He was often the first to raise his hand for a project, appeared to have infinite capacity to get high-quality work done, and offered to assist his peers and direct reports. Oliver seemed to be all-in; optimistic, energetic, supportive, and someone who constituted to everyone.However, the more Oliver participated, the more others around him were slighted. Instead of sparking creatively in others, his ideas outshone everyone elses. He consumed time speaking in meetings, exhausting the oxygen level in the room. Oliver felt pumped up by how many of his ideas had been deployed but frustrated by others lack of sufficient effort.While the CEO appreciated Olivers yield, she recognized he had to change his approach to keep the rest of the team productive. In response, Oliver worked out a plan to help address his cooperation challenges using techniques many other executives had deployed.When we over-participate, we believe that we're being helpful. However, “helpfulness” is defined by the recipient, not the giver. Instead of improving his relationships with colleagues, Oliver robbed them of fulfillment by furnishing masses of ideas. They felt discouraged, interrupted, and excluded. To fix the issue, Oliver learned the value of asking two specific questions before offering his own ideas: “What have you thought of?” and “What would be most helpful for you at this point?” Surveying others to understand whats helpful illuminates better avenues for our contribution: directly through our ideas, through coaching colleagues to create their own, or by building on what someone else has generated.4. What can we learn about Oliver?A. He lacks creativity.B. He favours competition.C. He works enthusiastically.D. He behaves irresponsibly.5. What is a result of Olivers over-participation?A. The team generated more diverse ideas.B. Olivers colleagues became less productive.C. Group meetings were more time-consuming.D. Olivers teammates were inspired to work harder.6. What technique did Oliver employ to fix the issue?A. Hearing others voices.B. Providing specific ideas.C. Strengthening his leadership.D. Building strong relationships.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. When Leaders Fail to Keep the Team ProductiveB. When Contributing Gets in the Way of CooperatingC. How a Great Team Welcomes Ideas in a DiscussionD. How Active Participation Gives Rise to a Better TeamCBoth misinformation, which includes honest mistakes, and disinformation, which involves an intention to mislead, have had a growing impact on teenage students over the past 20 years. One tool that schools can use to deal with this problem is called media literacy education. The idea is to teach teenage students how to evaluate and think critically about the messages they receive. Yet there is profound disagreement about what to teach.Some approaches teach students to distinguish the quality of the information in part by learning how responsible journalism works. Yet some scholars argue that these methods overstate journalism and do little to cultivate critical thinking skills. Other approaches teach students methods for evaluating the credibility of news and information sources, in part by determining the incentive of those sources. They teach students to ask: What encouraged them to create it and why? But even if these approaches teach students specific skills well, some experts argue that determining credibility of the news is just the first step. Once students figure out if its true or false, what is the other assessment and the other analysis they need to do?Worse still, some approaches to media literacy education not only dont work but might actually backfire by increasing students skepticism about the way the media work. Students may begin to read all kinds of immoral motives into everything. It is good to educate students to challenge their assumptions, but its very easy for students to go from healthy critical thinking to unhealthy skepticism and the idea that everyone is lying all the time.To avoid these potential problems, broad approaches that help students develop mindsets in which they become comfortable with uncertainty are in need. According to educational psychologist William Perry of Harvard University, students go through various stages of learning. First, children are black-and-white thinkersthey think there are right answers and wrong answers. Then they develop into relativists, realizing that knowledge can be contextual. This stage is the one where people can come to believe there is no truth. With media literacy education, the aim is to get students to the next levelthat place where they can start to see and appreciate the fact that the world is messy, and thats okay. They have these fundamental approaches to gathering knowledge that they can accept, but they still value uncertainty.Schools still have a long way to go before they get there, though. Many more studies will be needed for researchers to reach a comprehensive understanding of what works and what doesnt over the long term. “Education scholars need to take an ambitious step forward,” says Howard Schneider, director of the Center for News Literacy at Stony Brook University.8. As for media literacy education what is the authors major concern?A. How to achieve its goal.B. How to measure its progress.C. How to avoid its side effects.D. How to promote its importance.9. What does the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Importance.B. Variety.C. Motivation.D. Benefit.10. The author mentions stages of learning in Paragraph 4 mainly to_.A. compare different types of thinkingB. evaluate students mind developmentC. explain a theory of educational psychologyD. stress the need to raise students thinking levels11. Which would be the best title for this passage?A. Media Literacy Education: Much Still RemainsB. Media Literacy Education: Schools Are to BlameC. Media Literacy Education: A Way to Identify False InformationD. Media Literacy Education: A Tool for Testing Critical ThinkingDTheres a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble in the World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too thats why it made Nov.16 “International Day for Tolerance”.But first of all, what is tolerance? French philosopher Voltaire (1694-1778) can give us some help. According to him, tolerance is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each others folly that is the first law of nature. Nobodys perfect; when were tempted to criticize another person, we should perhaps remember our own imperfections first. Very often, people dont realize that theyre intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UNs campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men dont put themselves in the shoes of women.Its worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which were speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isnt necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that theres something wrong with them.But it seems wrong that people should agree to “tolerate” people with black skin, for example. And should women think they have received the respect they are due when men agree to “tolerate” them?Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. Thats the reason why we should be tolerant.Its a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness. Bob Marley understood this. In the song mentioned above, he advised: “All you got to do: give a little.” Or, as this older piece of wisdom says: “Write your love on a rock so it stays for eternity; write your hate in the sand so the waves will wash it away.”12. According to Voltaire tolerance is _.A. being willing to express your love to othersB. trying to overcome your imperfectionsC. giving a hand to vulnerable groupsD. accepting each others weaknesses13. In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”?A. Humans are advised to treat others better.B. Humans learned to find faults in others.C. Humans need to give something to others.D. Humans will change their attitudes to others.14. The underlined word ”this“ in the last paragraph refers to _.A. giving things to othersB. forgiving othersC. different attitudes toward love and hateD. the fact that humans are imperfect15. Whats the text mainly about?A. The origin of the International Day of Tolerance.B. The meaning and importance of tolerance.C. The philosophy behind Bob Marleys song.D. Effective ways to show tolerance.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可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。I am not sure how many books I have reread,but perhaps it is fewer than the average person. _16_ The source material, though, is of course not.I used to take the same approach to books as I did to travel: don't go to the same place twice.Life is too short._17_Then I realized that the fact th
