16. Types of MusicMusic can be divided into many types, such as country music, rock, jazz, classical music and so on. Which type do you love most? Whether you love pop music or not, maybe you have heard of the famous rock band, The Beatles. This band was composed of four boys from Liverpool who brought an entirely new style to pop music. This style originated in the UK, and you may know it. A quite different style, which you may not know, began in the USA many years before and was called country music. Country music was born in the 1920s and influenced by folk songs. The golden period of country music is 1960s, when there were different types of country music, such as country blues, pop country music and rock country music. The three new types were formed by combining country music with another type. There were famous musicians, like John Denver, Kenny Rogers and Vince Gill. They pushed forward the country music to the brilliance. Rock is the combination of American country music and Negro folks, which is full of inner rebelling spirit. The style of rock is plentiful, including heavy metal, punk, rhythm-and-blues. Another type of music is jazz. Jazz came from blues and was born in New Orleans, and spread in the cultural circumstances of opening and freedom. Much jazz music is composed instantly. There are many other styles of music in our life. We are enjoying them every day.判断：Country music was born in the 1930s.A. 正确B. 错误

Wind turbines（涡轮）and solar panels that generate electricity are examples of "green" technology. A new study finds that such renewable energy might be green in another sense. Large collections of those turbines or solar panels appear capable of bringing rains to the desert and would allow more plants to grow. Building large wind or solar farms just to study their question was not an option. It would be too costly. So experts Kalnay and Safa developed a model of North Africa's Sahara Desert to find out how wind turbines and solar farms might alter the desert's climate. The team ran its model several times. In one run，it assumed that people would set up wind farms only. Another run assumed people would install just solar farms. A third assumed people would build both. They would affect the desert's weather with temperature and average daily rain increased-but differently. Installing a mix of solar farms and wind turbines brought about a bigger change-not in temperature but in rainfall. In the Sahara，having both wind and solar farms more than doubled the amount of rain that fell，up to 215.4 millimeters per day. The models predicted that the average rainfall would increase over time，as more plants grew. Plants move water from the ground to the air. Warmer air can carry more water. So as this air rises，it can ferry more water up to become clouds. Those clouds can release rain，relieving the thirst of plants below. Over time， this process repeats itself over and over. This positive feedback can greatly boost rains. Such rainfall changes could lead to better agriculture，says Safa. "More rain also would help wild plants grow. We believe that the countries in the Sahara should seriously consider investing in wind and solar power"，he added.（1）What is the new finding of the research？ ____ A. Deserts will be suitable for farming.B. It costs much to get deserts greener.C. Renewable energy can green a desert.D. Clean energy helps plants grow better.（2）What discouraged experts from building energy farms？ ____ A. High construction expenses.B. A lack of suitable test sites.C. Shortage of manpower.D. Terrible climate.（3）What was the advantage of the third run？ ____ A. Saving more energy with less cost.B. Doubling global rainfall per year.C. Raising daily rainfall in the desert.D. Decreasing temperature in the desert.（4）What may Safa advise the countries in the Sahara to do？ ____ A. Build more farms to grow crops.B. Save more water for agriculture.C. Invest in wind and solar power.D. Consider moving to other places.

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.

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.

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
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.
