Have you ever noticed the paper you use in your life？Do you know i？Paper，as one of the four great inventions of our country，can be seen everywhere in our life.Although it is very common now，it experienced a long time to be invented.So we should value it. The invention of paper ended the complex （复杂的） history of ancient writing and greatly promoted （促进） the spread and development of culture. Paper was an important invention in ancient China.Writing was developed gradually from ancient times，when people mainly depended on writing instruments for taking notes.At first，oracle bone （甲骨） was used as a kind of writing material.Bamboo，wood and silk were also discovered and used during the Spring and Autumn Period.But because silk was too expensive and the bamboo pieces were too heavy，paper was produced.Thanks to the invention and popularization of paper，people could no longer use stones，wood，metal and other materials to record writing or pictures，and a large amount of ancient information was spread and preserved （保存）. Paper is very helpful in our life.It is the carrier of writing and printing.Painters use it to paint the beauty of the world，writers use it to tell the warmth of the world，and educators use it to spread knowledge. It is also used for packaging.Harder cardboard is used to pack things，such as delivery boxes.Of course it can also be used for other purposes，such as printing paper and toilet paper. This is paper.I plays a very significant role in our life and is used for all kinds of purposes：to write，to paint…（1）Which of the following cannot be used as a kind of writing material according to the passage？ ____ A.Bamboo.B.Wood.C.Silk.D.Leaves.（2）What can we learn from the passage？ ____ A.People can pack things with hard paper.B.There are three types of paper we use today.C.Paper writing was discovered in the Spring and Autumn Period.D.People didn't use bamboo because it was too expensive.（3）What does the underlined word "significant" mean？ ____ A.Necessary.B.Important.C.Useful.D.Special.（4）Which of the flowing shows the structure （结构） of the passage？ ____ A. ①-|||-②③ ④ ⑤ ⑥B. ①-|||-②③ ④ ⑤ ⑥C. ①-|||-②③ ④ ⑤ ⑥D. ①-|||-②③ ④ ⑤ ⑥（5）What is the writer trying to do in this passage？ ____ B.To introduce the kinds of the paper.A.To tell the usage of the paper.C.To introduce the history of the paper.D.To show the importance of the paper.

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 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Our society places a high value on physical beauty. Americans spend an average of over 722 each year on their appearance. One in ten Americans has tried to look like a star.There's nothing wrong with trying to look our best, but excessive focus on physical appearance misses the soulful aspects of what it means to be beautiful. Trying to look like the magazine pictures can take us on a long ride away from what beauty is really about.Many of us spend far too much time, energy, and money trying to polish an image of what we think will bring attention, love, and connection. In the process, we may fail to attend to ourselves in a way that would move us toward deeper intimacy, fulfillment, and meaning.It may sound trite (老生常谈的), but beauty is only skin deep; it's not what brings love toward us. Just read about the latest Hollywood starlets whose seeming love turns into resentment and bitter court battles.Outer beauty can be as much of a curse as a blessing. We may develop a habit of being so focused on maintaining a perfect appearance that we never cultivate the inner qualities necessary to sustain and deepen intimacy and connection. As I describe in my book, The Authentic Heart, it is the courage to be authentic that connects us in a deeper way.While our initial attraction may be based, in part, on physical chemistry, it is the meeting of our inner worlds that creates the lasting intimacy and spiritual connection for which we long. If we redirect our attention toward cultivating inner qualities, we might find a magnetic attraction that moves us from something superficial to something that connects us to our depths.The path toward cultivating inner beauty is really simple. But what is simple is not always easy. Not everyone will see us and appreciate us as we take the courageous risk to allow ourselves to be seen as we really are. But if they don't, it is their loss, not ours. Eventually we'll find those compatible souls who appreciate us as we are.46. What do we learn about American society from the first paragraph?A. It sees lots of personal income wasted on beauty products.B. It considers one's physical appearance very important.C. It places a high value on the physical fitness of stars.D. It expects every individual to look their very best.47. What happens when people strive to look better?A. They have to get prepared for resentment and bitter court battles.B. They are better able to gain attention, love, and personal connection.C. They may neglect to cultivate the inner qualities that matter more.D. They feel much of their precious time, energy and resources is wasted.48. What does the author say about outer beauty?A. It may be inherited or cultivatedB. It may lead to bad as well as good habits.C. It may create connection or isolation.D. It may do as much harm as good.49. What brings about spiritual connection?A. Meeting of minds.B. Attraction at first sight.C. Physical chemistry.D. Frequent interaction.50. What happens when we take the path toward cultivating inner beauty?A. We may find a route toward other people's souls.B. We may be appreciated more by people around us.C. We will meet people who value us for who we are.D. We will be discouraged from revealing our true selves.

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.

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.
