1、The Beginning of American LiteratureAmerican has always been a lａｎｄ　of beginnings. After Europeans "discovered" America in the fifteenth century, the mysterious New World became fｏｒmany people a genuine hope of a new life, an escape from poverty ａｎｄ　persecution, a chance to start again. We can say that, as nation, America begins with that hope. When, however, does American literature begin?American literature begins with American experiences. Long before the first colonists arrived, before Christopher Columbus, before the Northmen who "found" America about the year 1,000, Native Americans lived here. Each tribe\'s literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life ａｎｄ　reflected the unmistakably American experience of lining with the land. Another kind of experience, one filled with fear ａｎｄ　excitement, found its expression in the reports that Columbus ａｎｄ　other explorers sent home in Spain, French ａｎｄ　English. In addition, the journals of the people who lived ａｎｄ　died in the New Englａｎｄ　wilderness tell unforgettable tales of hard ａｎｄ　sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years.Experience, then, is the key to early American literature. The New World provided a great variety of experiences, ａｎｄ　these experiences demanded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early American writers. These writers included John Smith, who spent only two-and-a-half years on the American continent. They included Jonathan Edwards ａｎｄ　William Byrd, who thought of themselves as British subjects, never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own. American Indians, explorers, Puritan ministers, frontier wives, plantation owner-they are all the creators of the first American literature.When did American literature begin?【单选题】

A.Before the American natives lived there.

B.When Columbus ａｎｄ　other explorers sent reports back home

C.When the Northmen found America in about 1,000.

D.Long before the year 1,000.

正确答案:D

答案解析:答案在第2段的第2句，早在1000年前北欧人声称发现了美洲大陆之前，这块土地上就有美洲印第安人居住，美洲文学早在那时就已经产生。

2、Fighting fｏｒa Brighter Future fｏｒWomenWhen I was asked what it means to be a woman running fｏｒpresident, I always gave the same answer that I was proud to be running as a woman, but I was running because thought I\'d be the best president.But I am a woman and, like millions of women, I know there are still barriers ａｎｄ　biases (偏见) out there, often unconscious, ａｎｄ　I want to build an America that respects ａｎｄ　embraces the potential of every last one of us.I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of. I ran as a mother who worried about my daughter\'s future ａｎｄ　a mother who wants to leave all children brighter tomorrows.To build that future I see, we must make sure that women ａｎｄ　men understａｎｄ　the struggles of their grandmothers ａｎｄ　their mothers, ａｎｄ　that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, ａｎｄ　equal respect.Let us resolve ａｎｄ　work toward achieving very simple propositions (命题): there are no acceptable limits, ａｎｄ　there are no acceptable prejudices in the 21 st century in our country.You can also be so proud of it, from now on, it will be unremarkable fｏｒa woman to win primary state victories, unremarkable to let a woman in a close race to be our nominee (被提名者), unremarkable to think that a woman can be the president of the United States. ａｎｄ　this is truly remarkable my friends.We are disappointed that we couldn\'t go all of the way, especially the young people who put so much into this campaign. It would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours.We always aim high, work hard, ａｎｄ　care deeply about what you believe in. ａｎｄ　when you stumble (绰倒), keep faith. And, when you\'re knocked down, get right back up ａｎｄ　never listen to anyone who says you can\'t ｏｒshouldn\'t go on.As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman will leave the Earth ａｎｄ　orbit (绕轨道运行) overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.Hillary Clinton believed that if she were elected president of the United States, she would be the best.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题的难度不大，答案依据就在文章第一段。第一段最后一句谈到，我参加竞选是因为我相信我会是最棒的总统，所以本题正确，答案是A。

3、A Country\'s Standard of LivingThe "standard of living" of any country means the average person\'s share of the goods ａｎｄ　services the country produces. A country\'s standard of living, therefore, depends first on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, fｏｒwe do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods such as food ａｎｄ　clothing", ａｎｄ　"services" such as transport ａｎｄ　entertainment.A country\'s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country\'s natural resources. Some region of the world are well supplied with coal ａｎｄ　minerals, ａｎｄ　have fertile (肥沃的) soil ａｎｄ　a favorable climate, other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use, China is perhaps as rich as the USA in natural resources, but suffered fｏｒmany years from civil ａｎｄ　external wars, Fｏｒthis ａｎｄ　other reasons it was unable to develop her resources. Sound ａｎｄ　stable political conditions, ａｎｄ　freedom from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully ａｎｄ　steadily, to produce more wealth than other country.A country\'s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced ａｎｄ　consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is directly produced through international trade. Fｏｒexample, Britain\'s wealth in foodstuffs ａｎｄ　other agricultural ____ would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible fｏｒher surplus (剩余的) manufactured goods to be traded abroad fｏｒthe agricultural products which would otherwise be lacking. A country\'s wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, providing that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.【单选题】

A.organizations

B.resources

C.products

D.labors

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题有一定难度，干扰项干扰较大，要认真阅读原文。此处是说如果英国仅依靠国内生产的话，在食品和农产品上的财富就会少得多，此处要使用“产品”的含义，不是使用resources，资源，所以最佳答案是C。

4、CultureCulture is one of the most challenging elements of the international marketplace. This system of learned behaviｏｒpatterns characteristic of the members of a shaped by a ｓｅｔof dynamic variables: language, religion, values ａｎｄ　attitudes, manners ａｎｄ　customs, aesthetics, technology, education, ａｎｄ　social institutions. To cope with this system, an international manager needs both factual ａｎｄ　interpretive knowledge of culture. To some extent, the factual knowledge can be learned; its interpretation comes only through experience.The most complicated problems in dealing with the cultural environment stem from the fact that one cannot learn culture one has to live it. Two schools of thought exist in the business world on how to deal with cultural diversity. One is that business is business the world around, following the model of Pepsi ａｎｄ　McDonald\'s. In some cases, globalization is a fact of life; however, cultural differences are still far from converging.The other school proposes that companies must tailｏｒbusiness approaches to individual cultures. Setting up policies ａｎｄ　procedures in each country has been compared to an organ transplant; the critical question centers around acceptance ｏｒrejection. The majｏｒchallenge to the international manager is to make sure that rejection is not a result of cultural myopia ｏｒeven blindness.Fortune examined the international performance of a dozen large companies that earn 20 percent ｏｒoverseas. The internationally successful companies all share an important quality: patience. They have not rushed into situations but rather built their operations carefully by following the most basic business principles. These principles are to know your adversary, know your audience, ａｎｄ　know your customer.This article is supposed. to be most useful fｏｒthose _____.【单选题】

A.who are interested in researching the topic of cultural diversity

B.who have connections to more than one type of culture

C.who want to travel abroad

D.who want to run business on International Scale

正确答案:D

答案解析:由文中的例子可以知道，不是研究多种文化形态，而是文化背景对商业运作的影响，所以D是正确答案。

5、The Race into SpaceAmerican millionaire Dennis Tito will always be famous. He was the first tourist in space. "I spent sixty years on Earth ａｎｄ　eight days in space ａｎｄ　from my viewpoint, it was two separate lives," Tito explained. He loved his time in space. "Being in space ａｎｄ　looking back at earth is one of the most rewarding experiences a human being can have."This kind of experience isn\'t cheap. It cost $ 20 million. However, Tito achieved his dream, so he was happy. "Fｏｒme it was a life dream.

The company has around 100 people already on their waiting list fｏｒflights into space. The spaceship to take them doesn\'t exist yet.Many of the customers are people who like adventure. They are the kind of people who also want to climb Mount Qomolangma. Other customers are people who love space. However, these people are worried. Because it’s so expensive, only very rich people can go into space. They want space travel to be available to more people.That day may soon be here. Inter Orbital Systems (IOS) plans to send up to four tourists a week into space. The tours will depart from an islａｎｄ　in Tonga. The company promises a package that includes forty-five days of astronaut training in Russia ａｎｄ　California, seven days in space, ａｎｄ　a vacation in Tonga, fｏｒ$2 million.However, space flight is still very dangerous. Bill Readdy is NASA\'s deputy assistant administratｏｒfｏｒspace flight. He says that the chances of dying are about 1 in 500. Because of this, it may take time before space tourism really takes off. You might be able to go up, but will you come down?Both Tito ａｎｄ　Shuttleworth have climbed Mount Qomolangma.【单选题】

9、Gun Rights in the USImmediately after the shooting at Virginia Tech University, Americans gathered to mourn (致哀) the dead. The president ａｎｄ　the state governer both hurried there to share the grief. But the majority of Americans still cling to their right to own weapons.Strictly speaking, the US is not the only country here gun violence has destroyed lives, families ａｎｄ　communities in everyday circumstance. But the US is one of the few countries that seem unwilling ａｎｄ　politically incapable of doing anything serious to stop it.In countries like Britain ａｎｄ　Canada, the government adopted strict gun control soon after serious gun violence incidents. US leaders, however, are held hostage by the gun lobby (院外活动集团) ａｎｄ　the electoral (选举) system.The powerful National Rifle Association, the majｏｒsupporter of gun rights in the US, is too strong fｏｒany party to take on. Most Republicans oppose gun control anyway. Over the years, the Democrats have found that they can either campaign fｏｒgun control ｏｒwin power, not both, they prefer power.According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, firearm (火器) incidents accounted fｏｒnine percent of the 4.7 million violent crimes in 2005. So although opinion polls show most Americans want stricter gun laws, many people don\'t want to give up their arms they ____ to protect themselves.Dave Hancock, a Virginia gun lover, is one example. In an interview he said, "If one professｏｒin the Virginia incident had been carrying a legal weapon, they might have been able to stop all this. "In his opinion, the massacre (大屠杀) is an argument fｏｒmore people to carry weapons, not fewer.Americans\' clinging to the right to bear arms is not just a fear of crime, but a mistrust of government, commented UK\'s Guardian newspaper.One Virginia resident, who had a permit to carry a concealed (隐藏的) firearm, told the Guardian that it was every American\'s responsibility to have a gun."Each person," he said, "should not rely solely on the government fｏｒprotection."【单选题】

A.hide

B.buy

C.keep

D.sell

正确答案:C

10、Travel Across AfricaFｏｒsix hours we shot through the barren (荒芜的) landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks ａｎｄ　sａｎｄ　ａｎｄ　baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel ａｎｄ　I just wanted to remember all we had seen ａｎｄ　done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks ａｎｄ　was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I\'d bought in a market in Mozambique.Southern Africa was full of stories ａｎｄ　visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring (咆哮) of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.ａｎｄ　then the other things, dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto livng in one room, a kilometre from clean water.As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty ａｎｄ　we hadn\'t seen another car fｏｒhours. ａｎｄ　as I drove, something caught my eye. Something moved close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn\'t know how long they had been there next to us.I shouted to Dan: "Look!" But he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car fｏｒa few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened."Wild horses?" he said. "Why didn\'t you wake me up, Sophia?""I tried, but they were gone after a few seconds.""Are you sure you didn\'t dream it?""You were the one who was sleeping!""Typical," he said, "The best photos are the ones we never take."We checked into a dusty hotel ａｎｄ　slept the sleep of the dead.The horses didn\'t come near the car.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题难度也不大，认真阅读文章后半部分不难找到答案。答案依据是，They raced the car fｏｒa few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, race这里是“追逐”的意思。
