You never see him, but they're with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. They're known as the black box. When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the device's homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed. In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U. S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane – the area least subject to impact – from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility. Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots' conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand（抵挡）massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When submerged（潜入水中）, they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they're still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane's black boxes were never recovered.(1).What does the author say about the black box? A.It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane.B.The idea for its design comes from a comic book.C.Its ability to ward off disasters is incredible.D.It is an indispensable device on an airplane.(2). What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner? A.Data for analyzing the cause of the crash.B.The total number of passengers on board.C.The scene of the crash and extent of the damage.D.Homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash.(3). Why was the black box redesigned in 1965? A.New materials became available by that time.B.Too much space was needed for its installation.C.The early models often got damaged in the crash.D.The early models didn't provide the needed data.(4). What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447? A.There is still a good chance of their being recovered.B.There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.C.They have stopped sending homing signals.D.They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.
The Bonobos shop on lower Fifth Avenue, in Manhattan, sits in a row of familiar fashion brands, including J. Crew. Zara and Gap. As at those stores, shoppers at Bonobos can survey racks of clothes, try on this shirt and those trousers, then decide which items to purchase. Unlike in those stores, stoppers at Bonobos may not buy any clothes to take home. When Bonobos first tried this idea, in 2011, it seemed like a joke. The company now has 20 such shops, from Texas to California, and plans to open at least seven more this year.Bricks-and-mortar stores are in the middle of an identity crisis. The growing threat from online shopping has encouraged some physical retailers to do more than just sell goods. Lululemon attracts shoppers with both yoga clothes and yoga classes, Louis Vuitton displays tine art beside its dresses. Among the most interesting models to emerge, however, are chains such as Bonobos, whose outlets have no stock to sell. Until recently, this business model was largely restricted to sellers of big, non-portable things like furniture: people like to examine sofas before they buy them. but they do not fit neatly into shopping bags. Now, clothing retailers are seeing the downsides of conventional shops,too.If retailer stores and sells goods in the same place, it must rent space, often in an expensive central location, for the store room as well as the shop floor. Staff may be needed to unpack deliveries overnight, which raises costs further. Employees spend much of the day restocking shelves, which means less attention paid to customers. Companies can never predict perfectly which items will sell in which shops. Inevitably some clothes remain unsold for too long, and must be marked down. which squeezes margins.Online-only shops have less of a problem with this sort of thing, but there are still many consumers who like to check the fit and the feel of a piece of clothing before buying. So Paul Evans and Jack Erwin, two young shoe companies, have showrooms in New York where shoppers can inspect loafers (便鞋) and brogues (皮鞋), then order them online. Warby Parker does the same for glasses.The most prominent American example is Bonobos, which began as an online-only men's retailer before realizing customers wanted shops, too. Its outlets house many styles and many sizes, but not every style in every size. Salesmen have the sole job of helping each shopper find clothes he likes, identify the proper fit and order the clothes online. "We do a better job of selling clothes because we don't stock the clothes." Boasts Andy Dunn, the firm's founder. Bonobos need not guess which trousers will sell at which store. All the stock is at one central warehouse.In Asia, Zalore offers a variation on this theme. The four-year-old online retailer displays its clothes in pop-up showrooms in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Indonesia and the Philippines. Such temporary installations, explains Tito Costa, Zalora's marketing chief, are "a way to build confidence either in a new way of shopping or in a young brand." Shoppers can try on Zalora's clothes, chat with its stylists and order items online, either from computer stations or by scanning a QR code with their phones, using Zalora's app.It is no coincidence that the companies that are testing out such showrooms began online. Big established retailers are unlikely to change stores to showrooms, at least in the foreseeable future, because they can satisfy a potential customer by making her get a Zara dress in the afternoon and go dancing in it that same evening. Delivering to individuals rather than shipping in bulk to stores would also require established retailers to upend their distribution networks, says Neil Saunders of Conlumino, a consulting firm. But for many younger retailers, selling online and in showrooms may be the future, not least because showrooms are cheaper to run than conventional shops. That means they can open more of them, more quickly.Some familiar fashion brands are mentioned in Paragraph 1 to show that .A. they find a large scale is hard to achieveB. competitions between Bonobos and fashion brands is getting beyond a jokeC. they win the trust of consumers by their good servicesD. Bonobos' operating system differs from theirs
More than 30, 000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year. At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third-floor windows. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half. Therefore, drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to 50. It will no be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver’s responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind. However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it. This text is taken from ____. A.a medical magazine B.a police report C.a legal document D.a government information booklet It is the driver’s responsibility to ____.A.make the front seat passenger wear a seat belt B.make the front seat children under 14 wear a seat belt C.stop children riding in the front seat D.wear a seat belt each time he drives According to the text, which of the following riding in the front does not have to wear a seat belt？A.Someone who is backing the car into a space B.Someone who is picking up the children from the local school. C.Someone who is delivering invitation letters. D.Someone who is under 14 For some people, it may be better ____.A.to wear a seat belt for health reasons B.not to wear a seat belt for health reasons C.to get a valid medical certificate before wearing a seat belt D.to pay a fine rather than wear a seat belt Wearing a seat belt in a vehicle ____.A.reduces road accidents by more than half B.saves lives while driving at a speed up to 30 miles per hour C.reduces the death rate in traffic accidents D.saves more than 15, 000 lives each year

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.

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.

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.

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.
