    The English translations of the names of traditional Chinese dishes on menus(菜单) across the country have caused public discussion about the precision(准确) of the translations.
    Since more and more foreigners come to China every day, many restaurants around China are providing English translations of their menus. They want to make it easier for foreigners to order Chinese dishes when they travel. Some restaurants also hope that the translations will increase foreigners’ knowledge of Chinese cuisine(烹饪).
    But an article in China Youth Daily says the English menu translations haven’t live up to public expectation（期望）. It argues most of the English names of Chinese dishes lack the cultural meaning and attraction of the dishes they describe. Instead, the translations only provide a list of each dish’s ingredients（配方）, the article notes. For example, one English name of a Chinese dish appears as “stir-fried mutton slice with Chinese onion and green scallion(葱爆羊肉)”.
    Because the English translation focuses only on the ingredients, it fails to describe the dish’s rich cultural meaning and charm(魅力). The dish’s beautiful Chinese name, “Fo Tiao Qiang(佛跳墙)”, has a story behind it. Buddhist monks (和尚) are required to eat vegetables only , but they can’t resist(忍住)the delicious dish. So they jump over the temple walls to get a taste of the dish.
    The article suggests that translators provide more beautiful translations of the names of Chinese dishes. It also notes a more vivid(生动的) English translation is very important to provide international visitors with a better understanding of Chinese cuisine.
    小题1:Why do many restaurants provide English translations of their menu ?
    A．Because they want to show their ingredients in dishes.
    B．Because the public expect them to do so.
    C．Because Chinese dishes are popular.
    D．Because it is convenient for foreigners to order food.
    小题2:According to China Youth Daily, what is the main problem of the English menu translation?
    A．They are too long to remember.
    B．Many of them are not correct.
    C．They lack cultural meaning and attraction.
    D．They are difficult to learn.
    小题3:What can we infer from the story of “Fo Tiao Qiang” dish?
    A．Monks can jump high.
    B．Monks lived a poor life.
    C．Old China had little meat for people.
    D．The dish attracted many people because it’s delicious.

    小题1:D
    小题2:C
    小题3:D

    试题分析：本文讲述的是很多中国餐厅所提供的英文菜名缺乏中国的文化气息，文章中还列举了多个例子进行详细说明。
    小题1:D 细节题。根据文章第二段第2句They want to make it easier for foreigners to order Chinese dishes when they travel可知餐厅这样做的目的就是为外国人点菜提供方便。故D正确。

    August was one of the nastiest months I can remember: torrential rain; a hailstorm or two; cold, bitter winds; and mists. But we are accustomed to such weather in England. Lord Byron used to say that an English summer begins on July 31 and ends on Aug. 1. He called 1816 "the year without a summer." He spent it gazing across Lake Geneva, watching the storms, with 18-year-old Mary Shelley. The lightening flickering across the lake inspired her Frankenstein, the tale of the man-made monster galvanized into life by electricity.
    This summer's atrocious weather tempted me to tease a Green whom I know. "Well, what about your weather theory now?" (One of the characteristics of Greens is that they know no history.) He replied: "Yes, this weather is unprecedented. England has never had such an August before. It's global warming, of course." That's the Greens' stock response to anything weather-related. Too much sun? "Global warming." Too little sun? "Global warming." Drought? "Global warming." Floods? "Global warming." Freezing cold? "Global warming."
    I wish the great philosopher Sir Karl Popper were alive to denounce the unscientific nature of global warming. He was a student when Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity was first published and then successfully tested. Einstein said that for his theory to be valid it would have to pass three tests. "If," Einstein wrote to British scientist Sir Arthur Eddington, "it were proved that this effect does not exist in nature, then the whole theory would have to be abandoned."
    The idea that human beings have changed and are changing the basic climate system of the Earth through their industrial activities and burning of fossil fuels--the essence of the Greens' theory of global warming--has not much basis in science. Global warming, like Marxism, is a political theory of actions, demanding compliance with its rules.
    Those who buy in to global warming wish to drastically curb human economic and industrial activities, regardless of the consequences for people, especially the poor. If the theory's conclusions are accepted and agreed upon, the destructive results will be felt most severely in those states that adhere to the rule of law and will observe restrictions most faithfully. The global warming activists' target is the U.S. If America is driven to accept crippling restraints on its economy it will rapidly become unable to shoulder its burdens as the world's sole superpower and ultimate defender of human freedoms. We shall all suffer, however, as progress falters and then ceases and living standards decline.
    小题1: The writer of the passage is probably _______.
    A．one of the “Greens”
    B．an American
    C．not quite a believer in Global Warming
    D．an environmentalist
    小题2:Which person(s), in the writer’s eyes, is the one he agrees with?  
    A．Karl MarxB．Sir Karl PopperC．The GreensD．Mary Shelley
    小题3:Sir Arthur Eddington could be inferred as a ______.
    A．politicianB．poetC．GreenpeacerD．physicist
    小题4:“denounce”  in the third paragraph can be replaced by ______.
    A．announceB．pronounce
    C．speak out forD．speak out against
    小题5: Which of the following is probably a good title for this article?
    A．Why Einstein’s Theory Stands the Tests.
    B．Which Country the “Greens” Are Attacking?
    C．Global Warming? I See Little Point.
    D．The Climate in England and beyond.

    When it comes to human resources, hiring highly-skilled staff is not usually enough for a company to function successfully. Besides the knowledge in their particular fields, employees must always have additional skills-----those of co-operation. In the case that work tasks can only be carried out by communicating with people, accepting common decisions, solving problems, sharing information and helping one another, teamwork skills are important.
    While some jobs may require talent, the ability to work as a team is learned. There are no complicated formulas(规则); you don't need to have any special qualities or exceptional mental abilities. Individuals can be effective as a team if they have developed certain behaviors or habits of communication. Many companies, clubs and organizations use team building activities. Team building activities may include a number of teamwork elements. They are aimed at encouraging active participation in task accomplishment while all members have their roles as individuals and are able to co-operate towards a common goal as a team.
    Many team building activities focus on problem solving and discussing team issues; thus argument as a way to common consensus (共识) is encouraged. Team building activities often involve recognition and identification of team member skills, talents, knowledge, and experiences which allow the team members to learn more about each other and fully utilize (利用) those skills where appropriate（合适的）. Many team activities are focused on developing keys to trust during challenging times.
    小题1:In the author's opinion, which of the following is important for a company to be successful?
    A．Specialized knowledge.B．Highly-skilled staff.
    C．Exceptional talent.D．Teamwork skills.

    More than 20 million kids in the United States live with one parent. Separation and divorce are the most common reasons for this. In other cases, the mom and dad may never have lived together, or one of them may have died.
    Living with one parent instead of two can bring about a lot of emotions. These feelings can be pretty strong, and they can be confusing, too. You might feel terribly sad and angry because your parents divorced.
    Single parents are often working parents because someone needs to earn money to buy food, clothing, and a place to live in. Having a job means your mom or dad is able to provide these things and more for you. People work for other reasons, too. A job can let a person use his or her special talents and skills. A job can be important because it helps people in the community.
    But even though you might understand why your mom or dad has to work, sometimes it can be hard to accept. This can be especially true during the summer or school vacations. You’re home, they’re gone, and the days can seem really long.
    It can be tough when you don’t have enough time with your dad or mom. When you live with one parent, that person really has to do the work of two people. Besides a job, your mom or dad is responsible for caring for the kids, the house, the yard, the car and the pets. So what can you do ?
    One of the best ways is to hold a family meeting. Talk about everyone’s schedule for work, school, and activities. You can also talk about what jobs around the house need to be done every day. You might want to help your parent cook dinner sometimes. That can be both fun and helpful to your parent. Maybe you can also schedule a weekly game or a movie at night.
    小题1:What are the main reasons for kids’ living with one parent?
    A．Separation and divorce.B．A lot of emotions.
    C．Working and caring for the kids.D．Working parents.
    小题2:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．Some kids live with one parent for the other’s death.
    B．Living with one parent can cause a lot of emotions.
    C．Working means a mom or dad is able to provide things for their kids.
    D．Kids can also talk about what jobs in their school can be done at a family meeting.
    小题3:It can be inferred from the underlined sentence (in Paragraph 4 ) that ______
    A．the kid in the company of friends does want help
    B．the kid who plays with both parents does need their love
    C．the kid lacks both parents’ love does feel lonely
    D．the kid who understands parents’ work does be helpful
    小题4:What is the best title for the passage?
    A．Living with a single parentB．Single parents and work
    C．How to work with a single parentD．Schedules for work

    In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what "keeping up with the Joneses" is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.
    　　The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.
    　　It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They had to move back to an apartment in New York City. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses” because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
    　　People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are "Joneses" in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
    小题1:Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ______.
    A．want to be as rich as their neighbors

    Divorces in Japan have more than doubled, according to health ministry statistics. One in three Japanese marriages now ends in divorce.
    Atsuko Okano was in one of those failed marriages. Three years ago, she found herself alone in her 30s, with children to raise and a future full of question marks and social shame. But she also saw an opening, and became an advisor helping people like herself.
    “My husband was cheating on me,” she recalled. ‘I did everything to bring him back to me but it didn’t work, so I dumped him.” Such frankness is a major characteristic of Japan’s recently divorced.
    Divorced people – particularly woman – have long been looked down upon in Japan, where self-sacrifice and family stability are regarded as ideals. In the past, bored housewives remained bored. The security of the family unit was the most important thing. Now, young Japanese are increasingly choosing satisfaction in life over the demands of tradition, and more woman are financially independent. As a result, Japanese divorce rates are flying. Experts attribute this to the erosion of a long-standing double standard that granted divorced men respectability, but branded(gave somebody a bad name) divorced women as damaged goods.
    Over the past decade, growing numbers of highly educated and successful professional women have challenged that assumption(something taken for granted) by turning their backs on unhappy marriages and paying no attention to the taboo（禁忌）of divorce. The majority of divorce behavior now is started by women.
    小题1:This passage mainly talks about the fact that nowadays Japanese women _________.
    A．are granted respectability after they get divorced
    B．are becoming brave enough to challenge the taboo of divorce
    C．still consider the security of the family unit to be very important
    D．are becoming more financially independent
    小题2:It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that Atsuko Okano __________.
    A．had some children to raise
    B．was very confident with her future
    C．was not greatly respected by Japanese society
    D．might have found a job to help divorced people
    小题3:The underlined word “dumped” in paragraph 3 probably means _________.
    A．looked down upon
    B．had a quarrel with
    C．hated
    D．divorced
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason for rising rate of Japanese divorces?
    A．Self-sacrifice and family stability are not much appreciated in Japan as before.
    B．More women can support themselves financially.

    Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older.
    Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.
    The findings came from a survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in two thousand eight. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
    The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.
    Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five.
    The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
    Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.
    The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
    The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
    Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
    The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.
    小题1: What is the report about?
    A．The relationship between happiness and age.
    B．The influence between happiness and unemployment.
    C．The tendency between family and health.
    D．The expectation between age and children.
    小题2:Suppose John is 90 years old and Mike is 24, which of the following is True about them according to the research?
    A．John is happier and more energetic than Mike.
    B．Mike is happier but weaker than John.
    C．John is more sad and worried than Mike.
    D．Mike is more worried and depressed than John.
    小题3: One of the possible reasons why the older one gets, the happier one becomes is that _______.
    A．they have had enough bad experiences
    B．they become more grateful about the things they own
    C．they have found it easy to forget their pains and pressures
    D．they have lost their ability to control themselves
    小题4: Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A．Having young children affects the levels of happiness of the old.
    B．Emotional patterns can change the physical structures of human’s brains.
    C．It’s reported that women at all ages are happier than men.
    D．Why happiness increases as people get older is still an unsolved mystery.
