Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own. Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one's free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature. Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. 1.Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the cityB. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country. C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city. 2.With the same money needed for________, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country. A. getting a small flat with a garden B. having a small flat with a gardenC. renting a small flat without a garden D. buying a small flat without a garden 3.When the garden is in blossom, that one ________ has been rewarded. A. living in the country B. having spent time working in the garden C. having a garden of his own D. having been digging, planting and watering 4.People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that ______ if they had to live outside London. A. their life was meaningless B. their life was invaluable C. they didn't deserve a happy life D. they were not worthy of their happy life 5.The underlined phrase "get away" from in the 3rd paragraph refers to ________. A. deal with B. do away with C. escape fromD. prevent away
Shanghai-born novelist Lu Shi'e wrote a fantasy novel called New China in 1910. In the book he described a dream where trains were running underground, an iron bridge crossed the Huangpu River and Shanghai hosted a successful World Exposition in the underdeveloped Pudong area at that time. The blueprint(蓝图) described in the novel became real exactly after 100 years. On May 1, 2010, the World Exposition, with 158 years of history, drew back its curtain from Shanghai. According to a source at the Organizing Committee(组织委员会) of the World Exposition 2010 Shanghai, it is expected to attract more than 70 million visitors, making it the most popular exposition in history. It is also the first time the World Exposition is held in a developing country. About 600 years ago, Shanghai was just a small fishing village in China's eastern coastal area. It grew into a commercial(商业的) city thanks to its prosperous(繁荣的) port and, over the course of 100 years, Shanghai became among the first Chinese cities to open its doors to the world. Along the way, it became the economic and commercial hub of China. Today, Shanghai is developing into an international metropolis(大都会). Answer the following questions according to the passage. 1、Was the novelist Lu Shi'e born in Shanghai? 2、When did the blueprint become real? 3、How many visitors will Shanghai Exposition attract according to the source? 4、What was Shanghai like about 600 years ago? 5、What's the passage mainly about?

Last Thursday，the French Senate passed a digital services tax，which would impose an entirely new tax on large multinationals that provide digital services to consumers or users in France Digital services include everything from providing a platform for selling goods and services online to targeting advertising based on user data，and the tax applies to gross revenue from such services.Many French politicians and media outlets have referred to this as a "GAFA tax" meaning that it is designed to apply primarily to companies such as Google.Apple.Facebook and Amazon -in other words，multinational tech companies based in the United States. The digital services tax now awaits the signature of President Emmanuel Macron who has expressed support for the measure.and it could go into effect within the next few weeks.But it has already sparked significant controversy.with the United States trade representative opening an investigation into whether the tax discriminates against American companies.which in tum could lead to trade sanctions against France. The French tax is not just a unilateral move by one country in need of revenue.Instead the digital services tax is part of a much larger trend，with countries over the past few years proposing or putting in place an alphabet soup of new international tax provisions.These have included Britain's DPT（diverted profits tax），Australia's MAAL（multinational anti-avoidance law）.and India's SEP（significant economic presence），to name but a few.At the same time，the European Union，Spain，Britain and several other countries have all seriously contemplated digital services taxes. These unilateral developments differ in their specifics，but they are all designed to tax multinationals on income and revenue that countries believe they should have a right to tax even if international tax rules do not grant them that right.In other words，they all share a view that the international tax system has failed to keep up with the current economy. In response to these many unilateral measures.the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development （OECD） is currently working with 131 countries to reach a consensus by the end of 2020 on an international solution Both France and the United States are involved in the organizations' work，but France's digital services tax and the American response raise questions about what the future holds for the international tax system. France's planned tax is a clear warning：Unless a broad consensus can be reached on reforming the international tax system，other nations are likely to follow suit，and American companies will face a cascade of different taxes from dozens of nations that will prove burdensome and costly.（1）The French Senate has passed a bill to ____ .A.regulate digital services platformsB.protect French companies' interestC.impose a duty on tech multinationalsD.curb the influence of digital technology（2）It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that the digital services tax ____ .A.may trigger countermeasures against FranceB.is apt to arouse criticism at home and abroadC.aims to ease international trade tensionsD.will prompt the tech giants to quit France（3）The countries adopting the unilateral measures share the opinion that ____ .A.redistribution of tech giants revenue must be ensuredB.the current international tax system needs upgradingC.tech multinationals monopoly should be preventedD.all countries ought to enjoy equal taxing rights（4）What can we infer from the passage？ ____ A.OECD's current work on the international tax system has uncertain prospects.B.France's digital services tax mirror in detail Britain's DPT，Australia's MAAL and India's SEP.C.France's digital services tax is targeted on such companies as Google，Apple，Facebook and Amazon and their users.D.Other nations are likely to follow the example of France and make a ioint effort to impose taxes on American multinationals.

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 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.

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.
