The network consists of nine major routes(路线), called "lines". You can buy tickets at any underground station, at a ticket office, or from a ticket machine. Some of the ticket machines require exact money. All of the machines display "Change given" or "Exact money only" signs. The price of the ticket depends on the length of the trip. The longer the trip, the higher the cost of the ticket. Trains stop at all stations. On some trains, passengers need to press a button to open doors. Every underground train car has maps that show all the stations on the line you are traveling on. There is a map of the whole underground system in every station.Smoking is not allowed on underground trains or in stations.A map of the whole underground system can be found in_________.A. every trainB. every stationC. some train carsD. some ticket offices

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A The Thunderbird is one of the most readily recognized creatures of American Indian mythology．While the vast majority of biologists believe the Thunderbird myth to be nothing more than a spiritual symbol, some zoologists believe that the hard may actually exist． I still vividly recall seeing an impossibly large raptor（猛禽）when I was five years old, which a few people have said might be the Thunderbird．Standing in my grandmother’s back yard in Alabama, I recall watching an enormous black bird with a swallow - like tail flying directly over me from an oak tree． Its wingspan seemed to be at least three times my height, which would have made it at least fourteen feet across． While the early childhood memory is often unreliable, I clearly remember the details of the "Thunderbird"．To this very day, I sometimes stand on my grandmother' s yard, eyeballing the old oak tree, but I have not yet seen another bird that resembles the giant bird．I have seen eagles, and hawks - but never another Thunderbird． Other modern sightings of what may have been thunderbirds have also occurred．In 1977, three boys were playing in a neighborhood in Illinois．They reported that two large birds chased after them．One of the boys was attacked and suffered somewhat serious injuries, He was carried a few feet off the ground, before the bird dropped him and disappeared into the wilderness． Several people interviewed the boys and their story remained the same, even under the pressure．the description of the birds somewhat matched the Andean condor（秃鹰）; however, these massive condors have never been known to exist in the United States． Another sighting came in 2002, in Alaska, when many people reported seeing a bird with a fourteen - foot wingspan．After being investigated, it was finally concluded that the bird was most likely a particularly large sea eagle, which typically has a wingspan of six to eight fickle． I will probably never know what the strange -looking giant bird from the oak tree was, and biologists will probably never be able to fully confirm the identity of the giant raptors spotted in Illinois and Alaska．If the Thunderbird does indeed exist, it will probably continue to remain mysterious． 1．What's the best title for the passage? A．A massive bird spotted in America B．Could the thunderbird actually exist? C．Some strange birds sighed by people D．Sea eagle, condor, raptor or thunderbird? 2．What can be leant from the passage? A．Three Thunderbirds have been witnessed so far． B．The Thunderbird are similar to sea eagles in size． C．Three boys were injured by the Thunderbird in 1977. D．The huge bird left a deep impression upon the author． 3．The underlined word "eyeballing" in Paragraph 3 can be best replaced by________. A．shouting at B．facing C．looking at D．shaking 4．How is the passage mainly organized? A．By giving examples． B．By following time order C． By making comparisons． D．By presenting a general idea． B I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to conduct two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died "full of years," as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence (吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon. At the first home, the son of the dead woman said to me, "If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It's my fault that she died." At the second home, the son of the other dead woman said, "If only I hadn't insisted on my mother's going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It's my fault that she's dead." When things don't turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests(牧师) know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course - keeping Mother at home, delaying the operation would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse? There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds. The second element is the concept that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile(幼儿的) myth of omnipotence (万能). A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and orders the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile concept that our wishes cause things to happen. 1. What is said about the two dead elderly women? A. They lived out a natural life. B. They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride. C. They weren't accustomed to the change in weather. D. They died due to lack of care by family members. 2. The author had to conduct the two women's funerals probably because ________. A. he wanted to comfort the two families B. he was an official from the community C. he had great sympathy for the dead D. he was priest of the local church 3. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because ________ A. they couldn't find a better way to express their deep sorrow B. they believe that they were responsible C. they had overlooked the natural course of events D. they didn't know things often turn out in the opposite direction 4. In the context of the passage, "... the world makes sense" (Line2, Para4) probably means that_______. A. everything in the world is decided in advance B. the world can be interpreted in different ways C. there's an explanation for everything in the world D. we have to be sensible in order to understand the world 5. People have been made to believe since infancy that ________. A. everybody is at their command B. life and death is an unsolved mystery C. every story should have a happy ending D. their wishes are the cause of everything that happens C My mother has always been a follower of traditional methods when it comes to anything. She cooks traditional food，likes dressing up traditionally and likes the traditional way of shopping. She loves going to markets and going from one shop to another to find out what suits her best. She can walk miles when it comes to shopping along with her friends. She knows all the local markets and shops and knows very well where she can get best discounts（折扣）． However，now she always gets tired when she goes out in the market. So one day I decided to introduce a new shop，which is much larger than usual markets and where she can also get discounts．I am talking about online gift stores. She has a basic knowledge of computers and can operate computers. At the beginning，she was doubtful about shopping from these online gift shops because she wasn’t too sure about the quality of the products. One day I decided to get her some branded things so that she could build trust in these shops. I ordered a Timex watch and a Sisley handbag for her. She never bought things online，but when they were delivered as a gift，she jumped for joy. She could not believe that I had ordered these gifts for her despite her being not much positive about online shops. However，after she saw both the products，she was assured that these online gift shops sent the promised brands and products，she loved her new watch and handbag. After this experience she ordered a gift for her friend's wedding. She chose a gift basket that could be made according to her requirements. They sent a beautifully decorated basket with fine wines and chocolates. The basket was so artistically decorated that it became her friend's favorite gift. Since then she has been consistently shopping online. 1．What can we learn about the author's mother? A. She lives in a traditional way. B. She likes shopping very much. C. She is kind and very humorous. D. She always leads a simple life. 2．Why does the author decide to introduce a new shop to her mother? A. The new shop is much larger. B. She can't go shopping as before. C. There are more goods for her to choose from. D. The goods in the new shop are much cheaper. 3．The author decided to buy his mother some branded things＿． A. in order to please his mother B. so that she could trust in shopping online C. so that she would live a happy life in her later years D. so that she would get a surprise on Mother's Day

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
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.
