One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,”the girl shouted.“He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty andalmost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’s horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night.“I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,”Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony,“Joe will write about her in his story,”she said.But she did say one thing: “If Flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”11.Jack Billabong did not turn back because _________.[A]he hadn’t found the bull yet[B]he smelt a heavy smoke in the forest[C]he knew there was a burnt man there[D]he saw something moving towards him12.Why was the ride back to Borrogee terrible?[E]Because Joe was tired out.[F]Because the ride started late at night.[G]Because they didn’t have enough courage.[H]Because both Cathy and her pony were exhausted.13.Cathy refused to talk to reporters about the pony when she was in Borrogee Hospital because _________.[I]she didn’t know what to say[J]Jack asked her not to talk to them[K]she was too weak to say anything[L]Joe would write about it in his writing14.What does the word“Flame”in the last paragraph refer to?[A]Jack. [B] The pony. [C] Jack’s horse. [D] The fire.15.Which of the following is the best title of the story?[M]Rescue of Joe Brook[N]Courage of Jack Billabong[O]Love of a Young Girl[P]Heroism of a Lovely PonyPassage TwoThe faces of elderly, happily-married people sometimes resemble each other. Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographs —one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgments were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,”he says,“is the common experience of the couples.”There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.16.Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of _________.[A]imitating the couples’ life[B]grouping the couples again[C]leaving no trace for the testees[D]giving the testees more chances17.The underlined sentence “Their judgments were no better than chance.”implies that the testees _________.[A]did a good job in making their choices[B]had difficulty in picking out the partners[C]had no chance to make the right judgments[D]did better with the first group than with the second18.The underlined word“imitate”(in Para. 2) has a similar meaning to _________.[A]copy [B] change [C] know [D] suffer19.From the passage we can draw the conclusion that _________.[A]couples who look alike can live longer[B]most partners have been proved to grow alike[C]the influence between partners can be quite strong[D]happily-married couples are often richer than others20.The main purpose of the passage is to _________.[A]explain why couples grow alike[B]tell how couples like each other[C]discuss the function of marriage[D]describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1)“The check is in the mail”,(2)“Of course I’ll respect you in the morning”,and (3)“It was a computer error”.Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say,”It was a computer error.”Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation:“It was a compute error.”It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Code —chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package —and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day —that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow“a computer error”is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge,modern computers are electric brain with“artificial intelligence”.At some point there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more intelligent than your average pen. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.21.Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself_________.[A]says nonsense[B]cheats customers[C]cannot make the error[D]does not admit its error22.According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just _________.[A]a machine to count money[B]a machine to receive money[C]an instrument to print codes[D]an instrument to read codes23.Grocery store price lists are updated by _________.[A]a computer[B]a keyboard[C]an employee[D]an electric brain24.The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers _________.[A]are very clever[B]never make mistakes[C]have a good memory[D]are controlled by men25.Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?[A]Computers are stupid and inefficient.[B]Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.[C]Computers help stores update the price list.[D]Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time.His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.26.Nowadays the commercial services in the village are _________.[A]still very active[B]quickly declining[C]unable to flourish[D]personal to visitors27.The local grocer’s shop is expanding because _________.[A]the competition there is weak[B]it is a place for women to chat[C]it provides good personal service[D]the goods there are more valuable28.Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?[A]Prices there are much higher.[B]Customers often have to queue up.[C]Customers can order by telephone.[D]Their personal services are satisfactory.29.How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about giving extra service?[A]They don’t think it a trouble.[B]They don’t think it worthwhile.[C]They don’t consider it a good deal.[D]They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.30.One special feature of the village shop is that _________.[A]there is a very wide range of goods available[B]customers can order goods by word of mouth[C]customers have to order goods one hour earlier[D]there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20minutes 20points)Directions:There are 20 incomplete sentences in this part.

However, its impact on mental health has raised concerns among researchers and experts. This essay will argue that social media can have detrimental effects on young people's mental health due to the constant comparison to others, the spread of misinformation, and the risk of cyberbullying.Firstly, social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram encourage users to create a curated version of their lives, showcasing only the positive aspects while hiding the struggles and challenges they face. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem among young people who compare their own lives to the seemingly perfect ones portrayed on social media. In a world where likes and followers equate topopularity and success, many young people feel pressured to conform to unrealistic standards set by influencers and celebrities on social media.Secondly, the spread of misinformation and fake news on social media can have serious consequences for young people's mental well-being. With the rise of fake news websites and clickbait headlines, it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between fact and fiction online. This can lead to confusion and anxiety among young people who are constantly bombarded with conflicting information, further exacerbating feelings of uncertainty and distrust in the digital world.Lastly, the anonymity and distance provided by social media can make it easier for individuals to engage in cyberbullying and harassment. Young people are particularly vulnerable to online bullying, which can have long-lasting effects on their mental health. The constant fear of being judged or humiliated online can lead to anxiety and depression among young people, ultimately impacting their social and emotional well-being.In conclusion, social media can have harmful effects on young people's mental health. The constant comparison to others, the spread of misinformation, and the risk of cyberbullying are just a few examples of how social media cannegatively impact young people's well-being. It is important for parents, educators, and policymakers to address these issues and promote a healthy and balanced relationship with social media among young people.Overall, the National 2023 Degree English Exam will test your reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and writing skills.

Each passage is followed by fivequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,Cand D, choose the best and mark your answer on the ANSEWR SHEET.Passage OneHave you ever heard of a pawpaw(木瓜) If not, do not feel bad. Many Americans donot know of the fruit, although it is native to the U.S..Once, however, it was one ofthe most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are tryingto return it to its former position in American foods.A pawpaw is a tropical fruit that used to be grown along the East Coast from NewYork to Florida and all over the eastern U.S..At one time, it could be found as farwest as Nebraska.The pawpaw was an important food for Native Americans and even early Europeansettlers. Pawpaws reportedly were a favorite treat of George Washington, the first U.S.president, who especially liked them cold. Thomas Jefferson, the third U.S. president,was also s fan of the fruit. He planted papaws at his home in Virginia. He also sentpawpaw seeds to his friends in France, American explorers Lewis and Clark wrote in theirjournals about the pawpaw.The pawpaw is difficult to be sold commercially. The fruit requires a very specialenvironment---low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season,from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good toeat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywheredistant from the pawpaw tree it comes from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several statesfarmers have organized “pawpaw festivals” to reintroduce people to food. At such afestival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws,like pawpaw jams, pies, ice-cream and beer.50. Many American people do not know that the pawpaw _____A. Was once popular in the U.S.B. Is native to the U.S. onlyC. Has become popular againD. Is a healthy fruit51. The pawpaw used to be found mainly _____A. Around NebraskaB. In the eastern U.S.C. All over FloridaD. In New York suburbs52. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson are mentioned in paragraph 3 as _____A. American explorersB. Famous politiciansC. Early pawpaw plantersD. Pawpaw lovers53. It is difficult to sell the pawpaw on a large scale for the following reasonsEXCPEPT that the fruit _____A. Requires a very special environmentB. Has a very short harvest seasonC. Does not taste goodD. Is difficult to preserve after harvesting54. Pawpaw festivals are organized in some states _____A. As a way of celebrating harvestB. As part of the traditional cultureC. To display pawpaw growing techniquesD. To reintroduce people to the fruitPassage FourOnline dating has just been revealed to be one of the most common ways to starta relationship. But new research reveals that the concept is still highly flawed(有缺陷的).An analysis of 400 studies into online dating shows that while it offers accessto plenty of other singles, users can be overwhelmed and put off by the volume of choice,defeating the purpose.The research, by Northwestern University and published in the journal PsychologicalScience in the public interest, found that the processes involved don’t lend themselvesto forming strong relationships. The findings also indicated that the concept of anonline profile(介绍) is not entirely useful and “can result in treating potentialpartners as mere objects”.Lead author Eli J Finkel explained: “Online dating is a terrific addition forsingles to meet. However, there are two problems.” First, studying over seeminglyendless lists of profiles of people one does not know, as on , does not revealmuch about them. Second, it “overloads people and they end up shutting down,” he said.He compared it to shopping at “supermarkets of love” and said psychologicalresearch shows people presented with too many choices tend to make lazy and often poordecisions.The study’s authors also questioned the algorithms(算法) employed by sites suchas to match people based on their interests or personality—comparing itto having a real estate agent of love. While the algorithm may reduce the number ofpotential partners from thousands to a few, they may be as unsuitable for each otheras two people meeting at random, Dr Finkel explained, adding the chances are no betterthan finding a relationship by walking into any bar. “There’s no better way to figureout whether you’re a match with somebody than talking to them over a coffee or beer,”Dr Finkel said.55. What is the author’s attitude towards online datingA. NegativeB. PositiveC. IndifferentD. Neutral56. According to Paragraph 2, online dating _____A. Attracts a limited number of singlesB. Has been widely studied recentlyC. Is criticized as lacking a purposeD. Offers too many choice57. The phrase “lend themselves to”(Para.3) probably means _____A. Be opposed toB. Be easily used forC. Be happy withD. Be consistent with58. Why is Dr. Finkel mentioned in the passageA. He is the lead researcher of the study on online datingB. He is a well-know professor at Northwestern UniversityC. He is an expert in analyzing people’s shopping patternsD. He is the president of a famous online matching website59. According to Dr Finkel, what is the best way to find a matchA. An evaluation on the basis of interests and personality.B. An analysis based on proper computer algorithmsC. A comparison with other potential partnersD. A face-to-face talk with the potential partnerPassage ThreeWhen jack Davis, 9, looks up at the night sky, he doesn’t see just the stars. Hesees his future. The fourth grader from New Jersey has a deep interest in outer spaceand the alien(外星的) beings he thinks might live there.In July, Jack heard that NASA was looking for a new planetary protection officerand decided he was the right person for the job. The position, which focuses onpreventing astronauts from accidentally bringing extremely small, potentiallydangerous alien life-forms back to Earth and ensuring that astronauts do not takeEarth-based germs with them into space, pays from $124,406 to $187,000 per year.Jack wrote a letter to NASA, noting his qualifications for the job. “My sistersays I am an alien,” Jack wrote, pointing out that since he is young, he can “learnto think like an alien.” He signed the letter “Jack Davis, Guardian of the Galaxy.”Within days, Jack received a personal letter from NASA’s planetary science director,James L. Green. “We are always looking for bright future scientists and engineers tohelp us,” Green wrote.”I hope you will study hard and do well in school. We hope tosee you here at NASA one of these days!”Jack said he was “shocked” when Green’s response arrived. “I shouted, I gota letter from NASA!”Green says he loves to answer letters from children. He calls his response a“gravity assist.” Spacecraft use gravity assistance from objects like planets andmoons to help power the craft toward another celestial(天上的) body. Green hopes a replycan influence a person’s path in life in a similar way.60. Which of the following can best describe Jack DavisA. MatureB. Curious.C. Talented.D. Honest61. What is the job responsibility of the planetary protection officerA. To ensure the mental and physical health of the astronautsB. To protect Earth from possible alien attacks in the futureC. To keep harmful substances form spreading between Earth and outer space.D. To study the unknown substances astronauts brought back to Earth62. In this letter, Jack explains that his strength lies in his _____A. PersonalityB. AppearanceC. HobbyD. Age63. In his response to the boy, James Green _____.A. Encourages Jack to be a future NASA scientistB. Invites Jack to visit NASA as soon as possibleC. Tells Jack NASA’s requireme nts for scientistsD. Offers to provide training for Jack at NASA64. In the last paragraph, the author intends to _____.A. Support Green for using gravity assist in projects.B. Introduce the concept of gravity assistC. Guide young people by giving them a gravity assistD. Explain how Green’s letter serves as a gravity assistPassage TwoThroughout history, humans have suffered from a condition that they have never beenable to escape—ageing. Some researchers, however, believe we may be thinking aboutit in the wrong way. They say we should start treating ageing itself as a disease—one that can be prevented and treated.Their hopes are founded on recent discoveries that suggest biological ageing maybe entirely preventable and treatable. From a biological preventive, the body ages atdifferent rates according to genetic and environmental factors. Tiny errors build upin our DNA and our cells begin developing faults that can grow into tissue damage, whichleads to ageing and ageing—related diseases.One of the leading figures in human life research, Aubrey De Grey, explains in aninterview that their goal is to develop a set of therapies for middle-aged and olderpeople that will leave them physically and mentally equivalent(相当的) to someone underthe age of 30. “Of course, without wiping their memories,” he adds. But he doesn’t think that is will be possible to stop ageing altogether. He sees a future where“rejuvenation technologies” can be applied to old people in order to revert theircells to what they were like when they were in their youth, buying them extra time.The idea is that someone who is treated at the age of 60 will be biologically revertedto 30. But because the therapies are not permanent fixes. Their cells will end upbecoming 60 years old again in another 30 years time.65. By “treating ageing itself as a disease”, some researchers mean _____A. Aged people are liable to diseasesB. Ageing can be dealt with like a diseaseC. Ageing is a disease hard to cureD. Ageing should be treated carefully66. Humans age at different rates due to _____ reasons.A. PhysicalB. BiologicalC. Genetic and environmentalD. DNA and cell-related67. The goal of De Grey’s research is to _____.A. Freeze people’s ageB. Make people youngerC. Stop ageing altogetherD. Adjust people’s memories68. Wha t does “rejuvenation” (para.3) possibly meanA. Relating to cellsB. Relating to genes.C. Becoming healthy.D. Becoming young.69. What will happen if someone is treated with De Grey’s technologyA. He will stay young for a longer timeB. He will no longer grow old.C. He will live up to at least 60 years old.D. He will not get ageing-related diseases.Part I Dialogue completion (15 points)Directions: there are 15 short incomplete dialogues in this part, each followedby four choices marked A, B, C and D, choose the one that best completes the dialogueand mark your answer on the ANSEWR SHEET.70.

Each passage is followed by fivequestions or unfinished statements.For each ofthem there are four choicesmarked A, B C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on theANS H ER SHEET.Passage OneBig data can be defined as information that is too big or complex to be containedor processed by any one machine or person.AsastudentattheUniversity of Sussex, Julian Dailly had two majors –English and philosophy. When he completed his studies, Dailly wondered how he would everearn a living in a world filled with machines and technology. Now, he is part of the big data industry that includes Google andFacebook.Dailly's research company,Morar Consulting,started three years ago with fiveemployees.The company's earnings have increased by 25 % each year.It now employs90 people."What we do here is we try to discover what's meaningful for people and Linkthattotheireconomicbehavio r,” Daillysaid.He noted the importance of working with people with different skills."We havepeople from traditional research backgrounds,in addition to some in social sciences,economics,people from tech backgrounds,and sales people," Dailly said.Companies like Dailly's employ recent college graduates.Theindustry profitsfrom the ideas ofthese young men and women. New forms ofdata also make it possiblefor some observers to predict the future. They are more valuable to companies than thetraditional forms ofdata recording or reporting."We have access to the core information inside people's heads," Dailly said."Theytell you what people are going to do as opposed to what they've done. That helps peopletake proper action in advance. This makes it much more useful for strategy."Julian Dailly dismisses concerns that computers have finally taken control ofourdaily lives. "Some may worry that humans will be allowed to be replaced by machines.Ithink it's a fantasy."16.Dailly has an educationbackground of ______.A.engineeringB.artsC. sciencesD.business17.Dailly'scompany focuses on businesses in ______.A. marketing strategyB.machinesellingC. staff trainingD.bigdataresearch18.The company's staffis characterized by all the following EXCEPT ______.A.freshideasB.youngageC. mixed education backgroundsD. rich experience in the field19.The company is aimed at making use of the information to help people ______.A.take predictive actionB.rememberthepastC. learn fromeachotherD.stick to the tradition20.According to Dailly, the idea that humans may be replaced by machines ______.A.isawisewarningB.ispureimaginationC.maycometrueD.needsfurtherstudyPassage TwoA new record for the oldest woman to run a marathon has been set, but it may notstand for more than a year Hariette Thompson, 92, said that she hasn't ruled outrunning the Rock'n' Roll Marathon in San Diego again next year. Hariette finished in7 hours, 24 minutes, 36 seconds, the BBC reports, coming close to the over-90 record of7 hours, 7 minutes, and 42 seconds she set in 2014, despite having a very difficult yearbetween marathons."I couldn't train very well because my husband was very ill and Ihad to be with him for some time, and then when he died in January Ihad sometreatments on my leg," Thompson, who was in her 70s when she ran her first marathon, Tellsthe AP."Iwasjust really thrilled that I could finish today.At 92 years and 65 days old, Thompson is 46 days older than Gladys Burrill waswhen Burill finished the 2010 Honolulu Marathon.“I can't believeI made it,”Thompson tells the Charlotte Observer. "I was really tired at one point. Around Mile 2 1,Iwas going upa hill and itwas likeamountain,and Iwas thinking,'This issortofcrazy at my age. Ican't do it'. But thenI felt better coming down the hill. And mysonBrennykeptfeedingmeallthesewonder (碳水化合物)thatkeptmegoing.”Thompson—whoseparents,threebrothers,andhusbandalldied of cancer-tells the Observerthat the San Diego marathon's fundraising for the Leukemia(白血病) Society is what inspired her to run and may even bring her back again nextyear.21.What does Thompson say about the San Diego marathon next year?A.ShemaynotbeabletobethereB.Shehasn'tthoughtaboutitC.

Thepavements are stained with chewing gum and the ditches are full of discarded fast foodpackets. Years ago Iremember traveling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bagsand discarded bottles.Nowadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gonewrong?The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lotlonger than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in theundergrowth(下层灌木) foryears.It is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These willtake anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot However, it is not as it there is no solutionto this. A few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrierbags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, MichaelMeacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industryprotested, ofcourse. However, they need not have bothered; the idea was killed before itcoulddrawbreath,leavingsupermarkets free to give away plastic bags.What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined action, bothindividual and collective,before it is too late.The alternative is to continue slidingdownhill untilwehaveacountrythatlooks like a vast rubbishtip. Wemaywellbeatthetippingpoint.Yetweknowthatpeoplerespondtotheirenvironment.Ifthings around them are clean and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surroundedby rubbish,they behave like rubbish.Now,much of Britain looks pretty dirty.Whatwill it look like in five years?26.What might be the best title for the passage?A.PlasticBagsB.Environment ProtectionD.RubbishDisposal C.DirtyBritain27.Theplasticsindustryin Britain protested because ______.A.a tax was proposed on non-recyclable carrier bagsB.supermarkets no longer gave away plastic bagsC.theywereblamedforcausingplasticpollutionD. the government did not support them28.The expression "sliding downhill" (Para.4) probably means"______”A.working hard to reduce rubbishB.producing more plastic bagsC.encouraging people to use plastic bagsD. making things worse by taking no action29.Which ofthe following best describes the author's outlook on the environment?A. Optimistic.B.Confused.C. Concerned.D.Indifferent.30.The purpose of the article is to ______.A.encourage the public to take action against rubbishB.discourage people from supporting the plastics industryC.call on the government to protect the environmentD. encourage supermarkets to give away recyclable bagsPassage FourThosewhoworkintheNetherlandsoftenfeel thatalotoftimeiswastedindiscussions that lead to nothing. There are often meetings with documents, an agenda, and a chairman.All those present will have their say,after which their remarks arediscussed.He who decides to skip a meeting though he has nothing more urgent to attend to,will find itunwise.The interacting that takes place during a meeting is very importantfor the general process. He who does not appear is saying that he does not think the subject is sufficiently important,or that he apparently does not take his colleaguesseriously.Furthermore,he might miss some of the essential information that maybecome evident during the meeting.Those who are present show an interest in theproblems of their colleagues. They supply questions, rather than commands, and thusdeclare themselves"co-responsibl e”. The Dutch,in their final conclusions,like to usesuch metaphors a s"We are all in one line" or “Our noses are pointing in the samedirection again.”If you present a decision, you will find that everyone has something to say about itand has questions to ask. This is why the Dutch will not be quick to present somethingastheonly correctsolution.Theadvantagetothisapproach isthat such ameeting willoften lead to genuine suggestions for improvement on certain aspects of a plan. As aresult, the plan will be ajoint approach.This time-consuming and seemingly useless process helps colleagues become ateam. The amount oftime that is lost around the table is more than what made up forinefficiency,onceeveryone goes back to work.Statistics show Dutch employees areamong the world leaders when it comes to work productivity.31.According to Paragraph 1, meetings in Dutch companies seem to ______.A.beheldusuallyforimportantissueB.waste a lot oftimein fruitless discussionC.enable employees to know each other betterD. be good occasions for employees to show their talent32.To Dutch employees, one who is absent from a meeting ______.A.doesnottakehiscolleaguesseriousB.may have something more urgentto doC.does not miss much critical informationD.may have nothing to say at the meeting33.According to Paragraph 3,why can't Dutch employees come to a quick decision?A.People are constantly in dispute.B.An idea usually undergoes a full discussion.C.Suggestions often lead nowhere.D.People often forget the aims ofmeetings.34.What does the last paragraph tell us?A.Many leaders in the world are Dutch.B.Dutch employees are highly productive.C.Dutchcompaniesare the most successful in the world.D.Dutchemployeesworkhardest intheworld.35.The author's attitude towards the Dutch meeting is quiteA. unclearB.negativeC. positiveD.neutralPart II Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the Centre of the letter that indicates your choice.Passage 1In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, the mistakes are secondary consideration that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying “I do it” to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, byinteracting with native speakers of English, observethat native speakers actually say “I‘ll do it”. The resulting discrepancy差异can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.11. According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes because ______.A. native speakers will ignore their mistakesB. communication is the primary goal of language learningC. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their languageD. everyone makes mistakes when trying to communicate ina strange language12. The passage indicates that the present tense in English is ________.A. basically the same in English as it is in SpanishB. not the most difficult problem for foreign studentsC. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureD. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intention13. The author thinks that language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by ______A. asking native speakers for explanationsB. reading good books in the foreign languageC. speaking without regard to native speakersD. comparing their speech with that of native speakers14. The passage implies that foreign students who do notinteract with native speakers will not __.A. have to worry about making mistakesB. learn very much about the foreign cultureC. learn about the history of the foreign languageD. take advantage of available language models15. The author’s major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that ______.A. mistakes do not interfere with communicationB. learners are often very afraid of making mistakesC. mistakes are not important in the process of learning a languageD. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the language Passage 2Death Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place "Tomesha" the land of fire. Death Valley’s pres ent name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness, and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a NationalMonument and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves thesand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil' s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures stand on a frightening ground, as evenings shadows move and lengthen.16. ____ is the lowest place in the desert.A. TomeshaB. Death ValleyC. NevadaD. Badwater17. The name of the valley comes from ___.A. an Indian nameB. the death of the minersC. the local peopleD. a National Monument18. From the passage we can learn that _______.A. no one had ever known the desert before the minersB. it’s still not easy to travel across the desertC. people can find gas-stations, cafes and hotels in the desertD. people have changed the natural sight of the desert19. Devil’s Golf Course is famous for _______.A. the frequent windB. the colors of the sandC. dream-like sightsD. the sand sculptures20. From the passage we can see that the writer______ the Death Valley.A. appreciatesB. is fearful ofC. dislikesD. is tired ofPassage 3In Western culture, an engagement begins with "yes" to a simple question: "Will you marry me?" These heart-stopping words often come with a beautiful diamond ring. The man making the proposal may get down on one knee. In fact, men have relied on this simple, romantic method of proposing marriage for years.Today, this is no longer true for everyone. Consider how Justin Firestone proposed to Natalie Abreu. The couple took a helicopter tour over the black sands of Honomanu Bay, Hawaii. Suddenly Abreu saw "Will you marry me, Natalie?" spelled out below with coconuts. Her answer was an astonished "Yes!”Firestone’s proposal took weeks of planning and help from a professional. But for men like him, the effort put into the proposal was worth it. Many guys want to show how serious they are about marriage through an impressive proposal. Some even want to give their future brides something to brag about.Public proposals -at sports games, concerts and other events- are common. But some men don‘t settle for their proposal scrolling across a big screen before thousands. Millions saw Joe Uva’s proposal on a reality TV show. His girlfriend, Laura O'Donnell, walked into an office and saw friends and family holding flowers. With the cameras rolling, Uva walked out from among them to propose. O'Donnell said yes, to the relief of Uva and his audience.Other men have chosen proposals that reflect the couple’s u nique relationship. Such proposals take place at a favorite restaurant or involve a shared hobby. Bernie Peng, for example,programs video games, and Tammy Li enjoys playing them. When Peng proposed to Li, he made a small change in her favorite game. When she played it, a ring and marriage proposal appeared. They recently got married!These men were confident they would get the answer they wanted. But that’s not the point: Creative proposals leave memories to be cherished.21. What will men do in a traditional proposal?A. Use beautiful words.B. Buy diamonds in advance.C. Plan it for months.D. Save a lot of money.22. Which of the following statements is true?A. Firestone didn't speak out the proposal.B. Firestone planned the proposal by himself.C. Natalie had expected the proposal on their trip.D. Firestone’s proposal was inexpensive.23. What does "to brag about” (Para.3) prob ably mean?A. To talk about with pride.B. To remember someone.C. To think about seriously.D. To look around carefully.24. Which of the proposals was witnessed by the largest number of people?A. Firestone’s.B. Abreu’s.C. Joe Uva’s.D. Peng’s.25. Wha t is the author’s opinion towards creative proposals?A. They are likely to get positive answers.B. They reveal men’s confidence.C. They are beautiful memories in life.D. They take great courage and wisdom.Passage 4When we're learning a foreign language, making sense of what we hear is the first step toward fluency. It sounds obvious, but until recently, we didn’t know much about how listening works. New research demonstrates that effective listening involves more than simply hearing the words that float past our ears. Rather, it’s an active process of receiving information and making meaning. This kind of engaged listening is a skill that’s as critical for learning a range of subjects at school and work as it is for learning to understand a foreign tongue.Studies of skilled language learners have identified specific listening strategiesthat lead to superior comprehension. Last year, for example, University of Ottawa researcher Larry Vandergrift published his study of 106 undergraduates who were learning French as a second language. Half of the students were taught in a conventional fashion, listening to and practicing texts spoken aloud. The other half, possessing the same initial skill level and taught by the same teacher, were give detailed instruction on how to listen. It turned out that the second group "significantly outperformed" the first one on a test of comprehension.So what are these listening strategies? Skilled learners go into a listening class with a sense of what they want to get of it. They set a goal for their listening, and they generate predictions about what the speaker will say. Before the talking begins they mentally review what they already know about the subject, and form an intention to "listen out for" what’s important orrelevant. Once they begin listening, these learners maintain their focus; if their attention wanders, they bring it back to the words being spoken. They don't allow themselves to be thrown off by confusing or unfamiliar details. Instead, they take note of what they don' t understand and make inferences about what those thing might mean, based on other clues available to them; their previous knowledge of the subject, the context of the talk, the identity of the speaker, and so on.26. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Effective listening means hearing the words that float past our ears.B. Developing your listening skills is the first step toward developing fluency.C. Skilled listeners use specific strategies to get the most out of what they hear.D. Listening is one of the most powerful tools we have to gain information.27. What does Vandergrift’s research show?A. Learners who adopt specific listening strategies become better listeners.B. Learners taught in the traditional way are better at reinforcing what they learn.C. Learners are more confident if they make fewer mistakes.D. Learners who listen on a regular basis improve faster.28. Which of the following statements about Vandergrift' s research is TRUE?A. The participants were postgraduates learning French as a second language.B. All the participants were taught using the conventional method, with the focus on listening strategies.C. The two groups were taught by different teacher.D. The participants were at the same initial skill level.29. The expression "thrown off" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to "_____".A. infectedB. confusedC. ruinedD. informed30. According to the passage, which of the following strategies is NOT used by skilled learners?A. Review their prior knowledge of the subje ct.B. Concentrate on the speaker’swords.C. Translate into their native language.D. Predict what the speaker will way.Part Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section.

You're sitti ng at the dinner table with a furry,four-legged friend scratchi ng at your feet. When you look dow n, those cute eyes are almost impossible to resist.What is it about a dog's gaze that makes it so charming? A new study by Japanese scie ntist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found the an swer, and it has to do with someth ing called the cuddle(爱抚)chemical.The cuddle chemical has ano ther, more scie ntific n ame: oxytoci n. Oxytoci n is a substa nee in the blood that en courages bonding. Levels of oxytoc in in crease, for example, when a mother feeds her newborn baby. According to Nagasawa's study, the same is true whe n we look deeply into the eyes of a dog.The results of this study can tell us a lot about the history of the bond between humans and dogs. It all started somewhere tens of thousands of years ago. Scientists believe that wolves used to follow humans who were hunting large animals. The wolves would eat the food left beh ind by the huma ns.Huma ns realized that they could use the wolves to help with the hunt, and even tually both species bega n to work together toward survival.Over time, the wolves that in teracted with the huma ns bega n to cha nge. They became more loyal to their human partners. The wolves and humans started to dependon each other and bond with each other. These cha nges are what caused some of the wolves to turn into what we nowknow as dogs, a new specie^ evolved to better survive in their en viro nment.This process depe nded a great deal on the bond huma ns formed with them. And accord ing to Nagasawa's study, this bond was formed with the help of oxytoc in, the cuddle chemical.11. What do we know about oxytoci n?A. It regulates blood flow.B. It promotes bonding.C. It is in the huma n gene.D. It is good for health.12. When we look deeply into a dog's eyes, the levels of our oxytoci n __ .A. reduce over timeB. go either up or dow nC. are on the riseD. rema in un cha nged13.

At the 2004 . Trials, Phelps qualified for Athens in six individual events across every possible stroke . He finally earned five titles of Olympic champion.Should Phelps match Mark Spitz’s record in Athens or Beijing in 2021, he will earn a$1 million bonus from his sponsor. Michael Phelps was born to June 30, 1985. His father was a good athlete, and passed his ability onto his kids.Michael ’s coach told Michaelc ’s mother that her son was a rare with big hands and feet,he took to instruction very well,loved to work hard and never seemednervous is competition. By all accounts, his frame is perfect for a swimmer. His big handsand feet are like paddles in the water. The butterfly is his signature stroke, buthe’s shown the ability to dominate in any event.In 1999,Michael broke a record in the 200-meter butterfly for the 20-year-oldage group at th Junior 15, Michael became the youngest swimmer to compete SydneyOlympics for the68 years.

We might use some kind of test to aid the selectionprocess, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well,has good qualifications and impressive work record.But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest.“This can be a serious problem for empl oyers 〞, explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruiment.“The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half- truths rather than complete lies.〞Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice is omission.Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainy such as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange.“Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasinglydishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort.〞Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique ,but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressureon those who are being less than completely honest.21.The best title of this passage can be ___________.A.How to Catch Out the Dishonest CandidateB.How to Find a Job by TricksC.Disadvantages of Job InterviewsD.Advantages of Job Interviews22.The liars hard to recognize are those who tell___________.A. complete truthsB. complete liesC. partial truthsD. mainly truths23.How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?A.

What is the author’s attitude towards job interviews?A. Most objectiveB. Too subjective.C. SuspiciousD. Credulous.Passage ThreeOur world is wonderful with birds that are absolutely amazing and kind ofsuch birds is the coot—a clumsy bird so unloved that its name implies somethingof an old fool.〞The bird has a remarkable ability to recognize amd count itseggs, 〞 says behavioral ecologist Bruce Lyon of the University of California atSanta Cruz. Coots need to be tricky because of the nunsual way the pete: One coot will put its eggs secretly into another’s nest to trick the host into raising the invad er ’s eggs. But nest owners use their wits to fight back, Lyonfinds.Over four summers, Lyon monitored 400 coot nests near Williams Lake in central British Columbia, tagging the eggs with a marker. Of these , 160 coot nests received eggs from unrelated coots. The hosts generally were not fooled, however,. Abouthalf the time, coot parents rejected the strange eggs completely, usually byburying them deep in the nest.“Foreign eggs were not disappearing by chance---and that can only meanthe birds were recognizing them, 〞Lyon says. Apparently, the coots were alerted by the unfamiliar colors and patterns on the foreign eggs. In other cases, the parents pushed the foreign eggs to an unfavorable positionat the border area of the nest, where there is less heat for hatching.Even if a mother coot didn’t remove the foreign eggs from her nest, she continued to lay a normal hatch number of her own eggs, despite the apparent extra foreign eggs. Lyon thinks that means the coots somehowkept a count of both their own eggs and the suspicious ones. “That coots can distinguish their own eggs from the foreign ones is a rare but very convincing example of counting wild animalworld, 〞 the ecologist concluded.26. The meaning of the bird’s name“coot〞probabl y is __________.A. wonderful and amazingB. unusual and remarkableC. secret and unbelievableD. old and silly27.In the passage, “foreign eggs 〞 refers to _________.A. the eggs of the nest ownersB. the eggs of the invaders eggsfrom foreign countries D. the eggs unable to be hatched28.Which of the following is the particular way coots often compete?A. To steal some eggs from other nests.B. To put their own eggs into others’ nests .C. To hatch other coots’ eggs.D. To protect their own eggs.29.Which would the nest owners do with the foreign eggs according to the passage?Ⅰ. Burying them deep in the nests.Ⅱ. Pushing them aside to an unfavorable area.Ⅲ. Ha tching them as their own.30.Which of the following is the particular ability the ecologist believesthat the coot has?A. To trick other coots.B. To fight back the tricks.C. To be alert to the foreign eggs.D.To recognize and count its own eggs.Passage FourNational Aviation and Space Administration (NASA) and its partners in theInter-national Space Station have agreed in principle to let a 28-year-old South African become the second paying tourist on the orbiting outpost, the U.S. spaceagency said on Tuesday.Internet magnate Mark Shuttleworth signed a contract on with the RussianAviation and Space Agency(RASA) to fly aboard a Soyuz space taxi to the stationin April 2002, almost exactly a year after Dennis Tito became the first toexperience space as a paying guest.NASA spokeswoman Kristen Larson said by telephone: 〞We’ve agreed in principle to the flight of Mr. Shuttleworth.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANS H ER SHEET.Passage OneBig data can be defined as information that is too big or complex to be contained or processed by any one machine or person. As a student at the University of Sussex, Julian Dailly had two majors –English and philosophy. When he completed his studies, Dailly wondered how he would ever earn a living in a world filled with machines and technology. Now, he is part of the big data industry that includes Google and Facebook.Dailly's research company, Morar Consulting, started three years ago with five employees. The company's earnings have increased by 25 % each year. It now employs 90 people. "What we do here is we try to discover what's meaningful for people and Link that to their economic behavior,” Dailly said.He noted the importance of working with people with different skills. "We have people from traditional research backgrounds, in addition to some in social sciences, economics, people from tech backgrounds, and sales people," Dailly said.Companies like Dailly's employ recent college graduates. The industry profits from the ideas of these young men and women. New forms of data also make it possible for some observers to predict the future. They are more valuable to companies than the traditional forms of data recording or reporting."We have access to the core information inside people's heads," Dailly said. "They tell you what people are going to do as opposed to what they've done. That helps people take proper action in advance. This makes it much more useful for strategy." Julian Dailly dismisses concerns that computers have finally taken control of our daily lives. "Some may worry that humans will be allowed to be replaced by machines. I think it's a fantasy."16. Dailly has an education background of ______.A. engineeringB. artsC. sciencesD. business17. Dailly's company focuses on businesses in ______.A. marketing strategyB. machine sellingC. staff trainingD. big data research18. The company's staff is characterized by all the following EXCEPT ______.A. fresh ideasB. young ageC. mixed education backgroundsD. rich experience in the field19. The company is aimed at making use of the information to help people ______.A. take predictive actionB. remember the pastC. learn from each otherD. stick to the tradition20. According to Dailly, the idea that humans may be replaced by machines ______.A.is a wise warningB. is pure imaginationC. may come trueD. needs further studyPassage TwoA new record for the oldest woman to run a marathon has been set, but it may not stand for more than a year Hariette Thompson, 92, said that she hasn't ruled out running the Rock'n' Roll Marathon in San Diego again next year. Hariette finished in 7 hours, 24 minutes, 36 seconds, the BBC reports, coming close to the over-90 record of 7 hours, 7 minutes, and 42 seconds she set in 2014, despite having a very difficult year between marathons. "I couldn't train very well because my husband was very ill and I had to be with him for some time, and then when he died in January I had some treatments on my leg," Thompson, who was in her 70s when she ran her first marathon,Tells the AP."I was just really thrilled that I could finish today.At 92 years and 65 days old, Thompson is 46 days older than Gladys Burrill was when Burill finished the 2010 Honolulu Marathon. “I can't believe I made it,” Thompson tells the Charlotte Observer. "I was really tired at one point. Around Mile 2 1, I was going up a hill and it was like a mountain, and I was thinking, 'This is sort of crazy at my age. I can't do it'. But then I felt better coming down the hill. And my son Brenny kept feeding me all these wonder (碳水化合物)that kept me going.” Thompson—whose parents, three brothers, and husband all died of cancer-tells the Observer that the San Diego marathon's fundraising for the Leukemia (白血病) Society is what inspired her to run and may even bring her back again next year.21. What does Thompson say about the San Diego marathon next year?A. She may not be able to be thereB. She hasn't thought about itC. She is sure to take part in it.D. She is likely to run again.22. When did Thompson set her firs over-90 marathon record?A. In2010.B. In2012.C. In2014.D. In2016.23. What did Thompson mainly do in that difficult year?A. She took care of her husband.B. She hurt her leg and had to rest.C. She received some new training.D. She traveled around with her family.24. During this year's marathon, Thompson ______.A. ran faster than last timeB. once considered giving upC. was confident she could make itD. could hardly move in the end25. What inspired Thompson to run the marathon?A. Setting her son a good example.B. Setting new marathon recordC. Raising money for cancer treatmentD. Living up to her own promise.Passage ThreeBefore the grass has thickened on the roadsides and leaves have started growing on the trees is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. The pavements are stained with chewing gum and the ditches are full of discarded fast food packets. Years ago Iremember traveling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags and discarded bottles. Nowadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gone wrong?The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lot longer than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in the undergrowth(下层灌木) for years.It is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot However, it is not as it there is no solution to this. A few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, Michael Meacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industry protested, of course. However, they need not have bothered; the idea was killed before it could draw breath, leaving supermarkets free to give away plastic bags.What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined action, both individual and collective, before it is too late. The alternative is to continue sliding downhill until we have a country that looks like a vast rubbish tip. We may well be at the tipping point. Yet we know that people respond to their environment. If things around them are clean and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by rubbish, they behave like rubbish. Now, much of Britain looks pretty dirty. What will it look like in five years?26. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Plastic BagsB. Environment ProtectionD. Rubbish Disposal C. Dirty Britain27. The plastics industry in Britain protested because ______.A. a tax was proposed on non-recyclable carrier bagsB. supermarkets no longer gave away plastic bagsC. they were blamed for causing plastic pollutionD. the government did not support them28. The expression "sliding downhill" (Para.4) probably means"______”A. working hard to reduce rubbishB. producing more plastic bagsC. encouraging people to use plastic bagsD. making things worse by taking no action29. Which of the following best describes the author's outlook on the environment?A. Optimistic.B. Confused.C. Concerned.D. Indifferent.30. The purpose of the article is to ______.A. encourage the public to take action against rubbishB. discourage people from supporting the plastics industryC. call on the government to protect the environmentD. encourage supermarkets to give away recyclable bagsPassage FourThose who work in the Netherlands often feel that a lot of time is wasted in discussions that lead to nothing. There are often meetings with documents, an agenda, and a chairman. All those present will have their say, after which their remarks are discussed.He who decides to skip a meeting though he has nothing more urgent to attend to, will find it unwise. The interacting that takes place during a meeting is very important for the general process. He who does not appear is saying that he does not think the subject is sufficiently important, or that he apparently does not take his colleagues seriously. Furthermore, he might miss some of the essential information that may become evident during the meeting. Those who are present show an interest in the problems of their colleagues. They supply questions, rather than commands, and thus declare themselves "co-responsibl e”. The Dutch, in their final conclusions, like to use such metaphors as "We are all in one line" or “Our noses are pointing in the same direction again.”If you present a decision, you will find that everyone has something to say about it and has questions to ask. This is why the Dutch will not be quick to present something as the only correct solution. The advantage to this approach is that such a meeting will often lead to genuine suggestions for improvement on certain aspects of a plan. As a result, the plan will be a joint approach.This time-consuming and seemingly useless process helps colleagues become a team. The amount of time that is lost around the table is more than what made up for inefficiency, once everyone goes back to work. Statistics show Dutch employees are among the world leaders when it comes to work productivity.31. According to Paragraph 1, meetings in Dutch companies seem to ______.A. be held usually for important issueB. waste a lot of time in fruitless discussionC. enable employees to know each other betterD. be good occasions for employees to show their talent32. To Dutch employees, one who is absent from a meeting ______.A. does not take his colleagues seriousB. may have something more urgent to doC. does not miss much critical informationD. may have nothing to say at the meeting33. According to Paragraph 3, why can't Dutch employees come to a quick decision?A. People are constantly in dispute.B. An idea usually undergoes a full discussion.C. Suggestions often lead nowhere.D. People often forget the aims of meetings.34. What does the last paragraph tell us?A. Many leaders in the world are Dutch.B. Dutch employees are highly productive.C. Dutch companies are the most successful in the world.D. Dutch employees work hardest in the world.35. The author's attitude towards the Dutch meeting is quiteA. unclearB. negativeC. positiveD. neutralPart II Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.
