第二节：阅读短文，根据其内容，选择最佳选项。 Trees，are one of the oldest"citizens" of our Earth.They keep our air clean，reduce noise pollution，improve water quality and provide food and building materials. Just like us，trees change a lot as they grow.At one to three years old，young trees learn how to protect themselves.For example，many trees grow thorns to warn animals not to go near. When trees are four years old，they begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face challenges later in life.At the age of 15，trees become young adults.They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit. It is not until the tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a real adult.The tree reaches its largest size.Not only does the adult tree give us shade，oxygen and natural beauty，it is also a great place for a tree house，or a place for us to nap，read a book，listen to music or sip tea.If the adult tree receives proper care，it will continue to live healthily for many years. Gradually，trees begin to grow older and older and even die.At this time，they still have their important place in nature.When a tree becomes hollow （中空的） or part of it becomes dead，it provides a home to small animals and is a source of food for many other animals. In many ways，the life of a tree is similar to our own life experience.When looking at the life of a tree，we learn that each period of life brings it own form of joy and challenge.Enjoy every minute of it and take care of the trees!（1）According to the writer，we learn when trees are ____ and they learn to protect themselves.A.one to three years oldB.four years oldC.15 years oldD.20 to 25 years old（2）What's the Chinese meaning of the underline word "thorns"？ ____ A.藤B.果C.根D.刺（3）Which of the following about trees is NOT true？ ____ A.n adult tree gives us shade，oxygen and natural beauty.B.Many young trees grow thorns to warn animals.C.Older trees could do nothing for nature.D.An adult tree can make a great place for us to nap.（4）When trees die they will soon ____ .A.be cut down by farmersB.be protected by people who love natureC.be used as a home to small animalsD.be taken away from forests and sold out（5）What is the best title for this passage？ ____ A.The Life of Trees.B.The Love of Nature.C.Trees in Our Life.D.Loving Trees.

Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women．Career women are healthier than housewives．Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders．An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%，the death rate increases by 2%．All this comes down to one point，work is helpful to health．Why is work good for health？It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness．Researches show that people feel unhappy，worried and lonely when they have nothing to do．Instead，the happiest are those who are busy．Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard．Work serves as a bridge between man and reality．By work people come into contact with each other．By collective activity they find friendship and warmth．This is helpful to health．The loss of work means the loss of everything．It affects man spiritually and makes him ill．Besides，work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement．Work makes one feel his value and status in society．When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow，they are happy beyond words．From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be．Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life．24．The underlined word"average"in Paragraph 1means___．A．healthy B．lazy C．ordinary D．poor25．The reason why housewives are not as healthy as career women is that___．A．housewives are poorer than career womenB．housewives have more children than career womenC．housewives have less chance to communicate with othersD．housewives eat less food than career women26．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2？___A．Busy people have nothing to do at home．B．High achievers don't care about their families．C．There is no friendship and warmth at home．D．A satisfying job helps to keep one healthy．27．The best title for this passage may be___．A．People Should Find a JobB．Working Hard Is Good for HealthC．People Should Make More Friends by WorkD．The Loss of Work Means the Loss of Everything．

Packaging is an important form of advertising．A package can sometimes motivate someone to a product For example，a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character．The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food．Pictures printed on a package，or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them． Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing．Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this．Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less，people often prefer to the product in a reusable glass or dish，because they believe the container is free．However，the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product． The size of the package also motivates a buyer．Maybe the package has"Economy Size"or"Family Size"printed on it This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money．But that is not always true．To find out，a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit． The information on the package should provide some answers．But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement．The words and pictures do not tell the whole story．Only the product inside can do that． (1) .The word"motivate"in the second sentence most probably means" ______ "． A. making one deep in thought B. supplying a thought or feeling that makes one act C. providing a story that makes one moved D. making one believe that what he does is just (2) "A buyer will get something for nothing"most probably means that" ______ "． A. a buyer will get something useful free of charge B. a buyer will get what he pays for C. a buyer will gain more than he losses D. a buyer will not get what he wants to (3) People are likely to buy the product sold in a glass or dish because ______ ． A. the believe the cost of the container is included in the cost of the product B. the container is attractiveC. they think they can get the container for freeD. they have no other choice (4) Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage？ ______ A. Package is often a successful advertisement． B. Children are often made to buy a product by its package with attractive pictures． C. A buyer is also attracted by the size of the container． D. On seeing a well-designed container，a buyer often neglects （忽略） what is inside it． .

套题5.III.文章2In many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a major problem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime.The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life of farming, and have come to the town hoping for better work and pay.One possible solution to the problem would be to impose registration on town residents. Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban population would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult to enforce; it would cause a great deal of resentment, which would ultimately lead to violence.The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, health and education services should be improved. Education should include training in improved methods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitude towards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because the towns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development of the rural areas.(1)What does the word “urban” ( para.3) mean?A. bad condition B. Out of workC、In a bad condition. D、Of enormous C. ity. B、Out of workC、In a bad condition. D. Of E. normous size. F. Large numbers of farmers have poured into towns because ____B_____. G. they can hardly support their families on farms they are unhappy with their life in the countryside the rural areas are too crowded with people they hope to have their own business In the author’s view, solving the cities’ problem of overcrowding by strict registration is ______C_____. practical possible not realistic not sufficient ccording to the writer, the problem with crowded cities will e rowded cities will be solved if ____B____ traditional methods of farming are well kept conditions in rural areas are much improved the government can provide more jobs violence could be controlled in cities Which factor is most important for people to be attracted to live in the countryside? D Their expectations Their interests. Their incomes. xpectationsB、Their interests. C、Their incomes. D、Their attitudes

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.
