The passage mainly discusses . A. the relationship between school performance and career B. how to get a job C. how to show strengths in your work D. working experience and knowledge at school PART FOUR WRITING SECTION A Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. In addition to self-awareness, imagination, and conscience, it is the fourth quality — independent will — that really makes effective self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in agreement with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon, to actively carry out the program we have developed through the other three qualities. The human will is an amazing thing. Time after time, it has overcome unbelievable difficulties. The Helen Kellers of this world give dramaticevidence to the value, the power of the independent will. But as we examine this quality in the context of effective self-management, we realize it’s usually not the dramatic, the visible, the once-in-a-lifetime, up-by-the-bootstrapseffort that brings lasting success. This special ability comes from learning how to use this great quality in the decisions we make every day. The degree to which we have developed our independent will in our everyday lives is measured by our personal honesty. Honesty is, fundamentally, the value we place on ourselves. It’s our ability to make and keep promises to ourselves, to “walk our talk. Effective management is putting first things first. While leadership decides what “first things are, it is management that puts them first, day-by-day, moment-by-moment. Management is discipline(training to be self-controlled), carrying it out. Discipline obtains from belief—belief in a set of values, belief in an overridingpurpose, to a long-term or short term goal that must be carried out. In other words, if you are an effective manager of yourself, your discipline comes from within; it is a function of your independent will. You are a follower of your own deep values and their source. And you have the will, the quality to control your feelings and moods rather than depend on others or have your work half done. Title (71) Theme Independent will(72) Reasons ●The example(73) is amazing. ●Power of independent will helps to(74) every day. ●Honesty is very important to develop our independent will. ●It’s our ability to have our promises(75) .

SECTION B (10分.81.82每题2分,83.84每题3分) Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet. New findings are against some of the sillier things that policymakers say about the possible influence of migrantson a country’s overall achievements. “When we started to do the PISA(Program for International Student Assessment)ranking in 2008, many countries were shocked at how badly they did, says Mr Schleicher, “and excuses we often heard were: we get too many migrants, or we get the wrong sort of migrants. Although immigrant children typically do worse at school than locals, there is no country-wide effect. The OECD’s(the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development)analyses show an insignificant correlation of the number of immigrant children a country has and the average pupil’s achievement — and it is countries with more immigrant children that do slightly better. As well as testing children on what they know, PISA also asks them how motivated they are: whether they think they will need the subject in question( most recently, science)for their future, and whether they like to study it for its own sake. In most countries, first-generation immigrant students are more motivated than the second-generation immigrant ones, who are in turn more motivated than the children of the native-born. Germany is a striking exception: new immigrants turn up with the usual ambitions and dreams, but at the age of 15 their children have already given up hope. That suggests that any country that figures out how to let incomers shine will receive big benefits. Immigrants, however poor, are a self-selected bunch of ambitious and hard-working people, and their children usually know that, lacking the informal networks that let locals get ahead, they must study hard to succeed. Their varying fates show that although what happens outside the school gate is important, what happens in classroom is too. 查看更多

 

题目列表(包括答案和解析)


B
What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
(   ) 46. We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.
learning better at school shows power in your job
the better you are at school subjects, the more helpful they are in your career.
learning each subject well is an ability in many jobs.
we should think about how to find our career
(   ) 47. From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good, he
