Passage 11Since its founding in 1948, McDonald’s has grown from afamily burger（汉堡包）stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000locations in 118 countries. With 58 million daily customers worldwide,McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes aglobal ranking of currencies’ purchasing power based on the prices charged atthe local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index（巨无霸指数）.That’s not to say thatevery nation carries the same menu items:choices vary widely depending onlocation. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, whileMcDonald’s in India doesn’t serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers madefrom vegetables, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy togreet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald’s as a symbol ofAmerican economic and cultural chauvinism（沙文主义）, and European nations inparticular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their nationalfood. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald’s under construction toprotest globalization and “bad food.” The next year, a bomb exploded in aFrench McDonald’s, killing a 27-year-old employee. No one claimedresponsibility.But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies,McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peacefulglobalization.1.According to the passage, which of the following statements isNOT TRUE?A.McDonald’s was founded in 1948.B.McDonald’s has opened itsrestaurants in every city of the world.C.McDonald’s has over 30,000 locationsin the world now.2.The word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 is most likely tomean.A.very crowded B.very cleanC.existing everywhere3.From Paragraph 2, we canconclude that.A.McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local peopleB.millionsof young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC.the McDonald’s menu sticksto old-fashioned favorites such as the Big Mac4.What did Jose Bove and his peopledo in 1999 to protest against McDonald’s?A.They destroyed a McDonald’s underconstruction.B.They protested outside a McDonald’s.C.They refused to go to anewly-built McDonald’s.5.In an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on aMcDonald’s restaurant in France.A.1998B.1999C.2000答案:B# C# A# A# C27. Passage 8Great changes have been made in family life because ofscience and industry.In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, thetypical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their childrenoften lived with grandparents. Often too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. Butwhen industry became more important than agriculture in American life, familiesbecame smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to moveoff the land and to move again wherever necessary. And large families cannot bemoved from place to place as small families can. So, at present people tend tohave smaller families. In the future, because of industrialization, a typicalfamily will be required to move even more often than now, so families will beeven smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consists of only aman and a woman. A small number of families may take child raising as theirchief work. At the same time they may also raise other people’s children,leaving those families to move from job to job. 1.Which of the following topicsis discussed in the passage?A.Development of science and industry inAmerica.B.Influence of science and industry on American families.C.The harmfuleffect of industrialization.2.What kinds of families are described in thepassage? A.Families of the past, the present and the future. B.Families of thepresent and of the future.C.Families of the past and of the future.3.Accordingto the writer, what is one of the reasons why families are getting smaller inAmerica?A.Children tend to leave their parents and grandparents when they growup.B.People no longer want to have children.C.The need for workers who are ableto move at any time has been increasing. 4.Who will take the chiefresponsibility of raising children in the future?A.Parents themselves.B.A smallnumber of families. C.Social workers.5.What can you infer form the passage?A.Science and industry have caused thousands of families to split.B.Children donot like to live with their parents or grandparents.C.Large families can hardlysurvive in a highly industrialized society.答案:B# A# A# B# C28. Passage 5Is teaching important? Well, of course it is. There was atime when the necessary knowledge could be taught to the young by familymembers. But as societies became more complex and division of labor morediverse, it was impossible for family members to teach the information andskills that young people needed to become useful members of the society. Whenthe society needed specialists, teaching came into being as a career. And ithas been of increasing importance during the past hundred years. Today, we havestrict rules for teachers. We hope all children can go to schools. It isgenerally agreed that teaching is indeed an “important” job.In recent years,there has been an increasing need for teachers to be “responsible”. This meansthat the public expects teachers to succeed in teaching important informationto the young. Teachers’ salaries today, while not that much, are much higherthan they were in years past. Pay increases have come about because people haverealized that without decent salaries, less talented people will get involvedwith teaching profession. Hence higher salaries and higher qualifications forthe prospective teachers. Today almost no one has that “anybody can do ateacher’s job” in their mind. The public expects “quality people” to teach theyoung, and progress is being made to offer better benefits and higher salariesto appeal to more talented people to become school teachers.1.Just becausesocieties became more complex, teaching came into being as a career.A.TB.F2.Allchildren in the world can go to schools.A.TB.F3.We need more responsibleteachers who succeed in teaching important information to theyoung.A.TB.F4.Teachers’ salaries today are higher than before.A.TB.F5.Everyonecan be a quality teacher.A.TB.F答案:A# B# A# A# B29. - If trash is sorted, it can be transferred to factories instead ofthe disposal plant.- That makes sense. _____________________A.

Passage 7Respondent:Beifang People’s HospitalAddress:No 7,Beifang Road, Beifang City The following answer is given to ZhangHua’s claimfor personal-injury compensation by the Beifang People’s Hospital:1. Therespondent does not have a direct contractual relationship with Zhang Hua.Zhang Hua had an oral contract to remove the high-voltage meter cabinet withBeifang No. 2 Construction Installation Company on June 10, 1998. He wasassigned by Beifang No. 2 Construction and Installation Company and thereforehas no direct contractual relationship with the respondent. 2. Beifang No. 2Construction and Installation Company should be responsible for compensatingZhang Hua for the following reasons. Firstly, according to PRC laws andrelevant judicial interpretations, Beifang No. 2 Construction and InstallationCompany shall be responsible for any injury employees suffered in the contractperformance. Secondly, Zhang Hua seriously violated the operational procedurein removing the high-voltage meter cabinet and failed to pay due attentionthereto.3. The respondent shall not beresponsible for compensating the injuries of Zhang Hua. According to theGeneral Principles of the Civil Law, any person engaged in highly dangerousoperations shall be responsible for compensation. In this case, the respondententered into a contract with Beifang No. 2 Construction and InstallationCompany, whereby the source of high danger shifted to Beifang No. 2Construction and Installation Company. Beifang No. 2 Construction and InstallationCompany became the subject of the dangerous operation, and therefore anydamages caused in the contract performance by Beifang No. 2 Construction andInstallation Company have no connection with the respondent.Therefore, the Beifang People’s Hospital isnot liable for compensating Zhang Hua. We hereby request the court to rejectthe plaintiff’s action according to law.

Passage 4Education and academic quality can mean different things todifferent people, depending on their perspective, role and context and, in partbecause of this, quality is notoriously difficult to evaluate. The question ofhow to do this has been pursued for many years.Nevertheless, the goal ofimproving educational quality is agreed by all and stimulated further by therecent worldwide economic downturn and the need to counteract the impact of thecrisis on economic growth and prepare for economic recovery.As the World Bankand UNESCO said 10 years ago:“The quality of knowledge generated within highereducation institutions, and its availability to the wider economy, is becomingincreasingly critical to national competitiveness.” They also rightlyemphasized that “A strong research system at the national level opens up thepossibility that substantial additional public benefits can be realized throughinternational links.”This is precisely why Chinese students and academicsshould contribute to these global benefits, reforming and improving evaluationsystems for educational and academic quality. Original and good research,especially in science, economics and social sciences, has a trickledown effecton society. And it offers additional benefits even without international links,though international collaboration and exchange of the best evaluation policyand practice can bring substantial advantages to all partners in relation tolessons learned elsewhere.1.Education quality is hard to evaluate.A.TB.F2.Economic development doesn’t have effect on the improvement of educationalquality.

Passage 6Jim Thorpe was a native American. He was born in 1888 in anIndian Territory(印第安人保护区)that is now Oklahoma. Like most native Americanchildren then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. He washealthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, JimThorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympicgold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twinbrother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his motherand father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvaniafor native American children. There, he learned to read and write and alsobegan to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earnsome money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. The team paid himonly $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim wasa star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, andfootball. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. Inmany games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when JimThorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S Olympic team. He competed intwo very difficult events:the pentathlon(五项全能) and the decathlon. Both requiregreat ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events,including the long jump and the 1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten trackand field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests.People thought itwas impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and thedecathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in bothevents. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, hesaid, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple andhonest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”1、From the passage we learn thatJim Thorpe was born inA.IndiaB.PennsylvaniaC.Oklahoma2、According to thepassage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPTA.fishingB.singingC.swimming3、Jim Thorpe started to play sports A.before he wasnine years oldB.when he was 16 years oldC.when he was 24 years old4、The word“decathlon” in paragraph 3 probably meansA.jumpingB.five track and fieldeventsC.ten track and field events5、Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.In1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B.Thorpe won two goldmedals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C.Thorpe once played on a baseball team formoney.答案:C# B# B# C# A69. Passage 2The National Union of Students (NUS) welcomes the news thatgreater numbers of black and disabled students are studying at UK universities,but there is still a lot of work to be done on widening access, writes theunion's president, Gemma Tumelty.A recent Department of Communities and LocalGovernment (DCLG) equalities review showed that significant numbers ofpotential students felt their disability was a major barrier to accessinghigher education (HE). This is simply unacceptable.Equality and diversity isnot entirely a “numbers game” and before too much praise is given we need tohear more from non-traditional students, not just about their experience ofaccessing higher education but also going through the system.Equality insociety is absolutely, and fundamentally, linked to equality in access toeducation.For many students, university is the place where they will be firstexposed to different cultures and different people. As well as fighting forbetter access, the NUS wants to see diversity properly valued and promotedwithin the student experience. Many pay lip service to the value of diversity,but is this recognized and promoted as a core asset to those who go through theHE system?Equality in society can be promoted by equality and diversity atuniversity. But the benefits of university as a positive, diverse environmentmust be seen by students as adding “value” as much as any other factor beforethe numbers game is really won by the champions of diversity.1、We need to hearmore from non-traditional students about their experience of accessing highereducation.A、TB、F2、Greater numbers of black and disabled students are studyingat Chinese universities.A、TB、F3、Equality in society is linked to equality inaccess to education.A、TB、F4、For many students, university is the last placewhere they will get to know different cultures and different people.A、TB、F5、Studentscan see the benefits of university as a positive, diverse environment.A、TB、F答案:A# B# A# B# A70. — What's the best way to get to the Empire Hotel from here?—_________________.A.

The sender's personality,beliefs, cultural and educational background all influence the message and itis important for the sender to be aware of this as he or she is encoding themessage. Simply put, encoding is translating information into symbols thatrepresent the ideas or concepts of the message that needs sending. Thesesymbols are usually words in written or spoken form. To ensure successfulcommunication, the sender should know as much about his or her audience – thereceiver – as possible in order to focus and support the encoding process. Inaddition to this awareness of self and encoding, the sender must choose theproper channel for conveying the message. Using the wrong channel may result inmiscommunication. Like the sender, receivers are influenced by internal factors:theirpersonality, their receptivity to the message or their relationship to thesender. Additionally, their current feelings, mood, or state of mind can affecta message. Once the message moves through the channel, the receiver thendecodes it. The receiver uses his or her own experience and the context of themessage to interpret its meaning. Feedback is the return message from thereceiver to the sender. It is feedback that enables the sender to know whetherthe message was received successfully or not. Therefore it is essential to thecommunication process. This process, though very common, is fraught withpotential breakdown at every turn. Spoken or written language is inherentlyeasy to misinterpret. In conclusion, effective and successful Communicationtakes place when the message is successfully received and the receiver providesthe sender with desirable feedback. 1. The sender's gender also influences themessage. 2. Encoding is a process that translating information into symbolswhich serve as the ideas or concepts of the message that will be sent later. 3.These symbols are usually words and sentences in written form. 4. Channel isnot crucial for conveying the message. 5. Feedbacks enable the sender to knowwhether the receiver has received the message successfully or not.答案:F# T# F# F# T76. _______ her and then try to copy what she does.A. MindB. SeeC.

Also, a concept thatexists in one culture or language might not be part of another. Effectiveintercultural communication tries to bridge language gaps as effectively aspossible so that everyone at the workplace finds themselves on the samepage.Para 4 Given the inexactitude of language, misunderstandings canfrequently arise between people from different cultures when they exchangeinformation. Idioms often become lost in translation. For example, the Englishexpression “to shoulder responsibility” translates into Swedish as “be a manfor your hat”. Intercultural communication does not rely on expressions nativeto a particular language that could lead to confusion; rather, it relies onclear messages that all parties understand.Para 5 Communication happensdifferently in various cultures. What one society finds acceptable may beanathema to another. When coworkers from different cultures do not take thesedifferences into account, not only does communication suffer but conflicts cometo the fore. Effective intercultural communication does not try to ignoresocietal differences; rather, it respects the variations among the human raceand enables people to transmit information clearly.答案:C# E# A# B# D85. – Thank you for your invitation. – ________________________A.

Butover the past decade, graffiti has all but disappeared from Britain's cities.Between 2007 and 2012 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded by theBritish Transport Police fell by 63%. A survey by the Environment Ministryshows that fewer places are blighted by tags than ever. Graffiti areincreasingly confined to sanctioned walls, such as the Stockwell ball courts.In time the practice may die out entirely. The most obvious reason for thedecline in tagging and train-painting is better policing. Numerous CCTV camerasmean it is harder to get away with painting illegally. And punishments are moresevere. A generational shift is apparent, too. Fewer teenagers are getting intopainting walls. They prefer to play with iPads and video games. Some have goneto art school and want to make money from their paintings. The Internet meansthat painters can win far more attention by posting pictures online than theycan by breaking into a railway yard. Taggers and graffiti artists mostly grewup in the 1980s and 1990s. Those men—and almost all are men—are now older andless willing to take risks. Graffiti may eventually disappear. But for now thehobby is almost respectable. The former graffiti artists paint abandonedwarehouses at the weekend. It has become something to do on a Sundayafternoon—a slightly healthier alternative to sitting and watching football. 1.Teenagersare not afraid of being caught by security guards when they put their names ontrains and buses. 2.Less tags can be found in public places nowadays. 3.Becauseof better policing graffiti decreases. 4.Some teenagers go to art school inorder to learn to paint walls. 5.Taggers and graffiti artists are stillwilling to take risks.答案:F# T# T# F# F91. – Your ID card, please. – ________________________________A.

Itmeans quietness, privacy, harmony and peace for me. Living in the countryrequires an active lifestyle. It involves activities like doing daily chores,preparing firewood for winter heating, feeding animals including pets andlivestock, tending the garden, or securing fences, etc. For me, the mostattractive activities are fishing, hunting and hiking. I enjoy seeing whatnature has to offer everyday through a simple walk down the little trail, or arelaxing drive along the country road with patches of green grass ornamentedwith wildlife sightings of birds, moose, bears, deer, etc. Living the countrylife helps us appreciate some of the simpler things, things that make us feelgood about ourselves and the world.

I have participated in a few community projects,like dealing with out-of-control grass fires, a roof that collapsed from alarge snow fall, or even helping a recent widow with fire wood for the winter.Sometimes I am surprised by how much benefit we receive from helping others andas for this community I can’t say enough.

All onehas to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating,“skinny” members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. Itis easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that? Manypeople are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joiningworkout classes of while exercising, especially if they are larger than most ofthe others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention.Popular gyms are catering (迎合) to overweight and weight conscious customers bydedicating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed. There are evengyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight toparticipate. Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, ratherthan six-pack abs(六块腹肌). They often use text messages to stay in touch withcustomers. Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweightthemselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help thosepeople with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designedfor use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted(有色的) windows for privacy, are all important changes. Hopefully these types ofgyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simpleand potentially popular one.

The question ofhow to do this has been pursued for many years. Nevertheless, the goal ofimproving educational quality is agreed by all and stimulated further by therecent worldwide economic downturn and the need to counteract the impact of andprepare for economic recovery. As the World Bank and UNESCO said 10 years ago:“Thequality of knowledge generated within higher education institutions, and itsavailability to the wider economy, is becoming increasingly critical tonational competitiveness.” They also rightly emphasized that “ at the nationallevel opens up the possibility that substantial additional public benefits canbe realized through international links.” This is precisely why shouldcontribute to these global benefits, reforming and improving evaluation systemsfor educational and academic quality.
