　　B【江西省红色七校2016届高三第一次联考】

　　In a movie, a woman reads a storybook to her friend’s daughter. As they approach the last page, she reads, “...and Cinderella and the prince lived happily together ever after.” She closes the book and looks at the young girl, adding, “You know, things don’t always happen like this in real life. I just think you should know that now.”

　　We were all raised on fairy tales with glass slippers, brave princes and magic! It didn’t take too long to realize that stories like that aren’t necessarily true. In the life, you learned that glass slippers are really uncomfortable, no prince is perfect and magic doesn’t always work.

　　So what do you do when the way you planned things is not the way they turned out?

　　Know that parts of your fairy tale have already been written, and sadly, there’s not a whole lot you can do about those first few chapters.You didn’t get the best start.Your trust was unexpectedly betrayed. You didn’t get the job. Whatever falls and failures that happened in your past are just that in your past. There’s still more to the story.

　　While your life has a lot of contributors(投稿者), you are the editor-in-chief. You take what’s there and create the masterpiece. All the good pages and the bad can come together to make a beautiful adventure.

　　When you find yourself wishing your life was more like the fairy tales, remember that in some ways it already is. There will be dragons, bad witches, great romances, winding roads and friends to help you along the way. So, keep rewriting your story every day that you’re alive. Whether it’s a comedy, tragedy or a little of both, the pen is in your hand. How it all ends is up to you.

　　34. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

　　C【江西省红色七校2016届高三第一次联考】

　　We grew up with the familiar toy bricks (积木) that gave us the imagination to build towers and castles. Generations have been attracted by this toy that lets children and adults alike create anything and everything. But with over 200 millions sets being sold a year in over 100 countries, the question remains — where did Lego actually come from?

　　Lego was born from the creative mind of Danish carpenter (木匠), Ole Kirk Christiansen, back in the early 1930s. He established a small business in Denmark. He and his team built a variety of household goods like ironing boards along with wooden toys. The Lego name was adopted in 1934, formed from the Danish words “Leg Godt” or “play well”, which means “I study” or “I put together” in Latin.

　　Christiansen’s company continued to make wooden toys until 1942 when fire struck — the entire Lego factory burned to the ground. Unwilling to give in, the factory was rebuilt and the production line restarted soon after. By 1954, Christiansen’s son, Godtfred, had become the junior managing director of the Lego Group. It was during his conversation with an overseas buyer that he was struck by the idea of a toy system.

　　For over 30 years, the Lego Company made only toys and related goods. Then, in 1968, the company opened its first Legoland in Denmark. Combining the Lego building bricks with a computer, the Robotics Invention System 1.5 is now the most advanced toy in the Lego Company, which is targeted at users aged twelve and above, and that includes any parents or grandparents that want to join in.

　　Now the Lego Company is expanding its production lines to include lights, cameras and so on. Lego Company has done a lot to entertain many children around the world.

　　38. The author presents the text by ________.

　　A. telling an interesting story

　　B. showing the process in different stages

　　C. introducing a practical method

　　D. describing many different activities

　　39.Which of the following is NOT true about the Robotics Invention System 1.5?

　　A. It is the most advanced toy in the Lego Company.

　　B. It combines the Lego building bricks with a computer.

　　C. It is intended for users aged twelve and above.

　　D. It is the most expensive toy invented since 1968.

　　40. What is the correct order of the following events in the development of Lego?

　　a. The entire Lego factory burned to the ground.

　　b. The company and its products adopted the name Lego.

　　c. The company opened its first Legoland in Denmark.

　　d. Godtfred had become the junior managing director of the Lego Group.

　　How to Become an Effective Leader

　　The key to becoming an effective leader is not to focus on making other people follow, but on making yourself the kind of person they want to follow. 41________ It takes time to become a trustworthy leader.

　　As you prepare yourself to become a better leader, use the following guidelines to help you grow:

　　Don’t be self-centered.

　　The truly great leaders are not in leadership for personal gain. 42________ Perhaps that is why Lawrence Bell remarked, “A man who cannot bother to do little things for others are unlikely to become a good leader.”

　　43________

　　Rare is the effective leader who didn’t learn to become a good follower first. That is why a leadership institution such as the United States Military Academy teaches its officers to become effective followers first.

　　Work with excellence.

　　No one respects and follows mediocrity（平庸）. Leaders who earn the right to lead give their all to what they do. They bring into play not only their skills and talents, but also great passion and hard work. 44________

　　Give your power away.

　　What makes leadership so special is that you become a better leader by sharing whatever power you have, not by saving it all for yourself. 45________ If you use your power to empower others, your leadership will extend far beyond your grasp.

　　A. Become a good follower first.

　　B. You are meant to be a river, not a pool.

　　C. They lead in order to serve other people.

　　D. Leaders help people to reach their potential.

　　E. Leadership isn’t learned or earned in a moment.

　　F. Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.

　　G. They perform on the highest level of which they are capable.
