But a group of 50 Grade 9 students from Bohunt School in Hampshire, UK, decided to try out Chinese schools for over a four-week period.Five Chinese teachers were sent to a UK school to teach the British students in a Chinese style. The Chinese teachers came in with high expectations, but they quickly found discipline (纪律) was their biggest challenge. “When I walked into the classroom, some students were chatting, some students were eating, and somebody was even putting make-up on her face. I had to control myself, or I would have gone crazy,” said one of the teachers Li Aiyun.The British students had complaints too. Many of them found the classes boring. “Its all about repetition(重复) and copying notes from the board,” one student said.The students finally took a test, and the Chinese class scored better than other classes. Chinese teachers were happy, but they owed (把归功于) it to the students for working hard. They also realized their teaching style was “a bit too rigid (死板的)”. “Its very hard to say which education system is better. But I think we can learn from each other,” said Li Aiyun.Education should bewell-roundedand it is mainly for improving a person. It is not only to teach him/her to speak, read and write, but also to develop his/her creative thinking and other abilities. Though the education systems are so different between Britain and China, we agree that getting education is the most important part in a persons life.21. 50 Grade 9 British students decided to try out Chinese schools for about _ .A. half a month B. a month C. four months D. half a year22. Li Aiyun could hardly control herself in class of UK because some British students _.A. did what they wanted to do in class B. were so interested in her classesC. got bad grades and failed the exams D. didnt copy notes from the board23. The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means _ in Chinese.A.有利的 B.公平的 C.全面的 D. 必要的BStarting from my second year of primary school, there was one event I hated every year: the piano concert. I didnt want to practice a boring piece of music and was scared to perform in front of strangers. Each year I would ask my father if I could miss the concert “just this once”. And he would say something about building self-confidence and working towards a goal.So I was very proud when I stood in church(教堂) and watched my father play the piano during his very first concert. My father wanted to play music when he was small. But his mother couldnt afford lessons.Three years ago, when he retired(退休), he asked the church music director, Charles, to take him as a student. Just before the concert, Charles told me my dad was playing “the best Ive ever seen him.” For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard, he simply stared down at his fingers. I wondered whether he would even begin.But then Aram Khachaturians Melody(交响乐) began. It seemed that my father took the music so seriously that he didnt realize we were there. My dad made it through Melody and then through another song. Although he didnt have much skill, he made up for it in feeling.My 11-year-old son Jeff was there. “So what did you think about your grandfather?” I asked Jeff later. “He was great,” Jeff replied.My father may not have reached his top musically, but in his grandsons eyes, hes at the top of the mountain.24. From the first paragraph, we know the writer_.A. was always working towards his goalB. didnt like to play the piano at allC. was confident at piano concertsD. practiced the piano every day25. While watching his father play the piano, the writer felt _.A. worried B. sad C. happy D. proud26. Why did people like the performance of the writers father?A. Because he played with his feelings.B. Because he communicated with people.C. Because he was an old learner.D. Because he practiced hard.27. What does the story tell us?A. Learning an instrument is easy for old people.B. Skills for playing an instrument arent very important.C. Never give up your dreams no matter how old you are.D. Children should follow parents decisions.CSuccessful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures. They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptionsmistaken ideas.One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism, the belief that ones own cultures way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures. Its ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business. To avoid ethnocentrism, its necessary to study the different elements (组成部分) of culture：language, values and attitudes, and customs and manners.LanguageA knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways. First, people can communicate directly.Second, people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language. Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly.Finally, knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.Values and AttitudesValues are peoples basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. An attitude is a way of thinking or acting. Values and attitudes influence international business. For example，many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries, and they buy a lot of it.Customs and MannersCustoms are common social practices. Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite. For example, in the United States, it is the custom to have salad (色拉) before the main course at dinner, not after. Its not acceptable to talk with food in mouth at table. Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products. Orange juice as a breakfast drink of an American company in France doesnt sell well because the French dont usually drink juice with breakfast.28A knowledge of the local language allows international business people_.A. to be more open with their customersB. to communicate without outside helpC. to express their thoughts indirectlyD. to have a better idea of their own culture29The act of many people buying chocolate of Switzerland shows the role of_.A. mannersB. values C. attitudes D. customs30What would be the best title for the text?A. Misconceptions in BusinessB. Basic Beliefs in BusinessC. International Business CultureD. Successful International Business31The authors purpose of writing this article is to tell people_.A. how to take a right attitude in businessB. how to avoid misunderstandings in businessC. how to use a local language in businessD. how to act politely and properly in businessD“Get your hands off me , I have been stolen，” the laptop，a portable computer, shouted. That is a new solution to laptop computer theft: a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computer s screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.Owners must report their laptop missing by visiting a website, which sends a message to the model: a red and yellow “lost or stolen” sign appears on its screen when it is started.Under the latest version(版本) of the software, users can also send a spoken message.The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it. “One customer sent a message saying，You are being tracked. I am right at your door ，” said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever.In the latest version, people can add a spoken message.For example, the laptop s speakers will say: “Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, report me now.”The Retriever software package, which costs $ 29.95 but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs.Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.If a thief accesses the internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on the internet service provider in use, so that the police can be alerted to its location.Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offices, but with the use of laptops increasing, the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.32The expression “to give the thief a piece of their mind” can be understood as“_”A. to give the thief an alert mind B. to express the owners anger to the thiefC. to remind the thief of his conscience D. to make the thief give up his mind33Different from other security software, Retriever can_.A. record the stealing process B. help recognize the lost laptopC. lock down the computer remotely D. send a spoken message34One function of the program is that it allows the owner to_at a distance.A. change some access details for switching on the laptopB. turn on the laptop by using the original passwordC. operate the laptop by means of an alternative passwordD. erase the information kept in the stolen laptop35Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?A. With no Retriever, thousands of laptops are stolen every year.B. A new software provides a means to reduce laptop theft.C. Retriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers.D. A new program offers a communication platform with the thief.第三部分 (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。My mother is a hard-working and kind woman.
