The borrowing or adding of foreign words to English was a way of expanding the language. Britain had colonies in Africa, Asia, and America. These colonies are now independent, but English is still one of the languages spoken there. And the English language grew as words from native languages were added. For example, the word "shampoo" for hair soap comes from India. "Banana" is believed to be from Africa.English speakers also continue to invent new words by linking old words together. A good example is the words "motor" and "hotel". Many years ago, someone linked them together into the word "motel". A motel is a small hotel near a road where people traveling in cars can stay for the night. Other words come from the first letters of names of groups or devices. A device to find objects that cannot be seen called Radio Detecting and Ranging became "radar".People often ask how many words exist in English. Well, no one really knows. The Oxford English Dictionary lists about 615,000 words. Yet the many scientific words not in the dictionary could increase the number to almost one million. And experts are never really sure about how to count English words.What is demonstrated by the example of words "motel" and "radar"?A. English speakers keep inventing new words now and then.B. English could link old words to expand its vocabulary.C. English has become a common language.D. English has borrowed many words.
Young people are moving to cities at a faster rate than the rest of the population, according to a new Survey. It also shows the employment rate of young people is declining. The Contemporary China Youth Population Development Studies Report was released last November by the China Teenagers Research Center and China’s Population Development Studies Center at Renmin University. The report shows that, although urban birthrates are declining, the percentage of young Chinese living in cities and towns is rising faster than that of the rest of the population. This is a result of migration from the countryside to the cities. Lu Yilin, Dean of the Department of Youth Work at Beijing Youth Politics College says the cities can draw on fresh blood for future growth; the youth have a better chance to develop themselves and be in touch with new ideas. However there are also hidden difficulties. According to Lu, the urban youth who don’t have a registered permanent residence might find it hard to ensure they are treated as equals alongside those who have The high percentage of young migrants benefits the mutual interaction and communication of different regions, according to Xia Xueluan, a society expert at Beijing University. However, it can cause cultural clashes or conflicts in lifestyles. According to the report, the employment rate among people above the age of 16 is 69.7 percent, 4.4 percentage points lower than in 2000. Although the employment rate for both men and women has declined, the employment rate for women has declined by a larger margin. "Due to gender discrimination, women tend to stay in education and get higher degrees, including masters," says Hou Jiawei, a member of the research team. About 8.86 million people aged 16～29 belong to the NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) group. Experts say the NEET group can’t be simply defined as those who "feed off the parents". Xia points out that in most cases people in the NEET group are undergoing a transitional stage in their lives, during which it’s fine for them to seek help. Their longer or ultimate aim is always to find a job or study abroad.The percentage of young people living in cities is increasing because ______. A．the urban birthrates are risingB．the urban death rates are decliningC．more aged people are migrating from the cities to the countrysideD．more young people are moving from the countryside to the cities

Life expectancy is rising in much of the world. But doctors are seeing another trend that is disturbing. Some people are choosing lifestyles that contribute to early death. A new U.S. study looks at four lifestyle choices that prevent people from staying healthy and living longer.It used to be rare for people to live to 100. But babies born in the U.S. today can hope to live that long. In the 20th century, life expectancy in wealthy nations increased by as much as 30 years. Average life expectancy for Americans is 78. But doctors are seeing people adopt bad habits that can cut their lives short like eating too much or eating too much junk food, exercising too little and smoking cigarettes. These habits increase the risk for cancer, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.Researchers at Harvard University and the University of Washington wanted to find out how many years are lost with these lifestyle choices. "What we found was that high blood pressure, smoking and overweight account for five years of loss of life expectancy in men and about four years in women at the national level, " GoodarzDanaei, one of the principal researchers said. The researchers broke down the data into race, income and locale and they found even greater differences. Middle-income whites have the best blood pressure. But Asian-Americans have fewer bad habits and the best health. "They are not getting heart disease because of low blood pressure and they are not getting cancer because they have low risk factors for cancer, including smoking, " Danaei said.The researchers say public health officials could use the study to plan programs that will help people make better lifestyle choices.(3)High blood pressure, smoking and overweight can lead to .A.four years of loss life expectancy in men and five years in womenB.five years of loss of life expectancy in men while about four years in womenC.five years of loss of life expectancy in both men and in womenD.nine years of loss of life expectancy in both men and in women

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.

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.
