As is graphicall yrevealed in the cartoon, a few employees are holding a conference in themeeting room equipped with advanced devices. However, the most striking feature of the drawing is that
the man in the center, who seems like a manager, says that they have lots of Information technology, while useful information is badly needed. Simple as the illustration seems, it discloses a serious problem that it is rather hard to obtain helpful information in the highly modernized society.
A multitude of reasons can account for the phenomenon. On the one hand, it can Be partially due to the fact that the modern technology has Been developing at an incredible speed, which provides a booming A mount of information and it is difficult to tell the right from the wrong. On the other hand, it is also because the restriction about spreading information on the Internet is far from perfect, making it difficult to get rid of the problem effectively And fundamentally.
From my perspective,it is high time that we transferred our focus from developing technology to searching for something helpful. Only in this way canwe acquire what we literally need.

Direction：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should focus on the harm caused by misleading information online. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
The cartoon, vivid and explicit, unfolds a sense to us, in which a woman, who stands by the door, makes a cup of coffee for her husband. However, the most striking feature of the drawing is that the husband, working in front of a computer, says that he feels unfortunate to live in a world with so much misleading information.
Simple as the illustration seems, it discloses a serious problem that it is rather hard to obtain useful and helpful information in the highly modernized society. Harmful are the impacts of the phenomenon and I would like to explore the following aspects. For one thing, by no means can we deny that nothing poses a greater threat to a corporation's strategy of development than the misleading information, the harm of which can never be ignored. For another, this kind of cheat also makes it impossible for individuals, especially adolescents, to tell the right from the wrong.
From my perspective, it is high time that the authorities concerned established relevant regulations to better the environment of the virtual world. Only in this way can both people and our country benefit a lot from the development of high technology.

Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on The picture below. You should focus on theimpact of social networking websites on reading.“I love reading. I
read about 3 hours aday. My favorite book is Facebook.”*Facebookis the name of a social networking website.
此文预计会引发巨大争议，有人会认为FB和朋友圈这类东西完全不是正真意义的“阅读”，但是也有认为，这才是当今时代有特色的阅读，其实，能说明白就好，观点没有正误。Impact的含义：影响。第一段: 描述漫画内容.强调网络阅读的趋势和现象第二段: 分析网络读书的原因. ( 或阐述不同的人的不同观点)在这一段，既可以把网络阅读的影响力归结为利大于弊，也可以归结为弊大于利，自圆其说即可。第三段:双面总结，得出结论.
The picture describes a conversation between two people, one of them said: “I Read about 3 hours a day. My favorite book is Facebook.”The picture intends toinform us that the Internet has exerted an important influence on reading forthe modern citizens.
The phenomenon involves many factors, which canbe listed as the follows. To begin with, with the rapid development of scientific technology, The Internet has become
indispensable in our daily life.Undoubtedly, it provides people with many advantages and makes our life more comfortable and efficient, including the way of reading. What’s more, it is a moreadvanced way to get information needed by people, and an efficient way to searchfor materials. “I have hardly ever bought any books since 2003. I have beenreading online in recent years.”said professor Wang from Peking University.“With the click of the mouse, any stories or information that I want at any given time or place, is there.”she said. This may well explain why so many people now prefer to embrace the wonders of the Internet than read print copiesof book or any other reading material.
Every coin hastwo sides, reading in social networking websites is no exception. Admittedly,there is false and useless information on the social networking websites, it is advisable that we read more critically and carefully.

Team management calls for newskills if personnel potential is to be fully realized.

When teams consist to be experiencedemployees from hierarchical organizations, who have been condition to traditional organizational culture. Cooperation may not occur naturally, itmainly to be created. Furthermore, the issue is not just how the team can function more effectively, but how it integrates with the overall organization,all society that it supposes it serves. A group of individuals is not automatically a team. Therefore,
team building may be necessary in order toimprove the group’s performance. Casey, an expert in this field, suggests thatthe cooperation process within teams must be organized, promoted and managed.He believes the team corporation results when members go beyond Their individual capabilities, beyond what each is used to being and doing.

For this to happen, he suggests the multi-cultural managers exhibit understanding of their own and others’cultural influences and limitations.They should also cultivate such skills as toleration of ambiguity, persistenceand patience, as well as assertedness. If a team manager exemplifies suchqualities, then the team as a whole would be better able to realize Their potential and achieve their objectives.
Q 16: What should teammembers do to fully realize their potential?
Q 17: What needs to beconsidered for effective team management?
Q 18: What conclusion can wedraw from what Casey says?

Advertising informs consumers about the existence and benefits ofproducts and services and attempts to persuade them to buy them. The best formof advertising is probably word of mouth advertising which occurs when peopletell their friends about the benefits of products or services that they have purchased. Yet virtually no providers of goods or services relay on this alone,which using paid advertising instead. Indeed many organizations also use institutionalor prestige advertising which is designed to build up their reputation rather than to sell particular products. Although large companies could easily set up theirmown advertising departments, write their own advertisements and by media space themselves.They tend to use the services of large advertising agencies. These are likelyto have more resources and more knowledge about all aspects of advertising andadvertising media than single company. It is also easier for a dissatisfy

Extinction is a difficult concept to grasp. It is an eternal concept. Itis not atall like the killing of individual life forms that can be renewethrough normal processes of reproduction. Nor is simply diminishing numbers.Nor is it damage that can somehow be remedied or for which some substitute canbe found. Nor is it something that only affects our own generation. Nor is it somethingthat could be remedied by some supernatural power. It is, rather, an absoluteand final act which there is no remedy on earth or in heaven. A species onceextinct, it’s gone forever. However many generations succeed us in coming centuries, none of them will ever see this species that we extinguish. Not onlyus we bring about extinction of life on a vast scale. We are also making theland and the air and sea so toxic that the very conditions of life are being destroyed.As regard natural resources ,not only are the none renewable resources beingused up in a of frenzy of processing, consuming and disposing but we are also ruining much of our renewable resources. Such as the very solid self on which terrestrial life depends. The change that is taking place on the earth and in our minds Is one of the greatest changes ever to take place in human affairs. Perhaps the greatest, since we are talking about is not simply another historical change orcultural modification. But it change the geological and biological as well as Psychological order of magnitude

最近，中国政府决定将其工业升级。中国现在涉足建造高速列车，远洋船舶，机器人，甚至
飞机。不久前，中国获得了在印度尼西亚建造一条高铁的合同：中国还与马拉西亚签署了为其提供高速列车的合同。这证明人们信赖中国造产品。中国造产品越来越受欢迎。中国为此付出了代价，但这确实有助于消除贫困，同时还为世界各地的人们提供了就业机会。这是一件好事，值得称赞。下次你去商店时，可能想看一看你所购商品的出产国名。很有可能这件商品是中国造的。
The Chinese government has decided to upgrade the industrial structure recently. The construction of high speedtrains, ocean-going vessels, robots and even airplanes have beeninvolved in and a contract on the construction of high-speed railhas been signed by China and Indonesia lately, which proved thefact that the product made in China enjoys a high level ofreliability.The “Made in China”have been widely spread around theworld at a hefty cost.However, with the elimination of poverty and the job opportunities provided for people around the world, the popularity of the “Made in China”deserves applause. Therefore, you may wantto check the original places of the product you have bought instores because it is exceedingly possible that this product is madein China.

在帮助国际社会于2030年前消除极端贫困过程中，中国正扮演着越来越重要的角色。自20世纪70年代末实施改革开放以来，中国已使多达四亿人摆脱了贫困。在未来五年中，中国将向其他发展中国家在减少贫困、发展教育、农业现代化、环境保护和医疗保健等方面提供援助。中国在减少贫困方面取得了显著进步，并在促进经济增长方面做出了不懈努力，这鼓励其他贫困国家应对自身发展中的挑战。在追求具有自身特色的发展道路时，这些国家可以借鉴中国的经验。
China is playing an increasingly important role in helping the international community to eliminate extreme poverty by 2030. China has lifted as many as four hundred million people out of poverty, since the implementation of the reform and opening upin the late 1970s. In the next five years, China will provide supports to other developing countries in reducing poverty, development education, agricultural modernization, environmental protection and medical care,etc.China has seen notable improvements in reducing poverty, and has madeunremitting efforts in promoting economic growth. This will encourage otherpoor countries to strike back challenges when developing themselves.

在中国，父本总是竭力帮助孩子，甚至为孩子做重要决定，而不管孩子想要什么，因为他们相信这样做是为孩子好。结果，孩子的成长和教育往往屈从于父母的意愿。如果父母决定为孩子报名参加一个课外班，以增加其被重点学校录取的机会，他们会坚持自己的决定，即使孩子根本不感兴趣。然而在美国，父母可能会尊重孩子的意见，并在决策时更注重他
们的意见。中国父母十分重视教育或许值得称赞。然而，他们应该向美国父母学习在涉及教育时如何平衡父母与子女间的关系。
Parents in China are always trying to help their children, even to make the most important decision for them, regardless of what the children really want, because parents believe it’s all for the benefit of their children. This has led to the result that the children’s growth and education tend to give way to their parents’wishes. Once the parents decide to sign up an afterschool class for their children in order to increase their chance of being admitted to a good school, they will stick on their decision, even their children have no interest in it at all.In America, however, parents tend to respect their children, especially when making decisions. Perhaps it is
commendable that Chinese parents lay much importance on education, but Chinese parents still need to keep the balance between the parents and children in the perspective of education as the American parents do.

For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. In 1985 when a Japan Air Lines (JAL) jet crashed, its president, Yasumoto Takagi, called each victim’s family to apologize, and then promptly resigned. And in 1987, when a subsidiary of Toshiba sole sensitive military technology to the former Soviet Union, the chairman of Toshiba gave up his post. These executive actions, which Toshiba calls “the highest form of apology,”may seem bizarre to US managers. No one at Boeing resigned after the JAL crash, which may have been caused by a faulty Boeing repair. The difference between the two business cultures centers around different definitions of delegation. While US executives give both responsibility and authority to their employees, Japanese executives delegate only authority—the responsibility is still theirs. Although the subsidiary that sold the sensitive technology to the Soviets had its own management, the Toshiba top executives said they “must take personal responsibility for not creating an atmosphere throughout the Toshiba group that would make such activity unthinkable, even in an independently run subsidiary.” Such acceptance of community responsibility is not unique to businesses in Japan. School principals in Japan have resigned when their students committed major crimes after school hours. Even if they do not quit, Japanese executives will often accept primary responsibility in other ways, such as taking the first pay cut when a company gets into financial trouble. Such personal sacrifices, even if they are largely symbolic, help to create the sense of community and employee loyalty that is crucial to the Japanese way of doing business. Harvard Business School professor George Lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame “almost a feudal (封建的) way of purging (清除) the community of dishonor,”and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which both business and governmental leaders seem particularly good at evading responsibility, many US managers would probably welcome an infusion (灌输) of the Japanese sense of responsibility, If, for instance,
