听力原文: A book report is a discussion and evaluation of a book, usually as a school assignment. Book reports may be written or oral. In presenting a book report you should begin by giving the title, author, publisher, and year of the book's publication. Sometimes it is helpful to give a brief summary of the book to provide a clear idea of its content. (29)The most important part of the report, however, is your opinion of the book. For whom do you think the author is writing? What do you think the author is trying to achieve? How successful is the author, perhaps in comparison with other authors who wrote the same type of the book? What are the book's strengths and weaknesses? In answering these questions, you should provide some specific reasons for your position, including details and quotations from the book. (30) You might end the book report by stating your opinion of the whole value of the book. What you discuss in a book report (31) depends on the type of the book you are reviewing. For example, a report on a novel should include information on the plot, the setting, and the characters. It should also evaluate the novel's total effect or meaning. A report on a biography or a historical work should summarize the author's chief points of view. The report should then discuss how convincingly or fairly the author expresses these points of view.
(30)
A.The writing style. of the author.
B.The opinion of' the author.
C.The idea of the report writer.
D.The quotation from the book.

The authors' research led to a new and telling discovery: that every leader, regardless of age, had undergone at least one intense, transformational experience -- what the authors call a "crucible" (severe test). These events can either make you or break you. For emerging leaders, they do more making than breaking, providing key lessons to help a person move ahead confidently.
If a crucible helps a person to become leader, there are four essential qualities that allow someone to remain one, according to the authors. They are: an "adaptive capacity" that lets people not only survive inevitable setbacks, heartbreaks, and difficulties but also learn from them; an ability to engage others through shared meaning or a common vision; a distinctive and compelling voice that communicates one's conviction and desire to do the right thing; and a sense of integrity that allows a leader to distinguish between good and evil.
That sounds obvious enough to be commonplace, until you look at some recent failures that show how valid these dictums (formal statements of opinion) are. The authors believe that former Coca Cola Co. Chairman M. Douglas Ivester lasted just 28 months because "his grasp of context was sorrowful". Among other things, Ivester degraded Coke's highest-ranking African-American even as the company was losing a $200 million class action brought by black employees. Procter & Gamble Co. ex-CEO Durk Jager lost his job because he failed to communicate the urgent need for the sweeping changes he was making.
It's striking, too, that the authors found their geezers (whose formative period, as the authors define them, was 1945 to 1954, and who were shaped by World Wm' Il) sharing what they believed to be a critical trait -- the sense of possibility and wonder more often associated with childhood. "Unlike those defeated by time and age, our geezers have remained much like our geeks (who came of age between 1991 and 2000, and grew up ' virtual' , ' visual' , and ' digital' ) -- open, willing to take risks, hungry for knowledge and experience, courageous, and eager to see what the new day brings", the authors write.

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Leadership is hardly a new area of research, of course. For years, academics have debated whether leaders are born or made, whether a person who lacks charisma(capacity to inspire devotion and enthusiasm) can become a leader, and what makes leaders fail. Warren G. Bennis, possibly the world's foremost expert on leading, has, together with his co-author, written two best-sellers on the topic. Generally, researchers have found that you can't explain leadership by way of intelligence, birth order, family wealth or stability, level of education, race, or sex. From one leader to the next, there's enormous variance in every one of those factors.
The authors' research led to a new and telling discovery: that every leader, regardless of age, had undergone at least one intense, transformational experience what the authors call a "crucible" (severe test). These events can either make you or break, you. For emerging leaders, they do more making than breaking, providing key lessons to help a person move ahead confidently.
If a crucible helps a person to become leader, there are four essential qualities that allow someone to remain one, according to the authors. They are: an "adaptive capacity" that lets people not only survive inevitable setbacks, heartbreaks, and difficulties but also learn from them; an ability to engage others through shared meaning or a common vision; a distinctive and compelling voice that communicates one's conviction and desire to do the right thing; and a sense of integrity that allows a leader to distinguish between good and evil.

听力原文:W: Hi, Peter.
M: Hi, Laura.
W: How was your final?
M: Absolutely no idea. Anyway, it's just wonderful to have finished the exam.
W: Yeah, to sleep in every morning.
M: Well, I've got a lot to do before I leave for Chicago. I've got a lot of things I can't take back with me and I don't know what to do with them. I am wondering if I can sell them to someone before going back to Chicago. Perhaps you could give me some advice.
W: Well, it depends on what sort of things they are.
M: There are quite a lot. I have a computer which is second-hand and not worth much. (19)What I really want to get rid of is the furniture, the fridge and other kitchen stuff. Oh, there are some clothes and books as well.
W: I see. Well, there are several alternatives. (20)First of all, you could put up notices around the university about the books--you know on the notice boards in the student union building, and anywhere the second and third year students will see them. People are always keen to buy cheap textbooks.
M: Then what should I say on the notices?
W: Just put the titles, authors and prices you want. Don't forget to put your phone number.
M: That's a good idea. What about the furniture?
W: You could try the same thing, but usually Students are away all summer so they don't want to buy furniture now. Another place to try might be a secondhand shop. Someone from the shop will usually come around and give you a free quote, and then you can decide. (21)But normally you won't get much money for that sort of stuff.
(23)
A.Tennis sets.
B.Computer and TV set.
C.Bookcase and book shelf.
D.Refrigerator and kitchen stuff.
