At the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, he said, “China and (the) US will never have a trade war. Give Trump some time. Hes open-minded, and hes listening.”The Chinese billionaire said he would do all he could to prevent trade relations between the countries from getting worse.Last week, Ma met with Trump at the Trump Tower in New York City. The Chinese billionaire is said to have discussed a plan to permit one million small US businesses to sell goods on Alibabas online shopping platform.During the campaign and after winning the presidential election, Trump strongly criticized the Chinese governments support for its businesses. He blamed unfair trade policies for taking away US jobs. And he said that China unfairly controls the exchange value of its currency, the yuan.Trump also has threatened to place import taxes on goods from China and other countries in response to their trade policies.According to the South China Morning Post, Ma said, “American international panies made millions and millions of dollars from globalization.” He added that the US should not blame the loss of jobs and panies on globalization.However, a new study by an American business group says many US businesses feel unwele in China. The panies say the cost of doing businesses in China is increasing. They add that rules and regulations are unclear or not enforced in a consistent way.The American Chamber of merce in China led the study, which looked at responses from 462 panies.William Zarit is chairman of the chamber. He says trade policies in China make it difficult for American panies. He says, “We feel that over the last few years that weve been taken advantages of to some extent, with our open market and the lack of open areas in the Chinese market.”Another major concern for US panies in China is fake products. Fake products are copies of the originals that cost businesses with the legal right to sell them millions of dollars each year.Ma defended Alibabas efforts to fight fake products on its shopping platform.

Group Says American Businesses in China Concerned. D. The War about Fighting against Fake Products.C A team of scientists found a new planet in space accidentally. Science could be changed by the discovery. “We hit the jackpot here,” said scientist Guillem Anglada-Escude about the discovery of the planet more or less like Earth that is orbiting Proxima Centauri(半人马座比邻星)，the star nearest to our solar system. What do we know about this exciting new “Earth”? Well, Proxima b, or“Earth II” as you could call it, is a little bigger than our Earth, and its revolution only takes 11 days. Also, since it is much closer to its red dwarf star than Earth to the Sun, the sky there is orange without any blue at all, creating a forever sunset effect. But there are a lot of questions about life forms that could live on this new planet. The discovery of the planet made the Chicago Tribune newspaper wonder if anyone had seen or heard of the USs space postcards from its pioneer 11 spaceships, which were pictures of a man and a woman, along with diagrams of the solar system. If there are aliens on Proxima b, they would have found images showing the incredible diversity of Earth. Aliens might also have heard the message from former US President Jimmy Carter: “This is a present from a small distant world We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a munity of galactic (银河的) civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe.”It might not be time to plan a visit to Proxima b just yet - even if it has an atmosphere. At first, we would need to invent a way to get there in less than 78,000 years it would take at 36,000 mph (about 57,900km/h).8. Which has the similar meaning to the underlined phrase “hit the jackpot” in the 1st paragraph? A. Make a bet B. take a risk C. Succeed by chance D. Make a fortune.9. What does the author say about Proxima b? A. It has shorter period of revolution. B. It is of the similar weight to Earth C. It is a newly-found planet in the solar system. D. Its sky looks orange for being closer to the Sun.10. What can we learn from President Jimmy Carters words? A. Humans eagerness to meet creatures from outer space. B. The great progress made in space exploration. C. The best wishes for Americas space program. D. Humans determination to explore outer space.11. What seems to be the most difficult for our visit to Proxima b? A. The lack of air on the planet. B. too great a distance from us. C. Uncertainty about life forms there. D. The glaring sunlight all years.DI was on my way home from work, cutting through the Bryant Park. On that day, the sun seemed to set faster than usual, and suddenly I found myself walking in the dark. I was less than half a mile from my apartment, but the path would lead me over a bridge, across train tracks, and through an unlit underpass.Then I heard him - a stranger running alongside me, partly obscured(遮掩) by the bushes. My mouth went dry; my legs felt like water. But I didnt pick up my pace - instead, I stopped, turned, and faced him. He came out of the bushes and said hed been watching me “for a long time”.As he walked beside me, I guided us towards the edge of the park. When we reached the bridge, a train rumbled(轰鸣着缓慢行进) past, and he seized the moment, attacking me with a knife around my throat. The self-defense skills I had learned years before kicked in, and I pushed my finger into his eye, hard. And then came the shock: That didnt frighten him away. My mind flashed back to a tip from an old guitar teacher:” Press the strings like youre squeezing a flea (a very small jumping insect).” I put all my strength into that finger, and finally he let go.I was shaking with fear, but I looked him straight in the eye and began to back away. I turned to run the hell out of there, but then I remembered another self-defense lesson: Never run, because then youre a target. So I walked away alone through the dark tunnel as I dialed 911 with trembling fingers. If you ever find yourself in this situation, use these self-defense skills that you already know. They can really make all the difference to you.12. Which of the following word best describes the authors way home?A. Boring.B. Risky.C. Well-traveledD. Well-protected13. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 suggest?A. The author was desperate to go home. B. The author was exhausted and thirsty.C. The author was in a state of fear. D. The author broke out in a sweat.14. Which statement may the author agree with?A. The man is a casual acquaintance of her.B. She was guarded home by the police finally.C. The man injured his eye himself when making an attack.D. She might feel grateful for her self-defense skills.15. What is the best title for the passage?A. How I survived an attack B. Whether fortune smiles on meC. What one should do when in dangerD. Why self-defense skills are important第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Science-Backed ways To Be A Better Conversationalist There are two keys to being a better conversationalist. One is to concentrate more on the persons youre speaking with. The other is to focus on satisfying their needs instead of your own.16 Use peoples names more. Our names are “the sweetest and most important sound” to us. 17 In conversation, you can use this to your advantage by asking for their names, and then dropping their names occasionally throughout the conversation later on. 18 Talking about ourselves results in the same feeling of pleasure in the brain as food or money. Individuals place high subjective value on opportunities to municate their thoughts and feelings to others. An attention-giver will give his undivided attention to the individuals, and allow them to focus the conversation on themselves to feel important. Repeat the last three words. 19 Simply repeat the last two or three words an individual said in a sympathetic, questioning one. This is known as “The Echo(回声) Effect”, which will allow the conversation to go back to the person, and make him feel more important. Stress similarities. Naturally, we tend to bond with people who are like us. 20 When individuals were asked what they wanted in a partner; the majority said they would prefer a plementary (互补的) partner rather than a similar one. But the individuals were more likely to choose a partner who they thought was very similar to them.A. Talk more about ourselves.B. Repeating makes your partner important.C. Encourage people to talk about themselves.D. However, we seem to be unaware of this fact.E. In brief, be an attention-giver rather than an attention-getter.F. Repetition is most suitable in terms of good munication skills.G. We are more likely to be in tune with others when they say our names.第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。完形填空(每小题1.5分.满分30分) Yasmeens Mehndi Mrs. Cross, Yasmeens social study teacher, announced, “Boys and girls, you have been learning about world customs.
