Big changes in agriculture are taking place，in Singapore.The small，Southeast Asian nation is leading a farming revolution. Singapore covers 724 square kilometers of land and only one percent of that land is used for agriculture.Food production costs are higher there than the rest of Southeast Asia.As climate change and population growth threaten food supplies，the pressure is on new farmers to answer the government's call "to grow more with less". "Whenever I talk about food security in Singapore.I tell people don't think land-think space because you can go upwards and sideways." said Paul Teng，an agriculture professor at Nanyang Technological University. There are more than 30 vertical（垂直的）farms in Singapore-ones that grow up，not across，the land.Sustenir Agriculture is one of these businesses.Its hydroponic（水栽法的）farm grows non-native foods like cherry tomatoes and strawberries inside buildings under artificial（人工的）lighting.Then it sells the produce to local supermarkets and online stores.Sustenir raised ＄16 million from investors（投资人）last year.The money will be used to expand operations in Singapore and open in HongKong. However，not everyone thinks the new technology is best.Egg farmer Milliam Hosays the government should not depend so much on agriculture technology businesses ."Many of them have failed.That's why I'm always asking the government 'Why don't you invest in us old-timers？' We are more practical，" he said.Professor Paul Teng said an issue for urban farmers is that the high cost of the technology makes their products.too pricey for many people.（1）What is the second paragraph mainly about？ ______A.High food production costs.B.Reasons for changes in agriculture.C.Agricultural technology businesses.D.Sale expansion of food markets.（2）What is the way to achieve food security according to Paul Teng？ ______A.Expanding farmland upwards.B.uying more food.C.Developing facilities.D.Investing more money.（3）What do we know about the old-timers？ ______A.They work on high-tech farms.B.They benefit from pricey products.D.They need government's support.C.They reduce production costs.（4）What is the author's purpose of writing this passage？ ______A.To criticize people's traditional view of farming.B.To support the growth of vertical farming in Singapore.C.To introduce the latest development in Singapore's agriculture.D.To emphasize the importance of traditional agriculture.

Answer the following questions (回答问题). Types of jobs and people's personality There are six basic categories of occupations, as developed by Professor John L. Holland, a psychology professor from Johns Hopkins University. Here, four are mentioned.Type A—Realistic Jobs These are mainly skilled trades or technical jobs, usually involving work with tools or machines. People who are attracted to realistic jobs are usually robust, practical, physically strong and frequently competitive in outlook. They usually have good physical coordination, but sometimes they have trouble expressing themselves in words or in talking with others. They prefer to deal with things rather than with ideas or with people. They enjoy creating things with their hands.Type B—Conventional Jobs These are usually office jobs where people work with organizations, files and regular schedules. Conventional occupations include bookkeeper, statistician, bank teller, secretary, financial analyst, office manager, computer operator, bank cashier and accountant. Conventional jobs usually require a fair amount of writing, but it is usually the writing of business letters and regular reports. Type C—Investigative (研究性的) Jobs These are scientific and laboratory jobs where people investigate how the world is put together. The tasks involved in investigative jobs are scientific or laboratory in nature, and usually involve trying to solve some puzzles, whether the puzzle is a large, mysterious problem such as how the universe came into being, or a more normal, daily problem such as figuring out the composition of a sample of blood taken from a patient in a clinic.Type D —Artistic Jobs These are creative jobs where people work with words or music or art. The tasks involved in artistic occupations usually involve working with words, music or other art forms. Decorating rooms, designing homes, or doing portrait photography are other examples of artistic activities. Artistic jobs are found in settings such as museums, art galleries, music departments, interior decorating offices, music stores, theater groups, photographic studios, radio and television studios and any place where artistic skills are used and/or taught. 1.

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.

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

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.
