Just 5 minutes to make another person feel overjoyed! __4__, in our “instant” world, the idea of getting an actual pen and writing an actual note seems to never come to mind. We tend to do what is __5__ to us—a quick text or an email.

He __9__ fixing that by doing some simple things that probably not __10__ in any MBA class. For one thing, Conant wrote to every __11__.

Ⅱ.完形填空
【语篇解读】 作者从小就被教育要用手写感谢信对他人表达谢意。通过 Douglas Conant 的例子,作者进一步说明小小的感谢信会带来很大的影响。
1.D 考查名词辨析。根据空前的 thank­you note 可知,该处是说通过手写感谢信表达谢意。concern“关注”;sympathy“同情”;affection“爱情,钟爱”,均与语境不符。D项意为“欣赏;感激”,符合语境。
2.B 考查动词辨析。根据空后的“...in the art and value of saying ‘thank you’.”可知,妈妈会教导“我”说谢谢。consult“查阅;请教”;answer“回答,答复”;impress“给……留下印象”,均与语境不符。B项意为“教导”,符合语境。
3.B 考查动词辨析。根据空后的to be right 可知,她的教导后来证明是对的。remain“剩余,保持”,appear“出现,似乎”;claim“断言,声称”,均与语境不符。B项意为“后来被发现是;最终证明为”,符合语境。
4.A 考查连词/副词辨析。根据空后的“...in our ‘instant’ world, the idea of getting an actual pen and writing an actual note seems to never come to mind.”可知,此处指出“似乎没有人考虑拿起笔写感谢信”,这和上文介绍手写感谢信有好处之间是转折关系。therefore“因此”;so“那么”;otherwise“否则”,均与语境不符。A 项意为“然而”,符合语境。
5.C 考查形容词辨析。根据下文a quick text or an email可知,此处是说“我们趋向于做便捷的事情”。special“特别的,特殊的”; necessary“有必要的”;important“重要的”,均与语境不符。C项意为“便利的;方便的”,符合语境。
6.C 考查形容词辨析。根据空后所举的知名企业高管的例子可知,该处是说“非常成功的商人都能找到时间写感谢信”。humorous“幽默的,诙谐的”;optimistic“乐观的”;experienced“有经验的”,均与语境不符。C项意为“成功的”,符合语境。
7.A 考查动词辨析。根据空后的 thank­you notes可知,该处是说“非常成功且忙碌的商人都能找到时间写感谢信”。receive“接到,收到”; design“设计”;deliver“递送”,均与语境不符。A项意为“写”,符合语境。
8.A 考查动词辨析。根据下文“...morale (士气) was at an all­time low.”可知,该处是说“公司已经失去了一半的市场价值”。gain“获得”;develop“发展”;damage“损害,破坏”,均与语境不符。A项意为“失去”,符合语境。
9.C 考查动词短语辨析。根据空后的 fixing that by doing some simple things 可知,此处是说他开始做一些简单的事情,以解决这个问题。give up“放弃”;keep up“保持”;worry about“担心”,均与语境不符。C项意为“开始;着手”,符合语境。
10.B 考查动词辨析。根据空后的“...in any MBA class.”可知,该处是说“这些事情在工商管理学硕士(MBA),课堂可能不会教”。permit“允许”;check“检查”;test“考验;试验”,均与语境不符。B项意为“教;教导”,符合语境。
11.D 考查名词辨析。根据下文“...Conant wrote over 30,000 notes to employees.”可知,该处是说“Conant 写信给每个雇员”。market“市场,集市”;businessman“商人”;company“公司”,均与语境不符。D项意为“雇员”,符合语境。
12.A 考查形容词辨析。根据上文内容可知,该处是说“很难不问他是怎么做到的”。great“很好的,美好的”;amazing“令人惊异的”; disappointing“令人失望的”,均与语境不符。A项意为“困难的”,符合语境。
13.D 考查短语辨析。根据下文he had many other things to do可知,该处是说“毕竟他有很多事情要做”。as usual“像往常一样”;in short“总之”;by the way“顺便问一下”,均与语境不符。D项意为“毕竟”,符合语境。
