Jean Cockroft,__2___Fullbright US scholar who is teaching political science at the Southwest University of China, suspects US-China relations can become more difficult amid a Trump presidency.

“I expect Trump could be a bit 4 (aggressive) about trade deals. Trade relations would be different not just from the Obama tradition, but also from the Republican traditions including the Bush administration," Professor Schaller commented.

Apart from the trade issue, there is also general concern about 5 the next US president would cast a shadow on the Sino-US climate cooperation. In 2012, Trump tweeted that “the concept orf global warming was created by and for the Chinese 6 (make) US manufacturing non-competitive”．

“It generally postures an American first or American alone, 7 there is a

sort of policy isolationism in Trump's policy announcement. Given that he proclaims to call climate change liar, I cannot imagine that he would continue to be a dreamiest within his party,” Professor Schaller said during the video interview with chinadaily. com. cn.

But, "How much Trump's words would turn into action is a different thing because of the congress and the division of his own party," Professor Cockroft stressed.

Switzerland is surrounded by three of Europe's major-and most populous-countries: France, Germany and Italy. For thousands of years, the region has been a busy trade (21) , both from east to west as well as from north to south. Today, Switzerland

Switzerland is a popular place to do business, a center of education and a favorite

travel destination. At the heart of this success story lies a stable political system. The country has not gone through any major political changes since the foundation of the federal state 1848.

A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given the passage you have just read.

(A)

Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing

big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my

stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. "What could be causing everyone to act this way?"

Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the

first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet

and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip a coin. Heads-the commander, and tails-the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.

Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, "My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution." The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?

Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster's office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade, Justice is sweet!

36. What did the author's classmates think about his report?

A. Controversial.

B. Ridiculous.

C. Boring.

D. Puzzling.

37. Why was the author confused about the task?

D. He didn't know why the teacher gave such a task.

38. The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means .

A. annoyed

B. ashamed

C. ready

D. eager

39. In the end, the author turned things around _ .

A. by redoing his task

B. through his own efforts

C. with the help of his grandfather

D. under the guidance of his headmaster

The employees know their jobs. They have all successfully completed initial training courses and they've had plenty of direct day-to-day experience. Nonetheless, companies instinctively feel that they could get more out of their staff by giving them further training in areas related to their work. When it comes to investing in

such staff training, however, there is a fundamental paradox. Training remains an absolutely essential luxury item. All managers agree that they want it and they all know it is a good thing, but they cut the training budget at the slightest excuse.

Happily, however, there are companies who try it. But even when companies guarantee a budget and commit themselves to ongoing staff training, it does not always work.

A few years ago, a car company hired a team of external consultants to investigate why owners of a particular model in their range seldom came back for another one. The investigation pointed to a key factor in building customer loyalty—the quality of service at the company's garages, In particular, if repairs were carried out effectively and to budget, customers were more likely to buy from that dealer again, The senior managers leapt on this with zeal, seeing a simple solution to their ailing sales figures. A rigorous training programme was designed for every mechanic in every garage. But a funny thing happened. Customer satisfaction with the quality of service fell dramatically.

It turned out that garages work to tight profit margins, with a prescribed number of mechanics to service a certain number of vehicles in a given period. Take a load of them out for training and the rest have work to do in the same amount of time. Hence rushed jobs and mistakes. Simple really, and fairly obvious—when you go away on a training course. the world does not stop. Your job awaits you on your return, and normally there is more to do than when left. You return to the same company operating in the same way, with the same colleagues, and the same clients. You may be different, your toolkit of knowledge, and experience may have grown, but unless you can apply your knowledge there and then; or within a short space of time, you will most likely carry on doing everything exactly the way you did it before you went on the course.

The moral is that ongoing training can be of value, but getting at that value is not as easy as one might think. There must be many a manager who has invested a lot of effort in identifying the kind of training required, has sent an employee on an external training course, but then has failed to conduct a thorough review of the outcome of that training afterwards.

44. In the writer's opinion, why do many companies fail to invest in ongoing training for their staff?

A. Their managers are not in favour of it.

B. They are unwilling to commit funds to it

C. Their employees don't see the need for it

D. They lack experience in setting it up.

45. What prompted the car company to send its mechanics on a training programme?

A. Complaints from customers

B. An investigation by its managers

C. Independent professional advice

D. A suggestion from its mechanics

46. According to the author, why may the car company's training programme have failed?

A. It broke normal work patterns.

B. It failed to address basic problems.

C. It was impossible for all mechanics to attend.

D. It overemphasized the need for speed.

47. In the writer's opinion, what mistake managers often make after employees have attended training courses?

A. They expect too much feedback from employees.

B. They fail to provide adequate follow-up.

C. They only see improvements in technical skills,

D. They assume that further training will be available

Section C (8%)

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Writer and journalist Cristina Odone aroused widespread anger by suggesting that her daughter was being pressured to take science for graduation exams and this was unreasonable for a child with a literary bent. She even claimed that "... this focus on STEM subjects sends a message that makes her and me uncomfortable: doing a man's work is more impressive than doing a woman's."

Like many others, _48 _ Taking science to age 16 should simply be seen as part of obtaining a well-rounded education, Furthermore, identifying STEM as a man's subject leads in part to our serious lack of variety in the scientific workforce, Meanwhile, many male authors and poets might be surprised to learn that literature is "woman's work".

Novelist Lucy Ellman once wrote, "The purpose of artists is to ask the right questions, even if we don't find the answers, whereas the aim of science is to prove some silly points." But provin~_some silly points might save your life, light your home, allow you to surf the web or visit your relatives living far away. _ 49 However, having said that, I am not trying to denigrate the work of the humanities.

I do not see this as an either/or situation but it's all part of being human. I admire and appreciate those who try to express things hard to be described in words, but it simply isn't my strength. I may wholeheartedly believe that science is vital but that doesn't mean I think the humanities (or indeed the social sciences) are not._50 That statement is not equal to saying that the humanities should not be properly funded. Somehow, we are constantly being put in opposition, a divide that is damaging to both

scientists and non-scientists.

51 I would say it is exactly because I am human. I sit here typing listening to a Schubert piano trio. I have been reading EP Thompson's The Making of the English Working Class to try to understand how our society was and is the shape it is. Scientists may be capable of dealing with the ethic of their work, but they cannot and should not answer the question of whether we should do this in isolation.

Directions:Read the following passage, and summarize the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words, Use your own words as far as possible.

External rewards: yes or no'?

Some argue that students' interests should emerge organically and genuinely from their own investigations of the world. The educational philosopher John Dewey warned teachers against artificially "making things interesting", and a long line of research has shown that providing "extrinsic", or external, rewards for an activity can weaken students' "jntrinsic", or internal, motivation to engage in that activity.

But research also shows that, done carefully, the international elicitation (引出) of interest has many positive effects, and does not produce the negative results that educators may fear. Especially for academically unmotivated students, it's of primary importance that the adults in their lives create envjronments that allow them

to find and develop their interests. And parents and educators can promote the development of kids' interests by demonstrating their own passion for particular subjects.

Two more thoughts on intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation: although research has convincingly established the value of intrinsic interest, in the real world most of us are driven by a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. High-achieving students learn for learning's sake, but also to get A's; successful business people are driven to create useful products or productive organizations, but also to enjoy financial rewards. There is nothing wrong with this mixing of motives.

Second, when intrinsic motivation is entirely absent, there's nothing to weaken with an external incentive. Parents and teachers are sometimes reluctant to offer a reward to a young person for doing something he or she "should" like for its own sake---a monetary bonus for reading a book, for example. But if the kid shows no interest in reading the book in the first place, there's no intrinsic motivation to weaken. And if the student does read the book in order to get the money---and discovers that reading is actually pretty fun---that's a win for everybody.

In short, while motivation is more complex than we sometimes assume, there is clearly a role for parents and educators to push young people's interests gently along.
