Professional courses, such as Masters in International Business or MIB, have been taken by many students in the last two decades. They are choosing new- age unconventional courses that guarantee a better future. MIB is a specialized course that teaches the international business. There are solid reasons for so much popularity of MIB course.
The course content and teaching methods of MIB differ from a normal MBA or Master of Business Administration. It has been designed with the objective of developing professionals with an in-depth understanding and knowledge of the international trade. The course offers various advantages over the conventional MBA degree course.
The massive increase in the international business and foreign trade gives excellent job prospects to the new generation. Acquiring a degree of MIB offers outstanding growth of job opportunities. Those who want to pursue in the field of marketing also have a good future after completing the degree from a MIB college with a good reputation. Big multinational organizations look for talented people who can handle the job of International Marketing Manage, and people with MIB degrees are preferred. The job needs an in- depth understanding of the overseas markets, because it is the strategic post from the aspect of company's international business growth.
Since business finance and economics are covered at length in the courses of MIB, students have great job offers in the field of finance as well. Typically, organizations offer the position of international finance controllers to those who complete MIB with the specialization of finance. The specialization covers aspects of international taxes, accounts, budgeting and so on. People in this field are well-paid, and growth prospects are unlimited. After completing degree course from a reputed MIB college, there is a good opportunity in the banking and finance field as well.

Anthony Doerr's new bestseller, All the Light We Cannot See, holds special appeal for me. That's how I would describe it. From the poetic language, to the realization of what the tile actually means: that underneath the surface of history, there is light that has not been seen, and stories that have gone untold.
I'm going to be honest-love for this book didn't hit me straight away. In fact, my first attempt to read it last month ended with me putting it aside and going to find something easier, lighter and less descriptive to read. But this book is built on beautiful imagery. Both in the literal sense—the physical world of 1940s Paris and Germany, and the metaphorical(隱喻性的) sense—scientific and philosophical references to light, to seeing and not seeing, and the differences between the two. It's a beautiful work of genius, but it does get a little complicated at times.
However, when we get into the meat of this World War II novel, it's also an upsetting story of a childhood torn apart by war. It's about Parisian Marie Laure who has been blind since she was six, and a German orphan called Werner who finds himself at the center of the Hitler Youth. Both of their stories are told with sensitivity and sympathy, each one forced down a path by their personal circumstances and by that destructive monster-war.
I think this is the kind of book you will never appreciate if you stop too soon-I learned that lesson. From the first to last page, there is a theme of invisible lines running parallel (平行的) to one another and sometimes, just sometimes, crossing in the strangest way. These two lives we are introduced to seem to be worlds apart, and yet they come together and influence one another. It was this, more than the predictably awful tale of war, that made me feel quite emotional.
5.What does the writer think of the book?
A. Light and easy to read. B. Rich in philosophical ideas.
C. Fascinating but too descriptive. D. Too complicated for its theme.
6.What can we learn about Marie Laure and Werner?
A. The war leads to their sensitivity.
B. They know each other at an early age.
C. The Hitler Youth pushes them to grow.
D. They both have a miserable childhood.
7.What particularly stirred the writer's emotions?
A. The book's dramatic ending. B. The book's beautiful imagery.
C. The characters' interconnected destiny. D. The suffering brought by World War II.
8.What is the purpose of this text?

Some events have been added to the 2024 Olympias, with breakdancing, surfing, and sport climbing among the recent additions. A group of terms come with them that are foreign to the French language. Some French-language purists point out it's too much to bear to rely on English to praise surfers on their "nose riding”-standing on the front of the board. They've decided they need a French solution.
The French government has created a team of language experts devoted to promoting the national language. They will meet periodically over the next couple of years to identify and define new sports terms. The French battle against the influence of other languages isn't new. In 1994,the Toubon law was passed, forcing the use of French in all government publications，contracts and advertisements. Yet it contained several loopholes（漏洞），which allow brands and companies to extensively use English. As a result, anglicisms-words from the English language used in another language-are becoming more obvious.
Julie Neveux, linguistics professor at Sorbonne University in Paris, said anglicisms are “sometimes estimated at just under 5% of the present vocabulary, but they are disturbing because they show that we follow an economy and cultural model other than our own.” They are particularly present in sports competitions and events, during which athletes from around the world are used to communicating in English. “Sport was one of the first areas to be globalized, “said sports historian Michael Attali.
Despite their best efforts, no committee has successfully prevented English from influencing everyday language. “Similar committees have been put in place in the past, but nothing has changed so far," said Attali.
"There are far fewer anglicisms in French than there are French words in English." said Neveux, adding these exchanges should not be seen as a threat. “All living languages exist by borrowing from each other. Languages only exist thanks to their impurity.”
9.What goal will the team of language experts try to achieve according to Paragraph 2?
A. To speed up the spread of French in the world.
B. To make French influence other languages.
C. To promote national brands and companies.
D. To decide on some new French sports terms.
10.What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. English words. B. Anglicisms.
C. French expressions. D. Newly created phrases.
11.What's the result of the previous efforts to stop English from influencing other languages?
A. Fruitless. B. Remarkable. C. Important. D. Unmentioned.
12.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. English is the most popular of all.
B. All languages should stay pure.
C. Neveux welcomes the impurity of language.
D. The exchanges between languages should be avoided.

Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal, this year's winners of the most famous award in architecture, are as surprised as anyone else. "Of course, we are very pleased,” Lacaton said. She and her partner smiled broadly.
Putting aside their wearing eyeglasses, Lacaton and Vassal could not be more different from an earlier generation of “architects". Lacaton and Vassal apply a belief—never destroy, never remove or replace, always add, transform, and reuse - to their work on old urban buildings. Designs by Lacaton and Vassal have focused on perfecting low-income housing complexes, beautifully and functionally, while respecting — rather than displacing- the people who live there.
“Buildings are beautiful when people feel well in them," Lacaton explained. “When the light inside is beautiful and the air is pleasant, when the exchange with the outside seems easy and gentle, and when uses and sensations are unexpected." Vassal added, "There's a lot of violence in architecture. We try to be accurate. We try to work with kindness."
perfecting low-income housing complexes, beautifully and functionally, while respecting — rather than displacing- the people who live there.
When Lacaton and Vassal were asked to redesign a particularly large and ugly public housing building in Bordeaux in 2017, the residents told them they did not want to move, even temporarily, but that they wanted bigger units. The solution was to surround the building with large outdoor terraces (露天平臺), adding sliding glass doors to each unit, and remaking the exterior from concrete to something gleaming(閃光的), modern and alive. Suddenly, everyone had roomy outdoor space, some of which was enclosed to be used during the winter as "winter gardens".
“Their approach of cost-effective, creative readaption could be a model for urban planning in the U.S., where destruction's been seen as a method of solving the worsening public housing in such cities as Chicago and St.Louis,” architecture professor Mabel 0. Wilson says. “And granted, there's a host of other issues as to why that happened. It's not the building. It's the absence of social services and lack of repair to buildings that made living in public housing impossible for residents.
13.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about Lacaton and Vassal?
A. Their housing standard. B. Their working principle.
C. Their living conditions. D. Their wearing style.
14.What do Lacaton and Vassal seek to do in their architecture work?
A. Rebuild old houses precisely.
B. Displace the settlers with great kindness.
C. Improve rather than knock down old buildings.
D. Extend space for people as much as possible.
15.Why does the author mention the public housing building in Bordeaux?
A. To stress the importance of winter gardens.t
B. To show the violence in tearing down buildings.
C. To reflect the cost of readapting houses.
D. To prove the possibility of improving old houses.
16.Why do people tend to knock down the worsening public housing, according to Wilson?
A. It saves the cost effectively.
B. It makes room for new creative buildings.
C. They lack awareness of social services.
D. There is no need to repair these buildings.

By drawing patterns on the surface of a cup of tea, chabaixi, an ancient Chinese tea trick displayed in a recent TV drama, has gone viral for its apparent similarity with modern latte art (咖啡拉花藝術). However, ten years ago, this distinctive technique was close to disappearing completely. Zhang Zhifeng, a practitioner of chabaixi, found scenes of chabaixi in the drama aroused great interest among ordinary people.
Chabaixi can create endless patterns such as bamboos and mountains or even calligraphy. There are over a dozen steps, from grinding (碾碎) tea for fine powder to pouring boiled water, stirring the mixture for thick froth, and finally drawing the patterns. It is different from making latte because people use clear water as the object to put into the cup instead of milk. But when the water touches the surface of whipped (攪打起泡沫的) tea, it turns into a white color and disappears in 20 minutes. The process before the drawing is known as the tea-making technique, diancha, the quality of which is crucial to whether patterns can be successfully produced later.
“Chabaixi is one of the countless forms of tea-making techniques in China. The importance of chabaixi is that not only this technique is unique in the world, but also it gives us a window into people’s lifestyle in the Song Dynasty, a period of time when leisure activities in some ways resemble what we have now,” Zhang said.
Before chabaixi was discovered by TV audiences, the technique was listed as part of China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2017, after it was recovered by Zhang Zhifeng, who spent nearly 30 years studying and researching the origins and making of tea, but for him it was all worth-while.
“This technique is key to the tea culture of the Song Dynasty, and it would be a shame to let it fade. This technique must be passed on to the next generations so they can understand its history,” Zhang said.
17.What do the underlined words “gone viral” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Received good protection. B.Become popular quickly.
C.Started declining gradually. D.Maintained highly competitive.
18.What do we know about chabaixi?
A.It is painted with whipped milk.
B.It develops based on latte art.
C.It mainly describes beautiful scenery.
D.It involves complicated tea-making skills.
19.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The origin of chabaixi. B.The uniqueness of chabaixi.
C.The significance of chabaixi. D.The development of chabaixi.
20.What can we infer about Zhang Zhifeng?
A.He teaches people the tea culture of the Song Dynasty.
B.He is leading young generations to innovate chabaixi.
C.He encourages people to pass on the technique of chabaixi.
D.He is committed to developing chabaixi through media.

Pieter Bruegel’s 1565 realistic painting The Harvesters hangs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. “The work describes farmers cutting wheat nearly as tall as they are,” Ghent University biologist Ive De Smet says. “Nowadays, if you walk through a wheat field, you basically see wheat is about knee-high, which is a consequence of selective breeding (培育) from the second half of the 20th century.” De Smet says he’s teaming up with art historian David Vergauwen of Amarant to look at things where they can spot differences in shape, in color, and in size. Wheat is just one example of how historical artwork can help track the transformation of food crops over time.
Friends since childhood, they took interest in plants in artwork and began with a visit to the Hermitage Museum in Russia—where they noticed an odd-looking watermelon in an early-17th-century painting by Flemish artist Frans Snyders.
“So if you think of a watermelon, you cut it through, it should be dark red on the inside. But that one appeared to be pale and white.” De Smet assumed the painter had done a poor job. But Vergauwen said, “This is one of the best painters ever from that era. So if he paints it like that, that’s the way it must have been.” Other paintings showed that both red and white watermelons were raised during the 17th century.
The team hopes to set up an online research database of historical plant artwork. They create a social media hashtag (主題標簽) for it. Anyone could send pictures of relevant artwork and details of plants when they visit a museum or exhibit through the hashtag. But, they add, the sources need to be realistic. “If you’re going to use, for example, Picasso to understand how a pear looked, you might be misled.”
21.What can we learn from De Smet’s words in paragraph 1?
A. Humans have mainly fed on wheat since 1565.
B. Selective breeding affects agricultural structure.
C. Wheat has gone through great changes in height.
D. The scene in The Harvesters may be unbelievable.
22.What is Vergauwen’s attitude to the watermelon painted by Frans Snyders?
A. Curious. B. Disapproving. C. Doubtful. D. Favorable.
23.Why is the social media hashtag created?
A. To collect more paintings for their database.
B. To encourage people to focus on art.
C. To advertise their research database.
D. To share some historical plant artwork.
24.What is the text mainly about?
A. Ancient paintings focused on food crops.
B. Old art reveals agricultural information.
C. Two men create a database of plant artwork.
D. Plants today are different from their ancestors.

In the 17th century, the Netherlands experienced a period of artistic prosperity known as the Dutch Golden Age. During this period, artists found inspiration in Northern Renaissance painting techniques, contributing to masterpieces like Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer. Known as the “Mona Lisa of the North”, this painting represents the best of Dutch art and it has become one of art history’s most beloved paintings.
Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer is famous for his paintings of contemporary Delft, a city in Holland where the artist was born, lived and died. Girl with a Pearl Earring is Vermeer’s most well-known work of art. However, it did not attain international fame at its time of completion. That came about at the end of the 20th century, when it was featured in a special exhibition in Washington, D. C.
Girl with a Pearl Earring does not show a specific person. Instead, it shows an unknown girl dressed in grand clothing who, “l(fā)ike a vision coming from the darkness,” art historian Arthur K. Wheelock explained in the Johannes Vermeer catalogue, “belongs to no specific time or place.”
Vermeer is known for his ability to create shapes and forms using light rather than line. This characteristic approach to modeling is particularly evident in Girl with a Pearl Earring. First, he would “invent”, or create an initial drawing on the canvas. Then, he made a single colored underpainting. Next, he added color. And, finally, in order to make the piece extraordinarily bright, he would apply a thin layer of glaze to certain parts of the painting.
In addition to its fascinating context and appealing beauty, the piece is celebrated for the mystery that surrounds it. “When you think about the Mona Lisa, she is also looking at us, but she isn’t engaging—she’s sitting back in the painting, self-contained,” Tracy Chevalier, the author of the New York Times bestselling historical novel, Girl with a Pearl Earring, points out. “While Girl with a Pearl Earring is right there—there is nothing between her and us. She has this magical quality of being incredibly open and yet mysterious at the same time—and that is what makes her so appealing.”
25.What inspired the creation of Girl with a Pearl Earring?
A. Previous artists’ skills. B. The appearance of the girl.
C. Vermeer’s international fame. D. Encouragement from other artists.
26.What do we know about Girl with a Pearl Earring?
A. It is set in the artist’s birthplace.
B. It makes the artist famous overnight.
C. It describes a particular and exact girl.
D. It is regarded as a match for Mona Lisa.
27.What is the purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To introduce the subject of the painting.
B. To show techniques used in the painting.
C. To explain the artistic value of the painting.
D. To uncover the mystery behind the painting.
28.How does Tracy comment on Girl with a Pearl Earring?
A. By citing a theory. B. By giving a definition.
C. By offering an example. D. By making a comparison.

To complete the great map of the world was a strong passion for the people of early civilizations. Marco Polo’s tales inspired European explorers to search for sea routes from west to east. However, merchants search for sea routes from west to east. However, merchants and explorers from the East set sail from east to west many years before Columbus first did.
In ancient times, silk from China found its way overland to India, the Middle East, and Rome, along what became known as the Silk Road. A trading route across the sea was also extended along the coasts of the Indian Ocean, centred around Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). Here, merchants from China and many other places met to negotiate trade deals, which also led to more awareness of each other’s cultures. Over the centuries, further trading allowed more exploration of the regions to the west China.
Later, the Ming Dynasty further developed relations with these regions. Between 1405 and 1433, seven large fleets sailed west on voyages of trade and exploration. These fleets were a sight to behold and were in a league of their own at that time. Under the command of Zheng He, they set sail from the South China Sea across the Indian Ocean to the mouth of the Red Sea, and then to the east coast of Africa. African royal families sent gifts such as giraffes as gestures of friendship in return for gold, silk, and spices. Although China withdrew from further expeditions after 1433, these land and sea routes remained active channels between other cultures for centuries.
To reach out across the sea remains a strong desire today. The ancient sea routes travelled by Zheng He are being revisited with the 2lst Century Maritime Silk Road, which is part of the Belt and Road Initiative. The aim of this initiative is to encourage cooperation and trade across the historic Silk Road areas, and strengthen the bonds between China and the rest of the world. Trading has grown greatly in recent years, and will continue to do so in years to come.
29.How is the passage developed?
A. Cause and effect. B. Time sequence.
C. Problem and solution. D. Compare and contrast.
30.Which word can be used to describe Zheng He’s fleets?
A. Impressive. B. Worrisome. C. Aggressive. D. Fearful.
31.Which is Not the purpose of the Belt and Road Initiative?
A. To expand China’s territorial area on the ocean.
B. To promote communication with other countries.
C. To strengthen further cooperation with other countries
D. To encourage trade across the historic Silk Road areas.
32.Which is the best title of the text?
A. The Maritime Silk Road B. The great map of the world
C. Reaching out across the sea D. The Belt and Road Initiative

22.答案：D
解析：觀點態(tài)度題。根據第三段But Vergauwen said, "This is one of the best painters ever from that era. So if he paints it like that, that's the way it must have been."(但Vergauwen說："這是那個時代最好的畫家之一。所以如果他把它畫成那樣,那就一定是那樣的。")可知,Vergauwen認為Frans Snyders畫的西瓜是真實的,表示支持。故選D。
23.答案：A

24.答案：B
解析：主旨大意題。根據第一段Wheat is just one example of how historical artwork can help track the transformation of food crops over time.(小麥只是歷史藝術作品如何幫助追蹤糧食作物隨時間而變化的一個例子。)并結合全文內容可知,通過以在大都會藝術博物館展出的一幅1565年的繪畫作品"The Harvesters"為例,結合其它藝術作品,說明了可以通過過去的藝術作品了解當時的農業(yè)情況。故選B。
七、
25.答案：A
解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據 In the 17th century, the Netherlands experienced a period of artistic prosperity known as the Dutch Golden Age. During this period, artists found inspiration in Northern Renaissance painting techniques, contributing to masterpieces like Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.可知,Girl with a Pearl Earring的創(chuàng)作是受到了文藝復興時期藝術家繪畫技巧的啟發(fā)。故正確答案為A。
26.答案：D
解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據Known as the "Mona Lisa of the North", this painting represents the best of Dutch art and it has become one of art history's most beloved paintings.可知,Girl with a Pearl Earring被認為能和《蒙娜麗莎》媲美。故正確答案為D。
27.答案：B
解析：推理判斷題。根據Vermeer is known for his ability to create shapes and forms using light rather than line. This characteristic approach to modeling is particularly evident in Girl with a Pearl Earring. First, he would "invent", or create an initial drawing on the canvas. Then, he made a single colored underpainting. Next, he added color. And, finally, in order to make the piece extraordinarily bright, he would apply a thin layer of glaze to certain parts of the painting.可知,本段的主要目的是介紹《戴珍珠耳環(huán)的女孩》這幅畫使用到的技巧。故正確答案為B。
28.答案：D
解析：推理判斷題。根據最后一段Tracy所說的話"When you think about the Mona Lisa, she is also looking at us, but she isn't engaging—she's sitting back in the painting, self-contained," Tracy Chevalier, the author of the New York Times bestselling historical novel, Girl with a Pearl Earring, points out, "While Girl with a Pearl Earring is right there—there is nothing between her and us. She has this magical quality of being incredibly open and yet mysterious at the same time—and that is what makes her so appealing."可知,Tracy是使用對比的方式對《戴珍珠耳環(huán)的女孩》進行評論的。故正確答案為D。
八、
29.答案：B
解析：推理判斷題。根據第二段中"In ancient times(在古代)",第三段中的"Later, the Ming Dynasty further developed relations with these regions.(后來,明朝進一步發(fā)展了與這些地區(qū)的關系)"以及最后一段中"To reach out across the sea remains a strong desire today.(今天，我們仍然有跨越大洋的強烈愿望)"可知，文章是按照時間順序行文的。故選B。
30.答案：A
解析：推理判斷題。根據第三段中"These fleets were a sight to behold and were in a league of their own at that time(這些艦隊是一個壯觀的景象，當時獨領風騷)"可知，鄭和的艦隊令人印象深刻。故選A。
31.答案：A
解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據最后一段中"The aim of this initiative is to encourage cooperation and trade across the historic Silk Road areas, and strengthen the bonds between China and the rest of the world.(這一倡議的目的是鼓勵歷史悠久的絲綢之路地區(qū)的合作和貿易，加強中國與世界其他地區(qū)之間的聯(lián)系)"可知，"一帶一路"倡議的目的是鼓勵歷史悠久的絲綢之路地區(qū)的合作和貿易，加強中國與世界其他地區(qū)之間的聯(lián)系，A項"擴大中國在海洋上的領土"不是其目的。故選A。
32.答案：C
