Later she was transferred to manage a team in Sweden. She was excited about her new role but soonrealized 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, and 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 was still up for discussion.What Gabriela was experiencing was a culture shock in expectations. Dutch psychologist Geert Hofstede uses the concept of npower distance'1 to describe how power is distributed （分布）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 had 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 underlying reasons behind each othefs behaviour, 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 have with her Swedish team at the beginning?A.Her authority was challenged by her Swedish staff.B.They were always refusing to follow her directions.C.Her Swedish staff didn't understand her instructions.D.They looked down upon her because she was a female.25 .What is encouraged in the working culture in Sweden?

A.Two heads are better than one.C.Birds of a feather flock together.C3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food?Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender.Scientists say that it'll be quite easy: You simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food "inks" into the printer. You can also modify the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient. For example, alternative ingredients（原料）such as proteins from algae, beetroot leaves and insects could be converted into tasty products.Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphagia （a swallowing disorder）. They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble swallowing them.However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw nfood ink1'. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food: Is it really possible to get the nutrients we need from food-based inks and gels（凝胶）？What's more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.28 .Which of the following best describes 3D food printing?A.Quick and popular.B.Easy and efficient.C.Nutritious and tasty.D.Soft and convenient.29 .Why do some think that 3D food printing would be a disaster?A.Traditional food would disappear.B.Many people could lose their jobs.C.It would affect the people's health.D.We could all eat the same food.30 .What can we infer from the passage?A.3D food printing will replace traditional cooking.B.3D printing food can treat dysphagia.C.3D food printing would hurt our tradition of food culture.D.3D food printing would be a failure.31 . Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.3D Food "Printing” : Coming to the Kitchen.B.Can 3D Printing Create Everything?C.3D Printing Food Will Be in Fashion!D.The Disadvantage of 3D Food Printing.DAs the effects of climate change become more disastrous, well-known research institutions and government agencies are focusing new money and attention on an idea: artificially cooling the planet, in the hopes of buying humanity more time to cut greenhouse gas emissions.That strategy, called solar climate intervention （干预）or solar geoengineering, involves reflecting more of the sun's energy back into space - abruptly reducing global temperatures in a way that imitates the effects of ash clouds flowing out from the volcanic eruptions. The idea has been considered as a dangerous and fancied solution, one that would encourage people to keep burning fossil fuels while exposing the planet to unexpected and potentially threatening side effects, producing more destructive hurricanes, wildfires floods and other disasters.But as global warming continues, producing more destructive hurricanes, wildfires floods and other disasters, some researchers and policy experts say that concerns about geoengineering should be outweighed by the imperative to better understand it, in case the consequence of climate change become so terrible that the world cant wait for better solutions.One way to cool the earth is by injecting aerosols （气溶胶）into the upper layer of the atmosphere where those particles reflect sunlight away from the earth. That process works, according to Douglas MacMartin, a researcher at Cornell University.“We know with 100% certainty that we can cool the planet/9 he said in an interview. Whats still unclear, he added, is what happens next. Temperature, MacMartin said, is an indicator for a lot of climate effects. nWhat does it do to the strength of hurricanes?n he asked, "What does it do to agriculture production? What does it do to the risk of forest fires?HAnother institution funded by the National Science Foundation will analyze hundreds of simulations of aerosol injection, testing the effects on weather extremes around the world. One goal of the research is to look for a sweet spot: the amount of artificial cooling that can reduce extreme weather events without causing broader changes in regional rainfall patterns or similar impacts. 32.Why do researchers and government agencies work on cooling the earth?A .To prevent natural disasters.B.To win more time to reduce gas emissions.C.To imitate volcanic eruptions.D.To encourage more people to bur fossil fuels.33 .What are researchers worried about in terms of global warming?A.More volcanoes will throw out.B.More solar energy will go into space.C.More disasters will endanger the future of the world.D.People will keep burning fossil fuels to keep warm.34 .What can be inferred from Douglas* words in an interview?A.He thinks more research remains to be done.B.He is optimistic about the effect of cooling the earth.C.He is concerned about the reduction in agriculture production.D.He disapproves of the practice of solar climate intervention.35 .What does the underlined words "sweet spot'1 in the last paragraph mean?A.The rainfall pattern of a region.B.The modest drop in temperature.C.The number of extreme weather events.D.The injection amount of aerosol.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。Do Actions Speak Louder than Words?Our society is fast paced. We are all rushing from one place to the next, blowing our horn at slow drivers who may be singing songs in the car with their children or pointing out some interesting sights. We don't have time for that silliness today. But we try to say to ourselves that we will make time for fun tomorrow. It is time to take a few deep breaths and think about our actions and our words. 36Have you ever really thought about the saying n Actions speak louder than words11? Think about it now. If you say one thing and act in an opposite way, will the words be ignored and just the actions remembered? I don't think so. 37 It is also equally important to use words to show appreciation, love, approval and happiness and then follow those words with a hug, pat on the back or smile.38 What about that saying? True? Yes! Words carry a lot of weight and will beremembered for years especially when they are written dow
