Passage TwoThe current global financial crisis, which has brought the financial system virtually to its knees, is a both cause and symptom of a deeper systemic crisis of capitalism.The left has been trumpeting (大肆宣扬) the crisis of capitalism for many years. And like the boy who cried wolf, the left’s cries can no longer be ignored if the flock is to be saved.The current crisis manifests profound, unresolved problems in the real economy. The combination of the weakness of underlying capital accumulation and the meltdown of the banking system is what’s made its potential for disaster so serious.There have been financial bubbles in South Africa that are likely to burst with similar results to those seen in the U.S. All the more so since South Africa not only has an unregulated derivatives market (衍生品市场)but is offering to make this practice subject to further deregulation under the World Trade Organization’s services agreement GATS.Equally serious is the dependence of the South African economy on extremely unstable speculative capital to keep the economy afloat. For some years now we have been living beyond our means, where the costs of our imports far out-weigh revenue from exports. We are not earning sufficient foreign currency to pay for these imports, which, in turn, has made us dependent on attracting short-term speculative investment to allow us to continue on this unsustainable path. It encourages investment in the financial sector and consequently discourages investment in the real economy, such as in expanding factory production, agriculture, etc. Similarly, it imposes limits on public investment in social spending as government follows the same logic.All of this is an outcome of an economic policy which removed controls on the financial sector. This process, known as liberalization, made it easier for investors to take their money in and out of the country and to make greater profits from speculative investment. But it is precisely the policies of liberalization and deregulation that render the South African economy vulnerable to the global financial crisis.This brings us full circle: the financial crisis must be understood as an outcome of a weak capitalism unable to generate profit through investment in the productive sectors of the economy. Policies aimed at resolving the problems of growth are just aggravating the situation, exposing the system to repeated crisis.(1) (单选题)Why does the author say “the left’s cries can no longer be ignored”(Para. 2)?A.Because the boy who cried wolf should be saved.B.ecause the left has been crying for many years.C.Because a deeper systemic crisis of capitalism has shown upD.Because the left has a serious financial crisis.(2) (单选题)What does “this practice” refer to in the sentence “...to make this practice subject to further deregulation… ” (Para. 4)?A.The financial bubblesB.The derivatives market.C.The crisis of capitalism.D.The real economy.(3) (单选题)Why is investment in the real economy discouraged in South Africa according to the passage?A.Because the economy in South Africa is heavily dependent on short-term speculative investment.B.ecause South Africa has put too much investment in import and does not have enough money.C.Because South Africa has not earned profit from export to invest in the real economy.D.Because the situation in South Africa is unstable and thus its economy is unsustainable.(4) (单选题)Which of the following is NOT one of the factors that render the South African economy vulnerable to the global crisis?A.Less control on the financial sector.B.Short-term speculative investment.C.The unregulated derivatives market.D.The expanding of factory production, agriculture, etc.(5) (单选题)It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.a cure has been found for the present capitalist systemB.the financial crisis is unavoidable mainly due to the present banking systemC.the weak capitalism is to be replaced by another new systemD.some initiatives need to be undertaken to save the weak capitalismA. 异丙嗪1B. 尼可刹米2C. 氢化可的松3D. 盐酸肾上腺素4E. 去甲肾上腺素盐酸肾上腺素

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
