Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.For anybody who ever failed a maths test, something marvelous happened in Stockholm on December 10, 2000. A soft-spoken fellow from Kansas — a guy who was turned down by the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) because his maths scores were too low and who never had much formal physics training — received the Nobel Prize in physics. This is slightly ironical, because Jack St Clair Kilby is not a physicist.The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences was willing to overlook that minor detail, though, because Kilby did, after all, come up with the most valuable invention of the past half-century: the microchip. Jack Kilby's idea sparked the information age. The tiny silicon chip at the heart of all digital devices has arguably become the most important industrial commodity since crude oil. Without the chip, there could be no personal computers or mobile phones, no Internet or PlayStations. The semiconductor integrated circuit has changed the world as fundamentally as did the light bulb, the telephone and the horseless carriage. But somehow the man who made the microchip has never achieved the recognition that Edison, Bell and Ford enjoyed. Thanks to the Nobel Prize, at age 78, Jack Kilby finally received the attention he deserved.16. Kilby is a(n) ____.A. AmericanB. FrenchmanC. SwedishD. Englishman
Their attention to the minor details of everyday life enabled them to depict an extremely ______ picture of past days.A. fertileB. logicalC. liberalD. vivid

A few days ago I asked my sons' governess（女家庭教师）Julia to come into my study． "Be seated， Julia， " I said， "Let's settle our accounts． I guess you most likely need some money， but maybe you're too polite to mention it． Now then， we agreed on thirty dollars a month…" "Forty．" "No， thirty． I made a note of it． I always pay our governess thirty． Well， um， you've been here two months， so…" "Two months and five days．" "Exactly two months． I made a special note of it． That means you have sixty dollars coming to you． Take off nine Sundays…you know you didn't work with Tom on Sundays， you only took walks． And three holidays…"Julia was biting her finger nail nervously， her face red， but- not a word． "Three holidays， therefore take off twelve dollars． Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons， as you were occupied only with Dick． Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch． Twelve and seven-nineteen． Take nineteen off …that leaves…hmm…forty one dollars． Correct？" Julia's left eye reddened with tears welling up． Her chin trembled（颤抖）； she coughed nervously and blew her nose， but - still not a word． "Around New Year's Day you broke a teacup and a saucer； take off two dollars． The cup cost more， it was a treasure of the family， but forget it． When didn't I take a loss! Then， due to your neglect（疏忽）， Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket； take away ten． Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick's shoes． You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it． So， that means five more dollars off． The tenth of January I gave ten dollars．" "You didn't． "sobbed（哭泣） Julia． "But I made a note of it．" "Well…if you say so．" "Take twenty seven from forty one - that leaves fourteen．" Both her eyes were filled with tears． Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose． Poor girl! "Only once was I given any money，" she whispered， her voice trembling， "and that was by your wife． Three dollars， nothing more．" "Really？ You see now， and I didn't know that! Take three from fourteen…leaves eleven． Here's your money， my dear． Three， three， three， one and one． Here it is !" I handed her eleven dollars． She took them and pocketed them． "Merci （Thanks），"she whispered． I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room． I was overcome with anger． "For what， this ‘merci'？" I asked． "For the money． " "But you know I've cheated you - robbed you! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this ‘merci'？" "In my other places they didn't give me anything at all．" "They didn't give you anything？ No wonder! I played a little joke on you， a cruel lesson， just to teach you…I'm going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you…Is it really possible to be so spineless（懦弱）？ Why didn't you protest（反抗）？ Why were you silent？ Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）- to be such a fool？" Embarrassed， she smiled． And I could read her expression， "It is possible．" I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and， to her great surprise， gave her the eighty dollars． She murmured her little "merci" several times and went out． I looked after her and thought， "How easy it is to crush（压碎） the weak in this world !"（1）What surprised the writer was Julia's ____ ．A． nervousness in front of her bossB． unwillingness to express herselfC． shyness when talking about moneyD． acceptance of being treated unequally（2）The writer said， "Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws？" He was actually telling the governess ____ ．A． to be more negativeB． to be more careful in her workC． to protect her rightD． to live on her own（3）At the end of the story， the writer said，" How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!" to show ____ ．A． his pity for those treated unfairlyB． his worry about Julia's futureC． his concern on the living condition of working-class peopleD． his understanding of Julia's anxiety（4）From the story， we can tell that Julia's employer was ____ ．A． greedy（贪婪的） but honestB． ill-tempered（坏脾气的） but warm-heartedC． strict but forgivingD． none of the above

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

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 coming of the railways in the 1830s ________ our society and economic life.A. transferredB. transformedC. transportedD. transmitted
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.
