第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Regardless of how far we’d like to believe gender（性别）equality in the workplace has come, there’s still a yawning gap between male and female leaders in the professional world. A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hold just 5.8 percent of CEOs positions at S&P 500 companies, according to Catalyst.
While it’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 Oyvind L. Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed (调查) 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 leadership-centric categories.
While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders — probably because they picture a leader with a commanding voice, which is more typical of men than women — this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goal-setting, openness, sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to communicate clearly.
There was one area in which men scored higher than women, though, and that was on emotional stability and ability to face job-related pressure and stress. The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of high-pressure or highly emotional situations.
Obviously, it’s important to consider individual (个人的) differences. Anyone, regardless of gender, may be an inspiring leader and a competent boss. But next time you’re hiring for a management position, you just might want to give the resumes (简历) from female candidates a harder look.
1、（小题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 nearly every field.
2、（小题2）Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “inherently” in Paragraph 4?
A．properly B．potentially
C．naturally D．normally
3、（小题3）Which of the following may be the best title of this text?
A．How We Can Figure Out The Boss
B．Why Women Are Better Than Men
C．Why Women Make The Best Bosses
D．How We Can Tell Gender Difference
4、（小题4）Who might have special interest in this article?
A．Job hunters.
B．Employers.
C．Employees.
D．Male bosses.

B
I am trying to muster (鼓起) the courage to____my mobile phone to enjoy a more peaceful and ring­free life.
Can you imagine not having your mobile phone? In our high­tech, in­a­hurry age, a cell­free life is a hard concept to swallow. Our mobile phones can now access the Internet, and many people feel the need to express their every thought on their blog pages. If I gave up my cellphone, people would think I was mad.
I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology. I have an office phone, a home phone，an e­mail and if people want to contact me, they can. If I’m out，people can leave a message. Do they really need to find me 24/7？However, I’m a bit like Frodo in the movie Lord of the Rings. The power of the ring is too strong and I can’t let it go.
Mobile phones have become necessary tools in our busy life. For most people, they hold all contacts and many of us don’t write up address books any more. The latest phones carry our music, pictures, movies and everything else. We feel lost without this device and when we do misplace it, we feel cut off from our fellow.
“Where have you been？” said a friend, who saw me a week after I lost my cellphone, “I tried calling you, but you disappeared. You disappeared off the face of the Earth.” See, when you don’t have a mobile phone, you don’t exist.
I’m not really going to toss my mobile phone away, in fact. We humans are such social animals and mobile phones serve us well. So in 2009, I’ve decided not to serve my mobile phone. Like all machines, I can always turn it off.
1、What does the underlined phrase “toss away” mean?
A．give away B．get away C．break away D．throw away
2、writer mentions Frodo to________.
A．show it is difficult to get rid of the mobile phone
B．show how much he likes Frodo
C．suggest a cell­free life is what he wants
D．introduce a film character to us
3、do we know about mobile phones in the 4th paragraph?
A．Mobile phones can do anything for us.
B．Mobile phones have become very important in our life.
C．We could not live without mobile phones.
D．We would be cut off by our fellow without mobile phones.
4、can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The writer is not really going to toss his mobile phone away.
B．When you don’t have a mobile phone，you don’t exist.
C．The writer decides not to serve his mobile phone.
D．We humans can control ourselves and machines.
