Question

【題目】Building trust inside your team

A team without trust isn’t really a team: it’s just a group of individuals, working together, often making disappointing progress. 【1】 So how can you, as a leader, help your team to build the trust that it needs to develop? In this article, we’ll look at the issue of trust within teams and what you can do to build it.

Lead by example.

If you want to build trust within your team, then lead by example, and show your people that you trust others. This means trusting your team, your colleagues, and your boss. 【2】 They are taking cues(提示) from your behavior. Take the opportunity to show them what trust in others really looks like.

Know each other personally.

One way to build trust is to encourage your team members to know each other. Think about creating situations that help them to share personal stories, and to bond. 【3】 Start by sharing some personal information about yourself, and then ask someone else about a hobby, or a musical interest.

【4】 .

When people work together, there will be honest mistakes and disappointments, and it’s easy to blame someone for these. However, when everyone starts pointing fingers, an unpleasant atmosphere can quickly develop. This lowers trust, and is finally unproductive.

Discuss trust issues.

If you manage a team that has trust issues, it’s important to find out how these problems originate, so that you can come up with a strategy for overcoming them. Consider giving team members a questionnaire to fill out anonymously(匿名的). 【5】 Once you’ve read the results, get everyone together to talk about these issues.

A.Do not place blame.

B.Try to avoid mistakes and disappointments.

C.Ask them about the reasons for their lack of trust.

D.Do this by asking sensitively about their family or hobbies.

E.Never forget that your team members are always watching you.

F.Instead, encourage everyone to think about the mistake positively.

G.However, when trust is in place, the group can achieve meaningful goals.

【解析】

本文是說明文。文章講述了團隊內(nèi)部的信任問題以及如何建立信任：以身作則；互相認識；不要責(zé)怪；討論信任問題。

【1】根據(jù)空前“A team without trust isn’t really a team: it’s just a group of individuals, working together, often making disappointing progress.（成員之間不信任彼此的團隊并不是真正的團隊：它只是一群人在一起工作，事情的進展經(jīng)常會令人失望。）”和空后“So how can you, as a leader, help your team to build the trust that it needs to develop?（作為領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，您如何才能幫助您的團隊建立團隊發(fā)展所需要的信任？）”可知，G項(但是，只要有了信任，團隊就可以實現(xiàn)有意義的目標。）能夠承接上文并且與下文連接通順�？崭裉幩�在的句子與前一句通過however在語意上進行了轉(zhuǎn)折。故選G項。

【2】根據(jù)空前“If you want to build trust within your team, then lead by example, and show your people that you trust others.This means trusting your team, your colleagues, and your boss.（如果您想在團隊中建立信任，請以身作則，并向您的員工表明您信任他們。這意味著要信任您的團隊，同事和老板）”和空后“They are taking cues(提示) from your behavior.（他們從您的舉動中獲取提示。）”可知，E項(永遠不要忘記您的團隊成員一直在注視著您。）能夠承接上文并且與下文連接通順。您的團隊成員一直在注視著您是以身作則的原因。故選E項。

【3】根據(jù)空前“One way to build trust is to encourage your team members to know each other. Think about creating situations that help them to share personal stories, and to bond.（建立信任的一種方法是鼓勵您的團隊成員相互了解�？紤]創(chuàng)建可以幫助他們分享個人故事并建立聯(lián)系的情境。）”和空后“Start by sharing some personal information about yourself, and then ask someone else about a hobby, or a musical interest.（首先分享一些有關(guān)您自己的個人信息，然后再問某個人的愛好或音樂方面的興趣。）”可知，D項(通過詢問他們的家庭或愛好來做到這一點。）能夠承接上文并且與下文連接通順。該選項的下一句是對選項做法的具體化。故選D項。

【4】空格處是段落標題。根據(jù)該段內(nèi)容“（當(dāng)人們一起工作時，會出現(xiàn)錯誤和令人失望的地方，很容易將這些歸咎于某人。但是，當(dāng)每個人都開始指責(zé)時，很快就會產(chǎn)生不愉快的氣氛。這降低了信任，最終工作的效果就沒有了。）”可知，A項(不要責(zé)怪。）能夠概括本段內(nèi)容。該選項中的blame在段落中出現(xiàn)了。故選A項。

【5】根據(jù)空前“Consider giving team members a questionnaire to fill out anonymously(匿名的).”（考慮給團隊成員一張問卷，讓他們以匿名方式填寫。）和空后“Once you’ve read the results, get everyone together to talk about these issues.（閱讀調(diào)查結(jié)果后，請大家聚在一起討論這些問題。）”可知，C項(向他們詢問缺乏信任的原因。）能夠承接上文并且與下文連接通順。該選項中them指的是前一句中的team members。故選C項。

七選五的解題技巧之一是根據(jù)上下文詞匯來鎖定線索。即：要關(guān)注空白前后的名詞和動詞，然后在選項中查找它們的近義詞、反義詞、同義詞、同類詞等，看是否有同詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。其次是一些專有名詞，數(shù)詞、代詞、時間、年代、地點/名稱等。在本文中，第4小題A選項中的blame在段落中出現(xiàn)了；小題5：C選項中them指的是前一句中的team members。
