4.[阅读理解] The fourth-graders at Chicago's McCormick Elementary School don't know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it's becoming their third language. They've been heating and using Chinese words since nursery, and it's natural to give a “ni hao” when strangers enter the classroom. “It's really fun!” says Miranda Lucas, taking a break from a lesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan. “I'm teaching my mom to speak Chinese.”The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common phenomenon in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from business leaders, politicians, and parents —— has produced a quick growth in the number of programs. Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in their public schools. Their program has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. Supporters see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantage in a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world's next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese. “Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers, The question is when, not whether, the schools are going to adjust.”The number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French. But one report shows that before-college enrollment (报名人数) nearly quadrupled between 1992 and 2002, from 6,000 to 24,000. Despite the demand, though, developing programs isn't easy. And the No. one difficulty, everyone agrees, is having enough teachers. Finding teacher “is the challenge,” says Scott McGinnis, an academic adviser for a language institute and a Chinese teacher for 15 years at the college level. “Materials or getting schools funded are easier by comparison.”
(1).[单选题] The best title for this passage might be_____.
A.<span> Next Hot Language to Study: Chinese </span>
B.<span> Next Hot Language to Study: Spanish</span>
C.<span> Next Hot Language to Study: French</span>

5.[阅读理解] Different countries and different races have different manners. Before entering a house in some Asian countries, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries even though shoes sometimes become very muddy, this is not done. A guest in a Chinese house sometimes does not finish a drink. He leaves a little, to show that he has had enough. In a Malay house, too, a guest always leaves a little food. In England, a guest always finishes a drink to show that he enjoys it.We should like to find out the customs of other races, so that they will not think us ill-mannered(举止粗鲁). But people all over the world agree that being well-mannered really means being kind and helping others, especially those older or weaker than ourselves. If you remember this, you will not go very far wrong.Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered person does or does not do.He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. He is always kind either to people or animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office he lines up to wait his turn. In the bus, he gives his seat to an older person or a lady who is standing. If he accidently bumps into(碰,撞)someone, or gets in their way, he says “Excuse me”or “I’m sorry”. He says “Please” when making a request, and “Thank you”when he receives something. He stands up when speaking to a lady or an older person, and he does not sit down until the other person is seated. He does not talk too much about himself. When eating, he does not speak with his mouth full of food.

6.[阅读理解] There is a vital need for national parks. We must have them as places where plants and animals can be preserved in the natural state for all time. And we need parks as a retreat (休养所) from the crowded bustling life of cities. Our record for conservation (自然资源保护) is poor. Half of the animal species existing at the time of Captain Cook's arrival are now extinct(灭绝).Australia has wildlife (野生生物) that is not found in the native state in any other part of the world. This wildlife is therefore of particular scientific value. In New South Wales, the National Parks and Wildlife Service is responsible for the care of out native plants and animals in their natural environment. One of the aims of this service is to educate people in the need for conservation. The service also provides facilities for recreation (娱乐) in parks and wilderness areas throughout the state.A UNESCO (联合国教科文组织)study stated that a country should strive to retain 5 percent of its land as national parks. Australia at present is below this figure but there is a community awareness of the need to increase it and new areas are being proclaimed almost annually. In the years to come, our national parks will be one of our most valuable assets. As our population grows and our cities become more crowded,parks will become vital as retreats from the pressures of modern urbanized living.
(1).[单选题] Judging from the passage,when Captain Cook first arrived in Australia,________.
A.<span> Australia began its historical record </span>
B.<span> conservation in Australia as already poor </span>

答:————
(3).[单选题] According to the passage,all the following statements are true except ________
A.<span> All of Australia's wildlife can be found in other parts of the world.</span>
B.<span> It is the job of the National Parks and Wildlife Service to look after the native plants and animals.</span>
C.<span> Now Australia has less than 5 percent of its land as national parks.</span>

7.[阅读理解] Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is “Don't!”. But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, although the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, publicity(宣传), taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed, the hours are long and the salary is tiny.Of course, some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his car. He stopped and got out to speak to the girl. He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. The test was successful. And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon.
(1).[单选题] From the very beginning, the author puts it clearly that acting is a profession______.
A.<span> sought after by too many people</span>
B.<span> too difficult for young people </span>
C.<span> for ambitious people only </span>
D.<span> for young people only</span>
答:————
(2).[单选题] Which of the following is NOT mentioned as part of an assistant stage manager's job?
A.<span> Playing minor roles. </span>
B.<span> Taking care of the dress to be worn on the stage by an actor or actress. </span>
C.<span> Helping advertise plays. </span>
D.<span> Collecting tickets.</span>
答:————
(3).[单选题] The film producer found Connie Pratt one morning when she was ______.
A.<span> working in a bicycle factory </span>
B.<span> driving past him in her car </span>
C.<span> going to a film studio </span>
D.<span> waiting for a bus</span>
答:————
(4).[单选题] A few weeks after the test, Connie Pratt found herself______ .
A.<span> the most famous actress of the world </span>
B.<span> playing the leading female role in a play </span>
C.<span> as famous as the greatest actor of the world </span>
D.<span> no less famous than the leading actor of the day</span>
答:————
(5).[单选题] The concluding sentence“chances like this happen once in a blue moon”means _______.
A.<span> this is something which happens once in a while </span>
B.<span> this is a highly profitable chance </span>
C.<span> this is something highly possible </span>
D.<span> this is a very rare chance</span>
答:————
8.[阅读理解] Conventional wisdom about conflict seems pretty much cut and dried. Too little conflict breeds apathy(冷漠)and stagnation(呆滞). Too much conflict leads to divisiveness(分裂) and hostility. Moderate levels of conflict, however, can spark creativity and motivate people in a healthy and competitive way.<p>Recent research by Professor Charles R. Schwenk, however, suggests that the optimal level of conflict may be more complex to determine than these simple generalizations. He studied perceptions of conflict among a sample of executives. Some of the executives worked for profit-seeking organizations and others for not-for-profit organizations.</p>Somewhat surprisingly, Schwenk found that opinions about conflict varied systematically as a function of the type of organization. Specifically, managers in not-for-profit organizations strongly believed that conflict was beneficial to their organizations and that it promoted higher quality decision making than might be achieved in the absence of conflict.<p>Managers of for-profit organizations saw a different picture. They believed that conflict generally was damaging and usually led to poor-quality decision making in their organizations. Schwenk interpreted these results in terms of the criteria for effective decision making suggested by the executives. In the profit-seeking organizations, decision-making effectiveness was most often assessed in financial terms. The executives believed that consensus rather than conflict enhanced financial indicators.</p><p>In the not-for-profit organizations, decision-making effectiveness was defined from the perspective of satisfying constituents. Given the complexities and ambiguities associated with satisfying many diverse constituents executives perceived that conflict led to more considered and acceptable decisions.</p>
(1).[单选题] In the eyes of the author, conventional opinion on conflict is ___________.
A.<span> wrong</span>
B.<span> oversimplified</span>
C.<span> misleading</span>

C.<span> the difficulty in determining the optimal level of conflict</span>
D.<span> the complexity of defining the roles of conflict</span>
答:————
(3).[单选题] We can learn from Schwenk’s research that ___________.

B.<span> conflict is necessary for managers of for-profit organizations</span>
C.<span> different people resolve conflicts in different ways</span>
D.<span> it is impossible for people to avoid conflict</span>
答:————
(4).[单选题] The passage suggests that in for-profit organizations ____________.
A.<span> there is no end of conflict</span>
B.<span> expression of different opinions is encouraged</span>

答:————
9.[阅读理解] To understand the marketing concept, it is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods, and then relied on “persuasive salesmanship” to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then convert them into money.Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase.This concept does not imply that business is benevolent(慈善的)or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction – the firm and the customer – and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to customers. A striking example of the importance of catering to the consumer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brought about a prompt restoration of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside the new King Customer ruled!
(1).[单选题] The marketing concept discussed in the passage is, in essence, ____________.
A.<span> the practice of turning goods into money </span>
B.<span> making goods available for purchase</span>
C.<span> the customer-centred approach </span>
D.<span> a form of persuasive salesmanshi</span>
答:————
(2).[单选题] What was the main concern of industrialists before the marketing concept was widely accepted?
A.<span> The needs of the market</span>
B.<span> The efficiency of production</span>
C.<span> The satisfaction of the user. </span>
D.<span> The preferences of the dealer.</span>
答:————
(3).[单选题] <p><span>According to the passage, “to move as much of these goods as possible” (Lines 3-4, Para. </span></p><p><span>I) means “_______________”.</span></p>
A.<span> to sell the largest possible amount of goods</span>
B.<span> to transport goods as efficiently as possible</span>
C.<span> to dispose of these goods in large quantities</span>
D.<span> to redesign these goods for large-scale production</span>
答:————
(4).[单选题] What does the restoration of the Classic Coke best illustrate?
A.<span> Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of people.</span>
B.<span> It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public.</span>
C.<span> Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.</span>
D.<span> Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.</span>
答:————
(5).[单选题] In discussing the marketing concept, the author focuses on ___________.
A.<span> its main characteristic</span>
B.<span> its social impact</span>
C.<span> its possible consequence</span>
D.<span> its theoretical basis</span>
答:————
10.[阅读理解] It is a matter of common observation that although incomes keep going up over the years, people never seem to become much better off! Prices are rising continuously. This condition is termed one of inflation(通货膨胀); the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. People have grown accustomed in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. Present indications are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When money is losing value it lacks one of the qualities of a good money - stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable standard of deferred(延迟) payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset(资产), so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates consumer spending, and prevents people from saving.
(1).[单选题] Inflation is a situation in which __________.
A.<span> we find our money increase in its value</span>
B.<span> employment no longer becomes a problem</span>
C.<span> people can always find better paying jobs</span>

答:————
(2).[单选题] According to the author, inflation __________.
A.<span> is very common at the present time</span>
B.<span> seldom happens</span>
C.<span> has become rare in recent years</span>
D.<span> is just reasonable</span>
答:————
(3).[单选题] According to the passage, if incomes and prices rise together __________.
A.<span> money will hold its value</span>
B.<span> inflation poses no problem</span>
C.<span> inflation will remain to be a problem</span>
D.<span> the business will prosper</span>
答:————
(4).[单选题] When money loses its value __________.
A.<span> it is no longer stable</span>
B.<span> its rate against gold will be kept at the same level</span>
C.<span> goods will lose their value</span>
D.<span> incomes will keep rising</span>
答:————
(5).[单选题] In a period of inflation, people are likely to __________.
A.<span> invest heavily on the stock market</span>

11.[阅读理解] In the 1920s demand for American farm products fell, as European countries began to recover from World War I and instituted austerity(紧缩)programs to reduce their imports. The result was a sharp drop in farm prices. This period was more disastrous for farmers than earlier times had been, because farmers were no longer self-sufficient. They were paying for machinery, seed, and fertilizer, and they were also buying consumer goods. The prices of the items farmers bought remained constant, while prices they received for their products fell. These developments were made worse by the Great Depression, which began in 1929 and extended throughout the 1930s.In 1929, under President Herbert Hoover, the Federal Farm Board was organized. It established the principle of direct interference with supply and demand, and it represented the first national commitment to provide greater economic stability for farmers.President Hoover’s successor attached even more importance to this problem. One of the first measures proposed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt when he took office in 1933 was the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which was subsequently passed by Congress. This law was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court on the grounds that general taxes were being collected to pay one special group of people. However, new laws were passed immediately that achieved the same result of resting soil and providing flood-control measures, but which were based on the principle of soil conservation. The Roosevelt Administration believed that rebuilding the nation’s soil was in the national interest and was not simply a plan to help farmers at the expense of other citizens. Later the government guaranteed loans to farmers so that they could buy farm machinery, hybrid(杂交)grain, and fertilizers.
