单选题Passage TwoCoconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons. It is one of the largest edible seeds produced by any plant. Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world-it consists of both “meat“ and “water” inside. The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar, as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings;the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid. Portuguese(葡萄牙的) explorers gave the nut its name in the 15th century, referring to it as coco, meaning “ghost” in their language. The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost's face, and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses. It is used to make various cooking oils for fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials. The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates, providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree. This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks. Even the shell itself has many uses, including animal food and fertilizer.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit. The coconut tree, which produces the nut, also produces many useful things. It's no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life”.What does the underlined word“edible”in Paragraph 1 mean?问题1选项A. Visible.B. Collectible.C. Available.D. Eatable.

Imagine walking through someone's apartment.The rooms are almost empty,and the only piece of furniture is a simple table and folded sofa.There are no decorative objects lying around—just the essentials.You open the closet to find you can count the number of clothing items inside on one hand.The space seems more like a prison cell than a home and you may think the resident cannot afford to buy more things to fill the apartment with. It turns out that the apartment's owner is a minimalist who chooses to limit his number of belongings.Minimalism goes against consumer society by dramatically reducing possessions.Minimalists follow this philosophy to varying degrees,but they generally claim that cutting back on excess stuff leads to a more fulfilling life. With fewer possessions,they do not have to spend so much time cleaning,thinking about what they are minimizing,or trying to keep up with the latest trends.Minimalists say this frees up their time for things meaningful such as exercising,traveling,and being with loved ones. Extreme minimalism is not for everyone,but a mild form of it has gained in popularity recently,thanks to Marie Kondo's best-selling book The life-changing magic of tidying up.Kondo has become distinguished for her tidying skills,which she developed naturally.One of her main belongings is that one should only own things that one truly loves. It can be unpleasant to part with belongings,but Kondo's methods have helped minimalists remove useless things.Her technique for making space is to go through things by category,starting with clothing,then books,papers,tiny objects,and finally,memorable items.She instructs her followers to touch each object they own and keep only those that spark joy,promising that this will lead to domestic happiness. Kondo stresses that it is not about throwing things away,but about finding the things you want to remain with you and striking a balance between personal joy and possessions.Even if you are not ready to become a minimalist,you may want to consider reducing the number of things you own for it seems that letting go of things can truly make room for happiness. Paragraph 1 describes a person who probably .A. loves decorative objectsB. cannot afford the essentialsC. chooses to live a simple lifeD. has a passion for counting his clothes

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six.At this stage nearly all the teachers are women，mostly married.The atmosphere is usually very friendly，and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested.The old authoritarian(要绝对服从的)methods of education were discredited(不被认可)rather a long time ago—so much that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction. The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good.So the emphasis is on cooperation rather than competition throughout most of this process.This may seem curious，in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive；however，the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education.Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas，and obviously quite a few as criminals，but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails.It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.1.According to the passage，the US elementary education is supposed to make children ______.A.happy and petitive and interestedC.curious and friendlyD.happy and cooperative2.Some Americans complain about elementary schools because they think______.A.children are reluctant to help each otherB.schools lay too much emphasis on cooperationC.children should grow up with competitive ideasD.schools give little actual instruction to children3.The American educational system emphasizes______.A.material petitionC.cooperationD.personal benefit4.The word “sociable” most probably means______.A.fond of talking freelyB.friendly with other peopleC.concerned about social welfare(福利)D.happy at school

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.

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.
