Each day, computers help millions of people do their jobs more effectively. For example, they can help managers decide on a future course of action, and they can then help with the follow-up checks on performance to see if planned goals are being achieved. By using accurate and timely facts supplied by data base management software, a manager can do a better job of identifying problems and opportunities. The facts retrieved by such software can then be manipulated by a spreadsheet package to help the manager plan to alternate courses of action. And managers may not need to spend as much time in controlling when a computer can respond with a triggered report if actual performance varies from what was planned. The time saved in controlling may allow managers to give more attention to employees’ concerns, and this, in turn, may result in improved morale.But employment benefits certainly aren’t restricted to managers. Healthcare researchers and other scientists also use computers to conduct research into complex problem areas that couldn’t otherwise be studied. Lawyers use online legal data banks to locate precedent cases in order to serve clients better. Salespeople can receive more timely information about products in stock, can promise customers that their sales orders will be handled promptly, and can thus improve their sales performance because of the computer system. And the job duties of some office and factory workers have changed from routine, repetitive operations to more varied and appealing tasks through computer usage. For example, office workers who understand text processing, computing, and data communication usually have vital roles and are given critical office functions to perform.Which of the following is the best suggested title?A. Computers and ManagementB. Computer and Working EfficiencyC. Computer FunctionsD. Employment Benefits by a Computer

Our fears of public speaking result not only from what we do not know or understand about public communication but also from misconceptions (误解) and myths (错误观念) about public interactions.Perhaps the most popular myth about public communication is that it is a “special” activity reserved for unusual occasions. After all, how often do you make a public speech? There are only a few special occasions during the year when an outgoing professional person will step onto a platform to give a public speech, and many professional people can count on one hand the number of speeches given in the career.This argument, of course, ignores the true nature of public communication and the nature of the occasions in which it occurs. When we engage with people we do not know well to solve problems, share understanding and opinions, advocate points of view, or seek stimulation, we are engaged in public speaking. Public communication is a familiar, daily activity that occurs in the streets, in restaurants, classrooms, parks, offices, factories and meetings.A related misconception about public communication is the belief that the public speaker is a specially gifted individual. While most professional people would reject the idea that public speakers are born, not made, they nevertheless often feel that she effective public communicator has developed unusual personal talents to a remarkable degree. At the heart of this misconception - like the myth of public speaking as a “special” activity - is an overly narrow view of what a public person is and does.Development as an effective public communicator begins with the understanding that you need not be a nationally-known speaker to be a competent (合格的) public person. The public speaker is an ordinary person who faces the necessity of being a public person.Once we understand what public interactions assume and demand, once we unburden ourselves of the myth about public speaking, we can properly begin to develop as competent public communicators.(1) 单选题What is the main topic of the passage?A Special occasions of public speaking.B Steps for public speaking.C Fears of public speaking.D Wrong ideas about public speaking.(2) 单选题According to the author, what is the nature of public speaking?A It is a normal activity where people interact with each other.B It is a special activity under special circumstances.C It is a rare opportunity even for a professional person.D It is an activity reserved for an outgoing professional person.

People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man’s release of completely new and often artificial (人造)substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance (物质), such as oil from oil tankers into the sea. Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up there or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal (处理)of the products we use in our daily lives.Much of the pollution could be controlled if only ______.A. people would pay more attention to the problemB. governments would take effective measuresC. all sides concerned would make more effortsD. farmers would use less artificial fertilizers

阅读理解Waste. It's something we're often told not to do.At home, parents tell us not to waste food. In the classroom, teachers tell us not to waste time. On a sports team, coaches tell us not to waste energy. People who don't want to hear our ideas, tell us not to "waste our breath". Whether it's food, time, energy or breath—waste is a loss of something valuable. Waste happens because we use too much of a material or because we don't use it well.We often use "waste" in agreement. If we're unhappy with someone, we can say: "Don't waste my time." If we're really angry with someone, we can say, "You are a waste of space." And if you're not happy with the result of something you've done, you can say, "Well, that was a complete waste of time." If someone is very sick or is losing a lot of weight, we can say he is "wasting away". And if someone has too much time and cannot control his words and actions, we can say he is "wasted".We also find it in some useful expressions. "Haste makes waste." means if you do something in a hurry, you may make mistakes. And it takes more time and efforts to fix mistakes.(1)When we use something too much or don't use it well, it means we ________ it.A.cost B.afford C.disappoint D.waste(2)What can you say when you're really angry with somebody?A.Don't waste our time.B.You are a waste of space.C.That was a complete waste of time.D.You are wasting away.(3)What will happen if we do something in a hurry according to the last paragraph?A.We may waste space.B.We may waste money.C.We may make mistakes.D.We may fix our mistakes.It was a beautiful sunny spring day. I'd just finished driving my daughter to the airport to catch an early flight. My sons and I then went for breakfast. After eating we'd like to return home.The restaurant was on a hill. At the foot of the hill was a stop sign, so we had to wait behind a long line of traffic while the cars at the foot turned onto the main road one by one. As I looked down, I saw an elderly man standing by the sign. His clothes were old and he held a sign with the words. "Need Help Please!" written on it. My heart went out to him and I imagined myself in his situation. As car after car turned onto the road without stopping for him, I reached for my wallet to look for the money. Just then l saw a young lady walk up to him along the side of the road. She was carrying a bag full of food from the restaurant. I watched as the old man thanked her and smiled.Suddenly there was a loud noise from the car behind me. It made me realize that I hadn't been moving forward, because this simple choice for kindness had caught my attention and my heart so much. By the time I reached the sign, both the man and the lady had gone. Yet, as I drove home, the sun seemed to shine even brighter.A choice is such a powerful thing. It can touch a heart and change one's life. Each day we are given a thousand choices. May you make all of yours for kindness. May you make your whole life a choice for love and joy.(1)How did the writer go to the restaurant?A.By plane. B.On foot. C.By car. D.By bus.(2)Who helped the elderly man at last?A.The writer. B.A young lady. C.A man driver. D.A policeman.(3)Which of the following is TRUE?A.The writer's daughter set out on a sunny spring morning.B.The whole family had breakfast at a restaurant on a hill.C.It was not crowded from the top to the foot of the hill.D.The young woman drove her car in front of the writer's.Sunny English ClubFor: Students in the universityTime: 3: 00 p.m.—5:00 p.m. every Wednesday and FridayPrice: ￥200 a monthActivities: Talking to foreign teachers, singing English songs, watching English movies, having English parties and more.Volunteer ProjectMaybe you want to help others but don't know how to do.

B.￥25. C.￥50. D.￥75.Don't you love it when you have a bit of free time? After school or work, during the weekends, or even in your lunch break, it's great to get a little time for yourself. In general, "free time" is a luxury; it's "free" time because it's time spent not working, studying, or running. To be honest, the beauty of free time is that you don't have to do anything; you can be free to choose what you want to do. When I have free time, I love to go for a run, draw and watch some of my favorite TV plays.I've just had a whole month of free time at home with my parents. I finished working as a teacher at the end of April, and I was just about to start a new job in a publishing company. However, this month was not all that I thought it would be. Before I came home. I had plans to get healthier, do more about art, read more and so on. And guess what...NONE of it happened. I was lazy, I watched TV all day and I ate too much chocolate.I've discovered that when you have too much free time, it just turns into "time", and trying to pass that time becomes boring. It becomes much more difficult to make yourself do interesting things. It's a strange thing, but I think it's the same for most people. When you only have a little lit of free time, it becomes more valuable, and you can use it well. But when you have too much free time, you simply waste it.(1)When the writer has free time, he likes to ________.A.go shopping and runB. play basketball and drawC.sing, dance and watch TVD.run, draw and watch TV plays(2)What does the underlined word "luxury" mean?A.Free thing. B.Cheap thing. C.heap thing. D.Useful thing.(3)Where was the writer going to work after working as a teacher?A.In a shop. B.In a company. C.In a factory. D.Just at home.(4)When is the free time valuable?A.When you have a little free time.B.When you have much free time.C.When you have a long vacation.D. When you have many plans.(5)What is the best title for the passage?A.Free time make me happyB.I love to have free timeC.Too much free time is boringD.Have plans for your free time阅读短文,并按照要求完成下面的小题。Feeling Sad? Hug a Tree!To stay safe during COVID-19, we've had to give up many things we enjoy, including physical touch with others. Gone are handshakes, kisses and hugs.A survey shows that humans need physical touch to stay healthy. Without it, many of us become lonely, sad and even sick. So, if you feel you need a hug, we know something you can safely put your arms around and hold close: A tree!Tree hugging may sound a little strange. But humans have practiced forms of nature therapy(疗法)for years. The Japanese Shinrin-Yoku is an example. It means forest bath in Japanese. But no soap or water is needed for it. All that is spending time in nature: listening to its sound, breathing in its smell, connecting to its life force.Recently, Israel has been improving tree hugging on social media. The manager of a park said, "In this unpleasant special period, we advise people around the world to go out to nature, take a deep breath, hug a tree, express your love and get love." Inside the park. some visitors followed the advice and hugged trees. One of them said. "The most basic human need is connection(联系), touching and hugging. We aren't hugging many people these days. Hugging a tree is a quite nice thing to do."Iceland's Forest Service started a similar activity in April. They advised everyone in the country to hug a tree for at least five minutes every day. The officers also cleared ways in the forests so that visitors could socially distance while they searched for that special tree. "There are plenty of trees," said a worker, "no need for everyone to hug the same tree."(1)题完成句子;(2)、(3)题简略回答问题;(4)题找出并写下第四段的主题句;(5)题将文中画线句子译成汉语。 (1)To keep healthy, people have to give up ________ touch like handshakes, kisses and hugs during COVID-19.

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.

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.

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
