However, of the people who immediately 1 to mind when one thinks of entrepreneurs——Bill Gates, Richard Branson or Oprah Winfrey, for example—few have done more than 2 a speech at a business school. 3 , a recent study by King's College in London has suggested what many intuitively 4 : that entrepreneurship may actually be in the blood—more to do with genes than classroom experience. All of which 5 the question—does anentrepreneur really need a business-school education?Not surprisingly some of the best-known schools in the field have a 6 answer to this: they don't actually profess to create entrepreneurs, 7 they nurture innate ability. Or as Timothy Faley of the entrepreneurial institute at Michigan's Ross School of Business 8 it: “A good idea is not enough. You need to know how to 9 a good idea into a good business.”Schools do this in a number of ways. One is to 10 that faculty are a mix of classic academics and businesspeople with experience of 11 their own successful firms. They can also create “incubators” where students 12 ideas and rub shoulders on a day-to-day basis with the external business world, receiving both advice and hard cash in the form of investment.Arguably such help is now more important than ever. The modern entrepreneur is faced with a more 13 world than when Richard Branson began by selling records out of a phone box. According to Patrice Houdayer, head of one of Europe's best-known entrepreneurship schools, EMIYON in France, new businesses used to move through a 14 series of growth steps —what he terms garage, local, national and international. Now however, 15 the communications revolution, they can leapfrog these stages and go global more or less straightaway—encountering a whole new 16 of problems and challenges. In this 17 Professor Houdayer maintains that the increasingly 18 nature of MBA classes can help the nascent entrepreneur in three ways: by plugging them into an international network of contacts and advisors, by preparing them for the pitfalls and opportunities 19 with dealing across different cultures and by 20 them to the different ways that business is conducted around the globe.1.[A]bring [B]call [C]spring [D]apply2.[A]report [B]deliver [C]prepare [D]compose3.[A]Indeed [B]Likewise [C]Therefore [D]Furthermore4.[A]conclude [B]assume [C]neglect [D]suspect5.[A]stirs [B]arouses [C]proves [D]invites6.[A]ready [B]unique [C]positive [D]favorable7.[A]yet [B]rather [C]nor [D]nevertheless8.[A]states [B]makes [C]puts [D]interprets9.[A]shift [B]transfer [C]modify [D]transform10.[A]ensure [B]assure [C]affirm [D]enlighten11.[A]carrying on [B]setting up [C]working out [D]turning around1 2.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1What's a label worth? A lot, it seems. Michael Hiscox and Nicholas Smyth, two Harvard University researchers, conducted an experiment on two sets of towels in an upmarket New York shop. One lot carried a label with the logo “Fair and Square” and the following message: These towels have been made under fair labour conditions, in a safe and healthy working environment which is free of discrimination, and where management has committed to respecting the rights and dignity of workers.The other set had no such label. Over five months, the researchers observed the impact of making various changes such as switching the label to the other set of towels and raising prices. The results were striking: not only did sales of towels increase when they carried the Fair and Square label, they carried on increasing each time the price was raised.No wonder companies are keen to appeal to ethically (i.e. morally)minded consumers, whether on labour standards or greencredentials. Timberland, a New Hampshire outdoor-gear company, is introducing detailed "Green Index” labels on its shoes. Tesco, M&S and Wal-Mart have all launched initiatives that bet on the rise of the ethical consumer.M&S estimates that about three-quarters of British consumers are interested in the green theme in some way. But even the keenest ethical consumer faces complicated situations, and sometimes the apparently obvious ethical choice turns out to be the wrong one. Surely it must be greener for Britons to buy roses from the Netherlands than ones air-freighted from Kenya? In fact, a study showed that related green house gas to the Dutch roses to be six times as large because they had to be grown in heated greenhouses.Joel Makower, editor of , says that, given a choice, most consumers will choose the greener product—provided it does not cost any more, comes from a trusted maker, requires no special effort to buy or use and is at least as good as the alternative. “That's almost an impossible barrier for any product,” he notes.So shoppers will still flock to shops selling cheap products of decent quality, ignoring how these are made. They will often buy more if a product is attractively presented,never mind that the packaging may be wasteful. And when companies try to do the right thing, consumers will not always go along with them.The lesson for companies is that selling green is hard work. And it is no good getting too far ahead of the customer. Half a step ahead is about right. Much more, and you won't sell. Any less, and you won't lead.21.The experiment on the towels indicated that ______.[A]consumers liked to purchase labeled products[B]consumers would buy goods when prices rose[C]consumption was influenced by green labels[D]ethical concern may influence consumption22.According to the text, consumers’ ethical choice ______.[A]determines the production of commodities[B]forces companies to sell green products only[C]leads companies to modify business activities[D]leads to higher labour and green standards23.We may infer from the fourth paragraph that ______.[A]green buying may be at higher environment cost[B]green production is actually complicated business[C]Dutch rose growth is greener than Kenya ones[D]British consumers actually oppose green farming24.According to Joel Makower, most consumers will ______.[A]buy greener products when given a choice[B]reject greener products for various reasons[C]pay more attention to the price of a product[D]refuse to follow the activities of companiespanies may learn the lesson that ______.[A]it is not worthwhile leading the customers[B]the customers are not easily to be misled[C]green policy is not effective for marketing[D]companies need a balanced green policyText 2There are various ways in which individual economic units can interact with one another. Three basic ways may be described as the market system, the administered system and the traditional system.In a market system individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the marketplace. It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sell commodities to them. In a market, transactions may take place via barter or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods such as automobiles, shorts, and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wants to trade my oldcar in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task. Hence the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably. In the modern market economy, goods and services are bought or sold for money.An alternative to the market system is administrative control by some agency over all transactions. This agency will issue edicts or commands as to how much of each good and service should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit. Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy. The central plan, drawn up by the government, shows the amounts of each commodity produced by the various firms and allocated to different households for consumption. This is an example of complete planning of production consumption, and exchange for the whole economy.In a traditional society, production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition: every person's place within the economic system is fixed by parentage, religion and custom. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition, too. People belonging to a certain group or caste may have an obligation to care for other persons, provide them with food and shelter, care for their health, and provide their education. Clearly, in a system where every decision made on the basis of traditionalone, progress may be difficult to achieve. A stagnant society may result.26.What is the main purpose of the passage?[A]To outline contrasting types of economic.[B]To explain the science of economic systems.[C]To argue for the superiority of one economic system.[D]To compare barter and money-exchange markets.27.In the second paragraph, the word “real” in “real goods” could best be replaced by which of the following?[A]High quality. [B]Concrete.[C]Utter. [D]Authentic.28.According to the passage, a barter economy can lead to ______.[A]rapid speed of transactions[B]misunderstandings[C]inflation[D]difficulties for the traders29.According to the passage, who has the greatest degree of control in an administered system?[A]Individual households. [B]Small businesses.[C]Major corporations. [D]The government.30.Which of the following is not mentioned by the authoras a criterion for determining a person's place in a traditional society?[A]Family background. [B]Age.[C]Religious beliefs. [D]Custom.Text 3If sustainable competitive advantage depends on work-force skills, American firms have a problem. Human-resource management is considered an individual responsibility. Labour is simply another factor of production to be hired—rented at the lowest possible cost—much as one buys raw materials or equipment.The lack of importance attached to human-resource management can be seen in the corporate hierarchy. In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command. The post of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer(CEO). By way of contrast, in Japan the head of human-resources management is central—usually the second most important executive, after the CEO, in the firm'shierarchy.While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work forces, in fact they invest less in the skills of their employees than do either Japanese of German firms. The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees. And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.As a result, problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive. If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany(as they do), the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United States. More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity, and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed. The result is a slower pace of technological change. And in the end the skills of the population affect the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can't effectively staff the processes that have to be operated,the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear.31.Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American companies?[A]They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills.[B]They see the gaining of skills as their employees' own business.[C]They attach more importance to workers than equipment.[D]They only hire skilled workers because of keen competition.32.What is the position of the head of human-resource management in an American firm?[A]He is one of the most important executives in the firms.[B]His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced.[C]He is directly under the chief financial executive.[D]He has no say in making important decisions in the firm.33.The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to ______.[A]workers who can operate new equipment[B]technological and managerial staff[C]workers who lack basic background skills[D]top executives34.According to the passage, the decisive factor in maintaining a firm's competitive advantage is ______.[A]the introduction of new technologies[B]the improvement of worker's basic skills[C]the rational composition of professional and managerial employees[D]the attachment of importance to the bottom half of the employees35.What is the main idea of the passage?[A]American firms are different from Japanese and German firms in human-resource management.[B]Extensive retraining is indispensable to effective human-resource management.[C]The head of human-resource management must be in the central position in a firm's hierarchy.[D]The human-resource management strategies of American firms affect their competitive capacity.Text 4The public holiday on the last Monday of August marks, in most British minds, the unofficial end of summer. A vastmigration takes place, as millions take advantage of the long weekend to visit seaside resorts or fly to Europe in a final sun-seeking cheer. Once the festivities are over, gloom descends: workers face four months of uninterrupted labor until Christmas Eve, their next official day off.This depression often provokes calls for more public holidays, and this year the clamor has been louder than usual. David Cameron's new Conservatives have been forced to deny rumors that they would recommend three new public holidays. Earlier in the summer, two ministers suggested a worthy sounding “Britain Day”, intended to inspire civil pride. On August 27th the Institute for Public Policy Research, a worthy think-tank, called for a new day off to “celebrate community heroes”.To the idlers, the case for more time off looks persuasive. By European standards at least, Britain is a nation of workaholics, with only the Austrians labouring as many hours per week. Workers are entitled to 20 working days of leave a year, the European Union's required minimum. Other countries are more generous. France and Denmark give at least 25 days in leave, and many Finns get 30. Britons celebrate a miserably eight national holidays a year; in Europe only the Romanians,with five, have fewer. Even significant national events are celebrated grudgingly. ： the British were given two days off to celebrate the queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002, but had to forfeit an existing public holiday to make up for it.National holidays are illogical as well as scarce. The queen's official birthday(a moveable holiday unrelated to her date of birth)is seen as a good excuse for a holiday in most of Britain's former colonies, but not in Her Majesty's homeland. Distribution is also badly distorted: seven of the eight holidays fall between December and May, leaving only August's to break up the rest of the year.There are plenty of things that a new holiday might celebrate. Patriots suggest that England should honour St George(the patron saint of the place), just as Scotland takes time off for St Andrew. The historically minded argue for a Magna Carta(The charter of liberties)day, whereas the politically correct suggest holidays celebrating “communities” and “volunteering”.Sadly, not everyone is keen on increasing public holidays. The CBI, a business lobbying group, points out that legal leave is already planned to rise to 28 working days by 2021, and says that an extra public holiday would cost up to ￡6 billion($ 12.1billion). In the face of such tough objections, concerns about leisure and the quality of life may seem vague and idealistic.36.What is the passage mainly talking about?[A]Different attitudes towards public holidays in Britain.[B]The increase of national holidays in Britain.[C]The problem of public holidays in Britain.[D]The call for more public holidays in Britain.37.The calls for more public holidays in Britain could be the results of ______.[A]the economic depression[B]the 4-month work without a rest[C]the long wait for an official day off[D]recommendation of two ministers38.What does the word “workaholics”most probably mean(Line 2, Paragraph 3)?[A]Compulsive workers.[B]Idle workers.[C]Lazy workers.[D]Irrational workers.39.According to the passage, the increase of British working days of leave ______.[A]is supported by all British people[B]is planned by CBI to be carried out by 2021[C]is challenged by some opponents[D]is likely to result in economic recession40.Which of the following conclusions can we draw from the text?[A]From June to December, there is only one British national holiday.[B]British national holidays are unsatisfactory for the quantity and the allocation.[C]The queen’s official birthday is celebrated in England.[D]People suggest new holidays for their own convenience.Part BDirections:Read the following text and answer questions by finding information from the right column that corresponds to each of the marked details given in the left column. There are two extra choices in the right column. Mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET 1.(10 points)Most people may drink only two liters of water a day, but they consume about 3,000 liters a day if the water that goes into their food is taken into account. The rich gulp down farmore, since they tend to eat more meat, which takes far more water to produce than grains. So as the world's population grows and incomes rise, farmers will need a great deal more water to keep everyone fed: 2,000 more cubic kilometers a year by 2030, according to the International Water Management Institute(IWMI). Yet in many farming regions, water is scarce and likely to get scarcer as global warming worsens. The world is facing not so much a food crisis as a water crisis, argues Colin Chartres, IWMI's director-general.The solution, Mr Chartres and others contend, is more efficient use of water or, as the sloganeers put it, “more crop per drop”. Some 1.2 billion people live in places that are short of water. Farming accounts for roughly 70% of human water consumption. So when water starts to run out, farming tends to offer the best potential for thrift. But governments rarely charge farmers a market price for water. So they are usually more wasteful than other consumers—even though the value they create from the water is often less than households or industry would be willing to pay for it.The pressing need is to make water go further. Antoine Fr érot, the head of the water division of Veolia Environment, promotes recycling of city wastewater to be used in industryor agriculture. This costs less and cuts pollution.Yet as Mr Frérot himself concedes, there are many even cheaper ways to save water. As much as 70% of water used by farmers never gets to crops, perhaps lost through leaky irrigation channels or by draining into rivers or groundwater. Investment in drip irrigation, or simply repairing the worst leaks, could bring huge savings.Farmers in poor countries can usually afford such things only if they are growing cash crops, says David Molden of IWMI. Even basic kit such as small rainwater tanks can be lacking. Ethiopia, for example, has only 38 cubic meters of storage capacity per inhabitant, compared to almost 5,000 in Australia. Yet modest water storage can hugely improve yields in rain-fed agriculture, by smoothing over short dry spells. Likewise, pumping water into natural aquifers for seasonal storage tends to be much cheaper than building a big dam, and prevents the great waste of water through evaporation.Agronomists are beginning to devise tools to help monitor the efficiency of water use. Some have designed algorithms that use satellite data on surface temperatures to calculate the rate at which plants are absorbing and transpiring water. That allows governments and development agencies to concentratetheir efforts on the most prodigal areas.Raising yields does not always involve greater water consumption, especially when farms are inefficient. It would take little extra water to double cereal output in many parts of Africa, Mr Molden argues. IWMI reckons that some three-quarters of the extra food the world needs could be provided simply by bringing yields in poor countries closer to those of rich ones. That is more realistic than the absolute alternative: giving up meat and other thirsty products altogether.[A]cultivating cash crops41.The world is meeting with challenges more from[B]leaking irrigation system42.Farmers waste more water due to[C]expenses and efficiency43.Farmers in poor countries can pay for irrigation improvement by[D]surface temperature data44.Building big dams is less effective for their[E]low water price45.The water use rate of plants is computed with[F]water shortage[G]food crisisPart CDirections:In this section there is a text in English. Translate the text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET 2.(15 points )The objective of any advertisement is to convince people that it is in their best interests to take the action the advertiser is recommending. The action may be to purchase a product or use a service.Advertising as a business developed most rapidly in the United States, the country that uses it to the greatest extent. In 1980 advertising expenditure in the U.S. exceeded 55 billion dollars, or approximately 2 percent of the gross national product.While advertising brings the economics of mass selling to the manufacturer, it produces benefits for the consumer as well. Some of those economies are passed along to the purchaser so that the cost of a product sold primarily through advertising is usually far less than one sold through personal sales people. Advertising brings people immediate news about products that have just come on the market. Finally, advertising pays for the programs on commercial television and radio and for about twothirds of the cost of publishing magazines and newspapers.Section III WritingPart A47Write a letter to invite your best friend Jane to take part in your mother's 60-year-old birthday and inform her of your arrangement.Begin your letter as follows:Dear Jane,You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.

2021新高考二卷英语听力
2021新高考二卷英语听力The 2021 New National College Entrance Examination (commonly known as the "New Gaokao") is a highly anticipated event in China, as it plays a significant role in determining students' future education and career paths. Among the various sections of the exam, the listening comprehension test holds immense importance. This article will delve into the specifics of the 2021 New Gaokao English listening comprehension section and provide valuable insights and strategies for success.The English listening comprehension section aims to assess students' ability to understand spoken English in various contexts. This section typically consists of a series of recordings, including dialogues, monologues, and short speeches. Students are required to answer questions based on the information they hear. To excel in this section, it is crucial to develop effective listening skills and employ effective strategies during the exam.To begin with, it is essential to enhance one's overall listening skills. Students should engage in regular listening practice to familiarize themselves with different accents, speech patterns, and vocabulary. This can be achieved by listening to English podcasts, watching English movies or TV shows, and engaging in conversations with English speakers. Developing a habit of active listening, where one focuses on understanding the main ideas, supporting details, and the speaker's intentions, is also essential.During the exam, it is crucial to stay calm and focused. The listening section can be challenging, as the recordings are often played only once. Students should avoid panicking if they miss a part of the conversation and instead, concentrate on the remaining content. It is also helpful to read the questions before listening to the recording, as this provides a clear understanding of what information to look for. Students should underline keywords in the questions to help them identify the relevant information more easily.One effective strategy for success in the listening section is to predict the content based on the context. By paying attention to the topic, the speaker's tone, and thesituation being discussed, students can make educated guesses about the information that might be presented. This prediction strategy helps students anticipate the answers and focus their attention on the relevant parts of the recording.Taking effective notes during the listening section can significantly improve performance. Students should develop a shorthand or symbol system to jot down key points and essential details. These notes can serve as a reference when answering the questions. However, it is important not to get too caught up in note-taking, as this may lead to missing crucial information. Striking a balance between listening and note-taking is the key.Another vital aspect of the listening comprehension section is understanding different question types. Students should familiarize themselves with the various question formats, such as multiple choice, completion, matching, and true/false. Each question type requires a specific approach, and being aware of the question structures can save time and minimize confusion during the exam.In conclusion, the 2021 New Gaokao English listening comprehension section is a crucial component of the exam. To succeed, students should focus on developing effective listening skills, employing strategies such as active listening, prediction, note-taking, and understanding different question types. With ample practice and a calm mindset, students can confidently approach this section and achieve favorable results. Good luck to all the students taking the 2021 New Gaokao!。

ATeary Joe was a boy with a special ability：he could make himself cry in less than a second.If he disliked something，or things became difficult，Teary Joe would not hesitate to put on a pitiful face and set great big tears running down his cheeks.In this way he managed to get practically everything he wanted，because no one could resist the pity inspired by his tearful little face.But one day，Teary Joe met Pipo.Pipo was asking people in the street for some change，in return for him helping them in any way he could.Pipo was very poor；he had no home and no family，so he made a living however he could.Even so，Pipo always had the biggest smiles on his face.Joe took to Pipo，so he decided to help him out in making some money.He went over next to Pipo，took off his hat，put it faceup on the ground，and started crying with the most pitiful of expressions.In a few minutes，Joe’s hat was full of coins and sweets，but when Joe offered all this to Pipo，Pipo declined.“I prefer deserving what I receive，”answered Pipo with his usual smile，“It’s much more fun making an effort to get things.Maybe I haven’t gotten everything I’ve wanted，but I’ve done a load of interesting things.” Teary Joe didn’t answer；he just walked sadly away.Joe had got everything he wanted，but he’d done practically nothing of interest the whole day.That evening，having returned home，Joe requested a delicious cake for his supper.When his mother said no，Joe tried to cry but，remembering Pipo and how joyful he was，he tried to get the cake in some other way.Joe spent the whole evening helping his mother to water the plants and organize the library books.In the end there was no cake.But that wasn’t so bad，because Joe discovered it had been much more fun doing all those things that evening rather than just sitting crying to get a piece of cake that，in the end，wouldn’t have been worth it.1．According to the passage，Teary Joe .A．relied on others’ sympathy beforeB．was joyful in his lifeC．hated working hardD．was a naughty boy答案A解析细节理解题。

The London Marathon has taken place every year since 1981, making this year’s the 37th race. At the first one just 6,225 people completed the course, and since then it has grown into one of the biggest sporting events in the world. It is one of the ‘World Marathon Majors’, which is a competition made up of six global marathon events. The overall male and female winners receive $1 million in prize money between them. This year, the winners of the London Marathon were both from Kenya — Daniel Wanjiru, who finished in 2 hours and 5 minutes, and Mary Keitany, whose time was 2 hours and 17 minutes. In the wheelchair race, David Weir from the UK and Swiss athlete Manuela Sch?r were the champions. However, most marathon runners are not professional athletes. They are those who have trained for months to raise money for charity or just as a personal challenge. Many people choose to do fun things to make them stand out, like doing other things instead of just running. For example, Tom Harrison took three days just to reach the run’s halfway point, as he is crawling the course on his hands, trying to raise money for the charity.。
