【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了应对不断挑战你观点的同事的几个方法。
45.根据上文"It can be difficult to develop an environment of teamwork when you continually run up against a colleague who challenges your views."(当你不断遇到一个挑战你观点的同事时,很难建立一个团队合作的环境。)说明遇到不断挑战你观点的同事。以及下文"This will ensure you respect one another,even when you disagree."(这将确保你尊重彼此,即使你们意见相左。)说明结果。故可推断空格处内容为找到解决问题的方法。结合选项F项Just find ways to make peace and communicate with your colleague.(只要找到与同事和平相处的方法。)符合此推断,起到上下文的承上启下作用,上下文语意连贯。故选F项。
46.根据上文"If a co-worker habitually challenges your ideas in a group discussion in a confrontational manner,don't engage him or get into an argument.Pause for a moment,look the colleague in the eye."(如果同事经常在小组讨论中以对抗的方式挑战你的想法,不要和他争论。稍作停顿,看着同事的眼睛。)提到有同事对抗你的想法的话题。以及下文"This will force the co-worker to either repeat his comment in front of everyone with the same level of confrontation,or soften his approach."(这将迫使同事在每个人面前重复他的评论,或者软化他的方法。)说明采用方法的作用和结果。结合选项D项And ask him in a calm voice to repeat what he said.(用平静的声音请他重复一遍他说过的话。)可知,起到上下文的承上启下作用,上下文语意连贯。故选D项。
47.由该题为段落小标题可知,为总结该段内容。该段下文"There's a time and place for everything,including professional disagreements.If a colleague interrupts you or talks over you in an effort to contradict your point or insert (插入) his own opinion,gently remind him that you still have the floor.If the colleague is challenging something you say before you have a chance to address the point,note that as well."(任何事情都有合适的时间和地点,包括职业上的分歧。如果一个同事打断你的话,或者试图反驳你的观点,或者插入他自己的观点,轻轻地提醒他你还有发言权。如果在你有机会解决问题之前,同事对你说的话提出了质疑,也要注意这一点。)可知,讲的是不受同事的影响,坚持自己的观点。结合选项A项Hold your ground.(坚守阵地)意思一致,为总结该段内容。故选A项。
48.根据该段标题"Agree to respect each other."(一致认为要互相尊重。)提到互相尊重。以及下文"Constructive debate and brainstorming can strengthen the overall performance of the entire team.Speak to your colleague at a time when you are emotionally stable."(建设性的辩论和头脑风暴可以加强整个团队的整体表现。在你情绪稳定的时候和你的同事说话。)结合选项G项The bottom line is,colleagues are not going to agree with each other all the time.(底线是,同事们不会总是意见一致。)可知,承接相互尊重的主题,介绍这种尊重的底线。上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
49.根据上文"Prepare rebuttals to address anything your colleague might throw at you."(准备好反驳你的同事可能向你抛出的任何问题。)提到准备反驳的话题。以及下文"It also strengthens your points without being confrontational,and allows you to give him credit for his constructive comments when necessary."(这也可以在不对抗的情况下加强你的观点,并允许你在必要时对他的建设性意见给予肯定。)介绍这样做的好处。结合选项C项This will help you support your own arguments.(这将有助于你支持自己的论点。)可知,可以承接前文准备反驳的话题,和后句一起介绍这样做的好处。上下文语意连贯。故选C项。
