AInformal conversation is an important part of any business relationship.Before you start a discussion,however,make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos(禁忌)in a particular tin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history,art,and customs.They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children.Yon may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends.The French think of conversation as an art form,and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements.For them,arguments can be interesting—and they can cover pretty much or any topic—as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent(智慧的)manner.In the United States,business people like to discuss a wide range of topics,including opinions about work,family,hobbies,and politics.In Japan,China,and Korea,however,people are much more private.They do not share much about their thoughts,feelings,or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious(和谐的)business relationship they're trying to build.Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters.It is considered rude,for example,to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.As general rule,it's best not to talk about politics or religion(宗教)with your business friends.This can get you into trouble,even in the United States ,where people hold different views.In addition,discussing one's salary is usually considered unsuitable.Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world,although be careful not to criticize a national sport.Instead,be friendly and praise your host's team.1.The author considers politics and religion________.A.cheerful topics B.taboosC.rude topics D.topics that can never be talked about答案:B语义理解题。

AWhen I was growing up in the 1930s, the period of the Great Depression, I didn't think of our family as poor, even though we never seemed to have money. I lived on a small farm in Pennsylvania with my parents, two elder sisters, and a younger brother. We had an old horse, a cow, a few pigs, some chickens, and a big garden. Food was not a problem. We had our own supply of milk, meat, eggs, fresh vegetables, and Momma's homemade bread.As a boy of nine, I had only a vague (模糊的) idea of what it meant to live during hard times. The weekly newspaper would carry pictures of people standing in line for bread, and the evening broadcast would tell about the huge number of jobless people and their hardships. But these reports referred to people in the cities, and we lived in the country. We never went to bed hungry, and we didn't stand in line for bread.Although my father was fortunate to have a job at the feed mill (饲料加工厂), eighteen dollars a week was only enough to pay the electric bill and to buy necessities. Momma earned a few dollars baking pies and bread.To make nightclothes, Momma used the cotton bags in which the food for our chickens came. It wasn't until years later when my high-school class went on an overnight trip that I got my first store-bought nightwear.When a piece of clothing was worn out, it wasn't thrown away. First,all the buttons were removed, grouped by size and colour, and put in cans or glass jars. Then the clothing was examined, and the best parts were saved for making rugs (地毯). Almost nothing in our house was thrown away.Although we tend to think of recycling as something fairly new, in the 1930s it was part of everyday life. “Waste not, want not” was a familiar and often repeated phrase during those Depression years.语篇解读本文是记叙文。

"Football, tennis, cricket—anything with a round ball, I was useless," he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England's rural Devonshire.It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway's school of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older man's cold-water exploits(成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.Journeys to the Pole aren't the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. "John Ridgway was one of the few who didn't say, 'You are completely crazy,'" Saunders says.In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a closer encounter(遭遇) with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation.This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.101.

The underlined word "Intrigued" in the third paragraph probably means .A. ExcitedB. ConvincedC. FascinatedD. DelightedBHave you ever gotten up one day and said to yourself, "I know what I want! I want to visit the South Pole!" Well, my guess is few of us have ever thought about this, much less to give it voice. Antarctic tours offer a chance to explore an almost totally pristine(原始的) area of our planet. Here you are given a chance to see and experience nature in its most pure form, untouched and unspoiled by civilization.Antarctic tours are usually set in motion in the Argentina's capital city of Buenos Aires. From Buenos Aires one travels south to Tierra del Fuego and then to the world's southernmost city of Ushuaia. It is here at Ushuaia that your Antarctic tour cruise will sail you on your way to South Pole adventures. Sit back within a cocoon(保护) of warmth and comfort as you are gently whisked by giant glaciers lining Beagle Channel and Drake Passage.After your arrival at Antarctica you will be taken by the motorized zodiac to the mainland. Here on the southernmost continent there are experts in the history, biology, geology and marine life in a classroom setting and wild excursions to aid your research, your studies or just plain curiosity.Your Antarctic tour will bring you on a thrilling visit to see penguins, seals, sea lions and aquatic life found only here. You will enjoy the panoramic(全景的) view of a remote archipelago with a warm temperate climate and a colony of elephant. Then you will be struck by the rich life that exists only here.A trip to Antarctica is a travel feast for the senses. Watch in amazement as a sheer cliff of ice drifts shining in the sunlight. You next experience the earsplitting sound of ice breaking off and the loud sound of crackling ice as it tumbles down from the floating ice mountain into the deepest bluest colored water.106.

But to get a close look at penguins, you have to be smart.First of all, keep in mind that Antarctica's visitor rules require that you remain at least five meters away from the penguins in order not to disturb them. You could easily become responsible for the death of a little penguin or the destruction of an egg if your too-close presence should disturb a penguin parent.If a penguin is trying to move away from you, you must stop what you're doing and back off even if you're farther than five meters away. However, the rules don't prevent a curious penguin from approaching within five meters of you—as long as the bird makes the move, not you.Little penguins, in particular, are quite curious. I've seen several lucky tourists who were astonished to find that little penguins came right up to them. If a penguin comes extremely close to you, remember: you are not allowed to touch or hold them.Here are more tips for getting close to penguins: Ignore the smell: where penguins live is filled with guano(海鸟粪) and the smell takes some time getting used to.Be quiet because loud noises make penguins nervous.Fast or sudden movements signal meat-eating animals to penguins, and they react accordingly, so slow down when you walk around them.Since it may take half an hour or more before the penguins get used to you, you need to be patient.Put away your camera—too often people are so focused on getting the pictures that they forget to look with their own eyes, but most of your most memorable experiences in Antarctica will be marked in your mind, not on a roll of films.110. What will happen if visitors disturb penguins according to Paragraph 2?A. Visitors may step on a little penguin.B. Penguin parents may break their eggs.C. Visitors are easily attacked by penguins.D.

But scientists have warned that as the hole closes up in the next few decades, temperatures on the continent could rise by around 3℃, with melting(融化) ice leading to a global sea level increase of up to 1.4 meters.In the past decades the western Antarctica has seen rapid ice loss as the world has warmed, but the other parts of the continent have been cooling, resulting in a 10% increase in ice in the seas around the area. This is because the hole in the ozone layer has increased cold winds in Antarctica, making much of the continent surface colder than usual.But now that the grasses that cause the ozone hole have not been allowed, scientists expect the hole to repair itself within the next 50 to 60 years. By then the cooling effect will have disappeared slowly and the Antarctic will face the full influence of global warming. This means an increase in air temperatures of around 3℃and a reduction in sea ice by around a third.The biggest threat(威胁) to the continent comes from warming seas. Robert Johnson, a scientist who checks Antarctica ice sheets, said, “The ice sheets in Antarctica are hundreds of metres thick. But once warm ocean waters start flowing underneath, the ice will begin thinning and could break up very quickly.” Thinning ice sheets cause ice to break away from the continent and to melt even faster. Escaping ice from western Antarctica has already resulted in a 10% rise in global sea level in recent decades.Johnson believes that international action to reduce global warming is required immediately or it may be too late. “Everything is connected—Antarctica may be a long way away but it is an important part of the Earth's system,” said Johnson. “It contains 90% of the world's ice, 70% of the world's fresh water and that is enough, if it melts completely, to raise sea levels by 63 meters.”Even in a worse-case situation scientists don't expect the ice to entirely disappear, but predict that, because of the melting ice sheets, the sea level rise will be around 1.4 meters higher by the end of the century. 115. What is the effect of the hole in the ozone layer on Antarctica?A. It is causing the ice to melt faster.B. It is making much of the continent colder.C. It is making the effects of global warming in the area worse.D. It is reducing the amount of water in Antarctica.116. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.

Ten percent of Antarctica's ice has already been lost117. The best title for the passage is .A. Antarctica Melting AwayB. Our Planet in DangerC. Action Plan to Save AntarcticaD. Let's Save the Ozone Layer八、短文7选5(5选5等)(共5小题;共10分)How to Control Your Body LanguageIn business discussions, non-verbal(非语言的) communication is as important as verbal communication. Studies suggest that non-verbal communication is so important that it delivers(传递) more than 55 percent of the message across, without actually using words. 118. The following tips on non-verbal communication will help you control your own body language in order to be successful in business discussions.Be on TimePerhaps one of the worst and also the most frequent mistakes is not to take promises of time seriously. 119. Being late not only shakes your self-confidence, but also gives a poor first impression to others. Some cultures are so serious about being on time that they may even consider being late impolite. The final result is that the discussion process will suffer.Make the Old-fashioned Handshake120. It shows confidence and promotes trust among the individuals. Researchers have suggested that a handshake makes people comfortable and improves agreement. For business discussions, this promotes honesty in the communication and thus leads to successful dealings.Know Your Listeners121. Rely on your feeling and respond according to your listeners. When making a discussion, one needs to be aware of (意识到) the things he must share and he is talking about. A successful discussant ensure(确保) that the message reaches the right listener for the most proper results.Mind Your Facial ExpressionsSome casual(随意的) facial expressions may destroy effective communication. In some cases, showing fear or worry may also be mistaken as being unable and lack of confidence—things that must not be used in business meetings. Therefore, ensure that you have trained yourself to improve your positive expressions and hide the negative ones. 122.A. Avoid looking at someone directly for a long time.B.
