preservative ingredient.
Salt has always been helpful in the building of communities and societies, as man normally built his settlements around the sources of salt. At one point of time, salt was also used as a currency. Today, there are many countries around the world that are working hard to extract(提炼)salt so that we can enjoy our food to the fullest. Some of these are producing enough salt to satisfy the requirement of the entire world, while others are producing just enough to support their own people.
According to the British Geological Survey, in 2014, China was the top salt producer in the world. The United States of America occupied the second position and India finished a distant third. Other countries that made it among the top ten salt producing nations’ list were Canada, Australia, Germany, Mexico, Chile, France and the Netherlands.
Countries that produced more than 1 million tonnes of salt in 2014 included Peru, Bangladesh, Thailand, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Romania, Egypt, Poland, and the United Kingdom, to name a few. Ranked at the bottom of the list were the African nations of Mauritania and Djibouti.
So, the next time you take your meal and add a pinch of salt to make it more delicious, do share a thought for the numerous salt workers around the world due to whom our food tastes so perfect.
28.What do we know from the first paragraph
A. Man will die without salt. B. The more salt, the better food.
C. Salt is an optional ingredient. D. Salt intake should be proper.
29. What does the underlined word “these”in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Countries. B. Settlements. C. Sources. D. Communities.
30. Where did Mexico rank in the world's salt producing nations’ list in 2014
A. Fifth. B. Sixth. C. Seventh. D. Eighth.
31. What is the author's attitude toward those who produce salt
A. Regretful. B. Faithful. C. Doubtful D. Grateful.
D
When Johan Bavman’s son Viggo was born, so was a deeply personal photograph project: a look at fathers using Sweden’s parental-leave policy—to stay home with their children.
Paid maternal leave（女性产假) around childbirth is common throughout the world: It’s federal policy in 34 or the 35 member nations, such countries as England, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada, etc. of the OECD(all but the United States). About two-thirds of those nations also fund at least brief parental leaves for fathers—a benefit first extended by Sweden, in 1974.
Sweden’s program has allowed parents to split 480 days of subsidized（补贴的）leave to care for children and earn bonuses according to how evenly they split the leave. But despite those encouragements, only about 14 percent of Sweden’s fathers “took paternal leave and shared the days equally with their partner,” Bavman says.
He joined the ranks of those dads in 2012 at Viggo’s birth— “I wanted to be at home by myself with him, to get to know his needs” —and is also using leave to stay home with Manfred, born in 2016. In his photo project（now a book）, Bavman shows fathers in Sweden overseeing child and home care. “It’s gone unrecognized that this is really hard, full-time work” he says, and “something that women have always been doing.”
Like most new mothers, Caroline Ihlstrom looked forward to cuddling and feeding her new-borns. But premature（早产的） twins Parisa and Leia were unable to nurse. When Bavman arrived to take photos shortly after the twins’ birth, their father, Samed Kohigoltapeh, had fed them formula（配方奶）and was warming them against his skin. A construction engineer, Kohigoltapeh took joint parental leave with Ihlstrom for the babies’ first four months and then soloed with them for six more months.
So far Bavman has taken photos of 45 fathers on leave. He is happy to offer them as role models “so men can see the benefits of being on leave.” But he’s not satisfied with the nickname some Swedes supply: latte-pappor, or “latte dads,” as if the men perform childcare duties between coffee dates. Though he does drink coffee, Bavman says, “I don’t have time to sit.”
Taking long leaves with his children has made him a better parent, Bavman says. He hopes his photography project will inspire more fathers—and more countries—to give the idea a try.
32．What can we learn from paragraph 2
A．Two-thirds of the countries carry out maternal leave.
B．Not many fathers exploit the policy to take care of their kids.
C．Most of the member countries of OECD support paternal leave.
D．The parental leave policy is to split days of subsidized leave to care for children.
33．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word soloed
A．Looked after the babies alone B．sang songs alone
C．joined his wife D．construct a personal project
34．Which of the following is TRUE according to Bavman
A．The longer days the father is on leave than the mother, the more bonus they should receive.
B．The fathers are doing what tough work previously done by mothers.
C．The nickname, representing what life he is living, is appropriate .
D．Most fathers take such leaves because they want to stay away from their jobs.
35．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. The development of parental leave policy B．The photos of 45 fathers
C．Father’s parental leave D．A role model of Swedish fathers
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Unlike the real world, identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace（网络空间）. 36 So even the shiest person can become a chat-room star.
Usually, this "faceless" communication doesn't create problems. Identity doesn't really matter when you're in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the idea makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversations. Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests？
37 They are looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love？That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail miserably.
Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. 38
But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace, because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully craft（精制）their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don't have to worry about what their "faceless" communication is doing for their image. 39
All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. 40 This will lead to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person.
So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of the Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll, "Life in the real world is far richer than anything you'll find on a computer screen. "
A．In a sense, they're not really themselves.
B．Personal appearance doesn't get in the way.
C．But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with.
D．However, online relationships will be damaged by this kind of image.
E．The Internet encourages people to express their ideas in a more free way.
F．With so many unknowns, it's easy to let one's imagination fill in the blanks.
G．Instead a person's thoughts －or at least the thoughts he types－are what really count.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
As Alison Gopnik described in her recent book, there are two kinds of parents in modern America: the Carpenter and the Gardener. The “carpenter" thinks that his or her child can 61 (shape). “The idea is that if you just do the right things, get the right skills and read the right books, you're going to be able to turn your child 62 a particular kind of adult," she said.
The “gardener”, however, is seldom concerned about 63 (control) what the child will become and instead provides a ___64_______ (protect) space to expore. The style is all about “creating a rich, nutritious but also variable, diverse, active ecosystem”. Gopnik, a psychology and philosophy professor at the University of California, Berkeley, said, “Many parents are carpenters, and 65 is really necessary for them to bring up their children.” She spent decades researching children's development and finally 66 (find) that parents often focused too much on what their children would be as adults. The harm is that parents and their children may become 67 (anxiety), tense or unhappy.
“We're so concerned about our children 68 we think have difficulties mastering their own future that we're unwilling to allow them to 69 (free) explore the world," she says. The truth is that the 70 (little) the parents worry about outcomes, the better their children may live in life.

书面表达 参考范文
Dear Tom,
It’s very nice to hear from you. How are you getting on I am glad to know that you become interested in Chinese music recently. Now I’d like to share my feelings and ideas about music with you.
As we all know, music plays an important part in our life and there are all kinds of music in the world such as classical music, pop music, rock music and so on. As far as I am concerned, I am crazy about pop music, because it can make me feel relaxed and cheer me up when I feel depressed or sad. It can help me reduce stress in life and offer relief from busy daily life.
I often enjoy listening to music on CD or on the radio at home. It’s a pity that we are not allowed to listen to music at school. If you can come to China, I’ll accompany you to go to some live concerts.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Best whishes.
Yours,
Li Hua

In this book，a nine-year-old boy called Barry goes to The Parent Agency with a list of 10 reasons why he doesn't like his parents; things like being really strict. He is given a 5-Day Parent Trial Package with 5 different sets of new parents，who each have to give him a 10th birthday party，so that he can decide which parents he wants to live with in future. He spends the next 5 days with the different dream parents and has a party with each of them. However，when he cannot decide which parents he likes best，the story gets very interesting…
I enjoy this book because it is full of imagination and the pictures add to the humor in the book. I think this book will appeal to girls and boys. If your teacher read it aloud，it would make the whole class laugh. I'd like to say it's worthwhile to read for anyone aged 7-11.
