Reuters: the Business of News One of the world’s biggest suppliers of news and financial information, Reuters Group PLC, has a worldwide network of 2000 journalists and provides news stories, photographs and videos to newspapers, televisions and Internet sites. Although it is better known as a press agency, Reuters in fact makes most of its profits through promoting financial information such as currency rates and stock prices to bankers and investors all over the world. The history of Reuters goes hand in hand with improvements in communication technology. Reuters was established by Paul Julius Reuter-originally a bookseller in Germany. He set up a service using carrier pigeons to fly stock prices between Aachen in Germany, where the German telegraph line ended, and Brussels in Belgium, where the Belgian telegraph line began. In 1851, London had an important place in the global telegraphic network, because of which Reuter moved into an office near the London stock exchange from where he supplied investors in London and Paris with stock prices over the new Dover-Calais telegraph line. He expanded the service to include news items and had offices throughout Europe by the late 1850s. As overland and undersea cables were laid, the business of Reuters expanded to the Far East in 1872 and South America in 1874. Its reputation also grew with a number of scoops. For example, Reuters was the first in Europe to announce President Lincoln’s death in 1865. Reuter retired in 1872 and the company changed its name to Reuters Ltd. In 1923, Reuters began to use teleprinters to distribute news to London newspapers and to supply news to Europe. After the growing pressure from the British government for Reuters to serve British interests, the company was restructured in 1941 in order to maintain its independence as agency. (69) At the same time, in the face of competition from American agencies after World War Two, Reuters expanded its financial information services. In 1964, Reuters introduced Stockmaster, which transmitted stock information from around the world onto computer screens. In 1973, the launch of the Reuters monitor created an electronic marketplace for foreign currency by displaying currency rates in real time. Reuters expanded this to include news and other financial information. This was followed by the Reuters monitor dealing service in 1981, which allowed foreign currency traders to trade directly from their own computers. In the 1990s, Reuters continued to develop information systems, including multimedia and online services. It bought a number of companies, including a television company which was called Reuters Television, which provides news, sports, business and entertainment via satellite to broadcasters in more than 90 countries. (70) Today’s Reuters is still based on its Trust Principles, which state that news and information from the company must be independent and free from bias. Reuters’journalists have to provide accurate and clear descriptions of events so that individuals, organizations and governments can make their own decisions based on facts. Answer the following questions according to the passage. 1.How does Reuters get most of its money
In other Europeans’ eyes, the British are binge-drinkers (酗酒者) and class-conscious. Are we British really so – drinking excessively and being sensitive to class status? Let’s take a look at these observations and see whether they hold water.Start with the bottle. Statistics show that we are far from Europe’s heaviest drinkers. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) ranked us 11th in Europe for alcohol consumption, far behind France in first place, followed by Portugal and Austria. But while the French, German, Spanish and Italians are drinking much less than they did in 1980, the British are drinking nine percent more.Still, it’s not the volume of pints consumed that has led to our boozy reputation. It’s the way we drink that’s the problem. The French figure may be high, but that’s driven up by a lot of people drinking moderately: a glass or two of red wine at dinner. The British, however, have vast, rapid consumptions aimed solely at getting hammered. One study found that 54 percent of British 15- and 16-year-olds admit to binge drinking, compared to a European average of 43 percent.Now let’s look at class. It’s tempting to say that class is out of date, that most British now belong in the vast, sprawling middle class. But the figures are much less comforting. The OECD put Britain at the bottom of the social mobility league table, finding that children born into poor families here have a lower chance of getting on than they do in Italy, France, Spain or Germany.Even if the figures were not against us, we could hardly complain if our fellow Europeans think we have a hang-up about class. What message do we British think we send when our signature cultural export of 2011 was Downton Abbey, a television drama entirely about the intricacies of class and social hierarchy?Now we may say that there is more than a little reality behind our image. Yet no British could accept these depictions of us without some dissent (意见分歧). For instance, those descriptions are often contradictory. How can we simultaneously be both self-controlled and prone to rip our clothes off in a drunken haze? Thus, what our European neighbors see of us is a thumbnail (简要的) sketch, not the whole picture.1. The phrase “hold water” (Para. 1) probably means "___________".A) be convincing B) be excessiveC) be flexibleD) be conscious2. According to the statistics of the OECD, Britain has ___________.A) the lowest number of overweight drinkers in EuropeB) the largest number of moderate drinkers in EuropeC) a larger amount of alcohol consumption than France and AustriaD) a larger amount of alcohol consumption today than in the 1980s 3. The British are different from the French in terms of drinking habits in that ___________.A) they drink a large amount within a very short time B) they drink more red wine than other wines at dinnerC) they impose harsh rules to ban teenage drinkingD) they start binge drinking from a much earlier age4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A) Social mobility has less appeal to the British than to the Italians.B) Social mobility is more active in Britain than in Spain and Germany.C) Class distinctions still exert great influence on the lives of modern British. D) Class status has become an outdated concept in modern British society.5. The author thinks that the image of the British as viewed by other Europeans is ___________.A) somewhat worrisome but trueB) somewhat reasonable but incomplete C) absolutely accurate but briefD) absolutely wrong but popular
34. People living in small towns and villages often seem more friendly than those living in ___ populated areas.A. denselyB. highlyC. intensivelyD. tensely

Recycling Electronic Waste When Alex Lin was 11 years old， he read an alarming article in the newspaper which said that people were burying old computers in backyards， throwing TVs into streams， and dumping （丢弃） cell phones in the garbage. This was dangerous because e-waste contains harmful chemicals that can leak into the environment， getting into crops， animals， water supplies-and people. Alex was really worried and decided to make it next project for WIN-the Westerly Innovations Network. Alex and six of his friends had formed this organization to help solve community problems two years before. But what could they do about this project with e-waste？ The team spent several weeks gathering information about the harmful chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans. They learned how to dispose （处置） of e-waste properly and how it could be recycled. Then， they sent out a survey and found only one in eight knew what e-waste was， let alone how to properly dispose of it. Alex and his friends went into action. They advertised in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students， asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot. The drive lasted two days， and they collected over 9，500 kilograms of e-waste. The next step was to set up a long-term e-waste drop-off center for the town. After some research，they'd learned that reusing is the best way to deal with electronic devices and it is seven times more efficient than recycling. So， they began learning to refurbish（翻新）computers themselves and distributed them to students who didn't have their own. In this way， they could help students in the area and protect the environment at the same time. For a lasting solution to e-waste， the drop-off center wasn't enough. Laws would have to be passed. In 2016， WIN helped push for an e-waste bill in their town， which required companies that manufactured or sold electronics to take back e-waste. The bill clearly forbids the dumping of e-waste. Because of the work of WIN，more and more people，like Alex and his team，are getting the message about safe disposal of e-waste. As Alex says，"Today's technology should not become tomorrow's harmful garbage."（1）What was Alex's worry after he read the article？ ____ A. The littering of e-waste.B. The recycling of plastic.C. The change of environment.D. The overuse of old computers.（2）What did Alex do to start the project？ ____ A. Set up WIN.B. Collect information.C. Ask friends for help.D. Carry out a survey.（3）Which can best describe the way Alex and his team did their work？ ____ A. Traditional.B. Competitive.C. Scientific.D. Convenient.（4）What message does the story convey？ ____ A. There is no end to perfection.B. Success comes through failure.C. Every positive attitude has a reward.D. Young people can make a big difference.
Weeks have passed since the world lost contact with Malaysia Airlines flightMH370 and its 239 passengers and crew． Although there is little hope of finding any of the passengers and crew alive， China has been making all-out efforts to find what remains of the plane in the southern Indian Ocean， where the plane is believed to have crashed． The search operations involve the navy， the marine police， scientific research and so on． While China's authorities and military forces have passed the test， the search operations have also shown some weaknesses． It is necessary to address these problems because China is a nation that faces many natural disasters． Lack of professional equipment has been the most notable problem． Among all the ships involved in the search for MH370， only Nanhai jiu 115 and Donghai jiu 101 and a few other ships have professional rescue equipment． There are also gaps between China and the US in other technologies such as sea-probing （探测）equipment and telecommunications． China mainly sent transporter planes， which lacked the necessary equipment to probe the ocean． While the United States sent P-3 C and P-SA planes and MH60-R helicopters with equipment that can probe to depths of 76 meters and cover 770 sq kilometers in four hours． China's technology clearly needs to be improved． After the plane lost contact on March 8， more than one satellite received signals from it， but there is no report of any of China's satellites receiving a signal． Besides technology， China urgently needs to strengthen its international soft power， because almost all the important information was first obtained by Western media， which put pressure upon the Malaysian government for more timely and accurate information． Chinese media mainly forwarded the news broken by their Western colleagues． Last but not least， more attention should be paid to international cooperation． The search and rescue efforts could well have been a race against time to save lives， but limited by international laws and the absence of cooperation mechanisms， China and some other countries involved did not fully share timely information．（1）What is China's most urgent problem to be deal with in rescue work according to the passage？ ____ A． Lack of international cooperation．B． Not sharing timely information．C． Lack of professional equipment．D． Too many natural disasters．（2）Which of the following shows that China's technology needs improving？ ____ A． None of its satellites received any signal after MH370 lost touch．B． Only a few ships have professional rescue equipment．C． The military forces did not find the missing plane．D． Chinese media mainly forwarded the news broken by their Western colleagues．（3）What is the best title for this passage？ ____ A． MH370， come back home nowB． China makes all-out efforts to find what remains of MH370C． Lessons to be learnt from MH370 searchD． Why the missing MH370 cannot be found

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 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.
