The mountain has a flat top which is about 2 miles from one side to the other. Table Mountain is often covered in cloud. The cloud that forms around the mountain hides many surprises that wait to be discovered.There are about 2,200 kinds of plants found on Table Mountain and 1,470 different flowers. More than 70% of all the plants found on the mountain are endemic, meaning they are not found anywhere else.Although animals such as the cape lion, the mountain zebra or the leopard are no longer found here, it is still home to caracals, rock hyraxes or chacma baboons.The height of the mountain is 3,563 feet. The rocks on the mountain are over 600,000,000 years old making Table Mountain one of the oldest mountains in the world.The first recorded climb of the mountain was done by the Portuguese navigator(航海家), Admiral Antonio de Saldanha in 1503. It was de Saldanha who gave the mountain its name, naming it Taboa da caba, meaning "table of the cape". Now more than 800,000 people from all around the world visit it every year. The cableway for this mountain was opened in 1929 and each car can carry 65 passengers at a time. Since then reaching the top was made easier than ever.The mountain got the natural park status(地位)in 1998. Table Mountain became a World Heritage Site in 2004.(1)From the top of Table Mountain you can take a wonderful photo of Cape Town. ______(2)Table Mountain has about 2,200 kinds of plants which are not found anywhere else. ______(3)Mountain zebras can still be found on Table Mountain now. ______(4)According to the record, de Saldanhh was the first man to climb the mountain. ______(5)Before 1929, people were not able to reach the top of the mountain by cableway. ______Actors:Julia:Roberts (Voice),Nacclas Cage(Voice)-|||-The.Ant Bally-|||-Language;English-|||-Price: Weekdays -330 (Children under 7)-|||-RunnIng time;1.hour 25 minutes-|||-Weckends-------4 40 20 (Children under 7)I really enjoyed this movie.

Her 1962 book Silent Spring made her well-known by many people. It describes the harmful changes in the environment of using toxic chemicals on farmland.Carson's job started as a biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries. In 1951 her first book The Sea Around Us came out, and it became a bestseller. It made her rich enough to leave her job and give her life to writing. She was a gifted writer. Her next two books were also about the oceans and both topped the book sales lists.Carson's book Silent Spring completely change the way America thought about nature. It painted a terrible future for the whole natural world. It led to a nationwide ban on the use of a deadly chemical called DDT, and other toxic things that farmers used for their crops. Many people say the book led to the creation of America's Environmental Protection Agency.Since her death, Carson's name has continued to be connected with protecting the environment. There is now a yearly Rachel Carson Prize. Norway awards the Rachel Carson Prize to women who have made great contributions to the field of environmental protection. In 1980, 16 years after her death, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in America.Actors:Julia:Roberts (Voice),Nacclas Cage(Voice)-|||-The.Ant Bally-|||-Language;English-|||-Price: Weekdays -330 (Children under 7)-|||-RunnIng time;1.hour 25 minutes-|||-Weckends-------4 40 20 (Children under 7)(1)What happened to Rachel Carson in1962?A.She started to write books.B.She gave up working as s biologist.C.Her book The Sea Around Us sold well.D.Her book Silent Spring made her famous.(2)What most probably made Rachel Carson leave her job?A.She got an award.B.Her book Silent Spring came out.C.The Sea Around Us brought her enough money.D.The US government took notice of her researches.(3)Why is the book Silent Spring important to America's environmental protection?A.It describes a silent spring.B.It topped the book sales lists.C.It changed how America thought about nature.D.It includes all Carson's research achievements.(4)What does the underline word "it" in Paragraph 3 mean?A.The book Silent Spring.B.The way America thought .C.The US Bureau of Fisheries.D.America's Environmental Protection Agency.(5)What is the best title for the passage?A.

That was the findings that built on earlier study findings. They show that those who live or work in low levels of light overnight can develop clinical depression. Doctors use the word "clinical depression" to describe serious form of depression. Signs of clinical depression may include losing interest or pleasure in most activities and having low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.In the new study, American researchers did an experiment that made hamsters see different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they sleep during the day and are active at night. The animals were divided into different groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night time period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light and a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light. After four weeks, the researchers noticed how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water.Randy Nelson leads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University. He says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed. He says there's a lot of blue in white light. This explains why the blue and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.Randy Nelson has suggestions for people who work at night or those who like to stay up late. "My suggestion is: If you just stay active at night, you'd better not watch TV or computer screens. If you want to watch TV or computer screens, you can get filtered glass(过滤镜). You can get filtered glass on your computer screen or on your e-Reader to put it more in the red light."(1)Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because ______.A.they are easy to observe and studyB.they are sensitive to colors like humansC.they are active at night and sleep during the dayD.they are similar to humans in dealing with colors(2)There were ______ groups of hamsters during the experiment.A.one B.two C.three D.four(3)What sign shows that the hamsters are being depressed?A.They don't sleep well.B.They drink less sugary water.C.They see red light or darkness.D.Their energy level becomes low.(4)If we watch TV at night, we'd better try to see less ______.A.blue and dark light B.red light and darkness C.white and blue light D.white and red light(5)The main idea of the passage is about ______.A.signs of clinical depressionB.an experiment about hamstersC.filters on the computer screen or the e-ReaderD.the influence of the color of light on people's moodGive yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you'll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child's day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的)to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first.Another block(障碍)to awareness is the obsession(痴迷)many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what's around them. I asked them what they'd seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.(1)According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ______.A.anxious to do wondersB.sensitive to others' feelingsC.likely to develop unpleasant habitsD.eager to explore the world around them(2)What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A.To avoid jumping to conclusions.B.To stop complaining all the time.C.To follow the teacher's advice.D.To admit mistakes honestly.(3)The bird watchers' behavior shows that they ______.A.are very patient in their observationB.are really fascinated by natureC.care only about the names of birdsD.question the accuracy of the field guides(4)Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?A.The natural beauty isn't attractive to them.B.They focus on arriving at the camp in time.C.The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.D.They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.(5)In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should _____.A.fill our senses to feel the wonders of the worldB.get rid of some bad habits in our daily lifeC.open our mind to new things and ideasD.try our best to protect nature.
At the meeting the manager spoke highly of such ___ as loyalty,courage and truthfulness shown by his employees.A. virtuesB. featuresC. characteristicsD. traits
For taking super-sharp pictures of space, the best telescope is the Hubble, in orbit above the earth. But astronomers can't use it whenever they like; they have to bid for time on the already over-burdened instrument. After about 2010, when the aging Hubble starts to fail, astronomers won't be able to go to it at all. That's why space watchers are always looking for clever ways to take super-clear images from the ground without the blurring of the atmosphere. And it's why a recent piece of news from Cambridge University and Caltech made scientists take notice. By wedding a new electronic light detector to the Hale Telescope in California, astronomers were able to snap at least one space photo that was literally twice as sharp as a comparable Hubble image and 50,000 times cheaper. The concept behind the detector (探测器), which is known, cutely, as the Lucky Camera, is very simple: The earth's altering atmosphere acts as a lens, which changes moment by moment as pockets of warmer or cooler air constantly pass in front of a given object. That's why stars blink and why telescopes on the ground can be only so sharp. The stars blink for the Lucky Camera too. So the computer that runs the Lucky Camera saves those rare, perfect images instead of the rest. And because a single 1⁄20-second exposure of an object in space is almost invisible, the computer combines the good images and produces one that could be used. Still, the Lucky Camera isn't a true replacement for the Hubble. Since it has to throw away most of its images, it isn't very efficient. Yes, it took a picture sharper than the Hubble could, but it took a lot longer. The instrument is also limited to a patch of sky only about 1⁄120th the width of the full moon; the Hubble's field of view is 150 times as large. And the Hubble can see ultraviolet (紫外线) and infrared (红外线) light, which the atmosphere blocks. Ultimately, says Mackay, "we're not competing with the Hubble. We're simply trying to provide another choice when the Hubble dies."1. Why can't the Hubble satisfy the need of astronomers?A) Because it has been overburdened and becomes unavailable. B) Because it flies too far away for astronomers to go onto it.C) Because it is too expensive and aging.D) Because it is too complicated and always fails in function.2. Which of the following best describes the difficulty of taking super-sharp images from the ground?A) The climate changes from time to time so there is not enough sunshine.B) Stars blink from time to time so it is difficult to catch the sight of them.C) Warmer air or cooler air changes the function of the lens of the telescope.D) The atmosphere changes from time to time so the images of the objects in space are distorted. 3. How does the Lucky Camera work?A) It takes pictures with a detector in space and produces a combined one.B) It takes many pictures on the ground and produces a combined one.C) It takes many pictures of the space and selects the best ones. D) It takes pictures with a wide field of view and produces the largest one.4. Which of the following is true about the Lucky Camera?A) It is very efficient in taking supper-clear pictures.B) It has a wider field of view than the Hubble.C) It can see ultraviolet light.D) It takes sharper pictures than the Hubble could. 5. According to the passage, the Lucky Camera is a(n) ________ of the Hubble.A) competitorB) replacementC) backup choice D) improved version

53.根据下面资料，回答It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced to the broom, and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. I notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices, and our young men unfortunately miss that salutary branch of business education. But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself. Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is "aim high". I would not give a fig for the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm. Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk, or foreman, or general manager in any concern, no matter how extensive. Say to yourself, "My place is at the top." Be king in your dreams. And here is the prime condition of success, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. Having begun in one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it. According to the author, to achieve his ambition, a young man should ____________. A.B. A. have the genius of being a future partner C.D. B. start at the grassroots and aim high E.F. C. work as a sweeper first to be a senior manager G.H. D. devote himself entirely to his work

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.
