21．（6分）In his book The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference, the Canadian author Malcolm Gladwell explains how a trend can take many forms. It can be a general change in social behaviour, an idea or a fashion. However, why do some trends catch on and others not? What makes one particular brand of training shoes suddenly become the must-have product? How do people find out about trends and what makes people want to buy into them? Is it simply a question of keeping up with other people?In his new work, Gladwell explore the moment when something becomes common and how products, ideas, messages and forms of behaviour spread. He looks at the reasons why trends are similar in the way they develop to outbreaks of disease, or medical epidemics （流行病）.Epidemics, like trends, start in a very small way, maybe from a single person with a virus’ then spread very quickly until they take over the population and appear to be everywhere. Eventually, they will slow down gradually or die out suddenly. Gladwell shows how these changes happen not gradually but at one sudden moment.Gladwell identifies three types of people who are influential in the development of these kinds of social epidemics: Connectors are people in a community who have wide social circles. They know a lot of people and like to introduce people to each other. The people they know often come from a variety of social, cultural, professional and economic circles.Mavens are people with a lot of knowledge or experts in a particular field. They wish to pass on their knowledge to others. Mavens collect and gather information so are the first to pick up on new trends.Salesmen are people with charisma（魅力）. They have a “soft” i nfluence over people rather than actual power. This means they are influential because people want to imitate them.Overall, Gladwell’s book is a thought-provoking（引人深思的）read for anyone interested in the origins of trends. What’s more, he writes in a clear style so even the most difficult ideas are easy to understand.1、What do we know about Gladwell?A．He is a productive North American writer.B．He has written many books on the subject of trends.C．He thinks trends develop in the same way as illnesses.D．He believes there are three types of people in the world.2、According to the text, connectors .A．are very social personsB．often follow othersC．know many people from the same circleD．are knowledgeable and experienced3、What do we learn from the text?A．Salesmen try to control other people using their power.B．Mavens quickly become aware of changes in fashions.C．Connectors and Mavens try to get their information across.D．Gladwell’s book is interesting but hard to understand for readers.22．（8分）Thousand of students, from all around the world, have helped their international careers by taking EIS English studies at South Thames College London – STCL.You too can take our first-class EIS courses to learn, and live English in London @ STCL.1.

Bags, coats and devices(设备) that light up, including watches and mobile phones, are kept in the bar. Placing your hand on the shoulder of your guide, you are led to a table in a black dining room that sets up to 60 people. And it is dark.The waiters tell you when the food is being placed down in front of you, then the fun begins, trying to get food into your mouth, then identifying just what it is that’s on your plate, and finally whether you have missed any of it.It’s also a great chance to break social convention and eat using your fingers. Those same fingers are also the only way you can tell how much wine you’re pouring into your glass.The happy atmosphere in the dining room also made the night memorable. You can’t really avoid talking to the person next to you at the long tables and guessing what the dishes are certainly provides adequate fuel for the conversations.All will be revealed at the end of the meal when you are led back out into the lit bar. Not only do you finally get to see what you’ve just been eating but also who you’ve been talking to for the la st 90 minutes.1、What does the underlined word “intriguing.” in the first paragraph mean?A．Terrible.
