一、单项填空
1.(2014山东潍坊联考)—Wang Ming,will you take part in the coming National English proficiency contest?
— We should catch the precious chance. A.Out of the question! B.That’s for sure. C.For what? 答案:B
解析:考查情景交际。答语的下一句提到“我们应该抓住这次宝贵的机会”,由此可知答话人“肯定”要参加。故B项符合语境。A项表示“不可能”;C项表示“那又怎么样”;D项表示“为什么费事”。
2.(2014湖北八市高三调考) Many people see the use of “dama” as that the more advanced a country becomes,the more influential its language is. A.evidence C.reference 答案:A
解析:考查名词词义辨析。句意:很多人认为“大妈”一词的使用证明一个国家越发达,这个国家的语言影响力也会越大。evidence“证据,证明”;balance“平衡”;reference“参考”;preference“喜欢;偏好”。根据句意可知选A项。
3.We should give the disabled encouragement to live as we do. A.as a rich and full life B.as rich and full a life C.so a rich and full life D.so rich and full a life 答案:B
解析:考查as...as的用法。句意:我们应该给那些残疾人以鼓励让他们过上和我们一样富有和丰富的生活。当so,as,how等后面跟的名词是可数名词时,把形容词放在冠词之前,如so cold a day,故选B项。
4.(2014河北保定高三模拟)It is acknowledged that shortest distance between persons is sincere smile. A.a;the C.a;不填 答案:B
解析:考查冠词用法。句意:人们普遍认为人与人之间最短的距离是真诚的微笑。第一空考查形容词最高级前加the;第二空考查抽象名词具体化,a smile“一次微笑”。 5.—Do you think a war will break out between the two countries?

解析:考查副词和形容词。句意:一个好队员未必是个好伙伴。把同伴放在这个类别里面的人最有可能把他们的关系描述成有点不愉快的。第一空是not necessarily“未必”;第二空用likely,因为这是Sb. is likely to do...“某人有可能做……”。
7.The number of those missing in the New Zealand’s quake was reported more than 200,including those recovered bodies that have yet to be . A.judged C.identified 答案:C
解析:judge“鉴别”;recognize“辨认出”;identify“辨明身份”;confirm“证实”,此处意指对死者身份的辨别,故用identified。
8.—I wonder why the thinnest plastic bags,though ,are still in use here. —Well,it’s no easy job to solve this problem effectively. A.banning C.to ban 答案:B

B.turned off D.put off B.banned D.having banned B.recognized D.confirmed

Should you be friends with your employees?I’m the type of person who likes to be friends with everyone.As I developed my company,I got to a point where I realized being friends with employees was hurting our business and our life.Here are the issues:
You’ll naturally become closer friends with some people,but others will think you play favorites.When you promote people who are your friends,how will the rest of the company view that promotion and how will that influence your team’s culture and the people who are promoted?Even if the promotion is well deserved,other employees are unlikely to view it that way.You’ll be considered as a manager who plays favorites.And,realistically,it’s probably hard not to at least subconsciously (潜意识地) favor your friends.
Your friends treat you differently compared to your employees.You don’t want your employees to necessarily treat you or company rules as casually as your friends would.
Your employees might find it easier not to be friends with you.Let’s say you have an employee who works hard and doesn’t have enough time for his or her family and friends.Do they want you as a friend?Probably not.It was easy for me to be friends with everyone when we had 25 employees.But it is much more difficult when we had over 150 employees.
Friends are equals.You’ll make decisions that determine who gets specific tasks,compensation and other things that are very important to your employees’ future.That doesn’t make you equals,and it creates a lot of problems for your friendship.
Friends talk about work with each other.The last thing you want to do is to be involved in office gossip.If you’re friends with an employee and that employee complains about work,what do you do with that information?If you do nothing,you’re basically agreeing with what he or she says.However,they probably don’t want someone who will force them to deal with the problem.
