Plastic is widely used for countless daily items，yet only around 9% of the plastic we use gets recycled.The rest is either burned，which releases harmful gases，or buried.Most of this waste plastic ends up in oceans，where it takes centuries to break down and harms sea creatures. Worse，still，current biodegradable plastics don't solve the issue fully.They don't break down completely in seawater；and instead，they split into tiny microplastics.These microplastics are too small to be filtered out easily，so they enter our soil，water sources，and food supplies，eventually making their way into human bodies.Scientists even predict that by 2050，there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. To solve this problem，researchers at Japan's RIKEN Centre developed a new type of plastic.Unlike other biodegradable plastics，it fully dissolves（溶解）in seawater.When dissolved，it breaks into original substances that bacteria（细菌）can fully decompose（分解）—leaving no harmful remains.Tests show it decomposes in hours in seawater and about 10 days in soil. This new plastic has other advantages too.It is non-toxic（so it won't harm living things）and non-flammable（so it can't catch fire easily）.When heated to 120°C，it can be shaped into various forms：a hard，scratch-resistant surface，flexible rubber objects，or strong items that hold heavy weight—this flexibility suits different needs. Takuzo Aida，who led the research，said， "With this new material，we've created plastics that are strong，stable，recyclable，multi-functional，and importantly，do not produce microplastics." It could be used in 3 D printing，medical equipment，or single-use packaging，helping reduce plastic pollution in both oceans and daily life.（1）How does the author introduce the problem in Paragraph 1？ ____ A.By giving opinions and ideas.B.y providing facts and results.C.By sharing experiences and stories.D.By comparing similarities and differences.（2）What is the main problem with current biodegradable plastics？ ____ A.They burn out slowly.B.They harm land animals.C.They form more microplastics.D.They pollute air when thrown away.（3）How is the new plastic different from other biodegradable plastics in seawater？ ____ A.It can be recycled after use.B.It sinks faster to avoid harming wildlife.C.It changes color to warn marine animals.D.It fully dissolves and is broken down by bacteria.（4）What can we infer from the text？ ____ A.This plastic can be shaped at any temperature.B.Scientists plan to develop more advanced plastics.C.The new plastic is especially suitable for medical use.D.The new plastic might be widely used in many fields.（5）What is the author's purpose in writing the text？ ____ A.To compare different plastic recycling methods.B.To introduce a practical solution to plastic pollution.C.To explain the process of making a new type of plastic.D.To discuss microplastics' harmful effects on human health.

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.

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.

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
