单选题 It's not that we are afraid of seeing him stumble, of scribbling a mustache over his career. Sure, the nice part of us wants Mike to know we appreciate him, that he still reigns, at least in our memory. The truth, though, is that we don't want him to come back because even for Michael Jordan, this would be an act of hubris so monumental as to make his trademark confidence twist into conceit. We don't want him back on the court because no one likes a show-off. The stumbling? That will be fun. But we are nice people, we Americans, with 225 years of optimism at our backs. Days ago when M.J. said he had made a decision about returning to the NBA in September, we got excited. He had said the day before, 'I look forward to playing, and hopefully I can get to that point where I can make that decision. It's O.K. to have some doubt, and it's O.K. to have some nervousness.' A Time/CNN poll last week has Americans, 2 to 1, saying they would like him on the court ASAR And only 21 percent thought that if he came back and just completely bombed, it would damage his legend. In fact only 28 percent think athletes should retire at their peak. Sources close to him tell Time that when Jordan first talked about a comeback with the Washington Wizards, the team Jordan co-owns and would play for, some of his trusted advisers privately tried to discourage him. 'But they say if they try to stop him, it will only firm up his resolve,' says an NBA source. The problem with Jordan's return is not only that he can't possibly live up to the storybook ending he gave up in 1998 — earning his sixth ring with a last-second championship-winning shot. The problem is that the motives for coming back — needing the attention, needing to play even when his 38-year-old body does not — violate the very myth of Jordan, the myth of absolute control. Babe Ruth, the 20th century's first star, was a gust of fat bravado and drunken talent, while Jordan ended the century by proving the elegance of resolve; Babe's pointing to the bleachers replaced by the charm of a backpedaling shoulder shrug. Jordan symbolized success by not sullying his brand with his politics, his opinion or superstar personality. To be a Jordan fan was to be a fan of classiness and confidence. To come back when he knows that playing for Wizards won't get him anywhere near the second round of the play-offs, when he knows that he won't be the league scoring leader, that's a loss of control. Jordan does not care what we think. Friends say that he takes articles that tell him not to come back and tacks them all on his refrigerator as inspiration. So why bother writing something telling him not to come back? He is still Michael Jordan.

单选题 2012年10月11日，有网友在微博发消息称：“中国式过马路，就是凑够一撮人就可以走了，和红绿灯无关。”微博同时还配了一张行人过马路的照片，虽然从照片上看不到交通信号灯，但有好几位行人并没有走在斑马线上，而是走在旁边的机动车变道路标上，其中有推着婴儿车的老人，也有电动车、卖水果的三轮车。 这条微博引起了不少网友的共鸣，一天内被近10万网友转发。网友纷纷跟帖“太具象了”、“同感”、“在济南就是这样”，还有网友惭愧的表示，自己也是“闯灯大军”中的一员。 对中国人习惯闯灯的原因，网友大致有以下观点： 1．有网友表示，是因为大家“素质太差”。 2．有的马路宽，信号灯时间太短，一个信号灯根本走不完，所以只能红灯的时候就开始过。 3．转弯的汽车根本不让行人，所以才成了“红灯大家一起过，绿灯小心点过”。 北京将把全面治理行人及非机动车交通违法行为作为交通秩序整治的重点，通过纠正、教育、批评和处罚等措施治理“中国式过马路”现象。 北京交管部门对态度蛮横、拒不服从纠正，有妨碍民警执行公务甚至是袭警行为的违法人员，将坚决依法严格进行处理。同时，还将通过完善交通设施、优化交通信号等措施，为行人及非机动车守法出行创造基础条件。

单选题 Para. 1 ①If his diaries are any indication, Andy Warhol had little affection for Richard Avedon. ②In an entry from December 1976, Warhol recalled running into a woman they both knew at a dinner party in New York. Para. 2 ①'We talked about how horrible Avedon is,' Warhol wrote. ②'She said he gets what he wants out of a person and then drops them. ③I agreed and then everybody screamed at me that I do the same thing.' Para. 3 ①Whatever their animosities, Avedon and Warhol are being posthumously paired in an exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery. ②The show, which runs through April 23rd, presents 33 Warhol silk-screens and 22 Avedon works (including a single series of 69 portraits) dating from the 1950s to the 1990s. Para. 4 At first glance, they form an awkward tandem, as towering figures in separate artistic disciplines. Para. 5 ①But they had similar backgrounds and early career trajectories. ②Born five years apart in the 1920s to East European immigrant families, they got their starts in the New York fashion world, both working for Bonwit Teller and Harper's Bazaar. ③Although their paths then diverged—Avedon shifting from fashion photography to portraiture and Warhol becoming a painter and filmmaker and a Pop Art stalwart—they moved in the same New York circles, often portraying the same people. Para. 6 ①The Gagosian is illustrating that overlap, eager to present the two men as equals who documented similar themes from different angles, thrusting aside hierarchical distinctions between painting and photography. ②The exhibition also has a commercial logic: It presents the work of two hugely famous artists, one of whom (Avedon) has the advantage of being relatively affordable. Para. 7 ①The idea for a combined exhibition came up after the Avedon Foundation—a nonprofit organization that owns Avedon's photographs, negatives and archives and raises money through print sales—made the Gagosian its exclusive representative. ②The gallery thought of twinning Avedon with an artist 'to change people's ideas about photography and the standing of photography in the world,' said Kara Vander Weg, a director of the Gagosian in New York. Para. 8 Donna De Salvo, a deputy director of the Whitney Museum who curated Tate Modem's 2002 Warhol retrospective, and who is staging one at the Whitney, described Avedon and Warhol as a 'provocative pairing' but a valid one, though she had not yet seen the Gagosian show. Para. 9 ①'Avedon's work to me was always on this fine line between fashion and high art, and that's the line Warhol walked as well,' Ms. De Salvo said. ②She noted that the two artists did in fact share a medium: 'Warhol would be inconceivable without the photographic image. ③It's so deeply embedded.' Para. 10 ①She described Avedon as a 'giant' of photography who was a worthy exhibition companion for Warhol. ②In any event, 'nobody can diminish Warhol: You can put him with just about anything,' she said. ③'He becomes a great foil to play off.'

单选题 'Bayer is strictly committed to bee health,' said Gillian Mansfield, an official specializing in strategic messaging at the company's Bayer CropScience division. She was sitting at the center's semicircular coffee bar, which has a formidable espresso maker and, if you ask, homegrown Bayer honey. On the surrounding walls, bee fun facts are written in English, like 'A bee can fly at roughly 16 miles an hour' or, it takes 'nectar from some two million flowers in order to produce a pound of honey.' While others point at pesticides, Bayer has funded research that blames mites for the bee die-off. And the center combines resources from two of the company's divisions, Bayer CropScience and Bayer Animal Health, to further study the mite menace. 'The varroa is the biggest threat we have,' said Manuel Tritschler, 28, a third-generation beekeeper who works for Bayer. 'It's very easy to see them, the mites, on the bees,' he said, holding a test tube with dead mites suspended in liquid. 'They suck the bee blood, from the adults and from the larvae, and in this way they transport a lot of different pathogens, virus, bacteria, fungus to the bees,' he said.

单选题 长期以来西方人一直怀疑由草药制成的中成药是否有效。在过去的几年内，中国传统医药在世界范围内经历了严格的科学审查。 为证明和提高传统治疗方法的效益，中国大陆投入了巨资在这方面进行艰苦研究。香港一直在努力使自己成为世界上传统中医研究的带头人。台湾也提出它将把自己建成一个中医技术中心。 传统中医药的研究工作在亚洲以外地区的大学和其它机构也蓬勃开展。这些揭开传统医学秘密的研究工作可能会为中西医都大感头疼的疾病患者带来福音。 尽管在理论上中西医之间还存在着分歧，一些对中医药感兴趣的著名国际制药公司已开始在中国实施小规模的研究项目。一批新药已在亚洲各地接受试验。

单选题 Para. 1 ①'You understand grandmother when she talks to you, don't you, darling?' ②The girl nods. ③Johnson, the reporter, met her—and her Danish mother and English father—at the airport, en route to Denmark. ④The parents were eager to discuss their experience of bringing up their daughter bilingually in London. ⑤It isn't easy: the husband does not speak Danish, so the child hears the language only from her mother, who has come to accept that she will reply in English. Para. 2 ①This can be painful. ②Not sharing your first language with loved ones is hard. ③Not passing it on to your own child can be especially tough. ④Many expat and immigrant parents feel a sense of failure; they wring their hands and share stories on parenting forums and social media, hoping to find the secret to nurturing bilingual children successfully. Para. 3 ①Children are linguistic sponges, but this doesn't mean that cursory exposure is enough. ②They must hear a language quite a bit to understand it—and use it often to be able to speak it comfortably. ③This is mental work, and a child who doesn't have a motive to speak a language—either a need or a strong desire—will often avoid it. ④Children's brains are already busy enough. Para. 4 ①So languages often wither and die when parents move abroad. ②In the past, governments discouraged immigrant families from keeping their languages. ③Teddy Roosevelt worried that America would become a 'polyglot boarding-house'. ④These days, officials tend to be less interventionist; some even see a valuable resource in immigrants' language abilities. ⑤Yet many factors conspire to ensure that children still lose their parents' languages, or never learn them. Para. 5 ①A big one is institutional pressure. ②A child's time spent with a second language is time not spent on their first. ③So teachers often discourage parents from speaking their languages to their children. ④(This is especially true if the second language lacks prestige.) ⑤Parents often reluctantly comply, worried about their offspring's education. ⑥This is a shame; children really can master two languages or even more. ⑦Research does indeed suggest their vocabulary in each language may be somewhat smaller for a while. ⑧But other studies hint at cognitive advantages among bilinguals. ⑨They may be more adept at complex tasks, better at maintaining attention, and (at the other end of life) suffer the onset of dementia later. Para. 6 ①Even without those side-effects, though, a bilingual child's connection to relatives and another culture is a good thing in itself. ②How to bring it about? ③Sabine Little, a German linguist at the University of Sheffield, recommends letting the child forge their own emotional connection to the language. ④Her son gave up on German for several years before returning to it. ⑤She let him determine when they would speak it together. ⑥They joke about his Anglo-German mash-ups and incorporate them into their lexicon. ⑦Like many youngsters, his time on the Internet is restricted—but he is allowed more if he uses it in German. ⑧Ms Little suggests learning through apps and entertainment made for native speakers. Para. 7 ①Languages are an intimate part of identity; it is wrenching to try and fail to pass them on to a child. ②Success may be a question of remembering that they are not just another thing to be drilled into a young mind, but a matter of the heart.

单选题 第一段 ①中国旅游研究院以“促进中国旅游产业发展和国际交流的政府智库、业界智囊、学术高地”为建设宗旨，致力于旅游研究与数据分析，促进旅游业发展。②重点开展旅游业发展基础理论、政策和重点、热点问题的研究。 第二段 ③中国旅游研究院现设三个行政部门、五个研究所和一个实验室。④行政部门设办公室、科研管理部和学术推广部；研究部门包括旅游政策与发展战略研究所、旅游产业运行与企业发展研究所、区域旅游发展与规划研究所、国际旅游研究所、旅游统计与经济分析中心、国家旅游经济实验室。⑤依托高等院校和科研院所，成立了十四家外设研究机构，包括昆明分院、武汉分院、旅游市场与目的地营销研究基地、边境旅游研究基地和旅游学术评价研究基地。⑥此外，根据旅游发展的需要，还与国内外的教学科研机构和大型旅游企事业单位建立了合作办学机构。

单选题 第一段 ①当前，人类社会正处在一个大发展大变革大调整时代。②世界多极化、经济全球化、社会信息化、文化多样化深入发展，人类已经成为你中有我、我中有你的命运共同体。③同时，我们也处在一个挑战频发的世界，地区热点持续动荡，恐怖主义蔓延肆虐，和平赤字、发展赤字、治理赤字是摆在全人类面前的严峻挑战。 第二段 ④中国和德国作为世界第二和第四大经济体、主要贸易大国、具有重要影响力的国家，中德两国要发展好自己，也要对世界和地区和平、稳定、繁荣肩负起重要责任。⑤我们要加强对两国关系的顶层设计，以更加宽广的胸襟和开阔的视野谋划两国关系发展蓝图。⑥发挥各层级机制性对话的引领作用，就双边关系及重大国际和地区问题加强战略沟通。⑦通过平等对话和友好协商妥善处理分歧，在涉及彼此核心利益和重大关切问题上相互理解和支持。

单选题 Para. 1 ①Think of the upper echelons of the money-management business, and the image that springs to mind is of fusty private banks in Geneva or London's May-fair, with marble lobbies and fake country-house meeting-rooms designed to make their super-rich clients feel at home. ②But that picture is out of date. ③A more accurate one would feature hundreds of glassy private offices in California and Singapore that invest in Canadian bonds and European property. Para. 2 ①Global finance is being transformed as billionaires get richer and cut out the middlemen by creating their own 'family offices', personal investment firms that roam global markets looking for opportunities. ②Family offices have become a force in investing, with up to $4 trn of assets—more than hedge funds and equivalent to 6% of the value of the world's stock markets. ③As they grow even bigger in an era of populism, family offices are destined to face uncomfortable questions about how they concentrate power and feed inequality. Para. 3 ①The concept is hardly new; John Rocke-feller set up his family office in 1882. ②But the number has exploded this century. ③Somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 are based in America and Europe and in Asian hubs such as Singapore and Hong Kong. ④Though their main task is to manage financial assets, the biggest offices, some with hundreds of staff, undertake all sorts of other chores, from tax and legal work to acting as high-powered butlers who book jets and pamper pets. Para. 4 ①The costs of bringing such expertise in-mansion means that they generally make sense only for those worth over $100 m, the top 0.001% of the global pile. ②Asian tycoons have created their own fiefs. ③The largest Western family offices, such as the one set up by George Soros, an investor and philanthropist, oversee tens of billions and are as muscular as Wall Street firms, competing with banks and private-equity groups to buy whole companies. Para. 5 ①Every investment boom reflects the society that spawned it. ②The humble mutual fund came of age in the 1970s after two decades of middle-class prosperity in America. ③The rise of family offices reflects soaring inequality. ④The number of billionaires is still growing. ⑤Family offices' weight in the financial system, therefore, looks likely to rise further. ⑥As it does, the objections to them will rise exponentially. ⑦The most obvious of these is the least convincing—that family offices have created inequality. ⑧They are a consequence, not its cause. Para. 6 ①Nonetheless, there are concerns. ②The first is that family offices could endanger the stability of the financial system. ③The second worry is that family offices could magnify the power of the wealthy over the economy. ④It is the third danger that has most bite: that family offices might have privileged access to information, deals and tax schemes, allowing them to outperform ordinary investors. Para. 7 ①The answer is vigilance and light. ②Most regulators, treasuries and tax authorities are beginners when it comes to dealing with family offices, but they need to ensure that rules on insider trading, the equal servicing of clients by dealers and parity of tax treatment are observed. ③And they should prod family offices with assets of over, say, $10 bn to publish accounts detailing their workings. ④In return, they should be free to operate unmolested. ⑤They may even have something to teach hordes of flailing asset managers who serve ordinary investors, many of whom may look at their monthly fees and wish that they, too, could ditch the middlemen.

单选题 与你的个人外表和自我态度一样，你做生意的方式也可以使客户产生良好的印象。当拜访客户时，很重要的一点是谈话开门见山。他并不会真的对你所谈论的天气状况，前一天晚上的总统演说，或是星期天的橄榄球赛感兴趣。他也不会对你夸奖他的西装好看，和墙上的照片中他女儿的美丽感兴趣。这样的闲聊是一种不真诚的表现形式，而且侵占了他的时间。我一直认为直截了当是最有效的，因此我向你保证任何一个商人都会因为你能这样做而对你尊重有加 正如外表决定了人的第一印象，外表也同样决定了一种产品，一个地方及一个公司的第一印象。 比方说，你也许注意到了生意兴隆饭店的泊车服务生会把劳斯莱斯、奔驰一凯迪拉克等汽车停在最显眼的位置，这样你在走向饭店门口的时候一定会看到它们。我过去以为这么做是因为有钱人给了更多小费，但真实的原因是每个成功的饭店经营者都懂得良好的形象能推销食品。他想告诉公众：我们招待的是懂格调的客人。因此，很明显，我们的食物一定是精心烹饪的。 一个干净整洁的外表也表示你讲效率有条理—我所知道的公司无不希望拥有这样的形象。如果你曾经走进过汽车维修站一间干净而整齐的车库，我确信你会和别人一样，认为把车留在那里维修感觉更舒服一些。

单选题 第一段 ①中国与中东欧国家传统友谊深厚，政治互信度高，都将对方视为重要合作伙伴。②双方经济发展势头良好，在市场、资源、产业、技术、资金等方面互有优势。③目前双方贸易额只占中欧贸易总额的11%，投资存量占比仅为2%左右，还有很大潜力可挖。④特别是随着“一带一路”建设的推进，“16+1合作”迎来了前所未有的机遇。 第二段 ⑤经过几年的共同努力，“16+1合作”的方向明确了，框架构建了，基础打牢了。⑥下一步要适应国际形势变化、顺应业界期盼，营造更加自由开放的贸易投资环境，出台更加精准的政策举措，推动“16+1合作”扩容提质升级。⑦本届论坛主题为“深化经贸金融合作，促进互利共赢发展”，就是要更好发挥经贸、金融两大“引擎”的作用，让“16+1合作”之舟行稳致远。

单选题 Para. 1 ①When fathers appear in children's picture books, they're angling for laughs, taking their sons on adventures or modeling physical strength or stoic independence. ②There is the rare exception in children's books where a father baldly demonstrates—without symbolic gestures—his love for his son. ③Just as women's studies classes have long examined the ways that gendered language undermines women and girls, a growing body of research shows that stereotypical messages are similarly damaging to boys. Para. 2 ①A study in Pediatrics found that mothers interacted vocally more often with their infant daughters than they did their infant sons. ②In a different study, a team of British researchers found that Spanish mothers were more likely to use emotional words and emotional topics when speaking with their 4-year-old daughters than with their 4-year-old sons. ③Interestingly, the same study revealed that daughters were more likely than sons to speak about their emotions with their fathers when talking about past experiences. ④And during these reminiscing conversations, fathers used more emotion-laden words with their 4-year-old daughters than with their 4-year-old sons. Para. 3 ①What's more, a study led by Emory University researchers discovered, among other things, that fathers also sing and smile more to their daughters, and they use language that is more 'analytical' and that acknowledges their sadness far more than they do with their sons. ②The words they use with sons are more focused on achievement—such as 'win' and 'proud.' ③Researchers believe that these discrepancies in fathers' language may contribute to 'the consistent findings that girls outperform boys in school achievement outcomes.' Para. 4 ①Judy Chu, a human biologist, conducted a two-year study of 4- and 5-year-old boys and found that they were as astute as girls at reading other people's emotions and at cultivating close, meaningful friendships. ②In her book 'When Boys Become Boys' she maintains that by the time the boys reached first grade, sometimes earlier, they traded their innate empathy for a learned stoicism and greater emotional distance from friends. ③Interestingly, they adopted this new behavior in public, exclusively, but not at home or when their parents were around. Para. 5 Why do we limit the emotional vocabulary of boys? Para. 6 ①We tell ourselves we are preparing our sons to fight (literally and figuratively), to compete in a world and economy that's brutish and callous. ②The sooner we can groom them for this dystopian future, the better off they'll be. ③But the Harvard psychologist Susan David insists the opposite is true: 'Research shows that people who suppress emotions have lower-level resilience and emotional health.' Para. 7 ①How can we change this? ②we can start, says Dr. David, by letting boys experience their emotions, all of them, without judgment—or by offering them solutions. ③This means helping them learn the crucial lessons that 'Emotions aren't good or bad' and that 'their emotions aren't bigger than they are. ④They aren't something to fear.'
