Read the following passage and give the best answer to each question with the information you have got from the passage. (20 points)Passage 1 The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral lights of others. So the massacre on the road may be regarded as a social problem. Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers’ reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The expert warned that it is vital for every driver to keep one’s emotion under control. Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations. They are at fault at most vehicle accidents; and many cyclists believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road. Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road. 1. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?________ A.To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention B.To promote understanding between careless drivers and street walkers C.To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solutions D.To warn drivers of the importance of safety driving 2.According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because___________ A.automobiles have become most destructive to mankind B.People usually pay little attention to experts’ research C.ivilization brings much harm to people D.The lack of virtue is becoming more severe 3.Why does the author mention the psychological condition of the driver in paragraph three?________ A.To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents. B.To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy. C.To show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchers. D.To illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving. 4.Who are NOT mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents?________ A.Careless bicycle-riders. B.Mindless people walking in the street. C.Irresponsible drivers D.Irresponsible manufactures of automobiles 5.Which of the following best reflects the author’s attitude toward a future without traffic problems?________ A.Doubtful yet still longing for. B.Happy and rather confident. C.Surprised and very pleased. D.isappointed and deeply worried.Passage 2 In the early days of nuclear power, theUnited Statesmade money on it. But today opponents have so complicated its development that no nuclear plants have been ordered or built here in 12years. The greatest fear for nuclear power opponents has always been a reactor ‘meltdown’. Today, the chances of a meltdown that would threatenUSpublic health are testing new reactors that not rely on human judgment to shut them down but on the law of nature. Now General Electric is already building two advanced reactors inJapan. But don’t even expect them in US shores unless things change inWashington.The procedure of licensing nuclear power plants is a bad dream. Any time during, or even after, construction, an objection by any group or individual can bring everything to a halt while the matter is investigated or taken to court. Meanwhile, the builder must add nice but not necessary improvements, some of which force him to knock down walls and start all over. In every case, when a plant has been opposed, the Nuclear Regulation Commission has ultimately granted a license to construct or operate. But the victory often costs so much that the utility ends up abandoning the plant anyway. A case in point is the Shoreham plan onNew York’sLong Island. Shoreham was a virtual twin to the Millstone plant inConnecticut, both ordered in mid 60s’. Millstone complete for 101 million dollars, has been generating electricity for two decades. Shoreham, however, was singled out by antinuclear activists, who, by sending in endless protests, drove the costs over 5 billion dollars and delayed its use for many years.Shoreham finally won its operation license. But the plant has never produced a watt power. Governor Mario Cuomo, an opponent of Shoreham start-up, used his power to forceNew Yorkpublicities commission to accept the following settlement: the power company could pass the cost of Shoreham along to its consumers only if agreed not to operate the plant. Today, a perfectly good facility, capable of serving hundreds of thousands of homes, sits rusting. 6.The author’s attitude towards the development of nuclear power is__C___ A. negative B. neutral C. positive D. questioning 7.What has made the procedure for licensing nuclear plants a bad dream?________ A.The efficiency of the Nuclear Regulation Commission B.The enormous cost of construction and operation C.The length of time it takes to make investigation D.The objection of the opponents of nuclear power 8.It can be inferred from the paragraph 2 that____________ A.there are not enough safety measures in the US for running nuclear power plants B.it is not technical difficulties that prevent the building of nuclear power plants in the US C.there are already more nuclear power plants than necessary in the US D.the American government will not allow Japanese nuclear reactors to be installed in the US 9.Governor Mario Cuomo’s chief intention in proposing the settlement was to________________ A.stop the Shoreham plant from going into operation B.urge the power company to further increase its power supply C.permit the Shoreham plant to operate under certain conditions D.help the power company to solve its financial problems 10.From which sentence of the article can you see the attitude of the author and of Governor Mario Cuomo, respectively?________ A.The 2nd sentence in the first paragraph; the 3rd sentence in the last paragraph B.The last sentence; the last sentence but one C.The last sentence in paragraph two; last sentence but one D.The last sentence in paragraph 3; the 3rd sentence in the fifth paragraphVI.

(not exceeding 10 words) In an effort to produce the largest, fastest and most luxurious ship afloat, the British built the Titanic. It was so superior to anything else on the seas that it was considered ‘unsinkable’. So sure of this were the owners that they provided lifeboats for only 950of its possible 3500 passengers. Many passengers were aboard the night it rammed the iceberg, only two days at sea and more than half way betweenEnglandandNew York, the destination. Because the luxury liner was traveling too fast, it was impossible to avoid the ghostly-looking ice-burg. An inextinguishable fire also contributed to the ship’s disaster. Panic increased the number of deaths as people jumped into the icy water or fought to be among the few to board the lifeboats. Four hours after the mishap, another ship, the Carpathian, rescued the survivors, less than a third of those originally aboard. The famous Titanic enjoyed only two days of sailing glory in its maiden voyage in 1912before plunging into 12000 feet of water near the coast of N Newfoundland, where it lies today.1.The owners of Titanic provided lifeboats for only 950passengers which were far from enough because________________2.How many days was the Titanic at sea before sinking?________________3.

阅读理解The next day, the swallow flew back to the Happy Prince, "I have come to say goodbye," he said. "Little swallow," said the Prince, "will you stay with me just one more night?" "It is winter," answered the swallow, "and the snow will soon be here. In Egypt, the sun is warm, and my friends are waiting for me." "In the town square," said the Happy Prince, "there is a young girl who sells matches. She has dropped her matches onto the ground, and now no one will buy them. Her father will hit her if she does not bring home some money, and she is crying. Take out my other eye and give it to her, and her father will not hit her.""I will stay with you one more night," said the swallow, "but I cannot take out your other eye. You will not be able to see if I do." "Little swallow," said the Prince, "do as I say." The swallow took out the Prince's other eye and dropped the jewel into the match-girl's hand. "What a lovely bit of glass," cried the little girl, and she ran home laughing. Then, the swallow flew back to the Prince. "You can not see now," he said, "so I will stay with you always." "No, little swallow," said the Prince, "You must go away to Egypt." "I will stay with you always," said the swallow, and he slept at the Prince's feet.From The Happy Prince(1)Why was the little match-girl unhappy?A.Because she was cold.B.ecause she was hungry.C.Because she could not bring home some money.D.Because she hated her father.(2)Why wasn't the swallow willing to promise to do as the Prince said?A.If so, the Prince would not be able to see.B.If so, the girl's father would hit her.C.If so, the Prince would die.D.If so, the swallow would not be able to see.(3)Why did the swallow decide to stay with the Prince?A.Because he wanted to give love to the poor together with the Prince.B.ecause his friends did not like him.C.Because he had no family.D.Because the people in the city disliked him.Have you ever paid for educational podcasts(播客)or live videos? Ask some people and most of them will say yes. "Pay-for-knowledge" has been more and more fashionable these years. The contents of these "pay-for-knowledge" products are from language learning to gardening or baby-caring. Everything you think of can be found online at this moment. "Pay-for-knowledge" is on the rise(兴起).Why is "pay-for-knowledge" industry developing so rapidly? First, its development is based on the Internet. With a fast network and a smartphone, anyone who has passed the identity(身份)check can be an online teacher, and anyone with an online account can buy "pay-for-knowledge" products that he or she wants at an affordable price. Second, people are afraid to miss any information. On one hand, people hope for more useful information.On the other hand, such information is usually at the hands of experts(专家)who serve well-known companies and universities. Moreover, the need to learn new skills in today's job market also pushes people to learn on such educational podcasts.The industry of "pay-for-knowledge" has proved to be lucrative. It promises possibilities of turning information into money. It is good for the development of our country and it can help sellers make lots of money. Besides, buyers can enjoy self-growth from it. What's more, this is a reflection(反映)of respect for knowledge and talents.However, the rapid development of "pay-for-knowledge" has a few problems. For one thing, the market is full of eye-catching words such as "How to be an Industry's Expert in 5 Hours" and "15 Classes to Be a Master of Appreciating(欣赏)Classical Music", which sound like if you pay for it, you are sure to succeed. For another, a large number of customers buy them just for showing off. In fact, those who have really had self-growth after buying online courses may be the kind of people who need them least. In other words, with or without these courses, they can make it anyway, because they are those who have the ability to learn by themselves.In general, the best is the one that suits you most. "Pay-for-knowledge" may be used as a good start for self-growth. Be careful! Otherwise, your dream of success may not come true.(1)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A."Pay-for-knowledge" products can help all the people succeed.B.People must learn from experts who serve famous companies and universities.C.People who can teach themselves need "pay-for-knowledge" products most.D."Pay-for-knowledge" products can offer people different kinds of courses.(2)What can we learn about "pay-for-knowledge" industry from Paragraph 2?A.The history of its development.B.The problems of its products.C.The causes of its rise.D.The advantages of itsproducts.(3)The underlined phrase "be lucrative" in Paragraph 3 means "________".A.enjoy self-growth B.get much information C.win great respect D.produce lots of money(4)The main purpose of this passage is to ________.A.remind people to choose "pay-for-knowledge" products wiselyB.advise everyone to learn knowledge by themselves onlineC.recommend the "pay-for-knowledge" products to peopleD.teach parents how to buy some online courses for their childrenWhen you're in school, the last thing you want to do is to work on weekends. There's homework to do, sports to play, fun to have. But our parents may persuade(劝说)us to find a job to earn money an get some life experience. When I was a teenager, I had to deliver the newspapers to people's homes. Then I got a Saturday job at a supermarket: putting everything in order on the shelves and working as a shopkeeper.Today in the UK you can work from the age of 13 and many children have part-time jobs. It is almost seen as an adult ceremony. It's an independent experience. Teenagers agreed that it taught them valuable lessons about working and managing money with adults. So that's not a bad thing!Some research suggests that not working on Saturdays or holidays may be harmful to one's later life. But recent statistics(数据统计)show 20% of the students have given up having part-time jobs in the past three years.So does this mean British teenagers are now more afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts believe young people feel that going out to work hinders(阻碍)their performance in school, they are now under more pressure(压力)to study hard, get good grades and have a good job in the long run. However, proper part-time jobs are a great way to help young people learn the skills they need in the workplace. In fact, the key is to keep a balance between taking a part-time job and having enough time to study and rest.Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. A 13-year-old girl named Rachel works in a shop on Saturday. She told the BBC: I like my job because I'm making money and it helps me to talk to people confidently and work with others closely. It seems like a valuable thing to do on a Saturday morning.(1)When I was a teenager, I ________ at first.A.had too much homework to doB.played sports with my good friendsC.delivered food to people's homesD.had a part-time job on Saturday(2)What makes some students give up part-time jobs?A.They are now more afraid of hard work.B.Taking part-time jobs may be harmful to their later life.C.Going out to work hinders their performance in school.D.Taking part-time jobs isn't a great way to help them learn skills.(3)Rachel likes her part-time job because ________. ① She can make some money. ② She can get good grades. ③ It helps her talk with people confidently. ④ It helps her get away from pressure.A.①② B.③④ C.①③ D.②④(4)The writer's purpose in writing the passage is ________.A.To introduce his own part-time job experience.B.To encourage students to take a part-time job.C.To tell students how to keep a balance between study and jobs.D.To make a survey on part-time jobs.Many people complain about their bad memory, especially when they are older. How can we improve our memory?Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them. While this undoubtedly helps short-term memory (remembering a telephone number for a few seconds, for example), psychologists(心理学家)doubt whether it can help you remember things for very long. The British psychologist E. C. Stanford seemed to prove this point when he tested himself on five prayers(祈祷文)that he had read aloud every morning for over 25 years. He found that he could remember no more than three words of some of them! More helpful, especially for remembering numbers, is grouping the information. The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919931848. But look at them in chunks, and it becomes much easier: 1492 1789 1993 1848.According to experts, there are many ways of training your memory. Many of them involve forming a mental picture of the things to be memorized. One method, which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture in your mind connected to a word you want to remember.Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember. In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill; when tested afterwards, on average, they were able to recall 90% of them!However, not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun. For those studying a large amount of information, psychologists suggest that the best way to form meaningful connections is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along. So, for example, if you were reading about a particular disease, you would ask yourself questions like: "Do people get it from water?", "What parts of the body does it influence?" and so on. This is said to be far more effective than time spent "passively" reading and re-reading notes.(1)Which of the following is TRUE about repeating things according to the passage?A.It helps short-term memory for sure.B.It makes remembering things interesting.C.It helps to remember things for long.D.It makes remembering prayers effortless.(2)The underlined word "chunks" in Paragraph 2 probably means "________".A.details B.turns C.groups D.lines(3)What can we infer from the passage?A.Creating a picture is useful in learning Maths.B.Inventing a prayer trains our memory quickly.C.Remembering long numbers is easy for people.D.Asking yourself questions activates the memory.(4)What's the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?A.To complain that his memory is bad.B.To recognize some memory problems.C.To explain some memory experiments.D.To share some ways of improving memory..

You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Pasta意大利面食、面团 is no longer off the menu, after a new review of studies suggested that the carbohydrate can form part of组成、形成 a healthy diet, and even help people lose weight. For years, nutritionists have recommended that pasta be kept to a_I_ 26_minimum_, to cut calories, prevent fat build-up and stop blood sugar_L_ 27_ shooting_ up.The low-carbohydrate低碳水化合物 food movement gave birth to such diets as the Atkins, Paleo and Keto, which advised swapping交换、代替 foods like bread, pasta and potatoes for vegetable, fish and meat. More recently the trend of swapping spaghetti for vegetables has been_B_ 28_championed冠军、拥护者 _ by clean-eating experts.But now a_N_ 29_systematic有系统的 _ review回顾、评论 and analysis of 30 studies by Canadian researchers found that not only does pasta not cause weight gain, but three meals a week can help people drop more than half a kilogram over four months. The reviewers found that pasta had been unfairly demonized (妖魔化) because it had been_G_ 30_ lumped集中地_ in with other, more fat-promoting carbohydrates."The study found that pasta didn't_E_ 31_contribute_ to weight gain or increase in body fat," said lead author Dr John Sievenpiper. "In_O_ 32_weighing_ the evidence, we can now say with some confidence that pasta does not have an__A 33_adverse(不利的、敌对的、逆的)_ effect on body weight outcomes when it is consumed as part of a healthy dietary pattern."

Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.N.t Retailers Combine Bricks and ClicksO.tour of an intensive care unit. The internet is apparently taking down yet another industry. Brick and mortar stores (实体店) seem to be going the way of the yellow pages. Sure enough, the Census Bureau just released data showing that online retail sales surged 15.2 percent between the first quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.P.But before you dump all of your retail stocks, there are more facts you should consider. Looking only at that 15.2 percent "surge" would be misleading. It was an increase that was on a small base of 6.9 percent. Even when a tiny number grows by a large percentage terms, it is often still tiny.Q.More than 20 years after the internet was opened to commerce, the Census Bureau tells us that brick and mortar sales accounted for 92.3 percent of retail sales in the first quarter of 2016. Their data show that only 0.8 percent of retail sales shifted from offline to online between the beginning of 2015 and 2016.R.even a Presidential candidate exclaiming that Amazon has a "huge antitrust problem," the Census data suggest that physical retail is thriving. Of course, the closed stores, depressed executives, and sinking stocks suggest otherwise. What's the real story?S.in trouble. The retail industry is getting "reinvented," as we describe in our new book Matchmarkers. It's standing in the path of what Schumpeter called a gale (大风) of creative destruction. That storm has been brewing for some time, and as it has reached gale force, most large retailers are searching for a response. As the CFO of Macy's put it recently, "We're frankly scratching our heads."T.the dot. com bubble, brick and mortar retail was one of these industries the internet was going to kill—and quickly. The dot. com bust discredited most predictions of that sort and in the years that followed, conventional retailers' confidence in the future increased as Census continued do report weak online sales. And then the gale hit.U.increasingly clear that retail reinvention isn't a simple battle to the death between bricks and clicks. It is about devising retail models that work for people who are making increasing use of a growing array of internet-connected tools to change how they search, shop, and buy. Creative retailers are using the new technologies to innovate just about everything stores do from managing inventory, to marketing, to getting paid.V.H) More than drones dropping a new supply of underwear on your doorstep, Apple's massively successful brick-and-mortar-and-glass retail stores and Amazon's small steps in the same direction are what should keep old-fashioned retailers awake at night. Not to mention the large number of creative new retailers, like Bonobos, that are blending online and offline experiences in creative ways.W.I) Retail reinvention is not a simple process, and it's also not happening on what used to be called "Internet Time." Some internet-driven changes have happened quickly, of course. Craigslist quickly overtook newspaper classified ads and turned newspaper economics upside down. But many widely anticipated changes weren't quick, and some haven't really started. With the benefit of hindsight (后见之明), it looks like the internet will transform the economy at something like the pace of other great inventions like electricity. B2B commerce, for example, didn't move mainly online by 2005 as many had predicted in 2000, nor even by 2016, but that doesn't mean it won't do so over the next few decades.X.J) But the gale is still blowing. The sudden decline in foot traffic in recent years, even though it hasn't been accompanied by a massive decline in physical sales, is a critical warning. People can shop more efficiently online and therefore don't need to go to as many stores to find what they want. There's a surplus of physical shopping space for the crowds, which is one reason why stores are downsizing and closing.Y.k and shop, and buy. Now, just about everyone has a smartphone, connected to the internet almost everywhere almost all the time. Even when a retailer gets a customer to walk in the store, she can easily see if there's a better deal online or at another store nearby.Z.l this is to open online stores, so people will come to them directly rather than to Amazon and its smaller online rivals. Many are having the same problem that newspapers have had. Even if they get online traffic, they struggle to make enough money online to compensate for what they are losing offline.[.m to be making this work. Among large traditional retailers, Walmart recently reported the best results, leading its stock price to surge, while Macy's, Target, and Nordstorm's dropped. Yet Walmart's year-over-year online sales only grew 7 percent, leading its CEO to lament (哀叹), "Growth here is to slow." Part of the problem is that almost two decades after Amazon field the one-click patent, the online retail shopping and buying experience is filled with frictions. A recent study graded more than 600 internet retailers on how easy it was for consumers to shop, buy, and pay. Almost half of the sites didn't get a passing grade and only 18 percent got an A or B..n the ground in physical retail is hard to square with the Census data. Unfortunately, part of the explanation is that the Census retail data are unreliable. Our deep look into those data and their preparation revealed serious problems. It seems likely that Census simply misclassifies a large chunk of online sales. It is certain that the Census procedures, which lump the online sales of major traditional retailers like Walmart with "non-store retailers" like food trucks, can mask major changes in individual retail categories. The bureau could easily present their data in more useful ways, but they have chosen not to.].o because they have successfully reinvented themselves, which new players will operate busy stores on Main Streets and maybe even in shopping malls, and how the shopping and buying experience will have changed in each retail category. Investors shouldn't write off brick and mortar. Whether they should bet on the traditional players who run those stores now is another matter.

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.

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.
