What did Chinese entrepreneurs (企业家) speak
11、 in the forum? Are there some quotable quotes for you?Jack Ma, founder and executive chairman of Alibaba Group“I think globalization cannot be stopped no one can stop globalization, no one can stop trade. If trade stops, the world stops. Trade is the way to dissolve (溶解，结束) the war not cause the war
12、,” said Ma in Davos, “Google, Facebook, Amazon and Alibaba we are the luckiest companies of this century. But we have the responsibility to have a good heart, and do something good.”Richard Liu, founder and chief executive officer of JD“Business is not only a way to make money but also a way to cont
13、ribute yourself, to help people,” Liu said in a speech in Davos. “How can we face the fractured (分化的) world? Thats the topics of the Davos this year. I think a very important thing in business is cooperation. If we can unite, work together, if we work very closely, I think we can bring more hope to
14、the people and we can build more trust between the people, countries and companies and partners,” he said. Jane Sun, CEO of Ctrip“Tourism is a sunrise industry. Since I entered Ctrip, every year there are new comers, which, first of all, shows that tourism is booming.” Sun told S in Davos. “We inves
15、ted heavily in ABC. A refers to AI, B is big data, and C is cloud computing. As we continue to expand overseas, these three will be very good weapons for us. So we think those mean opportunity,” she said. Hu Xiaoming, president of Aliyun“In 2018, people will see the development in various countries
16、more closely connected with cloud computing. More manufacturing enterprises and financial institutions will start to use cloud, and cloud computing will increase the efficiency of technology and finance,” Hu told Xinhua in Davos.21.

18、ic development?A. Economy recovery. B. The World Economic Forum. C. Cloud computing.D. Financial efficiency.BIf you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple eat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to
19、 instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to
20、them at the time.The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory where people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago Univers
21、ity in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine foods role in earning trust.6In a test, participants were told to watch TV where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble (咬), while the TV people ate either
22、a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along,
23、we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions (交易) from the start.”Harley Street psychologist Dr. Lucy Atcheson said it was already known tha
24、t wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, “This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have common ground and can trust the other person. That means negotiations are more likely to be successful.”

What can be inferred from the passage?A. People w
27、ho eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.7B. People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.C. The effect of wearing similar clothes hasnt been proved by researchers.D. People are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.27. Whi

Where there is a will, there is a way.C“Tomorrow is another day” this line has impressed various people at various
29、 times. Its now 70 years after it appeared in the film, but it still seems to hold its power especially during an economic downturn. The phrase comes from a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchells successful 1936 novel Gone With the Wind. Its set in the American South and tells the story of a strong h
30、eroine, Scarlett O Hara, who struggles to find love during the Civil War and, afterwards, of her strength in surviving the war and its hardships.Love story In a moment of despair, Scarlett finally realizes that her love belongs to Rhett Butler. For many audiences, it is the theme of love and struggl
31、e that has kept the movie alive. While the burning of Atlanta might seem irrelevant (不相关的) to todays viewers, the timeless theme of love keeps its ability to touch people.With a promise to her lover still in her mind, Scarlett chooses to stay in the midst of war and take care of Melanie. But her hea
32、rt is broken when Rhett just walks away, leaving the woman that he once loved with cruel words, “Frankly, dear, I dont give a damn.” (毫不在乎)Great epic (史诗)8The film shows the love-hate relationship of these characters, but also American history, the fall of the Confederacy and the following period of
33、 Reconstruction in the South. The background made this film a true classic in the epic genre.When the film opened after World War II, French viewers loved it, and it reminded them of their fight against the Nazis. In 1940 Shanghai, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (侵略), peopl
34、e stood in line for hours to watch this film, and saw the same suffering they were having as well as the hope and possibility of building a new homeland from the ruins. Each nationality could identify with the story and see it as a victory. In fact, Gone With the Wind never lost its charm and abilit
35、y to inspire and amaze.Biggest of all timeThe film had five directors, 15-plus screenwriters, and an unexpected $3.9 million budget.

Music is playing. Glasses are
39、clinking. Dozens of conversations are driving up the decibel (分贝) level. Yet among all those distractions, you can tune your attention to just one voice from many. This ability is what researchers call the “cocktail-party effect”.Scientists at the University of California in San Francisco have found
40、 where that sound-editing process occurs in the brain in the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) just behind the ear, not in areas of higher thought. The auditory cortex boosts some sounds and turns down others so that when the signal reaches the higher brain, “its as if only one person was speaking alone,” says
41、 investigator Edward Chang.These findings, published in the journal Nature last week, explain why people arent very good at multitasking our brains are wired for “selective attention” and can focus on only one thing at a time. That inborn ability has helped humans survive in a world buzzing with vis
42、ual and auditory stimulation (刺激). But we keep trying to push the limits with multitasking, sometimes with tragic (悲剧的) consequences. Drivers talking on cellphones, for example, are four times as likely to get into traffic accidents as those who arent.Many of those accidents are due to “inattentiona
43、l blindness”, in which people can, in effect, turn a blind eye to things they arent focusing on. The more attention a task demands, the less attention we can pay to other things in our field of vision. Images land on our retinas (视网膜) and are either boosted or played down 10in the visual cortex befo
44、re being passed to the brain, just as the auditory cortex filters sounds, as shown in the Nature study last week. “Its a push-pull relationship the more we focus on one thing, the less we can focus on others,” says Diane M. Beck, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Illinois.Stu
45、dies over the past decade at the University of Utah show that drivers talking on hands-free cellphones are just as influenced as those on hands-held phones because it is the conversation, not the device, that is distracting their attention. Those talking on any kind of cellphone react more slowly an
46、d miss more traffic signals than other motorists.Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important like police officers learn to scan crowds for faces and conductors can listen for individual instruments within the orchestra as a whole. Many more think they can eff
47、ectively multitask, but are actually shifting their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either, experts say.32. What have scientists in University of California found about “the cocktail-party effect”?A. Usually there is only one person who is speaking alone.B. Al
48、l kinds of annoying sounds drive up the decibel level.C. The higher brain processes sounds and images selectively.D. Sounds are sorted out before reaching the higher brain.33. What do we learn from the passage?A. We are biologically incapable of multitasking.B. We survive distractions in life by multitasking.C. We cannot multitask without extra attention.D. We benefit from pushing the limit with multitasking.34. Which of the following is an example of “inattentional blindness”?A. A careless driver lost his eyesight after a car accident.11B. Police scanned the crowds and
