2008 年阅读理解真题
I knew a man who was asked to be the new dean () of the college of business of
a large university. When he first arrived, he studied the situation the college faced and felt
that what it needed most was money. He recognized that he had a unique capacity to
raise money, and he developed a real sense of vision about fund-raising as his primary
function.
This created a problem in the college because past deans had focused mainly on
meeting day-to-day faculty needs. this new dean was never there . He was running
around the country trying to raise money for research .But he was not attending to the
day-to-day things as the previous dean had. The faculty, who were used to working with
the person at the top , had to work through his administrative assistant.
The faculty became so upset with his absence that they sent a delegation to the
president of the univerisity to demand a new dean or a fundamental change in his
leadership style . the president , who knew what the dean was doing, said. “relax, he has
a good administrative assistant. Give him some more time”
Within a short time. The money started pouring in and the faculty began to
recognize the vision . it wasn’t long until every time they saw the dean, they would say
“get out of here!we don’t want to see you. Go out and bring in more funds. Your
administative assistant runs this office better than anyone else”
This man admitted to me later that the mistake he made was not doing enough
team building.enough explaining , enough educating about what he was trying to
accomplish. From him , I learn a powerful lesson. We need to constantly be asking
ourselves, “what is neede out there, and what is my unique strength?”

A gain a sense of vision

Passage2
Is new technology damaging our ability to communicate ? fingers flying,we can blog
(写博克文章), email, and enter chat rooms. But, as we type our millions of words,
something is being lost . As our virtual skills increase, I wonder if our ability to
communicate using speech is on the decline.
Young people send me dozens of emails from schools and universities .They often
attach long lists questions,to which they want detail reponses. Time is short. So my reply
is usually that they can phone me and I will do my best to answer.
They very rarely do , at least partly because their oral and telephone skills are less
developed than their ability to type ,text and email. Yet to adapt an old business saying a
meeting is worth five phone calls and a phone call is worth five emails.
Direct communication can quickly lead to bonding and trust .people are more likely
to reveal what they are thinking when they actually speak to another person. Most are
wary of committing themselves in writing.
The great tragedy , of coures, is that the phone was invented before the computer.if
it had been the other way around, internet forums would now be filled with the
news.”have you heard(type, type, type)? There is this amazing new device (type ,
type).Now you can talk directly with people (type, type, type).without all this typing
Marketing would do the rest and collgees would be rushing to develop new courses in
telephone skills .
But , as it is , we are stuck with the supremacy of the typed word and it is getting in
the way of our ability to look people in the eye and talk . we should reconsider the
technology in which the speed of our fingers is more important than the quality of our
voices.
21According to the author , young people today don’t
Alike to communicate using speech
Blike to communicate with people
Cknow how to communicate with people
Dknow how to ask questions in communication
22According to paragraph 3, compared with meetings , email are
Amore efficient B more interesting C less efficient Dless interesting
23 in paragraph 4, “wary of “ can be replaced by
A good at B happy about C used to D cautious about
24the author believes that if the phone had been invented after the computer, people
would
A be eager to learn how to use the phone
