The everyday signs of conscientiousness （认真尽责） —being punctual，careful in doing work，self-disciplined，and scrupulous （一丝不苟的） in attending to responsibilities —are typical characteristics of the model organizational citizen，the people who keep things running as they should.They follow the rules，help out，and are concerned about the people they work wjye.aih.It's the conscientious worker who helps newcomers or updates people who return after an absence，who never abuses sick leaves，who always gets things done on deadline.
Conscientiousness is a key to success in any field.In studies of job performance，outstanding effectiveness for almost all jobs，from semi-skilled labor to sales and management，depends on conscientiousness.It is particularly important for outstanding performance in jobs at the lower levels of an organization：the secretary whose message taking is perfect，the delivery truck driver who is always on time.Conscientiousness also offers a buffer （缓冲） against the threat of job loss in today's constantly changing market，because employees with this quality are among the most valued.
But conscientiousness in the absence of social skills can lead to problems.Since conscientious people demand so much of themselves，they can hold other people to their own standards，and so be overly judgmental when others don't show the same high levels of model behavior.Factory workers in Great Britain and the United States who were extremely conscientious，for example，tended to criticize co-workers even about failures that seemed unimportant to those they criticized，which damaged their relationships.
When conscientiousness takes the form of living up to expectations，it can discourage creativity.In creative professions like art or advertising，openness to wild ideas and spontaneity （自发性） are scarce and in demand.Success in such occupations calls for a balance，however；without enough conscientiousness to follow through，people become mere dreamers，with nothing to show for their imaginativeness.
【考点】概要写作．
【答案】Conscientious people have a lot in common：they are strict with themselves and helpful to others while at work.On the one hand，conscientiousness contributes to better job performances especially for those who work at lower levels and therefore means lower chance of unemployment.On the other hand，for lack of adequate social skills and novel ideas，their relationship with co-workers can be unpleasant and their work less satisfactory.

1．Directions：Read the following three passages.Summarize the main idea and the main point（s）of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible.
New Year's Resolution Every time a new year rolls around，people set out to better themselves.They promise they will lose weight，find a new job，or maybe even take that vacation they've always talked about.But why do we make these promises to ourselves，and where did this tradition come from？Why does this tradition live on when so many people fail to keep the resolutions they make Well，we can start by blaming the ancient Babylonians.
Around 4，000 years ago in Babylon，the earliest recorded celebration honoring the coming of a new year was held.The collective ceremonial events lasted 11 days.The Babylonians felt this would help them start the new year off on the right foot.Resolutions continued on with the Romans.Julius Caesar decided to make a change.He consulted with the best astronomers and mathematicians of the time and introduced a calendar which more closely represents the modern calendar we use today.Caesar declared January 1 the first day of the year to mark new beginnings.
To this day the traditions of the ancient Babylonians and Romans continue on around the world.So much so that a website event launched a Resolution Map in 2013 where people could add resolutions and see others adding theirs in real time.The most common new year wishes are Lose Weight，Get Organized，Save More Money，Enjoy Life，Stay Healthy，Learn Something New，Quit Smoking，Help Others Pursue Their Goals，and Spend More Quality Time With Family Members.
However，how many resolutions finally come true？No matter how many people participate in the project，only few can maintain their resolutions；only eight percent of people are successful in sticking them out.If those fail resolutions look familiar and remind you that the whole concept is a complete failure，or if they inspire you to create your own list of promises for a new year，just remember that this tradition is destined to live on.We have 4，000 years of history telling us so and that's a statistic that's hard to argue with.发布：2025/1/1 10:0:1组卷：7引用：2难度：0.5 -
2．阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
The World Rice Conference has voted Cambodian rice the best rice in the world.Cambodia produced just one percent of the world's rice.It is trying to increase that amount，and the award may help.
The country's rice industry is small and not well-organized.As a result，large amounts of unprocessed rice are sent to Thailand and Vietnam where it is sold for a higher price.But rice means a lot to Cambodia's economy.Many Cambodians survive in part by growing rice on small pieces of land.
Sok Puthyvuth is the president of Cambodia Rice Federation. "We need better seeds，we need a better collection process，we need better storage，we need better logistics（物流），and also our export needs to brand Cambodian rice to be one of the top brands in the world." Keat Chhon is Cambodia's former deputy prime minister.He says increasing rice export will improve the lives of many of the country's farmers.He says the purpose of the rice policy is to reduce poverty and help people in rural areas earn more.This is highly beneficial to making the development gap between rural and urban areas in Cambodia smaller.
But exporter David Van says the country's rice industry continues to suffer from the same problems it has had for many years.He says these include the high cost of electricity and a lack of good seeds.And he says the country's rice industry needs to change the way it markets its product to show it is different from what other countries offer. "You need to differentiate your product from that of your competitor next door.Otherwise，your product will continue being compared automatically to what the next-door competitor is offering." Cambodia faces other problems as well.Countries like Myanmar also want to increase their rice export.And，Thailand has extra rice，which is forcing down prices.发布：2024/12/10 23:0:1组卷：4引用：1难度：0.3 -
3．阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Speed is very important in avalanche （雪崩）rescues.There will be narrow chances to escape if a skier is buried for 30 minutes or more.Now that 30 minutes can mean the difference between life and death for a skier lost on a snowy mountain，most people would depend on lifesaving dogs.
Noble works as a rescue team member in a vacation land，California.He tells us，"Dogs run fastest when an accident happens." His partner Wylee，a lifesaving dog，can search an accident scene the size of a football field.It only needs 5 to 10 minutes.However，5 rescue team members have to spend a couple of hours in the same area.
Apart from its excellent speed，Noble chooses Wylee as his partner partly because it weighs only about half what other kinds of dogs weigh.Rescue team members have to carry their dogs to search sites in addition to carrying 60 pound backpacks with food，water and other equipment.The dogs need the lift so that don't get tired before they start working.
There aren't adequate data on how often dogs take part in avalanche searches or how often they are able to help local people in danger.But the dogs don't save that many people.That's because there aren't that many to save.A quarter of people in danger die from serious injuries before the snow stops moving.Of those buried who weren't killed by injuries，half die within 20 minutes.If there is a chance of rescue，though，the dogs also cut search time for the remains.
Erica Mueller，a famous director，wanted to see how the lifesaving dogs worked，so she volunteered to spend part of an hour in a roomy snow cave waiting to be found.She was armed with a radio and was wearing several layers to stay warm.After being rescued by Wylee，she said，"I can't talk like a survivor，but it was definitely a cool way to see how well trained those dogs are."发布：2024/12/18 5:30:1组卷：6引用：2难度：0.4
