6. 选择题 　　Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger（汉堡包）stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries. 　　With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald's is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald's, called the Big Mac Index（巨无霸指数）.That's not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald's in India doesn't serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans. 　　Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism（沙文主义）, and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and “bad food.” The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald's, killing a 27-year-old employee. No one claimed responsibility. But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald's is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization. 　　1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE? 　　A. McDonald's was founded in 1948. 　　B. McDonald's has opened its restaurants in every city of the world. 　　C. McDonald's has over 30,000 locations in the world now. 　　2. The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean . 　　A. very crowded 　　B. very clean 　　C. existing everywhere 　　3. From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that . 　　A. McDonald's designs its menu to suit the local people 　　B. millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald's 　　C. the McDonald's menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big Mac 　　4. What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald's? 　　A. They destroyed a McDonald's under construction. 　　B. They protested outside a McDonald's. 　　C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald's. 　　5. In , an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald's restaurant in France. 　　A. 1998 　　B. 1999 　　C. 2000

12. 排序题 A. For many students B. a major barrier C. equality in access to education D. different people E. non-traditional students 　　The National Union of Students (NUS) welcomes the news that greater numbers of black and disabled students are studying at UK universities, but there is still a lot of work to be done on widening access, writes the union's president, Gemma Tumelty. 　　A recent Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) equalities review showed that significant numbers of potential students felt their disability was to accessing higher education (HE). This is simply unacceptable. 　　Equality and diversity is not entirely a “numbers game” and before too much praise is given we need to hear more from , not just about their experience of accessing higher education but also going through the system. 　　Equality in society is absolutely, and fundamentally, linked to . 　　 , university is the place where they will be first exposed to different cultures and . As well as fighting for better access, the NUS wants to see diversity properly valued and promoted within the student experience. Many pay lip service to the value of diversity, but is this recognized and promoted as a core asset to those who go through the HE system? 　　Equality in society can be promoted by equality and diversity at university. But the benefits of university as a positive, diverse environment must be seen by students as adding “value” as much as any other factors before the numbers game is really won by the champions of diversity.

18. 排序题 A. even without international links B. Chinese students and academics C. the crisis on economic growth D. A strong research system E. in part because of this 　　Education and academic quality can mean different things to different people, depending on their perspective, role and context and, , quality is notoriously difficult to evaluate. The question of how to do this has been pursued for many years. 　　Nevertheless, the goal of improving educational quality is agreed by all and stimulated further by the recent worldwide economic downturn and the need to counteract the impact of and prepare for economic recovery. 　　As the World Bank and UNESCO said 10 years ago: “The quality of knowledge generated within higher education institutions, and its availability to the wider economy, is becoming increasingly critical to national competitiveness.” They also rightly emphasized that “ at the national level opens up the possibility that substantial additional public benefits can be realized through international links.” 　　This is precisely why should contribute to these global benefits, reforming and improving evaluation systems for educational and academic quality. Original and good research, especially in science, economics and social sciences, has a trickle-down effect on society. And it offers additional benefits , though international collaboration and exchange of the best evaluation policy and practice can bring substantial advantages to all partners in relation to lessons learned elsewhere.

23. 正误判断题 Liu Hui and Molly are discussing the issue of educational quality at a workshop. Liu Hui: Hi, Molly. Today's topic is educational quality. First, what does educational quality mean to you? Molly: As far as I'm concerned, quality education means good learning standards in educational institutions. So, educational quality ensures a desirable outcome for learners. Liu Hui: Sounds like after some serious thinking. However, many definitions of quality in education exist, testifying to the complexity and multifaceted nature of the concept. Molly: Definitely, establishing a contextualized understanding of quality means including relevant stakeholders. Key stakeholders often hold different views and meanings of educational quality. Liu Hui: There are many prestigious universities in the US. They all provide high-quality education. But some universities aren't known for their quality. It's hard to imagine the gap. Molly: Yes, in the US the quality in higher education is quite mixed. Universities like Harvard, Yale, MIT, etc., you know, are well-known all over the world. However, there are some institutions providing poor education, so called “diploma mills”. Liu Hui: In China, we have similar issues in educational quality. Some universities pay more attention to profits instead of quality. Molly: How to improve educational quality is an international issue. But, solutions are grounded in values, cultures and traditions and may be specific to a given nation as well. Molly thinks that educational quality ensures a satisfactory outcome for learners. 2. Liu Hui disagrees with Molly on the meaning of education quality. 3. All universities in the U.S. offer high-quality education. 4. Diploma mills cannot provide high-quality education. 5. In China, there isn't any diploma mill.

29. 填写主题句 I. Read the passage and choose the right sub-title (A-D) for each paragraph. A. The inexactitude of language B. Preventing misunderstandings C. Intercultural communication D. Fostering respect E. Avoiding conflicts Para 1 　　Intercultural communication refers to messages transmitted between members of two or more different societies. Effective intercultural communication helps firms avoid conflict, prevent misunderstandings, and foster respect. Para 2 　　The workplace is growing more diverse every day. Managers cannot assume that what they find inoffensive will also be inoffensive to their subordinates. A lack of sensitivity can lead to claims of discrimination or harassment, which costs firms big money. Intercultural communication involves exercising sensitivity and tact to avoid such conflicts. Para 3 　　We human beings have developed language to communicate ideas to one another. Still, our language represents an imperfect form of communication. Sometimes, words cannot accurately convey an idea, because the information might be highly complex. Also, a concept that exists in one culture or language might not be part of another. Effective intercultural communication tries to bridge language gaps as effectively as possible so that everyone at the workplace finds themselves on the same page. Para 4 　　Given the inexactitude of language, misunderstandings can frequently arise between people from different cultures when they exchange information. Idioms often become lost in translation. For example, the English expression “to shoulder responsibility” translates into Swedish as “be a man for your hat”. Intercultural communication does not rely on expressions native to a particular language that could lead to confusion; rather, it relies on clear messages that all parties understand. Para 5 　　Communication happens differently in various cultures. What one society finds acceptable may be anathema to another. When coworkers from different cultures do not take these differences into account, not only does communication suffer but conflicts come to the fore. Effective intercultural communication does not try to ignore societal differences; rather, it respects the variations among the human race and enables people to transmit information clearly.

41. 选择题 　　Imagine a school that expected its students to become literate(有读写能力的) without any formal instruction. Most parents would be alarmed by such an approach, which would leave their children confused and with gaps in their understanding. This however has been the philosophy on character development in many of our schools. Why is the development of character seen as somehow different from the other skills that we teach? 　　Of course there will always be learning by osmosis(耳濡目染)in any school, but as a teacher and primary school head I have found that a child's moral literacy is strengthened when they acquire the building blocks of good character such as consideration, courage and honor: qualities which are commonly known as virtue(美德). 　　I personally find that exploring a virtue over a two-week period provides a simple and effective program that allows for the creative input of both teacher and student and a chance for the virtue to embed(使融入)itself. Once a lesson on a virtue such as honesty has been completed we need to allow time for children to practice this concept just as would be the case with fractions or verbs. Allowing children to role play a situation such as making up excuses to cover a mistake can be enormously interesting, and the drama can be frozen allowing the characters to be questioned about their feelings and motives. It's also a safe way for children to experience for themselves how a lie usually goes out of control. 　　Our role as educators is also to look for opportunities to help our students as they attempt to strengthen their characters. When something goes wrong we guide the young person to the virtue that will prevent it from happening again. For instance, when am student thoughtlessly disturbs the calm atmosphere of the library, instead of a response such as, "that was really disrespectful and selfish of you!" we draw out from them the required virtue: "When you're walking through the library, what virtues do you need to use?" 　　1. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage? 　　A. Teaching morals and values has been a frequently discussed topic in the past few years. 　　B. The author and his staff embed virtues into lessons and school life to encourage character development in children. 　　C. Kids throughout the population face the same needs, the same challenges, and the same realities in their lives. 　　2. We can infer from the first paragraph that . 　　A. there tends to be disagreement about what character education is 　　B. most parents are not satisfied with the teaching methods adopted in schools 　　C. the approach to character education is generally considered different from the approaches to other skills 　　3. The word "philosophy" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to . 　　A. study 　　B. subject 　　C. viewpoint 　　4. The author is a . 　　A. teacher 　　B. librarian 　　C. reporter 　　5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a way to build character in children? 　　A. Story readings and discussions. 　　B. Osmosis. 　　C. Taking every opportunity to teach character.

47. 正误判断题 　　NEW YORK – The five men facing trial in the Sept. 11 attacks will plead not guilty. They would state their criticisms of U.S. foreign policy, the lawyer for one of the defendants said Sunday. 　　Scott Fenstermaker, the lawyer for accused terrorist Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, said the men would not deny their role in the 2001 attacks but “would explain what happened and why they did it.” 　　Ali and four other men are accused of killing nearly 3,000 people in the nation's deadliest terrorist attack. The U.S. Justice Department announced earlier this month that they will face a civilian federal trial just blocks from the World Trade Center site. 　　Ali is also known as Ammar al-Baluchi. He is a nephew of claimed 9/11 planner, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. 　　Mohammed, Ali and the others will explain “their assessment of American foreign policy,” Fenstermaker said. 　　“Their assessment is negative,” he said. 　　Fenstermaker met with Ali last week at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. He has not spoken with the others. But he said the men have discussed the trial among themselves. 　　Fenstermaker was first quoted in The New York Times in Sunday's editions. 　　Critics of Attorney General Eric Holder decided to try the men in a New York City civilian courthouse. It has warned that the trial would provide the defendants with a propaganda platform. 　　Dean Boyd, a spokesman for the Department of Justice, said Sunday that while the men may attempt to use the trial to express their views, “we believe the courts and the federal judge may govern the trial. The course of justice will be led appropriately and with minimal break, as federal courts have done in the past.” 　　1. The five men thought that the U.S. foreign policy should be blamed for the 911 attack. 　　2. Scott Fenstermaker is the lawyer for Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali and four other men. 　　3. Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the 911 attack. 　　4. The press didn't care about this civilian federal trial. 　　5. We can infer from the article that the prisoners also have their freedom to express their own views in the U.S.A.
