【正文】 chool39。s restrooms by painting motivational murals (壁畫) on each of the stalls (小隔間).Forming messages like Your mistakes don39。t define you and Scatter (撒播) kindness, the brightly colored words are exactly what a young student needs to see when having a rough dayor any school day for that matter. And now that classes are officially in session, people are already noticing a positive impact. Since posting photos of upgrades to the school in July, Principal Joshua Garcia says that the alterations have aroused a great response. Students have been talking about the murals from the moment the pictures had been posted. Some even took the time to find a reason to e up to the campus to see the murals, he says. I think what makes this small little action so valuable is that it has set the tone for our campus. And not only is that important to students, parents, and fellow staff, but it is also vital for the school39。s new principal, who is trying to gain the trust of the munity during a time in which trust is so necessary for schools. Being new to the campus, I think the parents were able to see how much I value their children and have their best interest at heart, Garcia continues. I have had many parents tell me how they can just feel a difference in the campus climate and how much they are enjoying seeing their children wanting to e here. These murals have put trust back in the campus and its teachers, and by doing so we are able to build a culture in which our students want to be here and learn.（1）What has happened at Warren Middle School? has bee popular among most students. students have suffered great anxiety at school. toilets have been beautified with inspiring words. murals have been made in each classroom.（2）What does the underlined word alterations in Paragraph 3 probably mean? （3）What39。s students and parents39。 attitude toward those murals? （4）What does Garcia intend to do according to the text? increasing anxiety. an artistic atmosphere. a trusting environment. a new culture to society.【答案】 （1）C（2）C（3）D（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，德克薩斯州的一所中學繪制衛(wèi)生間文化墻，用正能量的語言激勵學生，從而獲得學生和家長的一致好評。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Through a process called the‘bathroom inspiration project,’ teachers and administrators at Warren Middle School, spent their summer beautifying the school39。s restrooms by painting motivational murals on each of the stalls Forming messages like ‘Your mistakes don39。t define you’and‘Scatter kindness,’可知，該中學用勵志語言美化了衛(wèi)生間的每一個小隔間。故選C。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第一段中的“doing its part to make sure middle schoolers are returning refreshed and inspired to learn,”以及本段劃線單詞前面的Since posting photos of upgrades to the school和后面的have aroused a great response 可推知，該校別具一格的特色改變引起了大家的關注。故alterations在此意為“改變”。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“Students have been talking about the murals from the moment the pictures had been posted.

The role of corporate culture is to improve a pany39。s mission and strategies, with longterm hopes of improvements in a pany39。s profit. Mostly corporate culture es from a pany39。s top management. One role of corporate culture is to influence employee behavior, honesty, and pliance（服從）. A pany does not have to necessarily create a direct influence for these actions. A direct influence may be a set of written regulations or other policies, and while these may be in place, the corporate culture is usually more of an indirect influence. While many panies try to create corporate culture through the use of written policies, its role is harder to define. The human factor has an influence on how corporate culture is expressed. The way uppermanagement acts and reacts to various situations defines how lowerlevel employees will act, and this aspect may be more important than any written policy. A pany39。s corporate culture can also extend beyond the walls of the business. Consumers who believe a pany to be honest and forthright（直率）may be more loyal in their buying behavior. Employees in a pany39。s customer service department can also exhibit positive corporate culture to outside individuals. In this case, the culture creates a link between the pany39。s employees and its customers. How customers react may be a direct result from the pany39。s corporate culture. Product quality can also be influenced by a pany39。s corporate culture. Companies that focus only on profits may decide to avoid highquality materials in products, but try to suggest that the products are of higher quality than they really are. This negative culture can then result in lower brand loyalty with consumers.（1）What do we know about corporate culture from this passage?
