21、Texas rancher(牧场主) Charles Goodnight had a problem. He needed skilled cowboys to drive his herd of two thousand longhorn cattle to New Mexico to be sold. He couldn't offer high wages. He couldn't promise easy jobs or even nice weather. But he decided that decent, warm meals might entice men to work for him.

In the mid-to-late 1800s, cattle drives sometimes took three to four months, and once the drive began, there were no stores for hundreds of miles. All the food and supplies needed for the trip were carried on two-wheeled carts. Usually, the cowboy's food was boring and unappetizing.

Goodnight went to work and solved the problem. His invention of a mobile kitchen, the chuck wagon(四轮马车), got its name from the cowboy word for food, "chuck." Goodnight took an old army wagon and rebuilt it with Osage orange, a wood so tough that Indians used it to make bows. The wagon's iron axles were stronger than the wooden ones found on standard wagons, and the wider wheels lasted longer. Besides food, coffee sugar and eating utensils, it held everything from first-aid supplies to needles and thread. It even contained cooking stove.

The first chuck wagon was an instant success. Eighteen cowhands joined Goodnight and his partner, Oliver Loving, to drive the cattle to New Mexico for a handsome profit. The route they took—later called the Goodnight-Loving Trail—became one of the most heavily used cattle trails in the Southwest.

The chuck wagon soon was the backbone of all successful cattle drives. Other ranchers created their own moving kitchens, and eventually the Studebaker Company produced chuck wagons that sold for $75 to $100 apiece, about $1,000 today.

The chuck wagon was much more than a mobile kitchen. Sometimes called "the trail drive's mother ship," it was like a magnet that drew the men together. The wagon and the ground around it were the cowboy's home. There he enjoyed hot meals, a warm fire, and good companionship. He could also get a bandage, a haircut, or horse liniment for his sore muscles. And there, under the stars and around the chuck wagon, he crawled into his bedroll each night.

【1】Who does the underlined word “entice” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．Inform

B．Direct

C．Enable

D．Attract

【2】Why were cattle drives in the mid-to-late 1800s so tough ?

D．There was no place to store food and necessary supplies.

【3】What do we know about Goodnight’s chuck wagon from the text?

A．It was stronger than the ordinary wagons.

B．It was mainly used to provide first aid.

C．It could be changed into a sleeping area.

D．It was sold to other ranchers by Goodnight.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．The Cowboys’ Problem

B．Goodnight-Loving Trail

C．The Cowboys’ Home on Wheels

D．Exciting Cattle Drives in the West

22、   Innovation is key to business survival, and companies put substantial resources into inspiring employees to develop new ideas but not necessarily succeed. And there are those who don’t have a budget, or much space, but who innovate successfully.

For Robert B. Cialdini, Professor of Psychology at Arizona State University, one reason that companies don’t succeed as often as they should is that innovation starts with recruitment. Research shows that the fit between an employee’s values and a company’s values makes a difference to what contribution they make and whether, two years after they join, they’re still at the company.

One of the most famous photographs in the story of rock’n’roll emphasizes Cialdini’s views.The 1956 picture of singers Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis jamming at a piano in Sun Studios in Memphis tells a hidden story. Sun’s million-dollar quartet (四重唱) could have been a quintet (五重唱). Missing from the picture is Roy Orbison, a greater natural singer. Sam Phillips, who owned Sun, wanted to revolutionize popular music. All of them except Orbison believed in it. Orbison wasn’t inspired by the goal, and only ever achieved one hit with the Sun label.

Cialdini also believes that the “follow-the-leader syndrome” is dangerous, not least because it encourages bosses to go it alone. “It’s been scientifically proven that three people will be better than one at solving problems, even if that one person is the smartest person in the field. To prove his point, Cialdini cites an interview with molecular   biologist James Watson. Watson, together with Francis Crick, discovered the structure of DNA. “When asked how they had cracked the code ahead of other highly rival investigators, he said something that surprised me. He said he and Crick had succeeded because they were aware that they weren’t the most intelligent of the scientists pursuing the answer. The smartest scientist was called Rosalind Franklin who, Watson said, was so intelligent that she rarely sought advice.

Authority doesn’t have to inhibit (抑制) innovation but it often does. Many theorist believe the ideal boss should lead from behind, taking pride in collective accomplishment and giving credit where it is due. Cialdini says,” Leaders should encourage everyone to contribute and assure all concerned that every recommendation is important to making the right decision and will be given full attention, A manager who wants to create a truly innovative culture can make their job a lot easier by recognizing these psychological realities.

【1】The example of the “million-dollar quartet” underlines the writer’s point about______________.

A.recognizing talent B.working as a team

C.having a shared objective D.being an effective leader

【2】James Watson suggests that he and Francis Crick won the race to discover the DNA code because they______________

A.were conscious of their own limitations

B.brought complementary skills to their partnership

C.were determined to outperform their brighter rivals

D.encouraged each other to realize their joint ambition

【3】In the last paragraph, the writer suggests that it is important for employees to______________.

A.be aware of their company’s goals

B.have respect for their co-workers’ achievements

C.understand why certain management decisions are made

D.feel that their contributions are valued

【4】Which of the following is probably the best title for this passage?

A.The key to becoming an innovative company.

B.The psychology of innovation.

C.The environment giving rise to Innovation.

D.How to be an innovative company leader.

23、In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.

The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.

It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.

Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.

People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Jonses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The old man turned away sadly as his eyes were filled with tears. “Poor Mr. Dev…,”thought Indra sympathetically. Another day went past and there was still no sign of his family. Indra wondered how children could be so careless as to lose a parent like this.

Indra recalled the day the old man was admitted to her ward. He was thin and weak. He could not produce his identity card but he claimed he remembered the number. The hospital tried to contact hig family using the phone number he offered but it was in vain. Mr. Dev was treated for a lung infection and was now recovering. Soon, it would be time for him to be discharged (出院). Where would he go then? He did not look strong enough to live independentiy. Indra thtew down the file she was holding as anger rose within her.

“What's the matter?” asked Poh, Indra's colleague. “I'm just upset about old Mr. Dev,” Indra replied. Poh nodded with understanding. As a more experienced nurse, she had seen many similar cases and learned to control her feelings.

“Don’t worry too much. The hospital has contacted the civil - administration department (民政部门) and offered the information about the missing man, Mr. Dev will be placed in an old folks'home if no one comes to pick him up.” Poh said, patting Indra's arm comfortingly. Indra sighed. “I know. Its just that he eagerly expects his family to visit him. He cleans and tidies himself every morning and sits up to wait expectantly. You can see the eagerness in his eyes whenever the door opens. At the end offte day he goes to sleep with tears in his eyes. It makes me cry inside.”

Poh shook her head sadly. “He needs a miracle (奇迹).”

A few days later, the doctor confirmed that Mr. Dev was fit enough to be discharged. Indra was informed that an administrator had been waiting downstairs, ready to take Mr. Dev to an old folks'home.With a heavy heart, Indra helped Mr. Dev to get ready.

注意:

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

He was still a bit weak, so Indra rolled a wheelchair to bring him downstairs.
