They were partying so happily that they forgot they were going to take an exam the next day.The next morning, they got up too late to take their exam. In order not to be punished, they thought of a plan which they believed was perfect. They made their clothes dirty and went to the teacher's office."Mr. Johnson, we went to a friend's house last night in another town. On the way back, our car got a flat tire(爆胎), so we had to push the cat all the way back to school. That's why we didn't make it for the exam."The teacher listened to their story, and told them in a kind voice, "It doesn't matter. I am going to give you another chance to take the test three days later." The four students thanked him and left happily.The test day arrived in the end. The teacher asked them, "I am going to put each one of you in a different room for the test. Are you OK with that?""OK", the students were fine with that because they had all studied hard. Then they got the test paper. It had only two questions.Test Paper(100 points)Your name: ________(1 point)Which tire burst(轮胎爆裂)? ________(99 points)A. Front left. B. Back left. C. Front right. D.

The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it.Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface, too. Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away. That fish might not be so big after all! It's just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!What's more, in deeper water, colors just don't seem as bright. In fact, it looks as if some colors are missing. Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths(波长)of light that are reflected(反射)from its surface. And light is taken in as it moves down through the water.Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater. Let's take a bright red, yellow, and blue wet suit as an example. These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the changes in color as you descend in the water. The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths, the longest among these three colors, are missing. As you go down deeper, the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater, you will look terrible, like a ghost! And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again!(1)You miss the object underwater when you want to touch it because ______.A.your eyesight is quite poorB.you are not quick enoughC.it is not as close as it seemsD.it disappears very quickly(2)The example of the wet suit is used to explain the change of ______ of an object under water.A.the size B.the color C.the position D.the weight(3)The underlined word "descend" probably means ______ in Chinese in this passage.A.上升 B.漂浮 C.屏息 D.下潜(4)Which of the following is true?A. four-meter-long fish looks three meters long underwater.B.The wavelengths of red light are longer than those of blue light.C.Much water will be taken in by the swimmer deep in the water.D.You will see a ghost if you go as deep as 6 to 9 meters into the sea.(5)The best title of this passage is ______.A.The Standard of Color UnderwaterB.The Direction of Light UnderwaterC.The Brightness of Color UnderwaterD.The Behavior of Light Underwater阅读短文,根据短文内容回答下列问题。Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends on ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.(1)How many pieces of advice on happiness is given in this passage? ________(2)According to this passage, what can make you happier, to think too much about the future or to enjoy life's simple pleasure? ________(3)Why do many people go dancing or play sports? ________(4)If we want to find happiness by helping others, what can we do? List two examples. ________(5)Give a proper title for the passage. ________

Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives，and not too long ago，I had one that I would like to share．This story began with a sailing trip．It's a story of pizza （比萨），sailing and being afraid of buying ice-cream with a US 20 bill．I was going to Marblehead，Massachusetts，with my Optimist （a sailboat） racing team for the New England Optimist Championship．The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph （miles per hour） when we all realized we were hungry．Luckily，we saw a rest area ahead．I was very excited，because I had a new US 20 bill．I was so excited because I had never had that kind of money before．I had money I had saved，but spending it on food seemed like throwing it away．We all rushed into the pizza line．Finally I got a cheese pizza and drink，and walked to my table．About halfway through the meal，I realized I had not actually handed my moneyto the cashier（收银员）．I had just walked out，and nobody had noticed．I felt terrible．My conscience（良知） opened its mouth and swallowed me．I couldn't get over it．I just couldn't go back to the cashier and pay for my stolen，half-eaten pizza．I would be more embarrassed than I ever had been．I was so sorry that I refused to give myself the pleasure of an ice-cream in fear that someone would say，"Hey，Jeff，why don't you use the change from the pizza instead of that nice，new US 20 bill？"I was not so proud of my money now．For the next two years，whenever I was reminded of （thought of） the"Pizza incident，"I closed my eyes and said to myself，"Don't think about it．Don't think about it．"I have learned two things from this experience．Maybe I was an unwise person for giving in to my conscience，and being too stupid to appreciate a free pizza．But I think the real lesson is that if you let being embarrassed get in the way of doing the right thing，then your conscience will catch up with you．I think this reflects the saying，"A coward （懦夫） dies a thousand deaths，a herodies one．"I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times．If I had been a"hero"and gone back up to pay for the pizza，then I would have felt a little embarrassed about it only once，or maybe twice．54．Why didn't the boy buy ice-cream？ ____ A．He wanted to save the money．B．He didn't want to eat ice-cream then．C．He didn't have enough money for it．D．He was afraid that someone would find out the fact．55． ____ pay for the pizza with his money at first．A．In order to keep the bill，he didn'tB．He completely forgot toC．His teammates told him not toD．The cashier didn't ask him to56．The underlined word"embarrassed"in the passage means ____ ．A．happy and comfortableB．disturbed and sillyC．uneasy and uncomfortableD．sad and angry57．Why did the writer think of the saying"A coward dies a thousand deaths，a hero dies one"？ ____ A．He used to be a coward then but is not now．B．He had a long terrible time for his stolen pizza．C．He would have been a hero if he had paid for the pizza．D．He wanted to die once like a hero．

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.

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.
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.
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
