A
One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path .That’s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.
Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it on he GPS (導(dǎo)航儀). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,” she told the BBC.
Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely’s story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.
The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor singalling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.
It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.
The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.
If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.
41.What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?
A. She was not familiar with the road.
B. It was dark and raining heavily then.
C. The railway workers failed to give the signal.
D. Her GPS device didn’t tell her about the crossing.
42.The phrase “near miss” (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by______.
A. close hit B. heavy loss C. narrow escape D. big mistake
43. Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?
A. Modern technology is what we can’t live without.
B. Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.
C. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.
D. GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely’s accident.
44. In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argument is _______.
A. one-sided B. reasonable C. puzzling D. well-based
45. What is the real concern of the writer of this article?
A. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.
B. The relationship between human and technology.
C. The shortcomings of digital devices we use.
D. The human unawareness of technical problems.

One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path .That’s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.
Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it on he GPS (導(dǎo)航儀). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,” she told the BBC.
Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely’s story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.
The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor singalling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.
It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.
The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.
If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.
41.What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?
A. She was not familiar with the road.
B. It was dark and raining heavily then.
C. The railway workers failed to give the signal.
D. Her GPS device didn’t tell her about the crossing.
42.The phrase “near miss” (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by______.
A. close hit B. heavy loss C. narrow escape D. big mistake
43. Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?
A. Modern technology is what we can’t live without.
B. Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.
C. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.
D. GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely’s accident.

A. one-sided B. reasonable C. puzzling D. well-based
45. What is the real concern of the writer of this article?
A. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.
B. The relationship between human and technology.

In the more and more competitive service industry, it is no longer enough to promise customer satisfaction. Today, customer “delight” is what companies are trying to achieve in order to keep and increase market share.
It is accepted in the marketing industry, and confirmed by a number of researchers, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people; those treated badly tell tales of woe to up to 20 people. Interestingly, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal.
New challenges for customer care have come when people can obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the Internet. For example, many companies now have to invest (投資) a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the “phone rage”---- caused by delays in answering calls, being cut off in mid-conversation or left waiting for long periods.
“Many people do not like talking to machines,” says Dr, Storey, Senior Lecturer in Marketing at City University Business School. “Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with then. The aim is to make the customer feel they know you and that you can trust them – the sort of comfortable feelings people have during face-to-face chats with their local branch manager.”
Recommended ways of creating customer delight include: under-promising and over-delivering (saying that a repair will be carried out within five hours, but getting it done within two) replacing a faulty product immediately; throwing in a gift voucher (購(gòu)物禮券)as an unexpected “thank you” to regular customers; and always returning calls, even when they are complaints.
Aiming for customer delight is all very well, but if services do not reach the high level promised, disappointment or worse will be the result. This can be eased by offering an apology and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for example, “I know how you must feel”), and possible solutions (replacement, compensation or whatever fairness suggests best meets the case).
Airlines face some of the toughest challenges over customer care. Fierce competition has convinced them at that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool, while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather, unclaimed luggage and technical problems.
For British Airways staff, a winning telephone style is considered vital in handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times. They are trained to answer quickly, with their names, job title and a “we are here to help” attitude. The company has invested heavily in information technology to make sure that information is available instantly on screen.
British Airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service.
Customer care is obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as “we do as we please”. On the other hand, the more customers are promised, the greater the risk of disappointment.
50. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _______.
A. complaining customers are hard to satisfy
B. unsatisfied customers receive better service

D. well-treated customers promote business

A. customers often use phones to express their anger
B. people still prefer to buy goods online
C. customer care becomes more demanding
D. customers rely on their phones to obtain services
52. What does the writer recommend to create customer delight?
A. Calling customers regular. B. Gibing a “thank you “note..
C. Delivering a quicker service. D. Promising more gifts.
53. If a manager should show his empathy (Paragraph 6), what would be probably say?
A. “I know how upset you must be.” B. “I appreciate your understanding.”
C. “I’m sorry for the delay.” D. “I know it’s our fault.”
54. Customer delight is important for airlines because ________.
A. their telephone style remains unchanged
B. they are more likely to meet with complaints
C. the services cost them a lot of money
D. the policies can be applied to their staff
55. Which of the following is conveyed in this article?
A. Face-to –face service creates comfortable feelings among customers.
B. Companies that promise more will naturally attract more customers.
C. A company should promise less but do more in a competitive market.
D. Customer delight is more important for air lines then for banks.

I 38 . Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose 39 that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help.

It was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days shall you labor and all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.
Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the kitchen for more string(線). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.
My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s take string to the boys and watch them fly the kites a minute.”
On the way we met Mrs. Patric, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.
There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys’ kites and they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down in the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.
Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of heaven,” I thought confusedly.
It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the housed. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn’t mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed. Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are.”
The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to “go park, see duck.”
“I can’t go!” I said. “I have this and this to do, and when I’m through I’ll be too tired to walk that far.”
My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling. “It’s a wonderful day,” she offered, “really warm, yet there’s a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites?”
I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The locked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “Come on,” I told my little girl. “You’re right, it’s too good a day to miss.”
Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath(余波) of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of --- what dark and horrible things?
“Say!” A smile sipped out from his lips. “Do you remember --- no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t make the impression on you as it did on me.”
I hardly dared speak. “Remember what?”
“I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp (戰(zhàn)俘營(yíng)), when things weren’t too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?”
56. Mrs. Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought________.
A. she was too old to fly kites B. her husband would make fun of her
C. she should have been doing her how D. supposed to the don’t game
57. By “we were all beside ourselves writer means that they all ________.
A. felt confused B. went wild with joy C. looked on D. forgot their fights
58. What did the think after the kite-flying?
A. The boys must have had more fun than the girls.
B. They should have finished their work before playing.
C. Her parents should spend more time with them.
D. All the others must have forgotten that day.
59. Why did the writer finally agree to take her little girl for an outing?

B. She was reminded of the day they flew kites.
C. She had finished her work in the kitchen.

第二節(jié)：下面文章中有5處(第61~65題)需要添加小標(biāo)題。請(qǐng)從以下選項(xiàng)(A、B、C、D、E和F)中選出符合各段意思的小標(biāo)題，并在答題紙相應(yīng)選項(xiàng)的標(biāo)號(hào)涂黑。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)是多余選項(xiàng)。
A. Leadership
B. Conflict Solving
C. Open Communication
D. Respect to All Team Members
E. Measuring Progress against Goals
F. Common Goals with Challenging Target
Team Building Means More Than Throwing a Few People Together
“Teamworking” is found every where within just about every organization. You can’t get away from “teams” that are supposed to be able to create something that is greater that the sum of its parts. Or so the theory goes.
There are five measures that need to be taken before you can get the most out of a team:
61._______
There must be a clear reason for the team to exist. And all the members should realize the value and significance of what they are going to do. What they are hoping to achieve should be something achievable but at the same time tough and inspiring enough to attract the members and keep their motivation alive. What is more, they should also be well prepared for the possible difficulties they may come across in the process.
62.______
Team members must be able to express their opinions freely without fear of being criticized, and they must have the feeling that their suggestions will be taken seriously. This is an important point because the team may need to resolve some complex or thorny issues. For example, it may discuss a sensitive topic. Should they keep their conclusion within the team or share it with other employees? This is an issue in itself that all the members should agree on and frank discussion is required.
63._______
It is easy to think that a junior team member may have less to contribute than more experienced ones. This is not only demoralizing or discouraging, it also makes no sense ---- people that have nothing to contribute. Should not have been selected for the team in the first place. Since they have become members of your team, you need to make sure that each of them has an opportunity to add his or her thoughts to discussions.
64.________
Disagreements are natural and, in fact, debate and discussion should be encouraged. A team made up only of “yes men” can make disastrous decisions that few people honestly agreed with in the first place. Consequently, there should be rules on how lengthy disagreements should be handled. For example, team meetings may not be the most appropriate place for a discussion that involves only two people, so “under-the-table” method may be effective.

Most high-performing teams are well organized, A good organizer should be able to play to individuals’ strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses. It should be someone who can act as a promoter and a constant reminder of what the team needs to achieve. He must, above all, be skilled in sharing responsibility and setting tasks to others, coaching them to achieve tasks, and providing constructive feedback on how the tasks went.
Team building isn’t as simple as just throwing a few people together. It requires much more, but motivating people is most essential. Successful teamworking is not marked by how much progress the team makes toward its goals, but by how confidently each of its members completes his or her assigned tasks with a sense of achievement and pride.

I was playing at my cousin house. Since his family was rich than mine, he had more toys than I did. There was one on particular I’d always wanted. I put into my pocket when he wasn’t looking.

21題，屬于上文提示法，首句中出現(xiàn)ill，此選項(xiàng)應(yīng)是ill的同義表達(dá)，故選D.sickness。
22題，屬于上文提示法，上句出現(xiàn)病情可以manageable，所以作者應(yīng)該是享受那段過(guò)去的美好時(shí)光，故選B.enjoyed。此選項(xiàng)在2009年全國(guó)一卷完形填空部分第41題出現(xiàn)過(guò)，且也為正確選項(xiàng)。
23題，屬于下文解釋法，下文出現(xiàn)發(fā)生改變，結(jié)合首句作者生病，可推出作者表達(dá)的是不幸的情緒，故選C.unfortunately。此選項(xiàng)為高考完形填空中的的高頻選項(xiàng)。
24題，屬于轉(zhuǎn)折對(duì)比法，上文出現(xiàn)yearsago和changed，因此推出此題應(yīng)回歸現(xiàn)實(shí)，故選A.now。此選項(xiàng)在2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第37題出現(xiàn)過(guò)，且也為正確選項(xiàng)。
25題，屬于固定搭配法，addupto總計(jì)，makeupfor彌補(bǔ)，補(bǔ)償，getridof處理，擺脫，takeadvantageof利用，此題應(yīng)選B.makeupfor。此選項(xiàng)考生不應(yīng)陌生，2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第21題D選項(xiàng)曾出現(xiàn)過(guò)此詞，可見(jiàn)背歷年考題中的選項(xiàng)部分的重要性。
26題，屬于邏輯關(guān)系法，此法多用于句子與句子之間，解決連詞的問(wèn)題。此題因?yàn)樽髡呦挛缧枰X(jué)，所以受到限制。故選B.As。
27題，屬于上文解釋法，第三段首句提到作者打算做某事，但由于病情，下午需要睡覺(jué)，所以選擇受限，故選C.choices。
28題，屬于前后照應(yīng)法，上文提到過(guò)幾年之前唱歌的事實(shí)，此處再次出現(xiàn)要去唱歌，故選D.goingback。
29題，屬于中文代入法，全家都是音樂(lè)家，所以走進(jìn)音像店會(huì)被認(rèn)出，故選A.recognized。
30題，屬于AandB法，這是并列結(jié)構(gòu)，要求前后詞性與詞義要相似，幾乎在每年的高考完形中都會(huì)考查這個(gè)知識(shí)點(diǎn)。本題and之前說(shuō)東西很貴，之后理應(yīng)推出沒(méi)有足夠的錢，故選A.money。
31題，屬于反義多一對(duì)，即四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中有一組反義詞，答案多在這組反義詞中出現(xiàn)。此題C和D構(gòu)成反義結(jié)構(gòu)，根據(jù)文章信息，故選D.often。
32題，屬于中文代入法，實(shí)際上一張光盤里的十首歌也只有三/四首可以用，故選A.actually。
33題，屬于上文提示法，上文中作者有提到過(guò)想再次唱歌的這個(gè)想法，故選C.idea。
34題，屬于同義辨析法，此考查點(diǎn)多在四級(jí)考試完形填空部分中出現(xiàn)，在2008年高考英語(yǔ)浙江卷第26題也曾考查過(guò)，當(dāng)年的難度系數(shù)約為0.32。此題中的B.view強(qiáng)調(diào)的是眺望風(fēng)景，C.look強(qiáng)調(diào)看的眼神，D.sight強(qiáng)調(diào)視力，本文店主深深地看了作者，屬于眼神之間的交流，故選C.look。
35題，屬于固定搭配法，店主帶領(lǐng)作者穿過(guò)擁擠的店鋪，從空間穿過(guò)，故選D.through。
36題，屬于感情色彩法，此法多用于解決形容詞或副詞。下文出現(xiàn)treasure，因此可以推出店主對(duì)自己的寶物愛(ài)不釋手，心愛(ài)地觸摸，故選B.lovingly。
37題，屬于固定搭配法，takeyourpick，美國(guó)俚語(yǔ)，隨你挑選的意思，故選A.pick。
38題，屬于語(yǔ)法識(shí)別法，近幾年高考完形填空部分逐步淡化語(yǔ)法點(diǎn)考查，一般只會(huì)涉及一道。C.shouldhavecried,本應(yīng)該做的事情而沒(méi)有做，放在原文中過(guò)于牽強(qiáng)，而本題是作者受到店主的感激，非常感動(dòng)，本可以哭但沒(méi)有哭，故選D.couldhavecried。
39題，屬于尋找重復(fù)法，31題與32題之前曾出現(xiàn)onlythreetofoursongs...canuse，對(duì)應(yīng)...couldsing,故選B.theones。
40題，屬于主旨概況法，即所選選項(xiàng)要與原文中心相一致。本文詳細(xì)描述店主對(duì)作者的幫助，店主的善舉感動(dòng)作者，故選C.kindness。
41.答案D。主人翁對(duì)這件事情發(fā)表的原因，我們因?yàn)橹仃P(guān)注第二段。她完全依靠GPS幫她引路，但是這個(gè)高科技居然把她帶到了火車鐵軌上，害得她險(xiǎn)些送命。根據(jù)第二段最后一個(gè)話得出。C答案，主人翁沒(méi)有提到，B 選項(xiàng)是天氣影響因素，并不是造成此次事件的主要原因。A 很有迷惑性，但是我們仔細(xì)想一下，既然使用GPS，說(shuō)明她本來(lái)就對(duì)路線不熟，才會(huì)借助高科技。
42. 答案C。GPS把她帶到了飛速運(yùn)行的火車線路上，這是一次非常危險(xiǎn)的經(jīng)歷，但是她并沒(méi)有發(fā)生意外，算是死里逃生，near miss， narrow escape表達(dá)的就是這層含義。其實(shí)根據(jù)第一段最后一句the train drag her car almost a kilometer down the railway tracks，火車拖著她的車差點(diǎn)就進(jìn)入鐵軌了，所以是死里逃生啊。
43. 答案B。出現(xiàn)Stevenson觀點(diǎn)就3、5，所以我們要著重把這三段看仔細(xì)了。“We put our faith in digital device, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job.”我們把信仰關(guān)注在數(shù)碼設(shè)備上，但是往往，他們卻不合我們的心意，所以數(shù)碼技術(shù)常常沒(méi)有達(dá)到我們的期望。詞眼“expectation”和“faith”相關(guān)，值得關(guān)注。
44. 答案A。選項(xiàng)四個(gè)褒貶都有，說(shuō)明文章中肯定存在著與他看法相悖的理論。我們看第四段，“while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map makes might have left the…. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention, Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system…… work out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment.”造成此次事故或者其他高科技失靈事件，可能還有其他很多原因，比如主觀人為的，或者是火車信號(hào)系統(tǒng)不好等等， But Stevenson doesn’t say. 所以他的觀點(diǎn)是片面的。
45. 一般性最后一體都會(huì)問(wèn)到主旨大意，作者的觀點(diǎn)等等，要做好這一題，我們要繼續(xù)往后看，6、7兩段點(diǎn)出了文章的主題思想。The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex . 是人與科技之間的游戲是復(fù)雜的，所以文章講的是人類與科技之間的關(guān)系。
46. 答案B。這道題是現(xiàn)學(xué)現(xiàn)賣型，考查的是學(xué)生的查閱資料能力。第二個(gè)三角形順數(shù)第六行講到，“to keep asking some for information: she was pumping me for details of the new project”跟問(wèn)句中“pump me about the case”，跟這句話意思相符，這樣，答案就很好得出了。
47. 答案C。第四個(gè)三角形，講的是Pump的一些固定詞組搭配，第一個(gè)pump sth out 第四行，to produce words or loud music in a way that is repeated, forceful and continuous, 也可從the government keeps pumping out the same old propaganda(政治宣傳)得出。或者我們結(jié)合生活常識(shí)，當(dāng)我們?cè)诳聪矚g的電視劇時(shí)，忽然出現(xiàn)一次又一次的廣告，我們的情緒是不是會(huì)很厭煩呢。所以選擇C
48.答案A。在文中找到pump-priming, the government is awarding small, pump-priming grants to single mothers who are starting their own business”, award是本題的詞眼，與解題有關(guān)。說(shuō)到獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)，當(dāng)然跟錢少不了關(guān)系，所以選擇A
49.答案D。前面的一些題目是圍繞pump, 本段跳躍到punch，所以要毫無(wú)顧忌地跳過(guò)pun，直接尋找有punch的板塊。順數(shù)第三行，the power to be interesting and have a strong effect on people, 以及緊隨其后的例子 I felt the performance /speech/presentation lacked punch.看出，尤其是詞眼“speech”剛好有對(duì)應(yīng)，所以選D
50. 答案D。本題要求我們?cè)诘诙沃姓掖鸢?，也就是說(shuō)四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是出現(xiàn)在此段，在看完第一段內(nèi)容之后，其實(shí)對(duì)于文章整體的主題思想會(huì)有一個(gè)粗略的把握。第二段中出現(xiàn)了兩類人，一類人受到好的服務(wù)會(huì)跟其他12人講，而受到差的服務(wù)的人就會(huì)跟20個(gè)人說(shuō)，所以受到好的服務(wù)的顧客會(huì)提升公司業(yè)績(jī)。
51. 答案C。根據(jù)該詞組的字面意思，手機(jī)的憤怒，很多學(xué)生會(huì)選擇A，但是看后文說(shuō)了很多關(guān)于手機(jī)服務(wù)受阻的情況，引起了顧客很多的抱怨，所以讓商家明白，對(duì)顧客滿意變得越來(lái)越急需。D B 選項(xiàng)是文中直接表達(dá)的意思，他是事件的表面情況，顯然這兒要你挖掘深層次的含義。
52. 我們看到第五段，段首就是recommended ways of creating customer delight include:…。A 答案很有迷惑性，因?yàn)槲谋局谐霈F(xiàn)always returning calls，但是這兒是回電話，而不是主動(dòng)打電話;B
也有出現(xiàn)，但是商家送更多的購(gòu)物券作為“thank you note”的代名詞，也不對(duì);D promising more, 而文中是under-promising，所以選擇C， 就是此段括號(hào)部分的解釋。
53. 答案A。此題相對(duì)比較簡(jiǎn)單，是信息尋找題。馬上過(guò)度到第六段，找到empathy，括號(hào)部分有句話“I know how you must feel”, 我理解你的感受嗎，與選項(xiàng)A “我知道你肯定很不開(kāi)心”相符。
54. 答案B。第七段出現(xiàn)airlines，while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather, unclaimed luggage and technical problems. Potential是解題的詞眼與 likely對(duì)應(yīng)。
55. 答案C。此題選用排除法。A D 選項(xiàng)此篇文章并沒(méi)有提到。BC選項(xiàng)顯然是兩個(gè)截然不同的意思，到底是承諾多做到的少能吸引顧客呢還是答應(yīng)的少卻做得多更能吸引顧客呢，再看文章最后一句話on the other hand, the more customers are promised, the greater the risk of disappointment.。
56. 答案C。細(xì)節(jié)分析題。找到文中出現(xiàn)laughing guilty 的上下文，原本大人們都在熱火朝天地spring clean，Mrs Patrick，“Come on, girls! Let’s take sting to the boys and watch them fly the kites a minute.” On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, Iaughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.大人和小孩一起放風(fēng)箏，把家務(wù)放在一邊，所以感到很罪過(guò)。
57. 答案B。解答此題聯(lián)系后文，parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies,可以看出大人小孩放風(fēng)箏的時(shí)候都很high, 幾近瘋狂。
58. 答案D。如果只看完第六段就做此題的話，很容易誤選D，因?yàn)榇硕沃写笕诵『⑼娴煤墀?，很多學(xué)生很容易先入為主，想當(dāng)然地表達(dá)“父母應(yīng)該多陪孩子”的思想。但是我們看第七段，“The strange thing was, we didn’t mention that day afterward I felt a little embarrassed .Surely none of the of the others had been as excited as I.” 作者認(rèn)為，只有他一個(gè)人還記得當(dāng)初那個(gè)放風(fēng)箏的美好時(shí)刻，而其他人都忘記了，所以選D。
59. 答案B。原本這位母親用各種借口來(lái)推脫孩子想去外面玩的要求，但是當(dāng)母親的母親回憶起當(dāng)日那個(gè)放風(fēng)箏的日子時(shí)，往日美好的場(chǎng)景開(kāi)始充斥這位母親的思緒，所以她欣然答應(yīng)外出。
60. 答案A。第七段作者覺(jué)得只有自己還封存著那個(gè)美好的餓回憶，自己是孤單的，但是這個(gè)從戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)回來(lái)的男孩，卻也是靠著那個(gè)美好的回憶在戰(zhàn)俘營(yíng)中生存了下來(lái)，所以A，作者不是一個(gè)人在珍惜那段記憶。
61 答案F。 一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)的成立必須有共同的目標(biāo)。這樣的目標(biāo)是團(tuán)隊(duì)存在的理由。all the members should realize the value and significance of what they are going to do, 詞句與“goal target”相關(guān)，”common goal, challenging target” “對(duì)應(yīng)something achievable but at the same time tough”。
62.答案C。 團(tuán)隊(duì)成員應(yīng)該可以公開(kāi)自由地表達(dá)觀點(diǎn)。一看到express their opinions freely without fear就能對(duì)應(yīng)open communication, 所以此處答案選擇起來(lái)比較簡(jiǎn)單。
63. 答案D。 每一位成員都有在討論中提出想法的機(jī)會(huì)。應(yīng)尊重每一位被選拔進(jìn)團(tuán)隊(duì)的成員。此題的選擇相對(duì)比較難一些，因?yàn)樗麤](méi)有任何字眼對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng)中總結(jié)的詞匯。但是我們可以看出，一個(gè)隊(duì)里面有些人貢獻(xiàn)很大，有些人卻不是，但并不能埋沒(méi)他們，應(yīng)該為他們提供能奉獻(xiàn)自我的機(jī)會(huì)，也就是要尊重每個(gè)人存在的價(jià)值，所以選擇respect to all team members.。
64.答案B。分歧一定會(huì)出現(xiàn)，可以通過(guò)辯論等方式解決?？吹紻isagreement is natural and, in fact, debate and discussion should be encouraged, 不難看出，隊(duì)友之間可能會(huì)有意見(jiàn)分歧的，這個(gè)時(shí)候辯論和討論不可少，這樣可能會(huì)與62題沖突，但是下文有under-the-table” method may be effective，說(shuō)明這是關(guān)于沖突解決的。
65.答案A。 對(duì)一流團(tuán)隊(duì)的領(lǐng)袖的要求。此題也較簡(jiǎn)單，看到A good organizer就知道講的是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)才能的。
【答案】

【答案】
One possible student version:
June 8, 2011
Mr. Headmaster,
I am Li Yue, a student from Class 1, Senior II. I am writing to draw your attention to some improper behaviour among us students: littering and scribbling. It makes our school dirty and unpleasant, and does hard to the image of our school. I always feel ashamed whenever I see this. It is clearly not appropriate for a student to litter and scribble about. I wonder if the school could place more dustbins around and set up specific rules against such behaviour. At the same time, students should be encouraged to develop good habits and better behave themselves. I believe that, with the joint efforts of both teachers and students, our school will become a more enjoyable place in the near future.
