On one of the shelves of an old dresser, in company with old and dusty sauceboats, jugs, dishes and plates, and paid bills, rested a worn and ragged Bible, on whose front page was the record, in faded ink, of a baptism dated ninety-four years ago. "Martha Crale" was the name written on that yellow page. The yellow, wrinkled old dame who moved slowly and muttered about the kitchen, looking like a dead autumn leaf which the winter winds still pushed here and there, had once been Martha Crale; for seventy old years she had been Martha Mountjoy. For longer than anyone could remember she had paced to and fro between oven and wash-house and dairy, and out to chicken-run and garden, grumbling and muttering and scolding, but working unceasingly. Emma Ladbruk, of whose coming she took as little notice as she would of a bee wandering in at a window on a summer"s day, used at first to watch her with a kind of frightened curiosity. She was so old and so much a part of the place, it was difficult to think of her exactly as a living thing. Old Shep, the white-nosed, stiff-limbed shepherd dog, waiting for his time to die, seemed almost more human than the withered, dried-up old woman. He had been a noisy, excited puppy, mad with the joy of life, when she was already a weak and tottering dame; now he was just a blind, breathing animal body, nothing more, and she still worked with frail energy, still swept and baked and washed, fetched and carried. If there were something in these wise old dogs that did not perish utterly with death, Emma used to think to herself, what generations of ghost-dogs there must be out on those hills, that Martha had reared and fed and tended and spoken a last goodbye word to in that old kitchen. And what memories she must have of human generations that had passed away in her time. It was difficult for anyone, let alone a stranger like Emma, to get her to talk of the days that had been; her shrill, quivering speech was of doors that had been left unfastened, pails that had got mislaid, calves whose feeding-time was overdue, and the various little faults that change a farmhouse routine. Now and again, when election time came round, she would unstore her recollections of the old names round which the fight had waged in the days gone by. There had been a Palmerston, that had been a name down Tiverton way; Tiverton was not a far journey as the crow flies, but to Martha it was almost a foreign country. Later there had been Northcotes and Aclands, and many other newer names that she had forgotten; the names changed, but it was always Libruls and Tootles, Yellows and Blues. And they always quarrelled and shouted as to who was right and who was wrong. The one they quarrelled about most was a fine old gentleman with an angry face—she had seen his picture on the walls. She had seen it on the floor too, with a rotten apple squashed over it, for the farm had changed its politics from time to time. Martha had never been on one side or the other, none of "they" had ever done the farm a stroke of good. Such was her sweeping verdict, given with all a peasant"s distrust of the outside world. The description of Old Shep and the wise old dogs was intended to illustrate ______.A. Emma"s frightened curiosity about Martha CraleB. the mysterious life of Martha CraleC. Martha Crale"s frail but tough physical conditionD. Martha Crale"s closer relation with dog than with human

The railroad industry could not have grown as large as it did without steel.The first rails were made of iron.But iron rails were not strong enough to support heavy trains running at high speed.Railroad officials wanted to replace them with steel rails because steel was ten or fifteen times stronger and lasted twenty times longer.Before the 1870‘s,however,steel was too expensive to be widely used.It was made by a slow and expensive process of heating,stirring,and reheating iron ore.Then the inventor Henry Bessemer discovered that directing a blast of air at melted iron in a furnace(熔炉) would burn out the impurities(杂质)that made the iron brittle(易脆).As the air shot through the furnace,the bubbling metal would erupt(喷发)in showers of sparks.When the fire cooled,the metal had been changed,or converted,to steel.The Bessemer converter made possible the mass production of steel.Now three to five tons of iron could be changed into steel in a matter of minutes.Just when the demand for more and more steel developed,prospectors discovered huge new deposits(矿床) of iron ore in the Mesabi Range,a 120-mile-long region in Minnesota near Lake Superior.The Mesabi deposits were so near the surface that they could be mined with steam shovels.Barges and steamers carried the iron ore through Lake Superior to deposits on the southern shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie.With dizzying speed Gary,Indiana and Toledo,Youngstown,and Cleveland,Ohio,became major steel manufacturing centers.Pittsburgh was the greatest steel city of all.32.The best title for the passage is ____ .A.The Railroad IndustryB.Famous InventorsC.Changing Iron into SteelD.Steel Manufacturing Centers33.According to the passage,how did the Bessemer method make the mass production of steel possible? ____ A.It directed air at melted iron in a furnace,removing all impurities.B.It slowly heated iron ore,then stirred it and heated it again.C.It changed iron ore into iron,which was a substitute(替代物) for steel.D.It could be quickly found deposits of iron ore under the ground.34.The furnace that Bessemer used to process iron into steel was called a ____ .A.heater B.steamer C.converter D.shower35.It can be inferred from the passage that the mass production of steel caused ____ .A.a decline(衰退) in the railroad industryB.a revolution in the industrial worldC.an increase in the price of steelD.a feeling of discontent among steel workers

第一节完形填空(共10小题:每小题1分,满分10分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Mr. Johnson was an excellent maths teacher. His students would never _31_ their first class he gave them. He always wrote the numbers 2 and 4 on the blackboard in the first class to his _32_ students, and asked them,"What is the answer?" Whenever he asked this question, some of his students said 6 was the _33_. Some others thought that 2 was more proper and some of them _34_8 as the answer. Moreover, there were still others who were just _35_ on their seats without a word. While the students were discussing what the answer was, Mr. Johnson always _36_ their reply patiently. Finally, he sighed(叹气) and said,"Your _37_ is useless because none of you focused your attention on the point:What _38_ the question is asked about. Did I ask you to do anything about the two _39_?

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.
