Temple Church
Featuring in the novel The Da Vinci Code and dating back to the late 12th century,this is one of London’s oldest and holiest medieval(中世纪的) treasures.Built by the Knights Templar,the church is divided into the Round—which contains the statues of crusading knights,who tried to recover the Holy Land from the Muslims in the Middle Ages—and the Chancel,where the priests(牧师) and singers performing in church services sit.
Where:Temple EC4Y 7DE
Underground:Temple or Blackfriars
Chelsea Physic Garden
Endlessly satisfying the green-fingered,the plain curious or those eager to discover botanical interests in central London,this delightful walled garden was founded by the Apothecaries’ Society in the 17th century and is one of the oldest botanical gardens in London.
Where:66 Royal Hospital Rd SW3 4HS
Underground:Sloane Square
Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art
Built between 1953 and 1958,the Estorick is Britain’s only gallery devoted to Italian art.It draws together a fascinating collection of Futurist masterpieces from Umberto Boccioni,Giacomo Balla,Carlo Carra and others,who emphasized the importance of modern things,especially technology and machines.

Oil and gas have made Qatar(卡塔尔) the richest country in the world—rich enough to be ready to spend $200 billion for the 2022 World Cup.But has limitless wealth brought the country happiness?
“We have become urban,”says Dr Kaltham Al Ghanim,a professor at Qatar University.“Our social and economic life has changed—families have become separated;consumption culture has taken over.”
From desperate poverty less than a century ago,this,after all,has become the richest nation in the world.What’s less well understood is the influence of such rapid change on Qatari society itself.You can feel the pressure in Doha,the capital city of Qatar.The city is a building site,with whole districts either under construction or being destroyed for redevelopment.The local media report that 40% of Qatari marriages now end in divorce.More than two-thirds of Qataris,adults and children,are overweight.
Qataris benefit from free education,free healthcare,job guarantees,even free water and electricity,but abundance has created its own problems.“It’s confusing for graduates to be faced with 20 job offers,”one academic at an American university campus in Qatar says.“People feel huge pressure to make the right decision.”
In a society where Qataris are outnumbered roughly seven-to-one by foreigners,long-term residents(居民) speak of a growing frustration among graduates that the most satisfying jobs go to foreigners.
The sense is deepening that,in the rush for development,something important has been lost.Qatari family life is atomising.With children almost universally being raised by nannies(保姆) from the Philippines,Nepal or Indonesia,differences in culture and opinions are widening between the generations.
The 2022 football World Cup will be held in Qatar.Mariam Dahrouj,a journalism graduate,speaks of a sense of threat.“People in Qatar are afraid,”she says.“Suddenly all the world wants to see us.We are a closed community,and they want to come and bring their differences.How can we express our values?”
【语篇导读】本文是议论文。卡塔尔是世界上最富有的国家,然而巨大的财富并未带给卡塔尔人民无比的幸福。
4.What can we learn about Qatar?
A.Its capital is neat and modern.
B.It’s experiencing great changes.
C.Most Qataris are rich and healthy.
D.Great wealth brings Qataris great happiness.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“We have become urban”和“Our social and economic life has changed”及第三段中的“From desperate poverty...has become the richest nation in the world”和“such rapid change”等可知,卡塔尔如今处于巨变时期。
5.What’s young graduates’ problem in Qatar?
A.They have to work with foreigners.
B.They can hardly find an interesting job.
C.They have difficulty in making a choice.
D.They have become lazy because of abundance.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It’s confusing for graduates to be faced with 20 job offers...People feel huge pressure to make the right decision”可知,面对很多就业机会,毕业生很难做出正确的抉择。
6.The underlined word “atomising” in Paragraph 6 probably means .
A.losing meaning B.gaining support
C.being improved D.becoming divided
答案:D
解析:词义猜测题。根据第六段内容可知,如今卡塔尔的小孩主要由来自其他国家的保姆带大,导致几代人之间的文化、观念相差很大,这些无疑意味着家庭的“分化”。
7.Facing the outside world,Qataris .
A.feel frightened
B.express no interest
C.ignore the differences
D.want to adjust their values
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“a sense of threat”及“People in Qatar are afraid”可知答案。
Ⅱ.七选五
How to cope with yesmen
Have you ever had someone in your organization who was always agreeable?A type of person who always agrees with everyone else.1.
We have most likely all met a yesman at one time or another.Yesmen are eager to please,but find it very difficult to voice their opinion.So what can you do as a leader to cope with(对付) them?
Talk to them.The first step is an honest and objective conversation about their behavior.2. Try to get them to see how they respond in these situations so they can start to see themselves objectively as well.
3. Start with a recent time when they agreed with a decision,and ask for their opinion.Keep asking “why?”or“how come?”Acknowledge their views and let them know that the rest of the team is waiting to hear what they say.
Find out why they always agree.It may be they are just very agreeable people.4. Identify the causes and work with them to reduce the external(外部的) barriers to having their voice heard.
Tell them they need to disagree,constructively,when they have the next opportunity.When that time comes about,don’t embarrass them by putting them on the spot.Instead,ask them what they think,avoid yes-no questions,and use “why” and “how come” questions to get their thoughts out there for the benefit of the team.Thank them for their ideas.5.
A.Ask what their opinions are.
B.They should provide value to the organization.
C.Or they feel like they will be saying something stupid.
D.Even if all the ideas presented conflict with each other!
E.Sometimes the person is not aware that they agree with everything.
F.Yesmen are a challenge in any organization that values individual contributions.
G.This will build their confidence and allow them to continue doing what you have started in the future.
答案与解析:
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了对付好好先生的方法。
1.D 解析:D项与上文的“A type of person who always agrees with everyone else”相呼应。
2.E 解析:E项与下文的“Try to get them to see how they respond in these situations so they can start to see...”相呼应。
3.A 解析:由本段中的ask for their opinion.Keep asking “why?” or “how come?”以及hear what they say可知,该段主要讲述要询问好好先生他们自己的观点是什么。
4.C 解析:C项与上文的“It may be they are just very agreeable people”都是可能导致好好先生唯唯诺诺的原因,并与本段小标题及下文的“Identify the causes”相呼应。
5.G 解析:G项与上文的“Thank them for their ideas”相呼应。
