Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.In London, over half of the homes built between 1919 and 1980 had one garage. But many are becoming needless. Between 2002 and 2012 the proportion of vehicles kept in garages at night dropped from22% to 14%. This is in part because some households now have more cars than garage space. But it is also because big modern cars do not fit in older garages, says David Leibling, a transport expert. Few rust when left outside, and many are more difficult to steal: between 2003 and 2013 the number of vehicle being stolen in England and Wales fell 76%. Instead, garages now solve a different set of problems.Householders unable to move to larger homes have taken to filling their garages with unnecessary and unwanted things. Some garages have been converted for aging parents for their convenience, says Paul Bishop, who runs a garage conversion company in Bedfordshire. Also, some young people unable on unwilling to leave home may have an option to live in the garage. In addition, a garage may be rented too young folks fond of music. It is more often than not, an ideal place to freely play music.However, many publicly owned garages lie empty. Of the 6,000 garages owned by Hackney council around 40% are free. Over 3,000 garages owned by ten housing associations are unused and the land they take up is unfit for building homes upon, says Steve OConnell, a councilor(议员) at the London Assembly. He thinks they could be tuned into small offices. That has already happened in places such as Berlin.Nevertheless converting garages can be troublesome, says Bill Hodgson of University College London. Few councils are enthusiastic enough to truly support the idea and put it into practice. A recent proposal tum some garages in north London into shelters for the homeless has been rejected; councilors feared that local residents would not approve. Getting planning permission can be complex, and developing on local authority land is often faced with various kinds of problems. Like the garages themselves, these plans may be useless and abandoned.(1) (单选题)In the viewpoint of David Leibling, many garages are unused for vehicles in that.A.the number of vehicles in the garages being stolen decreases by 76%B.big modern vehicles are covered with rust when placed in the garagesC.big modern vehicles do not suit older garagesD.some families have more garages than vehicle(2) (单选题)What does Paul Bishop say about garage conversion?A.The converted garages provide an easy life for old parents.B.It is more difficult to convert the garage for aging people.C.Empty garages can be used to settle social problems.D.Aging parents fill their garages with useless things.(3) (单选题)For some young people, the needless garage .A.is rented by them to make moneyB.is seen as a choice of accommodationC.is perfect to store music instrumentsD.is an ideal place to freely host parties(4) (单选题)What do we learn about publicly owned garages?A.40% of them are rented free of charge to the councilors.B.Many of them have been pulled down to make way for houses.C.40% of garages owned by Hackney council have been occupied.D.Many of them in Berlin have been converted into small offices.(5) (单选题)What do we learn from the last paragraph?A.Few councilors are opposed to the conversion proposal.B.Local residents permit the homeless to live in the garages.C.The local authority agrees with the planning of garage conversion.D.It is complicated to obtain the planning consent to the conversion.

  • The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

  • question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

  • The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.

The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
