5、11-year Alibaba old hand chosen only for his “professional talent.”The history of many countries can be marked by a trend away from dependence on family succession in business, or the belief that qualities of leadership flow through bloodlines.

7、ated in announcing his succession plan.

8、working on these ingredients,” he stated.The companys future will depend on developing a wealth of talent that drives innovation, he said.

13、de New Management.CIt was many years ago. I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale.

14、 her with her brown hair and big, innocent eyes, I could see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. Then I realized that the ending of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to “live happily ever after”.Still deep in my heart I knew that this couldnt always be so. I knew that

15、there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in sorrow and I couldnt comfort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I touched her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those times would be brief and th

16、at she would have joy in her life more often than not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the question.It takes me a lot of years to realize that it is possible to live happily ever after. You just have to do it “one day at a time”. Happiness you see isnt some reward that you get at th

17、e end of your journey. Happiness isnt something that depends on what life you own.

21、oung fathers experience.DBoth honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they wo

22、rk together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University, says,“ Ants arent smart. Ant colonies are.”The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their social behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants ha

23、ve similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity for learning.Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of the co

24、lony know how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send messages to each other by means of a “dance”. Different speed

25、s and movements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new home for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance, the better the new loca

26、tion is.Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of “sameness” and “difference” to accomplish c

27、ertain tasks. Ants take this one step further. Recent American research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants.They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoi

28、d obstacles.As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate(协调) complex actions and accomplish survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance

29、as they go about their everyday activities.12. What do ants and bees have in common?A. They live in similar-sized colonies.B. They make use of collective intelligence.C. They have small leadership groups that make all decisions.D. They use the same methods to communicate with each other.13. What doe

30、s the speed of a bees dance indicate?A. The quality of a new colony location.B. The distance to a neighboring colony.C. The discovery of a new food source.D. The direction to a potential food source.14. In paragraph 4, how does the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable

31、 of learning?A. By using statistics. B. By explaining reasons.C. By referencing opinions. D. By presenting study findings.15. What is the benefit of collective intelligence?A. It allows the colony to reproduce more rapidly.B. It improves work cooperation within the colony.C. It reduces the division

32、of labor among members.D. It enables individuals to teach each other new skills.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。Rising through stages to realize ourselvesMany modern people have the problem that they dont know who they are and what their purpose is. _16_ Once high scho
