Walk through Times Square—you're bombarded with advertising. And it turns out, a bumblebee might have a similar feeling, buzzing through a field of flowers. "So these flowers are these billboards, they're advertising a commodity, this delicious nectar (花蜜) reward, and bees are very picky shoppers," says Anne Leonard, a pollination (授粉) biologist at the University of Nevada, Reno.She describes a flower field as a sort of pollination marketplace. "Bees are nectar experts. They are really good at assessing even really small differences in the sugar concentration of nectar." They also scope out flower shape and size, color and scent. And now Leonard and her colleagues have discovered that bumblebees are also sensitive to pollen.What does the author compare a flower field to?A. Times Square.B. A shopper.C. A commodity.D. A billboard.

How useful was it? We asked three people for their opinions.Ellen: I spent 8 days in Germany when I was studying for my Level A. I went to school every day and spent the evenings with a family. It was great that I had to speak German all the time. However, the most useful thing was that I was paying more attention to communicating in the language, instead of speaking perfect correct German. I was really glad that people could understand what I was saying. I'd certainly introduce it to other students who are studying languages.Frank: I went on an exchange with my classmates for a week in Japan. Before the exchange, I thought my understanding of grammar was pretty good, but I had much trouble in listening and speaking. So, what I thought most meaningful was that I had no choice but to use everyday language skills instead of the language from books. If I had the opportunity(机遇), I'd certainly take part in another language exchange.Alice: I took 1 art in a French exchange. It lasted two weeks and I stayed with my exchange family in a small town just outside Paris. I'm quite a shy person, so in the first few days, I was kind of nervous, but then it was fine. I love French and my French has always been good. But the exchange really helped develop my speaking skills, and made me a much more confident(自信的)person. It felt great to be able to talk with French people. I also found that everyone who took part in the exchange did a lot better in their end of year exams.(1)What does Ellen think was great when in Germany?A.She had to speak German all the time.B.She could understand German very well.C.She could speak perfect correct German.D.She spent the whole evening with a family.(2)What was Frank's problem before going on the exchange?A.He was quite a shy person.B.He had trouble in listening and speaking.C.He had poor understanding of grammar.D.He couldn't use the language from books.(3)All of the three would most probably describe their exchange as ________.A.helpful B.tiring C.exciting D.boringIf you think spider webs are weak, think again! Spider webs are made of silk. That is one of the strongest materials. In fact, silk is stronger than steel!A spider produces a sticky liquid(液体)from its body. That liquid grows hard into a strong silk thread(线). Scientists are working to make silk that is as strong as a spider's. They are getting closer to learning how.What did scientists learn? "We use lots of different machines to see how spiders make their silk," said scientist Chris Holland. "The machines can show us how strong the silk is and what it is made of. We recently discovered that to make silk like a spider's, we have to start with the right material. We have been using a material that is too runny. However, in the body of spiders, it is thick like mayonnaise(蛋黄酱)," Chris Holland said.Scientists hope their work will help produce or make a kind of stronger silk. It may be used to make clothes that are strong but light. The clothes may one day protect soldiers and astronauts.▲ Spiders use silk in several important ways. A grass spider uses silk to make a home. An orb-weaver spider makes a web to catch food. A female candy-striped spider wraps(缠绕)silk around her eggs to protect them.(1)From the first sentence we know that spider webs are very ________.A.strange B.soft C.weak D.strong(2)What causes the silk produced by people to be less strong than spiders'?A.The wrong process.B.The high temperature.C.The material used to make the silk.D.The machine used to produce the silk.(3)The underlined word "runny" means "________".A.not thick B.not heavy C.awful D.short(4)Which can be put back into ▲ .A.How do spiders use silk?B.How do spiders protect their eggs?C.How many kinds of spiders are there?D.How do spiders use silk to catch food?I used to be an active girl. But two years ago, an English speaking competition held in my school changed me a lot.I stood on the stage(舞台)for the first time. I was so nervous that my brain suddenly became empty(空的). No longer after I began my speech, the hall turned noisy. It seemed that they were laughing at me. I knew I failed.From then on, I became quiet and always stayed alone. I didn't want to express my ideas in public, even in class. Every time I wanted to say something, I thought people would laugh at me. My friends couldn't understand me, and they left me, one by one.One day, my science teacher asked us why trees in forests were much taller than those in the wild. "Ha, what a silly question!" I thought."There's not enough space in the woods for trees to expand(伸展)their branches(枝条)Of course they have to grow taller than others. The trees in the wild needn't do that since there's enough space." I said in a low voice.To my surprise, the teacher said, "Yes, you're right. It is a competition." My face turned red right away. I hadn't spoken for a long time, especially in public.Then the teacher explained how trees in forests had to grow taller to receive more sunlight. If not, they would die. This also happened in our society.What's more, the tree that doesn't live in a crowd is just like a person who has no friends in life.I raised my head slowly and found the teacher was looking at me. His eyes were as warm as sunshine. I realized that I must stand up and face the truth.(1)The hall turned noisy because ________.A.the competitor got ill on stageB.they were too nervousC.the speech was wonderfulD.the competitor forgot what to say(2)What happened to the writer after the speaking competition?A.He was often laughed at.B.His friends tried to cheer him up.C.He worked harder to improve himself.D.He seldom expressed his ideas in public.(3)Why are trees in forests much taller than those in the wild?A.They are taken good care of.B.There is more water and sunshine in forests.C.They have to grow taller to receive more sunlight.D.They have enough space to expand their branches.(4)Which of the following describes the whole change of the writer?A.Quiet→active. B.Active→quiet. C.Active→quiet→active. D.Quiet→active→quiet.(5)What does the writer learn from the science class?A. good friend is like a mirror.B.Everything may happen in our society.C.We shouldn't laugh at others when they fail.D.One should grow stronger to fit into society.阅读下面短文,按要求完成(1)-(5)题。There are several ways you can find out about the countries and the cities you wish to visit. You can talk to your friends who have traveled to the places, you can go and see a color film about them, or you can read a travel book.It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first kind of book gives a personal, subjective(主观的)idea of travels which its writer has got himself. This kind of book can be useful if the writer shares his traveling experiences with others. The second kind gives objective(客观的)information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind is called "a guide" to a place. If it is good, it will describe and explain the place in detail(细节)for visitors. Like the first kind, the third kind can be interesting and exciting, but the main purpose(目的)is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way. No matter what kind of travel book you get, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also pay attention to its time of publication(出版), because many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it's easy to find the useful information for your travel.It's necessary to plan the journey before you start it. We often advise visitors to get a good travel book to help with it.(1)、(2)题完成句子;(3)题简略回答问题;(4)题找出并写下第二段的主题句;(5)题将文中画线句子译成汉语。(1)Reading a travel book is a way to ________ about the places you wish to visit.

Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new.It is not many years since a man who had to have an operation felt all its pain. Long ago, operations had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched.

Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him. Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teeth. Wells felt no pain at all. As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out. Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.18.

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.

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.
