Here are some general rules:Napkin(餐巾)useThe meal begins when the host unfolds his or her napkin. This is your signal to do the same, so place your napkin on your lap. Unfold it completely if it is a small napkin, or in half, lengthwise(纵向地),if it is a large dinner napkin.If you need to leave the table during the meal, place your napkin on your chair as a signal to your server that you will be returning. Once the meal is over, place your napkin neatly on the table to the right of your dinner plate. Do not refold it.Use a napkin only for your mouth. Never use it for your nose, face or forehead.Use of utensils(餐具)Start with the knife, fork or spoon furthest from your plate, and work your way in, using one utensil for each course.If soup is served, remember to spoon away from yourself. This helps stop the drips. Do not put the entire soup spoon in your mouth. Instead, fill a soup spoon about 75 percent with soup, and sip(啜饮)it from the side noiselessly.After finishing dinner, place the knife and fork parallel to one another across the plate with the knife facing inward toward the plate.Using your fingersHere's a list of finger foods: sandwiches, cookies, small fruits or berries with stems, French fries and potato chips, and hamburgers.Chew(咀嚼)with your mouth closed and don't make noise; don't talk with your mouth full.Bread must be broken with your hands.

If you are saving to buy a CD(光盘)or to go to a concert, then probably you would keep your money somewhere in your room.If you ale saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip, where would you save your money?One place to save money is the bank. Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank(猪形储蓄罐), one year later you'11 still have the same amount of money you put in. If you put your money in a savings account, one year later, you'll have more money than you put in. Why?When you keep your money in a bank, your money earns interest. Interest is an amount of money a bank pays you to use your money. The bank uses your money (and the money of other people too) to loan money to people and businesses.The bank will send you a statement several times a year. A bank statement tells you how much money you have in your account It also tells you how much interest you have earned If you leave your money in the bank, you can watch it grow! Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD. If you have somemoney that you don't need to use for a long time, this is a good way to make your money grow. You Can buy a CD at a bank You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time That period might be from six months to five years. You can't touch your money during that time. If you do, you must pay a penalty or fee.6. Your money will earn more money if you put it _______.A. in your roomB. in a piggy bankC. in your pocketD. in a savings account7. A bank pays you interest for _______.A wasting your moneyB losing your moneyC using your moneyD decreasing your money8. Among other things, a bank statement tells you _______.A. the amount of money you have in the bankB. the current rates of interestC. the current rates of exchangeD. the best way to save your money9. If you draw your money before it is due, you will have to _______.A. pay interest to the bankB. close your accountC. open a new accountD. pay a penalty or fee10. The word “touch" in paragraph 5 could be best replaced by _______.A. “deposit”B. “lend”C. “use”D. “cash”Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that treesdo communicate (交际) with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal (信号) causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in wor ds. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message?11. It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______.A. are lying on the groundB. have an unpleasant tasteC. bees don’t likeD. have an unfamiliar shape12. The willow tree described in the passage protected itself by ______.A. growing more branchesB. communicating with birds and beesC. changing its leaf chemistryD. shaking caterpillars off13. According to the passage, the willow tree was able to communicate with other trees by______.A. waving its branchesB. giving off a special smellC. dropping its leavesD. changing the color of its trunk14. According to this passage, bees communicate by ______.A. making special movementB. touching one anotherC. smelling one anotherD. making unusual sound15. The author believes that the incident described in the passage ______.A. cannot be taken seriouslyB. should no longer be permittedC. must be checked more thoroughlyD. seems completely reasonableSchooling and EducationIt is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no limits. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or in the job, whether in a kitchen or in a theatre. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a respected grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy(婴儿期)on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong(一生的)process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral(基本的)part of one's entire life.Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned(指定的)seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are words or an understanding of the working of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subjectbeing taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.16. Which of the following is true according to the author?A. School is the place where people get informal educationB. Education means schoolingC. Education can be both formal and informalD. Going to school is the only way to receive education17. Education is different from schooling in that ______.A. the former is predictable while the latter is notB. the former is specific while the latter is notC. the former is a formalized process while the latter is notD. the former is more open-ended and all-inclusive than the latter18. When does education begin?A. Before one enters schoolB. After one enters schoolC. After one graduates from collegeD. After one retires from work19. The fact that children arrive at school at about the same time shows that ______.A. schooling imposes a lot of strain on the studentsB. schooling has a clear boundaryC. schooling follows more or less the same pattern.D. schooling includes different aspects of learning20. What is the author's attitude toward schooling?A. PositiveB. NegativeC. Neutral(中立的)D. Supportive四.Translation—English to Chinese英译汉(5*3’)1.If producers can substitute a cheaper foreign source of labor relative to thedomestic wage rate, many will choose to move their production overseas, creating increased unemployment.如果生产者可以用廉价的外国劳动力来替代国内资源,很多生产者将会选择把他们的生产转移至海外,从而造成失业率的上升。

Read the followingpassages and choose the correct answer to eachquestion.(60 points in total and 2.0 for each.)PASSAGE 1Scientists are racing to build the world’s first thinking robot.This is not science fiction:some say they will have made it by the year 2020 Carol Packer reports machines that walk,speak and feel are no longer science fiction.Kismet is the name of an android(机器人)which scientists have built at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(M IT).Kismet is different from the traditional robot because it Can show human emotions.Its eyes,ears and lips move to show when it feels happy. sad or bored.Kismet is one of the first of a new generation of androids——robots that look like human beings——which Can imitate human feelings.Cog,another android invented by the M IT, imitates the action of a mother.However, scientists admit that So far Cog has the mental ability of a two—year—old.The optimists(乐观主义者)say that by the year 2020 we will have created humanoids(机器人)with brains similar to those of all adult human being.These robots will be designed to look like people to make them more attractive and easier to sell to the public.What kind of jobs will they do? In the future,robots like Robonaut,a humanoid invented by NASA,will be doing dangerous jobs,like repairing space stations.They will also be doing more and more of the household work for us. In Japan,scientists are designing androids that will entertain us by dancing and playing the piano.Some people worry about what the future holds:will robots become monsters(怪物)?Will people themselves become increasingly like robots? Experts predict that more and more peoplewill be wearing micro—computers,connected to the Internet,in the future.People will have micro—chips in various parts of their body,which will connect them to a wide variety of gadgets (小装置).Perhaps we should not exaggerate(夸大)the importance of technology,but one wonders whether,in years to come,we will still be falling in love,and whether we will still feel pain.Who knows?21 Kismet is different from traditional robots becauseA it thinks for itselfB It is not like science fictionC it can look after two—year-old.D it seems to have human feelings.22 What makes Cog special?A It looks like a mother.B It behaves like a child.C It can imitate the behavior of a mother.D It has a huge brain.23 In about 15 years’ time from now,robotsA will become space designers.B will look like monsters.C will behave like animals.D will think like humans.24 In the future robots will alsoA explore space.B entertain people.C move much faster.D do a11 of the housework.25 What is the writer’s attitude to robots in the future?A Critical.B Hostile.C Objective.D EnthusiasticPASSAGE 2A credit card that will not work unless it hears its owner’s voice could become an important weapon in the fight against fraud(欺骗).The card requires users to give a spoken password that it recognizes using a built-inV oice-recognition chip.The idea is to prevent thieves using a stolen card or fraudsters using someone else’s credit card details to buy goods online.A model built by engineers at Beepcard in Santa Monica,California,attempt to pack a microphone。

Early in hisjob as Coke’s chief, Goizueta had recognized Ivester’s drive, commenting that he was the hardest-working man he had ever met. Together the two changed the company’s operations and capital structure to maximize shareholder value.2Both of Ivester’s parents were factory workers from a tiny mill town in Georgia. His parents were children of the depression, he recal ls, ‘strong savers, very strong religious values,’ and had very high expectations for their only son. If he got an A, his father would say, ‘They giveA pluses, don’t they?’3Dough Ivester is the guy who for nearly two years worked constantly to provide essential support to Roberto Goizueta as he not only turned Coca-Cola around but made it into a powerhouse. If you want to know just how driven Ivester is, know that more than a decade ago he set himself the goal of becoming the CEO and chairman of Coca-Cola. Then he put on paper the dates by which he intended to do that.4By comparison with Goizueta, Ivester is an accountant by training, an introvert by nature. He worked systematically to obtain the breadth needed to be a modern chief executive –getting media coaching and spending three year’s worth of Saturdays, six hours at a time, being tutored in marketing.5He is big on discipline, which to him means: be where you’re suppo sed to be. Dress the part (he is opposed to casual Fridays). Return phone calls promptly (employees know never to get too far away from their office voice-mail, even on weekends). Still, when directing his troops, he asks them to set ‘aspirations’ (difficult targets).6Hierarchy is out –it slows everything down; he communicates freely with people at all levels. The‘conventional’desk job is also out. Ivester prefers that employees think of themselves as knowledge workers –their office is the information they carry around with them, supported by technology that allows them to work anywhere. This really matters when your business is as large as Coke’s, which gets 80% of its profit from overseas.7At Coke, business planning is no longer an annual ritual but a continual discussion –sometimes via voice-mail – among top executives. Technology is not just nice; it’s crucial.Huge volumes of information don’t frighten Ivester; he insists that they are necessary for ‘real time’decision-making. With past-generation exe cutives, their style was more ‘don’t bring me your problems, bring me your solutions,’ says Tim Haas, Senior Vice President and Head of Latin America. ‘Dough thrives on finding the solutions.’‘In a world this complicated and fast-moving, a CEO can’t afford to sit in the executive suite and guess,’Ivester says. He believes that many of America’s executives ‘are getting terribly isolated.’41. The writer says that ‘Goizueta had recognized Ivester’s drive’ (Paragraph 1). What does drivemean?A. Talent.B. Genius.C. Energy.D. Mind.42. What is Dough Ivester’s previous job?A. Foreman.B. Accountant.C. Teacher.D. CEO.43. ‘They give A pluses, don’t they?’ (Paragraph 2) Who is Ivester’s father referring to when hesays they?A. Ivester’s teachers.B. Ivester’s parents.C. Ivester’s classmates.D. Ivester’s colleagues.44. Which of the following words refers to a time of high unemployment and poverty?(Paragraph 2)A. Mill.B. Religion.C. Saver.D. Depression.45. Which of the following words means ‘very determined to succeed’? (Paragraph 3)A. Powerhouse.B. Constantly.C. Driven.D. Set.46. What does the sentence ‘Dress the part (he is opposed to casual Fridays)’? (Paragraph 5)A. Always wear uniforms at work.B. Always wear casually at work.C. Always dress properly for work.D. Always dress the way you like.47. Where does Coca-Cola’s most profits come from?A. Americas.B. Europe.C. Asia.D. Overseas.48. Ivester believes that many American executives ‘are getting terribly isolated.’ What is Ivesterdoing to avoid becoming cut off from his staff?A.

The most suitable title for this passage may be _______.A. President of Coca-ColaB. Chief Executives of Coca-ColaC. The Real Douglas IvesterD. Focus on Douglas IvesterQuestions 51 to 60 are based on the following passage.1Steve Redwood, a London-based management consultant with Price Waterhouse, tells of a client who had brought together a team from eight different countries to work on a project.‘T he national stereotypes applied,’ he says. ‘The people from Switzerland and Germany were mainly interested in the way the project organized. The people from Spain took a much more intuitive approach. The British had a high level of skepticism about whether the whole thing really mattered. Language was not the issue. It was more basic than that.’2Behind this lies the most fundamental problem of all: the fact that outside a handful of companies – Lowell Bryan, a senior partner with McKinsey in New York puts it at between a dozen and 20 worldwide – even the biggest corporations are dominated by the culture of the home country.3‘Outside that handful,’ Mr Bryan says, ‘companies are very German, or very British, or very American. One big difference with American companies is they think globalization means Americanizing the world. Others don’t have that arrogance.’4If top management all come from the home country, that makes it much more difficult to attract and keep a global pool of talent. ‘People know when they fit in and when they don’t,’Mr Bryan says. ‘That’s true even of national companies: there’s a tendency for people to have gone to the same school, or all have trained as engineers. It’s even more true when i t comes to where you grew up.’5The problem lies not in attracting people – a talented Indian or Korean manager will typically want early experience with a multinational –but in keeping them. ‘People will join the company to learn,’ Mr Bryan says, ‘but unl ess they feel they’re part of the company, they’re going to leave, and exploit the brand status of the company in their next job.’6Given the importance of local cultures within the global company, an obvious question is how to appraise and identify talent around the world on a consistent basis. Richard Greenhalgh, head of management development and training at Unilever, says that the company has been working on this for the past four years. ‘We’ve been developing a set of11 management competencies we can use worldwide,’ he says.7‘The aim is to have a clear objective measure of potential. We measure such things as entrepreneurial drive, the ability to lead and develop others, and integrity. That makes up a common core of behaviors. We’ve tested it, and so far it seems to be culturally transferable.’51. Which expression in Paragraph 1 matches the meaning ‘someone whose job is to give adviceto companies’?A. Corporate leader.B. Top manager.C. Management consultant.D. Corporate management.52. Which expression in Paragraph 2 matches the meaning ‘a basic difficulty’?A. Home country.B. fundamental problem.C. Management consultant.D. Intuitive approach.53. In Paragraph 3, ‘globalization’ means _______.A. operation in AmericaB. operation in the home countryC. operation in many placesD. operation all around the world54. According to Paragraphs 1-4, which of the following statements is true?A. Managers from different countries approach tasks in different ways.B. Lots of companies worldwide are truly international.C. American companies think that globalization means developing an international culture.D. In national companies, it’s common for people to come from different backgrounds.55. In Paragraph 5, the problem with employing people with different national backgrounds is_______.A. recruiting themB. motivating themC. developing themD. making them stay56. In Paragraph 5, if they don’t feel part of the company, they will _______.A. stayB. leaveC. cause troubleD. beat employers57.

Then the barter system was replaced by coins , which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money ,paper notes thathave value only because everyone agrees to accept them. Today electronic monetary systems aregradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms , reducing it to aseries of "bits and bytes", or units of computerized information , going between machines at thespeed of light. Already ,electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received bydifferent banks ,companies ,and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.1. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage ? A. International Banking Policies B. The History of Monetary Exchange C. The Development of Paper Currencies D.

The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly ,coveredmore area ,and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made people more active ,but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs offaces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used ;each was shown the same photos ,but each group was in an ordinary room-a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting.

In many countries, cycling is firmly established as a standard way of getting around. In Nordic countries, as well as in some British and German towns, cycle lanes are increasingly commonplace, sometimes as part of an integrated park-and-ride with rail or bus. And, of course, bicycles have long been supreme in the NetherlandsBut in general, promoting cycling as a practical form of physical activity has been largely ignored, even in these countries. A 2002 World Health Organization (WHO) report points out there is good evidence that regular physical activity has a protective effect against several chronic conditions, including coronary heart disease, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, colon cancer, depression and anxiety, and it highlights cycling as one form of physical activity that meets the metabolic criteria for achieving health benefits. And reports on China have noticed a relationship, but in the opposite direction: that obesity and related disorders have risen as urban populations abandoned cycling (and walking) in favor of motorized transport.As work being carried out by experts at the European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) points out, while as many as half of all trips in some cities are made by bicycle, such mobility is almost non- existent in others. Yet, in EU countries, 30% of motorized trips are shorter than 2 km and 50% are shorter than 5 km. Cycling even these distances can be beneficial: according to the WHO, two normal 15-minute cycling trips a day (say, to and from work) would be enough to provide marked health benefits. Apart from these health advantages, there are others, including cleanliness and cost- effectiveness. Moreover, bike-friendly policies are not that hard to introduce, once the political willpower is there.There are policy challenges. Cycle lanes are not cost-free and require detailed traffic planning. Also, the more people cycle, the more cyclists get hurt. In fact, in the Netherlands about a fifth of all road deaths are cyclists, though overall, Dutch road facilities are relatively low. However, safe facilities could reduce road facilities for all road users, including for cyclists, with some governments promoting the wearing of helmets, for instance. Indeed, helmets are now mandatory for the first time in the Tour de France.Unfortunately, the credibility of the world’s greatest cycle race as ambassador of good health has been dented in recent years by drug scandals; on the other hand, the exploits of defending champion Lance Amstrong and his triumphant battle against cancer seem to send a simple, more positive, message: get on your bike.11. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an advantage of doing cycling trips?A.Keeping healthyB. ConvenientC. CleanlinessD. Cost- effectiveness12.Which of the following is true according to the passage?.A. Competitors never wore helmets in the Tour de France before.B.The rate of people cycling is even higher in the Netherlands than in China.C.Policy has to be made for cycle lanes.D.Bicycle has been supreme only in the Netherlands and China.13. What does the word “dented” (last paragraph, sentence 2) mean?A. harmedB. deeply impressedC. worn offD. bore into14.Which of the following is the author likely to agree?A.People in most of the EU cities don’t use bike to do trips.B.Cycling can cure anxiety, diabetes, as well colon cancer.C.Amstrong has at least won twice in a row in the Tour de FranceD.Cycling may be a perfect substitute for motor with hardly any problem.15.Which of the following best fits the title of the passage?A. Tour France- great cycle raceB. The use of cyclingC. Cycling do good to your healthD. Get on your bike3.Translation (35%)(1).Translate the following sentences into English with the words given in the brackets.(20%)a. 这个资金是用来缓解洪水中的灾民遇到的困难。
