Winning personality
The modern manager has to play the role of team coach, i.e. be good at asking questions. What ____51____ the individual players? What is the role of a manager's personality in inspiring team performance? Since every corporation is a potential minefield (雷区) of personality traits, he or she had better also have ____52____ skills.
Karl Moore, an associate professor at McGill University in Canada, has written two recent articles on the role of different personality types in business. One of the most common ____53____ is between introverts (内向者) and extroverts (外向者). Mr. Moore estimates that around 40% of the population are introverts, 40% are extroverts and 20% are "ambiverts" who can ____54____ both characteristics.
Extroverts are most likely to go far in business. They are, after all, good at ____55____ themselves. While an academic study found that extroverts were 25% more likely to ____56____ a high-earning job. It may also be said a high-earning job would make anyone more confident and outgoing. Yet, personality traits tend to develop early in life.
The study also found that the children of ____57____ families were more likely to be extrovert. It could simply be that children who grow up in more prosperous homes are less likely to face the kind of stressful events that ____58____ self-confidence. People with higher self-confidence may apply for more prestigious jobs and may be more likely to believe that their efforts will be rewarded; those with a negative self-image may feel it is not worth trying too hard.
But introverts are also ____59____ climbing the greasy pole. A study in 2017 found that introvert executives were more likely to _____60_____ the expectations of the Board than their bragging, uber-confident colleagues.
Mr. Moore thinks that successful executives have to become ambiverts in order to succeed. Introverts must show _____61_____ or make an occasional stirring speech, when the situation calls for it. And extroverts need to shut up and listen to their teams — not least because when the manager speaks first, the team members will be _____62_____ to disagree.
_____63_____, managers also need to think about the different personality types when conducting meetings. It is easy for meetings to be _____64_____ by extroverts, who have a tendency to speak the loudest and most often. Introverts may never _____65_____ the discussion.
Managers have to spend time chatting to, and observing their team members before deciding how best to get them motivated. Managers need to be less like Henry Ford, and more like Sigmund Freud.

Section B (22%)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.
(A)

The writer Martin Bailey believes Vincent van Gogh drew inspiration from Hokusai’s The Great Wave when he painted one of his most dazzling and celebrated works, Starry Night.
Side by side, the similarities are obvious. In the Hokusai, Bailey points out that the wave towers over the volcanic peak of Mount Fuji. In the Van Gogh: “The swirling mass in the sky hurtles towards the more gentle slopes of Les Alpilles.”
It is known by art historians that Van Gogh had a passion for Japanese art and was a keen collector of Japanese prints He particularly admired Hokusai’s The Great Wave which is today one of the most recognizable and reproduced artworks of all.
Starry Night was painted in the summer of 1889 when Van Gogh was in a small mental asylum on the outskirts of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
“I did research on the other patients in the asylum and they were all in a terrible state so it must have been very, very difficult for him to adjust his life. I think it was art which kept him sane and gave him a reason to live.” He painted Starry Night in June, inspired by the night sky that he looked up at through the bars of his cell and the stunning Provence landscape with its wheat fields, cypress trees and olive groves.
Bailey argues that Van Gogh was also inspired, possibly unconsciously, by his memories of The Great Wave. “He didn’t have the print with him but he obviously remembered it in great detail. He had a very strong visual memory.” Bailey, however, insists that the comparison should not be seen as diminishing the brilliance of Starry Night. The painting was “a work of imagination with all sorts of conscious and unconscious elements which must have come into Vincent’s mind when he was doing the painting.”
“It is surprising no one has made this comparison before. I’ve put it to a number of Hokusai and Van Gogh experts and they have all said it is a very interesting theory. It is difficult to prove but my feeling is that it is highly likely.”
Starry Night is today regarded as one of Van Gogh’s true masterpieces although the artist himself never regarded it that way. “It is incredible,” said Bailey.
“If you go to the Museum of Modern Art in New York where Starry Night is on display there are more people with their cameras out in front of it than probably any of the other paintings there.
“Who would imagine someone living in a mental asylum would be able to paint such a marvelous work?”
66. Which of the following claims may Martin Bailey support?
A. The Great Wave and Starry Night have nothing in common.
B. The existence of The Great Wave makes Starry Night less brilliant.
C. Starry Night was created based on the general idea of The Great Wave.
D. Starry Night is a masterpiece inspired by The Great Wave to some extent.
67. According to the passage, what is the main similarity between the two paintings?
A. Both of them were created in mental asylums
B. Both of them depicted a rare natural phenomenon.
C. Both of them drew their main elements from Japan.
D. Both of them impress people with the natural power they embody.
68. According to Martin Bailey, which of the following statements about Starry Night is true?
A. Van Gogh sold Starry Night to make ends meet.
B. The painting was created when Van Gogh was in the wheat field.
C. The print of The Great Wave carried by Van Gogh inspired him to draw Starry Night.
D. The unique ability to memorize painting details might have helped Van Gogh complete Starry Night.
69. What can be inferred from “Who would imagine someone living in a mental asylum would be able to paint such a marvelous work?”
A. Those living in mental asylums have no chance to create great works.
B. The negative influence of the surroundings urge artists to draw better.
C. It is astonishing that artists are able to create masterpieces in terrible surroundings.
D. Only those staying in mental asylums are able to paint such an incredibly beautiful masterpiece

【69题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Who would imagine someone living in a mental asylum would be able to paint such a marvelous work?” (“谁能想到一个生活在精神病院的人能够画出如此奇妙的作品呢？”)”可知，作者通过最后一段表明：艺术家可以在精神病院这种可怕的地方创作出著名的画作，这是一件惊人的事，故选C。

In July, a big study came out in the journal JAMA. It was titled “Association of Screen Time and Depression in Adolescence.” This big headline seemed to confirm what a lot of people have been saying—that screen time is horrible for young people.
The study followed over 3,800 adolescents over four years. Part of what the investigators measured was the teens’ amount of screen time, including time spent on social media, as well as their levels of depression symptoms. One of their main findings was that higher amounts of social media use were associated with higher levels of depression. That was true both when the researches compared between people and compared each person against their own mental health over time. Case closed? Not so fast. Let’s take a closer look at this and other studies, and ask ourselves: What exactly is the relationship between social media use and depression? It turns out there are several caveats.
Caveat #1: The association between social media use and depression is, on average, tiny.
In this big JAMA study, the investigators compared social media use and depression between teens and found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores. Specifically, for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than her peers, she likely had a 0.64-point higher depression score. Within each teen, increasing their daily social media use by 1 hour was also associated with a 0.41-point increase to their own depression score. You may be asking, “But what does a 0.64-point increase mean? How much more depression is that?” Depression was measured on a 28-point scale, so these less-than-one-point increases are tiny.
Caveat #2: Not everybody has the same relationship with social media.
A different study published in 2018 identified five distinct types of social media users, and the take-home finding was that “problematic social media use” was one of the main themes for people whose mental health was affected by social media. What makes for “problematic” use? The researchers adapted the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale to cover all forms of social media. It includes questions like, “You use Facebook in order to forget about personal problems” and “You have tried to cut down on the use of Facebook without success.” These sound similar to questions about other types of addiction like alcoholism. You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem, or your alcohol use may become problematic. It’s the same with social media.
Caveat #3: We don’t know if it’s really social media use causing depression.
There’s one important thing to remember about survey research—just because two things happen together, it’s not necessarily true that one causes the other. Another possibility is that something else entirely is causing some people to have both high levels of depression and social media use. For example, one interesting study shows that childhood maltreatment was associated with greater current social media use. It’s not hard to imagine that people mistreated in childhood also had higher levels of depression. In this case, depression may have nothing to do with how much someone is using social media.
73. The study published by the journal JAMA ________
A. found screen time is the cause of adolescent depression.
B. has researched more than 3,000 young adults over the span of four years.
C. concluded that teens who used social media more suffered from more depression.
D. found that teens who spent one more hour on social media had a 0.41-point higher depression score than their peers
74. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “caveats” (para.2)?
A. warnings B. approaches C. faults D. suggestions
75. Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?
A. Almost all types of social media users experience problematic social media use.
B. The influence of social media use on depression has not been exaggerated.
C. People who are depressed always choose to spend more time on social media.
D. People mistreated during their childhood suffer from depression probably due to their childhood experience rather than social media use.
76. What can we learn from the article?
A. The more people use social media, the more depressed they will feel.
B. Social media use actually has nothing to do with people’s level of depression.
C. Higher depression scores will certainly stimulate people to use social media more.
D. People need to be more cautious when making judgments about the relationship between social media and depression.
【答案】73 C 74. A 75. D 76. D

It turns out there are several caveats.（社交媒体和抑郁到底是什么关系呢？结果表明，有几处caveats）”以及后文“Caveat #1: The association between social media use and depression is, on average, tiny（一般来说，社交媒体与抑郁的关系很小）；Caveat #2: Not everybody has the same relationship with social media. （并非每个人与社交媒体的关系都一样）；#3: We don’t know if it’s really social media use causing depression.（我们知道社交媒体是否真的导致了抑郁）”可知，后文就此发布在JAMA杂志上的研究结果提出了三个需要注意的地方，用更多的研究结果来证明其研究结果有待进一步证实，故此处caveats与“warnings”意思相近，故选A。

推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“For example, one interesting study shows that childhood maltreatment was associated with greater current social media use. It's not hard to imagine that people mistreated in childhood also had higher levels of depression. In this case, depression may have nothing to do with how much someone is using social media.（举个例子，一项有趣的研究表明，童年时期受到虐待与频繁使用社交媒体有关系。不难想象，童年受到虐待的孩子更可能抑郁，在这种情况下，抑郁可能与他使用社交媒体的多少是没有关系的）”可知，童年受到虐待的孩子更喜欢使用社交媒体，然而他们抑郁可能是与小时候的经历有关，而不是使用社交媒体有关，故选D。

推理判断题。根据文章第二段末“What exactly is the relationship between social media use and depression? It turns out there are several caveats.（社交媒体和抑郁到底是什么关系呢？结果表明，有几处需要注意的地方）”以及后文提出的三个需要注意的点“Caveat #1: The association between social media use and depression is, on average, tiny（一般来说，社交媒体与抑郁的关系很小）；Caveat #2: Not everybody has the same relationship with social media. （并非每个人与社交媒体的关系都一样）；#3: We don’t know if it’s really social media use causing depression.（我们知道社交媒体是否真的导致了抑郁）”可知，抑郁是否真的与社交媒体使用的频率相关还有待进一步证实，因此人们在发表此言论方面应更加警惕，故选D。
Section C: (8%)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be only used once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
The typically bustling main campus of Pennsylvania State University is quieter than normal. Many students are tuning in to classes online from their dorm rooms. A town ban on gatherings of more than 10 people limits social life off campus. ____77____
“I can tell that the university is trying their best to give returning and new students the full experience that Penn State has the potential to bring,” says Sophia Melocchi, 20, a junior. “It’s just not the same.”
Across the country, colleges have taken a range of approaches to the fall semester. A Chronicle of Higher Education tracker of nearly 3,000 colleges found that of those with firm plans, 19% are opening primarily in person; 27% are primarily online; and 16% are, like Penn State, a mix.____78____
Schools that brought students back to campus quickly have run into problems controlling their behavior. Some have criticized universities for shifting blame for corona virus outbreaks onto the returning students. Penn State recently suspended a fraternity(联谊会)that threw a party with about 70 people, and it criticized other students for gathering, without masks and close together, in large crowds outside a residence hall. “I ask students disobeying the university’s health and safety expectations a simple question: Do you want to be the person responsible for sending everyone home?” Penn State president Eric Barron said in a statement. As of Sept. 4, more than 200 students at Penn State’s University Park campus had tested positive for COVID-19 since Aug.
____79____
That’s already happened at other colleges. Several clusters of corona virus cases in dorms at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill led the school to cancel in-person classes and move to a fully remote model on Aug.19, a week after classes began. At the University of Alabama’s Tuscaloosa campus, more than 1,800 students have tested positive for COVID-19 since returning to school.
____80____ “I originally thought that we would be sent home or moved completely online within the first two weeks of school, but we’ll see how it goes, because it seems like the school has it under control,” says CJ Scoffone, 20, a junior. “I hope it gets better and goes back to normal.”
A. But all are facing a semester unlike any other.
B. Barron said that trend could force a shift to fully online classes.
C. Mask requirements make recognizing faces and making friends more challenging.
D. There is kind of a general fear of going home because people choose not to wear the masks.
E. The 40,000 undergraduates at Penn State’s University Park campus are hoping their institution does better.
F. I’m thankful that I get to experience Penn State, even if it’s only a percentage of the Penn State that I knew in the years previous.
