The Internet has enabled the spread of information at lightning speed. This information revolution has created tremendous business opportunities for online publishers, but not all of them maintain proper quality-control mechanisms to ensure that only good information is being shared. Instead, many publishers aim simply to make money by whatever means possible, with no regard for the implications for society at large. When selfish publishers set up shops online, the primary goal is to publish as much as possible, often at the cost of quality. In this respect, many publishers start numerous online journals focused on overlapping (重叠的) disciplines—to increase their total number of published papers—and hire young business managers who do not have any experience in either science or publishing. In some cases, online publishers even give up peer review, while still presenting themselves as scientific journals—deception designed to take advantage of scientists who simply want to share their research. If publishers structure their business to make more revenue, it often does harm to their products. When publishers start journals with overlapping domains, in combination with the pressure to publish more studies, this could promote the publication of marginal or even questionable articles. Moreover, publishers with multiple overlapping journals and journals with very narrow specialties (专业) increase the demands on the time and efforts of willing reviewers. With the fact that reviewers are generally not compensated for their time and effort, journal editors are often unable to find enough reviewers to keep up with the increased publication rate. To improve the situation and increase the trust in scientific community, the pressure to publish must be reduced. Funding and promotion decisions should not be based on the number of publications, but on the quality of those publications and a researcher's long-term productivity and instructions. And that's just the start. We need additional mechanisms, such as Beau's list of predatory (掠夺的) publishers, to alert scientists to fake journals and fake articles. In addition, the price for online publication must be controlled and a mechanism must be put in place to honor and reward hard-working reviewers.1What does the author think of online publishers?A. small proportion of them can guarantee their publishing quality.B.They have lots of opportunities to renovate their business models.C.Many of them tend to try every means to make a buck.D.Social impact is their first priority when publishing books.2It can be inferred from the second paragraph that________.E.peer review generally is a criterion to identify academic journalsF.researchers focus their research on the combination of disciplinesG.scientists care about their publications rather than researchH.young business managers are willing to face new challenges3Why can’t publishers find enough reviewers to review papers?I.Reviewers are pressed for time when reviewing articles.J.Reviewers’ gains can’t make up for what they have done.K.Publishers may compel reviewers to accept marginal articles.L.Publishers urge reviewers to increase publication rate rapidly.4What is the author’s suggestion for online publication?M.More weight should be put on the quantity of publications.N.It is worthwhile to reward diligent reviewers for their efforts.O.Fake journals should be reported to a regulatory organization.P.The price of online publication should be lowered greatly.5What is the main idea of this passage?Q.Online publishers should take measures to fight against fake scientific journals.R.Online publishers are pursuing their work efficiency at the cost of quality.S.Online publishers’ business models are quite likely to harm their publications.T.Online publishers are sacrificing the quality of research articles to make money.

Indonesian Tsunami (海啸) Disaster Ing, eleven years old, isn’’t sure how she felt after surviving the tsunami disaster that hit the western coast of Thailand on 26 December 2004. The tidal waves not only swallowed her whole native village of Baan Nam Kem, but also the life of her loving aunt, who had taken care of her after her parents’’ separation. Another aunt is missing and has not yet been found. "What happened really saddens me. I cried until I had no more tears. The only reminders of them that I could find in the debris (残骸，瓦砾) were one of their blouses and a watch...On the day of the disaster, I was staying with my grandmother in a nearby village. I got very scared when I saw the wave. It was as tall as the tops of the pine trees. When it hit, I thought my grandmother and I were going to die. Luckily, a truck stopped and picked us up. We finally made it to the top of the mountain safely," she said, still looking frightened. "My house was completely destroyed, and I do not have the courage to go back and live there again, let alone to swim in the sea. I’’m afraid that such a terrible thing might happen again." Ing is now staying at a temporary shelter, waiting for her mother who lives in another district to come and collect her. At the same time, she looks forward to going back to school. "I want to go back to study, and only hope that my school will reopen soon." What I Witnessed Gordon Weiss, UNICEF’’s (联合国儿童基金会) Media coordinator of Emergency Operations, was in Aceh, the province hardest-hit by the tsunami. He gave us an eyewitness account of the disaster. A young boy clung to a plank (厚木板) . People were watching him from the bridge above, staring for a few moments, and then moving on. The boy’’s dead body lay atop a sea of debris, the gentle ocean swelled, rocking him against the bridge’’s wooden pillar (柱子，支柱). The once emerald-green (翡翠绿) rice paddy-fields (稻田) of Aceh have become graveyards for thousands of people. Bloated (肿胀) , blackened bodies rose above the water and lined the narrow roads. Corpses seemed to be everywhere... On that fateful morning, farmers working on their fields watched in amazement as a wall of water appeared in the distance, then tore across a broad strip of coastal land, smashing everything in its path. The 10-meter-high wall of water ― carrying wood and other debris ― surged across the plain, crossing the two kilometers to Segun Ayon in about 4 minutes. We drove on a little closer to the sea, to the village of Pengungi. Of the 6,000 people in the area, about 1,000 were killed. A third of the victims were children; another third, women. The children, frightened by their experience, clung to their parents as we talked. The adults told us mat 13 of the 15 schools in this small cluster of villages had been destroyed. Many of the teachers were killed. Apart from food and water, the people here pleaded for help to reopen the schools for their children, who desperately needed a safe place that could restore some normalcy (正常状态) to their shattered lives. One old woman said in broken English, "Education is medicine to these children." Every few hours, aftershocks (余震) shook me ground here. The stench (臭气，恶臭) of death lingered in the air. Half of the city of Banda Aceh had been destroyed, with the figures for the dead rising each hour. What We Can Do Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of United Nations, delivered his statement in Jakarta, Indonesia, 6 January 2005. What happened on 26 December 2004 was an unprecedented, global catastrophe (灾难，灾祸). It requires an unprecedented, global response. For the United Nations, it is the largest natural disaster the Organization has had to respond to on behalf of the world community, in the sixty years of our existence... It seems at times like a nightmare from which we are still hoping to awaken. We will never know the exact number of how many men, women and children perished on 26 December, and in the eleven days mat have passed since then. We do know that at least half a million people are injured; mat more man a million people are displaced (被迫离开家园的，失去家 园的); that nearly two million people need food aid; and that many more need water, sanitation (卫生) and health care. So as we grieve for the dead and pray for those still searching for loved ones, we have a duty to the survivors. To Treat the Wounded To prevent further suffering as a result of polluted drinking water, destroyed infrastructure, lack of food, clothing and shelter. To stop the tsunami from being followed by a second wave of death, this time from preventable causes. And in the longer term, to prevent a third wave of despair, where people can’’t recover their livelihoods, homes or communities. The governmental response has been matched by unprecedented generosity from the general public. Consider the six-year-old boy in Shenyang, China, who donated his life savings of 22 dollars. Or the citizens of Sweden, a country of nine million inhabitants, who have raised more than 70 million dollars for the relief effort in Asia, while struggling to cope with the fact that almost 2,000 of their compatriots (同胞) are still missing in the tragedy... So the goodwill and concern around the world are enormous. So are the challenges facing us. Another Disaster to Children The most heartbreaking the tsunami disaster has brought was on children, who account for as many as one-third of the total killed. Now, as refugees register in temporary camps, the world is confronting a different sort of tragedy: tens of thousands of children have been either separated from their parents or orphaned. These kids, whom relief workers are calling "the Tsunami Generation," have become prime objects of the global outpouring of sympathy. But they are also drawing some unwanted attention. Relief workers say many orphans are suffering from both physical and psychological trauma (创伤) . A UNICEF spokesman says many are "in a state of denial." Some who saw their mothers drown, he says, cling to the belief that Mom has just gone to the ocean for a while, and that she will soon return. Protecting children from exploitation is another priority. Previous disasters have demonstrated that kids are targets for gangs involved in human trafficking (人口买卖) , which thrives in parts of the region. How serious is the threat Supervisors in at least one refugee center in Sri Lanka report that people have turned up asking if they can buy children. "Bad people take advantage of difficult situations," Bellamy says. Response to the Threat The Indonesian government responded by restricting travel for kids and banning adoptions out of Aceh. Indeed, none of the affected nations are eager to send tsunami orphans abroad. The U.S. State Department, for its part, has placed a postponement on adoptions of tsunami survivors by U.S. citizens. For one thing, not all the displaced children are necessarily orphans. Some newly single parents may have dropped off their kids at shelters as they surveyed the ruins of their houses and lives. Other parents may still be alive but were separated from their children during the chaos of the flood. "For every story about an orphan," says Paul Deveril, a UNICEF project officer in India, "there’’s also a story about a parent searching for their child." Those who still want to help have options. Both the French and Italian governments have set up programs that will allow people to sponsor tsunami orphans. In the U.S., the Christian mission Gospel for Asia, based in Carrollton, Texas, is raising funds to build 10 "transition homes" in Sri Lanka alone. But there’’s also the risk that with so many displaced children, local governments won’’t be able to find new homes for all of them, which could make thousands of orphans permanent wards (被监护人) of their respective states. Perhaps then their adoption by foreigners will not seem such a bad idea.A third of the victims were women in the village of Pengungi. A．YB．NC．NG

"It'snot considered impolite as in some countries and is a popular topic of discussion between strangers. ◆ Talk about sports: Americans love sports!However, they love America sports.When speaking about football, most Americans understand"American football", not soccer. ◆ Be careful when expressing ideas about race, religion or other sensitive(敏感的)topics: The United States is a society with different cultures.Americans are very sensitive to other cultures and ideas.(1)For Americans,the question"what do you do?"is________.mon .

Their answer is the bicycle, or bike. In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called "Bike for a Better City". They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer ________ in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines. For several years this group has been trying to get city government to help bicycle riders.For example, they want the city to paint special lanes﹣for bicycles only﹣on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there may be accidents. "Bike for a Better City" feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes. But no bicycle lanes have been painted yet. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. Taxi drivers don't like the idea﹣they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don't like the idea﹣they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike. The city government has not yet decided what to do.It wants to keep everyone happy.On weekends, Central Park﹣the largest open place in New York﹣is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But "Bike for a Better City" says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. Until that happens, the safest place to bicycle may be in the park.(1)The underlined word "automobiles" in the second paragraph means________.A. trains B. cars C. planes D. ships.(2)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?________A. Special lanes are needed on every street.B. The Central Park is closed to cars on weekdays.C. "Bike for a Better City" members ride bicycles to work.D.

"Bike for a Better City" and the city governmentC. the government's idea on traffic and city pollutionD. advice on the city problems of traffic and pollution.Many people think sports are just for winning and honor, but there is a lot more you can gain from (get out of) them.I have learned over the past years that sometimes when I lose, I get a lot more out of it than winning.Also, I find a lot of times in sports, people are getting too caught up in the game instead of just having fun.The real purpose of sports is to have fun and learn life lessons along the way. I greatly encourage you to be a part of the school sports.Even if you are not the best, you can still have fun.Sports give people a great and healthy way of spending an afternoon, instead of lying around playing video games or even getting into bad things.Sports also give us a sense of achievement.There isn't a better feeling than to have done something fun and productive for my day. I think that we all need sports to give us courage.If we try hard in sports, we usually do well.If we did the same in study, we would all be champions.Another reason why I encourage you to play sports is that it's just fun.Without sports, our lives would just be boring.So as you may be able to tell, sports are amazing! Our coaches not only teach us to play sports, but show class and good sportsmanship while playing them.It's never fun when you lose to have the competitor rub it in your face.That's why our coaches teach us to show class when we lose; also, when coaches get onto you, don't get down.They only want to see you improve and learn from what they say.When you do badly and they don't shout loudly is when you should start worrying because they are giving up on you. Overall, sports are great!They bring out the best and worst of a lot of us.However, we can't let sports get too serious to where it brings down all the fun.So to have the most fun in sports, you just need try your best and not worry so much about the winning or losing.(1)The underlined phrase"get onto you"in Paragraph 4probably means________.A.point out your mistakes. B.take up your time. C.worry about your future . D.look into your privacy.(2)Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?________A.Sports bring us great fun only if we have the talent.B.Sports give us the best way of spending free time.C.We can get more out of winning than losing.D.We should take pleasure in doing sports.(3)What is the best title of this passage?________A.re we too caught up?. B.To win or to gain?. C.Are sports really great?. D.For honor or for health?.

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.
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. 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
