An important factor of leadership is attraction. This does not mean attractiveness in the ordinary sense, for that is a born quality 1 our control.

There is a type of authority which can be 4 from behind closed doors, but that is not leadership. 5 there is movement and action, the true leaders is in the forefront and may seem, indeed, to be everywhere at once. He has to become a legend; the 6 for anecdotes, whether true or 7 ; character. One of the simplest devices is to be absent 8 the occasion when the leader might be 9 to be there, enough in itself to start a rumor about the vital business 10 has detained him. To 11 up for this, he can appeal when least expected, giving rise to another story about the interest he can display 12 things which other folks might 13 as trivial. With this gift for 14 curiosity the leader always combines a reluctance to talk about himself.

He never leaves a party 17 he has mentally field a minimum dossier(档案) on 18 present, ensuring that he knows 19 to say when he meets them again. He is not artificially extrovert but he would usually rather listen 20 talk. Others realize gradually that his importance needs no proof.

答案:
1. [答案]B
[解析]本题测试词义搭配。本句译文:领导艺术的一个最重要的因素是吸引力。这不是指普通意义上的吸引力,因为那是一种我们无法控制的天生的品质。beyond one’s control意为“无法控制,在控制力之外”; be in control of意为“持有对……的控制力”;under control意为“在……的控制之下,得到控制”。
2. [答案]C
[解析]本题测试同义词辨析。本句译文:然而,领导者必须是一块磁石,一位能把他人吸引到身边的中心人物。draw to/towards意为“吸引”;drag意为“拖拽,(工作、时间)缓慢而协调地进行”;haul意为“用力拖拉”;unite意为“联合”。
3. [答案]D
[解析]本题测试惯用搭配。考查词组depend on。
4. [答案]C
[解析]本题测试词义搭配。本句译文:在紧闭的门后施展权威,体现不出领导能力。exercise authority(use authority)意为“行使权威”;recognize意为“认出”;respect意为“尊敬”。
5. [答案]A
[解析]本题测试结构搭配。where引导一个地点状语从句,其他选项不符合句意。
6. [答案]B
[解析]本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。本句译文:他必须是一个传奇人物、奇闻轶事(不管是真是假)的中心主题、一个重要角色。subject意为“主题”。
7. [答案]C
[解析]本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。or表示前后词的意思并列,在这应互为反义词,所以选false。注意:wrong和right对应;bad和good对应。
8. [答案]B
[解析]本题测试惯用搭配。本句译文:最简单的策略之一是在众人期盼的场合下缺席,这足以引起谣言,谈论到底是什么重要的事把领导耽搁住了。on the occasion意为“在……场合下/情况下”。
9. [答案]D
[解析]本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。译文:当某领导被大家……的时候,他缺席了,这足以引起谣言,揣测他耽搁的原因。所以是领导“该出席没出席”,只能选expect“期待,盼望”。refuse意为“拒绝”,suspect意为“怀疑”,expel意为“驱逐”,三个选项均不合题意。
10. [答案]A
[解析]本题测试句法分析。后面的定语从句修饰the vital business,而从句中缺少一个主语,因此只能选择which。when和where分别表示时间和地点,作状语不能作主语;what不能引导定语从句。
11. [答案]B
[解析]本题测试惯用搭配。本句译文:为了补偿这次缺席的影响,他在最意想不到的场合出现,引起另一轮关于他的兴趣的猜测,人们会认为他在其他人认为琐碎的事情上显示出兴趣。make up for意为“补偿;弥补”。
12. [答案]B
[解析]本题测试惯用搭配。display/show/express interest in sth. 意为“对……显示出兴趣”。
13. [答案]C
[解析]本题测试词义搭配。view sth.as(regard sth.as)意为“把……认为/当作……”。其他选项在搭配上均错。注意错误选项B,当变成think of…as时与regard…as同义。
14. [答案]C
[解析]本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。相关译文:“此领导具有激发他人好奇心的天赋,但不愿谈论自己。他的兴趣显然在别人身上:他向下属提问,鼓励他们交谈,然后记住所有的相关信息。”inspire意为“激励”。curiosity意为“好奇心”,possess意为“拥有”,decrease意为“减少”,均不符合题意。urge意为“力劝;驱策”,与上文的语气不符。
15. [答案]D
[解析]本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。由上文“这位领导不愿意谈论自己”分析出此句为“他的兴趣在他人”。只有plainly意为“显然地”为正确答案。scarcely意为“简直不/一定不”;obscurely意为“模糊地,含糊难解地”。
16. [答案]B
[解析]本题测试结构搭配。在定语从句中,先行词为特殊词时,后面只能用关系代词that引导,不用which,所以that为正确答案。
17. [答案]C
[解析]本题测试结构搭配。相关译文:直到他在头脑中已经整理好了在场每个人的微型档案后才会离开人群,确信知道下次再遇到他们时要讲什么。
18. [答案]B
[解析]本题测试逻辑性词义搭配。前面已提到“他记住所有他人的相关信息”,所以选与之对应的everyone,“头脑中形成在场每个人的微型档案”。
19. [答案]D
[解析]本题测试结构搭配。D正确,what是兼为先行词的关系代词,等于the thing(s) which。
20. [答案]C
[解析]本题测试结构搭配。本句译文:他骨子里是一位具有外向性格的人,但是他宁愿多听取他人的想法,而不是自己喋喋不休。“would rather…than…”意为“宁可……也不……”。
