阅读理解 （共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分） 阅读下列短文,从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A 难度:★The "Thumbs-Up" While Western culture has become used to the thumbs-up as a positive signal (probably coming from World War II pilots using the signal to communicate that they were "good to go" with ground crews), there are cultures where a thumbs-up may land you in trouble. In West Africa, as well as Greece, Italy and Middle East, the thumbs-up is pretty much the biggest insult(侮辱). Rather more charming is a thumbs-up in Germany and in parts of Japan —they just see it as the hand signal for the number one. The "A-OK" This sign is mainly used by divers(潜水员)to mean "OK"(to prevent being confused with the thumbs-up sign, which means "rise"). Basically the meaning comes out as "great", or "completely fine". However, in a few countries in Europe, people may think you’re telling them that you think they’re a 'zero’. The "V Sign" The sign comes in two formats: one with the palm faced outwards, and one with the palm inwards. In America they mean the same thing —"victory". However, if the outside of your hand is facing your target, you’re giving somebody a long-established insult in Great Britain and many English-speaking countries such as Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. Winston Churchill famously used the "incorrect" version of the V sign during the early years of the war, turning the outside inside later. The V sign is also considered rude in Italy.The "Corna" The corna hand gesture has most recently been adopted by fans of rock and heavy metal music. Nowadays many Americans use the gesture simply to mean "rock on", or in support of the University of Texas in Austin (known as the "Hook’em Horns"). Today it is still popular in Spain, Brazil and Slovakia (斯洛伐克) . Historically, however, the symbol possibly dates back to Ancient Greece. 56. Which of the following signs doesn’t have an insulting meaning?A. The "Thumbs-Up". B. The "A-OK". C. The "V Sign". D. The "Corna".57. The pilots in World War II used to make the "Thumbs-Up" sign to show _________.A. the plane was very good B. the plane was ready to take offC. they were going to land on the ground D. they were thankful to the ground crews58. What information can we get from the passage? A. The "V Sign" was first used by Winston Churchill.B. Italians often use the "Thumbs-Up" to praise others.C. You are most likely to see the "Corna" in a heavy metal music concert. D. The "A-OK" and the "Thumbs-Up" have the same meaning to divers.59. If you travel abroad, you ’d better not use the "V Sign" in ______________.A. Greece or Italy B. Germany or JapanC. Ireland or Italy D. Spain or Brazil B 难度:★★The 1960 Presidential Debates between Vice President Nixon and Kennedy were the first nationally televised de-bates in presidential campaign history. 70 million voters were given the opportunity to not only hear the candidates (候选人), but to compare them as well. Surprisingly, there was a big difference between the TV viewers and the radio listeners. While the radio listeners clearly thought that Nixon had won the first debate, the television viewers were impressed by Kennedy’s smile, charm and athletic appearance. Now let’s think about some other situations: what if a baseball manager knew the opposing team’s signals and were able to anticipate (预期)their game plan? Likewise, as a professional salesperson, you would be wise to notice your customers’body language and adjust your presentation accordingly. Top salespeople recognize the importance of non-verbal communication. They understand that one of the easiest and most effective ways to close sales is to be aware of their customers’buy signals. In addition to monitoring your customers’body language, it’s important to be mindful of your own gestures and keep them positive. Remember to unfold your arms, uncross your legs, nod your head in agreement and smile frequently. Matching and mirroring your body language gestures is a way of telling another that you like them and agree with them. The psychological principle behind matching and mirroring is that people want to do business with salespeople that they believe are similar to them. In 1872, Charles Darwin published the book The Expressions in Man and Animals and launched the modern study of non-verbal communication. Actually, it is a mixture of movement, posture and tone of voice.60. The example of the 1960 Presidential Debates is used to show __________.A. the presidential debates were always fierceB. the debates always attracted a wide audienceC. the voters paid more attention to the candidates’debating skillsD. the voters’opinions were affected by the candidates’non-verbal communication61. Salespeople can close sales effectively because they can __________.A. perform body language wellB. notice their customers’body languageC. adjust their body language to their customers’ D. understand what their customers’are saying62. Charles Darwin wrote the book The Expressions in Man and Animals to _________.A. report his research on body languageB. conclude man can learn a lot from animalsC. teach people how to communicate with animalsD. show the big difference between man and animals C 难度:★★★In the US and Canada winter swimmers are called Polar Bears, but in Finland they’re just called Finns. Why and how do people swim in near-freezing water during the winter? An ice hole in a lake, sub-zero (零度以下的) temperatures, a bathing suit, a wool cap, gloves, and shoes are for some people the perfect conditions for a quick dip in the water. Winter swimming is an activity that I never thought of before moving to Finland, but those who take part in the cold-water sport absolutely love it. My Finnish friend Katariina is the winter swimming leader of a group of international friends. She has been winter swimming for three years, and says, "every time I get out of the water, I have a new level of energy. "Katariina has persuaded many people, both Finns and foreigners, to try this sport, and has a group of winter swimming lovers who swim with her twice per week. The best conditions for winter swimming are -15 to -20 degrees with no wind. Katariina says that the hardest part, especially for beginners, is to psych (做好思想准备) yourself up for the water; but once you do, it feels great. Swimmers only stay in the water for 30-60 seconds before getting out, getting dressed, and heading to the comfort of their warm cars. Winter swimmers do not put their heads in the water in case of hypothermia (体温过低). Katariina says that foreigners who go winter swimming feel proud of themselves, and happy that they have tried it at least once. 63. What are Finns and Polar Bears, according to this passage?A. They are people who love winter swimming.B. The names of animals living in Finland and at the South Pole.C. They are beginners at winter swimming. D. The people of Finland.64. What are perfect conditions for winter swimming? A. A lake with ice, but warm weather.B. A warm car, and a frozen lake nearby.C. An icy lake of -15℃to -20℃without wind. D. A bathing suit, a wool cap and gloves.65. What’s the most difficult for winter swimming beginners? A. Preparing things for winter swimming.B. Persuading themselves to get into the winter.C. Getting into the water again.D. Staying longer in the water.
13. Vacations are expensive: hotels, traveling and sightseeing all cost money. For students on a budget, it may seem as if traveling is not a possibility. However, there is a solution—the working holiday, on which you can travel and see the world at the same time.If you love being outdoors, then you could try picking fruit. You could harvest strawberries in England, grapes in France, oranges in Greece or kiwis in New Zealand—the possibilities are endless! It’s hard work, but if you pick fast, you can earn well.If you prefer to dress up as a princess or pirate and get paid for it, a job in a theme park could be for you. You could try Disneyland in California, the United States, which is often looking for seasonal staff. Again, you’ll work hard, but you’ll also enjoy talking with happy customers and you’ll have fun!In Türkiye, you could work as a hot air balloon chaser. A balloon chaser works as a part of crew, which drives behind the balloon, sometimes for thousands of miles! The workers use maps and information from the pilot to figure out the landing site.So what are you waiting for?

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

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 coming of the railways in the 1830s ________ our society and economic life.A. transferredB. transformedC. transportedD. transmitted
