英语阅读题 会点英语的近来 150分 Ulcers Even though ulcers appear to run in families,lifestyle plays more of role than genetic factors in causing the illness,according to a report in the April 13th Journal of Internal Medicine.In particular,smoking and stress in men and the regular use of pain releasing medicines in women were linked with an increased risk of developing an ulcer. Overall,61% of ulcer risk appears to be due to environmental factors,such as smoking,and the remaining 39% is due to genes according to Dr.Ismo Raiha of the University of Turky and colleagues at the University of Helsinki,Finland.Some researchers had suggested that families may spread Helicobacteria pylori,the bacteria that can cause ulcers.However,the new study suggests this is unlikely,according to the report. Raiha and colleagues studied data from more than 13,000 pairs of twins “to examine the roles of genetic and environmental factors in the origin of peptic ulcer disease,” they explain.Both twins were more likely to develop an ulcer if the pair were genetically the same as compared with a pair of fraternal twins,suggesting that there must be some genetic susceptibility to ulcer development. However,the risk was no greater in twins living together compared with twins living apart,suggesting that shared exposure to H.pylori was not to blame.“Environmental effects were not due to factors shared by family members,and they were related to smoking and stress in men and the use of analgesics in women,” the authors wrote.“The minor effects of shared environment to disease liability do not support the concept that the grouping of risk factors,such as H.pylori infection,would explain the genetic factor of peptic ulcer disease,” they concluded. 1.According to the passage,which of the following is a very likely cause of ulcer in men? A.Smoking and stress. B.Drinking and smoking. C.Genes and children. D.Use of a certain medicine. 2.What factors contribute to over half the ulcers? A.Hereditary factors. B.Economic factors. C.Environmental factors. D.Genetic factors. 3.In relation to ulcers,experts study twins in order to examine A.the roles of genetic factors. B.the roles of environmental factors. C.the roles of both genetic and environmental factors. D.the roles of brotherhood. 4.What does “environmental effects” in the fourth paragraph refer to? A. clean environment with no smoke and dust surrounding the living area. B.Smoking and stress in men and use of pain-killing medicine in Women. C.Factors shared by family members such as genes and the food they eat. D.Shared exposure to H.pylori infection in the unclean environment. 5.The passage argues that A.ulcers are related to genes. B.ulcers are related to lifestyle. C.ulcers appear in men and women. D.ulcers are caused by pylori infection.

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. [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.
