12. 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

18. 选择题 　　It can be really frustrating (使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny” members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see t 渝粤教育 he judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that? 　　Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes of while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering (迎合) to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed. 　　There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate. 　　Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌). They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers. 　　Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted (有色的) windows for privacy, are all important changes. Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it's a step in the right direction. 　　1.

24. 选择题 　　Babies who are breast-fed may be more likely to be successful in life, a new study published Tuesday suggests. The study followed more than 3,000 babies into adulthood in Brazil. The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30s, stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula（配方奶粉）. 　　“Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits, but also breast-feeding has long-term benefits, ” says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health. 　　Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby's health. This is especially true in poor countries, where water can be contaminated. For instance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who's breast-fed. In the U.S., some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby's IQ（智商）by a few points. But a recent study with siblings（兄弟姐妹）found little advantage to breast-feeding. 　　Horta says these previous studies didn't follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects. So Horta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth. They are now in their 30s. First, the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests. Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 3.76 points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found. 　　When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were making, they also found a clear difference: Those who were breast-fed the longest stayed in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher. 　　1. From the passage, we learn that Horta . 　　A. is from Brazil 　　B. conducts his research in the U.S. 　　C. has 30 researchers on his team 　　2. Which of the following about those who were breast-fed is NOT mentioned? 　　A. They stayed longer in school 　　B. They were happier 　　C. They were smarter 　　3. Which of the following is TRUE? 　　A. Doctors don't understand the benefits of breast-feeding. 　　B. Horta is concerned with water contamination in poor countries. 　　C. Horta's research project lasted about 30 years 　　4. The word contaminated in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to . 　　A. finished 　　B. interested 　　C. polluted 　　5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage? 　　A. Researchers Have Pointed Out the Disadvantages of Breast-feeding 　　B. Researchers Have Found Out the Shortcomings of Formula 　　C. Breast-feeding Improves Chances of Success

30. 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 ex 国家开放大学 ists 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.

42. 选择题 　　Respondent: Binhai People's Hospital 　　Address: No 7, Binhai Road, Binhai City 　　The following answer is given to Zhang Hua's claim for personal-injury compensation by the Binhai People's Hospital: 　　1. The respondent does not have a direct contractual relationship with Zhang Hua. Zhang Hua had an oral contract to remove the high-voltage meter cabinet with Binhai No. 2 Construction Installation Company on June 10, 2008. He was assigned by Binhai No. 2 Construction and Installation Company and therefore has no direct contractual relationship with the respondent. 　　2.

Secondly, Zhang Hua seriously violated the operational procedure in removing the high-voltage meter cabinet and failed to pay due attention thereto. 　　3. The respondent shall not be responsible for compensating the injuries of Zhang Hua.

In this case, the respondent entered into a contract with Binhai No. 2 Construction and Installation Company, whereby the source of high danger shifted to Binhai No. 2 Construction and Installation Company. Binhai No. 2 Construction and Installation Company became the subject of the dangerous operation, and therefore any damages caused in the contract performance by Binhai No. 2 Construction and Installation Company have no connection with the respondent. 　　Therefore, Binhai People's Hospital is not liable for compensating Zhang Hua.

48. 选择题 Alternative Legal Billing – Win Strategies 　　Hourly billing is the best way to be charged for legal services. About 95 percent of lawyers still perform their legal work on an hourly basis. If you want something better than the old “bill by the hour” deal, try presenting one of these billing structures. Project billing for routine issues 　　If your legal needs include large but repetitive tasks, consider a flat-fee approach. Once you get a project billing estimate, don't hesitate to shop around to compare prices and services with other law firms. A firm may provide a better deal if it expects future work from your company. Results-oriented options 　　“Pay-according-to-success” is one choice. It considers fees based on the outcome of the case and the performance of your counsel. Contingency fees turn the matter into a shared risk or shared encouragement, making the law firm your business partner, not just representation. Multi-layered tasks 　　If you're shopping for a firm for actual legal work involving a number of legal specialties, consider using blended hourly fees. The firm calculates in advance an “average” rate based on the anticipated time each lawyer spends on the matter. 　　This arrangement helps the client to avoid paying a senior partner's hourly rate for research that should be conducted by a junior associate. 　　Legal “Insurance” 　　The contract fee allows the client to pick up the phone and talk to the lawyer without needing to eye the clock. This approach works like a legal insurance policy. It encourages companies to contact their counsel on non-litigation, non-crisis matters, and to save money in the long run by engaging in more preventive legal action. 　　1. is the best way to be charged for legal services. 　　A. Results-oriented billing 　　B. Hourly billing 　　C. Flat-fee billing 　　2. A flat-fee approach . 　　A. is suitable for repetitive tasks 　　B. is useless 　　C. is the best choice. 　　3. make the law firm share your risk and encouragement. 　　A. Contract fees 　　B. Blended hourly fees 　　C. Contingency fees 　　4. Legal work involving a number of legal specialties should consider using . 　　A. blended hourly fees 　　B. insurance fees 　　C. hourly fees 　　5. You have to eye the clock when you talk to the lawyer when you choose . 　　A. legal “Insurance” 　　B. the old “bill by the hour” deal 　　C. a flat-fee approach
