There is much discussion today about whether economic growth is desirable．At an earlier period，our desire for material wealth may have been justified．Now，however，this desire for more than we need is causing serious problems．Even though we have good intentions，we may be producing too much，too fast．Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down．They believe that society is approaching certain limits on growth．These include the fixed supply of natural resources，the possible negative effects of industry on the natural environment，and the continuing increase in the world's population．As society reaches these limits，economic growth can no longer continue，and the quality of life will decrease．People who want more economic growth，on the other hand，argue that even at the present growth rate there are still many poor people in the world．Theseproponents of economic growth believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life in the world．Furthermore，they argue that only continued growth can provide the financial resources required to protect our natural surroundings from industrialization．This debate over the desirability of continued economic growth is of vital importance to business and industry．If those who argue against economic growth are correct，the problems they mention cannot be ignored．To find a solution，economists and business community must pay attention to these problems and discuss them with one another．72．According to those who argue against economic growth we must slow down for the following reasons EXCEPT that ____ ．A．our natural surroundings are in danger of being destroyed by industryB．the fixed supply of natural resources marks a point beyond which economic growth cannot continueC．the world population is ever increasingD．more efforts should be made to improve the quality of our material life73..Those who want more economic growth believe that continued economic growth ____ ．A．is essential to the well-being of society as a wholeB．can provide the solution to many of our social problems todayC．can protect our environment from being polluted by industryD．can provide us with more natural resources for industrialization74..The word"proponents"（in Paragraph 3）probably means ____ ．A．arguments in support of somethingB．disagreements with other peopleC．people who argue for somethingD．people who argue against something75..The passage is mainly about ____ ．A．the conflict between economists and the industrial businessB．the present debate on economic growthC．the advantages and disadvantages of economic growthD．the importance of the debate on economic growth．
Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero? Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame. Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people. The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant? Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless. 【小题1】Although heroes may come from different cultures, they __________. A．generally possess certain inspiring characteristics B．probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people C．are often influenced by previous generations D．all unknowingly attract a large number of fans 【小题2】 According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that _______. A．they have a vision from the mountaintop B．they have warm feelings and emotions C．they can serve as concrete examples of noble principles D．they can make people feel stronger and more confident 【小题3】Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because __________. A．they are popular only among certain groups of people B．their performances do not improve their fans morally C．their primary concern is their own financial interests D．they are not clear about the principles they should follow 【小题4】The author concludes that historical changes would __________. A．be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualities B．not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrifices C．take place if there were heroes to lead the people D．produce leaders with attractive personalities

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
