    The West began to take more notice of the East.The fifth volume of an enormous work reassessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year.The first volume,which was published twenty years ago,set the tone for the whole work.In it,evidence was given to show that many inventions which,until then,western historians had claimed forEurope,were made first in China.The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some reputable historians.However,the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first.China’s invention of paper,printing,the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed,but this new history has added advanced bridge design,mechanical clocks,paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.

    In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times.It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China,where a static(稳定的) society under a relatively kind regime(政权) of scholar-gentry(贵族) contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic(有活力的) society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages.In recent years,the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again,and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year.But will China avoid the West’s mistakes?

    The first volume was published__________.

    A.ten years ago             B.last year                    C.five years ago            D.twenty years ago

    In Line 7,the word “skeptical” means _________.

    A.doubtful                    B.worried                     C.sad                           D.angry

    Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?

    A.Gunpowder.                     B.Needle.                            C.Paddle boats.             D.Bridge design.

    The best title for this passage is _________.

    A.China’s Inventions

    B.Comparisons Between the East and the West

    C.China Is Catching Up

    D.Situations in China

    Online shoppers would rather receive an offer for a product or service than make their own offer 3 according to a study led by a Michigan State University scholar that has implications for the fast-growing e-commerce industry. The findings may come as a surprise given that shopping online is an anonymous(匿名的）process that seemingly can give consumers more confidence to drive a hard bargain,said Don Conlon ，Professor of Management in MSU’s Broad College of Business.
    But the study found that participants who made their own offers were less successful in sealing the deal and ，when they were successful? worried they overpaid Many shoppers found the process of researching an offer to be a hassle. “ Americans are very busy，and it’s less time-consuming to be the one receiving the offer rather than the one proposing the offer  ” Conlon said. u People tend to be happier when they’re in the receiver role. ”
    Online spending in the United States is expected to jump 45 percent in the next four years， from $ 226 billion this year to $ 327 billion in 2017，according to Forrester Research Inc. Nevertheless, researches into this prosperous market remain largely focused on the strategies of companies, rather than those o£ shoppers. Conlon’s study is ，obviously, a rare exception.
    Conlon got the idea for the study after considering the difference between two popular sites for hotels and airline flights, priceline.com, which takes bids, and hotwire.com ，which provides offers. Using these two models ，Conlon and his fellow researchers conducted a series of experiments with more than 850 people who were charged with booking a fictional hotel room and acquiring a fictional antique car. Not only did participants prefer to receive bids, Conlon said ，but they also secured more deals in that receiver role. Further ，when they had to make the bids ，they were left more mentally taxed and regretful.
    From an industry perspective，putting customers in the receiver role may help fill more hotel rooms and airplane seats. “If you’re a business with a lot of products3 ” Conlon said，“you may want to be the one making the offers. ” However, when selling single items, such as an antique car， accepting bids may be a better option since that typically drives up the price, he said.
    【小题1】What can we learn from Para. 1?

    A．The result of the study gives customers more confidence.
    B．Scholars aren’t surprised at the findings of the study.
    C．Online shoppers don’t bargain as much as expected.
    D．E-commerce industry drives more hard bargains.

    A．online shopping is time-consuming
    B．given prices help promote online sales
    C．online businesses provide a lot of products
    D．receiving offers makes online shoppers regretful
    【小题3】The underlined word “taxed” in Para. 4 probably means______.
    A．burdenedB．numbedC．relievedD．challenged
    【小题4】The passage is mainly about______.
    A．the big advantages of online shopping
    B．the rapid development of online shopping
    C．online shoppers’ preference for taking offers
    D．online companies strategies to improve service

    For many of us, cartoon strips are simply one of our pastimes. The popular Japanese manga(漫画) provides us with an escape from reality into a world of fantasy, adventure and romance.With much less text and pictures running for pages, it fits perfectly into today’s fast, throwing away city lifestyle.
    But Tsai Chih-chung,a famous Taiwanese illustrator (漫画家), doesn’t agree.He believes cartoons can be a bridge connecting traditional Chinese culture and wisdom with the modern  world in a much wittier and more acceptable way.
    He has interpreted Lao Zi, Confucius, Mencius，Zhuang Zi and Sun Zi and made their works accessible to a global audience. He has also produced two books about Zen (禅宗), introducing oriental philosophy. His cartoons are humorous yet full of wisdom and are admired as an easy way to learn Chinese classics.
    After avoiding the public for ten years, Tsai made a comeback in late April with seven new works. But does his age, 61, work as a gap between him and his young readers? Tsai doesn’t think so. The topics he has covered range from philosophy in a time of individuality to the learning and memorizing techniques used at school. “Every child is a genius and has the potential beyond his own imagination, ” he said.
    If popular Japanese manga is purely for entertainment, Tsai’s work, to a large extent, is to light the power of thinking in a light-hearted way. Tsai uses differenr forms of water to refer to people. In his eyes some people are like an ocean, some are like vapor, while others may be ice or
    rain. But in essence(本质上)they share a similarity-human being’s forever chasing for the true and the good. “The person who thinks over life issues is not necessarily a scholar or a philosopher,” he said. “I’ve dedicated my whole life to thinking and individual freedom, not making a living.”
    【小题1】What is the main idea of the first paragraph in the passage?

    A．Japanese manga is a simple way of killing time.
    B．What Japanese manga is mainly about.
    C．Japanese manga presents a world of fantasy, adventure and romance.
    D．Why Japanese manga is so popular.
    【小题2】The underlined word “it” in paragraph l refers to_______.
    A．much less textB．Japanese manga
    C．pictures running for pagesD．an escape from reality
    【小题3】In Tsai Chih-chung’s opinion, cartoon_______.
    A．connects traditional Chinese culture and wisdom
    B．helps connect Chinese classics with modern world
    C．uses a wiser and acceptable way to draw cartoons
    D．builds up a bridge between cartoons and illustration
    【小题4】Compared to Japanese manga, Tsai’s works are_______
    A．mainly designed for a pure time killer for all
    B．more popular with young readers in China now
    C．to inspire people to think in a cheerful way
    D．much more interesting and instructive
    【小题5】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about Tsai Chih-chung?
    A．He values more thinking and personal freedom than making a living.
    B．He says that one who thinks over life is either a scholar or a philosopher.
    C．He thinks some people are like ocean, some like vapor, while others like ice cream.
    D．Tsai devoted his life to creating cartoons in order to make money.

    E
    　　　Scholars and students have always been great travelers. The official case for “academic mobility” is now often stated in impressive terms as a fundamental necessity for economic and social progress in the world, and debated in the areas of Europe, but it is certainly nothing new. Serious students were always ready to go abroad in search of the best teachers and the most famous academies; in search of the purest philosophy, the most effective medicine, the likeliest road to gold
    　　Mobility of this kind meant also mobility of ideas, their moving across borders, their simultaneous  (同时发生的)impact upon many groups of people. The point of learning is to share it, whether with students or with colleagues; one thinks that only eccentrics have no interest in being credited(相信) with a striking discovery, or a new technique. It must also have been comforting to know that other people in other parts of the world were about to make the same discovery or were thinking along the same lines, and that one was not quite alone, faced by question, ridicule or neglect.
    　　In the twentieth century, and particularly in the last 20 years, the old footpaths of the wandering scholars have become vast highways. The vehicle which has made this possible has of course been the aeroplane, making contact between scholars even in the most distant places immediately available, and providing for the very rapid transmission of knowledge.
    　　Apart from the vehicle itself, it is fairly easy to identify the main factors which have brought about the recent explosion in academic movement. Some of these are purely quantitative and require no further mention: there are far more centres of learning, and a far greater number of scholars and students.
    　　In addition one must recognize the very considerable increase of all kinds of subjects, particularly in the sciences, which by widening the total area of advanced studies has produced an enormous number of specialists whose particular interests are precisely defined. These people would work in some isolation if they were not able to keep in touch with similar isolated groups in other countries.
    71.It can be concluded from the passage that"academic mobility"_____.
    A.means the friendship formed by scholars on the trip
    B.is a program carried out by governments
    C.has been put great emphasis on in the world
    D.means going abroad in search of the best teachers
    72.The word "eccentric" underlined in the second paragraph most probably means_____.
    A.a rather strange person                              B.a person of no exceptional ability
    C.an ambitious person                                  D.peculiar or unusual
    73.In the eyes of the author,what happens to a scholar who shares his ideas with his      
    colleagues?
    A.He risks his ideas being stolen.                   B.He gains recognition for his achievement
    C.He is considered as an eccentric.                 D.He is credited with a striking discovery.
    74.According to the passage,the recent growth in air travel has meant that_____.
    A.travel around the world becomes realistic and affordable
    B.more students from remote areas can attend universities
    C.all kinds of information can be shared by more people
    D.scholars can meet each other more easily
    75.The author thinks that it's important for scholars to be able to travel because_____.
    A.their laboratories are in remote places
    B.there is too much stress at universities
    C.their fellow experts are spread across the world
    D.there are so many people working in similar fields

    What is EQ? In the early 1990s, Dr. John Mayer, Ph.D., and Dr. Peter Salovey, Ph.D., introduced the term “emotional intelligence” in the Journal of Personality Assessment. They used this term to describe a person’s ability to understand his or her own emotions and the emotions of others and to act properly based on this understanding. Then in 1995, psychologist Daniel Goleman popularized this term with his book Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ.

        EQ gives you a competitive advantage. Even at Bell Labs, where everyone is smart, studies find that the most respected and productive engineers are those with the special qualities of emotional intelligence quotient — it’s not necessary for them to have the highest IQ. Having a high IQ may make you an excellent expert or a legal scholar, but a highly developed emotional intelligence quotient will make you a candidate （候选人）for a leader or a brilliant lawyer. EQ can make it more likely that your marriage will be successful. Lack of EQ shows why people with high IQ can be such bad pilots of their personal lives.

        The study shows that these men with high IQ also lack these emotional abilities: suffering from being criticized and misunderstood, shy and uncomfortable, emotionally stimulated（激励）. Compared with those men with high IQ, these men (with high EQ) are calm and friendly, who are loyal to people and careers, have lots of sympathy with and care for others, with a rich but suitable emotional life  — they’re comfortable with themselves, others, and the human society they live in.

        Is your intelligence the greatest predictor of what you'll achieve in life? We have believed that IQ is the best measure of human potential for so many years. In the past 10 years, however, researchers have found that isn't necessarily the case---that in fact, your EQ might be a greater predictor of success.

       High IQ may help you the father of science fiction, but it won’t make you a respected person. High EQ can help you more.

    1.What can we learn from the second paragraph?

     A In daily life and work, EQ is more important than IQ.

     B High IQ will have a bad effect on people’s lives.

     C It’s not necessary for people to have a high IQ.

     D You’d better develop your intelligence well in order to be a leader.

    2.The underlined sentence “this isn’t necessarily the case” in Paragraph 4 means here that ____.

     A your IQ is a greater predictor of success

     B success is dependent on your IQ

     C your EQ can predict your success better

     D human potential is up to your IQ

    3.From the text, it can be inferred that ____

     A high IQ can help you work better and succeed more easily

     B high EQ must make you succeed

     C all the bosses have a higher EQ than their employees

     D those with high IQ are hot valued

    4.The text is written mainly to advise ____.

     A people should only pay attention to their EQ

     B people should develop their EQ as well as their IQ

     C those who want to act as leaders should develop their EQ

     D people should not develop their IQ too much
