Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey.How do they make it？Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. A certain kind of ants，for example，can count their steps to avoid getting lost.They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home.These ants live in the open desert（沙漠），so they have nothing to guide them along the way.It's like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell.They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area.Some sea birds have a similar ability.They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the earth's magnetic field （磁场），while humans can't.This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back.How can this kind of fish do that？It is still a mystery.Scientists have no good answers yet. However，animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities.For example，many birds depend on stars for direction，but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night.To solve this problem，we can simply turn off some lights at night.Clearly，one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.（1）Where is this passage most probably from？ ____ A．A storybook.B．An art magazine.C．A guidebook.D．A science magazine.（2）How can a certain kind of ants find their way？ ____ A．By imagining the way.B．By counting their steps.C．By bringing food together.D．By walking through a forest.（3）What does the underlined word "mystery" in paragraph 4 probably mean？ ____ A．Secret.B．Choice.C．Reason.D．Feeling.（4）What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph？ ____ A．To help animals.B．To travel at night.C．To keep city lights on.D．To develop unusual abilities.（5）Which can be the best title for the passage？ ____ A．Birds' Sense of LightB．Fish's Sense of SmellC．Animals' Sense of DirectionD．Animals' Sense of Magnetic Field

Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products—or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has ''Economy Size'' or ''Family Size'' printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most products for the least money. But that is not always true. A buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that. 1. The underlined words ''a buyer will get something for nothing'' (Paragraph 2) most probably mean that . A. a buyer will not get what he wants B. a buyer will gain more than he loses C. a buyer will get what he pays for D. a buyer will get something useful free of charge 2. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. On seeing a well-designed container, a buyer often neglects (忽略) what is inside it. B. A buyer is also attracted by the size of the container. C. Children are often made to buy a product by its package with attractive pictures. D. Packaging is often a successful advertisement. 3. What suggestion does the author give in the passage? A. The best choice for a buyer is to get a product in a plain package. B. A buyer should get what he needs most. C. Do not buy the product which is sold in a glass or dish. D. A buyer should know that the quality of a container has little to do with the quality of the product.
Conversation TwoA. To inquire about switching majors. B. To find a helping supervisor. C. To make up the remaining credits. D. To apply for a master’s degree.

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.
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
