ffice Box 1072 28 Kings Street London Dear Ms. Weston, Performance of the CPT Equipment Im pleased to tell you about our experience with the CPT Word Processor as you requested recently. G (example) I assume you have looked at several machines and have narrowed down your choices. Here are my observations. An approach to adopting word processors Eighteen months ago we adopted CPT equipment on limited scale with the idea in mind that we could gradually get rid of electric typewriters as we became familiar with the word processor. (8)_______The stations are arranged in pairs so each pair can share a common printer. (9)_______We use the equipment as dedicated word processors, although we do have the ability to link up with our computer installations. The step-at-a-time development of our word-processing center has, we think, saved us money and training time. (10)_______Performance In terms of performance, the CPT equipment is excellent. (11)_______ Moreover our service contract and warranty have covered all maintenance costs. We have software packages that check spelling and signal when a mistake occurs. (12)_______Using both printers, we recently prepared 1, 200 individually typed letters for mailing in under four hours. We have no complaint about our preparation of executive reports. A．We have not yet experienced mechanical problems SO far． B．Also it has reduced the confusion that exists about buying software packages． C．The train stops at each station for only fifteen minutes． D．We began with two work stations and now have four． E．Our routine letters are prepared from disc—stored masters． F．The Rotary W printer prints with a speed of 45 characters a second can easily handle two input stations． G．We are pleased with its performance and multi-functions． 第(8)题答案是

disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.

Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.

Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may begenerous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.

For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!

1.The writer of this passage must be a Chinese.()

2. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.()

3.From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be warmly welcomed at the airport.()

4.The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean willing to spend time.

5.A suitable title for this passage would probably be “Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships”.()

Section A

It is no coincidence that the development of the relationship between our countries has accompanied a period of positive change. (76) China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty—an accomplishment unparalleled in human history—while playing a larger role in global e-vents. The United States has seen our economy improve along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people, while the Cold War was brought to a successful conclusion.

(77) There is a Chinese proverb, " Consider the past, and you shall know the future. " Surely, we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30 years. Our relationship has not been without disagreement and difficulty. But the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined— not when we consider the past. Indeed, because of our cooperation, both the United States and China are more prosperous and more secure. We have seen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests, and engage on the basis of mutual respect.

However, the success of that engagement depends upon understanding, on sustaining an open dialogue, and learning about one another and from one another. (78) Just as the American table tennis player, Forest Gump, pointed out—we share much in common as human beings, but our countries are different in certain ways.

I believe that each country must chart its own course. (79) China is an ancient nation, with a deeply rooted culture. The United States by comparison, is a young nation, whose culture is determined by the many different immigrants who have come to our shores, and by the founding documents that guide our democracy.

In addition to your growing economy, we admire China' s extraordinary commitment to science and research—a commitment borne out in everything from the infrastructure you build to the technology you use. China is now the world' s largest Internet user—which is why we were so pleased to include the Internet as a part of today' s event. This country, now has the world' s largest mobile phone network, and it is investing in the new forms of energy that can both sustain growth and combat climate change. I' m looking forward to deepening the partnership between the United States and China in this critical area tomorrow. (80) However, above all, I see China' s future in you—young people whose talent, dedication and dreams will do so much to help shape the 21st century.
