[单项选择]Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.
It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.
Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. (80) In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like "he went pale and begin to tremble" suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock.

Questions 25 to 29 are based on the following passage.
Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the "system" of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.

Mandy Naylor writes an e-mail about her progress so far working as a social worker in Kazakhstan:

[填空题] Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
Japanese firms have achieved the highest levels of manufacturing efficiency in the world auto mobile industry. Some observers of Japan have assumed that Japanese firms use the same manufacturing equipment and techniques as United States firms but have benefited from the unique characteristics of Japanese employees and the Japanese culture. However, if this were true, then one would expect Japanese auto plants in the United States to perform no better than factories run by United States companies. This is not the case. Japanese-run automobile plants located in the United States and staffed by local workers have demonstrated higher levels of productivity when compared with factories owned by United States companies.
Other observers link high Japanese productivity to higher levels of capital investment per worker. But a historical perspective leads to a different conclusion. When the two top Japanese automobil

In 1857, when Mark Twain, born Samuel Clemens, became an apprentice river pilot, steam boating had been a part of the Mississippi scene for a quarter of a century. The steamboat dominated life along the old river. How well Sam knew the magic cry. S-t-e-a-m-boat are-coming, which woke his sleepy little hometown of Hannibal Missouri. Ten minutes before a steamboat touched the dock, the town would be dead, and ten minutes after the boat had departed, the familiar boatman’s sounding call “mark twain", meaning that the river depth measured two fathoms, or twelve feet of water, could still be heard.
Twain’s first experience as a cub pilot was aboard the steamer Paul Jones, out of New Orleans, and his instructor was the strict Horace Bixby. Through his experience as a pilot, Sam Clemens soon learned that there was more to piloting on the Old Mississippi than having sharp eyes. The most important skill was the necessary
