高考题型提能练(十七) Unit 17
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Nowadays, it seems that everybody wants to be a leader. Countless books about how to manage a company or influence others fill bookstores. But one needn't be a CEO or Politician to be a leader. Former U. S. President John Adams said, “If your action inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
The key to becoming such a leader lies in character. People follow only those whom they respect, trust and admire. What attractive traits does such a leader have? Below are five of the most important.
Leaders have courage
The New York firefighters who ran into the burning World Trade Tower to rescue others are modernday models of courage. Yet even more than physical courage, the everyday demands of modern life require moral courage. Insisting on doing the right thing despite pressure to act otherwise takes such courage.
Leaders must face fear and doubt in many of the decisions they make. Having these feelings doesn't mean one isn't courageous. After all, courage is not the absence of fear. Rather, it's doing the right thing despite one's fears.
Leaders are humble
Being humble simply means having an accurate view of one's own limitations. Everybody has limitations. Leaders deal with theirs by seeking help from others.
When leaders seek help, they recognize the skills that order other people bring to the table. And when they are successful, leaders generously praise all who contributed to the success. Humble leaders don't promote themselves; they promote others.
Learning is a lifelong goal, no matter one's position. Humble leaders are never too proud to
learn from all sources of knowledge—even those under them.
Leaders serve others
Just Christ said,“If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.” Leaders serve others and put the needs of others before themselves. They make the good of everyone on the team a personal priority.
Leaders who serve others help the whole team accomplish more. Leaders do things to make sure everybody has the resources needed. They go the extra mile to help out during a busy rush. When leaders serve, followers are also encouraged to serve each other.
Leaders have passion
Money or success can motivate someone to show up for an activity. But what motivates one to really put his heart into something? The answer is passion—the feeling that the activity is significant.
Outstanding leaders inspire others because they are motivated by passion for what they do. Leaders show the significance of routine work to others by emphasizing the big picture. They demonstrate how an activity not only benefits the individual, but also one's family, community and entire society. Their passion ignites the passion of others.
Leaders have integrity
One's integrity can be measured by what one does when nobody is looking. Leaders practice what they preach all the time, not just in the presence of others. Leaders also set the example for integrity. If a leader values being punctual, he arrives early.
Leadership is more about who you are than what you know or can do. By following these principles, you can become a better person. And that in turn will make you a better leader.

(2024·日照市校际检测)“Friendly doctors are bad for their patients' health,” researchers have warned as a new study revealed two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like.
Blurring (使……变得模糊不清) the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects.
“Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Facebook, and they should not hug or allow patients to call them by their first names,” regulators have warned. “Those who break the boundaries will face some punishment.”
It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists (肿瘤学家) under the age of 40, finding 59 per cent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they like. Sixty per cent of respondents said if doctors felt too close to their patients, it could prevent them from making objective decisions about a person's care.
Lesley Fallowfield of Brighton and Sussex Medical School said:“Oncology is a profession that can be enormously rewarding but is filled with many challenges. Young oncologists have to master the means of dealing with anxious patients who are facing a lifethreatening disease, conveying the true prognosis (预断), discussing the complexity of modern treatments, and explaining the unavailability of some drugs, the side effects of treatments, and likely treatment aims.”
But she also said, “Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of ‘the Internet world’ are more likely to fall victim to blurring the professional boundaries with patients.”
She said,“The difficulty, if you hug and kiss patients, if you allow them to call you by your first name, is that quickly the relationship can become confusing as a social one rather than a professional one. Doctors become confused, ‘I really like these people, how
can I bear to tell them that they're going to die?’ They find it more difficult to be objective.”
1.Why are friendly doctors bad for their patients' health?
A.Because they don't like to cheat patients.
B.Because they are not good at treating patients.
C.Because they find it not easy to be objective to the patients.
D.Because they seldom blur the relationship with patients.
2.What should doctors do according to the regulators?
A.Add patients as friends on Facebook.
B.Have a close connection with patients in life.
C.Always be cold to patients.
D.Keep patients at a proper distance.
3.Young oncologists will face the following challenges EXCEPT ________.
A.dealing with a lot of lifethreatening diseases
B.discussing difficulties of treatments with patients
C.explaining the unavailability of some medicines
D.informing patients of the possible results of the treatments。
4.Which opinion will Lesley Fallowfield agree with?
A.Oncology is a rewarding profession without challenges.
B.The Internet makes it easier for young doctors to break the boundaries.
C.It's not the doctors' duty to deal with patients' anxiety.
D.Becoming friends with patients will help them recover soon.
1.解析:选C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like”及最后一段中的“They find it more difficult to be objective.”可知,三分之二的年轻医生很难对他们喜欢的病人讲实话,他们很难客观地对待病人,这样对患者的治疗不利,故选C项。
.解析:选D 细节理解题。根据文章的第三段可知,医生应该避免在脸谱网上添加患者为朋友,他们也不应该拥抱病人或让病人直呼他们的名字,即医生应该和病人保持适当的距离,故选D项。
.解析:选A 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“Young oncologists have to master ... and likely treatment aims.”可知,B、C、D三项表述正确;年轻的肿瘤学家需要掌握如何对待面临生命威胁的焦虑病人,A项“处理很多威胁生命的疾病”表述错误。故选A项。
.解析:选B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Those doctors who have entered ... boundaries with patients.”可推知,网络使得医生更容易模糊与病人之间的职业分界线,故选B项。C
Samuel Osmond is a 19yearold law student from Cornwall,England.He never studied the piano.However,he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them.He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts.Then he thinks about the notes in his head.Two years ago,he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata (奏鸣曲)by Beethoven.He surprised everyone around him.

Recently,Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college.The piece had more than a thousand notes.The audience was impressed by his amazing performance.He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it.Samuel says confidently,“It's all about super memory—I guess I have that gift.”
However,Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music.His family says that even when he was a young boy,Samuel heard someone read a story,and then he could retell the story word for word.

答案:
【语篇解读】 本篇为写人的记叙文。19岁的法律系学生Samuel Osmond是一个音乐天才。以前他从没有学过音乐,但是他可以弹钢琴,并且经常弹奏名家名曲,人们对此很吃惊。是什么造就了这一传奇?赶快来阅读一下吧。
.D 解析:细节理解题。由第一段中However,he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them.可以知道,他的特别之处在于他听了曲子之后就能演奏出来,故选D项。文章没有说他有创作音乐的天赋,也没有说他能写下他听到的音符(只是说“记住”),更没有提到他是法学院的优等生,因此可以排除其他选项。
2.B 解析:细节理解题。由Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents...可以知道,他想成为一名律师(也是他父母的愿望),而不是一名音乐家,故选B项,可排除A项;由...but music teachers told him he should study music instead.可以知道,音乐老师想让他放弃法律专业,学习音乐,因此排除D项;由...but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special.可以知道,他并不认为自己是音乐天才,因此排除C项。
.C 解析:细节理解题。由第三段中...without being able to read music and without having any lessons.可以知道,他看不懂乐谱,没有上过音乐课,却能够弹钢琴,这让人们很惊讶。
.B 解析:推理判断题。由第四段中Samuel says confidently,“It's all about super memory-I guess I have that gift.”可以知道,他对自己非凡的记忆力感到骄傲,故选B项。文章说到人们对他的记忆力留下深刻印象,但是不能说他一举成名,因此排除A项。
.B 解析:主旨大意题。全文讲述了一个只靠记忆就能演奏非常复杂的名曲的音乐天才。C项有一定的干扰性,Samuel早年受过音乐的熏陶,但是文章的重点不是讲述早期教育的重要性,因此可以排除。
