高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
People want to get ahead when they are working in office, but not everyone can reach the goal.Let’s read the passage and we believe you can understand something useful for your working in the office.
A is for always getting to work on time.
B is for being very busy.
C is for the conscientious (勤勤恳恳) way you do your job .
You may be all these kinds of people at the office, and even more.But when it comes to getting ahead, some experts say, the ABCs above are not enough, a P should be included, for P—politics, as in office politics.
Dale Carneigie suggested much about office politics(策略) more than 90 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement.You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes.Yet, in spite of the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics, a better job, a raise, praise, but many people are still unable or unwilling to “play the game.”
“People think that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior, ” says Deborah Comer , an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University.“But politics comes from the word ‘polite’.It can also mean controlling and forming associations (交往).It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your boss, and then expecting something in return.”
In fact, today, experts explain office politics as proper behavior used to go after one’s own self-interest in the workplace.In many cases, this involves some forms of socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.
“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on their work,” says Neil P.Lewis, a management psychologist.“But if two or three candidates (候选人) are up for a position, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to choose the person he or she likes best to get ahead.It’s simple human nature.
Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office.Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed.Still others connect office politics with flattery (奉 承) , fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.
Experts suggested that office politics should be the need for some self-promotion (晋升).
1.The underlined “Office politics” in (Para 5) is used in the passage to refer to ______.
A.the habit of getting to work on time.
B.the political views and beliefs of office workers.
C.the interpersonal relationships within a company.
D.the various qualities required for a successful career.
2.Why are many people unwilling to “play the game ”(Para.6)?
A.They believe that doing so is not polite.
B.They feel that such behavior is unprincipled(不道德的.)
C.They do like the manipulating workmates.
D.They think the effort will get them nothing.
3.The author considers office politics to be _______.
A.unwelcome at the workplace.
B.bad for interpersonal relationships.
C.impossible to the development of company culture.
D.an important factor for personal advancement.
4.It is the experts’ view that _______.
A.speaking up for oneself is part of human nature.
B.office politics is necessary to self-advancement.
C.hard work is of little importance to one’s promotion.
D.all employees can recognize the need for flattery.

Cell Phones Are the New Cigarettes
When you get in your car, you reach for it.When you’re at work, you take a break to have a moment alone with it.When you get into a lift, you play with it.
Cigarettes? Cup of coffee? No, it’s the third most addictive thing in modern life, the cell phone.And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curbtheir longing to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships.
With its shiny surface, its smooth and satisfying touch, its air of complexity, the cell phone connects us to the world even as it disconnects us from people three feet away.In just the past couple of years, the cell phone has challenged individuals, employers, phone makers and counselors(顾问)in ways its inventors in the late 1940s never imagined.
The costs are becoming even more evident, and I don’t mean just the monthly bill.Dr.Chris Knippers, a counselor at the Betty Ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on-one personal contact, and an escape from reality.
Sounds extreme, but we’ve all witnessed the evidence: The person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him.
Is it just rude, or is it a kind of unhealthiness? And pardon me, but how is this improving the quality of life?
Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell-phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation.He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with.Despite the growing use of phones, e-mail and instant messaging, in other words, Williams says studies show that we don’t have as many friends as our parents. “Just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends,” he says.
If the cell phone has truly had these effects, it’s because it has become very widespread.Consider that in 1987, there were only 1 million cell phones in use.Today, something like 300 million Americans carry them.They far outnumber wired phones in the United States.
1.Which of the following best explains the title of the passage?
A.Cell phone users smoke less than they used to.
B.Cell phones have become as addictive as cigarettes.
C.More people use cell phones than smoke cigarettes.
D.Using cell phone is just as cool as smoking cigarettes.
2.The underlined word “curb” in Paragraph 2 means ____.
A.rescue B.ignore C.develop D.control
3.The example of a woman talking on the phone in the car supports the idea that ________.
A.women use cell phones more often than men
B.talking on the phone while driving is dangerous
C.cell phones do not necessarily bring people together
D.cell phones make one-on-one personal contact easy

They are among the 250, 000 people under the age of 25 who are out of work in the Netherlands, a group that makes up 40 percent of the nation’s unemployed.A storm of anger boils up at the government-sponsored (政府资助的) youth center, even among those who are continuing their studies.
“We study for jobs that don’t exist,” Nicollets Steggerda, 23, said.
After thirty years of prosperity, unemployment among 10 member nations of the European Community has reached as much as 11 percent, affecting a total of 12.3 million people, and the number is climbing.
The bitter disappointment long expressed by British youths is spreading across the Continent.The title of a rock song “No Future” can now be seen written on the brick walls of closed factories in Belgium and France.
One form of protest(抗议) tends to put the responsibility for a country’s economic troubles on the large numbers of “guest workers” from Third World nations, people welcomed in Western Europe in the years of prosperity.
Young Europeans, brought up in an extended period of economic success and general stability, seem to be similar to Americans more than they do their own parents.Material enjoyment has given them a sense of expectation, even the right to a standard of living that they see around them.
“And so we pass the days at the discos, or meet people at the café, and sit and stare,” said Isabella Cault."There is usually not much conversation.You look for happiness.Sometimes you even find it.”
1.Unemployment in the Netherlands has affected _______
A.one million people B.250,000 people
C.1ess than half of the population D.about 0.6 million people
2.What Nicollete Steggerda said (Para.2) means that ________.
A.the students cannot get work after graduation
B.what the students learn is more than necessary
C.the students’ aim in study is not clear
D.school education is not sufficient
3.The underlined word ‘‘it” in the last paragraph most probably refers to ________.
A.material enjoyment B.a sense of expectation
C.happiness D.a job
