In response to the 1,300th anniversary of the poets birth, the meme, “Du Fu is busy,” is spreading through the Internet and turning the
26、iconic poet into a figure of fun.A meme is a cultural phenomenon. Its an idea or image that somehow strikes a chord with Internet users and prompts them to comment on it, change it, or use it in different situations. In Dus case, the meme is a picture of the poet taken from a textbook. The picture s
27、hows a very serious Du sitting on a rock, clothed in loose robes. His chin is pointed resolutely upward and his eyes gaze calmly into the distance. It is a picture of a man with a great mind and a heroic spirit.That image is changed in the meme. Du Fu is now seen holding a gun or listening to an iPo
28、d or dressed as a Japanese cartoon character. In todays world, it seems fewer people respect great minds or heroic spirits.This is sad because it means we are losing our sense of idealism. Du Fu led a life of poverty and humiliation. I visited his thatched cottage in Chengdu and imagined the hardshi
29、p he endured: the loneliness, the cold, and the hunger. Yet, hardship didnt kill his spirit, and his great poetry reflects his inner strength.Internet users may find that giving Du Fu the business is entertaining, but it cannot diminish his greatness. And that enduring image of greatness is the one
30、that truly matters.56. Which expression can be used to replace the underlined part in Para. 1?A. getting along very well with his business B. getting busier and busierC. becoming a successful businessman D. being made to look foolish57.

31、B. C. D. 58. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Meme is more and more popular. B. Du Fu is no longer a famous poet.C. Du Fu is getting the business. D. Du Fu has become a new hero.BCulture is one of the most challenging elements of the international marketplace. This system of learned behavior pa
32、tterns characteristic of the members of a given society is constantly shaped by a set of dynamic variables: language, religion, values and attitudes, manners and customs, aesthetics, technology, education, and social institutions. To cope with this system, an international manager needs both factual
33、 and interpretive knowledge of culture. To some extent, the factual knowledge can be learned; its interpretation comes only through experience.The most complicated problems in dealing with the cultural environment lie in the fact that one cannot learn cultureone has to live it. Two schools of though
34、t exist in the business world on how to deal with cultural diversity. One is that business is business the world around, following the model of Pepsi and McDonalds. In some cases, globalization is a fact of life; however, cultural differences are still far from converging (会合).The other school propo
35、ses that companies must adapt business approaches to individual cultures. Setting up policies and procedures in each country has been compared to an organ transplant; the critical question centers around acceptance or rejection. The major challenge to the international manager is to make sure that r
36、ejection is not a result of cultural myopia(近视) or even blindness.Fortune examined the international performance of a dozen large companies that earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas. The internationally successful companies all share an important quality: patience. They have not rushed
37、into situations but rather built their operations carefully by following the most basic business principles. These principles are to know your adversary(对手), know your audience, and know your customer.59. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. All international managers can lear
38、n culture.B. Business diversity is not necessary. C. Views differ on how to treat culture in business world. D. Most people do not know foreign culture well.60. According to the author, the model of Pepsi_. A. is in line with the theories that the business is business the world around B. is differen
39、t from the model of McDonalds C. shows the reverse of globalization D. has converged cultural differences61. The two schools of thought_. A. both propose that companies should adapt business approaches to individual cultures B. both advocate that different policies be set up in different countries C
40、. both admit the existence of cultural diversity in business world D. both A and B62. This article is supposed to be most useful for those _. A. who are interested in researching the topic of cultural diversity B. who have connections to more than one type of culture C. who want to travel abroad D.

50、 with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst, Beautiful Inside My Head Forever, at Sothebys in London on September 15th 2008. All but two pieces sold, fetching more than 70m, a record for a sale by a single artist. It was a last victory. As the auctioneer called out bids, in New York one of the oldest b
51、anks on Wall Street, Lehman Brothers, filed for bankruptcy, starting the most severe financial crisis since the 1920s.The world art market had already been losing momentum(势头) for a while after rising confusingly since 2003. At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $65 billion, thinks Clare McAndrew, f
52、ounder of Arts Economics, a research firm double the figure five years earlier. Since then it may have come down to $50 billion. But the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth, enormous egos(自负), greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few ot
53、her industries.In the weeks and months that followed Mr. Hirsts sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable. In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Sales of contemporary art fell by two-thirds, and in the most overheated sector, they were down by
54、nearly 90% in the year to November 2008. Within weeks the worlds two biggest auction houses, Sothebys and Christies, had to pay out nearly $200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them.The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japanese stopped buying Impr
55、essionists at the end of 1989. This time experts suppose that prices are about 40% down on their peak on average, though some have been far more volatile (动荡的). But Edward Dolman, Christies chief executive, says, “Im pretty confident were at the bottom.”What makes this fall different from the last,
56、he says, is that there are still buyers in the market, while in the early 1990s, when interest rates were high, there was no demand even though many collectors wanted to sell. Christies earnings in the first half of 2009 were still higher than in the first half of 2006. Almost everyone who was inter
57、viewed for this special report said that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good work to sell. The three Ds death, debt and divorce still deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return.67
58、. In the first paragraph, Damien Hirsts sale was referred to as “a last victory” because _.A. the art market had witnessed a succession of victoriesB. the auctioneer finally got the two pieces at the highest bidsC. Beautiful inside My Head Forever won over all masterpiecesD. it was successfully made
59、 just before the world financial crisis68. What do we learn about the art market from the passage?A. Nobody has confidence in the future of the art market.B. The art market surpassed many other industries in momentum.C. The art market generally went downward in various ways.D. Sales of contemporary
60、art rose dramatically from 2007 to 2008.69. The three Ds mentioned in the last paragraph are .A. auction houses favorites B. contemporary trends C. factors promoting artwork circulationD. styles representing impressionists70. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. Art market in decline.B. Up-to-
61、date art auctions. C. Volatility of art prices. D. Shifted interest in arts.IV.任务型阅读Simply increasing physical activity levels alone is unlikely to reduce body weight in young children, and therefore will probably not prevent obesity (肥胖), although it may set the stage for a healthier lifestyle, the
62、 results of a study conducted in Scotland suggest.Instead, a combination of increased physical activity and other lifestyle changes like sticking to a healthy diet may be needed to stop the trend of obesity. “Many children are obese, even at preschool age,” Dr John J. Reilly from the University of G
63、lasgow and his colleagues note in the British Medical Journal. Considering the general lack of evidence on proper ways to prevent obesity in this age group, Reillys team had 545 children from 36 nursery schools in the “Movement and Activity Glasgow Intervention (干预) in Children” or MAGIC trial.The t
64、rial was specifically designed to see if an increase in activity could reduce body mass index (身体质量指数). Each week for 24 weeks roughly half of the preschoolers, who were an average of 4.2 years old, participated in three 30-minute active workouts while at nursery school and their parents were encour
65、aged to increase the childs activity levels at home. The other half of the children, serving as contrasts, followed their usual nursery school schedule.According to the researchers, the physical activity intervention had no significant effect on body mass index of the children.However, compared with
66、 contrast children, intervention children show greater gains in body movement skills, which, the researchers say, may increase confidence in physical ability, perhaps increasing the opportunities of future participation in physical activity or sports.In a word, Reilly and his colleagues suggest that
67、 “successful interventions to prevent obesity in early childhood may require changes not just at nursery, school, and home, but in the wider environment. Changes in other behaviors, including diet, may also be necessary.”TopicWhether exercise alone can 71_ obesity in young children.ResearchersDr Joh
