【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 called So Much Trouble In The World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too––– that39。s why it made Nov 16th “International Day for Tolerance”. But first of all, what is tolerance? According to French philosopher Voltaire, tolerance is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error。 let us pardon each other39。s fool––– that is the first law of nature.” Very often, people don39。t realize that they39。re intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UN39。s campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don39。t put themselves in the shoes of women. It39。s worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we39。re speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isn39。t necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there39。s something wrong with them. Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That39。s the reason we should be tolerant. It39。s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness. （1）What39。s the purpose of the UN “International Day For Tolerance”?

The UN understands this too that39。s why it made Nov 16th 39。International Day for Tolerance39。.”可推斷，世界上的人們?nèi)狈Π?，因此?lián)合國把11月16日設(shè)置為“國際寬容日”是為了喚起人們的包容意識。故答案選A。（2）考查推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段尾句“But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don39。t put themselves in the shoes of women.”可知，男性對女性不包容是因?yàn)樗麄儾辉敢庠O(shè)身處地的為女性著想，不愿意理解她們。故答案選D。（3）考查推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段后三句“Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we39。re speaking here? To agree to be 39。tolerant39。 of someone isn39。t necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there39。s something wrong with them.”可知，對某人寬容并不一定是一件值得尊重的事情，某人如果被包容，就暗示著某人有問題，因此推斷使用“寬容”或者“不寬容”是沒有意義的，因?yàn)樗鼈儾荒軠?zhǔn)確表達(dá)人們所指的意思。故答案選B。（4）推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后兩句“It39。s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness.”可推斷，在我們給與別人諒解時，寬容有點(diǎn)像慷慨。故答案選C。【點(diǎn)評】本題型考查了對文章段落或某一板塊的理解概括能力。先閱讀問題，然后帶著問題，再讀全文，找出答題所需要的依據(jù)，完成閱讀。在詞義與句義理解的基礎(chǔ)上，結(jié)合上下文總結(jié)歸納某一段或幾段的大意，對于把握文章主旨，分析全文結(jié)構(gòu)都是至關(guān)重要的。5．閱讀理解 Regardless of how far we39。d like to believe gender(性別) equality in the workplace has e, there39。s still a yawning gap between male and female leaders in the professional world. A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hold just percent of CEOs positions at Samp。P 500 panies, according to Catalyst. While it39。s not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions, what is surprising though, is the fact that females may actually be better suited to lead in almost every area, at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School. In their research，Professor yvind L. Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed (調(diào)查)2,900 managers with a special focus on personality types. The results were clear: Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadershipcentric categories. While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders — probably because they picture a leader with a manding voice, which is more typical of men than women — this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goalsetting, openness, sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to municate clearly. There was one area in which men scored higher than women, though, and that was on emotional stability and ability to face jobrelated pressure and stress. The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of highpressure or highly emotional situations. Obviously，it39。s important to consider individual(個人的) differences. Anyone, regardless of gender, may be an inspiring leader and a petent boss. But next time you39。re hiring for a management position, you just might want to give the resumes(簡歷) from female candidates a harder look.（1）What makes us shocked much at leadership positions? A.Women are worse than men.B.Men take almost all high positions.C.There is a huge gap between genders.D.Women might behave better in every field.（2）Which of the following can best replace the underlined word 39。39。inherently” in paragraph 4? A.properlyB.potentiallyC.naturally160
