【题目】WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A DOLLAR？

AMERICAN DINNER-TABLE rules are simple：Don't discuss religion，politics，or money.

Money is especially bad. It makes people evil，small-minded and mean. Still，we want it. Little in life is simpler，or more symbolic of possibility，than a single George Washington. So we asked a handful of creative thinkers：What's the best way to invest a dollar？

■I would travel to an American post-industrial town，find a boardedup theater，and buy it for one dollar. Working with friends，I would rally（重整）the community together，raise money，and open it independently. This is what happened in the town of Cohoes，New York，and it can happen anywhere.

DEV AUJLA，founder of DreamNow

■Buy a newspaper which provides a credible source of news. It's cheap, it's informative, and staying current will help you strike up a conversation with people who could help advance your career.

ROB FRIEDMAN, a risk associate

■In my travels, I'd say that what people need most besides security and education is access to clean drinking water. So I'd give the dollar to a nonprofit or tech company that provides water sources to communities in need. A simple well with a solar-powered pump might have met their temporary needs.

BEN HARRISON, a U. S. Marine

■I would bury the dollar in the most beautiful place I could find，then create an elaborate（复杂的）map to the dollar.I would hope someone would discover this map years from now and have an adventure to go on.

PHILP STOCKTON，a filmmaker

【1】What docs the underlined phrase "a single George Washington" refer to?

【答案】

【1】C

【2】C

【3】A

【解析】

这是一篇应用文。文章就一美元的最佳投资方式列举了几个人的看法。

【1】词义猜测题。根据画线部分后面的So we asked a handful of creative thinkers：What's the best way to invest a dollar？可知“我们”问了很多人关于一美元的最佳投资方式。且此句和画线部分所在句子为因果关系，故推测a single George Washington的意思是“一美元”。故选C项。

【2】推理判断题。根据文章第五段的So I'd give the dollar to a nonprofit or tech company that provides water sources to communities in need.可知BEN HARRISON会把一美元给一个非盈利机构或者为有需要的社区提供水资源的科技公司，故推测他会把一美元捐赠给公共福利机构。故选C项。

【3】推理判断题。本文主要讲述了多个人对于一美元最佳投资的看法，即用最少的钱获取最大的收益，故推测本文很有可能出现在杂志的“生活艺术”板块。故选A项。

【题目】 The documentary Blood Lions shows South Africa's cruel "canned' lion hunting industry. In canned hunts, lions are raised by humans and kept in enclosed spaces on private hunting areas. Hunters can get trophy （战利品）easily in exchange for fees of up to $50, 000. There are about 8,000 ranch lions in South Africa. So the country’s hunt operators can make a fortune.

Ian Michler was a lead character in the film. He talked about Blood Lions last July when it was shown in Durban, South Africa. The film has since been viewed in 185 countries. More than 50 screenings have been held at film festivals and in meetings of special interest groups. This year, Blood Lions will be shown at every major tourism conference in Europe and Africa.

Outside the film, Michler and the team are running a global campaign. They are aiming at ending canned hunts and other cold-blooded activities involving lions and other animals.

Australia became the first country, in February 2015, to forbid imports of lion trophies. It was followed by France in November, That month, Blood Lions was shown in the European Parliament.

At the same time, at the end of last year, the world's leading group of African lion researchers offered an important suggestion They advised that any analysis of the present state of wild lions in South Africa should not include its thousands of ranch lions.

"The great majority of lion populations in Africa have been reduced,” says Hans Bauer, lion researcher at Oxford University Wildlife Conservation Research Unit.

【题目】Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

A. network B. specify C. traditionally D. ingredient

E. uneasy F. additional G. culturally H. block

I. determine J. requirement K. critical

A multicultural person is someone who is deeply convinced that all cultures are equally good, enjoys learning the rich variety of cultures in the world, and most likely has been exposed to more than one culture in his or her lifetime.

You cannot motivate anyone, especially someone of another culture, until that person has accepted you. A multilingual salesperson can explain the advantages of a product in other languages, but a multicultural salesperson can motivate foreigners to buy it. That’s a(an) 【1】difference.

No one likes foreigners who are arrogant(自大的) about their own culture. The trouble is most people are arrogantly monocultural without being aware of it and even those who are can’t hide it. Foreigners sense monocultural arrogance at once and set up their own cultural barriers, which may effectively 【2】 any attempt by the monocultural person to motivate them.

Multiculturalism is a(an) 【3】 that has been neglected too often in hiring managers for international positions. Even if your company is not a multinational one, chances are you’re in touch with foreign customers or manufacturers. Do you have the right employee to build up the 【4】?

For 20-odd years, I’ve run an executive-search firm from Brussels. When clients ask us to find the right person for a new pan-European sales or management position, I start by asking them to 【5】 the qualifications their ideal candidate would have. Most often they list the same qualities they would want for a domestic position, but with the 【6】 requirement that the new manager be fluent enough in English, German and French to cope with faxes and email. It sometimes takes me hours to persuade clients that the linguistic (语言的)abilities they see as crucial are not enough.

Of course, it’s far more difficult to 【7】 candidates multiculturalism than it is to check their language skills—but it’s also a far more important 【8】 to success. I remember a company that asked me to check out a salesman they were planning to send to Mexico. He’d studied Spanish, and had grown up in New York City—the most 【9】 diverse place in America. But when I interviewed him, he turned out to have no concept of the great pride Mexicans took in their culture, and moreover he was 【10】 about Mexican restaurants and markets being dirty and unsafe. I rejected him just as Mexican buyers would have if he’d been selected for the job.

【题目】 Name-calling, teasing, pushing and fighting—whether you have experienced it or not, the chances are that these are the things that appear in your mind when you hear the word “bullying”. Yet, many of us know little about the serious, lasting harms bullying could cause.

If you’ve watched 13 Reasons Why, you’ll understand the impacts that bullying can have. The second season of the popular US teenage drama was released on May 18. It tells the story of Hannah Baker, a high school student who takes her own life after she’s picked on by fellow students, while others stand by and do nothing to help her.

One of the important messages audiences could get from the show is to treat people with kindness and respect. “It teaches us that every single thing we say and do has an impact on others,” news platform Odyssey noted.

Some may think 13 Reasons Why exaggerates (夸大) the seriousness of school bullying, but according to the US National Center for Educational Statistics, more than 20 percent of US students were bullied in 2016, and only 36% of this group reported it.

NBA player Gerald Green opened up about being called “alien hands” during his teenage years due to his big hands. “Being bullied was embarrassing,” he said. “I still remember shying away from crowds and walking around with my hands in my pockets to evade the attention from my peers.” To get away with the teasing, he found his motivation by playing basketball and making a career out of it. But not everyone is so lucky to discover a release.

According to statistics released by the US government, if someone prevents a bully, there’s a 57% chance that the bullying will stop within 10 seconds. So if you ever witness bullying, consider stepping up and supporting the victim. As US actor Brandon Flynn, who stars in 13 Reasons Why, said, “Just because you’re not the one getting bullied, it doesn’t mean it’s not your problem.”

【1】What is the purpose of the last paragraph?

A.To add some background information.

B.To encourage eyewitnesses to take action.

C.To introduce a new topic of the discussion.

D.To give people advice about dealing with bullying.

【2】What does the US National Center for Educational Statistics indicate?

A.Bullying isn’t a problem in many schools.

B.School bullying can’t cause too much pain.

C.Only a few people are concerned about bullying.

D.Many people who’re bullied choose not to seek help.

【3】What does the underlined word in Para. 5 mean?

A.Attract.B.Focus.

C.Avoid.D.Keep.

【4】What does the text tell us about 13 Reasons Why?

A.It overstates school bullying.

B.It was first shown on May 18.

C.It is mainly about school bullying.

D.It shows few people can report bullying.
