As the world edged into financial crisis, there were repeated warnings that we were headed for disaster. In the end, disaster struck. In many ways, the challenge of climate change has a similar feel, and the alarm bells are ringing just as loudly. But while it was possible to bail out (帮助……摆脱困境) the banks and to stimulate economic recovery with trillions of dollars of public finance, it will not be possible to bail out the climate―unless we act now. Yet even when the basic science of climate change has been accepted by almost all scientists, many others still seem to think that it is groundless, and that the world has more important questions to address. Reducing poverty, increasing food production, combating (与……作斗争) terrorism, and sustaining economic recovery are seen as more deserving of our attention. But this is a false choice, for climate change is not an alternative priority to all of these; it is in fact a “risk multiplier,” a factor that will weaken our ability to achieve any of these things. For example, ending poverty so that every person has the opportunity to lead a good life is already a hugely challenging ambition, and rapid climate change will make it more so. Several studies have set out how climatic change will threaten economic development, especially in the most vulnerable (weak and easily harmed) and poorest countries. This will, in turn, damage programs to reduce poverty. Food security is already at risk because of soil erosion and the volatility (反复无常) of oil and gas prices that sustain industrial farming, while demand is rising because of population growth and changing diets. Climate change will worsen this squeeze. According to a United Nations Environment Program projection, agricultural productivity could drop by up to 50 percent in many developing countries by 2080―not least because of changed patterns of rainfall. These environmental stresses are likely to heighten social tensions. If in the future it becomes clear that the world’s big polluters knew but did little or nothing about these problems, a whole new generation of bitterness and anger might be born. With this in mind, it seems to me that we need to adopt a new approach. Surely the starting point must be to see the world as it really is, and perhaps to accept that the economy is a wholly owned subsidiary (附属品) of Nature and not the other way around. The world’s tropical rainforests provide a powerful case in point. The Earth’s ecosystems shelter more than half the Earth’s wide variety of plant and animal species, on which, whether we like it or not, human survival depends. They are home to many of the world’s native peoples, and they help meet the needs of hundreds of millions of other people. But they are being cleared and burned at a rate of about 6 million hectares per year. In addition to accelerating a mass extinction of species, this is causing massive greenhouse-gas emissions, accounting for about a fifth of the total. This is precisely why my Rainforests Project two years to help reach an agreement on increasing international cooperation to cut deforestation. Back in April, I was able to host a meeting of world leaders at St. James’s Palace in London , where it was agreed to establish a new informal working group to look at how rates of deforestation could be slowed as rapidly as possible. Through providing countries with financial rewards for their positive performance in cutting deforestation (or for not starting it in the first place), we would make it possible for rainforest nations to carry out strategies for sustainable development more quickly and without having to rely so heavily on the kind of economic activities that cause deforestation. By using innovative, long-term investment instruments, we could restore vast areas of already degraded (退化的) land to increase food output. At the same time, money would be available for new health and education programs. In return, the world would sustain the vital ecosystem services upon which we all rely for our economic, physical, and spiritual survival. 【小题】(1) 65.

A lot of people find that visualizing information is very helpful.For example, if you are trying to remember a telephone number, imagine it written down on a piece of paper. Remembering people’s names is a problem for a lot of people.I recommend that when you are introduced to someone you concentrate on his or her first name.It probably won’t offend anyone if you have to say, “What was your last name again, Sarah?” but Sarah might be upset if you forget her first name. Of course, regular breaks are important and it’s better not to work for long periods without taking one, stopping for rest about every twenty minutes is best. Finally, take care of yourself physically.Avoid substances like coffee, alcohol or drugs, because they dull the mind.And don’t forget your vitamins-B1 and B2 are particularly good for the memory.
12. (10.0分) In recent years, remote work has become increasingly popular, especially in technology and creative industries. This trend allows employees to work from home or other locations outside the traditional office. While remote work offers flexibility and reduces commuting time, it also presents challenges such as feelings of isolation and difficulties in separating work from personal life.Studies show that successful remote workers often establish a dedicated workspace and maintain regular communication with colleagues. Companies, on the other hand, need to provide the necessary tools and trust their employees to manage their tasks independently. With proper strategies, remote work can benefit both employers and employees.(单选题 2分)What is the main topic of the passage?A Office design trendsB Remote work advantages and challenges<|im_end|>(单选题 2分)What is the main topic of the passage?A Office design trendsB Remote work advantages and challenges

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.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty
