19、Much of many managers time is taken up with meetings. There are meetings with colleagues to agree a course of action. There are meetings with superiors to report and to discuss future policies. There are meetings with subordinates. Many would say that there are far too many meetings; some would be e

20、ven less polite. There can, however, be no doubt that meetings are part of every managers life. He should therefore know how to cope with them. He should know the techniques of communication in meetings. He should know how to use these techniques to his own advantage.It is sometimes suggested that w

21、hen a manager cant think what to do, he holds a meeting. But meetings in themselves are not an end product, no matter what some may think. They are merely one of many means of management communication. It may well be that a problem can be solved by a one-to-one discussion, face-to-face, or even by t

22、elephone. If the need can be met without a meeting, so be it.Let us therefore define a meeting, in the management sense, as the gathering together of a group of people for a controlled discussion, with a specific purpose. Each of those attending the meeting has a need to be there and both discussion

23、 and its result would not be so well achieved in any other way. It is often advisable to calculate the cost of a meeting. A simple meeting of a few people on middle-executive salaries can soon run into three-figure costs for wages alone. Do not, therefore, have unnecessary people sitting in at meeti

24、ngs and do ensure that all meetings are both efficient and effective.（分数：4.00）(1).How many different kinds of meetings are mentioned in the first paragraph?（分数：1.00）A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Fiv(2).According to the passage _ .（分数：1.00）A.a meeting is to be held when the manager does not know what to doB

25、.managers are not often required to attend meetingsC.holding a meeting is an end itselfD.a meeting is intended to be a controlled discussion with a definite purpose(3).Which of the following statements would the author most probably agree with?（分数：1.00）A.Meetings are the most effective means of comm

26、unication.B.An uncontrolled meeting is most unlikely to be effective or efficient.C.Where there is a need to be met, there is a meeting.D.Problems relating to management cannot be solved without a meeting of some kin(4).It is implied in the last few instances that _ .（分数：1.00）A.the problem to be dis

27、cussed at a meeting should be simple and the members of executives should be limited to 3 in numberB.unnecessary people may stand but not sit in at meetingsC.the wages of the middle executives for a simple meeting may range from one to several hundred US dollarsD.it is often advisable to invite only

28、 those people to a meeting whose salaries are comparatively low六、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：6.00)My writing in my late teens and early adulthood was fashioned after the U.S. short stories and poetry taught in the high schools of the 1940s and 1950s, but by the 1960s, after I had gone to college and dropped

29、out and served in the military, I began to develop topics and themes from my Native American background. The experience in my village of Deetziyamah and Acoma Pueblo was readily accessible. My mother was a potter of the well-known Acoma clayware. My father carved figures from wood and did beadwork.

30、There was always some kind of artistic endeavor that Native American people, set themselves to, although they did not necessarily articulate it as “Art“ in the sense of Western civilization. When I turned my attention to my own heritage, I did so because this was my identity, and I wanted to write a

31、bout what that meant. My desire was to write about the integrity and dignity of a Native American identity, and at the same time I wanted to look at what this was within the context of an America that had too often denied its Native American heritage.To a great extent my writing has a natural politi

32、cal-cultural bent simply because I was nurtured intellectually and emotionally within an atmosphere of Native American resistance. The Acoma Pueblo, despite losing much of their land and surrounded by a foreign civilization, have not lost sight of their native heritage. At times, in the past, it was

33、 outright armed struggle; currently, it is often in the legal arena, and it is in the field of literature.In 1981, when I was invited to the White House for an event celebrating American poets and poetry, I did not immediately accept the invitation. I questioned myself about the possibility that I w

34、as merely being exploited as an Indian, and I hedged against accepting. But then I recalled the elders going among our people in the poor days of the 1950s, asking for donations in order to finance a trip to the nations capital. They were to make another countless appeal on behalf of our people, to

35、demand justice, to reclaim lost land even though there was only spare hope they would be successful. I went to the White House realizing that I was to do no less than they and those who had fought in the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, and I read my poems and sang songs that were later described as “guttural

36、“ by a Washington, D.C. newspaper. I suppose it is more or less understandable why such a view of Native American literature is held by many, and it is also clear why there should be a political stand taken in my writing and those of my sister and brother Native American writers.The 1960s and afterw

37、ard have been an invigorating and liberating period for Native American people. It has been only a little more than twenty years since Native American writers began to write and publish extensively, but we are writing and publishing more and more; we can only go forward. We come from an ageless, con

38、tinuing oral tradition that informs us of our values, concepts, and notions as native people, and it is amazing how much of this tradition is ingrained so deeply in our contemporary writing, considering the brutal efforts of cultural repression that was not long ago outright U.S. policy. In spite of

39、 the fact that there is to some extent the same repression today, we persist and insist in living, believing, hoping, loving, speaking, and writing as Native Americans.（分数：6.00）(1).Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of Paragraph 1 of this selection?（分数：1.00）A.The artful n

40、ature of Native American life compels the author to explore and write about that heritage.B.Art is an important part of Native American life and should be a part of everyones existence.C.The author remembers his childhood, especially his parents and the elders in his community, in a very positive wa

41、y.D.A desire to return to traditional Native American values led the author to write about Native American issues.(2).What is the meaning of the word “spare“ as it is used in Paragraph 3 of the selection?（分数：1.00）A.Frugal.B.Extra.C.Meager.D.Fre(3).Which of the following caused the author to change h

42、is mind about declining his invitation to the White House?（分数：1.00）A.He realized that he had not been invited to the event as a representative of Native Americans.B.He remembered the sacrifices that his ancestors had made for the privilege of going there, even if only to be ignored.C.He was eager to

43、 read his poetry to an audience of other poets and literary critics.D.He wanted his writing and the writing of other Native American men and women to take on a more political ton(4).The effect of the quoted word “guttural“ as the author uses it in the third paragraph of the selection is to _ .（分数：1.

45、e reading of his poemsD.convey the sound of the Acoma Pueblo language to readers who are unfamiliar with it(5).Which of the following assumptions most influenced the authors main argument in this selection?（分数：1.00）A.Literature can be a powerful tool for asserting the cultural values and political r

49、sage 3(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Monochronic time (M-time) and polychronic time (P-time) represent two variant solutions to the use of both time and space as organizing frames for activities. Space is included because the two systems (time and space) are functionally interrelated. M-time emphasizes schedules, segmentation, and promptness. P-time systems are characterized by several things happening at once. They stress involvement of people and completion of t
