二、 阅读理解（共 4 题）2. Adolescence, the period of a child’s life when they are most vulnerable to outside influences, isa relatively scary time for parents. Children of this age become the target of many negativeinfluences while at the same time they are experiencing hormones that are raging out of control.But parents should not be fooled by their children’s rejection and rudeness. In fact childrenexpect the constant support, guidance, and influence from their parents.I came from a family where anger always lies just below the surface, waiting for an excuse toerupt. My parents often said that my sisters and I could tell them anything. Though theypromised not to be angry at whatever we would say, they couldn’t do it. Without the emotionalsupport from my parents during my most vulnerable years, I often found myself losing mytemper easily and even doing risky behaviors.There is no certain standard about parenting, but I knew exactly what I should not do after Ibecame a parent. I knew the importance of establishing open communication and trust, whichresulted in my proper reactions and my children’s trust.Our home was a quiet place, a shelter for my children’s emotional well-being. My childrenfreely shared with me what happened in their lives, whether good or bad, shocking orhumorous. As their mother, I rarely raised my voice and my reactions to their telling abouttheir improper behaviors remained calm, no matter how I felt inside.Parenting I did was far from easy. It took patience, persistence, and consistency. Everyonehopes for beautiful relationships with their children, and everyone can have them. The theoryis simple: trust is the lock---communication is the key.【1】What do we know about adolescents according to the text?A. They cannot easily control themselvesB. They are easily influenced by their parentsC. They are eager to communicate with parentsD. They don’t expect parents’ guidance and support【2】Which of the following words best describes the author when she was a teenager?A. Gentle B. DishonestC. Hurt D. Careless【3】How did the author gain trust when communicating with her children?A. By making a promise B. By raising her voiceC. By demanding much of them D. By controlling her reactions【4】The text is mainly intended to tell us __________.A. the need of riding anger at homeB. the ways of parenting adolescentsC. the importance of supporting childrenD. the benefit of building good relationships with children 3. The Australian postal service has apologized for delivering a letter half a century after it wassent from an island in the South Pacific.A couple from Adelaide found the faded postcard, from the French Polynesian island of Tahiti,resting on their doorstep under a gas bill. It bore a postmark of 1966 and was addressed to one“Robert Giorgio”, according to the Adelaide Advertiser. The postcard, which was written bysomeone named “Chris’, reads: “I am enjoying myself greatly. The weather is very humid. I’lltry and drop you a note in England.” Its stamp cost 13 francs, or around nine pence, and isunderstood to have been sent to the original owner of the house, whose whereabout isunknown.“It took a while to realize it was an old one,” said Tim Duffy, who bought the house 18months ago with his wife, Claire, and believes it was built by an Italian man in 1963. “Then Ichecked the post date and it’s 1966.” He suspects the card may have been sent by someonewho was travelling by boat. “It’s fresh enough although it is a bit faded and it’s got somedamage to the top left, which looks like a bit of water damage,” he said. Mr Duffy handed theletter back to Australia Post, who acknowledged that something had “gone wrong” and issuedan apology. “It is clear that something went wrong 50 years ago after the postcard was postedin French Polynesia, and we apologise for the inconvenience,” a spkesman said.It is not the first time that a letter has taken vastly longer than expected arrive at itsdestination.A love letter sent by a British soldier during World War Two was apparently stuck in transitfor more than 64 years before it reached RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk.【1】Who wrote the postcard?A.

Fresh but damaged【3】The underlined word “whereabout” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”A. location B. familyC. habit D. name【4】What can be inferred from the text?A. The post card was sent out in 1963B. Tim Duffy accepted the apology from the Australia PostC. This is the first letter that has gone wrong during deliveringD. The person who wrote the post card would travel to England 4. In every significant relationship, there comes a time when you have to ask the tough questions:what’s the deal with the mysterious fifth pocket on our favorite jeans?To find out, we called in the experts: Korie Lovette and John Cunningham ,two merchandisemangers for Wrangler jeans. “The fifth pocket was introduced in the 1800s as a protectivesleeve for cowboys’ pocket watches,” Lovette told TODAY Style. “Although the pocket israrely used for watches today, standard jeans are still being produced in a way that canaccommodate a size 16 pocket watch.”We haven’t seen a pocket watch since the last time we watched “Castaway” , but Cunninghaminsists that the pocket has plenty of modern uses. “Today, men use them for pocket knives orloose change, while women might use it to hold lipstick,” he said. “Over the past couple years,it has become an increasingly popular spot to store technology devices such as cell phones oriPods.”And then, of course, there is the issue of aesthetic(美感). “A classic pair of jeans would lookincomplete without the fifth pocket,” Cunningham explained. “It’s a tradition; an authenticconstruction of the jean. It was product innovation before that was a famous item. We keep thefifth pocket for the typical completeness of our jeans.”That said, there are times when it makes sense to break with tradition for a more pleasing fit.“When Wrangler determines whether to include the fifth pocket or not, we look at the overallaesthetic of the figure,” said Lovette. “For women’s skinny jeans or leggings, we usually don’tinclude a fifth picket since the consumer will most likely be wearing a blouse that will coverthe pocket.”【1】The original use of the fifth pocket is to ___________.A. hold pocket knives B. carry cowboys’ moneyC. make the jeans more beautiful D. protect cowboys’ pocket watches【2】What can we infer from the text?A. Women usually like the fifth pocket on their jeansB. Wrangler has some kinds of jeans without the fifth pocketC. The fifth pocket was designed mainly for storing cell phonesD. The question about the fifth pocket is asked often between phones【3】What may be the best title for the text?A. Is the extra pocket good or bad? B. Is the fifth pocket to be changed?C. The reasons for having that extra pocket D. The styles of the fifth pocket 5. The best password managersLastPassPerhaps the best-known password manger made news last November by announcing that itsapp would be free across all platforms. “By offering LastPass for free across all your devices,we’re making it that much easier for everyone to make good password habits the rule, whileresetting the expectations of what a great password management experience should be in amulti-device world,” Joe Siegrist, vice president of LastPass, wrote in a blog post.DashlaneYou need to pay 39.99 for the updated version, which allows you to sync( 同步)and sharewith all your devices. The free version is great if you just need the manager on one device.Dashlane provides a dashboard that judges how secure your passwords are, so you can see inreal time if your new password is more secure than the old one, and it’ll automatically changeyour password for you if needed.KeepassOne big reason why might choose Keepass is that Keepass doesn’t use a cloud to keep trackof all of your passwords. Instead, all your information is kept on your own computer. That’sbad news if your computer dies or gets stolen and you haven’t backed it up, but if you’recautious about a cloud-based system, this open-source platform might be the way to go.Sticky PasswordIf safety and security are your biggest concerns, Sticky Password is a good option, especiallyconsidering its team from AVG Technologies.

W Who's a hero these days? In an era of heightened heroism, the word hero has become more common. We use hero to describe both victims and volunteers of all kinds of difficulties and achievements. Who are the heroes among us?2 In the days leading up to a mass shooting in Tucson, Arizona, many described Dory Stoddard as a hero. Dory gave his life for his wife, Mary. When Dory heard shots ring out, he immediately fell on top of his wife to shelter her from the hail of bullets. At the memorial service, the president said, "Dory didn't die a hero; he lived a hero." Long known for his remarkable spirit and love of humanity, Dory Stoddard died as he had always lived: assisting others.3 Dory Stoddard was a civilian hero, who acted instinctively with courage and grace when caught up in extraordinary circumstances. But about what first responders, whose job is, in the words of the widow of a fallen police officer, to "rush toward danger"?4 In Toronto, Canada, downtown life stopped when more than 11,000police officers and other emergency responders marched solemnly through the streets to honor Sergeant Ryan Russell, a 35-year-old "good man and good cop", who believed deeply in his commitment to protect and serve. Sgt. Russell moved quickly to protect others from harm. He tried to stop a drunk driver in a stolen snowplow with only his police automobile and his goodwill to help others. Sadly, Sgt. Russell was unable to stop the drunk driver and was killed in the effort.It used to be that the word hero was reserved for those who performed acts of distinct courage beyond the call of duty. A soldier who runs through gunfire to rescue other military personnel is as a hero. So are larger-than-life leaders such as Nelson Mandela, who emerged after 27 years in jail, confirmed in a solitary chamber. He made the choice not to be bitter, and worked hard as Africa's first black president to establish harmony and helped society reconcile its conflicts.But today, our heroes are average men and women, "everyday heroes" to whom we can say people like us.

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.

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.

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.
