四川省廣安市2024高考英語閱讀理解及書面表達選練（2）
閱讀下列四篇短文，從每小題后所給的A,B,C或D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。
Leadership is the most significant word in today’s competitive business environment because it directs the manager of a business to focus inward 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 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 highly 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(道德準則) and the personality ethic. The former ethic suggested success was founded on modesty, loyalty, courage, patience and so on. The personality ethic suggested it was one’s 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 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 personal 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.

A. Leaders should be good at making right decisions.
B. Leaders should be good at doing things right.

D. Leaders should be skilled in predicting future.
2. Under what condition are people likely to succeed, in terms of what the personality ethic suggests ?
A. When people have little determination , they will be successful.
B. When people have good behaviour, they will gain success.
C. If people have positive mental attitude , they are likely to succeed.
D. If people have negative mental attitude , they are certain to succeed.
3. How can leaders enjoy outstanding success in their work environments, according to Stephen Covey?
A. Firstly they have to think highly of themselves.
B. They are supposed to benefit themselves.
C. They can not adjust themselves.
D. First personally they must manage themselves .
4. What is the meaning of the underlined word “vision”?

Dear Sir,
It is said that our local government is going to move our school to the suburb. I am now writing to express my opinion that it is more advisable to keep the school where it is.
For one thing, it is more convenient for both students and teachers to get to the present school which is located in the center of the city. If it is moved to the suburb, it surely will bring students, especially their parents, much trouble.
For another, as a school with a history of one hundred years, her value mainly lies in the signs left by time. We can put up new buildings and plant new trees, but we cannot rebuild such reminders of memory.
Therefore, I suggest the school not be moved.

Ways to express love to parents
My dear fellows,
Today I’d like to talk about ways to express love to our parents.
As everyone knows, recently people have been encouraged by public service advertising on TV to go home to see their parents and express their love to them. As a middle school student, I feel moved every time I see it.
As far as I am concerned, there are various ways to express love to our parents. First, it is necessary to remember their birthdays, and expressing our wishes to them is a good way to let them know how we love them. Besides, we have the duty to care for the condition of their life and health. Most importantly, we should often help our parents as much housework as we can, particularly when they are tired.
No matter what we do, remember showing respect for our parents is one of the Chinese traditional moral values.
Thank you!
