We can try to keep the danger from occurringoften an impossible task. We can try to change its path or reduce its impact on existing development. We can take steps to protect future development. We can also do our best to have disaster response plans in place before they are needed.Removing the ThreatClearly, there is no way to stop an eruption. We can, however, attempt to reduce the eruptions effects by strengthening structures, for example, building protective works such as walls to make lava (熔岩) flow away from developed areas. Such efforts can be and have been successful, but are of limited use in a large-scale eruption.Planning for the FutureProtecting future development from volcanic dangers is a simple task. Before building houses, we should judge the risk. If the risk seems too great, a safer location should be found. This type of planning is very effective, but all too often, people are drawn to the lush(葱郁的)，rolling land of a quiet volcano.Disaster Preparedness (预案)When a volcano comes to life, a few weeks may not be enough time to avoid a tragedy. Planning is the key to saving lives. Well before the warning signs occur, people must be educated about volcanic dangers. Escape plans must be in place. Communication between scientists, officials, the media, and the general public should be practiced. Emergency measures must be thought out and agreed upon.If you doubt the importance of these efforts, take another look at past volcanic tragedies, such as the eruption of Nevado del Ruiz. Communication failures left the town of Armero unprepared for escape. When a deadly mudflow came down the slope (斜坡), 21,000 people90 percent of the towns peopledied.21The passage is intended for _.Athe general public Barchitects Cadventurers Dgeographers22When building houses, people tend to _.Ajudge volcanic dangers carefully Btake volcanic dangers seriouslyClike to live near a quiet volcano Dfind a safer place far away from a volcano23The writer mentioned Nevado del Ruiz to prove _.AThe failure to keep volcanic dangers from happeningBThe importance of preparing for a volcanic eruptionCThe bravery of the people in Armero TownDThe uncertainty of volcanos damageBI was born and raised in Minnesota, the USA, but as an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa. I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris. For the last 15 years, Ive studied how people in different parts of the world build trust, communicate, and make decisions especially in the workplace.While traveling in Tokyo recently with a colleague, I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers. At the end, I asked whether there were any questions or comments. No hands went up, so I went to sit down. My colleague whispered to me, “I think there actually were some comments, Erin. Do you mind if I try?” I agreed, but I guessed it a waste of breath. He asked the group again. “Any comments or questions?”Still, no one raised a hand, but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience. Gesturing to one of them, he said, “Do you have something to add?” To my amazement, she responded “Yes, thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question. My colleague repeated this several times, looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.After the session, I asked my colleague, “How do you know that those people had questions?” He hesitated, not sure how to explain it, and then said, “it has to do with how bright their eyes are.”He continued, “In Japan, we dont make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West. So when you asked if there were any comments, most people were not looking directly at you. But a few people in the group were looking right at you, and their eyes were bright. That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota. Since then, I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter, and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.24What can we conclude from the first paragraph?ALife in Minnesota has made the author worn out.BThe author enjoys traveling around the world.CDifferent cultures are kind of familiar to the author.DThe author may start his own business in the future.25Hearing the colleague whispering, the author _.Awent back to his scat and got seatedBknew his colleague had some questionsCowed a big debt of gratitude to his colleagueDthought his colleague would get nowhere26Where does the authors colleague probably come from?AJapan BAmerica. CAfrica. DFrance27Which is the proper title for the passage?AFocusing on Behavior in Cultures. BLooking at Another Culture in the Eye.CSharing Different Cultures in Tokyo. DAdmiring the Beauty in the Eye.C“Cant hold a candle to” is a popular expression. When there wasnt electricity, someone would have a servant light his way by holding a candle. The expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servant. Now, it means such a person cannot compare or compete.Another expression is “hold your tongue.” It means to be still and not talk. “Hold your tongue” is not something you would tell a friend. But a parent or teacher might use the expression to quiet a noisy child.“Hold out” is an expression one hears often in sports reports and labor news. It means to refuse to play or work. Professional football and baseball players hold out” if their team refuses to pay them what they think they are worth.The expression “hold up” has several different meanings. One is a robbery. A man with a gun may say, “This is a hold-up. Give me your money.” Another meaning is to delay. A driver who was held up by heavy traffic might be late for work. Another meaning is for a story to be considered true after an investigation. A story can hold up if it is proved true.“Hold on” is another expression, which means waiting or stopping. As you leave for school, your brother may say, “Hold on, you forgot your book.” It is used to ask a telephone caller to wait and not hang up his telephone.Our final expression is “hold the line”. That means to keep a problem or situation from getting worseto hold steady. For example, the president may say he will “hold the line on taxes”. He means there will be no increase in taxes.28The expression “cant hold a candle to” can be used when _.Asome footballers refuse to play a game Bsomeone else is wanted on the phoneCsomeone is not qualified for a position Dsomeone was delayed by heavy traffic29The tune(曲调，调子） of the phrase “hold your tongue” is probably a little _.AamusingBpoliteCunfriendlyDoffensive30If some teachers “hold out”, they probably _.Achange their attitudeBrefuse to workCmake a compromiseDshow their devotion31Which of the following sentences can convey positive meanings?AI was late as I was held up by a hold-up. BHold on! You have to pay the bill, sir.CYou cant even hold a candle to Michael. DI promise to hold the line on house prices.DMany people traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada last week for the 50th Consumer Electronics Show, or CES. The show is said to have the largest collection of new electronic devices in the world.The show had many examples of “smart home” devices. “Smart home” technology is designed to make life easier for people by letting computers control many things inside our homes. One such device actually begins working outside the home, when someone arrives and rings the doorbell.“When someone comes to your front door and rings the doorbell, the light can turn on immediately. I get a notification when Im halfway around the world that someone came, and I can start talking to the person whos at my front door, and I can say, Oh, here let me let you in, I can unlock the door for them very easily.” Said Vivint, a smart home service provider.One electronics maker launched a device that lets people see and interact with their animals when they are away. The device, from Petcube, lets you remotely watch and talk to your pet through a personal device, according to a company official. It can even give the pet a treatif you approve and order it.For heating or cooling, there is a smart thermostat. This device can also send you a message if a big storm causes leaks of flooding. “Were trying to catch it with just a few drips before it becomes a real big problem,” said Mike Sale of iDevices.A concern for many homeowners is the possibility that someone else might find a way to attack these smart home devices. An official from Vivint said his company is sure that only owners of the home can gain use of information on the devices. Warren Katz from iDevices said his company employs engineers from the defense industry to help prevent hacking.32What can be learned about the show?AIt created much attraction to consumers. BIt has been held in Las Vegas many times.CIt only exhibited smart home devices. DIt is the largest show ever held.33Whats the purpose of Paragraph 3?ATo explain how to answer the door.

BMany of the devices are not available now.CHomeowners are concerned about its operation. DIts safety can be guaranteed at present.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。Asking for a raise can be a discouraging prospect for any employee. 36 If youre a female employee seeking a raise, it matters to approach that conversation strategically. Here are a few tips for pulling it off successfully.Do your research.37 So if youre making a case for a pay increase, youll need to gather some data on what others in similar positions are earning. To that end, do some research on sites like S. 38 Remember to collect the average earnings for all workers in your position and make your case for why you deserve to be paid similarly.Dont get emotional.Women are often accused of getting emotional on the job. In fact, its that so-called sensitive nature that causes some people to claim theyre uncomfortable working with and promoting female employees. Thats why its extremely important to keep you cool during a salary negotiation. Be specific and present hard evidence of your value to the company. Try to focus on your positive contributions, rather than the negative feelings. And although the discussion might get heated, be sure not to yell or, worse yet, cry while its going down. 3940Given many news stories about how men out-earn women, you may tend to draw on some of that data as a reason for getting a raise. But be very careful about using that argument, because unless you have definitive proof that your male colleagues - with the same exact titles, experience, and responsibilities are making more money than you, youre better off avoiding that angle.A.Dont accuse your employer.B.Staying calm will only help your case.C.Take advantage of how much men colleagues earn.D.Its never a good idea to go into a salary negotiation blindly.E. You are often paid less salary than your workmates in similar positions.F. But women face unique challenges when it comes to requesting more money.G. They allow you to search for compensation(赔偿，补偿） information based on industryand geographic region.第三部分 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I was at the post office early that morning, hoping to be in and out in a short while. Yet, I 41 myself standing in a queue that went all the way into the hallway. I had never seen so many people there on a weekday. It seemed someone might have made an announcement, welcoming customers to carry as many 42 as they could and bring them in when I needed to have my own package 43 . The queue moved very slowly. My patience ran out and I got 44 . The longer it took, the angrier I became. When I got to the counter finally, I finished my 45 quickly and briefly, and then walked past the queue that was now extending past the front door.“Excuse me,” I said, trying not to be too pushy. Several people had to move 46 to make room for me to get to the 47 .I stepped out, complaining about the 48 conditions. Thinking I was going to be late for my dentist appointment, I headed into the parking lot.A woman was coming across the lot in my 49 .
