2014职称英语理工类模拟练习试题之补全短文

　　You Need Courage!

　　Shortly after I began a career in business，I learned that Carl Weatherup president of PepsiCo (百事可乐公司), was speaking at the University of Colorado. I tracked down the person handling his schedule and managed to get myself an appointment.46

　　So there I was sitting outside the university's auditorium, waiting for the president of PepsiCo. I could hear him talking to the students... and talking, and talking.47 He was now five minutes over, which dropped my time with him down to 10 minutes. Decision time.

　　I wrote a note on the back of my business card, reminding him that he had a meeting. “You have a meeting with Jeff Hoye at 2: 30 pm.” I took a deep breath, pushed open the doors of the auditorium and walked straight up the middle aisle (过道) toward him as he talked. Mr. Weatherup stopped. 48 Just before I reached the door, I heard him tell the group that he was running late. He thanked them for their attention, wished them luck and walked out to where I was now Sitting, holding my breath.

　　49 He spent the next 30 minutes offering me his time, some wonderful stories that I still use, and an invitation to visit him and his group in New York. But what he gave me that I value the most was the encouragement to continue to do as I had done. 50 When things need to happen, you either have the nerve to act or you don't.

　　A　I began breathing again and we grabbed (霸占) an office right there at school and closed the door.

　　B　As I sat listening to him, I knew that I could trust him, and that he deserved every bit of loyalty I could give to him.

　　C　I became alarmed: his talk wasn't ending when it should have.

　　D　He said that it took nerve for me to interrupt him, and that nerve was the key to success in the business world.

　　E　I was told, however, that he was on a tight schedule and only had 15 minutes available after his talk to the business class.

　　F　I handed him the card then I turned and walked out the way I came

　　46　E文章的第一段谈到，“我”得知百事公司的老总要在科罗拉多大学讲学，就设法得到了约见他的机会。接下去应该是E，这是一个转折，“我”虽然得到了约见他的机会，但在他作完演讲之后却只有15分钟的时间。所以，在第二段的开头才会出现：“我”在大学礼堂外面等候的描述。E与前后连贯，所以是答案。

　　47　C第二段开头描述“我”在礼堂外面等候的情况。第二个句子谈到，“我”能听到他给学生们讲话，他讲啊讲……最后一个句子提到，他已经超过了五分钟了。在第二句和最后一句之间应该是C，“我大为吃惊，他该停的时候没停”。

　　48　F第三段讲“我”在名片后面写了个便条提醒他还有个约会，然后推开门，向他走去。接下去很自然应该是F，把名片递给他。

　　49　A第四段谈到，百事的老总看了看名片，又看了看我，……他笑了。他笑了，说明他同意和我谈话，所以，接下去应该是A。

　　50　D第五段第二个句子谈到，他所给“我”的也是“我”最珍视的，就是他鼓励“我”继续按照“我”做过的做法做。“我”作过的做法就是有胆量打断一个总裁的演讲，所以，接下去应该是D，是总裁对“我”所作鼓励的具体内容。
