Whether in the workplace or on the football field, effective teamwork can produce amazing results. However, working successfully as a team is not as easy as it may seem. Effective teamwork certainly does not just happen automatically; it takes a great deal of hard work and compromise. There are a number of factors that must be in place to make a good team. Effective leadership is one of the most important factors of good teamwork. The team’s leader should possess t he skills to create and preserve a positive working environment and motivate and inspire the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly committed. An effective team leader will promote a high level of spirit and make them feel supported and valued.Communication is a vital factor of all interpersonal relationship and especially that of a team. Team members must be ableto articulate their feelings, express plans and goals, share ideas and see each other’s opinions.Conflicts will arise no matter how well a team functions together. The best way to deal with conflicts is to have some organized methods of handling conflicts. Team members should be able to voice their concerns without fear of offending others. Instead of avoiding conflict issues, a hands-on approach that settles them quickly is much better. It is often advised that the team leader sit with the conflicting parties and help work out their differences without taking sides and trying to remain objective if possible.The team leader must set a good example to create good teamwork. In order to keep teammembers positive and committed and motivated, the team leader himself needs to show these qualities. The team turns to the leader for support and guidance. So any negative words or b ehaviors on the leader’s part can be disastrous.Regardless of what type of work you are in, knowing how to effectively work on and with a team is going to be extremely important to your success and that of your team.6. Effective leadership is important partly because___________________.A. it helps a leader to develop lots of skillsB. it makes a leader feel supported and valuedC. it creates a positive working environmentD. it depends on interpersonal relationship of a team7.

(完整版)高中英语完形填空解题技巧及专题训练(含答案)

完型填空的训练及解题技巧（含答案）完型填空一、文章特点科技信息类文章是指介绍当前科学领域的最新科技成果或者正在研发的科技项目的文章。

2007年广东高考完形填空题的短文就属这类文章。

这类文章有清晰、客观、准确、精练和严密等特点。

如果考生对该技术有所了解，对解题是有一定帮助的，但是归根结底还是取决于对文意的透彻理解、对词语的意义和用法的掌握，也离不开解答完形填空的一些技巧。

二、解题技巧1. 把握语境，一气呵成。

完形填空是要求考生根据上下文语境来进行确定最佳选项的。

做题前，必须要结合上下文所给的提示（明示或暗示），对文章整体进行理解和把握。

因此，快速浏览全文，掌握短文大意和文中用词习惯，才能在解题时做到一气呵成。

2. 先易后难，各个击破。

做题时碰到有充分把握的先做，不确定的姑且先放一放，待处理完其它的答案时，再回头处理，这时由于对文章有了进一步的理解，往往可能会眼前一亮，有“山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村”之效。

3. 善用文中信息，进行逻辑推断。

做几何证明题时，需要有足够的条件，才能推导出结果。

做完形填空时也是如此，需要搜罗证据，再进行逻辑推断，才能得出正确的答案。

如2007年广东省高考完形填空的第21空就是应用该能力推敲出来的。

证据一：...we didn’t have to remember passwords.证据二：es face recognition technology to log you on to windows.证据三：...all you need is a webcam and your pretty face.收集了这三个证据后，推断出automatically就顺理成章了。

4. 善用关联词语，把握逻辑关系。

文章的逻辑关系大多通过一些过渡性的关联词来实现，这些关联词能给考生指明答题方向。

常见的表示逻辑关系的关系词有：表并列关系的and, also, as well as等；表转折关系的but, however, yet等；表因果关系的because, because of, as, since, for that reason, so, therefore, thus, as a result等；表递进关系的besides, in addition, additionally, moreover, furthermore, what’s more等；表选择关系的or, either…or等。

高考英语真题有关“天气”话题的阅读完型深度解析含答案练习备战2019高考

话题天气【话题解读】英美人谈论天气，除个别情况是实实在在地了解天气情况外，其他绝大部分情况都不是为了天气而谈天气，而是为了引入新的话题。

比如旅行的人们坐在车上，彼此互不认识，假若大家都默默地坐着，那未兔太尴尬，而让人难受。

为了打破这种冷局，人们就得无话找话说，说什么呢？在英美人看来，最方便也是最安全的办法，就是谈沦天气。

因为天气这一话题人人都可以发表见解，虽不涉及他人私事，也不至于失礼或引起误解。

命题人可能要求考生写一篇关于天气预报或介绍某地气候特征以及相应的穿衣、生活、出行的注意事项。

另外，随着近年来全球气候变暖，在世界各地频繁出现极端天气，高考也就经常以天气为话题来命题。

话题导读：约翰逊博士曾说：“两个英国人一见面，头一句话就是天气。

”一个国家民众的习惯总是会有它独特的原因的，本文带你一起去分析这背后的根源。

Why do the English Love Weather-speak①It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson’s famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to ②come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that “To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather③has nothing to do with the natural phenomena. “The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman④stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Bothcommentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”.⑤In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.英国人为何偏爱谈论天气众所周知任何一段英语对话都是以谈论天气开始的。

Actually,sitting down and interacting with someone in person can seem like a rare luxury nowadays.But as technology develops, are we losing our ability to connect and empathize (移情) withothers?Empathy is the ability to feel another person’s emotions and understand his/her views. In the past few decades, r esearchers have emphasized our ability to literally read others. Thetheirway we usually try to detect other people’s emotions is through their facial expressionseyes in particular. We are told that “the eyes are the windows of the soul, and eye contact is certain critical in empathy.However, empathy relies on more than reading facial expressions. New researchsuggests our voice can greatly help us connect. A new study by Michael Kraus from YaleUniversity has found that our sense of hearing may be even stronger than our sight when itcomes to accurately detecting people’s emotions. In other words, you may be able to sense someone’s emotional state even better over the phone than in person. Kraus conducted threeexperiments to arrive at the conclusion. In all these experiments, the participants gave the best performance when they only heard peoples voices (compared to when they looked at facial expressions alone, or looked at facial expressions and heard voices).In several follow-up studies, Kraus directed his attention to why the voice is such a powerful mode of empathy. He asked the participants to discuss a difficult work situation over a video conferencing platform using either just the microphone or the microphone andthe video. Once again, the participants were more accurate at detecting people's emotions in voice-only calls. When we only listen to the voice, he found, we simply focus more on the nuances (细微差别) as the speakers express themselves.How can we get better at interpreting emotions in the voices of our coworkers and loved ones? There isn’t much research so far exploring this question specifically. One study on babies, cries suggested that parents with more musical training were better at distinguishing cries of distress from other types of cries. But, really, we might not need much training. Kraus found that, once you remove other inputs (like facial expressions), your attention naturally sharpens when it comes to voice messages. B esides, the human ability to catch nuances in voices may have offered a strong evolutionary advantage to our ancestors, which helped ensure survival.You’re more emotionally on the phoneA question to answer ●Nowadays (1)▲　communication has gained greatpopularity, which dramatically (2) ▲　real-life interactions.In such a situation, can we still connect and empathize with others?A (3) ▲　belief about empathy ●Humans tend to understand what other people are (4)▲　bydetecting their facial expressions, especially from their eyes.A new study about empathy ●The new study was (5)▲　on three experiments, whichsuggested that the participants were most (6) ▲　in detecting people's emotions when they only heard their voices.A(n) (7) ▲　of the new study ●The voice is a powerful mode of empathy, because it makes pe o plestay (8) ▲　on the voice messages.Other discoveries ●According to a study on babies' cries, musical training is a (9)▲　to better ability to listen for empathy.●The ability to listen was an important reason why our ancestors wereable to (10) ▲　.参考答案完形填空【语篇导读】Hayden 上大学时，签署了捐献骨髓自愿书，没想到一年以后，救了一位一岁女孩儿的性命。
