They learn languages, history, geography, physics,chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living.School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school;no matter how much the teacher knows, he cannot teach his students everything they want toknow. The teacher's job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read andhow to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula( 公式).It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it isvery difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such asEinstein, Newton and Galileo didn't get everything from school. But they were all sosuccessful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is thatthey knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They worked hard alltheir lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions at what they readand they did thousands of experiments.（1）What do many people go to school for?A.Teaching.B.ooks.C.Learning languages.D.An education（2）The teacher's job is to teach ______.A.everything the students want to knowB.students everything he knowsC.students some facts or formulasD.students the methods of learning（3）Einstein, Newton and Galileo did so many things for mankind because _______.A.they learned a lot at schoolB.they learned everything inside and outside schoolC.they were so usefulD.they went to college and learned from professors18. 根据短文理解，选择正确答案。Today, air travel is far safer than driving a car on a busy motorway. But still there is a dangerthat grows every year. Airliners get larger and larger. Some airplanes can carry over 300passengers. And the air itself becomes more and more crowded. If one large airliner struckinto another in midair, 600 lives could be lost.From the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched onradar screens. Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb andwhen to come down.The air traffic controllers around a busy airport like London, Heathrow may deal with 2,500planes a day. Not all of them actually land at the airport. Any plane that flies near the airportcomes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small mistake on their part could causea terrible accident.Recently such a disaster almost happened. Two large jets were flying towards the airport. Onewas carrying 69 passengers from Toronto, the other 176 passengers from Chicago. An airtraffic controller noticed on his radar（雷达） screen that the two planes were too close toeach other. He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb. But he made a mistake. Heordered the wrong plane to do this. So, instead of turning away from the second plane the firstplane turned towards it. Fifteen seconds later, it flew directly in front of the second plane.They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. The distance between them was lessthan that of a large swimming pool. This is an example of the danger that grows every year.（1）The air traffic controllers of an airport _______.A.control all the planes flying near the airportB.give orders to planes leaving the airportC.only deal with the planes that want to land thereD.are allowed to handle 250 planes a day（2）The danger of air crashes（碰撞） grows every year because ________.A.airliners are getting larger and air traffic is becoming heavierB.a pilot does not always hear a controller's orderC.a controller is likely to make more and more mistakesD.airports can hardly serve the growing number of airplanes（3）The example in the passage is to show that _______.A.air traffic controllers are often carelessB.air traffic controllers should pay much attention to avoiding accidentsC.it is difficult for airplanes to avoid terrible accidentsD.two planes should not fly too close to each other19. 根据短文理解，选择正确答案。I once had a hard time making a living in France.

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.
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.

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. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. 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.
