22．（8分）From National to International
Do you have what it takes!
It’s our job to help you make that leap?
The world is waiting. Are you ready?
Is your small business ready to make that next step and expand abroad? A recent survey estimates that up to 40% of all small businesses are intending to do just that. Is your business making up this 40%? Making that move and expanding onto the international market require a different approach from the one you’re used to. On a national level, it is often enough to sell the right product at the right price. Failure to adopt a different sales approach on the international market can often lead to failure as international customers expect different things. This is why we come in. The right knowledge and the right preparation can make all the difference on the international level.
The main aspects of the program we offer are:
1. How can weaknesses be identified and reduced?
2. How are cultural differences handled in the business world?
3. In-depth knowledge of district law, how does it help?
4. How can we target the right kind of international customers and how can we finance this bigger, more complicated international operation?
5. What can be done to create a foolproof (万无一失的) business plan?
Cost of the course: $2, 000 per person. If 4 or more people apply from the same company, then discounts can be arranged. Course times can be changed to accommodate your employees’ schedule. Most importantly, this course is fully accredited by some top level colleges and universities.
1、Who will most likely benefit from this course?
A．Anybody not interested in business administration.
B．A small international business manager.
C．An individual running a small company.

23．（8分） Chinese scientists recently have produced two monkeys with the same gene，Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua，using the same technique that gave us Dolly the sheep. These monkeys are not actually the first primates（灵长目动物）to be cloned. Another one named Tetra was produced in the late 1990s by embryo splitting（分裂），the division of an early-stage embryo into two or four separate cells to make clones. By contrast，Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua were each made by replacing an egg cell nucleus（细胞核）with DNA from a different body cell. This Dolly method，known as somatic cell nuclear transfer（SCNT），can create more clones and allows researchers greater control over the edits they make to the DNA．
Success came from adopting several new techniques. These included a new type of microscope to better view the cells during handling or using several materials that encourage cell reprogramming，which hadn't been tried before on primates. Still，the research process proved difficult, and many attempts by the team failed. Just two healthy baby monkeys were born from more than 60 tested mothers. This led to many researchers' pouring water on the idea that the team's results bring scientists closer to cloning humans. They thought this work is not a stepping stone to establishing methods for obtaining live born human clones. Instead, this clearly remains a very foolish thing to attempt, it would be far too inefficient, far too unsafe, and it is also pointless.
But the scientists involved emphasized that this is not their goal. There is now no barrier to cloning primate species, thus cloning humans is closer to reality. However, their research purpose is entirely to produce non-human primate models for human diseases; they absolutely have no intention, and society will not permit this work to be extended to humans. Despite limitations, they treat this breakthrough as a novel model system for scientists studying human biology and diseases.
1、What do we know about the technology called SCNT?
A．It created the first two primates.
B．It may contribute to editing the DNA．
C．It can divide an early-stage embryo into several cells.
D．It produced two cloned monkeys with different genes.
2、What does the author mean by“pouring water on the idea”in Paragraph 2?
A．Keeping a hot topic of it.
B．Having a low opinion of it.
C．Attaching no importance to it.
D．Adding supportive evidence to it.
3、What is the scientists' purpose of cloning these monkeys?
A．To help with the study of human diseases.
B．To serve as a stepping stone to new techniques.
C．To prepare for their research on human cloning.
D．To raise money for studying human biology.
4、What can we infer from the passage？
A．New techniques seem to be pointless.
B．Cloning humans is already on its way.
C．Society won't agree to clone another monkey.
D．The success rate of cloning a monkey is not high.
24．（8分） Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any prize. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
1、Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
A．the reasons for success B．the standards of success
C．the importance of success D．what people think success is
2、Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________.
A．work makes one feel pain B．one tends to enjoy his work
C．it takes a lot of time to succeed D．one gives up his work easily
3、What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A．Successful people like to show their great skills.
B．People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
C．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
4、What is the main theme of the passage?
A．Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
B．One cannot succeed without time and practice.
C．Having a goal is very important to success.
D．Being good is different from being great.
25．（10分）Revolutionary TV Ears
TV Ears has helped thousands of people with various degrees of hearing loss hear the television clearly without turning up the volume(音量) and now it’s better and more affordable than ever! With TV Ears wireless technology, you set your own headset volume, while other TV listeners hear the television at a volume level that’s comfortable for them. You can even listen through the headset only and put the TV on mute(静音) if the situation calls for a quiet environment —maybe the baby is sleeping. Or perhaps you are the only one who is interested in listening to the ballgame.
TV Ears patented technology includes a revolutionary noise reduction car tip, not used in any other commercially available headset. This tip reduces outside noise so that television dialogue is clear and understandable. Get the technology that has proven to help the most demanding customers. That’s why TV Ears has earned the trust and confidence of audiologists(听觉学家) nationwide as well as world-famous doctors.
Doctor Recommended TV Ears!
“My wife and I have used TV Ears almost daily for the past two years and find them a great help in our enjoyment of television . As a retired ear doctor, I heartily recommend TV Ears to people with normal hearing as well as those with hearing loss.”
— Robert Forbes, M. D, CA
