An extremely rare manuscript（手稿） signed by English naturalist Charles Darwin is expected to fetch up to ﹩790，00 at a Sotheby's auction next month.The document contains a passage from the famous 1859 work On the Origin of Species，in which Darwin put forth his theory of evolution. The document was once thought to be a deserted page from an earlier manuscript of the work.But experts now understand it was written in 1865 and sent to the editor of the Autographic Mirror who had requested a signed writing sample from Darwin. "While some of Darwin's notes and manuscript pages have survived over the last hundred or more years，he was known to keep revising his publications，often throwing away pages from working drafts as waste paper，making them extremely rare，" Sotheby's said in a statement. On the Origin of Species was voted the most influential academic book of all time in a public poll held during Academic Book Week in 2015.The book offers Darwin's revolutionary idea that species evolve over generations in the process of natural selection. Darwin backed up his theory with evidence collected during his 1831—1836 voyage on the H.M S.Beagle，during which he observed and collected specimens （标本） from a number of species.On the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador，Darwin noted that the finches（鸣雀）on the island were similar to finches on the mainland；however，the availability of different foods in each area had led to differences in beak shapes. The manuscript will be placed on display at Sotheby's in New York between Nov.30 and Dec 8，and online bids will be accepted between Now.25 and Dec.8.The auction house estimates that the document will fetch between ﹩600，000 and ﹩790，000. The auction，which is titled Age of Wonder，will also include a first edition of On the Origin of Species and a copy of scientific paper by Darwin and another naturalist.（1）What do we know about the manuscript？ ____ A．It's a page of On the Origin of Species.B．It's a draft of Darwin's scientific paper.C．It's a signed writing sample to an editor.D．It's waste paper from Darwin's study.（2）What makes Darwin's On the Origin of Species the most influential academic book？ ____ A．His methods of research.B．His adventure on the sea.C．The rare manuscript.D．His theory of evolution.（3）What does the underlined phrase "backed up" mean in Paragraph 5？ ____ A．supportedB．explainedC．declaredD．created（4）What is the purpose of the auction？ ____ A．To put the manuscript on sale.B．To display Darwin's works.C．To vote the best academic books.D．To release a new discovery.

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
