What is "civilization？" asked Kenneth Clark 50 years ago in the seminal bbc series on the subject． "I don't know， and I can't define it in abstract terms， yet． But I think I can recognize it when I see it， and I'm looking at it now．" And he turned to gesture behind him， at the soaring Gothic towers and flying buttresses of Notre Dame． It seems inhuman to care more about a building than about people． That the sight of Notre Dame going up in flames and sparks flowing off everywhere has attracted so much more attention than floods in southern Africa which killed over 1，000 arouses understandable feelings of guilt． Yet the widespread， intense grief at the sight of the cathedral's collapsing steeple is in fact profoundly human-and in a particularly 21st-century way． It is not just the economy that is global today， it is culture too． People wander the world in search not just of jobs and security but also of beauty and history． Familiarity breeds affection． A building on whose sunny steps you have rested， in front of which you have taken a selfie with your loved one， becomes a warm part of your memories and thus of yourself． That helps explain why China is in mourning-WeChat， young China's principal means of talking to itself， has been throbbing with the story-while India was largely indifferent． Tourism from India to the West is a trickle compared with the flood from China． This visual age has endowed beauty with new power， and social media have turned great works of art into superstars． Only a few， though， have achieved this status． Just as there is only ever a handful of word-famous actor， so the number of globally recognizable cultural symbols is tiny： the Mona Lisa， Michelangelo's David， the Taj Mahal， the Great Pyramid-and Notre Dame． Disaster， too， is visual． In the 24 hours after the fire started videos on social media of the burning cathedral were viewed nearly a quarter of a billion times． Yet the emotions the sight aroused were less about the building itself than about what losing it might mean． Notre Dame is an repression of humanity at its collective best． Nobody could look up into that vaulted ceiling without wondering at the cumulative genius of the thousands of anonymous craftsmen who， over a century and a half， realized a vision so grand in its structural ambition and so delicate in its hand-chiselled detail． Its survival through 850 years of political turbulence-through war， revolution and Nazi occupation- binds the present to the past． The fire also binds people to each other． The outpouring of emotion it has brought forth is proof that， despite the dark forces of division now abroad， we are all in it together． When nationalism is a raising threat， shared sadness makes borders suddenly irrelevant． When politics is polarized， a love of culture has the power to unite． When extremism divides Muslim from Christian and religious people from atheists， those of all faiths and none are mourning together． An edifice built for the glory of God also represents the unity of the human spirit． And it will be rebuilt． The morning after the fire， the many Parisians who went to the cathedral to mourn its destruction found comfort instead． Although the spire is gone， the towers are still standing and it seems likely that the whole building can be revived． The effort to rebuild it， like the fire， will bring people together． Within 24 hours， €600m (677m) had been raised from businesses and rich people， and rash of crowdfunding campaigns started． A high-resolution laser scan of the building， carried out recently， should help． It will never be the same， but that is as it should be． As Victor Hugo wrote in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame， a three-volume love-letter to the cathedral： "Great edifices， like great mountains， are the work of centuries． Art is often transformed as it is being made…Time is the architect， the nation is the builder．"(1)From the first two paragraphs， we know that______．A． Kenneth Clark thinks civilization is too abstract to recognizeB． it is not wrong to care more about a building than about peopleC． floods in southern Africa arouse understandable feelings of guiltD． it is found that the collapse of Notre Dame was caused by human(2)What can we infer from the underlined sentence "Familiarity breeds affection"？______A． Indians indifference to the fire results from lack of social media．B． Chinese affection for tourism contributes to nationwide mourning．C． Taking selfies with family members brings about warm memories．D． Love for Notre Dame arises from familiar memories and experiences．(3)According to the passage， the visual age______A． makes the cultural symbols more beautiful．B． makes many cultural symbols well-knownC． makes Notre Dame disaster widespread．D． makes social media develop swiftly．(4)Which of the following is TRUE about Notre Dame？______A． The survival of Notre Dame in many disasters is a bridge between present and past．B． The building itself rather than losing the building arouses sadness among people．C． The unity of the human spirit represents shared sadness and love of Notre Dame．D． The genius of famous architects is admired when people appreciate the building．(5)What is the best title for the passage？______A． Notre Dame Fire．B． The Human Spark．C． The Beauty of Notre Dame．D． Humanity and Architecture．

Passage Two Global warming was once an uncommon term used by a few scientists who were growing concerned over the effects of decades of pollution on long-term weather patterns. Today, the idea of global warming is well known, if not well understood. It is not unusual to hear someone complaining about a hot day or a freak storm and remark, "It’s global warming. " Global warming is a significant increase in the Earth’s climatic temperature over a relatively short period of time as a result of the activities of humans. In specific terms, an increase of l or more degrees Celsius in a period of one hundred to two hundred years would be considered global warming. Over the course of a single century, an increase of even 0.4 degrees Celsius would be significant. Most scientists recognize that global warming does seem to be happening, but a few don’t believe that it is anything to be worried about. These scientists say that the Earth is more resistant to climate changes on this scale than we think. Plants and animals will adapt to subtle shifts in weather patterns, and it is unlikely anything catastrophic will happen as a result of global warming. Slightly longer growing seasons, changes in precipitation levels and stronger weather, in their opinion, are not generally disastrous. They also argue that the economic damage caused by cutting down on the emission of greenhouse gases will be far more damaging to humans than any of the effects of global warming. In a way, the scientific consensus may be a moot point. The real power to enact significant change rests in the hands of those who make national and global policy. Some policymakers in the United States are reluctant to propose and enact changes because they feel the costs may outweigh any risks global warming poses. Some common concerns, claims and complaints include: A change in the United States’ policies in emissions and carbon production could result in a loss of jobs; India and China, both of which continue to rely heavily on coal for their main source of energy, will continue to cause environmental problems even if the United States changes its energy policies (critics of these policymakers point out that this approach employs the tu quoque logical fallacy); Since scientific evidence is about probabilities rather than certainties, we can’t be certain that human behavior is contributing to global warming, that our contribution is significant, or that we can do anything to fix it; Technology will find a way to get us out of the global warming mess, so any change in our policies will ultimately be unnecessary and cause more harm than good. What’s the correct answer It can be hard to figure out. Most scientists will tell you that global warming is real and that it is likely to do sonic kind of harm, hut the extent of the problem and the danger posed by its effects are wide open for debate. Though scientists warn that global warming will likely continue for centuries because of the long natural processes involved, there are a few things we can do to decrease the effects. Basically, they all boil down to this: Don’t use as much of the stuff that creates greenhouse gases. On a local level, you can help by using less energy. The electricity that operates many of the devices in our homes comes from a power plant, and most power plants burn fossil fuels to generate that power. Turn off lights when they’re not in use. Take shorter showers to use less hot water. Use a fan instead of an air conditioner on a warm day. Here are some other specific ways you can help decrease greenhouse-gas emissions: Make sure your car is properly tuned up. This allows it to run more efficiently and generate fewer harmful gases; Walk or ride your bike if possible, or carpool on your way to work. Cars burn fossil fuel, so smaller, more fuel-efficient cars emit less CO2, particularly hybrid cars; Turn lights and other appliances off when you’re not using them. Even though a light bulb doesn’t generate greenhouse gas, the power plant that generates the electricity used by the light bulb probably does. Switch from incandescent light bulbs to fluorescent bulbs, which use less energy and last longer; Recycle. Garbage that doesn’t get recycled ends up in a landfill, generating methane. Recycled goods also require less energy to produce than products made from scratch; Plant trees and other plants where you can. Plants take carbon dioxide out of the air and release oxygen. Don’t burn garbage. This releases carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons into the atmosphere. To really stem the emission of greenhouse gases, we need to develop non-fossil fuel energy sources. Hydro-electric power, solar power, hydrogen engines and fuel cells could all create big cuts in greenhouse gases if they were to become more common. At the international level, the Kyoto treaty was written to reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Thirty-five industrialized nations have committed to reducing their output of those gases to varying degrees. Unfortunately, the United States, the world’s primary producer of greenhouse gases, did not sign the treaty. In March, 2007, former Vice President Al Gore testified in front of Congress and urged them to make some very challenging changes in national policy. These include: Freeze carbon production at the current level and create programs to reduce carbon production by 90 percent by 2050 ; Shift taxation from employment and production to a taxation upon pollution; Create an international treaty that would effectively comply with the Kyoto treaty without carrying the same perceived political baggage; halt the construction of all new coal-based power facilities unless they comply with restrictions on carbon production; increase emission standards across the board for both the automobile industry and power facilities; ban incandescent light bulbs. Gore admits that the decision to enact these and other proposed responses to global warming can be difficult, He also says that climate change is not just a crisis, but the most important crisis mankind has ever faced.The author cited the example of the probable result for the change of policy in the United States (paragraph 5) in order to （）. A．indicate the impact for the alteration in US policy can be severe B．point out the difference in policies adopted in US and that in China and India C．explain why there are obstacles in taking some measures against global warming D．convince the readers it is too expensive to stop the global warming

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.
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.

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.

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.
