On the bank were sitting a number of frogs, who, when they heard the noise of the hares as they ran, jumped into the water together quickly and hid themselves in the depths.

Then one of the older hares who was wiser than the rest cried out to his companions, “Stop, my friends, take heart; don’t let us destroy ourselves after all: see, here are creatures who are afraid of us, and who must, therefore, be still more timid (胆小的) than us.” 【写作内容】

Lacking the courage to face difficulties or dangers around them, a group of hares intend to end their lives, only to find they are stronger than some others like frogs.

The story sets me thinking of my once experience, where I participated in an English speech contest. However, I had no faith in myself and narrowly gave up. Eventually, encouraged by my teacher, I built up courage and should have won the first place. The experience made me aware that facing difficulties, we should try our best to solve them instead of escaping the reality.

As senior school students, I think, we should first have a correct attitude towards difficulties and admit they are there to help us grow. In addition, we are supposed to believe in ourselves and have confidence to overcome them. Lastly, we can turn to teachers, parents or friends for advice, which in turn will help us a lot.

56. C 细节理解题 根据第一段描述所用的一些词语“not an honorable man 不是一个受

敬 仰的人”,“traitor 叛徒”，“in cold blood 冷血”等可以得出答案为cruel 残忍的。Superior 意为较高的（级别、地位）; 较好的（在质量等方面）; 较多的（数量）; 上等的; rude 意为粗鲁的。

57. D 细节题 根据第二段的一些用词“well-known advisers to the White House 著名的白宫顾问”,”management training business 管理训练商业”，可以知道答案是与leadership 管理有关。其中leadership（领导）和management 是同义词。

58. B 细节理解题 根据“Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader.相反，他们强调年轻人的故事。这些年轻人能够抓 住机会以及成为有能力的领导” 可以知道答案是强调抓住机会的重要性。其中highlight强调和emphasize 是同义词，seizes opportunity 和catch opportunities 是同义词。

59. A 推理题，纵观全文，本文提到的一个是莎士比亚，以及是Adelmans所创立的一个培训商业，这个培训主要是管理有关，也与领导有关。所以答案是D Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field.（莎士比亚在管理领域也起着重要作用）。

60. B 标题题 四个选项的意思分别是A. Shakespeare’s plays: Executives reconsider corporate culture （莎士比亚戏剧：管理层重新认识企业文化）；B. Shakespeare’s plays: An essential key to business success （莎士比亚戏剧：成功商业的关键）；C. Shakespeare’s plays: a lesson for business motivation（莎士比亚戏剧：商业动机的一节课）；D. Shakespeare’s plays: Dramatic training brings dramatic results（莎士比亚戏剧：戏剧的训练带来喜剧的结果）。标题题选择的正确答案是简练高度概括，而且以文章主题相关，综合这几个因素只有D选项才符合，其他选项，要么和主题无关，要么就是扩大了范围。
