Part IV Reading Comprehension (40%)（每题2分，共20题，总共40分）Directions: Read the passages. Choose the best answer.Being Thrifty Is Green and Cool1 There is a popular saying that“one man’s garbage is another man’s gold.”I like being thrifty and my hobby is to “make the most from the least”in my life. I pursue the following as hobbies.2 Buy second-hand items. People throw away clothes, shoes and bags when they can still be worn. These items are often sold at a cheaper price in flea markets or charity stores than when you bought them new. Once in a second-hand market, I got an outfit at a very low price to wear for attending a public lecture.Recycling items in this way, rather than buying new ones, is very environmentally friendly. Also, vintage clothing and retro fashion are trendy right now, with a huge number of followers across the world.3 Share items. Some domestic products are not often used.CDs, magazines and books have the same fate. Sharing these items with a“share group”on the Internet or with friends is a good way to get the best value from the product and is cheaper than everyone buying one.4 Clothes swaps. A group of friends get together with the items of clothing they no longer wear, which others can then take home. It is fun and also a great way to revive your wardrobe without going shopping.5 Grow plants and flowers. If you have a balcony in your home, growing green plants or flowers is a good way to enrich your life. It’s good exercise and is a chance to enjoy the sunshine and labor, something people don’t have the opportunity to do frequently. You can also buy plants to grow inside. The seeds that you buy are cheaper than buying a plant from a shop that’s already grown. I also advise transplanting wild ones from the field into our home, which can flourish better than the ones from the shop and require less care. I give plants and flowers I have grown as gifts to my friends.What message does the author have for us?A. His hobbies are good for environmental protection.B. He likes to make gold from garbage.C. Growing plants and flowers can refresh the atmosphere indoors.D. People can do many things to save money and time.

Tens of thousands of young in Britain who are struggling with their mental health are seeking help online for problems such as anxiety, self-harm, and depression.Soaring numbers of under-18s are turning to apps, online counselling and “mood diaries” to help them manage and recover from conditions that have left them feeling low, isolated and, in some cases, suicidal.A generation of young people are attracted by being able to receive fast, personal care and advice using their phone rather than having to wait up to 18 months to be treated by an NHS mental heath professional.The shift comes as ministers prepare themselves for publication on Thursday of the first new figures for 13 years showing how common mental health problems are in the young mainly as a result of the emergence of social media and its use in fuelling feelings of inadequacy.The number of under-18s using Kooth, a free online counselling(咨询的)service, has shot up from 20,000 in 2015 to 65,000 last year, and is forecast to rise further to 100,000 this year.One hundred NHS clinical commissioning groups across England, more than half the total, have now commissioned the service. It helps young people suffering from anxiety, low mood, poor self-worth or confidence, self-harm and loneliness.“Young people like the fact they can talk to a counsellor either instantly, or within 10 minutes, for up to an hour in the evenings. They love that immediacy”，said Aaron Sefi, the research and evaluation director at XenZone, the company behind Kooth.“They also love the anonymity involved, because they can sign up without giving their personal details. Plus, they’re in control, because they are choosing to contact us rather than being told to do so.”In addition, 123,138 people in the UK download. Calm Harm, an NHS-approved app that helps people self-harm less often or not at all, between April 2017 and this month.“Users tell us that Calm Harm helps with suicidal thoughts and intent,” said Dr. Nihara Krause, the consultant clinical psychologist who developed the app. “Currently 92% of our users, who are mainly female and often aged 15-21, say the urge reduced.”Calm Harm is among 18 apps that NHS England has endorsed(支持)to help cope with mental ill-health. They also include Bluelce, which helps young people manage their emotions using a mood diary and automatic routing(自动转接) to emergency help numbers if their urges to self-harm continue.Experts welcomed the trend but warned that online help must complement, not replace, face-to-face appointments with therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists.“Most young people spend much of their time online, and it can feel easier for them to communicate through messaging and online services than face-to-face,” said Tom Madders, campaigns director at Young Minds, which helps people under 26.“Evidence-based mental health apps and online support services can be really beneficial in helping young people to look after their own mental health, develop strategies for coping with difficult emotions, and get accessible information and advice when they need it.”Claire Murdoch, NHS England’s national mental health director, said: “Technology is constantly evolving and young people are usually at the forefront, so it’s no surprise increasing numbers are turning to services like these which can certainly play a part, particularly when backed up by face-to-face support.”The NHS’s forthcoming long-term plan, due next month, will “harness(利用)all of the benefits these advancements can bring”，she added.Meanwhile, 37% of the young people referred to NHS child and adolescent mental health services (Camhs) in England last year were refused help, the children’s commissioner has revealed.In an analysis of Camhs care published on Thursday, the children’s commissioner for England, Anne Longfield, says that despite promises by politicians and NHS bosses to improve access, “a vast gap remains between what is provided and what children need”.While she found improvements in several areas of care, including care for eating disorders, new mothers and under- 18s in the criminal justice system, overall “the current rate of progress is still not good enough for the majority of children who require help but are not receiving it”.【1】Online help can be characterized as .______A. instant, confidential and controllableB. attractive, convenient and symbolicC. effective, accessible and controversialD. considerate, authentic and impractical【2】Teenagers suffer from mental problems mainly because______ .A. they lack professional guidanceB. they tend to be more self-centredC. social media make them feel less confidentD. social media keep them distant from each other【3】Calm Harm helps teenagers to_____.A. keep a journal of their moodsB. manage their feeling of stressC. reduce the urge to harm themselvesD. improve their self-identity and confidence【4】Experts believe that online help can______.A. strengthen bonds between teenagers with mental illnessesB. play a role in pushing forward the cutting-edge advanceC. replace face-to-face appointments with professionalsD. serve as a complement to face-to-face appointments【5】According to Anne Longfield, NHS child and adolescent mental health services ______.A. have lived up to their expectations and promisesB. are reluctant to help teenagers with mental illnessesC. will complete their ambitious forthcoming long-term planD. need to struggle to meet the increasing needs of teenagers【6】What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The popularity of online apps in treating teenagers’ mental illnesses.B. The contrasts between online help services and face-to-face support.C. The influence of teenagers’ mental illnesses on online help services.D. The drawbacks with the existing adolescent mental health services.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
