It's an important skill for almost every employee to have. Your ability to do your job is dependent upon others getting your work done, and others depend on you to get their work done. Communicate well. Lack of communication is one of the biggest reasons of a team's failure. Seek input from team members so they feel like a valuable part of the team. Communication establishes trust among team members. In addition, communicating well can help prevent and resolve conflict. Meet regularly to keep members involved and aware of your work progress. Post decisions where everyone in the team can see them. Be flexible. In teamwork, priorities and responsibility can change instantly. Stay ready to shift focus. Training team members to be able to do parts of other team members' jobs can be a valuable part of teamwork; being flexible helps to build appreciation for all the parts of the team. Meet deadlines. Work hard to ensure you meet established deadlines when you work in a team environment. Others are depending on your work. Negotiate timelines with your teammates at the start of a project. Doing so allows you to have a say in how work gets accomplished. Establish accountability. All team members must be responsible for the success and failure of the project. Although not every team needs a leader, teams require a formal way to ensure everyone does his part. Try using meetings to report on progress. Celebrate accomplishments and encourage the team. Senior executives may not always recognize the importance of some team members' work. Share congratulations at team meetings and talk about whose work is invaluable in helping you get your work done. 语篇解读:本文主要讲述了提高团队工作效率的方法和策略。 1.What can you conclude from the first paragraph?

D.Being a member of a team means your work is interdependent. 解析:选D 段落大意题。根据文章第一段的最后一句可知,作为团队一员意味着分工合作、相互依赖,故选D。 2.Which of the following deeds does not contribute to effective teamwork?

A.How to Succeed in Communicating with Others B.How to Work Effectively in a Team Environment C.Ways to Work Well in Completing Projects D.Ways to Improve the Efficiency of Employees 解析:选B 标题归纳题。根据本文的关键词“teamwork”并结合全文的整体内容可推知,本文主要讲的是提高团队工作效率的方法和策略。故选B。 B (2019•太原一模)Recently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina. We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer “psychological first aid” and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude (感激) from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadn't really done anything yet. I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend's mother passed away unexpectedly. I received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didn't want to intrude (打扰) on this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, “Just go. Just be there.” I did, and I will never regret it. Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDSrelated dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others' presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive. In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It not only is something we give to others but also changes me for the better. 语篇解读:本文主要讲述了“我”通过一些活动意识到“到场”的重要意义。 5.Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author? A.He built shelters for them. B.He gave immediate first aid to them. C.He came to stay with them. D.He brought mental health professionals. 解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句可知,因为“我”在他们受灾时和他们在一起,所以他们感激“我”,故C项正确。 6.What did the author do when his friend's mother passed away? A.He hesitated over whether to go. B.He went to his friend's at once. C.He knew what to do instantly. D.He decided not to disturb his friend. 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I wanted to rush down there immediately ...I was torn about what to do.”可知,“我”想要立即去朋友那里,但又不愿意去打扰朋友,据此可知,当朋友的母亲去世时,“我”犹豫是否要去朋友那里。 7.What does the underlined word “solemn” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Heavy but warm. B.A little sad but cosy. C.Relaxing and delightful. D.Very serious and unhappy. 解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句中的“His family, playing guitars and singing”可知,男青年的家人在弹奏吉他并唱歌;结合画线词所在句中的“However ...no means”和第三段第二句中的“a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDSrelated dying”可以判断,在家人的陪伴下,气氛并不悲伤和严肃,据此可以判断,画线词意为“严肃的”,故D项正确。 8.What has the author learned from his experience? A.A friend in need is a friend indeed. B.Being present can make a big difference. C.The family harmony is the happiest thing in life. D.Being a volunteer can make one's life more significant. 解析:选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段的前两句“In my life, I am repeatedly ...are truly alone.”并结合第二段的第一句可知,从自己的经历中“我”意识到了“到场”的重要意义,故B项正确。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 (2019•郑州市第一次质量预测) Do People Need Small Talk to Be Happy? Psychologists (心理学家) have long said that connecting with others is an important part of happiness, but just how much conversation we require is under examination. In one study, researchers found that small talk made up only 10% of their conversation related to happiness. __1__ Scientists believe that small talk could promote bonding. Late last year, Princeton researchers reported that small talk keeps closeness with loved ones, and isn't merely the stuff of awkward exchanges with strangers. Still, chatting with strangers could brighten your morning. In a series of experiments, psychologists gave Chicago passengers different directions about whether to talk with fellow passengers — something they typically avoided. __2__ None of the chatters reported being rejected. Small talk can also help us feel connected with our surroundings.
