Coca-Cola

I think in a short period Pepsi and any other company can not surpass Coca-cola.Coca-Cola is the world's largest soft drink production company,It is also the world's most inclusive brand and company.Another very important part of the Coca-Cola Company marketing is what really represents them: their exclusive logo.First of all, something that really catches the attention is the bright red color that fills the logo.The color red has very high visibility, which is why stop signs, stoplights, and fire equipment are usually painted red.It's also used as an accent color to stimulate people to make quick decisions, so we can say that the insertion of such color in the making of this logo was something very important that proved to be crucial in their advertising.Red also refers to power, and having it all over the logo suggests that Coca-Cola reigns over all other drinks.Coca-Cola also has very impressive advertising strategies.Their advertising has had a significant impact on American culture, and is frequently credited with the "invention" of the modern image of Santa Claus as an old man in red-and-white garments, who of course is drinking Coca-Cola in the ads.They have also many advertisements showing polar bears playing and sliding on the snow, wanting to project that this is a very refreshing, ice-cold beverage that can satisfy anyone's thirst.Coca-Cola, as well as many other companies, is very good using testimonial propaganda.Many of the early television commercials for Coca-Cola featured movie stars, sports heroes, and popular singers of the day.For example, Selena was a spokesperson for Coca-Cola from 1989 till the time of her death.She filmed three commercials for the company and in 1994 Coca-Cola issued special Selena coke bottles to commemorate her 5 years with the company.Something else that usually brings very good results in advertising is battles between companies, in this case, Coca-Cola and Pepsi.They have run ads to combat each other, provoking incidents sometimes referred to as cola wars, and this have the same effect of a regular fight: attention, and at the end of such battles, the winner gets the “prize”: more consumers.Finally, Coca-Cola has gone through a number of different advertising slogans in its long history, including "The pause that refreshes," "I'd like to buy the world a Coke," and "Coke is it," and they will keep advertising in this and many other ways, with their biggest purpose being to stay on the top.Finally, a reason this company keeps expanding around the world because their marketing.Coca-Cola have want it to reduce its dependence on United States due to strong competition with Pepsi, so they have concentrated the majority of their marketing efforts internationally, being very successful.Aggressive advertising, branding and market segmentation haveplayed an important part in the success.It has portrayed itself as a fun, playfulness, freedom lifestyle.At the moment ,m ore and more competitors get stronger that people can hav e more options to choose. Such as Pepsi which has extremely rich experience and diversity in packaging design, Pepsi even launches mini cans to appeal to women,while Coca-Cola lack of efforts in this aspect. A nd the controlling of carbon emissions i n the production processbecome a big problem for Coca-Coca.These two sides are t he greatest risks of Coca-Coca.

选择性必修其次册UNIT 1 SCIENCE AND SCIENTISTS Ⅰ.阅读理解Jose Hernandez made his dream of becoming an astronaut a reality and he did so despite unbelievable difficulties.“I was working in a field near Stockton,and I heard on my radio that Franklin Chang-Diaz had been selected for the Astronaut Corps,”said Jose,who was a senior in high school at the time.“I was already interested in science and engineering,”Jose remembered.“But that was the moment I said,‘I want to fly in space.’”As one of four children in a migrant(移民)farming family from Mexico,Jose—who didn’t learn English until he was 12 years old—spent much of his childhood traveling with his family from Mexico to southern California each March,then working northward to the Stockton area by November,picking strawberries and cucumbers at farms along the route.They would then return to Mexico for Christmas and start the cycle all over again in the spring.“Some kids might think it would be fun to travel like that,”Jose laughed.“But we had to work.”After graduating from high school,Jose was admitted into the University of the Pacific.In 1987,he accepted a full-time job with Lawrence National Laboratory.In 2001,Jose joined the Johnson Space Centre,where he came face-to-face with Franklin Chang-Diaz.“We actually had common experiences—a similar upbringing,the same language issues.That built up my confidence.Any barriers that existed,he had already overcome them,”Jose smiled.“Now it’s my turn!”“NASA rejected me not once,not twice,not three times but 11 times.It wasn’t until the 12th time that I got selected,”he said.Jose was selected as part of the 19th class of astronauts in 2004.He circled the globe 217 times but remains a down to Earth guy. Jose Hernandez received the 2016 National Hispanic Hero Award and he continueshis long history in the field of engineering and space.1.What made Jose determined to be an astronaut?A.The influence of Astronaut Corps.B.The success of Franklin Chang-Diaz.C.His interest in science and engineering.D.The experience of working in the field.2.What can we learn about Jose as a child?A.He did much farm work.B.He traveled a lot for fun.C.He hated learning English.D.He obeyed his family in everything.3.How did Jose feel when he met Franklin Chang-Diaz personally?A.Inspired.B.Valued.C.Relaxed.D.Puzzled.4.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Climb over BarriersB.Reach for the StarsC.Work the Hard WayD.Learn from Your PastPeople who regularly sleep for six hours or less each night in middle age are more likely to develop dementia (痴呆) than those who routinely manage seven hours,according to a major study into the disease.Researchers found a 30% greater risk of dementia in those who during their 50s,60s and 70s consistently had a short night’s sleep,regardless of other risk factors such as heart condition and poor mental health.Sabia,an author of the study at the University of Paris and her colleagues analyzed survey data from University College London’s Whitehall study,which launched in 1985 and followed the health and lifestyles of more than 10,000 Britishvolunteers.The French team focused on nearly 8,000 participants who self-reported their sleep patterns.During 25 years of follow-up,521 participants developed dementia,with most diagnosed in their late 70s.Writing in Nature Communications,the scientists described how those who routinely got six hours of sleep or less each night in their 50s and 60s were 30% more likely to develop dementia than those who typically managed seven hours.The study does not prove that sleeping too little causes dementia,since sleep loss itself may be one of the earliest symptoms of the disease.But some scientists believe the results strengthen evidence that continuous poor sleep may at least contribute to the disease.The first pathological changes that lead to dementia occur one to two decades before the disease becomes obvious,as sticky proteins called amyloid build up in the brain.When the 1985 Whitehall study first assessed the sleep of volunteers who later developed dementia,this process had probably not started.This meant that if they were sleeping too little,it was unlikely to have been caused by dementia-related brain changes.“It strengthens the evidence that poor sleep in middle age could cause or worsen dementia in later life,”said Dr.Liz Coulthard,a consultant senior lecturer in dementia neurology.“It makes sense to take measures to improve sleep such as going outside during daylight hours to help maintain the natural rhythms that promote good sleep,avoiding too much alcohol or caffeine,particularly before bed,and finding a bedtime routine that works for you.”5.What risk factor for dementia does the passage focus on?A.Sleep loss.B.Age.C.Poor mental health.D.Heart condition.6.How did French scientists get the research findings?A.By making a comparison.B.By monitoring sleep patterns.C.By interviewing British volunteers.D.By analyzing previous survey data.7.In what tone do the scientists talk about the research?A.Casual.B.Doubtful.C.Negative.D.Cautious.8.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A.To give examples.B.To collect proofs.C.To offer suggestions.D.To present arguments.Ⅱ.完形填空It was just a

可口可乐中文商标由来

可口可乐中文商标由来

BackgroundThe Origin of “Delicious Happiness”The Joyful History of the Coca-Cola Trademark in Chinese Coca-Cola was first launched in China in 1927. To ensure the new product would be easily identifiable, it was obvious to The Coca-Cola Company that a version of its famous trademark was needed in a Chinese written language, to connect with the estimated 500 million Chinese consumers at the time.Even before the first taste of Coca-Cola was enjoyed in China, officials of the Company already were working on a Chinese rendition of the trademark. The task was daunting, since no Chinese translation of the name “Coca-Cola” existed. Instead, the Coca-Cola trademark in English had to be transliterated – somehow represented or spelled in the characters of a completely different alphabet.Company employees in China decided to focus on the sound of “Coca-Cola” and work toward a solution from there.Finding the nearest phonetic equivalent to “Coca-Cola" required a separate Chinese character for each of the four syllables. Of the roughly 40,000 Chinese characters at that time, there were only about 200 that were pronounced with sounds the Company needed, and many of these were not useful because of their meanings.While conducting research of China’s official Mandarin language for four suitable characters to verbally match the four syllables of Coca-Cola, Company representatives discovered that a number of local shopkeepers – preparing to stock their shelves with the renowned new product from the West – likewise had been frantically looking for Chinese equivalents to the name Coca-Cola, with curious results. Some makeshift store signs adopted any group of Chinese characters that sounded remotely like "Coca-Cola," without much consideration for the meaning of the symbols used to achieve the desired auditory effect.For example, to articulate the final “la” syllable of Coca-Cola, the character meaning “wax” in Chinese was sometimes used. One homemade store sign sounded generally like “Coca-Cola” when pronounced, but the characters literally meant “bite the wax tadpole.” Anyone who knew Chinese would recognize such signs as a rudimentary attempt to make up an arbitrary phonetic combination for Coca-Cola, but already the drink was lifting spirits in a manner not originally contemplated.Although The Coca-Cola Company was primarily concerned with the phonetic equivalent of Coca-Cola when spoken in Mandarin, its employees also sought relevance in the meaning of the Chinese characters, individually and collectively.The closest Mandarin parallel to the spoken “Coca-Cola” that could be found was the combination of four characters that are enunciated "ke kou ke le" by the Chinese people. There actually was no suitable character for saying “la” in Chinese, so a compromise was reached with “le,” which is more or less pronounced “ler.”Most Chinese characters have more than one meaning. Depending on the context, the four characters that were joined to voice "ke kou ke le" commonly broke down into any of the following individual interpretations:可(“ke”) – to permit, be able, may, can口(“kou”) – mouth, hole, pass, harbor可(“ke”) – to permit, be able, may, can乐(“le”) – joy, to rejoice, to laugh, to be happyWhether it was a stroke of luck or a flash of genius, when “mouth” made the translation list and it was realized that “le” could mean “to be happy,” Company staff believed they also had descriptors that somewhat fit the desired appeal of their sparkling beverage product. They began playing with translations of the individual characters and selectively interpreted one combination for the Chinese Coca-Cola logo as “to permit mouth to be able to rejoice,” expressing the pleasure that comes from drinking Coke. And so the first trademark registered for Coca-Cola in Chinese was born.What happened next transcended any remaining language barriers.It probably should have come as no surprise that local residents in China automatically had their own interpretation of the new trademark – vaguely similar to “permit mouth to be able to rejoice,” but, in hindsight, even more appropriate to the nature of the Coca-Cola beverage.To the Chinese citizenry, it was almost too obvious that putting together the first two Chinese characters in the logo could form a word meaning “delicious” and that the second pair of characters could be construed as “makes you happy,” or “happiness.” Within a short time, the new trademark for Coca-Cola throughout China was ubiquitously summed up in two divine words: “delicious happiness.”The fortuitous connotation of delicious taste and emotional happiness from the name Coca-Cola in written Chinese could hardly be surpassed. The pronunciation, the visual logo and the physical and emotional benefits associated with the soft drink took on legendary proportion in the annals of modern Chinese transliteration.Recounting part of the remarkable turn of events, N.F. Allman, a former legal counsel for Coca-Cola in China, wrote in 1957: “Not once in 10 million times could a company literally pronounce their trademark in English and have the sounds mean something desirable in the Chinese language.”Sales of Coca-Cola in mainland China ceased in autumn 1949 – when the People’s Republic of China was founded – and restarted in January 1979. During that nearly 30-year absence, the written language on the Chinese mainland underwent significant transformation. Notably, a national movement to “simplified Chinese characters” was initiated in the 1950s, a development that mostly streamlined the look of the last character (pronounced “le”) in the Chinese trademark for Coca-Cola.Coupled with the new national usage standards has been a switch to reading Chinese characters from left to right, instead of the traditional right to left or even top to bottom. Meanwhile, a remodeling of the phonetic system has affected English spelling for the pronunciation of Chinese characters, but not how the characters are actually vocalized.In early 2003, the graphic appearance of Coca-Cola packaging in China was updated to a refreshing modernity. The visual identity that was unveiled featured a bold adaptation of the iconic English Spencerian script associated elsewhere around the world with the Coca-Cola trademark. The new Spencerian-style typeface in Chinese – created by internationally acclaimed Hong Kong designer Alan Chan – accentuated the lucidity of the logo and integrated well with its counterpart English script, to convey a contemporary look. Even though the Chinese characters are completely different from the English lettering for Coca-Cola, both versions of the trademark today have a very similar and familiar appearance.And despite all the recent changes, the meaning of “Delicious Happiness” has not been lost in translation.# # #。

Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other digital records. Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species in an area, a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect.“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observation s of different species with the aid of a mobile application,” said Barnabas Daru, who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. “These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens(标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable?”Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns.“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias (使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it,” said Daru.Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only records did not lead to better global coverage. Moreover, these data are biased and favor certain regions, time periods, and species. This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby. These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-catching features.What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity?“Quite a lot,” Daru explained. “Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places – and even species – that are not w ell-sampled. To improve the quality of observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.”32. What do we know about the records of species collected now?A. They are becoming outdated.B. They are mostly in electronic form.C. They are limited in number.D. They are used for public exhibition.33. What does Daru’s study focus on?A. Threatened species.B. Physical specimens.C. Observational data.D. Mobile applications.34. What has led to the biases according to the study?A. Mistakes in data analysis.B. Poor quality of uploaded pictures.C. Improper way of sampling.D. Unreliable data collection devices.35. What is Daru’s suggestion for biodiversity apps?A.

英文营销案例Marketing Case Study。

In today's competitive business environment, effective marketing strategies are crucial for the success of any company. In this case study, we will examine three successful English marketing campaigns and analyze the key factors that contributed to their success.The first case study is the "Share a Coke" campaign launched by Coca-Cola. This innovative campaign involved replacing the Coca-Cola logo on bottles with popular names and encouraging consumers to share a Coke with friends and family. The campaign was a huge success, as it not only increased sales but also generated significant buzz on social media. The key to the success of this campaign was its personalization and the emotional connection it created with consumers. By associating the brand with the act of sharing and personalization, Coca-Cola was able to create a strong bond with its customers.The second case study is the "Dove Real Beauty Sketches" campaign. Dove, a personal care brand, created a powerful marketing campaign that challenged the conventional standards of beauty. The campaign featured a forensic artist who drew sketches of women based on their own descriptions and then based on the descriptions of others. The results revealed that women were often overly critical of their own appearance. This emotional and thought-provoking campaign not only went viral but also sparked important conversations about self-esteem and body image. The key to the success of this campaign was its ability to resonate with the target audience on a deep emotional level, leading to increased brand loyalty and positive brand perception.The third case study is the "Old Spice Man" campaign. Old Spice, a men's grooming brand, rebranded itself with a series of humorous and over-the-top commercials featuring the "Old Spice Man." These commercials quickly became viral sensations and helped the brand appeal to a younger audience. The key to the success of this campaign was its ability to create a memorable and entertaining brand image that resonated with the targetdemographic. By using humor and creativity, Old Spice was able to differentiate itself from competitors and increase brand awareness.In conclusion, these case studies demonstrate the power of effective English marketing campaigns. By creating personalized, emotional, and entertaining content, these brands were able to connect with their target audience and achieve remarkable results. These successful campaigns serve as valuable examples for businesses looking to elevate their marketing strategies and stand out in today's competitive market.。

It was a drugstore. While Europeans were served at the counter, a long line of Africans queued at the window and often not only were kept waiting, but when their turn came to be served, were rudely treated by the shop assistants. One day I was determined to make a public protest against this kind of thing, and many of the schoolboys in my class followed me to the store and waited outside to see what would happen when I went in.I simply went into the shop and asked the manager politely for some medicine. As soon as he saw me standing in the place where only European customers were allowed to stand, he shouted at me in a bastard language that is only used by an employer when speaking to his servants.I stood at the counter and politely requested in English that I should be served. The manager became exasperated and said to me in English, "Even though you stand there till Christmas I will never serve you."I went to the District commissioner's office. Fortunately the District Commissioner was out, for he was one of the old schools; however, I saw a young District Officer who was a friend of mine. He was very concerned to hear my story and told me that if ever I wanted anything more from the drugstore, all I had to do was come to him personally and he would buy my medicine for me. I protested that that was not good enough. I asked him to accompany me back to the store and to make a protest to the manager. This he did, and I well remember him saying tothe manager, "Here is Mr. Kaunda who is a responsible member of the Urban Advisory Council, and you treat him like a common servant. "The manager of the drugstore apologized and said, "If only he had introduced himself and explained who he was, then, of course I should have given him proper service. "I had to explain once again that he had missed my point. Why should I have to introduce myself every time I went into a store? I want to prove that any man of any color, whatever his position, should have the right to go into any shop and buy what he wanted. Why didn't the writer wait at the window of the drugstore like other black African?→ ←A. Because he thought he was educated and should be treated differently.B. Because he thought, being an important person, he should not be kept waiting.C. Because he thought his white friends would help him out.D. Because he wanted to protest against racial discrimination.3.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) If a teacher gets an incorrect answer from students, it is most appropriate for him or her to say"_____"in order to encourage them.A.

All the best with your studyC. All the best in your businessD. All the best in your new job5.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) Mobile office is the mutual product of economic, scientific, and social progress. Mobile of rice has become a solution that provides users with convenient, prompt, safe, reliable, and reasonably priced communications and office faculty anywhere anytime via the support of mobile interconnection platform(MIP)and its applications systems. When you leave your office to attend meetings or travel on business, what would happen to your business routine? Of course, faxes and e-mails would be still sent to your fax machine or e-mail box, but you can't read them and make prompt reaction timely. When your clients need you to make some urgent modifications on your work and you are neither in the office nor carrying relevant documents, what can you do? Maybe you have to say "sorry" to the clients. But, your business will be affected, the clients will be unhappy and disappointed because of your delay, and you will lose a lot of business opportunities.In fact, very frequently, you need to check, reply, distribute, display, modify, or read some materials when you are not in your office. You must get out of this dilemma. The best solution to normally handle your business anywhere anytime and not to disappoint your clients is to let your office "move" with you. Thus,you can have convenient, prompt, safe, reliable, and reasonably priced communications and office faculty anywhere anytime. With the development of communications technology, network application, and wireless interconnection, mobile office has become simpler and smaller, and even can be realized via one mobile phone with data communications function. Thus, mobile office has already been put into your pocket, and office mobility has been realized.Mobile office has provided people with convenient, casual working environment, but at the same time, it still has some unsatisfactory aspects such as mismatching equipment interface(接口,界面)and inadequate battery. Nevertheless, we believe that with technical progress, people can certainly overcome all kinds of difficulties. Mobile office will make your career unimpeded, and will realize the dream of completely free communication. Users will enjoy more colorful life and better working environment, and users' living standard, working efficiency, and even enterprises' production efficiency will certainly be immensely raised. The passage suggests that mobile office is necessary, especially when→ ←.A. you need to make some urgent modifications on your workB. you need to read and reply faxes and e-mailsC. you are out of the office to attend meetingsD. you can put the mobile office into your pocket6.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) Which of the following assumptions about vocabulary learning contradicts the modem language teaching theories?_______A. The best way to learn words is to use them.B. The best way to learn vocabulary is via rote-learning.C. An English dictionary is an important aid to students.D.

Today, unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents, "there is a major shift in the middle class," declares sociologist Allan Schnaiberg of Northwestern University, whose son, 19, moved back in after an absence of eight months.Analysts cite a variety of reasons for this return to the nest. The marriage age is rising, a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people.A high divorce rate and a declining remarriage rate are sending economically pressed and emotionally hurt survivors back to parental shelters. For some, the expense of anaway-from-home college education has become so excessively great that many students now attend local schools. Even after graduation, young people find their wings clipped by skyrocketing housing costs.Living at home, says Knighton, a school teacher, continues to give her security and moral support. Her mother agreed, "Its ridiculous for the kids to pay all that money for rent. It makes sense for kids to stay at home. " But sharing the family home requires adjustments for all. There are the hassles over bathrooms, telephones and privacy. Some families, however, manage the delicate balancing act. But for others, it proves too difficult. Michelle Del Turco,24, has been home three times and left three times. "What I considered a social drink, my dad considered an alcohol problem," she explains. "He never liked anyone I dated, so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends house.Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on? Mostpsychologists feel lengthy home comings are a mistake. Children, struggling to establish separate identities, can end up with "a sense of inadequacy, defeat and failure." And aging parents, who should be enjoying some financial and personal freedom, find themselves stuck with responsibilities. Many agree that brief visits, however, can work beneficially.One of the disadvantages of young adults returning to stay with their parents isthat→←.A. there will inevitably be inconveniences in every day lifeB. most parents find it difficult to keep a bigger family goingC. the young adults tend to be overprotected by their parentsD. public opinion is against young adults staying with their parents9.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) Polyester (聚酯)is now being used for bottles. ICI, the chemicals and plastics company, believes that it is now beginning to break the grip of glass on the bottle business and thus take advantage of this huge market.All the plastics manufacturers have been experiencing hard times as their traditional products have been doing badly world-wide for the last few years. Between 1982 and 1984 the Plastics Division of ICI had lost a hundred and twenty million dollars, and they felt that the most hopeful new market was in packaging, bottles and cans.Since 1982 it has opened three new factories producing "Melinar", the raw material from which high quality polyester bottles are made.The polyester bottle was born in the 1970s, when soft drinks companies like Coca Cola started selling their drinks in giant two-liter containers. Because of the build-up of the pressure of gas in these large containers, glass was unsuitable. Nor was PVC, the plastic which had been used for bottles since the 1960s, suitable for drinks with gas in them, A new plastic had to be made.Glass is still cheaper for the smaller bottles, and will continue to be so unless oil and plastic become much cheaper, but plastic does well for the larger sizes.Polyester bottles are virtually unbreakable. The manufacturers claim they are also lighter, less noisy when being handled, and can be reused. Shopkeepers and other business people are unlikely to object to a change from glass to polyester, since these bottles mean few breakages, which are costly and time-consuming. The public, though, have been more difficult to persuade. ICIs commercial department is developing different bottles with interesting shapes, to try and make them visually more attractive to the public.The next step could be to develop a plastic which could replace tins for food. The problem here is the high temperatures necessary for cooking the food in the container.Why aren’t all bottles now made of polyester?_→←A. The price of oil and plastic has risen.B. It is not suitable for containing gassy drinks.C. The public like traditional glass bottles.D. Shop-keepers dislike reusable bottles.10.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) The mode of operation in passing laws in the U. S.

And yet it is central to a lasting, satisfying marriage.What is this thing called respect? It is not the same as admiration. "When you fall in love, you admire the other, "says Dr. Alexandra Symonds, associate clinical professor of psychiatryat the New York University, School of Medicine.” You look up to someone-much the way a child idealizes a parent.”Such romantic admiration thrives and even depends on the illusion that he or she is "perfect for you.95 Thafs why it doesnt last. "You come to see that the person you married isnt exactly what you expected.", says Francine Klagsbrun. "There are differences of personality, of approaches to life, different ways of doing things. ”You can try to change your mate back into your fantasy. But for the marriage to last and grow its better to →agree to disagree←, to learn to let each other be. Only by taking this path can you begin to develop real respect toward each other.“I have one patient whose husband loves sports,especially tennis,”says Dr. Symonds.” She would prefer to go to the theatre, or to stay at home and read. She could simply say, ‘We have different tastes.’ Instead, she says, How can he waste his time and money that way? She puts him down."The put-down is the chief symptom and weapon of lack of respect or contempt. "Contempt is the wors t kind of emotion.” says Symonds. "You feel the other person has no worth.’ We’ve all seen marriages in which one or both partners attack the other quite savagely in the guise of Its for your own good. Any "good" is→ undone ←by the hostile tone. A wife nag s her husband to be more ambitious and makes him feel like a failure because he prefers craftsman- ship or community projects to the competitive business world. Or a husband accuses his wife of wasting time whenever she gets together with a friend. "Why isnt she doing something productive?"In good marriage partners nurture each others self-esteem. They may express humorous incomprehension of one anothers preferences, but they never make the other person feel like an idiot. "Martyrs idea of a vacation is to go down to the basement on a sunny day and spend time woodworking, "says Dr. Alexandra Symonds of her husband, psychiatrist and surgeon Martin Symond.But theres fondness in the gibes and firm support for the others right to be himself. Respect is expressed in words like. ul dont want to go to the concert, but you have a great And occasionally, "Sure, III come with you. Just dont him angry if I fall asleep. " Respect, then is appreciation of the separateness of the other person, of the ways in which he or she is unique. These things take time to discover and accept.Thats the paradox of a good marriage: only by respecting each other as you are do you open the door to change. The root meaning of the word respect is "to look at". Respect is a clear yet loving eye. It sees what is really there, but it also sees what is potentially there and helps bring it to fruition. Respect is the art of love by which married couples honor what is unique and best in each other.The underlined word "undone" in Paragraph 7 suggests that_____.A. what you said reversed what you meantB. what you said was not what you meantC. what you said meant nothing to your partnerD. what you said failed to touch the heart of your partner17.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) It is believed that the feeding patterns parents→ ←on their children can determine their adolescent and adult eating habits.A. compelB. imposeC. evokeD. necessitate18.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) —Do you know if Linda is willing to take charge of the program?—→ ←, does it?A.

Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hurts and then paint it with one of the substances available from gardenshops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually without interference fromthe leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed If this does happen,it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly. Pruning should be done to→ ←.A. make the tree grow tallerB. improve the shape of the treeC. get rid of the small branchesD. make the small branches thicker22.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) Recent research has claimed that an excess of positive ionsin the air can have an ill effect on peopled physical or psychological health. What are positive ions? Well, the air is full of ions, electrically charged particles, and generallythere is a rough balance between the positive and the negative charged. But sometimes this balance becomes disturbed and a larger proportion of positive ions are found. This happens naturally before thunderstorm, earthquakes when winds such as the Mistral, Hamsin or Sharavare blowing in certain countries. Or it can be caused by a build-up of static electricity indoors from carpets or clothing made of man-made fibers, or from TV sets, duplicators or computer display screens.When a large number of positive ions are present in the air, many people experience un- pleasant effects such as headaches, fatigue, irritability, and some particularly sensitive people suffer nausea or even mental disturbance. Animals are also affected, particularly before earth- quakes snakes have been observed to come out of hibernation, rats to flee fromtheir burrows, dogs howl and cats jump about unaccountably. This has led the US Geographical Survey to fund a network of volunteers to watch animals in an effort to foresee such disasters before they hit vulnerable areas such as California.Conversely, when large numbers of negative ions are present, then people have a feeling ofwell-being. Natural conditions that produce these large amounts are near the sea, close to waterfalls or fountains, or in any place where water is sprayed, or forms a spray. This probably accounts for the beneficial effect of a holiday by the sea, or in the mountainswith tumbling streams or waterfalls.To increase the supply of negative ions indoors, some scientists recommend the use of ionizers: small portable machines, which generate negative ions. They claim that ionizers not onlydean and refresh the air but also improve the health of people sensitive to excess positive ions. Of course, there are the detractors, other scientists, who dismiss such claims andare skeptical about negative/positive ion research. Therefore, people can only make up theirown minds by observing the effects on themselves, or on others, of a negative rich or poor environment. After all it is debatable whether depending on seismic readings to anticipate earthquakes is more effective than watching the cat. Some scientists believe that→ ←.A. watching animals to anticipate earthquakes is more effective than depending on seismographyB. the unusual behavior of animals cannot be trustedC. neither watching nor using seismographs is reliableD. earthquake is destructive23.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) Which of the following best describes first language acquisition?→ ←A.

Yet something seemed different that day when I entered it for the first time. My job was to make classroom visits and encourage implementing a training program focusing on language arts, ideas that would empower students to feel good about them and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers in this project.I sat in the back and watched. All the students were working on the task, filling their notebook paper with thoughts and ideas. A student next to me was filling her page with "I can’t kick the soccer ball." I can’t do long division with more than three numerals." He r page was half full and she showed no signs of letting up. I walked down the row glancing at students papers. Everyone was writing down things they couldnt do.By this time the activity engaged my curiosity. I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on but I noticed she too was busy writing "I cant get Johns mother to come for a teacher conference." "I cant get my daughter to put gas in the car," "I cant..."Curious and puzzled about what they were doing, I returned to my seat and continued my observations.Students wrote for another ten minutes. They were then instructed to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their "I Can’t”statements into all empty shoe boxes. Then Donna added hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door and down the hail.Students followed her. I followed the students. Half way down the hall way, Donna entered the custodians room, came out with a shovel, and marched the students out to the farthest comer of the playground. There they began to dig. They were going to bury their "I Cant’s"The digging took over then minutes with dirt. Students stood around the freshly dug grave. At this point Donna announced, "Boys and girls, please join hands and bow your heads." They quickly formed a circle around the grave.They lowered their heads and waited. Donna delivered the eulogy. "Friends, we gathered here today to honor the memory of I Cant. While he was with us on earth, he touched the lives of everyone, some more than others. We have provided I Cant with a final resting place and a headstone that contains his epitaph. He is survived by his brothers and sisters, I Cant, I Will, and Im going to right away. They are not as well known as their famous relative and are certainly not as strong and powerful. Perhaps some day, with your help, they will make an even bigger mark on the world. May I Cant rest in peace and may everyone present pick up their lives and move forward in his absence."According to the passage, which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A. Donna was a volunteer teacher of the training program.B. The author knew what was going to happen when he / she entered the classroom.C. Donnas5 fourth grade classroom appeared to be traditional, resembling many others the author had seen in the past.D. Everyone, regardless of gender, age, and occupation, may encounter many "I can t" in life.29.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) Mobile office is the mutual product of economic, scientific, and social progress. Mobile of rice has become a solution that provides users with convenient, prompt, safe, reliable, and reasonably priced communications and office faculty anywhere anytime via the support of mobile interconnection platform(MIP)and its applications systems. When you leave your office to attend meetings or travel on business, what would happen to your business routine? Of course, faxes and e-mails would be still sent to your fax machine or e-mail box, but you can't read them and make prompt reaction timely. When your clients need you to make some urgent modifications on your work and you are neither in the office nor carrying relevant documents, what can you do? Maybe you have to say "sorry" to the clients. But, your business will be affected, the clients will be unhappy and disappointed because of your delay, and you will lose a lot of business opportunities.In fact, very frequently, you need to check, reply, distribute, display, modify, or read some materials when you are not in your office. You must get out of this dilemma. The best solution to normally handle your business anywhere anytime and not to disappoint your clients is to let your office "move" with you. Thus,you can have convenient, prompt, safe, reliable, and reasonably priced communications and office faculty anywhere anytime. With thedevelopment of communications technology, network application, and wireless interconnection, mobile office has become simpler and smaller, and even can be realized via one mobile phonewith data communications function. Thus, mobile office has already been put into your pocket,and office mobility has been realized.Mobile office has provided people with convenient, casual working environment, but at the same time, it still has some unsatisfactory aspects such as mismatching equipment interface(接口,界面)and inadequate battery. Nevertheless, we believe that with technical progress, people can certainly overcome all kinds of difficulties. Mobile office will make your career unimpeded, and will realize the dream of completely free communication. Users will enjoy more colorful life and better working environment, and users' living standard, working efficiency, and even enterprises' production efficiency will certainly be immensely raised.In the eyes of the author, mobile office→ ←.A. has some fatal shortcomingsB. is too expensive to affordC. would be realized in the futureD. has both advantages and disadvantages30.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) Tom’ s school was on the other side of the road, so he wastold to watch out cars when______the street.A. crossingB. crossC. crossedD. to cross31.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) In writing,→ ←will give students the opportunityto select from the list those useful ideas to be included in their writing and also to seehow these ideas can be put together in a coherent or logical way to present a convincing argumentA. brainstormingB. mappingC. outliningD. editing32.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) Which of the following sets of consonants differs only in one distinctive feature?→ ←A.

Scarcely a man in the 500 does not carry the scars of accident crashes. The mark of the plastic surgeon is everywhere, and burned skin is common. Sometimes a driver^ scars are invisible, part of his heritage. Two young drivers, Billy Vukovich and Gary Bettenhausen, raced in their first 500 in 1968. Less than 20 years before, their fathers also competed against one another on the Indy track-and died there.All this the drivers accept. Over the years, they have learned to trust their own techniques, reflexes, and courage. They depend, too, on a trusted servant-scientific engineering. Though they may not have had a great deal of schooling (an exception is New Zealand’s Bruce McLaren, who had an engineering degree), many drivers are gifted mechanics, with a feeling for their engines that amount to kinship.A few top drivers have become extremely wealthy, with six-figure incomes from prize money, endorsement, and jobs with auto-product manufacturers. Some have businesses of their own. McLaren designs racing chassis (底盘).Dan GumeyJs California factory manufactured the chassis of three of the first four cars in the 1968 Indy 500, including his own second place car.

The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The worlds largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wet-lands. Wetlands are important because they can also prevent floods. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance Of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2, many activities are held to tell people more about wet-lands.The World Wetlands Day is on. ______ .B. June 25C. February 2D. March 2221.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分)The committee __________ a conclusion only after days of discussion.A. releasedB. achievedC. reachedD. accomplished22.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) Passage OneMove over Methuselah. Future generations could be living well into their second century and still doing Sudoku, if life expectancy predictions are true. Increasing by two years every decade, they show no signs of flattening out. Average lifespan worldwide is already double what it was 200 years ago. Since the 1980s, experts thought the increase in life expectancy would slow down and then stop, but forecasters have repeatedly been proved wrong.The reason behind the steady rise in life expectancy is “the decline in the death rate of the elderly”, says Professor Tom Kirkwood from Newcas tle University. He maintains that our bodies are evolving to maintain and repair themselves better and our genes are investing in →this process ←to put off the damage which will eventually lead to death. As a result, there is no ceiling imposed by the real ities of the ageing process. “There is no use-by-date when we age. Ageing is not a fixed biological process," Tom says.A large study of people aged 85 and over carried out by Professor Kirkwood discovered that there were a remarkable number of people enjoying good health and independence in their late 80s and beyonD. With people reaching old age in better shape, it is safe to assume that this is all due to better eating habits, living conditions, education and medicine.There are still many people who suffer from major health problems, but modem medicine means doctors are better at managing long-term health conditions like diabetes, high blood pres- sure and heart disease. “We are reaching old age with less accumulative damage than previous generations, we are less damaged," says Professor KirkwooD. Our softer lives and the improvements in nutrition and healthcare have had a direct impact on longevity.Nearly one-in-five people currency in the UK will live to see their 100th birthday, the Office for National Statistics predicted last year. Life expectancy at birth has continued to increase in the UK——from 73.4 years for the period 1991 to 1993 to 77.85 years for 2007 to 2009. A report in Science from 2002 which looked at life expectancy patterns in different countries since 1840 concluded that there was no sign of a natural limit to life.Researchers Jim Oeppen and Dr. James Vaupel found that people in the country with the highest life expectancy would live to an average age of 100 in about six decades. But they stopped short of predicting anything more."This is far from eternity: modest annual increments in life expectancy will never lead to immortality,” the researchers saiD.We do not seem to be approaching anything like the limits of life expectancy, says Professor David Leon from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. “There has been no flattening out of the best the groups which everyone knows have good life expectancy and→ low mortality←. ”he says.These groups, which tend to be in the higher social and economic groups in society, can live for several years longer than people in lower social groups, prompting calls for an end to inequalities within societies.Within populations, genes also have an important role to play in determining how long we could survive for, but environment is still the most important factor.It is no surprise that healthy-living societies like Japan have the highest life expectancies in the worlD. But it would still be incredible to think that life expectancy could go on rising forever. “I would bet there will be further increases in life expectancy and then it will probably begin to slow,” says Tom, “but we just don’t know.”The underlined phrase “low mortality” in Paragraph 8 could best be replaced by “→←".A. short life spanB. low death rateC. low illness rateD. good health condition23.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) For grammar teaching, if the rule is given first and explained and the student then has to apply the rule to given situation, the method is definedas______methoD.A. deductiveB. inductiveC.

Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism can still be reviveD. Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the disintegration of vital cells and tissues. Death is then irreversible and final.Scientists have been seeking a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can be revived before biological death occurs. The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, combined with narcotic sleep. By slowing down the body^ metabolism, cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.To illustrate how this works, scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called KetA. The scientists put Keta to sleep with a narcotic. Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature. When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from its body. The monkey’s blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped; clinical death set in.this point the scientists pumped blood into its body in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing. After two minutes the monkey’s heart became active once more. Aft er fifteen minutes, spontaneous breathing began, and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her heaD. After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection. Keta seized the syringe and ran with it around the room. Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.One characteristic of clinical death is______.A. lasting damage to the lungsB. destruction of the tissuesC. temporary non-functioning of the heartD. that the organism cannot be revived28.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) Which of the following activities actually does not involve writing?→ ←.A.

Nevertheless, some of these small changes are important. There are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity. One of these is the subtraction of water from the ocean by means of evaporation. In thisextreme, of course, white salt would be left behind; this, by the way, is how much of the table salt we use is actually obtaineD.The opposite of evaporation is precipitation, such as rain, by which water is added to the ocean. Here the ocean is being diluted so that the salinity is decreaseD. This may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean. Thus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water by evaporation, or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation.Normally, in hot regions where the sun is very strong, the ocean salinity is somewhat higher than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation. Similarly, in coastal regions where rivers dilute the sea, salinity is somewhat lower than in other oceanic areas.A third process by which salinity may be altered is associated with the formation and melting of sea ice. When seawater is frozen, the dissolved materials are left behinD. In this manner, seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeareD. Of course, when this ice melts, it will tend to decrease the salinity of the surrounding water.In the Weddell Sea, the densest water in the ocean is formed as a result of this freezing process, which increases the salinity of cold water. This heavy water sinks and is found in the deeper portion of the oceans of the worlD.It can be known from the passage that increase in the salinity of ocean water is caused by______.A. melting of sea iceB. precipitationC. evaporationD. supplement of salt33.(单项选择题)(每题 2.00 分) Mr. King works in a shop and drives a car for the manager.

His assessment weighed the pros and cons of e-book technology’s impact on social rela tionships, the environment, the economy,etC. Before you curl up with an e-book, consider the disadvantages.They increase eyestrain due to poor screen resolution, replace a relatively cheap commodity with a more expensive one, and displace workers in print book production and traditional publishing. E-books make it easy to share data, thereby threatening copyright agreements and reducing compensation of authors, as well as creating no biodegradable trash. On the other hand, e-books save paper and trees, reduce the burden of the carrying and storing of printed books, promote self- sufficiency in learning, and make reading a collaborative experience online. They also create new jobs for writers and artists and encourageself-publishing. In final analysis, Ohler points out, e-books should gain society’s approval if a few conditions are met: make them biodegradable and recyclable,solve the problem of eye fatigue,be sure the “have-nots” get the technology,and support e-book training in schools and business.What is e-books negative impact on social relationships?______.A. They create new jobs only for writers.B. Fewer and fewer people have access to new technology.C. They may threaten some traditional trades.。

Thesedata suggestB. In this study, we demonstrate C. it is critical to emphasizeD.additional research will be requiredE. we were unable todetermineDiscussionIndividuals who recover from certain viral infections typically develop virus-specific antibody responses that provide robustprotective immunity against re-exposure, but some viruses do not generate protective natural immunity, such as HIV-1. Human challenge studies for the common cold coronavirus 229E have suggested that there may be partialnatural immunity. However, there is currently no data whether humans who have recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infection are protected from re-exposure.This is a critical issue with profound implications for vaccine development, public health strategies, antibody-based therapeutics, and epidemiologicmodeling of herd immunity. _____1_______ that SARS-CoV-2 infection in rhesusmacaques provided protective efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 rechallenge.We developed a rhesus macaque model of SARS-CoV-2 infection thatrecapitulates many aspects of human SARS-CoV-2 infection, including high levels of viral replication in the upper and lower respiratory tract and clear pathologic evidence of viral pneumonia. Histopathology,immunohistochemistry, RNAscope, and CyCIF imaging demonstratedmultifocal clusters of virus infected cells in areas of acute inflammation, with evidence for virus infection of alveolar pneumocytes and ciliated bronchial epithelial cells. ______2_______ the utility of rhesus macaques as a model forSARS-CoV-2 infection for testing vaccines and therapeutics and for studying immunopathogenesis. However, neither nonhuman primate model led torespiratory failure or mortality, and thus further research will be required to develop a nonhuman primate model of severe COVID-19 disease.SARS-CoV-2 infection in rhesus macaques led to humoral and cellular immune responses and provided protection against rechallenge. Residual low levels ofsubgenomic mRNA in nasal swabs in a subset of animals and anamnesticimmune responses in all animals following SARS-CoV-2 rechallenge suggest that protection was mediated by immunologic control and likely was notsterilizing.Given the near-complete protection in all animals following SARS-CoV-2 rechallenge, ______3_______ immune correlates of protection in thisstudy. SARS-CoV-2 infection in rhesus monkeys resulted in the induction of neutralizing antibody titers of approximately 100 by both a pseudovirusneutralization assay and a live virus neutralization assay, but the relativeimportance of neutralizing antibodies, other functional antibodies, cellular immunity, and innate immunity to protective efficacy against SARS-CoV-2remains to be determined. Moreover, ______4_______ to define the durability of natural immunity.In summary, SARS-CoV-2 infection in rhesus macaquesinduced humoral and cellular immune responses and provided protectiveefficacy against SARS-CoV-2 rechallenge. These data raise the possibility that immunologic approaches to the prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV-2infection may in fact be possible. However,______5_______ that there areimportant differences between SARS-CoV-2 infection in macaques andhumans, with many parameters still yet to be defined in both species, andthus our data should be interpreted cautiously. Rigorous clinical studies will be required to determine whether SARS-CoV-2 infection effectively protects against SARS-CoV-2 re-exposure in humans.答案:BAEDC91.Rearrange the order of the following sentences to make a coherent andmeaningful abstract.1.These antibodies neutralized 10 representative SARS-CoV-2 strains, suggesting a possible broader neutralizing ability against otherstrains. Three immunizations using two different doses, 3 or 6 micrograms per dose, provided partial or complete protection in macaques against SARS-CoV-2 challenge, respectively, without observable antibody-dependentenhancement of infection.2.The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in an unprecedented public health crisis. Because of the novelty of the virus, there are currently no SARS-CoV-2–specifictreatments or vaccines available.3.Therefore, rapid development of effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 are urgently needed.4.Here, we developed apilot-scale production of PiCoVacc, a purified inactivated SARS-CoV-2 virus vaccine candidate, which induced SARS-CoV-2–specific neutralizingantibodies in mice, rats, and nonhuman primates.5.These data support the clinical development and testing of PiCoVacc for use in humans.答案:2341592.It seems likely that the details of the predictions depend on the assumedvariations of the toughness parameter and the yield stress.答案:It seems likely that93.The Relationships of Meteorological Factors and Nutrient Levels withPhytoplankton Biomass in a Shallow Eutrophic Lake Dominated byCyanobacteria, Lake Dianchi from 1991 to 2013A.

Finally,the reading rooms are not bright enough as some of the lights have gone dark.All these have brought great inconvenience to us students,which leaves me with no choice but to write you this letter.From my perspective,it would be wise for you to offer all the librarians a training course to familiarize them with the layout of the library and the classifications of the books.If possible, I sincerely hope that you consider the possibility of renewing some of the books and maintaining the facilities properly.Thank you for your time and consideration.Look forward to your favorable reply.Warm regards,Li Ming听力Section ANews Report1原文:[1]A new study finds that beverages containing add ed sugar might be harmfuL In the study, researchers a nalyzed information from over eighty thousand wome n and thirty seven thousand men.Participants worked in the health profession.They were followed for appro ximately three decades.

As the monitor, she spends a lot of time working for our class, but she still gets good grades in all subjects. How can she do that? Here is some of her advice. Hard work is not the whole story. It's not how long you sit at the desk. It's 1 you do while you are sitting.Studying is a matter of personal preference(偏爱). Some people like working late at night when the house is 2 ,while others like doing their work 3 in the morning. No matter which way you use, try to do your best.Studying is your business and business comes after entertainment(娱乐). When you are studying, phone calls should go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks uneaten. Studying is the only thing in your mind. 4 should pull you away from what you are studying.Studying is like 5 . You chew(咀嚼)it one bite at a time. You can plan what to do today, but don't do too much. On the other hand, you will not study well without a good plan. It all depends on how you 6 your time.Maybe she is right, so why not have a try?1.A.what B.why C.how D.that2.A.clean B.beautiful C.quiet D.big3.A.alone B.lonely C.quickly D.early4.A.Something B.Anything C.Nothing D.Everything5.A.drinking.

All you have to do is to think of the names for some of the products you buy every day and you'll agree that the name and the product are connected in everyone's mind.In many countries, successful trade or brand(商标)names are protected by law so that other companies cannot make the same product by copying. Businesses register(注册)a company or a product name with the government. In fact, more than 1,000product and company names are registered every hour. Many companies spend a lot of money to find the right name for their products. A good example of this is in the car industry. Some successful names for cars have powerful associations(联系).The Ford Mustang and the Jaguar are only two examples of choosing the names of animals that are fast and strong.When a U.S. company decides to sell its product in another country, it has to make sure that the product name translates properly. When Coca-Cola introduced its soft drink to China it looked for the right name. It wanted a name that would do two things. One was to present its image in Chinese and the second was to be close to its first brand name-Coke. It took some efforts before finding the right word-which sounds similar and translates as "happiness in the mouth". Asian company names are not new to the United States. The brand names of Samsung and Sony have been successful. Finding the right brand name is a big business. Asian companies that sell to foreign markets pay to find a name that will connect with its customers. There are even naming companies that offer help in inventing product names. These companies can charge(要价)up to $ 100,000 a word for their good names. But it's worth it. Successful companies know how important the right brand names are for their development.1.How many brand names are mentioned(提及)in the article?A.Three. B.Four. C.Five. D.Six.2.Trade names are protected by law in many countries .A.to make companies pay for naming serviceB.to help people choose the best productsC.to present good images of the productsD.to prevent products from being copied3.What can we learn from the article?A.Many companies care about the cost of finding the right names.B.Creative trade names can help companies to have a larger sale.C.The government often does business with naming companies.D.It is considered necessary for cars to be named after animals.4.What is the best title for the article?A.The Importance of Right Brand Names B.The Rules of Naming BusinessC.The Development of Brand Names D.The Methods of Choosing NamesC15、Last week, Chicago became the first city in the US to join the “Lights Out Plan”. People turned off the lights in the city’s tallest buildings, so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes. Every year in autumn, some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south, and come back the next spring.Lights mean danger to birds. Birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky. Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars. This means they can not find the right way to go home.This month, about 300 types of birds are flying over Chicago to go back to the south to live through the cold winter. Birds fly to warmer places for a few reasons. Many birds cannot live in the cold, so they fly to warmer places. But there are other reasons,too. Birds need to look for food in the south. Another reason is that they want to have baby birds. Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same “house” they lived in last year, so they fly back there.There are about 9,000 kinds of birds in the world, and about 600 kinds of birds migrate(迁徙). Some birds can fly a very long way. Sometimes they fly to other countries. We have fewer birds today because there are fewer places for birds.1.Why did people in Chicago turn off their lights last week?A.Because people wanted to save money.B.Because people liked the dark night.C.Because people were afraid that birds would make much noise.D.Because people were afraid that birds would lose their way.2.Today we have fewer birds because __________.A.lots of birds are often ill B.people kill lots of birdsC.there are fewer places for birds D.other animals eat them3.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.All birds fly to warmer places every year.B.Some birds have to fly to warmer places in autumn.C.Some birds can fly a long way to other countries.D.About 600 kinds of birds migrate in the world.D16、Chicago is a famous city in the US. If you have a chance to go to the US, it is a good idea to pay a visit to Chicago.Chicago is the third largest city in the US. It is home to people who have migrated from all over the world. People move to Chicago from different places to live with their families or friends who arrived here first. They come by train, plane and ship to live in this great city.The center of Chicago is called The Loop. You can see many tall buildings here, even some of the tallest in the world. As you travel away from The Loop, you will find there are communities of different foreign cultures. But you can’t travel east of The Loop because of Lake Michigan.When you travel south of The Loop, you will find areas like Chinatown. There, people from China celebrate many of the same festivals as people in their hometowns do, for example, the Chinese New Year. They also celebrate the holidays of the US.Chicago is also called the Windy City, so don’t forget to take more clothes with you.1.The underlined word "migrated"means "_____________"in Chinese.A.生长B.移居C.逃离D.改变2.Chinatown is in the _____________ of The Loop.A.south B.north C.east D.west3.After reading the passage, we can know _____________.A.Chicago is the second largest city in the USB.people can’t take ships to ChicagoC.in Chicago we can see all the tallest buildings of the worldD.some people in Chicago celebrate the Chinese New Year4.If we can read the passage in the magazine, the name of the magazine may be "_____________".

The results, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, surprised them. Taking photos actually makes people enjoy what they redoing more, not less.53.

"That gets people more engaged in the experience, and they tend to enjoy it more."54.

It works for things as boring as archaeological (考古的) museums, where people were given eye-tracking glasses and instructed either to take photos or not. "People look longer at things they want to photograph," Diehl says. They report liking the exhibits more, too.55.

The physical act of the snap? No, they found just the act of planning to take a photo—and not actually taking it—had the same joy-boosting effect. "If you want to take mental photos, that works the same way," Diehl says. "Thinking about what you would want to photograph also gets you more engaged."46.

At the time coca leaf extract mixed with wine was a common tonic, and Pemberton's sweet brew was a way to get around local laws prohibiting the sale of alcohol. but the other half of the name represents another ingredient, less infamous(名声不好的), perhaps, but also strangely potent: the kola nut.47. What does the passage say about kola nuts?A.Their commercial value was first discovered by Portuguese settlers.B.They contain some kind of energy boost not found in any other food.C.Many were shipped to Europe in the late 19th century for medicinal use.D.They were strange to the Europeans when first imported from West Africa.47.

They also have heart stimulants.3 Historian Paul Lovejoy relates that the cultivation of kola nuts in West Africa is hundreds of years old. The leafy, spreading trees were planted on graves and as part of traditional rituals. Even though the nuts, which need to stay moist, can be somewhat delicate to transport, traders carried them hundreds of miles throughout the forests and grasslands.4 Europeans did not know of them until the 1500s, when Portuguese ships arrived on the coast of what is now Sierra Leone. And while the Portuguese took part in the trade, ferrying nuts down the coast along with other goods, by 1620, when English explorer Richard Johnson made his way up the Gambia, the nuts were still peculiar to his eyes.5 By the late 19th century, kola nuts were being shipped by the tonne to Europe and the US. Many made their way into medicines, a French product consisting of coca extract mixed with red wine. It was created by a French chemist, Angelo Mariani, in 1863. So when Pemberton created his drink, it represented an ongoing trend. When cocaine eventually fell from grace as a beverage ingredient, kola-extract colas became popular.48.

As it grew more popular, the company sold rights to bottle the soda, so it could travel easily. Today about 1.9 billion Cokes are purchased daily. It’s become so iconic that attempts to change its taste in 1985 – sweetening it in a move projected to boost sales – proved disastrous, with widespread anger from consumers. “Coca-Cola Classic” returned to store shelves just three months after the “New Coke” was released.7 These days, the Coca-Cola recipe is a closely guarded secret. But it’s said to no longer contain kola nut extract, relying instead on artificial imitations to achieve the flavor.55.

In the third quarter, for the first time, transactions on eBay’s marketplace fell 1%, to $14.3 billion, from a year ago. The strength and popularity of Google’s search, Amazon’s sales and the sheer number of other Web retail sites have eroded eBay’s dominance, making it harder to compete with the same business model that steered the firm through its first 10 years of jaw-dropping growth. Three years ago, eBay boasted 30% more traffic than Amazon, but today its 84.5 million active users scarcely best Amazon’s 81 million customers. The troubled economy and weakness in eBay’s core business contributed to a 60% drop in market value this year. Amazon’s market cap topped eBay’s for the first time last summer.

Its flagship stores in major U.S. cities depend heavily on international tourist spending, which shrank at many retailers due to a strong dollar. Meanwhile, Macy’s has simply struggled to lure consumers who are more interested in spending on travel or dining out than on new clothes or accessories.51.

Analysis Centre,California Institute of Technology,Pasadena,CA 91125Draft version February 1,2008ABSTRACTWe present the first results from the COLA (Compact Objects in Low-power AGN)project which aims to determine the relationship between one facet of AGN activity,the compact radio core,with star formation in the circumnuclear region of the host galaxy.This will be accomplished by the comparison of the multi-wavelength properties of a sample of AGN with compact radio cores,to those of a sample of AGN without compact cores and a matched sample of galaxies without AGN.In this paper we discuss the selection criteria for our galaxy samples and present the initial radio observations of the 107Southern (δ<0◦)galaxies in our sample.Low-resolution ATCA observations at 4.8,2.5and 1.4GHz and high resolution,single baseline snapshots at 2.3GHz with the Australian LBA are presented.We find that for the majority of the galaxies in our sample,the radio luminosity is correlated with the FIR luminosity.However,a small number of galaxies exhibit a significant radio excess causing them to depart from the FIR-radio correlation.Compact radio cores are detected at fluxes >1.5mJy in 9of the 105galaxies observed with the LBA.The majority (8/9)of these galaxies exhibit a significant radio excess and 50%(7/14)of the galaxies which lie above the radio-FIR correlation by more than 1σhave compact radio cores.The emission from the compact cores is too weak to account for this radio excess,implying that there are radio structures associated with the compact cores which extend further than the 0.05arcsec resolution (corresponding to a linear scale 11-22pc)of the LBA.There is no evidence that the radio luminosity of the compact cores is correlated with the FIR galaxy luminosity,indicating that the core contributes little to the overall FIR emission of the galaxy.The galaxies with compact cores tend to be classified optically as AGN,with two thirds (6/9)exhibiting Seyfert-like optical emission line ratios,and the remaining galaxies classified either as composite objects (2/9)or starburst (1/9).The galaxies classified optically as AGN also exhibit the largest radio excesses and we therefore conclude that a large radio excess on the radio-FIR correlation is a strong indication of an AGN with a compact radio core.Subject headings:Galaxies:active —galaxies:starburst —-infrared:galaxies —–radio continuum:galaxies1.INTRODUCTIONRecent observations of nearby active galactic nuclei (AGN)have revealed that some,if not most,AGN host galaxies exhibit circumnuclear starburst activity.Exam-ples of this are the circumnuclear ring of star formation found in the Seyfert 1galaxy NGC 7469(Genzel et al.1995),the stellar core (Thatte et al.1997)and extended (≈3kpc from core)star forming region (Telesco &Decher1988)observed in NGC 1068,and the compact starburst found in the extremely luminous Seyfert 2galaxy,Mrk 477(Heckman et al.1997).These starburst regions can account for more than 50%of the galaxy’s bolometric lu-minosity (Genzel et al.1995;Heckman et al.1997).In addition to starburst activity,AGN also exhibit other cir-cumnuclear phenomena such as inner rings (Baum et al.1995;Colina et al.1997),bars (Ho,Fillipenko &Sar-gent 1997;Shlosman,Peletier &Knapen 2000)or spirals1RSAA,Australian National University,Private Bag,Weston Creek PO,ACT 2611,Australia2Deceased3New address:Insitute for Astronomy,Royal Observatory,Blackford Hill,Edinburgh,UK12Corbett et al.(e.g.Colina et al.1997;Colina&Arribas1999;Regan &Mulchaey1999;Martini&Pogge1999).These struc-tures may well be related to the mechanism by which the AGN is fuelled(Ho,Fillipenko&Sargent1997;Maiolino et al.1997;Shlosman,Begelman&Frank1990;Norman &Scoville1988).What is not clear,however,is whether there is a causal connection between the circumnuclear activity and the presence of an AGN.It is possible that the starburst activ-ity precedes the“switching on”of the AGN and one might imagine the scenario of a galaxy interaction causing infall, leading to starburst activity which in turn leads to further infall andfinally to the formation of an AGN(Sanders et al.1988).Certainly Boyle&Terlevich(1998)found a striking similarity between the evolution of the QSO lu-minosity density and the galaxy star formation rate,in-dicating that star formation plays an important role in QSOs.In fact Terlevich et al.(1992)argue that parsec scale starbursts combined with compact supernova rem-nants can reproduce the observed properties of an AGN, eliminating the need for a black hole completely.It is also possible that the star formation activity is actually trig-gered by the disruption of gas caused by the presence of the AGN(e.g.van Bruegel&Dey1993;van Breugal et al.1985)or indeed is unrelated to the presence of the AGN,with mergers creating circumnuclear star formation but the AGN activity maintained by structures which were formed on small scales early on in the galaxy’s life cycle. The primary goal of the COLA project(Compact Ob-jects in Low-power AGN)is to determine the relationship between one characteristic of an AGN,the presence of a compact radio core,with star formation in the circum-nuclear region of the host galaxy.This will be accom-plished by comparison of the multi-wavelength properties of a sample of AGN with compact radio cores,to compar-ison samples,consisting AGN without compact cores and a matched sample of galaxies without AGN.In particular,the circumnuclear regions of the three galaxy groups will be examined for evidence of fueling (or fueling suppression)and the relative prevalence of nu-clear structures such as bars or rings.The internal kine-matic properties of their gas and the spatial distribution of emission mechanisms such as photoionisation and shock-excitation,e.g.ionisation cones,will also be investigated using emission-line imaging and optical spectroscopy.Fi-nally we will aim to establish what differences,if any,ex-ist between the AGN with compact radio cores and those without,and whether their radio structure at pc-and kpc-scales is aligned or associated with any optical structures. In order to avoid biases in our sample we have selected a large initial sample of galaxies from the IRAS Point Source Catalogue(Joint IRAS Science Working Group1988)and determined their properties over a range of wavelengths. It is from this initial sample that the AGN and non-AGN comparison sub-samples will be selected for further study, with the non-AGN galaxies matched to the AGN galax-ies using global,orientation independent measures.The selection criteria used for the individual samples and sub-samples will be discussed in detail in Section2,together with the possible sources of bias.The initial sample of galaxies has been divided into the Northern COLA sample(δ>0o)and the Southern COLA sample(δ<0◦).In this paper we present low resolution radio observations and high resolution long baseline array (LBA)snapshots of the Southern COLA sample.The low resolution observations measure the total radio luminos-ity of the galaxies whereas the LBA snapshots are used to determine which of the galaxies have compact radio cores (<0.08-0.05arcsec in diameter).We discuss the radio and FIR properties of Southern COLA sample as a whole and examine the characteristics of the galaxies in which we detect compact radio cores.Optical spectroscopic obser-vations and CO spectral line measurements have also been obtained for the Southern COLA sample and these will be discussed elsewhere(Corbett et al.,in preparation,and Norris et al.,in preparation).Throughout this paper we have assumed H0=75km s−1Mpc−1and q0=0.5.2.SAMPLE SELECTION AND BIASPrevious investigations into the relationship between AGN and the host galaxy have been biased by the dif-ficulties associated with defining the AGN sample and the matched non-AGN sample.In fact most AGN samples are biased to some degree,having been based on criteria such as UV excess,far-infrared spectral index,etc.For exam-ple,samples of Seyferts are sometimes selected by their far-infrared spectral indices(eg.de Grijp et al1985,Heisler 1991).However,the dusty tori that are postulated to exist in Seyferts may have significant opacity even in the mid-infrared(e.g.NGC4945;Brock et al1988),so that only longer wavelength radiation(>50µm)can be assured of escaping directly.Theoretical models indicate that an increase in the inclination of a dust torus would cause a steepening of far-infrared spectral indices(eg.Pier&Kro-lik1993,Efstathiou&Rowan-Robinson1995)and this is consistent with observational data(Heisler et al.1998, Heisler,Lumsden&Bailey1997).These Seyfert samples would therefore be biased towards objects orientated at a particular range of inclinations.Similarly,galaxies are often classified as AGN or starburst(HII)based on their emission line ratios,following the empirical system devel-oped by Veilleux&Osterbrock(1987).However,galaxies often contain both AGN and starburst regions,thus strad-dling the empirical distinction between starburst and AGN (e.g.,Hill et al.1999;Kewley et al.2000a).Furthermore, if the nuclear regions are obscured by dust,the starburst component may dominate the observed optical spectrum, masking the AGN.The investigations by Hill et al.(1999) have also shown that low metallicity AGN have the poten-tial to be misclassified as starbursts.Finally,investigations using samples of galaxies can also be affected by Malmquist and other distance-dependent biases.For example,the de Grijp et al.(1985)sample has a bias towards warmer objects,and because most of them are close to the IRAS detection limit,the Seyfert1 galaxies selected tend to be slightly more distant and more luminous than the Seyfert2galaxies.It is therefore vital that we consider and eliminate as many of these biases as possible from the COLA sample. To avoid distance-dependent biases,we have selected a large initial sample of galaxies from the IRAS catalogue within a well-defined shell of distance(as given by their heliocentric velocity)and with a far-infrared(FIR)flux limit set sufficiently high for them to be detected easily at optical and radio wavelengths.We have then observedCOLA I-radio observations3these galaxies over a range of wavelengths(a)to determine which galaxies are AGN and(b)to measure orientation independent properties of the galaxies such as the total luminosity at radio and I-Band wavelengths and the total integrated CO luminosity.We will then select the AGN and non-AGN comparison sub-samples for further study, matching the non-AGN galaxies to the AGN galaxies using their orientation independent measures.For this study to be successful,we must establish our AGN selection criteria carefully.As discussed previously, AGN seem to possess a circumnuclear dusty disk or torus, which can obscur the nucleus along certain lines of sight. Thus,defining AGN on the basis of their IR-UV emission can easily introduce an orientation-dependent bias.Ad-ditionally,the optical spectral signature of an AGN can be dominated by circumnuclear star formation.These problems are avoided by observing at radio frequencies. The detection of a high brightness temperature(T>105 K)compact radio core is a strong indication of AGN ac-tivity(Norris et al.1990),and since the effect of dust is negligible at radio wavelengths,it is independent of orien-tation.AGN with such compact radio cores exhibit a ra-dio excess on the radio-FIR correlation(Roy et al.1998). Since the FIR emission is dominated by star-formation activity in the galaxy disk,a radio excess indicates that the AGN rather than the starburst dominates,at least at radio wavelengths,and should be sufficiently powerful to influence the circumnuclear regions of the host galaxy. We have therefore chosen to use the presence of a compact radio core as our principle diagnostic of nuclear activity.2.1.Sample Selection CriteriaThe COLA sample consists of all the objects in the IRAS catalogue with a heliocentric velocity,as given by Strauss et al.(1992),between3500and7000km/s(0.0117<z< 0.0234)and aflux at60µm,S60,>4Jy.This cut-offlimit was chosen as the well known FIR-radio correlation for galaxies indicates that a galaxy in the luminosity and red-shift range of this sample should have a13-cm radioflux in excess of10mJy(Roy et al.1998)and will therefore be detected easily at radio wavelengths with a total on-source integration time of5-6minutes.We further imposed the criterion that the galactic longitude|b|>10◦so that the far-infrared data are not confused by Galactic cirrus.The resulting sample contains217objects of which107have δ<0◦,i.e.are Southern Hemisphere objects. Choosing an appropriateflux limit for the detection of a compact radio core in an AGN is not quite so straight forward.An AGN may contribute any proportion of the total radioflux of a galaxy;for example,the contribu-tion of a weak AGN like that at the centre of our Galaxy would be undetectable in our sample whereas a radio-loud quasar would dominate the emission from the host galaxy. We cannot therefore distinguish cleanly between AGN and non-AGN galaxies,but must instead choose a threshold level of AGN activity above which the AGN is sufficiently dominant to influence with the host galaxy.The challenge is to choose this threshold in an unbiased way.For the Southern COLA sample,we have elected to set the detection limit of a compact core to be1.5mJy at13cm with0.05arcsec resolution(i.e.the ATCA-Tidbinbilla baseline on the Australian LBA).At thisflux level,our FIR selection criterion together with the radio-FIR cor-relation ensures that we will detect any radio core which emits at least15%of the radioflux expected from star for-mation activity.This detection threshold is well-matched to optical spectroscopic classification,since Kewley et al. (2000b)have shown the spectrum of a galaxy containing an AGN with15%of the luminosity of the starburst activ-ity in the galaxy would be spectroscopically classified as an AGN.We cannot,of course,rule out the existence of a very low-power AGN below our sensitivity limit.However, such objects are unlikely to dominate either our control sample or the energetics of the host galaxy in which they reside.The LBA observations are made at13cm wave-lengths(2.3GHz)because,although these objects are gen-erally brighter at longer wavelengths with a mean spectral index of∼0.7,free-free absorption(or synchrotron self-absorption)can reduce the observedflux at wavelengths from20cm above.2.2.Potential Sources of Bias2.2.1.The60µm Flux LimitImposing the FIRflux cut-offusing IRAS data results in the selected galaxies having FIR luminosities>1010.5 L⊙,significantly larger than for“normal”galaxies(e.g. the Shapely-Ames sample).Since there is a correlation between FIR luminosity and the60/100µm color it is to be expected that that galaxies in the COLA sample will be warmer than galaxies selected without an IR cut-off.This is indeed the case as the distribution of IRAS60/100µm color temperatures for the COLA sample shows that the COLA galaxies are,on average warmer than samples of “normal”galaxies(Fig.1).The high FIR luminosity of the COLA galaxies also re-sults in an enhanced fraction of interacting galaxies in our sample.For example,from V-band images obtained at the E.W.Fick Observatory,we estimate that out of a total of111Northern COLA galaxies,44(40%)are obviously involved in either tidal interaction or a major merger,and a further23(20%)are in apparently non-interacting,but often widely separated pairs(Appleton et al.,in prepara-tion).Finally,the IRAS telescope was only capable of resolv-ing emission from galaxies if they were separated by more than4arcminutes at100µm.Hence,in paired systems both galaxies are often within the IRAS beam.It is un-known whether either of the galaxies would have met the selection criterion if isolated and it is therefore impossible to determine whether this will introduce significant bias into our sample.2.2.2.Non-AGN coresObservations by Kewley et al.(2000a)of a sample of 61luminous infrared galaxies have revealed compact ra-dio cores(<0.1arcsec in diameter)in37%of galaxies classified as starburst from optical spectroscopic observa-tions and80%of the galaxies classified optically as AGN. The radio luminosity distribution of the compact cores was found to be bimodal with the compact cores in the star-burst galaxies tending to be less luminous(<104L⊙)than those detected in the AGN.Although the radio cores in these starburst galaxies could be obscured AGN,Kewley et al.concluded that they were more likely to be complexes4Corbett et al.of extremely luminous supernovae such as those seen in Arp220(Lonsdale,Smith&Lonsdale1993;Smith,Lons-dale&Lonsdale1998).We therefore need to avoid contaminating the COLA sample with such objects and detect only bonafide AGN. Detection of a compact core depends,of course,on its in-trinsic luminosity and redshift.With a detection limit of 1mJy and a resolution of0.1arcsec,the galaxies optically classified as starburst with compact cores make up less than15%(1/8)of the detected objects at a redshift> 0.01in the Kewley et al.sample.Given that the SNR candidates tend to have compact cores<104L⊙,corresponding to1.5mJy at the upper redshift limit of our sample(7000km s−1),raising the de-tection limit to1.5mJy for the COLA sample should re-duce the number of these objects in our sample.Addi-tionally,the increased resolution of the ATCA-Tidbinbilla LBA(0.05arcsec,equating to15pc at the lower limit of the redshift range of our sample)may resolve out some of the members of supernovae complexes,resulting in fewer SNR candidates being detected.We therefore believe that the LBA detections for the COLA galaxies will not be significantly contaminated by these putative complexes of supernovae.2.2.3.Relativistic BeamingUsing compact cores to define AGN activity does have some potential to introduce bias into the COLA sample. If,as is believed to be the case for the majority of objects (Ulvestad et al.1999,Mundell et al.2000),the compact radio cores observed in Seyferts are the base of a radio jet,relativistic beaming may introduce an orientation bias. The relativistic velocity of the particles in the jet will di-rect the majority of the emission along the jet axis and we are therefore more likely to detect Seyferts with radio jets aligned close to the line of sight than those in which the radio jet is perpendicular to the observer.In the context of AGN unification this would result in more cores being detected in Seyfert1s than Seyfert2s.Nagar et al.(2000) detected compact(<0.2arcsec)cores at15GHz in57% of their sample of Seyferts,LINERS and“transition ob-jects”(i.e.galaxies whose optical spectral line ratios lie on the AGN/starburst partition)and83%of the sources de-tected hadflat spectra,usually indicative of synchrotron self-absorption and often taken to mean that the jet axis is closely aligned to the line-of-sight.However,Roy et al.(2001)have shown that theseflat-spectrum cores are more likely to be caused by free-free absorption than by synchrotron self-absorption.Furthermore,Roy&Norris (1994)have found that in their survey of over200Seyfert galaxies,compact cores appeared to be more common in Sy2s than Sy1s.In fact there appears to be growing ev-idence that those radio jets observed in Seyferts are not relativistic(Ulvestad et al.1999),removing the possibility that Doppler boosting of the core emission will introduce an orientation bias to our sample.It therefore seems unlikely that relativistic beaming will cause a bias towards objects with jets close to the line of sight,but any evidence for a higher number of Seyfert1s than Seyfert2s in our survey,or a higher detection rate for compact cores inflat spectrum sources,would be a cause for concern.2.2.4.VariabilityIt is possible that the compact cores in our sources may be variable.In general,radio quiet galaxies are not highly variable at radio wavelengths,as is demonstrated by the repeated observations of well-known sources such as NGC1068,and the overall consistency of repeated ob-servations similar to those presented here by Roy et al. (1994),Kewley et al.(2000),and Norris et al.(2001). However,some examples of variability are known.For ex-ample,Wrobel(2000)found that the8.4GHzflux density of the central nucleus of the Seyfert1galaxy,NGC5548, varied by about∼50%over a period of4.1yr and33% over a period of41days at500mas and1250mas resolu-tion.This variability was reduced to19%at4.9GHz. NGC5548is well known as a highly variable Seyfert and it is unlikely that any of the sources in our survey will display such extreme behaviour.Falcke et al.(2000a,b)and Nagar et al.2000have conducted a study of the radio properties of two different sets of AGN.Thefirst group consisted of30objects se-lected as representative of the radio-quiet,radio-loud and radio intermediate classes of AGN.With a few exceptions the great majority of these objects have a varibility of less than10%(when normalised to take into account the measurement errors).Their second group of objects(Fal-cke et al.2000b)consisted of a sample of low luminosity, nearby AGN.They found that the incidence of variability in these objects was much higher than for thefirst sam-ple,although again the majority of the objects(∼55%) exhibited variability of25%or less.None of these objects exhibited variability of more than70%.Variability of20-50%in the compact cores of our galax-ies is unlikely to make a statistical difference to our sample as a whole.The worst possible scenario would be that an AGN would happen to have a coreflux below our detec-tion limit when we observed it,but this would only occur if the AGNflux was usually close to our detection limit,i.e 50%variability in a1.5mJy source might cause us to re-ject it should we observe it in a weak state whereas a4mJy compact source which exhibits the same level of variability would always be detected.We therefore believe that ra-dio variability will have little effect on the outcome of this study but we intend to return to some sources to check for significant variations.2.2.5.Free-free absorptionThe advantage of using radio observations to probe the nuclei of starburst and active galaxies is that radio waves are unaffected by the many magnitudes of extinction due to dust in the cores of these galaxies.However,radio waves are subject to free-free absorption by ionised gas along the line of sight.Generally,the densities of ionised gas are not sufficient to cause appreciable free-free absorption at cen-timeter wavelengths,but Condon et al.(1991)reported a deficit in radio emission of some starburst galaxies at1.49 GHz,which he interpreted in terms of free-free absorption. Free-free absorption has since been seen directly in VLBA images of Seyferts by Roy et al.(1999;2001).However,it is important to note that in no case did free-free absorp-tion render a Seyfert galaxy invisible to VLBI baselines. Instead,the free-free absorption covers only a part of the source in the images produced by Roy et al.,and in all ofCOLA I-radio observations5those cases the source would still be detectable by the ob-servations described here,although at a slightly lowerflux density than would be observed in the absence of free-free absorption.3.OBSERVATIONS3.1.ATCA observationsThe Australia Telescope Compact Array in the750con-figuration was used to obtain low resolution images of107 galaxies in our sample at4.8GHz,2.5GHz and1.4GHz (6-,13-and21-cm).Data from Antenna6(the6km tele-scope)were excluded and hence the largest baseline was 643m.This compact configuration was chosen so that the extended emission from the galaxies would be unresolved and thus the total integratedflux of the galaxies could be measured easily.The4.8GHz observations were con-ducted on1998June23using2IFs with a bandwidth of 132MHz and central frequencies of4.8GHz and4.93GHz respectively.The2.5GHz and1.4GHz observations were obtained simultaneously on1998July8-9&27-31witha bandwidth of132MHz at each frequency.Additional2.46GHz(132MHz bandwidth)observations of53sources were obtained in1998September19-20during our LBA observing program and were combined with the1998July data to improve the UV-coverage.The ATCA configuration gave a nominal beam diam-eter of10arcsec but,due to the difficulties involved in obtaining images of more than one hundred galaxies over a wide range of declinations,the beam was often highly ellipitical.Thus the major axis of the beam was often be-tween100-150arcsecs(40-60Kpc at the redshift range of our sample)at4.8GHz.The galaxies were typically observed for120s per scan at4.8GHz and80s at2.5GHz and1.4GHz.A total of6scans per source were taken at different hour angles. The primary calibrator was PKS1934-638and secondary calibrators were observed regularly at approximately20 minute intervals.The data were reduced and calibrated according to standard AIPS procedures and the central region containing the target was cleaned and mapped us-ing the CLEANfit algorithm,with no self calibration per-formed.The mean rms sensitivity was typically0.7mJy at4.8GHz,0.6mJy at2.5GHz and significantly larger at 1.4GHz cm(∼1mJy).At the resolution of the observations,the vast majority of the galaxies were point sources and hence theirflux den-sities were estimated byfitting a two dimensional Gaus-sian to the cleaned images and measuring the peak and integratedflux density.Sources were detected if the peak and/or integratedflux exceeded5times the RMS level of the map.3.2.Australian LBA Observations Snapshot observations of the southern COLA galaxies were obtained with the Australian Long Baseline Array (LBA)to search for compact cores.The observations split into two observing runs with similar setups and separated by nearly two years.On1998September19&20,53 galaxies were observed at2.3GHz with an effective band-width of16MHz using the ATCA-Tidbinbilla telescopes. These telescopes form a566km baseline providing a0.05 arcsec fringe-spacing.Each target source was observed for between20∼24minutes,and only the right hand circular polarization state was obtained from the receivers.Phase calibrators,selected from Duncan et al.(1993)or the LBA calibrator source list,were observed for approximately10 minutes every4-8hours during the run.These were all objects known to have compact cores brighter<1Jy and believed to have little extendedflux.In2000July LBA ob-servations of the remaining COLA galaxies were obtained, again at2.3GHz with a16MHz bandwidth and this time both left and right polarisation data were collected.Due to scheduling constraints only42galaxies were observed with the ATCA-Tidbinbilla baseline with the remaining 12galaxies observed using the ATCA and Parkes tele-scopes,providing a baseline of321km(0.08arcsec reso-lution).There was an overlap period of5.5hrs when all three telescopes were used,but for consistency only the ATCA-Tidbinbilla baseline data,when available,are pre-sented.Four galaxies observed during the1998LBA run were re-observed in order to provide internal calibration of the two samples.For the ATCA-Tidbinbilla observations, the total on source integration time was25minutes and phase calibrators were observed for10minutes at intervals of3-4hours.For the ATCA-Parkes observations the total on source integration time was approximately45minutes with phase calibrators observed for10minutes at intervals of4-5hours.The observations were correlated using the ATNF S2 correlator and reduced in the standard fashion.To remove residual delays and phase errors,the fringes were searched in delay space using the AIPS procedure “FRING”(Schwab&Cotton1983).Fringe detections with a S/N ratio greater than5were then used to calibrate the delays via the AIPS procedure“CLCAL”,interpolat-ing between solutions with a low order polynomial.At this stage,the data were corrected forflux variations over the bandpass,but no absoulteflux calibration was applied. The frequency channels were then averaged spectrally and split into the individual sources.To determine whether a compact core had been detected,an AIPS pro-cedure called“FRPLOT”was used to plot the fringe rates of the data with a detection indicated by a large spike in flux close to the phase center.Each polarization and,in the case of those sources observed with all three telescopes, each baseline was examined separately.The totalflux of the detected compact cores was measured by averaging the visibility data so that bad data caused,e.g.by the tempo-rary loss of one antenna or delays in driving the telescope, could be detected by eye andflagged.The majority of fringe rate detections for both the tar-get sources and calibrators were found to be within2mHz of the phase center,but a few sources exhibit detection spikes up to17mHz from the zero-point.The main cause of this was a shift between the actual source position and the position for which the data had been correlated.For the1998run,the positions derived from IRAS measure-ments were used to set the phase centers and due to the uncertainty in these measurements it is not surprising that there was some discrepancy between the radio and the IR positions.Additionally it is also possible that the poly-nomialfit to the solutions from the fringefitting was not optimal and caused a slight shift.For the2000observa-tions,the source position measured from the4.8GHz radio。
