Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinishedstatements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the bestchoice 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.American spend billions of dollars each year trying to change their weight with diets, gym membershipsand plastic surgery.Trying to live up to the images of “perfect" models and movie heroes has a dark side: anxiety depression, aswell as unhealthy strategies for weight loss or muscle gain. t also has a financial cost Having an eating disorderboosts annual health care costs by nearly US2,000 per person.Why i there both external and internal pressure to look perfect"? One reason is that society rewards peoplewho are thin and healthy-looking. Researchers have shown that body mass index is related to wages and income.Especially for women, there is a clear penalty at work for being overweight or obese. Some studies have alsofound an impactfor men, though a less noticeable one.While the research literature is clear that labor market success is partly based on how employers andcustomers perceive your body image, no one had explored the other side of the question. Does a person's ownperception of body image matter to earnings and other indicators of success in the workplace?Our recently published study answered this question by tracking a large national random sample ofAmericans over a critical time period when bodies change from teenage shape into adult form and when peoplebuild their identities.As in other research, women in our sample tend to over-perceive their weight-they think they're heavierthan they are-while men tend to under-perceive theirs.We found no relationship between the average person's self-perception of weight and labor market outcomes,although self-perceived weight can influence self-esteem(自尊心), mental health and health behaviors.While the continued gender penalty in the labor market is frustrating, ourfinding that misperceived weightdoes not harm workers is more heartening.Since employers' percepion of weight i what matters in the labor market changing discrimination laws toinclude body type as a category would help. Michigan is the only state that prohibits discrimination on the basisof weight and height. We believe expanding such protections would make the labor market more fair and efficient.46. What does the author say may have an adverseimpact on people?A)Undergoing plastic surgeries in pursuit of beauty.B)Imitating the lifestyles of heroes and role models.C) Striving to achieve perfection regardless of financial cost.D)Attempting to meet society's expectation of appearance.47. What have researchers found out about people's earnings?A)They are closely related to people's social status.B)They have to do with peoples body weight and shape.C)They seem to matter much less to men than to women.D)They may not be equal to people's contributions.48. What does the author's recent study focus on?A)Previous literature on indicators of competitiveness in the workplace.B)Traits that matter most in one's pursuit of success in the labor market.C)Whether self-perception of body image impacts one's workplace success.D)How bosses' perception of body image impacts employees' advancement.49. What is the finding of the author's recent research?A) Being overweight actually does not do much harm to the overall well-being of employees.B) People are not adversely affected in the workplace by false self-perception of body weight.C)Self-esteem helps to combat gender inequality in the workplace.D)Gender inequality continues to frustrate a lot of female employees.50. What does the author think would help improve the situation in the labor market?A)Banning discrimination on the basis of employees' body image.B)Expanding protection of women against gender discrimination.C)Helping employees change their own perception of beauty.D)Excluding body shape as a category in the labor contract.

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.

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
