My Favourite Books Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series（系列）of lifestyle books.Here she picks her top reads. Matilda Roald Dahl I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful worlds.Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress，Miss Trunchbull ，are equally funny and frightening，but they're also aspirational. After Dark Haruki Murakami It's about two sisters—Eri，a model who either won't or can't stop sleeping，and Mari，a young student.In trying to connect to her sister，Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse "night people"who are hiding secrets. Gone Girl Gillian Flynn There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did，but the horror story is brilliant.There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust.It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realize what's going on is horribly enjoyable.

If successful, the tiny device will provide the moon with its first ever mobile phone network. The lunar network will support high definition streamingof video and data between the moon and earth. The network is part of a mission to the moon. This is a project with the goal of landing the first privately paid for mission to the moon. The 4G mission is set to launch from Cape Canaveral in the United States on a space X Falcon 9 rocket in 2019. Mission to the moon intends to establish and test the first elements of a communications network on the moon. The scientists working on the project opted to build a 4G rather than a fifth generation or 5G network. This is because fifth generation networks are still in testing and trial phases. This means that a 5G network may not yet be stable enough to work on the moon‘s surfaceQuestion 1：What are scientists planning to do？Question 2：Why did scientists choose to set up a 4G network in their mission？News 2It‘s responded to a fire Wednesday night at an abandoned mall in Heywood. The fire was reported at 9: 26 pm at an old shopping center on Michigan Avenue near St. Mary’s Church. Six fire engines，two trucks and two chiefs responded to the scene. Crews had the fire under control in about 45 minutes and managed to contain the fire to its point of origin. There were some people inside the building when the fire broke out but there were no reports of any injuries. Fireinvestigators have responded to the scene but have not yet determined the cause of the fire. Firefighters will remain on the scene until later this morning to ensure that the fire doesn‘t start up again. The shopping mall had not been in use since 2002. In 2014 City Hall developed a plan to knock down the building and replace it with affordable housing. However the plan was dropped due to lack of funds.Question 3：What does the news item say about the fire？Question4：What had City Hall planned to do？News3Potato chips in Japan are being sold for 6X their normal price. This is after the country‘s main manufacturer stopped sales due to a potato shortage. Storms and floods and its main potato growing region last year caused the worst harvest and more than 3decades. Local media reports suggest Calbee and its main rival Koike-ya are halting almost 50 products.“We don‘t know when we’ll be able to restart”, a company spokesman said. Snack lovers are panic buying and many supermarket shelves are bare. Japanese laws limit the amount of imported potatoes that can be used in Japanese made products. Japan says fear of disease is its main reason to block fresh imports. It still only allows potatoes from selected US states. This is only at certain times and on condition that they are processed at factories based near Japanese ports.But global warming has raised the possibility that domestic produce could be seriously affected by rare weather events more often.Question 5：What problem is Japan facing？Question 6：Whydoes Japan limit the import of potatoes？Question 7：What might affect Japanese domestic produce？Conversation 1M：Mr. Brown‘s lectures are so boring.W：Yes, he is not a very exciting speaker. But the subject is interesting.M：During every one of his lectures, I try to listen I really try. But after about 10 minutes my mind begins to wander and I lose concentration. But I see that you seem to be OK. How do you stay focused through the entire hour？W：Well, what I do is keep my pen moving.M：What do you mean？W：It‘s a method of active concentration I read about. One of the most effective ways to concentrate is to write things down. But it has to be done by hand, not typing on a keyboard. You see writing by hand forces you to actually engage with what you’re learning in a more physical way.M：Do you review your notes afterwards then？W：Sometimes but that‘s not important. My notes may or may not be useful but the point is that by writing down what Mr. Brand says I can follow his line of thinking more easily. In fact, sometimes I draw a little too.M：You draw in class and that helps me pay attention？W：Yes, honestly it works for me. I just draw little lines and nonsense really. It was also in that article I read. It can keep the mind active, prevent getting boredand help to concentrate. Again the point is to listen hard while keeping the pen moving. If I‘m at home and I need to study what I do is read out loud. It has a similar effect to writing by hand. It helps memorize information in a physical way.Question 8.What does the man think of Mr. Brown’s lectures？Question 9. What does the woman do during Mr. Brown’s lectures？Question 10. Why does the woman draw in class？Question 11. What does the woman say about reading out loud？Conversation 2M: Ann, whereis this?W: These photos are from the Taj Mahal in India. We went there about ten years ago for our honeymoon.M: Was it romantic?W: Yeah, the Taj Mahal was a very romantic place. The guide told us there is a very famous love story behind this building that all Indians learn in school. I think it was during the 1600s. And the princess at the time died while giving birth to her fourteenth child. The emperor loved the princess so much and was so sad when she died that he ordered the palace to be built in herhonor.M: Wow. That sounds very romantic. It looks amazing.W: Yes, it’s gorgeous. It’s also larger in real life than it looks in the photos. The building is very tall and there are gardens and a wall around it all. It’s all built in this white stone andsome walls of the building are decorated with jewels.M: It must have been very crowded when you were there.W: Yes, it’s a very famous tourist destination so there are thousands of visitors every day.M: Was the rest of India crowded?W: Yes, very crowdedin many cities. It was sometimes so crowded that it was difficult to walk along the streets, especially through busy markets. And there are so many cars. Traffic was terrible, but the people are friendly, the culture is amazing and we had a great time.M:What about the food?W: Indian food is great. There are lots of different dishes to try and every region has its own special food.Question 12-15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q12: For what purpose did the woman go to India?Q13: Whywas the Taj Mahal built?Q14: What does the woman say about the Taj Mahal?Q15: What is the woman’s impression of Indian cities?Passage 1A Pew Research Center survey of more than 1000 Americans conducted in April 2016 finds that Americans continue to express largely positive views about the current state of their local public libraries. For instance, around three-quarters say that public libraries provide them with the resources they need. And 66% say the closing of their local public library would have amajor impact on their community, although notably, just 33% say this would have a major impact on them personally or on their family.A majority of Americans feel libraries are doing a good job of providing a safe place for people to hang out or spend time as well as opening up educational opportunities for people of all ages. And roughly half think their libraries contribute “a lot” to their communities in terms of helping spark creativity among young people and providing a trusted place for people to learn about new technologies.As in past Pew Research Center surveys of library use, the April 2016 survey also measured Americans’ usage of and engagement with libraries. Overall, 53% of Americans age 16 and older have had some interaction with a public library in the past year – either through an in-person visit, or using a library website. Some 48% of adults specifically visited a library in the past 12 months, a modest increase from the 44% who said that in late 2015.Q16: What do most Americans say aboutlocal public libraries?Q17: How can local public libraries benefit young people?Q18: What does the 2016 survey show about adult library users?Passage 2A Savannah cat is a cross breed between a domestic cat and a serval, a medium-sized, large-eared wild African cat called the serval. The unusual cross became popular among breeders at the end of the 1990s, and in 2001 The International Cat Association (TICA) accepted it as a new registered breed.The Savannahs are tall and slim, can weigh up to 9.1 kg, making them one of the largest breeds of cats that people can know. They have a spotted coat similar to that of many types of wild cat, and their ears are very large. They are also commonly compare to dogs in their loyalty. They and can also be trained to walk on a leash and to fetch. An often-noted trait characteristic of the Savannah is its jumping ability. They are known to jump on top of doors, and high cabinets.Some can leap about 2.5 m high from a standing position. Cats are typically known for beingvery inquisitive, and so are the Savannahs. They often learn how to open doors and cupboards. Many Savannah cats do not fear water, and will play with even dive in water. Some owners even shower with their Savannah cats. Presenting a water bowl to a Savannah may also prove a challenge, as some will promptly begin to “bat” all the water out of the bowl until it is empty, using their front paws.The effects of air pollution are worst in the developing world, where in some places lost-labor income________nearly 1% of GDP. Around 9 in 10 people in low-and middle-income countries live in places where they________experience dangerous levels of outdoor air pollution.But the problem is not limited________to the developingworld.

In many European countries, where diesel(柴油)________have become more common in recent years, that number reaches tens of thousands.A)ability I)exclusivelyB)associated J)innovatedC)consciously K)regularlyD)constant L)relatesE)control M)sourcesF)damage N)undermineG)described O)vehiclesH)equalsQuestion19: What do we learn about the Savannah cats?Question20: What is characteristic of Savannah cats?Question21: What do some people do with their Savannah cats?Passage 3When children start school for their very first time, parents often feel a sense of excitement coupled with a touch of sadness of the end of the era. This is the start of a new adventure for children playing and interacting with new friends, sharing, taking turns and settling into a new routine. But of course, this is not the start of your child’s education which in fact begun at birth. Back then, you would have been your child’s most influential teachers. During this time at home, your child would have learned more than any other period in their life. During your child’s first year in school, much time will be spent in learning to read. And they need to know that this is fun and worth-well. Yourchild will naturally copy you, so it is important that you are seeing, reading and enjoying books, newspapers and magazines rather than just absorbed in screens. Ultimately, an excellent education should be a close partnership between parents and teachers. A child’s year splits fairly neatly into thirds – a third at school, a third at sleep and a third awake at home or on holiday. In respective of the quality of the school, a child’s home life is of key importance. It is the determining factor of their academic success. Your child may have started on a new journey, but your work is far from finished.

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.

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 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.
