Choose one word only from the passage for each answer.Before human arrival, the archipelago's tortoises numbered in the hundreds of thousands. From the 17th century onwards, pirates took a few on board for food, but the arrival of whaling ships in the 1790s saw this exploitation grow exponentially. Relatively immobile and capable of surviving for months without food or water, the tortoises were taken on board these ships to act as food supplies during long ocean passages. Sometimes, their bodies were processed into high-grade oil. In total, an estimated 200,000 animals were taken from the archipelago before the 20th century. This historical exploitation was then exacerbated when settlers came to the islands. They hunted the tortoises and destroyed their habitat to clear land for agriculture. They also introduced alien species-ranging from cattle, pigs, goats, rats and dogs to plants and ants-that either prey on the eggs and young tortoises or damage or destroy their habitat.Originally from mainland South AmericaNumbers on Galapagos islands increased,due to lack of predators 17th century: small numbers taken onto ships used by _____1______.1790s: very large numbers taken onto whaling ships, kept for _____2_____ and also used to produce _____3______.Hunted by _____4______on the islands.Habitat destruction: for the establishment of agriculture and by various ______5____not native to the islands, which also fed on baby tortoises and tortoises'____6_____.

This Way to Dreamland Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what's happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy. 66 They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things. But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. 67 Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions? So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool? First, understand that some opportunities (机会) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams. 68 And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you're daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task — preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings. It's also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. "Mindfulness", being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. 69 Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away. 70 Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.1. 66A: Having interesting things to think about also helps.B: They stare off into space and wander by themselves.C: Without wandering minds, we wouldn't have relatively, Coke or Post — it notes.D: At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.E: It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.F: Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.G: Therefore, it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you're in the daydream zone.2. 67A: Having interesting things to think about also helps.B: They stare off into space and wander by themselves.C: Without wandering minds, we wouldn't have relatively, Coke or Post — it notes.D: At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.E: It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.F: Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.G: Therefore, it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you're in the daydream zone.3. 68A: Having interesting things to think about also helps.B: They stare off into space and wander by themselves.C: Without wandering minds, we wouldn't have relatively, Coke or Post — it notes.D: At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.E: It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.F: Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.G: Therefore, it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you're in the daydream zone.4. 69A: Having interesting things to think about also helps.B: They stare off into space and wander by themselves.C: Without wandering minds, we wouldn't have relatively, Coke or Post — it notes.D: At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.E: It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.F: Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.G: Therefore, it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you're in the daydream zone.5. 70A: Having interesting things to think about also helps.B: They stare off into space and wander by themselves.C: Without wandering minds, we wouldn't have relatively, Coke or Post — it notes.D: At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.E: It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.F: Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.G: Therefore, it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you're in the daydream zone.

Passage TwoA new record for the oldest woman to run a marathon has been set, but it may not stand for more than a year. Harriette Thompson, 92, said that she hasn't ruled out running the Rock'n'Roll Marathon in San Diego again next year. Harriette finished in hours, 24 mi- nutes, 36 seconds, the BBC reports, coming close to the over-90 record of 7 hours, 7 minutes, and 42 seconds she set in 2014, despite having a very difficult year between marathons. "I couldn't train very well because my husband was very ill and I had to be with him for some time, and then when he died in January I had some treatments on my leg,"Thompson, who was in her 70s when she ran her first marathon, tells the AP. "I was just really thrilled that I could finish today."At 92 years and 65 days old, Thompson is 46 days older than Gladys Burrill was when Burrill finished the 2010 Honolulu Marathon.

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 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.
