Is time the same all over the world? That's an easy question. You may say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes ,a day is 24 hours, and so forth. Well, maybe. But in America, time is more than that. America see time as a valuable resource. Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression, “Time is money.”2 Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to conserve and manage it People in the U.S. often attend seminars or read books on time management .It seems they all want to organize their time better. P rofessionals carry around pocket planners-some in electronic from-to keep track of appointments and deadlines People do all they can to squeeze more time out of their life .The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this opinion best: “Do you love life? Then do not waste time for that is the stuff life is made of.”3 To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes' late to an appointment usually calls for an apology or explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually don't try that at work.4 American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often fix the time days or weeks in advance. Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to change it. If people want to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will just “drop by”. Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary, but most people think twice about calling after 10:00 pm.5 Even Americans would admit that no one can control time, Time is like money, and it may slip easily through our fingers. And time is like the weather that is very hard to predict. Nevertheless, time is one of life's most precious gifts.Choose the best answer according to the passage you have read.1、What's the theme of text?A、Time is money.B、Time is difficult to control.C、We should be on time.D、We should value and manage the limited and precious time.2、What dose the word “that” in the last line of Paragraph 2 refer to?A、TimeB、MoneyC、ResourceD、Seminar3、Why should we be punctual?A、We are punctual so that we don't annoy others.B、We are punctual to show that we respect others.C、We are punctual because we are forced to be so.D、We are punctual because others are punctual.4、Which of the followings is not supported in America according to this passage?A、Setting the time beforehand.B、Visiting a very close friend without letting him know it.C、Visiting an acquaintance without informing him in advance.D、Calling a person before 10 'clock at night.5、Why is time difficult to control according to the author?A、Because it goes quickly.B、Because it cannot be touched.C、Because it cannot be seen.D、Because it may slip through our fingers like money.Passage Two The Effect of Internet1when Internet, the world’s biggest computer network began twenty years ago and is growing all the time, the progress of computer technology cannot be neglected any more. Just take e-mail for example, most of us consider it as the primary way of interacting with the outside world, because e-mail is much cheaper and more convenient, compared with the telephone and snail mail. Through Internet, we can contact with anyone who is anywhere at anytime for anything. In American companies, more than three million employees are sing computer and Internet to perform their work away from the office. Internet has influenced our society and transformed our lives.2 When we thought we could not live without Internet, however, a research said Internet use appeared to cause a decline in psychological well-being. A two-year study showed people who spent just a few hours a week on Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who got on less frequently. Internet use reduced the time which is available for us to spend with our families and friends. This may result in the drop in well-being. The “bodiless” communication through Internet may be shallower.3Internet has negative effects not only on our health, but also on or society. Advanced computer t echnology generates new crimes. Let’s still take e-mail as an example. Internet hackers who are skilled but with harmful trend can easily steal thecontent of e-mail and scatter viruses through e-mail. Copyright is also a big problem. Commercial software, as well as books, records, tapes, and movies, are easily copied over Internet. But there is still on effective method to deal with these new criminal activities.4However, it’s important to remember that this is not a problem about the technology itself. It’s about how should we use it. It’s time to consider how to get rid of the negative effects and lead the development of technology and society to a right way..Choose the best answer according to the passage you have read.1.

There have been poems, books and even films made of his life, all of them telling the story a little differently.2 The basic story is like this. There was a sword stuck in a stone. The legend said that whoever could remove the sword would become King of England and save the country. Many brave knights tried to pull the sword out, but they all failed. One day, a young boy called Arthur was walking past the stone. He didn’t know it, but he was in fact the son of an old king. He pulled the sword out of the stone and become the new King of England.3 The stories of Arthur as King are tales of bravery and nobility. His closest advisor was Merlin, a powerful wizard. Arthur lived in a castle called Camelot with his beautiful wife, Guinevere. In the castle he had a round table, where he sat with his knights. It was round so that there was no one at the head of the table (where the most important person would usually sit) and Arthur and his knights were all equal. That is why they were called Knights of the Round Table. Even today people hold round-table conferences.4Arthur, with his famous magical sword Excalibur, and his closest knights Sir Lancelot and Sir Galahad, fought against the forces of evil in England. These were led by Arthur’s half-sister, Morgan, who was a witch. After many battles, there was only one left to fight. Arthur and his knights finally won the battle against Morgan’s army, and England was saved! However, Arthur had been hurt, and was dying. He threw his sword into a lake, where the magical Lady of the Lake could look after it, and then he died. He was buried in Avalon, in the south-west of England. According to the legend, Arthur will rise again to save England if it is ever in danger in the future.5 But did Arthur really exist? Some say he was a Roman, other say a Briton fighting the invading Saxons, but there is no proof of his existence. But perhaps this doesn’t matter. The story of a great, noble and brave king, who died to save this country, is the one that people of all generations find.Choose the best answer according to the passage you have read.1.How did Arthur become the King of England according to the passage?A.

Besides its Boeing planes, the United States only wants to sell its soybean, cotton and orange to China. It doesn’t like to sell high-tech products to China because it regards them as valuable items. But China’s export to the United States can help curb inflation and create four to eight million jobs in the country. Also, consumers in The United States have benefited from the import of Chinese products, which are cheap but also good quality.2 A group of major US companies have urged the US government to cancel the proposal that aims to tighten controls on high-tech exports to China. Some worldwide-known companies such as Boeing and Microsoft are among the firms that speak out against Washington’s proposal to amend its export-control regulations. A union of manufacturers, software companies and high-tech industry groups said: “our fundamental view is the regulation should be withdrawn and reconsidered after thorough consultation with exporters.” The US companies argued that although the proposal was made in name of national security, it would not provide any additional security benefits to the United States. They warned that it could in fact undermine other US efforts to strengthen relations with China A Chinese researcher said he was glad to hear such a call from US companies because business pressures would also influence the US government’s final decision.3 The restriction results in the trade imbalance between these two countries. To tackle the growing trade imbalance between China and the United States, encouraging US exports to China, in particular high-tech exports, is an effective way. China is always ready to take positive measures to solve the trade imbalance between the two sides, and the United States should not politicize its trade relations with China. The two countries should solve trade problems within the framework of the World Trade Organization(WTO).Cooperation between China and the US is not only beneficial to these two countries, but also contributes to regional and global peace, stability and development.Choose the best answer according to the passage you have read.1. Which could be the best title for this passage?A.The Issue about the Relationship between China and the USB.The Problem of the USC.China’s Trade PolicyD.Trade Imbalance between China and the US2.

What cannot be inferred from the passage?A.American companies greatly benefited from China’s export.B.The US government sets restriction on its export to China because of its political purpose.C.The US government made efforts to strengthen the relationship with China.D.China wants to keep the situation in which China can make much money by selling theUS lots of products.4. What is NOT the reason for the imbalance between the US and China?A.China’s export to the US is much more than that of the US to China.B.American products are too expensive and China does not want to buy them.C.The US doesn’t want to export high-tech products to China.D.Most of the products exported from America to China are with low technology and at lowprice.5.

The recent explosion in electronic business has made it increasingly clear that a big change for brick-and-mortar retailing looms just around the corner. A new study conducted by Greenfield Online, Inc. indicates that online sales have already begun to take a bite out of offline sales, at least among Internet-savvy shoppers.2. The big surprise, however, is that this shift is happening now, rather than some time in the future, as most industry observers have thought. The message to brick-and-mortar only stores is very afraid.3. If your local mall or department store seems less crowded these days, it may not be entirely your imagination. The newly released shopping study finds that 39% of those with access to the Internet say they go to the store or mall less often now that they can easily shop for and buy a wide variety of products online. These results are significant to retailers, since Americans who use the Internet hold 60 percent of the buying power of the total US population.4. The results of the study are based on a sample of 1,286 volunteers, drawn from an Internet user panel of nearly one million people, representative of Internet population in terms of age, gender and region.5. When someone say s “electronic business”, most people think of shopping on the Internet. But it’s more than that.6.Electronic business affects three areas of activities: direct selling, integrating the supply chain and procurement, and the best solutions are likely to include all these three. Small companies in particular can benefit from the reach and flexibility electronic business brings to business, enabling them to compete effectively with larger players.7. There are several good reasons to add electronic business to your business strategy:●In China more than 100 million users (over 14-year-old) now have access to the Internet.●There are no geographical boundaries. A manufacturer or dealer in Shenzhen can sell to buyers in Tibet and Sinkiang without opening branch offices.●Entry and overh ead costs are relatively low. It’s cheaper to launch a functional electronic business site than to open a new sales office or retail store.8.Effective cash flow management is the key to business success. With electronic business solutions you can speed up payments from customers by taking credit cardorders over the Internet. Your invoicing could be improved by using Intranet-based electronic forms and e-mail.Choose the best answer according to the passage you have read.1.

Electronic business is no more than shopping on the Internet.D. Electronic business is not only shopping on the Internet.3. What does the word “them” in the last sentence of P aragraph 6 refer to?A.
