一、阅读理解。
Winston Churchill is probably the most popular British prime minister ever. Having served as a soldier and politician, he is often considered among the greatest of Britons. While his heroic stand against the Nazis is well know, there are still a few facts about the popular politician that might surprise you.
His Cigars
The classic image of Winston Churchill includes a giant cigar stuck between his lips. Churchill developed his love of cigars as a young man, when he traveled to Cuba. For the rest of his life, he smoked eight or nine cigars every day. However, he almost never took a puff(吸，抽), preferring to chew on the end until it went out, then relight it and start again. To prevent the cigar becoming soggy (湿软的), Churchill invented the ＂bellybando＂, a strip of brown paper which could be glued around the end.
At any given time, Churchill had 3,000 to 4,000 cigars in his house, mostly his favorite Romeo & Juliet brand. On one occasion, the president of Cuba presented Churchill with 2,400 top-quality cigars, although his security team insisted one cigar from each box be sent off and tested for poison. Perhaps the story that best shows his love of cigars occurred during World War II, when he had a special oxygen mask designed so that he could still smoke his cigar on a high-altitude flight.
His Black Dog
Throughout his life, Churchill probably suffered from depression, which he called his ＂black dog＂. At times, his depression was so severe that he didn’t like standing close to a passing train or looking at the ocean from a ship because he feared that he would commit suicide.
When he was depressed, Churchill would almost spend a great deal of time in bed and lose his ability to concentrate. However, when not depressed, Churchill was full of energy, usually working and talking until the early hours of the morning. He often described how ＂all the colors come back into the picture＂.
1. Why did Churchill’s security team insist on checking the cigars?
A. To test if they were safe for Churchill.
B. To see if they were of the best quality.
C. To make sure they were Churchill’s favorite.
D. To guarantee they were not out of date.

A. He fell in love with cigars at a young age.
B. He smoked many cigars every day.

D. He had an oxygen mask specially designed for smoking.
3. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?

Suddenly, it seemed she was on her 9 as an author.

She did the hard work and sent it off again. “I got back a really brief letter：‘Thank you, I’m no longer interested.’ It was really 14 ．”
A decade went by, and Moira found herself eager to write again, this time 15 for her own enjoyment. She 16 herself the challenge of creating a thriller and chose Western Australia as her setting.
As she was writing just for herself, something surprising began to happen. “The characters 17 a life of their own; they started doing things I hadn’t thought about. It just 18 out.” One day, an agent called from Australia. Three weeks later, Moira had a publication deal. Her novel, Cicada, was published in March.

【解题导语】 本文通过Moira爱好写作并坚持写作的故事告诉我们：每个人都要为实现自己的梦想而去努力尝试，只有经历过才能够有所得，在追求的过程中不要过于担心结果，只有这样才能成功。
1．A.learnt B．avoided

2．A.actively B．professionally
C．energetically D．permanently
B 解析：根据生活常识及该句中的关键词“never a possibility”可知，把写作当作职业来追求几乎是不可能的。actively“积极地”；professionally“作为职业地”；energetically“精力充沛地”；permanently“永久地”。
3．A.influential B．explicit

现场走动管理是餐厅日常管理的重中之重，本人一直坚持当班期间严格按照二八原则进行时间分配(百分之八十的时间在管理区域现场，百分之二十的时间在做信息收集和管理总结)，并直接参与现场服务，对出现的问题给予及时的纠正和提示，对典型问题进行详细记录，共性问题分析根源，制定相应的培训计划，堵塞问题漏洞，加强工作记录、考核检查表的登记；领班主管根据值班责任划分自己管辖区域，主要针对班前准备、班中督导、班后检评作书面记录，餐前准备充分性与客人个性需求作相应的指点和提醒服务，设备设施的完好状况，员工精神状态的调整。
3、提升部分主题宴会服务的质量，从菜单的设计打印到配套餐具与调料的准备，特别是上菜的语言服务设计将是整个服务的点缀和装饰，开盘菜的欢迎词导入，餐中重头菜肴的介绍宣传，主食供应时的再次祝福，将时刻突出主人对主宾的尊敬热情，也通过此举服务让客人在心里更加加强对朋友盛情的美好回忆，真正达到客人宴请的物质精神双重享受。
4、建立完善信息收集制度，降低投诉与提高存酒的信赖度
根据上半年收集的案例汇总看基本集中在客人对存酒的凝虑，由于当时信息记录单一不全面导致客人对自己的酒水存放不放心，后经部门开会加强细化存酒服务流程，特别注重值台员、吧台的双向记录要求及自带酒水的饮用与存放的书面记录，以此避免了客人心中的顾虑，查询时可以第一时间告知客人排除凝虑。吧台人员在货架的分类上创新编号排放便于快
速查找，起到了良好的效果。
5、班会组织趣味活动，展示餐厅各项技能
为营造快乐班会快乐工作的氛围，餐厅经常以活动的形式来组织趣味游戏，虽然时间短暂但是收获多多，拓展PK小游戏配备奖励式处罚，融洽气氛、消除工作中的隔阂，提高相互之间的信赖度有着推波助澜的作用，包括每月的消防突击演练以真正检验全员的真实性效果，提高处变不惊的能力和处理突发事件的反应，当然托盘摆台技能的比拼才是我们真正的专业，从时间与质量考验选手的日常基本功，提高服务效率。
6、开展各类员工培训，提升员工综合素质
本年度共开展了班会全员培训相对多一点达到46场次，业务式技能培训11场，新人入职培训5场，领班主管的自主专题培训海底捞进行4场，通过培训来达到思想意识的提高，拓展管理思路，开阔行业视野。
