Many executives have assumed that this tool is beyond their grasp,available only to the charismatic (有魅力的J) and the eloquent. Over the past several decades,though, experimental psychologists have learned which methods reliably lead people to concede,comply, or change. Their research shows that persuasion is governed by several principles that can be taught and applied. The first principle is that people are more likely to follow someone who is similar to them than someone who is not. Wise managers, then, ask peers to help make their cases. Second,people are more willing to cooperate with those who are not only like them but who like them,as well. So it's worth the time to uncover real similarities and offer genuine praise. Third, experiments confirm the intuitive truth that people tend to treat you the way you treat them. It's sound policy to do a favor before seeking one. Fourth, individuals are more likely to keep promises they make voluntarily and clearly. The message for managers here is to get commitments in writing. Fifth, studies show that people really do defer to (服從) experts. So before they attempt to exert influence, executives should take pains to establish their own expertise and not assume that it's self-evident. Finally, people want more of a commodity when it's scarce; it follows, then, that exclusive information is more persuasive than widely available data.

17、People are more likely to cooperate with those who like them. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned

19、There is no need for a manager to find out the merits of his employees. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
20、Experiments have shown that, contrary to our expectation, people tend to treat you the way you treat them. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
21、There are as many wise managers as there are stupid ones. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
22、Exclusive information is more persuasive than widely known data A．Riaht B．Wrong C．Not mentioned 第3部分：概括大意與完成句子(第23～30題，每題1分，共8分) 下面的短文后有2項測試任務(wù)：(1)第23—26題要求從所給的6個選項中為指定段落每段選擇1個小標(biāo)題；(2)第27—30題要求從所給的6個選項中為每個句子確定 一個選項。 23、根據(jù)材料，回答23-31問題。 The Drink Your Body Needs Most 1. Our bodies are estimated to be about 60% to 70% water. Blood is mostly water, and our muscles, lungs, and brain all contain a lot of water. Water is needed to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients (滋養(yǎng)物) to travel to all our organs. Water also transports oxygen to our cells, removes waste, and protects our joints and organs. 2. We lose water through urination (排尿) , respiration ( 呼吸), and by sweating. If you are very active, you lose more water than if you do not take much exercise. Symptoms of mild dehydration (脫水 ) include chronic pains in joints and muscles, lower back pain, headaches, and constipation (便秘. A strong smell to your urine, along with a yellow color indicates that you are not getting enough water. Thirst is all obvious sign of dehydration and in fact, you need water long before you feel thirsty. 3. A good rule of thumb (好的故事) is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces ( 盎司) of water per day that you need. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, you should drink at least 80 ounces of water per day. If you exercise you should drink another 8 ounce glass of water for every 20 minutes you are active. If you drink coffee or alcohol, you should add at least an equal amount of water. When you are traveling on an airplane, it is good to have 8 ounces of water for every hour you are on board the plane. 4. It may be difficult to drink enough water on a busy day. Be sure you have water handy at all times by keeping a bottle for water with you when you are working, traveling, or exercising. If you get bored with plain water, add a bit of lemon for a touch of flavor. There are some brands of flavored water available ; but some of them have sugar or artificial sweeteners that you don't need.

It's tough, though, to define exactly what happiness is, and what makes us happy. There are two broad ways of looking at happiness: short-term happiness ( a great cookie, a boodle of wine) and long-term happiness ( financial security, achieving your goals). Both types of happiness are valid, and important. The problem is, they're often in competition. Let's say you've got a goal of losing 50 pounds this year. You know you'd be happier and healthier if you weren't carrying that extra weight. To achieve long-term happiness, you need to go on a diet. In the short-term, though, it's not that easy. A chocolate cake, or a large glass of wine, might seem like just the thing to cheer you up at the end of a long day or to celebrate with friends. It's the same with lots of other goals. If you've got a tendency to prioritize long-term happiness at the expense of day-to-day pleasures, you should start looking for some small ways to bring a little joy back into your life. I'm not suggesting that you go our and get drunk every night, or that you stuff with cake. There are plenty of other ways to enjoy yourself. Don't pin all your hopes of happiness on some far-off future, though. There's no point working a 60-hour week and making yourself thoroughly miserable in the belief that things will be prefect as soon as you're making a six-figure salary.
A proper title for the passage is“______” A．Happy Thereafter B．Beyond Happiness C．Happiness In, Happiness Out D．Happy Now or in the Future?
32、Paragraph 2 is mainly about______ A．what makes us happy. B．how to understand happiness. C．how we can be happier. D．what happiness can bring us.
33、The example in Paragraph 3 is meant to emphasize that________ A．both short-term happiness and long-term happiness are important. B．we tend to seek short-term happiness instead of long-term happiness. C．people prefer long-term happiness to short-term happiness. D．short-term happiness may contradict long-term happiness.
34、The word "prioritize" (last paragraph) probably means______ A．treat something as more important than others B．improve something's value or quality C．put extra emphasis on something D．look for something that is difficult to find
35、The author suggests in the last paragraph that sacrificing short-term happiness for long-term happiness_______ A．works well. B．can be justified. C．is not worthwhile. D．makes no difference. 36、根據(jù)材料，回答36-41問題。 Gender Gap The girls in this sixth grade class in East Palo Alto, California, all have the same access to computers as boys. But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are victims of what the researchers call a major new gender (性別) gap in technology. Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women says, "girls tend to be less comfortable than boys with the computer. They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving, rather than to discover new ways in which to understand information. " After re-examining a thousand studies, the American Association of University Women researchers found that gifts make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes. Girls consistently rate themselves significantly lower than boys in their ability and confidence in using computers. And they use computers less often than boys outside the classroom. An instructor of a computer lab says he's already noticed some differences. Charles Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says, "boys are not so afraid they might do something that will harm the computer, whereas girls are afraid they might break it somehow. Six years ago, the software company Purple Moon noticed that girls' computer usage was falling behind boys. Karen Gould says, "the number one reason girls told us they don't like computer games is not that they're too violent, or too competitive. Girls just said they're incredibly boring. " Purple Moon says it found what girls want - characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what's going on in their own lives. Karen Gould of Purple Moon Software says,"What we definitely found from girls is that there is no intrinsic (固有的) reason why they wouldn't want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing. " The sponsor of the study says it all boils down to this: the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys must be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21st century.
According to the passage, girls are victims of the gender gap in technology Because______ A．they can not discover new ways to use computers. B．they have the same access to computers as boys. C．they are likely to be less comfortable with computers. D．they can only use computers for word processing.
37、The research on girls and computers is_____ A．based on a few recent articles. B．presented by one person. C．based on thousands of studies. D．not considered well grounded.
38、Girls often feel______ A．bored with computer games. B．comfortable using computers. C．it hard to use computers in word processing. D．worried about using computers.
39、The software company seems to think girls would be more interested if______ A．girls had an equal chance of playing games. B．the software was more violent. C．the software content was changed. D．the character were funny.
40、The gender gap needs to be closed because______ A．it isn't fair that boys are allowed to use computers all the time. B．there isn't enough money for upgrading computers. C．most of the causes may boil down to a question of money. D．the ability to use computers is important in today's world. 41、根據(jù)材料，回答41-46問題。 Purchase over the Internet In 1998, consumers could purchase virtually anything over the Internet. Books, compact discs, and even stocks were available from World Wide Web sites that seemed to spring up almost daily. A few years earlier, some people had predicted that consumers accustomed to shopping in stores would be reluctant to buy things that they could not see or touch in person. For a growing number of time-starved consumers, however, shopping from their home computer was proved to be a convenient alternative to driving to the store. A research estimated that in 1998 US consumers would purchase $ 7. 3 billion of goods over the Internet, double the 1997 total. Finding a bargain was getting easier owing to the rise of online auctions and Web sites that did comparison shopping on the Internet for the best deal. For all the consumer interest, retailing in cyberspace was still a largely unprofitable business, however. Internet pioneer Amazon. com, which began selling books in 1995 and later branched into recorded music and videos, posted revenue of $153.7 million in the third quarter, up from $ 37.9 million in the same period of 1997. Overall, however, the company's loss widened to $ 45.2 million from $ 9. 6 million, and analysis did not expect the company to turn a profit until 2001. Despite the great loss, Amazon. com had a stock market value of many billions, reflecting investors' optimism about the future of the industry. Internet retailing appealed to investors because it provided an efficient means for reaching millions of consumers without having the cost of operating conventional stores with their armies of salespeople. Selling online carried ItS own risks, however. With so many companies competing for consumers' attention, price competition was intense and profit margins thin or nonexistent. One video retailer sold the hit movie Titanic for $ 9.99, undercutting (削價) the $19. 99 suggested retail price and losing about $ 6 on each copy sold. With Internet retailing still in its initial stage, companies seemed willing to absorb such losses in an attempt to establish a dominant market position.
Which of the following is TRUE, according to the writer? A．Consumers are reluctant to buy things on the Internet. B．Consumers are too busy to buy things on the Internet. C．Internet retailing is a profitable business. D．More and more consumers prefer Internet shopping.
42、Finding a bargain on the Internet was getting easier partly because_____ A．there were more and more Internet users. B．there were more and more online auctions. C．the consumers had more money to spend. D．there were more goods available on the Internet.
43、"For all the consumer interest" (Paragraph 3) means______ A．to the interest of all the consumers. B．for the interest of all the consumers. C．though consumers are very much interested. D．a(chǎn)ll the consumers are much interested.
44、It can be inferred from the passage that Amazon. Com______ A．will probably make a profit in 2001. B．is making a profit now. C．is a company that sells books only. D．suffers a great loss on the stock market.
45、investors are interested in Internet retailing because______ A．selling online involves little risk. B．Internet retailing is in its initial stage. C．it can easily reach millions of consumers. D．they can make huge profits from it.

When you log onto a Website, a small pop-up invites you to book a bouquet for her. Commercial warmth and gratitude are the atmosphere being spread around for this special Sunday in May. (46)The popularity of Mother's Day around the world suggests that Jarvis got all she wanted. In fact, she got more -- enough to make her horrified. (47)They buy, among other things, 132 million cards. Mother's Day is the No. 1 holiday for flower purchases. Then there are the various commodities, ranging from jewelry and clothes to cosmetics and washing powder, that take advantage of the promotion opportunities. Because of this, Jarvis spent the last 40 years of her life trying to stop Mother's Day. One protest against the commercialization of Mother's Day even got her arrested—for disturbing the peace, interestingly. (48)As Ralph Fevre, a reporter at the UK newspaper The Guardian, observe,traditionally "motherhood is something that we do because we think it's fight. " But in the logic of commercialism, people need something in exchange for their time and energy. A career serves this purpose better. (49) So they work hard and play hard. Becoming a mother, however, inevitably handicaps career anticipation. (50)According to The Guardian, there are twice as many child-free young women as there were a generation ago. Or, they put off the responsibility of parenting until later in their lives. So, Fevre writes that the meaning of celebrating Mother's Day needs to be updated: "It is to persuade people that parenting is a good idea and to honor people for their attempt to be good people. "

Water also transports oxygen to our cells, removes waste, and protects our joints and organs. 2. We lose water through urination (排尿) , respiration ( 呼吸), and by sweating. If you are very active, you lose more water than if you do not take much exercise. Symptoms of mild dehydration (脫水 ) include chronic pains in joints and muscles, lower back pain, headaches, and constipation (便秘. A strong smell to your urine, along with a yellow color indicates that you are not getting enough water. Thirst is all obvious sign of dehydration and in fact, you need water long before you feel thirsty. 3. A good rule of thumb (好的故事) is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces ( 盎司) of water per day that you need. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, you should drink at least 80 ounces of water per day. If you exercise you should drink another 8 ounce glass of water for every 20 minutes you are active. If you drink coffee or alcohol, you should add at least an equal amount of water. When you are traveling on an airplane, it is good to have 8 ounces of water for every hour you are on board the plane. 4. It may be difficult to drink enough water on a busy day. Be sure you have water handy at all times by keeping a bottle for water with you when you are working, traveling, or exercising. If you get bored with plain water, add a bit of lemon for a touch of flavor. There are some brands of flavored water available ; but some of them have sugar or artificial sweeteners that you don't need.

It's tough, though, to define exactly what happiness is, and what makes us happy. There are two broad ways of looking at happiness: short-term happiness ( a great cookie, a boodle of wine) and long-term happiness ( financial security, achieving your goals). Both types of happiness are valid, and important. The problem is, they're often in competition. Let's say you've got a goal of losing 50 pounds this year. You know you'd be happier and healthier if you weren't carrying that extra weight. To achieve long-term happiness, you need to go on a diet. In the short-term, though, it's not that easy. A chocolate cake, or a large glass of wine, might seem like just the thing to cheer you up at the end of a long day or to celebrate with friends. It's the same with lots of other goals. If you've got a tendency to prioritize long-term happiness at the expense of day-to-day pleasures, you should start looking for some small ways to bring a little joy back into your life. I'm not suggesting that you go our and get drunk every night, or that you stuff with cake. There are plenty of other ways to enjoy yourself. Don't pin all your hopes of happiness on some far-off future, though. There's no point working a 60-hour week and making yourself thoroughly miserable in the belief that things will be prefect as soon as you're making a six-figure salary.
A proper title for the passage is“______” A．Happy Thereafter B．Beyond Happiness C．Happiness In, Happiness Out D．Happy Now or in the Future?

33、The example in Paragraph 3 is meant to emphasize that________ A．both short-term happiness and long-term happiness are important. B．we tend to seek short-term happiness instead of long-term happiness. C．people prefer long-term happiness to short-term happiness. D．short-term happiness may contradict long-term happiness.
34、The word "prioritize" (last paragraph) probably means______ A．treat something as more important than others B．improve something's value or quality C．put extra emphasis on something D．look for something that is difficult to find
35、The author suggests in the last paragraph that sacrificing short-term happiness for long-term happiness_______ A．works well. B．can be justified. C．is not worthwhile. D．makes no difference. 36、根據(jù)材料，回答36-41問題。 Gender Gap The girls in this sixth grade class in East Palo Alto, California, all have the same access to computers as boys. But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are victims of what the researchers call a major new gender (性別) gap in technology. Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women says, "girls tend to be less comfortable than boys with the computer. They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving, rather than to discover new ways in which to understand information. " After re-examining a thousand studies, the American Association of University Women researchers found that gifts make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes. Girls consistently rate themselves significantly lower than boys in their ability and confidence in using computers. And they use computers less often than boys outside the classroom. An instructor of a computer lab says he's already noticed some differences. Charles Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says, "boys are not so afraid they might do something that will harm the computer, whereas girls are afraid they might break it somehow. Six years ago, the software company Purple Moon noticed that girls' computer usage was falling behind boys. Karen Gould says, "the number one reason girls told us they don't like computer games is not that they're too violent, or too competitive. Girls just said they're incredibly boring. " Purple Moon says it found what girls want - characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what's going on in their own lives. Karen Gould of Purple Moon Software says,"What we definitely found from girls is that there is no intrinsic (固有的) reason why they wouldn't want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing. " The sponsor of the study says it all boils down to this: the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys must be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21st century.
According to the passage, girls are victims of the gender gap in technology Because______ A．they can not discover new ways to use computers. B．they have the same access to computers as boys. C．they are likely to be less comfortable with computers. D．they can only use computers for word processing.
37、The research on girls and computers is_____ A．based on a few recent articles. B．presented by one person. C．based on thousands of studies. D．not considered well grounded.
38、Girls often feel______ A．bored with computer games. B．comfortable using computers. C．it hard to use computers in word processing. D．worried about using computers.
39、The software company seems to think girls would be more interested if______ A．girls had an equal chance of playing games. B．the software was more violent. C．the software content was changed. D．the character were funny.
40、The gender gap needs to be closed because______ A．it isn't fair that boys are allowed to use computers all the time. B．there isn't enough money for upgrading computers. C．most of the causes may boil down to a question of money. D．the ability to use computers is important in today's world. 41、根據(jù)材料，回答41-46問題。 Purchase over the Internet In 1998, consumers could purchase virtually anything over the Internet. Books, compact discs, and even stocks were available from World Wide Web sites that seemed to spring up almost daily. A few years earlier, some people had predicted that consumers accustomed to shopping in stores would be reluctant to buy things that they could not see or touch in person. For a growing number of time-starved consumers, however, shopping from their home computer was proved to be a convenient alternative to driving to the store. A research estimated that in 1998 US consumers would purchase $ 7. 3 billion of goods over the Internet, double the 1997 total. Finding a bargain was getting easier owing to the rise of online auctions and Web sites that did comparison shopping on the Internet for the best deal. For all the consumer interest, retailing in cyberspace was still a largely unprofitable business, however. Internet pioneer Amazon. com, which began selling books in 1995 and later branched into recorded music and videos, posted revenue of $153.7 million in the third quarter, up from $ 37.9 million in the same period of 1997. Overall, however, the company's loss widened to $ 45.2 million from $ 9. 6 million, and analysis did not expect the company to turn a profit until 2001. Despite the great loss, Amazon. com had a stock market value of many billions, reflecting investors' optimism about the future of the industry. Internet retailing appealed to investors because it provided an efficient means for reaching millions of consumers without having the cost of operating conventional stores with their armies of salespeople. Selling online carried ItS own risks, however. With so many companies competing for consumers' attention, price competition was intense and profit margins thin or nonexistent. One video retailer sold the hit movie Titanic for $ 9.99, undercutting (削價) the $19. 99 suggested retail price and losing about $ 6 on each copy sold. With Internet retailing still in its initial stage, companies seemed willing to absorb such losses in an attempt to establish a dominant market position.
Which of the following is TRUE, according to the writer? A．Consumers are reluctant to buy things on the Internet. B．Consumers are too busy to buy things on the Internet. C．Internet retailing is a profitable business. D．More and more consumers prefer Internet shopping.
42、Finding a bargain on the Internet was getting easier partly because_____ A．there were more and more Internet users. B．there were more and more online auctions. C．the consumers had more money to spend. D．there were more goods available on the Internet.
43、"For all the consumer interest" (Paragraph 3) means______ A．to the interest of all the consumers. B．for the interest of all the consumers. C．though consumers are very much interested. D．a(chǎn)ll the consumers are much interested.
44、It can be inferred from the passage that Amazon. Com______ A．will probably make a profit in 2001. B．is making a profit now. C．is a company that sells books only. D．suffers a great loss on the stock market.
45、investors are interested in Internet retailing because______ A．selling online involves little risk. B．Internet retailing is in its initial stage. C．it can easily reach millions of consumers. D．they can make huge profits from it.

When you log onto a Website, a small pop-up invites you to book a bouquet for her. Commercial warmth and gratitude are the atmosphere being spread around for this special Sunday in May. (46)The popularity of Mother's Day around the world suggests that Jarvis got all she wanted. In fact, she got more -- enough to make her horrified. (47)They buy, among other things, 132 million cards. Mother's Day is the No. 1 holiday for flower purchases. Then there are the various commodities, ranging from jewelry and clothes to cosmetics and washing powder, that take advantage of the promotion opportunities. Because of this, Jarvis spent the last 40 years of her life trying to stop Mother's Day. One protest against the commercialization of Mother's Day even got her arrested—for disturbing the peace, interestingly. (48)As Ralph Fevre, a reporter at the UK newspaper The Guardian, observe,traditionally "motherhood is something that we do because we think it's fight. " But in the logic of commercialism, people need something in exchange for their time and energy. A career serves this purpose better. (49) So they work hard and play hard. Becoming a mother, however, inevitably handicaps career anticipation. (50)According to The Guardian, there are twice as many child-free young women as there were a generation ago. Or, they put off the responsibility of parenting until later in their lives. So, Fevre writes that the meaning of celebrating Mother's Day needs to be updated: "It is to persuade people that parenting is a good idea and to honor people for their attempt to be good people. "
