In the U.S., we’ve created fridges that give you cold ice at the press of a button, but in Britain they typically serve their tap water warm.This tradition--if that’s what you want to call it--dates back to the 19th century. During that time, it was already commonplace for most American homes to have an ice box. Ice would be harvested in northern America or Canada and shipped across the Atlantic and sold at a high price in British department stores. Can you imagine heading to Macy’s to treat yourself to a block of ice?Putting ice in your drink started to become somewhat of a fashion(时尚)trend for the wealthy in Britain. Some would put a few cubes in their champagne and sip on their chilled drinks at high-class parties. But, like with any fashion trend, it eventually faded, mainly because the ice was just too expensive. And even once ice boxes began appearing in homes in Britain as well, Brits never took a liking to ice in their drinks.So, next time you travel overseas, don't feel offended(被冒犯) when your server gives you an eye roll when you ask for ice water.25. Who has written the text?A. A European B. An American C. A Canadian D. An Asian.26. Why do Europeans take their drinks at room temperature?A. Because they have no fridges. B Because they have warm taps.C. Because they are accustomed to it. D Because they can't afford ice.27. What can we infer about Europeans?A. They have ice boxes later than Americans.B. They don't know where to get ice blocks.C. Wealthy people like to have ice in their drinks.D. Wealthy people always follow what Americans do.28. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Why Americans like icy drinks while Europeans don’ t.B. When people overseas have icy drinks with their meals.C. Where people can entertain themselves with icy drinks.D How Europeans and Americans make different beverage.CMy favorite book, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, talks about a formula called “SFF〞 which stands for “stopping finding faults〞. I used to be a critical person and tried to find faults. I guess I somehow inherited this character from my father. Actually, many good qualities of my father are worth admiring except this.My father is the person who constantly looks for mistakes in other people and he thinks no one is perfect in the world. His character created a negative atmosphere in my family. I was the same as my father, so I often felt angry, disappointed, depressed, and lonely in school.After I had read my favorite book I began to seek “good things〞 in other people. It has completely changed my life. Now I feel happier, I have more friends, I have more trust in people, and I realize everyone has their own strength! Another important lesson I got from this book is that I should always behave myself in a positive manner. Let’s admit that we sometimes complain about our situation. That’s not good. “Believe it or not, people don’t like to listen to negative opinions.〞One more valuable lesson I got from the book is that I should be a good listener. When I was younger, I only wanted people to pay whole attention to my words so that I could show them how important I was. I was very proud and would show off my achievements in school without considering others’ feeling. I had very few friends and most people considered me as an “arrogant〞 person. Now, I find it mush easier to make friends after making some changes!29. Why does the author like the book The Secret?A. Because he’s found the secret of success from it.B. Because the book uncovers the secrets of happiness.C. Because he’s learnt his father’s characters from it.D. Because it helps him change his attitude towards life.30. What do you know about the author’s father?A. He makes his son feel angry and disappointed.B. He likes finding faults with people around him.C. He seems a critical person but in fact easy-going.D. He can create a negative atmosphere when necessary.31. The underlined word “arrogant〞 probably means “______〞.A. self-important B. admirable C. troublesome D. cold-blooded32. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To persuade readers to be good listeners.B. To share his painful changing experience.C. To tell readers the influence of a book on him.D. To show the result of his father’s negative character.DWelcome to Inspire 21Our aim is to provide “Inspiring words for the 21st century〞.

As you plan for your trip, here are some tips on how to protect yourself. 36Fight against the mosquitoes in the hot spots.There are many mosquito-borne illnesses in tropical regions, which are traditionally vacation hot spots. Therefore, mosquito repellent〔驱蚊剂〕that contains DEET should be an essential item in your travel bag.37 .In lesser-developed countries there is less equipment for clean water and public health. If you can't avoid unhealthful water, make sure you bring along a tea or coffee—making pot that will boil water for you. You’d better buy a case or two of water and check that all bottle caps are sealed to assure the bottled water isn't just a refilled bottle of dirty tap water.Always protect your feet.It's best to wear slippers in the shower, but if you must be barefoot, put a towel down on the floor. 38 You should never walk barefoot in any area of a foreign country, including your hotel room.Be sure to eat safe fruits.39 They may have been washed in the same water, or wiped with the same rag used to clean work surfaces in kitchens. The best advice is to bring your own peeler〔削皮器〕so that you know that something clean has been applied to the fruit.Enjoy the smell of roadside stands, not the food.Unless the food is piping hot when served, it’s best to stay away from roadside stands, no matter how good the smell of the food might be. If you are concerned about whether a restaurant is clean, order the food to go. 40 .A. Don't trust the local waterB. Any fruit served fresh may be pollutedC. Look out for any water not served in a bottleD. The boxes may be cleaner than the plate or fork on the tableE. You should know how to keep yourself away from dirty fruitsF. They are necessary to avoid coming back with a major illness from your tripG. Parasites〔寄生虫〕can enter the skin of your feet and travel to different parts of the body
With this video, I want to share with you how to make strawberry cakes with a(n)______ that is easy to follow for all.A. ingredientB. substanceC. recipeD. compound

p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal (margin1:0cm;margin1-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;Calibri;)div.Section1 (page:Section1;)By far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along, doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set timetable. They say that if they did construct a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it, or would have to alter it constantly, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be.No doubt some temperaments take much more kindly to a regular routine than others. There are many who shy away from the self-regimentation（严格控制）of a weekly timetable, and dislike being tied down to a definite programme of work. Many able students claim that they work in cycles. When they become interested in a topic they work on it intensively for three or four days at a time. On other days they avoid work completely. It has to be confessed that we do not fully understand the complexities of the motivation to work. Most people over 25 years of age have been used to a work routine, and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important aspects of their work. The “tough-minded” school of workers is usually very contemptuous （蔑视的） of the idea that good work can only be done spontaneously, under the influence of inspiration.Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom”. Freedom from discipline leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development”. Our society insists on regular habits, timekeeping and punctuality, and whether we like it or not, if we mean to make our way in society we have to comply with its demands. 76. The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is that of _____.A. the failure to keep to a routine of intensive workB. changing from one subject to anotherC. willingness to follow a systematic planD. applying oneself to a subject only when one feels inclined77. Those workers with strict views on work _____.A. are very critical of the belief that good work can be a natural product of instinctB. reject the idea that good work is second nature to manC. do not regard as serious the opinion that good work can be done at any time regardless of inspirationD. pay no attention to the idea that good work can only be done when they are prompted by internal stimulus78. In Paragraph 4 “as the fit takes them” means _____.A. when they have the energy B. when they are in the moodC. when they find conditions suitable D. when they feel fit79. A suitable title for the passage might be _____.A. Attitudes to Study B. Study PlansC. The Difficulties in Study D. Study and Self-discipline.

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 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.
Elder and weaker Mr. Mag paid_visits to his old friends.A. scarceB. rare()C. insufficientD. inadequate
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.
