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 his shoulders. That
means that if things go
wrong in a
group project, he's the one who must accept the
consequences and work out what
mistakes
are made. The group leader won't always have the
power to control everything group
members do, but he should be ready to
admit any mistakes the group has made as a result
of his
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 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.
（

passage is mainly about____________.
A. choosing a good leader
for a group. B. assessing the

阅读理解
No
poem
should ever
be
discussed
or
until
it
has
been read
aloud by
someone,
teacher or student. Better still,
perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once
at the beginning
of the discussion and
once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the
last thing one hears of it.
All discussions of poetry are, in fact,
preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading
of the
poem is, finally, the most
telling 'interpretation' of it, suggesting tone,
rhythm, and meaning all at
once.
Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own
voice, on records or on film, is obviously a
special reward. But even those aids to
teaching cannot replace the student and teacher
reading it
or, best of all, reciting
it.
I have come to
think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem
aloud is much more important
than
have students love poetry. Poetry is
others
place in the teaching
of language and literature more central than it
presently occupies.
I am
not saying that every English teacher must teach
poetry. Those who don't like it should
not be forced to put that dislike on
anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must
keep in
mind a few things about its
essential nature, about its sound as well as its
sense, and they must
make room in the
classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking
about it.
（

）
The
passage indicates that analyzing a poem is .
A. not essential at all
B. a preparation for appreciating it
C. an approach to understanding it
D. optional in class sometimes
（
2
）
The
recitation of a poem by the teacher or a student
in the classroom .
A. is the best way to understand it
B. easily arouses some discussion among the
students
C. helps the
teacher to analyze it D. can not take
the place of the poet reading it
（
3
）
Which of
the following statements may the author agree
with?
A. The
most important teaching goal is to have students
read and recite every poem they learn.
B. Poetry is the foundation of all
languages and literature courses.
C. The teaching of poetry should have
been much more stressed.
D.
Every English teacher is supposed to convey their
love of poetry to their students.

When
my
sister
Mertie
told
me
she
had
put
out
tomato
plants
last
summer,
I
was
quite
impressed.
Since she was a garden-beginner, Mertie researched
exactly how far apart to space her tomato
plants; what kind of fertilizer to use;
how to keep away the bugs, etc. Once they were
planted,
she took care of them daily,
anxiously awaiting the juicy tomatoes to appear.
But, day after day,
her plants were
tomato-less while all of her neighbors who had
also put out tomato plants were
already
enjoying the fruit of their labor.
Frustrated,
Mertie
gave
in
and
went
to
the
market
to
search
fresh
tomatoes.
While
paying,
Mertie told the
farmer her troubles. The farmer paused to think
for a moment and then asked,
95-day growing period
whereas regular tomato plants produce fruit in as
few as 70 d
ays…you just
have
to wait a little longer for the Big
Boys.
With that new
knowledge, Mertie went home with excitement,
knowing they would be worth
the
wait.
Thinking about my
sister's gardening experience, I had to smile. She
just didn't know that Big
Boy tomatoes
took longer--neither did I
—
but once she discovered that information, she was
no
longer
discouraged
and
upset
about
the
lack
of
tomatoes
on
her
plants.
Instead,
she
was
encouraged and excited to see them a
few weeks later.
It
makes me wonder how many of us have
realize that they are of the
process. Instead of waiting with
excitement, we give up on our dreams and figure we
must have
done
something
wrong
to
stop
them
from
coming
to
pass.
Frustrated,
we
see
other
people's
dreams coming true,
and we wonder why ours haven't yet been
achieved.
（
1
）
What is not mentioned in the
passage when growing tomato plants?
A. Using suitable
fertilizer.
B. Keeping them well apart.
C. Watering them regularly.
D. Controlling pests on them.
（
2
）
Why
did Mertie's tomato plants fail to produce at the
expected time?
A. Because
they
were
destroyed
by
her
neighbors.
B. Because
she
grew
the
wrong
kind
of
tomatoes.
C.
Because
she
didn't
manage
the
garden
well.
D. Because
they
required
more
time
to
produce.
（
3
）
What does the author
compare tomatoes to in the text?
A. Goals.
B. Experiences. C. Time.
D. Imagination.
（
4
）
What does the text intend
to show us?
A.
It's better late than never.
B. A bad beginning makes a bad
ending.
C. Success sometimes
needs a little patience.

。根据第二段中的
“Mertie
researched
exactly
how
far

space
her
tomato plants; what kind
of fertilizer to use; how to keep away the bugs, e
tc.”
可知
Mertie
给她
种的西红柿分苗、施肥和控制害虫。没有提到浇水，故选
C
。
（

）考查细节理解。根据第五段中的
“Big
Boy
and
Better
Boy
tomatoes

a
95
-day
growing
period where
as regular tomato plants

this line has impressed
various people at various times. It's now
70
years
after
it
appeared
in
the
film,
but
it
still
seems
to
hold
its
power
especially
during
an
economic downturn.
The phrase comes from a film
adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's successful 1936
novel
Gone
With the
Wind
. It's set in the American South
and tells the story of a strong heroine, Scarlett
O'
Hara, who struggles to find love
during the Civil War and, afterwards, of her
strength in surviving
the war and its
hardships.
Love
story
In a moment of
despair, Scarlett finally realizes that her love
belongs to Rhett Butler. For many
audiences, it is the theme of love and
struggle that has kept the movie alive. While the
burning of
Atlanta might seem
irrelevant (
不相关的
) to today's
viewers, the timeless theme of love keeps its
ability to touch people.
With a promise to her lover still
in her mind, Scarlett chooses to stay in the midst
of war and
take care of Melanie. But
her heart is broken when Rhett just walks away,
leaving the woman that
he once loved
with cruel words,
毫不在乎
)
Great epic (
史诗
)
The film shows the love-hate
relationship of these characters, but also
American history, the
fall of the
Confederacy and the following period of
Reconstruction in the South. The background
made this film a true classic in the
epic genre.
When the
film opened after World War II, French viewers
loved it, and it reminded them of
their
fight
against
the
Nazis.
In
1940
Shanghai,
during
the
War
of
Resistance
Against
Japanese
Aggression
(
侵略
), people stood in line
for hours to watch this film, and saw the same
suffering
they were having as well as
the hope and possibility of building a new
homeland from the ruins.
Each
nationality could identify with the story and see
it as a victory. In fact,
Gone With the
Wind
never lost its charm
and ability to inspire and amaze.
Biggest of all time
The film had five directors,
15-plus screenwriters, and an unexpected $$3.9
million budget. The
film brought in
$$200 million, which makes it the biggest selling
film of all times in North America.
It
also won 10 Academy awards in 1940.

A bunch of strangers
showed up at the gym in the early morning of the
last Sunday of April. A
few
athletes
were
already
stretching
their
arms,
but
most
of
us
could
barely
focus.
As
I
was
burning
off
last
night's
wrong
decision
—
a
big
meal,
I
spotted
a
poster
about
a
gym's
21-day
workout challenge,
and I immediately signed up. I always wanted to
train for a marathon, so I
considered
this as my warm-up. Besides, I needed to stop
being lazy and this was my chance to
make a change.
It was easy to promise on paper, but three weeks
of recommended exercise routines and diet
restrictions
wouldn't
be
easy.
I
stuck
to working
out
30
minutes
a
day,
and
I
didn't
disturb
my
normal routine. Instead,
I had to be faced with the tough work of being
more creative in my spare
time, thus
breaking some bad habits.
Overcoming weaknesses with willpower was my goal
for the next part of the journey. But the
difficult
part
about
making
a
challenge
is
realizing
that
and
are
two
very
different things. Just
like a career, you have to physically work for it
rather than just wait for it to
happen.
But
that's
hard.
Throughout
the
21
days,
I
often
told
myself
that
the
challenge
was
meaningless
and
tried
to
sabotage
myself
from
exercising.
However,
finally
I
overcame
that
negative thought and kept working
out.
At the end of the
challenge, I learned something even more
important: Feeling the results is
better than seeing them. I had fewer
headaches and more energy, and was simply happier.
I even
felt
a
little
smarter
as
I
researched
which
foods
were
better
for
my
body,
and
learned
how
to
make
healthier meals. I felt a sense of accomplishment,
too, because even though I wanted to
give up dozens of times, I didn't. I
felt my waist got smaller and my arms got
stronger, and I no
longer felt guilty
after having a piece of cake or a
drink.

The Mokoko
tribe
(
部落
)
lived
on
the
wrong
side
of
the
island
of
two
faces.
The
two
sides,
separated by a great cliff
(
悬崖
), were like night and
day. The good side was watered by rivers and
was filled with trees and abundant
food, while on the wrong side there was hardly any
water or
plants, and wild beasts
crowded together. The Mokoko had the misfortune of
having always lived
there, with no way
to cross to the other side. Their life was hard
and they lived in permanent
terror of
the beasts.
Along the
edge of the cliff separating the two sides, a
skinny but strong tree grew, with which
they could build two poles. There was
no doubt that the tribe would choose the great
chief and
doctor to use the poles. But
when the two of them were given their chance to
make the jump,
they didn't dare to.
They thought that the pole could break or it would
not be long enough. They
