听力原文： From the earliest times, man has clothed himself in fabrics of one sort or another. At first, he depended upon animal skins and furs. Then he learned to make crude materials by interweaving flexible strands, such as vines and creepers, into primitive forms of cloth. This was the beginning of textile manufacture, which has now grown into one of world's great industries.
The production of textile fabrics by an interweaving process was possible only if suitable strands were available. The stems of plants, and strips of animal skin, possessed the strength and flexibility that enabled them to be woven into coarse materials.
As man became more civilized, he demanded finer fabrics for clothing and other purpose. In China, for example, wonderfully fine continuous filaments, or thin threads, were obtained by unwinding the cocoons of silk-worms. Flexible strands were made by combining several of these filaments together, and the strands of silk were woven into fabrics of the finest quality. Then China became famous for her silks, which were carried by traders to various parts of the world.
(26)
A．Fabrics.
B．Natural fibbers.
C．Primitive forms of cloth.
D．Animal skins and furs.

The Long March
A Long Way to Go for Chinese Entrepreneurs
Prospects of a new direction
"Made in China" lost its novelty long ago. The label has become widespread in much of the world, affixed to shoes, toys, apparel and a host of other items produced for global companies. What is novelty, however, are China-made goods sold under Chinese brand names. Only a handful of Chinese firms so far have the money and the management expertise to establish international brands. Most of the vast remainders are struggling to get even national recognition. But the pioneering companies which have started exploring overseas market might be regarded as on the threshold of something big.
Some believe that individually, with the help of enterprising local management or eager multinational partners wanting to add new products to their stable, Chinese brands could become a global phenomenon within a decade, marketed on quality and foreign appeal, as well as competitive pricing. Says Viveca Chan, Hong Kong based managing director at Grey China, an advertising agency: "If there' s one country in the world that has ample potential for taking brands global, it's China."
Why going abroad？
The concept of Chinese brands has been evolving through the 1990s, but is now getting greater attention at home. Although the domestic market is still robust, a handful of state-owned enterprises, or SOEs, including listed Chinese companies, are now looking to establish international brands because they believe the quality of both their products and their management has improved. Chinese joint ventures think their products can compete on quality with foreign brands anywhere, while enjoying the advantage of being perceived as exotic.
Besides bringing in additional revenue, a global brand also burnishes a company's image in China, stimulating sales among status-conscious domestic consumers. For example, state-owned soft-drinks maker Jianlibao has developed its overseas market in part to "establish a good image", which in turn enhances consumption at home, says Chief Executive Han Weixian.
Difficulties on the way
But building a brand takes time, money and marketing wisdom. Many Chinese brands have nudged into the international market on the back of competitive pricing and only a few have utilized other strategies. Jianlibao has highlighted its Asian appeal, presenting itself as the preferred sports-drink of China's athletes. Others like Haier, one of China's leading home-appliance producers, have pointedly avoided pricing strategy, competing instead on product quality and an efficient distribution and after-sales service.
Of course, global sales don't mean global brands, as Grey China's Chan points out. And it's still early days for Chinese companies. For a start, investment funds for brand promotion are hard to obtain, says Chu Liangjin, the Qingdao-based director of the overseas division of China's Tsingtao Brewery. "No more than 5% of our total export sales can be reinvested in promoting our brand overseas," explains Chu, adding that Tsingtao is trying to persuade the foreign-currency authorities to change this standard practice for SOEs. With the government's emphasis on preventing the outflow of foreign currency, the chances of the restrictions being lifted are small.
Although targeted only at SOEs, the 5% limit is bound to hamper Chinese brands. Jianlibao, for example, has invested about ＄10 million to sell its brand in the U.S. market, but Li Jingwei, the company's general manager, knows that's just a drop in the bucket. He believes that to successfully generate brand recognition among Americans, the company needs to spend at least ＄50 million to ＄100 million on marketing. He has no doubt that consumers will like Jianlibao's range of sports and soft drinks, but explains that

听力原文： Esperanto is an artificial language designed to serve internationally as an auxiliary means of communication among speakers of different languages. It was created by Ludwig Lazar Zamenhof, a polish Jewish doctor specialized in eye diseases. Esperanto was first presented in 1887. An international movement was launched to promote its use. Despite arguments and disagreements, the movement has continued to flourish and has members in more than 80 countries. Esperanto is used internationally across language boundaries by at least 1 million people, particularly in specialized fields. It is used in personal contexts, on ' radio broadcasts and in a number of publications as well as in translations of both modern works and classics. Its popularity has spread form. Europe, both east and west, to such countries as Brazil and Japan. It is, however, in China that Esperanto has had its greatest impact. It is taught in universities and used in many translations, often in scientific or technological works. EL POPOLA CHINIO, which means from people's China, it's a monthly magazine in Esperanto and it's read worldwide. Radio Beijing's Esperanto program is the most popular program in Esperanto in the world. Esperanto vocabulary is drawn primarily from Latin, the Roman's languages, English and German. Spelling is completely regular. A simple and consistent set of endings indicates grammatical functions of words. Thus for example, every noun ends in "o", every adjective in "a", and basic form. of every verb in "i". Esperanto also has a highly productive system of constructing new words from old ones.
What does the speaker tell us about Esperanto？
A．It was invented by a group of language experts in the year of 1887.
B．It is a language that has its origin in ancient Polish.
C．It was created to promote economic globalization.
D．It is a tool of communication among speakers of different languages.

"Sometimes I feel like I need a translator to understand my own language," says Yoke Fujimura with little anger, a 60-year-old Tokyo restaurant worker. "It's becoming incomprehensible."
It's not only Japan who is on the defensive. Countries around the globe are wet through their hands over the rapid spread of American English. Coca-Cola, for example, is one of the most recognized terms on Earth.
It is made worse for Japan, however, by its unique writing system. The country writes all imported utterances—except Chinese—in a different script. called katakana(片假名). It is the only country to maintain such a distinction. Katakana takes far more space to write than kanji—the core pictograph (象形文字) characters that the Japanese borrowed from China 1,500 years ago. Because it stands out, readers complain that sentences packed with foreign words start to resemble extended strings of lights. As if that weren' t enough, katakana terms tend to get confusing. For example, digital camera first appears as degitaru kamera. Then they became the more ear-pleasing digi kamey. But kamey is also the Japanese word for turtle. "It's very frustrating not knowing what young people are talking about," says humorously Minom Shiratori, a 53-year-old bus driver. "Sometimes I can't tell if they're discussing cameras or turtles."
In a hid to stop the flood of katakana, the government has formed a Foreign Words Committee to find suitable Japanese replacements. The committee is slightly different from French-style. language police, which try to support a law that forbids advertising in English. Rather, committee members and traditionalists hope a sustained campaign of persuasion, gentle criticism and leadership by example can turn the tide.
According to the author, the reason why the Japanese is infected greatly by English is ______.
A．that nothing can prevent it from entering into Japan
B．that English is the most recognized language in the world
C．that the government has not set up a special administration department to control this trend before it becomes popular in Japan
D．not clearly mentioned in this passage

Some years ago I gave a dinner party during which I served a delicious hors d' oeuvre filled with a meat that tasted somewhat like chicken. My guests wondered what the meat was, but 1 refused to tell them until they had eaten their fill. I then explained that they had just dined on the flesh of freshly killed rattlesnake. The reaction was nausea--and in some cases violent vomiting. If I had served rattlesnake to a Chinese, he would doubtless had requested a second helping, for in China the dish is considered a delicacy.
Another interesting case is the young man I met recently in New York City. An American by birth, he had been removed from his native state of Oregon at the age of six months when his parents went to Japan as missionaries. Orphaned before his first birthday, he was reared by a Japanese family in a remote village. The young man was unmistakably American in appearance, with blond hair and blue eyes. But he had a Japanese style. of walking, Japanese facial expressions, and he thought like a Japanese. Though he had learned to speak English fluently, he felt uncomfortable and nut of place in an American city. He soon returned to Japan.
The best title of this passage is ______.
A．Cultural Conditioning
B．Our Parents' Values
C．American Customs
D．Taboos among the Chinese

CDC's team of “virus hunters” is supported by specialized public health teams both in West Africa and at the CDC Atlanta headquarters. Together, they offer continuous support to save lives and protect people. CDC works closely with a number of U.S. government agencies, national and international partners. CDC's experience of working with Ebola is important to the World Health Organization's growing West Africa Ebola response.
On Sept. 2, 2014, CDC Director, Tom Frieden called for more international partners to join this effort. “The sooner the world comes together to help West Africa, the safer we all will be. We know how to stop this outbreak. There is a window of opportunity to do so the challenge is to scale up the massive response needed to stop this outbreak.”
CDC's response to Ebola is the largest international outbreak response in CDC's history with over 100 disease specialists on the ground in West Africa, supported by hundreds of public health emergency response experts stateside , activated at Level 1, its highest level, because of the significance of this outbreak.
The CDC supports affected countries to establish Emergency Operations Centers at national and local levels and helps countries track the epidemic including using real-time data to improve real-time response.
Efforts in West Africa to identify those infected and track people who have come into contact with them are improving. The CDC is operating and supporting labs in the region to improve diagnosis and testing samples from people with suspected Ebola from around the world. Local health care systems are strengthened through communication, coordination with partners and training on infection control for health care workers and safe patient treatment.
26. The 2014 Ebola out bread ask is the first one in western countries.()
27. The headquarters of CDC is in Atlanta.()
28. CDC works closely with some US government agencies, national and international partners in response to the large Ebola outbreak.()
29. There were less than 100 disease specialists from CDC in West Africa for the Ebola response.()
30.CDC is operating and supporting labs in the region to test samples from people with suspected Ebola in West Africa.()

Get Paid for Teaching in China
I am a foreigner living in Chengdu, and I have been teaching English for over three years now. Anyone who doesn' t know — LISTEN UP! ! I was getting 3,000 yuan per month when I first arrived and didn' t know Jack about contracts. I thought I was getting a pretty good deal. Most first year teachers think this way. Now, I get no less than 5,500 yuan per month for a 12 hour work week plus all the other benefits (ex. air travel -- 10,000 yuan per year).
Don' t let their griping and complaining about how much foreigners get paid versus what they get paid dissuade YOU from getting paid. Feel free to e - mail me and ask for my "Bargaining Points" as well as a sample contract from the school I am now working at. The "Bargaining Points" is written in MS Word Format so I can attach it and send it to you, or you can simply ask me to copy them to a reply THEY include all the things you should watch out for (like the fact that no contract I ever heard of includes a "Personal Income Tax Benefit" where the school pays for taxes on income over 4,000 yuan per month. Get caught with your pants down on this one and just smile as wide as you can while you bend over. )
The only way the system will change is if everyone (meaning all foreigners) starts demanding the same thing and starts saying "NO" to the ridiculously low offers out there.
The best scenario for anyone wanting to work in China is to get the most money you can for the least hours, whatever that might turn out to be, and then to farm yourself out hourly to other schools, ff you don' t do it yourself, the schools will find a way to do it for you and in a way that they get the majority of the profits. I was doing this for 125 yuan per hour when I found out that here in Chengdu, 175 yuan per hour is the norm. Start at 200 and let them bargain you down to 175. In all, my situation has turned out to be very profitable. I live in a 225 sq meter apartment and pay all my own bills while living off campus. Last month I made 12,300 yuan working for three different schools and doing part -time tutoring work. Part of it was due to my availability to other schools on an hourly basis because of the low hours of my original contract.
This level of involvement also requires a more experienced individual who really knows their city and has made some few relationships to be able to make it work out properly to his/her own advantage without gaining the ire (愤怒) of the wrong people. It is a little risky at first, but once things are done properly in the Chinese way it is rather simpler than it seems.
MOST IMPORTANT IS TO SHARE THIS INFORMATION! ! HELPING OTHERS HELPS YOURSELF! ! If you have ANY questions at ANY time, feel free to e- mail me—I'd be all too happy to help.
As I said, just e -mail me and ask for "A copy of the MS Word documents which contain the Negotiating Points and the most recent contract" which I signed to begin the spring semester of 2006. Please note, when you read this, that the lines in BOLD text were the changes I made to the original contract. Sometimes I overwrote what they had, other times I added. Other sections were entirely my own additions resulting in the contract lengthening somewhat. In all, there are still some things I feel like I should have added - like getting paid vacations for foreign holidays (paid leave for Christmas and Thanksgiving for example) - but will have to remember to add those later in the next contract. These are not mentioned in my original Negotiating Points, but then again, living in China and not getting paid leave for those two holidays is not THAT big a deal anyway.
One last piece of advice Being able to make such changes usually requires a face - to - face, so don' t expect too much if you're bargaining over the internet or the phone. So, that said, you can sign whatever contract you want, bu

Earthquakes last only a few seconds. The rolling movements are called seismic waves. The seismic waves start in one place, called the epicenter, and roll outward. A seismic wave travels around the earth is a about twenty minutes. Usually, an. earthquake is strong enough to cause damage only near its epicenter.
However, epicenters at the bottom of the ocean create huge sea waves as tall as 15 meters. These waves cross the ocean in several hours. Rushing toward land, they destroy small islands and ships in their path. When they hit land, they flood coastal areas far from the epicenter of the earthquake. In 1868, a wave reached 4.5 kilometers inland in Peru. In 1896, a wave in Japan killed 27,000 people.
After an earthquake happens, people can die from lack of food, water, and medical supplies. The amount of destruction caused by an earthquake depends on where it happens, what time it happens, and how strong it is. It also depends on types of buildings, soil conditions, and population. Of the 6000 earthquakes in the world each year, only about fifteen cause great damage and many deaths.
In 1556, an earthquake in northern China killed 830,000 people--the most in history. There was no way to measure its strength. In 1935, scientists started using the Richter Scale to measure seismic waves. A seriously destructive earthquake measures 6.5or higher on the Richter Scale.
How can scientists predict earthquakes？ Earthquakes are not just scattered anywhere but happen in certain areas, places where pieces of the earth's surface meet. This pattern causes them to shake the same places many times. For example, earthquakes often occur on the west coasts of North and South America, around the Mediterranean Sea, and along the Pacific coast of Asia.
Another way to predict earthquakes is to look for changes in the earth's surface, like a sudden drop of water level in the ground. Some people say animals can predict earthquakes. Before earthquakes, people have seen chickens sitting in trees, fish jumping out of the water, snakes leaving their holes, and other animals acting strangely.
On February 4, 1975, scientists predicted an earthquake in northeastern China and told people in the earthquake zone to leave the cities. More than a million people moved into the surrounding countryside, into safe, open fields away from buildings. That afternoon, the ground rolled and shook beneath the people's feet, In seconds, 90 percent of the buildings in the city of Haicheng were destroyed. The decision to tel1 the people to leave the cities saved 10,000 lives.
However, more than a year later, on July 28, 1976, the scientists were not so lucky. East of Beijing, Chinese scientists were discussing a possible earthquake. During their meeting, the worst earthquake in modern times hit. Estimates of deaths ranged from 250,000 to 695,000. The earthquake measured 7.9 on the Richter Scale.
Earthquakes often come together with volcanic eruptions. In late 1984, strong earthquakes began shaking the Nevado del Ruiz volcano in Colombia every day. On November 14, 1985, it erupted. A nearby river became a sea of mud that buried four towns. This disaster killed more than 2100 people,
Mexico City has frequent earthquakes. An earthquake there on September 19, 1985, measured 8.1 on the Richter Scale and killed 7000 people. Most victims died when buildings fell on them.
San Francisco, California, also has frequent earthquakes. However, newer buildings there are built to be safe in earthquakes. Therefore, when all earthquake measuring 7.1 on t

The Asian Economic Crisis
Over the last several months, the economic news has been dominated by the crisis in East Asia—uncontrollable fluctuation in stock markets, widespread business and banking failures, and the sharp decline of currencies throughout the region. Americans are concerned when our stock market fluctuates in response, they wonder about our role in responding to the crisis, and they worry about the overall impact of the crisis on the U.S. economy.
What is the Crisis？
The economic trouble in East Asia is largely a banking and investment crisis linked to a collapse of investor confidence. Because East Asian economies are closely tied together, a series of problems—starting with a flawed exchange rate policy in Thailand this past summer—have quickly spilled over into neighboring countries. Five countries have been hit the hardest—Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, and to a lesser extent, Malaysia and the Philippines—but a total of thirteen countries have been affected. Taken together, these economies comprise approximately a third of the world economy. The sum of money involved make this the largest economic crisis in recent years, far larger than the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s or the Mexican peso crisis in 1995.
What Caused it？
For several years, Pacific Rim countries were growing rapidly. A huge wave of investment poured into these "Asian tiger" countries, but much of it was invested unwisely. In a word, there was too much of everything: over-investment, overloading, and over-building in ill-conceived real estate and industrial projects; over-saving, diverting the buying power from people; and over-guidance, with too many bureaucrats and government officials deciding which companies receive loans and investment. The region's successes Obscured banking and financial systems full of mismanagement and corruption. People ignored warning signs in the booming, rapidly changing economy, and overlooked the lack of reliable information and financial system safeguards.
How Serious is the Crisis？
The Asian financial turmoil represents a serious threat to global prosperity. We are clearly at a critical moment for Asia. The outlook today is better than it was a few weeks ago, with most markets showing signs of recovery. Yet we should not be complacent. The problem is that the loss of confidence can be highly contagious. If, for example, Indonesia's economy collapses, so could other nearby economies, and that could take down markets across the world. In addition, although the crisis has not spread to China, it faces some of the same problems as its neighbors. So clearly the main concern is that the crisis will not worsen and spread.
What is the Impact on the U.S.？
Most experts believe that the current turmoil will have a modest but meaningful impact on the U.S. Our economy is fundamentally strong and should be able to weather the current crisis. Moreover, as a result of our own financial crises in 1929 and in the 1980s, protections have been put in place to prevent most of the problems the East Asian economies are experiencing.
On the negative side, U.S. will likely see its trade deficit grow as changes in exchange rates make imports cheaper and our exports more expensive. Some U.S. companies could see lower profits and some job loss, and wages could be held down. The experts think that U.S. economic growth for 1998 could be cut by up to a point, to around 2%. On the positive side, cheaper imports mean lower prices for consumers and should help keep down inflation in the U.S. In addition, our interest rates are falling, as investors worried about East Asia shift their funds to the U.S. That means, for example, lower home mortgage(抵押) rates for Americans.
A greater fear is that the problems may undermine the political stability of the region and affect U
