17、ll find 5questions or unfinished statement. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C or D. You should make the correct choice. Passage One“I like him the minutes I saw him.” “Before she even said a word, I knew there was something funny about her.” Such statements are exampl

18、es of snap judgments, opinions which are formed suddenly, seemingly without any sound reason at all. Most people say snap judgments are unsound or even dangerous .They also admit they often make snap judgments and find them to be fairly sound. Snap judgments like “l(fā)ove at first sight” or “instant ha

19、te”, if taken seriously, have usually been considered signs of immaturity or lack of common sense. When someone has a feeling about someone else, people more often laugh than pay attention.Most people think you find out about a person by listening to what he says over a period of time. Others say “a

20、ctions speak louder than words”, usually in relation to keeping promises.Because people assume “you are what you say you are”, they talk a lot to become acquainted with each other. Once two people have become acquainted, they think it was their conversation that gave them their information about eac

21、h other. As behavioral sciences develop, however, researchers find the importance of speech has been overestimated. Although speech is the most obvious form of communication, we do use other forms of which we may be only partially aware or, in some cases, completely unaware. It is possible we are un

22、consciously sending messages with every action, messages that are unconsciously picked up by others and used in forming opinions. These unconscious actions and reactions to them may in part account for our feelings and snap judgments.41. According to the first paragraph, a snap judgment is_. A. a so

23、und opinion although it is formed suddenlyB. an opinion formed suddenly, seemingly without reason. C. an sound and dangerous opinion formed quickly. D. an opinion formed with careful thought.42.

25、re fully aware of other forms of communication C. it is impossible to know how much it helps us form judgments D. its importance is thought to be greater than it really is44. According to researchers, snap judgments are partly the result of_ A. messages we receive unconsciously B. our conversation w

26、ith other peopleC. being unable to understand oral communicationD. not sending the correct messages consciously or unconsciously 45. According to the passage,_. A. people use snap judgments to laugh at other people B. people are not talking when they are using body language C. people use body langua

27、ge to communicateD. people cannot explain such feelings such as “l(fā)ove at first sight” or “instant hate” Passage TwoAcquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was diagnosed in the US in the late 1970s. Since then, AIDS has killed more than 204,000 Americans-half of that number in the past few years a

28、lone. Another 185,000 of the one million infected with the HIV virus are expected to die within the next year.Nearly half of those diagnosed with the virus are blacks and Latinos. Women and youth in rural southern communities now constitute the fastest growing segment of people with AIDS.Despite suc

29、h alarming numbers, the federal and state governments have been slow in implementing programs to stop the spread of AIDS. In place of government inactivity, a number of local organizations have emerged. One organization, the South Carolina AIDS Education Network, formed in 1985 to combat the growing

30、 number of AIDS cases. Like many local organizations, this organization suffers from a lack of money, forcing it to use its resources creatively. To reach more people in the community, some AIDS educational programs operate out of a beauty shop.46. Which of the following statements is true?A. AIDS w

31、as diagnosed in the US in the middle 1970s. B. All of those diagnosed with HIV virus are blacks and Latinos.C. The governments are very active in implementing programs to stop the spread of AIDS.

33、 fastest growing group of people with AIDS? A. Women and youth in urban southern communities. B. Women and youth in rural southern communities. C. Women in rural northern communities.D. Women and youth in rural northern communities. 50. From the passage we can infer that_?A. Because the government i

34、s active in stopping the spread of AIDS, some local organizations have emerged.B. Half of 204,000 Americans will die during the next year.C. The local organization isnt lacking in money, so it doesnt have to use its resources creatively.D. Although the number of people inflected with AIDS is surpris

35、ing, the federal and state government havent taken actions in time to carry out programs to stop the spread of AIDS.Passage ThreeWhen we think about people who are leaders, we often get a mental picture of someone who is older, smarter, and wiser than ourselves. Studies of leadership, though, have u

36、sually found that there is almost no relationship between skill as a leader and traditional measures of intelligence.Some recent research by psychologist Fred Fiedler and his colleagues suggest that both intelligence and experience may be important - but just how important depends upon how stressful

37、 the work situation is and what kind of task is to be accomplished. The researchers obtained measures intelligence, experience, performance, and stress.Overall , these variables (因素) were not related to one another . Men with high and low intelligence were equally likely to give good performance ,as

38、 were men with more and less experience , or more and less stress with their bosses .However, when you look separately at those men who have high stress with their bosses, the picture changes.In high stress situations, there was no association between intelligence and performance, but there was betw

39、een experience and performance. In other words, in difficult situations, it was helpful to “know the ropes”. In low stress situations, the findings were just the reverse: Experience was not related to good performance, but intelligence was. That is, when things are going well, intelligence is very u

40、seful in leadership.A study of fire fighters performance under high and low stress conditions also found experienced officers performed best under situations of stress.None of this is really very surprising. If you have ever had a supervisory (管理的) job , you probably found that at least as much ener

41、gy went into handling people as went into handling the job itself. Tests of intelligence at least the ones we have now do not predict success in handling people. 51. The study of leadership finds_.A. The leaders are older, smarter and wiser than others. B. The skill as a leader has a great relationship with intelligence. C. The skill as a leader has no relationship with intelligence. D. The skill as a leader has a great relationship with experience.52. According to the researcher Fred Fiedler, the importance of intelligenc
