2008 年阅读理解真题

I knew a man who was asked to be the new dean (院长) 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?”

16、the new dean thought that the most important thing for him to do was to ___

A gain a sense of vision

B set up a primary goal

C win the trust of the faculty

A、was not well paid for their work

B didn’t understand the new dean’s ideas at first

C had a conflict with the president of the university

D didn’t want to work with the administrative assistant

19、the faculty would ask the new dean to get out because they_____

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.

21、According to the author , young people today don’t

A、like to communicate using speech

B、like to communicate with people

C、know how to communicate with people

D、know how to ask questions in communication

22、According to paragraph 3, compared with meetings , email are

A、more 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

24、the author believes that if the phone had been invented after the computer, people

would

A be eager to learn how to use the phone
