Television talk shows have been popular since arrival of the medium, like many shows coming from the ones on radio. For example, the start of talk shows’ golden age can be considered in 1948, although the television was not common in American homes until the 1950s. From 1949 to 1973, nearly half of all daytime programs on the three networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) was talk. As we know that video did not kill the talk show hosts, the radio stars—it made him / her an even bigger star. Hosts during the golden age included Arthur Godfrey (Arthur Godfrey and his friends), Dave Garroway (The Today Show), and Jack Par (The Tonight Show). All were necessary parts in the formation of the talk show formats (编排) we know and love today. A talk show can cost less than$100,000 per episode (连续剧中的一集) to produce while many of today’s dramas cost more than$1 million an episode. So, if successful, it can make bountiful money. Still, it takes a lot of work. Since 1948, hundreds of talk shows have come and gone, with only a few having true staying long. Conan O’Brien, for example, tried to stay long only because the network did not know what else to put in its place. There are several types of talk shows, from the foreign and strange programs like Comedy Central’s The Graham Norton Effect to the more traditional Late Show with David Letterman. But while the styles might be different, the format is limited (受限制). What we are most used to is the informal (非正式的) guest-host format, in which the show’s host welcomes famous people or other talk-worthy people, and this is considered as an informal discussion. The scene is is very comedic (戏剧性) or musical or both. The second most common format is the public affairs (公共事务) show, in which a host or hosts interviews people in the news or experts in a given field. Shows that follow this format include booth the morning news programs (Good morning America Or Meet the Press) and “issue” talk shows (The Oprah Winfrey Show or The Jerry Springer Show). Everything else is mainly a mixture of these two formats.【小题】(1) The start of the talk shows’ golden age was __________.A.In the 1920sB.In the 1940sC.In the 1950sD.From 1949 to 1973【小题】(2) _____ are the famous hosts during the golden age.A.rthur GodfreyB.Arthur Godfrey and his FriendsC.Dave Garroway and Jack ParD.Arthur Godfrey, Dave Garroway and Jack Par【小题】(3) Why can’t many talk shows stay for a long time?A.Because it costs much to produce per episode.B.ecause they can’t make money from their programs.C.Because they have nothing new to put in their programs.D.The passage does not tell the readers about it.【小题】(4) In which kind of talk shows, do the hosts always interview people in the news?A.The guest-host format shows.B.The public affairs shows.C.Both A and B.D.Neither A nor B..

阅读下面的文字,完成下面小题。 材料一: 25-|||-20-|||-15-|||-10-|||-5-|||-点 学-|||-的-|||-,.................. 材料二: 2013年11月,国家首次提出“精准扶贫”理念,指出扶贫要实事求是、因地制宜,切忌喊口号。如何精准?一些地方创造性地探索菜单式扶贫开发新模式。 菜单式扶贫最大的特点,就是群众“点菜”、政府“配菜”、干部“上菜”、考核“评菜”。主动问需于民,倾听困难群众的发展意愿,引导群众称心“点菜”,做到“你点我有”“你需我供”,这是基础。根据“一村一策、一户一法”的要求,树立“要什么、给什么”的帮扶理念,精心“配菜”,着力打造调和众口的“满汉全席”,这是重点。依托干部职业技能和岗位特点,为不同类型贫困户送上私人定制的“精品点心”,扶持发展特色产业,从志愿服务、慈善帮困、就业创业、增收致富等方面为贫困户贴心“上菜”,这是核心。用心“评菜”,将精准扶贫纳入部门乡镇和单位的重点工作,把责任落实到每一个联系单位和联系责任人身上,确保肩上有担子、心中有压力、工作有动力,这是保障。打造好这一完整链条,扶贫也就扶到了实处,扶到了根儿上。菜单式扶贫是对“精准”的生动诠释。只要根据困难群众的实际需要和客观诉求,对存在的问题点对点具体解决,就能定制出一桌桌香气四溢的“帮扶大餐”,一道道内容丰富的“营养菜品”。 某些地方的扶贫之所以总是“涛声依旧”,与一些干部找不准穷根却热衷于大上项目、大造声势、撒胡椒面的急功近利,大有关系。菜单式扶贫开发变“大水漫灌”为“精准滴灌”,可以有效克服大呼隆式扶贫的弊端,扭转贫困数据来自抽样调查、扶贫项目千人一面、脱贫规划千篇一律的状况,增强了扶贫资金和扶贫项目的针对性、灵活性、实效性和长远性。与此同时,菜单式扶贫还有助于倒逼干部转变观念,锤炼一支沉得下去、扎得住根、出得了力的扶贫队伍,打通惠民政策落地生根的“最后一公里”。 (摘编自《菜单式扶贫,要害在“精准”》,2016年08月25日《人民日报》) 材料三: 消除贫困,人类有史以来即为无数仁人志士之宏伟理想,然实现之难,亦是人类公认之难题。中国历史上,大同小康之梦从未停歇。今天执政党提出关于2020年前全面建成小康社会基本消除贫困人口的口号具有重大意义。民生是最大的政治,就此角度而言,本届政府将在民生政治上创造奇迹。 这一结论的大背景当然是中国经济过去近四十年的增长和社会总财富的积累,但如果仅靠经济发展就能够消除所有贫困,那扶贫就不会成为一个困扰很多国家甚至包括发达国家在内的公认难题。事实上,扶贫工作极具技术性难度,因为扶贫的目标不只是让贫困人口接受资助,资助永远消除不了贫穷,而是要让贫困人口同时具有创造财富的能力,这才能导致结果并非“济一时之贫”而是“开终身财富之源”。 中国经济发展积累的确为扶贫打下深厚基础,但过去五年的扶贫工作相较之前仍然取得了重大进步,不只体现为消除贫困人口数量和速度的增长,还表现为质量的明显提升,扶贫工作越来越趋于扶贫的本质——造血功能增强,形式主义弊病大为减少。 扶贫工作的进步来自两大推动力。首先是本届政府对扶贫工作的高度重视。党的十八大以来,中央将脱贫攻坚摆到治国理政突出位置,将精准扶贫作为民生政治的主要抓手。“看真贫、扶真贫、真扶贫”成为各级扶贫干部工作遵循的基本准则。在这样的大环境下,扶贫工作新模式层出不穷。 精准扶贫能够取得如此成效既归功于中央的战略眼光,也得益于市场和社会力量的配合。过去五年里,中国政府深度利用了互联网、大数据等信息技术并且引领相关企业一同参与扶贫事业,成为过去五年中国精准扶贫的一大特色。陕西贫困县洛川产苹果,2015年洛川县政府与电商达成合作,2016年洛川农民曾11个小时内卖掉了18万斤苹果,一时名声大噪,目前该县农民九成以上的收入来自种植苹果,全县贫困人口基本消除。 有战略层面的空前重视,有利用新技术创造“政府主导、市场引领”的扶贫模式,完成人类史上的罕见奇迹也就水到渠成。由此,中国扶贫奇迹从何而来也就不难解释了。 (摘编自《中国扶贫奇迹从何而来》,2017年10月19日《南方周末》) 1.下列对材料相关内容的理解,不正确的一项是( ) A. “菜单式扶贫”一词采用形象生动的方式,将精准扶贫活动的几个关键环节以群众“点菜”、政府“配菜”、干部“上菜”、考核“评菜”的方式阐释出来。 B. 群众“点菜”是基础,主要侧重于问需于民,做到“你需我供”“你点我有”“要什么、给什么”,认真倾听困难群众的发展意愿。 C. 考核“评菜”是保障,主要指责任落实到每一个联系单位和联系责任人身上,确保肩上有担子、心中有压力、工作有动力。 D. 一些地方扶贫工作一成不变、毫无起色,与一些干部热衷于大项目、大造声势的急功近利和找问题不精准有关,菜单式扶贫可以有效控制这些问题。 2.下列对材料相关内容的概括和分析,正确的两项是( ) A. 从材料一中可以看出,当前农村致贫原因多样,主观原因大于客观原因,未来要解决贫困问题,就可能会面对复杂多变的扶贫状况。 B. 材料二通过正反对比,强调了精准扶贫的具体方式和重要性;材料三以总分总的结构集中分析了中国扶贫奇迹的原因之所在。 C. 消除贫困是人类有史以来无数仁人志士的宏伟理想,只要致力于此理想,则必将创造民生与政治上的奇迹。 D. 陕西省洛川县为国家贫困县,当地九成以上的农民其收入来自于种植苹果,目前该县人口贫困状态已基本消除。 E. 单独依靠资助永远消除不了贫穷。我国扶贫的目标不只是让贫困人口接受资助,而是要让贫困人口同时具有创造财富的能力,这才能使扶贫足以“开终身财富之源”。 3.中国的扶贫奇迹从何而来?结合材料简要概括。

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

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.
