Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C,D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. Passage One I knew a man who was asked to be the new dean(院长)of the College of Business of a large university. When he first arrived, he studied the situation the college faced and felt that what it needed most was money.He recognized that he had a unique capacity to raise money,and he developed a real sense of vision about fund-raising as his primary function. This created a problem in the college because past deans had focused mainly on meeting day-to-day faculty needs.This new dean was never there. He was running around the country trying to raise money for research. But he was not attending to the day-to-day things as the previous dean had. The faculty,who were used to working with the person at the top,had to work through his administrative assistant. The faculty became so upset with his absence that they sent a delegation to the president of the university to demand a new dean or a fundamental change in his leadership style. The president,who knew what the dean was doing, said,”Relax.He has a good administrative assistant.Give him some more time.” Within a short time, the money started pouring in and the faculty began to recognize the vision. It wasn’t long until every time they saw the dean, they would say,”Get out of here!We don’t want to see you. Go out and bring in more funds.Your administrative assistant runs this office better than anyone else.” This man admitted to me later that the mistake he made was not doing enough team building ,enough explaining, enough educating about what he was trying to accomplish.From him I learned a powerful lesson. We need to constantly be asking ourselves,”What is needed out there, and what is my unique strength?” 16. The new dean thought that the most important thing for him to do was to _Ｄ____. A.gain a sense of vision C.win the trust of the faculty B.set up a primary goal D. raise money 17.The new dean was different from the past deans in that ___Ｂ_____. A.he was less responsible B.he didn’t attend to daily things C.he had an administrative assistant D.he didn’t like to talk with others 18.We can learn from the passage that the faculty __Ｂ___. A.was not well paid for their work B.didn’t understand the new dean’s ideas at first C.had a conflict with the president of the university D.didn’t want to work with the administrative assistant 19. The faculty would ask the new dean to get out because they ____Ａ___. A.were upset by his leadership style B.wanted to get rid of him C.were unhappy with his explanation D.wanted him to bring back more money 20.What was the mistake the new dean realized he had made?Ｃ A.He was absent all the year around.
