(2015·徐州市高三考前信息卷)B.F.Skinner, the worldfamous psychologist, discovered that an animal rewarded for good behavior learns more rapidly than an animal punished for bad behavior. Later studies have shown that the same is true of human beings.
George is a section chief in charge of __1__ for an engineering company. One of his responsibilities is to __2__ that employees wear their hard hats when they are working. Whenever he __3__ workers who were not wearing hard hats, he would tell them with a lot of authority of the regulation and that they must obey. __4__, he threatened, they would have 10 percent of their bonuses taken away. As a result they would get silent and sometimes angry __5__, but often after he left, the workers would remove the hats.
Later, he decided to try a different __6__. The next time he found workers not wearing their hats, he asked if the hats were __7__ or did not fit properly. Then he reminded the men in a __8__ tone of voice that the hat was designed to protect them from injury and __9__ that it always be worn on the job. Not surprisingly, it worked.
Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person?s pride and hurts his sense of __10__. Criticism seldom achieves the desired goal because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him try to __11__ himself. Any fool can criticize, but it takes character and selfcontrol to be understanding and __12__. A great man shows his greatness __13__ the way he treats little men.
Bob Hoover, a test pilot, was surprised when, at 300 hundred feet in the air, both engines suddenly stopped. His first act after the emergency landing was to __14__ the airplane?s fuel. Just as he suspected, the plane had been filled with jet fuel __15__ gasoline. He asked to see the mechanic who had serviced (维护) his airplane. One could __16__ how Hoover’s anger would burst out at the poor man for that __17__. But seeing the young man was sick with pain from his mistake, Hoover didn’t scold him; he didn’t __18__ criticize him. Instead, he put his big arm around the young man?s shoulder and said, “To show __19__ I?m sure that you?ll never do this again, I want you to service my F51 tomorrow.”
Instead of condemning people, let?s try to understand them. Let?s try to __20__ the reasons why people do what they do and learn to forgive. That?s more profitable and often breeds sympathy, tolerance and kindness.

It was a __8__ love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a school girl?s scrawls (潦草地写,乱涂) about her dream guy. __9__ the letter was written by a woman who had had seven children, a woman who fought for her life and who __10__ only had a few months left to live.
It was __11__ a beautiful recipe for how to keep a marriage together. Janet?s __12__ of her husband begins like this, “Loved me. Took care of me.

语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。心理学教授B.F.Skinner发现因表现良好而受到表扬的动物要比因表现差而受到惩罚的动物学东西学得快,这一点同样也适用于人类。文章中的两个小故事也证实了这一点。1.选D 根据下文“One of his responsibilities is to ________ that employees wear their hard hats when they are working.”可知,George的职责之一就是确保工人在工作时佩戴安全帽,由此可推知,George负责安全问题。故选D。
2.选A 根据空格后“that employees wear their hard hats when they are working”可知,George的职责之一就是确保工人在工作时佩戴安全帽。see that ... 意为“务必……,保证……”,符合语境。故选A。
3.选C 根据上文内容可知,George的职责之一就是确保工人在工作时佩戴安全帽,如果偶然遇到没戴安全帽的工人,他会告诉他们要务必遵守公司规定。故选C。
4.选B 根据上文“he would tell them with a lot of authority of the regulation and that they must obey”及下文“he threatened”可知,George警告工人必须遵守公司规定,否则就会被扣除10%的奖金。故选B。
5.选D 根据上文George对工人的警告和下文“but often after he left,the workers would remove the hats”可知,George的警告只是起到了暂时的效果,工人要么沉默,要么生气地接受了他的要求,但他一走,工人就摘掉帽子。故选D。
6.选A 根据上文可知,George通过警告工人不佩戴安全帽就会被罚款的方法并不起作用,因为他一走,工人就会把帽子摘掉。所以此处指他决定尝试另一种方法。故选A。
7.选C 根据空格后“or did not fit properly”可知,George询问不戴安全帽的工人是不是因为帽子不舒服或者帽子不合适。故选C。
8.选B 根据上文可知,George这次采取的方法与上次不同,由原来的警告威胁转换成从工人的角度去考虑问题,因此语气应是和蔼可亲的。故选B。
9.选D 根据句中“Then he reminded the men in a ________ tone of voice”可知,George这次采用的方法是委婉的,故此处指George建议工人们在工作时把帽子戴上。demand的语气太强硬,故排除。故选D。
10.选A 根据语境可知,批评会伤害他人的自尊心,会使他人觉得自己不重要。故选A。
11.选C 根据句中“puts a person on the defensive”可知,受到批评的人会努力替自己辩解。故选C。

13.选B 根据语境可知,此处指一个伟大的人是通过其对待小人物的方式来彰显他的伟大的。by意为“通过”,by the way为固定搭配,意为“通过……的方式”。故选B。
14.选D 句意:Hoover紧急着陆后做的第一件事就是检查飞机的燃油是否出了问题。故选D。
15.选A 根据下文可知,飞机发生故障而后紧急着陆,是由于加错了燃料造成的,飞机加的是喷气燃料,而不是汽油。rather than意为“而不是”,符合语境。故选A。
16.选A 根据上句“He asked to see the mechanic who had serviced (维护) his airplane.”可知,飞机出了故障后,Hoover要求见维护这架飞机的技工,结合常理可知,此时所有人都认为Hoover应该非常愤怒。anticipate意为“预见,预料”,符合语境。故选A。
17.选C 上文提及飞机发生故障是由于技工粗心大意、加错燃料造成的。故选C。
18.选B 根据句中“But seeing the young man ... Hoover didnt scold him”可知,此处指Hoover甚至都没有责备他。故选B。
19.选D 句意:为了让你明白,我相信你不会再做这样的傻事了,我想让你明天再来维护我的F51飞机。此处是Hoover对那个年轻技工说的话。故选D。
20.选C 根据上句中“lets try to understand them”可知,当别人犯了错误,不要责备而要理解他们,先弄清楚他们那样做的原因,学会谅解别人。故选C。
