Paris is the city of dreams； the city of love． If you are thinking of heading to Paris for a study period， then perhaps a little reality check is in order． But my experience was a romantic one． I paved my path to Paris through an exchange program． On arrival in Paris， I was constantly reminded of the official processes I was required to complete - forms to be filled in， meetings to attend， the list seemed endless． Perhaps it was due to my well organizational habit， but somehow this endless list of to-do's was completed in little more than a week． Then the real work began． Once classes were underway， I found myself volunteering to do oral presentations and assignments first， rather than last． This method turned out to be very helpful． Once I had finished class for the week， I had an ever-increasing list of museums to visit， neighborhoods to explore， cafés to sit in， and parks to run around． Read as many books about Paris as you can． Talk to as many locals and other foreigners living there as you can． The one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is to provide you with the experience of wandering Paris on foot． I discovered some of my favorite places in Paris by wandering． The people watching， the sounds of the city， the colors as the seasons change， they all add to the ecstasy that is experiencing Paris as an exchange student． After spending five months wandering through the charming neighborhoods， I fell in love with the atmosphere that came out from every open door， and with every spoken word． There is something comforting about walking to the market each Sunday to be faced with the beautiful display of fruits， vegetables and dairy products． There is warmth in saying bonjour to the man across the hall． On my last day in Paris， I confidently said， "Bonjour Monsieur，" as I passed the little store down the street． I guess no matter how hard I tried I was always going to be an outsider， a tourist． The best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own unique way． Everyone's experience of Paris is different． I know mine is unique and special to me， my own little pieces of Paris．（1）What does the passage mainly tell us？___A．The special working experience in Paris．B．The charming neighborhoods in Paris．C．Living abroad in Paris as a student．D．The stressful study life in Paris．（2）What does the underlined word "ecstasy" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？___A．Happiness．B． Imagination．C． Courage．D． Reputation．（3）Beyond reading books， which experience would the author treasure most？___A．Enjoying a cup of coffee in his spare time．B．Greeting people in French in the street．C．Buying vegetables in the market．D．Wandering in Paris on foot．（4）According to the passage， what left the author the deepest impression？___A．The steps he went through before the exchange program．B．The presentations and assignments he did in class．C．The academic achievement he made in his study．D．The special culture he experienced in the city． .

Bad eyesight forced him to abandon his plans to attend university, so he had to choose a new course for his life. As a boy in Hartford, Connecticut, he had always admired natural beauty. So, instead of studying academics, he decided to focus on engineering and farming. In the 1850s, he ended up in charge of creating Central Park in New York City.Olmsted and a partner entered a design contest for a new park and won with a design patterned after gardens and natural landscapes that Olmsted had seen and admired around the world. To create the new park, they removed nearly 5 million cubic yards of dirt, blew up rock with 260 tons of gunpowder, and planted 270,000 trees and shrubs. In 1864, New Yorkers could have walks along wooded paths, paddle a boat around the lake, or people-watch from the hills. Today, many people cannot imagine New York City without its Central Park.Maybe it was watching those people enjoy his creation that inspired Olmsted. He became one of the first members of designing committee of Yosemite National Park because he was determined to protect its breathtaking beauty. He did the same for Niagara Falls and helped turn it into a public reserve. Working well into his seventies, Olmsted designed more parks and even an entire Chicago suburb (郊区), Riverside. And to think that bad eyesight led him to create such beautiful places!54. Which of the following shows what Olmsted did in time order?a. He studied engineering and farming. b. He took charge of creating Central Park.c. He gave up his plans to go to university. d. He took part in the designing of Yosemite National Park.e. He designed a Chicago suburb.A. a-c-b-d-e B. a-c-d-e-b C. c-a-b-d-e D. c-a-e-b-d55. Which statement would Frederick Law Olmsted agree to?A. It is not necessary for young people to go to university.B. Money provided for public parks should be reduced.C. Beauty of the natural land should be protected.D. It is a waste of time entering design contests.56. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. Olmsted designed the breathtaking Niagara FallsB. Olmsted traveled a lot before designing Central ParkC. Olmsted’s poor eyesight contributed to his great creationsD. Olmsted majored in engineering and farming in universityD Train-spottingMany people around the world have seen Danny Boyle’s movie Trainspotting starring Ewan McGregor, but how many of us really know what train-spotting is all about? Now this is not considered cool in town and the word “train-spotter” in Britain is related to “geek” or “nerd” (someone who seems very ridiculous). But is this reputation really deserved?First of all, let’s see what train spotting is. It is said that there are some 100,000 train spotters in the UK. Exactly as the title suggests, they spot trains, that is, they stand in train stations, look at the number of each train that leaves and arrives and write it down. The eventual aim is to have seen every train in the country.Being crazy about railways and trains is not modern and it dates back to 1804. As the number of trains grew and they got faster and faster, so did the interest in them grow. Is this any stranger than people who love cars?So, what do you need to be a train-spotter? Well, all you really need is a pen or pencil and a notebook to write down the train numbers. Other equipment includes hot tea in a thermos, a camera and some sandwiches for those long afternoons spent on train platforms when you don’t want to risk the delights of railway station food.It’s interesting to note that despite the “bad name” of train-spotting, there have been famous railway lovers in history, such as Alfred Hitchcock, who filmed them regularly, especially The 39 Steps. There is evidence, too, that being a train-spotter is not necessarily a strange phenomenon in Britain.One glance at the US train stations should be enough to convince you that train-spotters there are alive and well. In America, they try to call rail lovers “train-fans” and talk of “train-fanning”. Don’t let this fool you—these people are train spotters and there are a lot of them. Each month, two million pages are visited on the website 57. According to the author, what is train-spotting?A. A way of pastime. B. A type of sport.C. A strange phenomenon. D. A mental problem.58. What do train-spotters usually do?A. They keep a careful track of every train. B. They number each railway engine they view.C. They count the trains passing in front of them. D. They produce films about trains with video cameras.59. The author writes the article to ______.A. introduce some famous train-spotters B. encourage readers to do more train-spottingC. try to present a true picture of train-spotting D. describe the necessary equipment in train-spotting60. What do we learn from the passage?A. Train-spotters are much stranger than car lovers. B. Train-spotting relates to a dangerous lifestyle.C. Train-spotters in the UK tend to fool people. D. Train-spotting is more tolerated in America.

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 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.
