(8 分)A few years ago, Charles Barkley got into a lot of trouble for making the observation that sports figures didn't need to be role models.Thousands of fans and professional journalists were cross at this attack on the fundamental principle that the person who jumps.highest must aim highest.and the person who handles the running back must also be able to deal with life*s problems with grace as well.The problem is not that we look to these people for perfection when they take off their uniforms.Ifs that we expect anyone to be our representatives for perfection.That's stupid and it makes the rest of us down here lazy.I get the importance of having heroes, the people who inspire us to cultivate the best potential within us and nurture our better angels.I personally have many heroes, from my mother, Lucy, to my favorite law professor, Howard.But these are personal contacts, people who have - actually touched my hand and my heart, and who occupy a pedestal( 基座)built of my own experiences and aspirations.To look at an athlete or an actress with high salary and demand that he or she match our dreams is not only a waste of time, but it's dangerous.The danger comes in how this type of hero worship dehumanizes both the object of affection and the person who blindly adores.That was Barkley's point, not that we should give public figures a pass for being faulty but that we shouldn't abandon our own moral compasses and look to them for true north.Recently on a television program I participated in, the discussion turned to Kathleen Kane.Someone suggested that the fact that the first female attorney genera (首席检察官)in Pennsylvania was really messing things up could have unfortunate consequences for women seeking elected office.! offered the opinion that Kane was unquestionably criticized and that it was not hatred towards woman but incompetence at the root of the attacks.After the show aired, I had people emailing to tell me that I was either a traito ( 叛 徒)for publicly attacking a fellow female when we need to stand together behind this nrole model”, or a fool for not going a step further to say that this incompetent lawyer had made it harder for all women to move to the next level.How depressing!Why should the inferior performance of one woman lead to such diverse but passionate views in people? The answer is obvious： Kane has stopped being an attorney general but has instead become The First Female Attorney General.She can*t just make a mistake and pay the normal consequences.If we stopped trying to live our lives through the accomplishments of public figures, many of whom look and sound like us, we'd learn how to recognize the heroic character of those we might actually know, and the heroic potential within ourselves.Or, perhaps, the honesty to accept our ordinary humanity.(1) Many people were angry with Charles Barkley mainly because . A.he broke fundamental principles in lifeB.he was not good enough to be a role modelC.he doubted the perfection of some sports figuresD.he thought sports figures could have weaknesses(2) According to Barkley, why is it dangerous to take public figures as heroes? A.Because we may let go of our own moral standards.B.Because an athlete or actress cannot match our dreams.C.Because we blindly admire public figures for their faults.D.Because we shouldn't waste time imitating public figures.(3) From the passage we can infer that Kathleen Kane was .A.unfairly criticized due to being femaleB.the first female attorney general in the USC.less qualified than the public had expectedD.a role model for women seeking elected office(4) Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A.Be Our Representatives for PerfectionB.Exploration of Our Own Heroic PotentialC.Our Unrealistic Expectation of Public FiguresD.Our Conventional Views of Female PoliticianSection CDirections： Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.20. (8 分)A.There is enough evidence to support the motivational benefits that result from carefully matching people to jobs.B.For those whose jobs are secure, pay increases are rarely possible.C.High achievers are motivated by jobs that are high in independence and responsibility.D.Unfortunately, they are the ones the organization can least afford to lose - those with the highest skills and experience.E.The answer to that depends on perceptions of goal acceptance and the organization's culture.F.Managers must be sure, therefore, that employees feel confident that their efforts can lead to performance goals.Motivating Employees under Unfavourable ConditionsIt is a great deal easier to motivate employees in a growing organization than a declining one.When organizations are expanding, promotional opportunities, pay rises，and the excitement of being associated with a dynamic organization create feelings of optimism.Whenan organization is shrinking, the best a nd mobile workers are likely to leave voluntarily.(1) .The minor employees remain because their job options are limited.Morale ( 士 气 )also suffers during decline.People fear they may be the next to be made unnecessary.Productivity often Suffers, as employees spend their time sharing rumors and providing one another with moral support rather than focusing on their jobs.(2) .Pay cuts, unheard of during times of growth, may even be imposed.The challenge to management is how to motivate employees under such special conditions.(3) .For example, if the job is running a small business or an autonomous unit within a larger business, high achievers should be sought.High achievers will do best when the job provides moderately challenging goats and where there is independence and feedback.The literature on goal - setting theory suggests that managers should ensure that all employees have specific goals and receive comments on how well they are doing in those goals.Regardless of whether goals are achievable or well within managements perceptions of the employee's ability, if employees see them as unachievable they will reduce their effort. (4) .Since employees have different needs, managers should use their knowledge of each employee to personalize the rewards over which they have control.Some of the more obvious rewards that managers allocate include pay, promotions and the opportunity to participate in goal - setting and decision - making.IV、SummaryWritingDirections：ReadthefolIowingpassage.Summarizethemainideaandthemainpoint ( s ) ofthepassageinnomorethan60words.Useyourownwordsasfaraspossible.21. (10 分)Can Birdsong Make You Happier?If you are able to step outside and hear many types of birds, you might also have a greater feeling of well - being.Two studies show that hearing diverse birdsongs may help increase our happiness.One study was done by the researchers at California Polytechnic State University.The team studied the effects of birdsong on people walking through a park in the U.S.state of Colorado.Danielle Ferraro, who led the Cal Poly study, says that there could be an evolutionary reason why we like birdsong.The idea is that when we hear birdsong it could signal safety to us.There could be many other reasons too Ferraro states that in some areas around the world birdsong can also signal the arrival of spring and nice weather. Bird diversity, she adds, can also mean a healthy environment.Similarly, scientists in Germany examined for the first time whether a diverse nature also increases human well - being across Europe.The researchers looked at the European Quality of Life Survey to study the connection between the different kinds of birds in their surroundings and life satisfaction.They looked at more than 26, 000 adults from 26 European countries. “Europeans are particularly satisfied with their lives if their surroundings have a high species diversity, " explains the study's lead author, Joel Methorst, a researcher at the Goethe University in Frankfurt.He and his team found that the happiest Europeans are those who can experience many different kinds of birds in their daily life, or who live in near -natural surroundings that are home to many species.So, if birdsong is good for our mental health, how can we increase the different types of birdsongs we hear? Scientists also mentioned, "We would recommend planting native trees and flowers because we have a lot of pretty decorative plants in our cities.And they might look nice to us, but birds can't necessarily use them.So, we think it important to have species that are native to the area to increase bird diversity.*'V.TranslationDirections： Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.22.
