Passage OneWhen Joy's mother was six months pregnant with her, the doctor said, "I'm sure you have a little lady in there." Joy's parents told all their relatives and friends that their baby was a girl. Gifts, including dresses and dolls, soon began arriving.A few years later, Joy's brother, Tommy, was born. He received books and a football as gifts. Joy liked helping her mother take care of the new baby. She also really enjoyed playing with other girls at school.This year, Tommy also entered school, where he and Joy play very different games. Joy loves jumping rope with her two best friends, while Tommy likes to play ball with a large group of boys.Both Joy and Tommy are growing up in America, and are learning what it means to be a girl and a boy in their culture. Their sex at birth, female and male, is becoming their gender—a way of thinking, speaking, and acting that is considered to be either feminine or masculine. Gender differences are even reflected, very early in life, in the way that girls and boys use language.For example, in America, boys and girls usually play in same-sex groups. Boys might play in large groups in which every boy knows his place. Some are leaders; others are followers. Boys compete with one another for leadership and like to get attention by talking about how well they can do things.Girls, on the other hand, usually play in smaller groups, and often with only one or two "best friends". Most females want other girls to like them, and thus are interested in playing fairly and taking turns.Experts have found that these differences are reflected in the ways that children use language while they play. Boys, like Tommy, often use commands when they talk to each other, saying things like "You go first. Don't wait for me." However, when Joy wants to influence her friends, she may say, "Let's try it this way. Let's do this," suggesting instead of using a command.As Joy and Tommy grow up, they will continue to speak differently. In junior high school, Joy's position will depend on her circle of friends. If her friends are popular, then Joy may be too. Thus, when Joy has some information to share about a popular person at school, this proves that she has a friendship with this girl. In this way, Joy emphasizes her position within the school. Tommy, on the other hand, becomes popular through his own ability to play sports or to earn high grades.According to American culture, Joy may continue, as an adult, to be interested in talking about other people and their lives, while Tommy may be more concerned with discussions of sports and news. Their topic tastes, therefore, may be quite different.At each of life's stages, then, it is clear that culture certainly affects how both genders communicate with one another.31. When Tommy was born, the gifts he got showed that people expected him to be______.A. quietB. forcefulC. cheerfulD. weak32. What kind of game does Joy love? She loves to______.A. jump ropeB. play basketballC. play footballD. play table tennis33. What does "every boy knows his place" in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Every boy knows his ability.B. Every boy knows his position.C. Every boy knows his authority.D. Every boy knows his advantage.34. We can find out from Paragraph 6 that girls like to play______.A. in a large groupB. in a small groupC. with strangersD. with boys35. Tommy becomes popular through______.A. his friends' helpB. his parents' helpC. his own abilityD. his sister's help

With the global population predicted to hit close to 10 billion by 2050, and forecasts that agricultural production in some regions will need to nearly double to keep pace, food security is increasingly making headlines. In the UK, it has become a big talking point recently too, for a rather particular reason: Brexit.Brexit is seen by some as an opportunity to reverse a recent trend towards the UK importing food. The country produces only about 60 per cent of the food it eats, down from almost three-quarters in the late 1980s. A move back to self-sufficiency, the argument goes, would boost the farming industry, political sovereignty and even the nation’s health. Sounds great — but how feasible is this vision?According to a report on UK food production from the University of Leeds, UK, 85 per cent of the country’s total land area is associated with meat and dairy production. That supplies 80 per cent of what is consumed, so even covering the whole country in livestock farms wouldn’t allow us to cover all our meat and dairy needs.There are many caveats to those figures, but they are still grave. To become much more self-sufficient, the UK would need to drastically reduce its consumption of animal foods, and probably also farm more intensively — meaning fewer green fields and more factory-style production.But switching to a mainly plant-based diet wouldn’t help. There is a good reason why the UK is dominated by animal husbandry: most of its terrain doesn’t have the right soil or climate to grow crops on a commercial basis. Just 25 per cent of the country’s land is suitable for crop-growing, most of which is already occupied by arable fields. Even if we converted all the suitable land to fields of fruit and veg — which would involve taking out all the nature reserves and removing thousands of people from their homes — we would achieve only a 30 per cent boost in crop production.Just 23 per cent of the fruit and vegetables consumed in the UK are currently home-grown, so even with the most extreme measures we could meet only 30 per cent of our fresh produce needs. That is before we look for the space to grow the grains, sugars, seeds and oils that provide us with the vast bulk of our current calorie intake.26. Some people argue that food self-sufficiency in the UK would[A] be hindered by its population growth.[B] contribute to the nation’s well-being.[C] become a priority of the government.[D] pose a challenge to its farming industry.27. The report by the University of Leeds shows that in the UK[A] farmland has been inefficiently utilized.[B] factory-style production needs reforming.[C] most land is used for meat and dairy production.[D] more green fields will be converted for farming.28. Crop-growing in the UK is restricted due to[A] its farming technology.[B] its dietary tradition.[C] its natural conditions.[D] its commercial interests.29. It can be learned from the last paragraph that British people[A] rely largely on imports for fresh produce.[B] enjoy a steady rise in fruit consumption.[C] are seeking effective ways to cut calorie intake.[D] are trying to grow new varieties of grains.30. The author’s attitude to food self-sufficiency in the UK is[A] defensive.[B] doubtful.[C] tolerant.[D] optimistic.

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.

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
