One summer evening as I was cooking dinner, there was a knock at the door. I opened it and saw an old man. But his voice was pleasant as he said, “Good evening. I come to see if you have a room for just one night. I live far away from here, and there's no bus till next morning. ” I told him we would find him a bed, but it was not comfortable. I went inside and cooked dinner. When we were ready, I asked him if he would like to join us. “No, thank you. I have plenty.” When I had finished the dinner, I went out to talk with him. He told me he fished for a living to help his daughter, her five children, and her husband, who was ill and too weak to do anything. At bedtime, we put a bed in the children's room for him. On his next trip, as a gift, he brought a big fish and some fresh vegetables. In the years he came to stay overnight with us, and there was never a time he did not bring us some fish or vegetables from his garden. I know it was thankful for our family to know him, from whom we learn what was to accept the bad without a complaint( 抱怨 ) and the good with thanks. 1Why did the old man go to the writer's house? A. To give a fish to the writer. B. To stay for the night. C. To sell some fish. D. To ask for some money. 2 How many people were there in the old man's daughter's family? A. Two. B. Four. C. Six. D. Seven. 3 Which of the following is true? A. The old man stayed for the night with the writer only once. B. The old man came to the writer's house to ask for some food. C. The old man came to stay with the writer for the night many times. D. The old man felt lonely because he had no son or daughter. British people are famous for drinking tea. But brother and sister, Sarah and Bobby Green, became young millionaires ( 百万富翁 ) when they opened a chain of American-style coffee shops in the UK. Having the idea : It started when Sarah took a weekend trip to New York to visit her brother Bobby. One evening, in a Thai restaurant, Sarah told Bobby how much she wished she could buy American-style coffee in London. Bobby suggested they started their own coffee shop. Sarah fell in love with the idea. Doing the research : Back in London, she spent a whole day on the London subway, getting off the train at different stations to taste the coffee. “It was terrible, and I knew there was a gap ( 空缺 ) in the market.” In 1995, they opened their first Coffee Republic shop in the center of London. Making it work : The first year was very difficult. British people were not used to the names of American coffees, like latte and macchiato. But being successful was their dream and they were not going to give up. Today, there are over 100 Coffee Republic shops all over the country and the company has ￡ 30 million a year. Advice for others : Sarah has now written a best-selling book about their experience, called Anyone Can Do It ! She hopes it will help other young people to start their own businesses. She says, “If you think you have the energy, then get out and follow your dream.” 4What kind of company do they run?A. A fast-food restaurant. B. A tea shop. C. A coffee shop. D. A big hotel. 5 Where are their Coffee Republic shops?A. All over the UK. B. All over the US. C. In the center of London. D. In New York. 6Which information is mentioned in the passage? A. Sarah was not interested in Bobby’s idea. B. British people never drank coffee before 1995. C. Sarah’s best-selling book is about how to make coffee. D. Sarah found a business chance while doing the research. Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B. C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world's population is left-handed. Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person's two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain( 脑 ) . The right side of the brain, which makes a person's hands and eyes work together, controls( 控制 ) the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged( 伤害 ) when they are born. However, this doesn't happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene( 基因 )for right-handedness, he/she may become either right-handed or left-handed according ( 根据 )to the chance and the people they work or live with. Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don't have to. 7 After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found ____________. A. the art began from 1,500 B. C. B. the works of art ended in the 1950s C. most people shown in the works of art are right-handed D. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed 8 How many people in the world are left-handed now? A. Less than one sixth. B. More than a half. C. About 40%. D. The passage doesn't tell us. 9 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed. B. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed. C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only. D. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness. 10 What is the best title for this passage? A. Left-handed People B. Scientists' New Inventions C. Which Hand D. Different Brains, Different Hands

For each question, choose the correct answer.The people below all want to see a musical show at the theatre.On the opposite page there are eight reviews of shows.Decide which show would be the most suitable for the people below. 1 Erika wants to see a show with music and which has famous actors in the lead role. She'd like it to be based on a book and contain many different types of music. 2 Guillermo would like to go to a show that's funny and is about a real person. He's looking for one with some music in it, but with more speaking than singing. 3 Neelam wants to see a musical show which contains lots of special effects and would like to watch it in an unusual place. She'd like to see a love story. 4 Oumar wants to go to a show that's a bit frightening. He'd like to see a story set in the past and realistic costumed from the period. 5 Mira wants a show with dancing, as well as songs by well-known musicians. She'd like the music to be in a range of styles from around the world. The best musicial shows in townA.Glad!Glad! tells the story of a teenage girl whose dreams of becoming a famous musician come true with the help of some special （and amusing） friends. The costumes and songs are amazing, and although it's fiction, it has the feel of a real-life story. It's so far one week only, on a temporary stage in the football stadium.B.Mary WrightThe two well-known lead actors in this 16th-century drama are surprisingly good dancers, and the music created quite a scary atmosphere. The clothes by top designer Jean-Luc Filbert are historically accurate and look absolutely wonderful.C.The Amazing Mr MasonThis unusual musical is based on a famous story writing over 400 years ago. The hero falls in love with a princess who's forced to move to another country. There's quite a lot of speaking for a musical, but the ending's a surprising pleasure.D.The End of SummerYou've probably read the novel which this musical comedy tacks its story from, but you won't recognise the songs, as they were specially written for the show. Several songwriters were needed, due to the wide variety of music the producers wanted. The stars, who you'll probably recognise from TV, are fantastic.E.Keeping TimeKeeping time is based on the real-life story of the popular group Marcellous, and includes this best work. We see how having members from three different continents allowed them to create songs using music from each place. Unusually, there's ballet in this show, but it goes surprisingly well with their music.F. No ExitWith its use of film and advanced technology to make it seem like the characters appear in two places at once, this spectacular musical starts off as an old-fashioned ghost story but quickly turns into a highly entertaining romantic comedy. The fact that the show is performed in an old factory building only adds to the enjoyment.G.Tiger PrinceThe Tiger Prince leaves his jungle home and comes to the city in this fabulous musical. The story isn't particularly original but the computer-controlled light show goes perfectly with the amazing dance routines to make this a must-sea show.H.The Final WhistleIf you're tired of serious dramas and dull love stories, why not give this laugh-a-minute show a try? The true story of basketball player Andy Hammond is cleverly told. Despite being advertised as a musical show, it actually has very few songs. You'll love all the brilliant jokes and entertaining conversations. (1) Erika wants to see a show with music and which has famous actors in the lead role.

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.
