39、也就是说喜欢受到表扬，故E项“Hand out praise when its necessary.(必要的时候表扬别人)”符合上下文语境。12答案B解析根据空后一句“When people are fully responsible，theyll be more likely to find the motivation to complete the task.”可知当人们有责任心的时候，他们会更有动力去完成自己的任务，故B项“Give people responsibility.(赋予人们责任)”符合上下文语境。13答案C解析根据本段内容尤其是第二句“No one likes to fe

40、el like they dont matter.”可知，人们都喜欢被重视的感觉，因此C项“People enjoy feeling like theyre making a difference.”符合上下文语境。14答案G解析由本段第一句“Set realistic goals(设立现实的目标)”可知我们设立的目标必须是能够实现的目标，不能过难也不能过于容易。由空前“设立太容易的目标，难以激发队员们的潜力”及空后内容“得不到达成目标的满足感会失去动力”可知，空处是说设立难以实现的目标，故G项与本段中心思想一致，符合上下文语境。15答案D解析根据空前一句“Keep lines of comm

41、unication open and get to know your team by paying attention to their wants，needs，strengths and weaknesses.”可知，要让人们知道他们有一个很体贴的领导，这样他们才会更加努力地工作。D项“People are smart and they will know when they have a leader that cares and a leader that doesnt.”符合上下文语境。第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读
