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.Do you shop for groceries online and have them delivered to your door? Well, this might be just the start of a digital revolution in food.How about tattooed(带有纹身的) fruit, ice cubes which send text messages, and wine from the bottom of the ocean? All these things are on the horizon, according to a global innovation research firm Stylus. They say stickers and wasteful packaging on fruit could be replaced by edible(可食用的) tattoos. These would be applied “directly to the skin of the fruit without actually damaging skin cells,” according to Stylus's senior vice-president of content, Tessa Mansfield.Our kitchens are changing rapidly too, and some companies are cooking up a menu of technological advances. For instance, there's a smart knife which can analyze the freshness of food and any bacteria present as it is being used.Innovative ways to monitor what we consume are always being developed. Mandy Saven, Stylus's head of food, beverage and hospitality, says new digital ice cubes send a text message to a friend if you drink too much alcohol.Indeed, some companies are helping consumers stay healthy and make environmentally-friendly choices. Dutch firm Bilder&De Clercq sells food organized by recipe, which helps customers avoid waste by buying too much. This makes the retailer more than just a supplier of food—it becomes “a kind of food consultant to a shopper”, says Tessa Mansfield.For the discerning(有识别力的) drinker, the future holds another new experience. How would you like to try “ocean-aged wine”? This is wine which has been sunk to the bottom of the ocean to help it mature before you savor it.I find all these innovations exciting. What about you? Are you happy to step across the new frontier of food?(1) (单选题)What does the underlined phrase “on the horizon” in Paragraph2mean?A.In the distant future.B.In the near future.C.Above the line at which the sky and the earth appear to meet.D.Below the line at which the sky and the earth appear to meet.(2) (单选题)can be avoided if fruit is tattooed.A.The use of plastic bagsB.Packaging with cardboard boxesC.Delivery from the shop to your doorD.The need for stickers and wasteful packaging(3) (单选题)A digital ice cube tells your friend ____________.A.where you have bought the foodB.that you have drunk too much alcoholC.what beverage you have tastedD.when you last tasted ocean-aged wine(4) (单选题)What new thing is the Dutch firm Bilder and De Clercq offering?A.Healthy Food.B.A food consultant service.C.Food arranged by recipe.D.Environmentally-friendly food.(5) (单选题)What is the best title of the passage?A.Food in a Digital Age.B.Global Innovation Research.C.Manufacturing Smart Food.D.Tattooed Fruit, Ice Cubes and Ocean-Aged Wine.

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.

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.
Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food (51) it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an (52) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never (53) likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child’s hearing he is (54) to copy this procedure. Take it (55) granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a (56) dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him (57) back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child (58) meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food (59) he can hurry back to his toys. Under (60) circumstances must a child be coaxed or forced to eat.55（）。A. withB. asC. overD. for

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.
