Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you
to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you
are instructed.
Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or
unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are
4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the
corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
When it comes to human resources, hiring highly-skilled staff is not usually
enough for a company to function successfully. Besides the knowledge in their
particular fields, employees must always have additional skills --those of
co-operation. In the case that work tasks can only be carried out by communicating
with people, accepting common decisions, solving problems, sharing information and
helping one another, teamwork skills are vital.
While some jobs may require talent, the ability to work as a team is learned.
There are no complicated formulas; you don't need to have any special qualities or
exceptional mental abilities. Individuals can be effective as a team if they have
developed certain behaviors or habits of communication. Many companies, clubs and
organizations use team building activities. Team building activities may include
a number of teamwork elements. They are aimed at encouraging active participation
in task accomplishment while all members have their roles as individuals and are
able to co-operate towards a common goal as a team.
Many team building activities focus on problem solving and discussing team
issues; thus argument as a way to common consensus (共识) is encouraged. Team
building activities often involve recognition and identification of team member
skills, talents, knowledge, and experiences which allow the team members to learn
more about each other and fully utilize those skills where appropriate. Many team
activities are focused on developing keys to trust during challenging times.
36、 In the author's opinion, which of the following is vital for a company to be
successful?
A. Specialized knowledge.
C. Exceptional talent.
B. Highly-skilled staff.
D. Teamwork skills.
37、 According to the second paragraph, co-operation skills ______.
A. require special qualities and abilities
B. are learned while working
in a team
C. need exceptional mental abilities
D. are quite complicated to learn
38、 Team building activities are good for ______.
A. hiring employees with special talent
B. encouraging employees to
co-operate
C. helping employees work independently
D. training employees in
their special fields
39、 Why are team members encouraged to argue in team building activities?
A. To come to an agreement.
C. To learn more about the company.
B. To identify their own skills.
D. To build up their own confidence.
40、 What is the best title of the passage?
