1、MBA联考英语-Reading+B+Part+2 及答案解析(总分：100.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、选择合适的段落标题(总题数：5，分数：100.00)Text 1 A Analyzing your own taste. B Being cautious when experimenting. C Finding a model to follow. D Getting the final look absolutely right. E Learning to be realistic. F Making regular conscious choices. When we meet

2、 people for the first time, we often make decisions about them based entirely on how they look. And, of course its something that works both ways, for we too are being judged on our appearance. When we look good, we feel good, which in turn leads to a more confident and self-assured manner. People t

3、hen pick up on this confidence and respond positively towards us. Undoubtedly, its whats inside thats important, but sometimes we can send out the wrong signals simply by wearing inappropriate clothing or not spending enough time thinking about how others see us.（分数：20.00）(1)._ For example, people o

4、ften make the mistake of trying to look like someone else theyve seen in a magazine, but this is usually a disaster as we all have our own characteristics. Stand in front of a full-length mirror and be honest with yourself about what you see. There is no need to dwell on your faults-we all have good

5、 points and bad points-but think instead about the best way to emphasize the good ones.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_(2)._ When selecting your clothes each day, think about who youre likely to meet, where youre going to be spending most of your time and what tasks you are likely to perform. Clearly, some outfits

6、will be more appropriate to different sorts of activity and this will dictate your choice to an extent. However, theres no need to abandon your individual taste completely. After all, if you dress to please somebody elses idea of what looks good, you may end up feeling uncomfortable and not quite yo

7、urself.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_(3)._ But to know your own mind, you have to get to know yourself. What do you truly feel good in? There are probably a few favorite items that you wear a lot-most people wear 20 per cent of their wardrobe 80 per cent of the time. Look at these clothes and ask yourself what th

8、ey have in common. Are they neat and tidy, loose and flowing? Then look at the things hanging in your wardrobe that you dont wear and ask yourself why. Go through a few magazines and catalogues and mark the things that catch your eye. Is there a common theme?（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_(4)._ Some colors bring y

9、our natural coloring to life and others can give us a washed-out appearance. Try out new colors by all means, but remember that dressing in bright colors when you really like subtle neutral tones, or vice versa, will make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. You know deep down where your own t

10、aste boundaries lie. And although its good to challenge those sometimes with new combinations or shades, take care not to go too far all at once.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_(5)._ So, youve chosen an outfit that matches your style, your personality, your shape and your coloring. But does it fit? If something is

11、too tight or too loose, you wont achieve the desired effect, and no matter what other qualities it has, it wont improve your appearance or your confidence. Sometimes, we buy things without thinking. Some people who dislike shopping grab the first thing they see, or prefer to use mail-order or the In

12、ternet. In all cases, if it doesnt fit perfectly, dont buy it, because the finer details are just as important as the overall style. Reappraising your image isnt selfish because everyone who comes into contact with you will benefit. Youll look better and youll feel a better person all round. And if

13、in doubt, you only need to read Professor Albert Mehrabians book Silent Messages to remind yourself how important outward appearances are. His research showed that the impact we make on each other depend 55 per cent on how we look and behave, 38 per cent on how we speak and only 7 per cent on what w

14、e actually say. So, whatever stage you are at in your life, whatever role you play, isnt it time you made the most of yourself?（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_Text 2 A Thinks positively. B Knows that principles are more important than rules. C Possesses a sense of humor. D Communicates facts that are hard to take.

15、E Cares for others and their well-being. F Has integrity and authenticity. Much has been written about the tasks of leaders and the skills required for leadership. There has been considerable debate about the question of whether leaders are born or made. Likely behind these arguments is the differen

16、ce between personal characteristics that some people have at birth and skills that one can acquire through education and practice. But the important personal characteristics, while they may seem innate in some people, can be cultivated, and indeed, require cultivation in all of us. For unless they a

17、re strengthened through conscious attention and cultivation, they can, for example, easily be forgotten or ignored in the frenzy of activity often associated with leadership. What are some of these characteristics? One could make many lists, but here are five personal traits that seem especially imp

18、ortant. A good leader:（分数：20.00）(1)._ An effective leader is “genuine“, internally and externally consistent. A good leader is one of whom it can be said, “What you see is what you get“- there is never any wonder as to whether the image, the “person“ presented to the world, really reflects the perso

19、n. Such a leader has honesty-he/she says what he/she means, means what he/she says. A good leader has a consistency of purpose, operates out of discernible principles,and “stands for“ something worthwhile and detectable. Honesty and reliability require self-reflection, the ability to understand ones

20、elf honestly, the capacity to assess ones strengths and weaknesses accurately, and acceptance of ones self.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_(2)._ A good leader takes responsibility seriously but never takes himself seriously. Such a leader can help people relax and get through tough situations in good spirits.（分数：4.

21、00）填空项 1:_(3)._ A good leader understands that nothing except a great work of art can be done by one person alone-that something of lasting value is almost always the result of a group effort. But even more than that, a good leader genuinely is concerned with and interested in others. Such concernin

22、g means that a good leader is collegial, building a sense of group identity and purpose. A good leader “brings out the best“ in each of those who follow, seeks the development and advancement of each member of the group, and delights in each persons growth in ability and of character. A good leader

23、rejoices in the success of group members without announce of jealousy. A good leader is deliberative, involving the group in decisions wherever possible and encourages, supports, and applauds the members of the group.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_(4)._ One of the primary roles of the leader is to inspire hope, ev

24、en in a difficult situation. This is not the same as being a Pollyanna. We think, for example, of Franklin Roosevelts “We have nothing to fear but fear itself“ or of Desmond Tutus observation about apartheid in South Africa that since “it is difficult to be optimistic, one must have hope.“ Such a le

25、ader empowers followers, making them believe that they can accomplish worthwhile but very difficult things. He actually creates energy in the group by being active without becoming unrealistic.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_(5)._ A good leader understands that order is important to a group but that rigidity stulti

26、fies and destroys the followers emotion state. Lasting, empowering order comes more from trust and the development of group norms than from regulations imposed by a leader. Doubtless, everyone would develop a somewhat different, and in many cases, a longer list of personal characteristics. But a lea

27、der who is conscious of such a list, who question the extent to which he or she lives and acts in accord with these traits, and who deliberately cultivates these characteristics is likely to be a successful and appreciated leader.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_Text 3 A We try our best to develop a vaccine. B The c

28、ause of the flu epidemics arising so often in Asia. C The general introduction of “BIRD FLU“. D The reason of the new strain of flu arising. E The diseases caused by viruses threat human-beings. F The connections between bird and viruses are complex.（分数：20.00）(1)._ Human beings have known the diseas

29、es caused by viruses since thousands of years ago; and were fearful of them. The diseases are infectious hepatitis, polio, rabies, and AIDS. Now we can find easily that why the late Sir Peter Medawar, Nobel laureate in physiology or medicine, wrote “A virus is a piece of bad news wrapped in protein.

30、“ Perhaps the most lethal virus in human history has been the influenza virus. About 21 million Americans and Europeans died of flu within 18 months in 1918 and 1919. It was an astonishing number. The outbreak in Hong Kong in 2003 of a potentially deadly strain of flu has attracted the worlds attent

31、ion once again on flu. Flu viruses we call are RNA animal viruses. An individual flu virus resembles a rod studded with spikes composed of two kinds of protein. There are three “types“ of flu virus, distinguished by their capsid protein, which is different for each type: Type A flu virus causes most

32、 of the serious flu epidemics in humans, and also occurs in mammals and birds. Type B and Type C viruses are only in to humans and rarely cause serious health problems.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_(2)._ The new strain of flu arises not by mutation, but recombination. Viral genes are readily reassorted by genetic

33、 recombination, sometimes putting together novel combinations of H and N spikes unrecognizable by human antibodies specific for the old configuration. Viral recombination of this kind seems to have been responsible for the three major flu pandemics (that is, world wide epidemics) that have occurred

34、in this century, by producing drastic shifts in Hand N combinations. The “Killer flu“ of 1918, A (HIN1), killed 21 million people. The Asian flu of 1957, A (H2N2), killed over 100,000 Americans. The Hong Kong flu of 1968, A (H3N2), infected 50 million people in the United States alone, of which 70,0

35、00 died.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_(3)._ It is proved that the new strains of flu usually start to develop in the far east. The most common hosts for influenza virus are ducks, chickens, and pigs, which in Asia often live in close proximity to each other and to humans. Pigs are subject to infection by both bir

36、d and human strains of the virus, and individual animals are often simultaneously infected with multiple strains. This creates conditions favoring genetic recombination between strains, producing new combinations of H and N subtypes. The Hong Kong flu, for example, arose from recombination between A

37、 (H3N8) from ducks and A (H2N2) from humans. The new strain of influenza, in this case A (H3N2), then passed back to humans, creating an epidemic.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_(4)._ A potentially deadly new strain of flu virus, A (H5N1), has appeared in 2003, again in Hong Kong. Scientists paid great attention to

38、 this virus for two reasons. First, A (H5N1) represents a novel combination of H and N spikes, the sort of new combination that has in the past been associated with major flu epidemics. Second, unlike all previous instances of new flu strains, A (H5N1) passed to humans directly from birds, in this c

39、ase chickens. Fortunately the bird flu virus does not appear to spread easily from person to person.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_(5)._ A vaccine directed against the bird flu virus has not been developed. Such a vaccine will not be easy to produce. Public health scientists have injected the duck virus into labor

40、atory ferrets, often used as test animals in flue research because they develop classic respiratory symptoms. Is the duck virus enough like bird flu that the ferrets develop antibodies that protect against A (H5N1)? The result will be known after months.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_Text 4 A Healing power from th

41、e young. B A harmful practice out of human weakness. C Who should take the burden of looking after our old people? D A cure to loneliness found in kids. E Comfort typical of a multigenerational family. F Benefit of extended age groups. Until late in 20th century, most Americans spent time with peopl

42、e of all generations. Now baby boomers may not have much contact with old people until theyre relatively old themselves.（分数：20.00）(1)._ Thats because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care centers, our 13-year-olds in schools and sports activities, and our 80-year-ol

43、ds in senior-citizen homes. Why? We segregate the old for many reasons: prejudice, ignorance, a lack of good alternatives. Younger people sometimes avoid the old to evade fears of aging and dying. Death is easier to bear in the abstract. Its much harder to watch someone we love fade before our eyes.

44、 Sometimes its so hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_(2)._ But there are problems with this age-segregation experiment. Ten 14-year-olds grouped together will form a Lord of the Flies culture-competitive and mean. But ten people ages two to 80 grouped togethe

45、r will fall into a natural age hierarchy that nurtures and teaches them all. For our own mental and social health, we need to reconnect the age groups. Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the young.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_(3)._ A reporter moved

46、her family onto a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit. Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. “My children have never

47、been less lonely,“ the reporter said.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_(4)._ The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby. She was immediately surrounded. People who hadnt gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed

48、comatose woke up to watch the child. Babies have an amazing power to comfort and heal.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_(5)._ Grandparents are a special case. They give grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As my husband put it, “My grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end.“ Grandchildren speak of attention they dont get from harried parents. “My pa
