11、 on their personal abilities and style. Experts on leadership will quickly point out that “how things get done” influences the success of the outcomes and indicates a right way and a wrong way to do things. When a noted leader on the art of management, Peter Drucker， coined the phrase “Management is

12、 doing things right; leadership is doing the right things,” he was seeking to clarify the distinctions he associates with the terms.When Stephen Covey, founder and director of the Leadership Institute, explored leadership styles in the past decade, he focused on the habits of a great number of highl

13、y effective individuals. His Seven Habits of Highly Effective People became a popular bestseller very quickly. His ideas forced a reexamination of the early leadership example, which centered on the feature that was found in the character ethic and the personality ethic. The former ethic suggested s

14、uccess was founded on modesty, loyalty, courage, patience, and so on. The personality ethic suggested it was one5s attitude, not behavior, that inspired success, and this ethic was founded on a belief of positive mental attitude. In contrast to each of these ideas, Covey advocates that leaders need

15、to understand universal principles of effectiveness, and he highlights how vital it is for leaders to first personally manage themselves if they are to enjoy any hope of outstanding success in their work environments. To achieve a desired vision for your business, it is essential that you have a per

16、sonal vision of where you are headed and what you value. Business leadership means that managers need to “put first things first，” which implies that before leading others, you need to be clear on your own values, abilities, and strengths and be seen as trustworthy.1、What does Peter Druckers phrase

28、ur hearing in old age, a Canadian study suggests. The study, published in Psychology and Aging, carried out hearing tests on 74 adult musicians and 89 non-musicians. It found a 70-year-old musicians hearing was as good as that of a 50-year-old who did not play.Hearing normally declines as people age

29、. By 60, 10-30% of people have moderate hearing loss. By 80, that goes up to as many as 60%. Problems are particularly seen in the central auditory (聽覺的) processing system, which is associated with understanding speech, especially when there is background noise.Previous studies have shown musicians

30、have better hearing than non-players. But this research, by a team at the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, looked at adults of all ages - from 3 to 91 - to see how people were affected as they aged. They carried out hearing tests on 74 amateur and professional musicians (who had played since th

31、e age of 1, were still practising and had been given formal music lessons) and 89 non-musicians (who had never played an instrument). Musicians were significantly better at picking out speech against noise.The researchers suggest that lifelong musicianship reduces age-related changes in the brain, p

32、robably due to musicians using their auditory systems at a high level on a regular basis.The head of biomedical research at Action on Hearing Loss, Dr Ralph Holme, said: “While this study suggests that musicians might be more able to cope with the consequences of hearing loss, it is far better to re

33、duce damage in the first place by using appropriate ear protection. We have always campaingned for everyone who plays a musical instrument or listens to loud music to wear hearing protection, like earplugs, which reduce the risk of damaging your hearing permanently.”1、What can we learn from Paragrap

Is it time to bring some new blood to the banknote?The non-profit organization called Wom

38、en on 20s is campaigning to put a womans face on American money. Barbara Ortiz Howard, the companys founder, would like to see a woman on the $20 bill by 2020.That year marks the 100-year anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which gave women the right to vote.Howard g

39、ot the idea when she realized that her daughter had no everyday reminders of famous women in history. She asked her friend Susan Ades Stone, a journalist, to join her cause. “Part of the aim is to educate as many people as possible about as many women as possible,” Ades says. “We want to see how man

40、y people we can reach.”American money values the successes of former presidents and founding fathers. Currently, there are only two women on money: Susan BAnthony is the face of the rare dollar coin, and Sacagawea can be seen on the gold dollar coin. There are no women on paper bills.With help from

41、writers and historians, Howard and Stone came up with a voting list featuring 15 important women. Ades says there is a standard for choosing candidates. They look at the womens contributions to our world, and at what challenges they faced.More than 72,000 people have voted so far in the poll. Ades s

42、ays the competition has narrowed to a “very close race”, but wont say whos in the lead. After two rounds of voting, Women on 20s will send their campaign to the White House for consideration. The final decision is up to the Treasury Secretary, Jack Lew. Lew is unlikely to make a change without the p

On this planet at least, man is nothing more than a memory-if there is anything left to remember the wise man. But what about our wisdom-will any of it survive us?The conventiona

47、l answer is no. Knowledge requires a knower, and there will be no knowing minds around then. But if information survives, perhaps in books or hard drives, maybe the knowledge isnt quite dead but dormant(休眠), ready to become alive with the help of other minds that develop over time or come to visit E

48、arth in the distant future.At first sight, that seems to be reasonable: after all, we have done similar things with past knowledge. For example, we saved an ancient computer from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece, and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics(

49、象形文字). Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to life.However, the key point is that there is a certain cultural continuity with those ancient times that allows us to reason and make progress in the dark: we know we are dealing with the legacy(遺產)of other humans. Without that link, the s

50、urvival of objects and raw data doesnt guarantee the survival of knowledge. And a lack of continuity in language with any future intelligence would be a barrier. Knowledge is closely connected with language. When a language dies out, we can lose systems of reasoning that they contain. If thats lost,

51、 then it cant be recovered.All this means that other minds might not be able to fully make human knowledge alive when we are gone. It is better to concentrate on not dying out in the first place.1、How many opinions are mentioned in Para.2?AOne.BTwo.CThree.DFour.2、What does the underlined phrase simi

52、lar things in Para. 3 probably refer to?AMaking lost wisdom alive again.BRescuing disappearing knowledge.CPreserving future knowledge.DGaining new knowledge.3、How can we make knowledge survive?AWe know a lot about human beings.BWe learn ways to draw conclusions.CWe have a certain cultural continuity

53、.DWe protect the legacy of other humans.4、Whats mainly talked about in the text?ACan human beings live on?BWill our knowledge survive us?CWhat will the earth be like in the future?DHow can we protect our culture?第三部分 語言知識運用（共兩節）第一節（每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項26（30分） In

54、all ones lifetime it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. But it is 1 oneself that one has the least understanding of.
