选项中有两项为多余选项。

ASome companies may try to increase employee bonus like free food or fun social events, but Liz Wiseman, the author of Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter, suggests a less obvious way of engaging employees: make them do something hard. 21____.But managers need to know when an employee needs to be challenged. The following signs may help you determine when employees are ready for a new challenge: Everything they manage has run smoothly for a while. 22 . They try to fix other problems at the office from different departments. And they've become strangely negative. If you notice an employee who fits this description, it's probably time to assign them a new challenge.23 .Give them more difficult and more complex duties, but don't ask them to change too much.You should expand on the work they're already doing.Invite them to work on something they are unfamiliar with, something outside their regular ability. Let them learn as they go and become more comfortable with the new project and master new skills.24 . Wiseman gives the example of asking a scientist to switch from biology to oncology（肿瘤学）. The key is to make sure you're not driving your employees too hard. But if you can strike the right balance, they are bound to be more satisfied with their job."Although it's important for your employees to stop and celebrate success or just catch their breath, they might also be ready for the next challenge sooner than you think," Wiseman writes. 25. Challenging work is not."A. Have them apply their ability to a new problem.B. Pay raises, bonuses, and promotions are limited.C. When they meet a problem they quickly find a solution.D. One of the toughest jobs of managers and executives is to figure out how to engage their employees.E. The survey also discovered that people were often ready for a new challenge sooner than you mightthink.F. Once you recognize that need, Wiseman suggests three different ideas for how to make theemployee feel challenged.G. He believes that employees not only want their skills to be used at work, but they want to bechallenged to expand those skills.BWhat will you do if you can’t eat everything bought in the canteen?26 .According to a survey, what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people.27 . According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people.Food waste, which has become a global issue, serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and so cial issues in different countries. In the West, for instance, consumerism, the belief that it’s a good thing to use a lot of goods and services, is often to blame for food waste. 28 . Chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food. On campus, a generation of single children is less aware of the food waste issue. Students nowadays are well protected by their families and hardly have any concept of how much toil (辛劳) others go through in order to provide them with the food they eat.29 . There are over 925 million hungry people in the world, most of whom live in underdevel oped countries and areas. They don’t have enough food to eat. Many children die for l ack of nutrition each year in some African countries. And farmers work very hard to grow the crops. 30 . It’s also important that everyone should think about how they can do their bit to reduce food waste.A. Students’ waste is extremely serious.B. Most of us would simply throw away any leftover food.C. Students can never realize the serious food crisis.D. So there’s no excuse that we should waste our food.E. But canteen waste is merely the tip of the iceberg (冰山).F. Compared with them, some live in a different world.G. China, in turn, features its own eating culture第三部分：语法填空(共10小题；每小题2.分，满分20分)Here in China, as the awareness of climate change improves, realizing a low-carbon way of life, also known as reducing your carbon footprint, is a growing trend among young Chinese.Zheng Xiyu works at 31 __ office in Beijing’s Central Business District．Every day, 32 takes her roughly 40 minutes to go to work by bus．But she is thinking of 33 (switch) to a different way of transport--a bicycle．When buying clothes, she will choose those purely made of cotton, 34 it takes less carbon to produce cotton clothes．She’s also adapting to a vegetable diet as livestock(家畜) can make many contributions 35 today’s most serious environmental problems.A recent survey shows 36 78% of all the 17,000 people questioned have developed environmentally friendly habits in their daily lives．They are doing things, such as taking reusable shopping bags to the store and setting the air conditioner at a temperature above 26oC in summer.On many popular 37 (society) networking websites, people are advocating a low-carbon lifestyle．Their tips include using the stairs and public transport more frequently 38 elevators and cars．They hope this lifestyle 39 (become) more than just a trend within certain groups.As the most populous nation on the planet with the world’s fastest growing economy, China has become the second biggest emitter of greenhouse gases．The recent extreme weather in the southern regions reflects a serious environmental challenge．Experts say there is no time 40 (delay) with the effort to reduce carbon emissions.第三部分：短文改错(共10小题；每小题2.分，满分20分Nowadays, with the growing popularity of computers, students were paying less and less attention to handwriting.According to a recently survey, many students don’t want to improve their handwriting for various reason. 52 percent of them think that they can just use a computer, so it is no need to waste time improving our handwriting. 32 percent believe that they are too busy with the study that they have no time to practicing, and 16 percent think that practicing handwriting is useless.As the saying went, writing style shows the man. Beautiful and neat handwriting is great benefit, especially for students. Therefore, in my opinion, the more importance should be attached to handwriting from now on.。
