Gift-giving is an important part of all human societies. Gift can express how we feel, but they can also pass on messages that we don’t plan to give, so gift-giving etiquette（礼节）in my culture should be dealt with 16 .
In some cultures that think highly of gift-giving, there is a ritual（仪式）in the giving and receiving of gifts. In Japan, for example, gift are both presented and received using both hands. The giver says something like “It isn’t much, 17 I wanted to show my appreciation.”The receiver of the gift will 18 once or twice, but the giver will insist. Then the receiver will 19 the gift and put it away to be opened later.
The 20 of gifts is important, naturally, and in some cultures it is easy to offend（冒犯）a person by giving the 21 gift. The givers of gift must consider the symbols of them, for example, a gift of a knife or letter opener in Brazil might be seen as symbolizing the ending of a relationship.
The relationship between the giver and the receiver of a gift also can tell us what kind of gift is 22 . For example, in the United States, gifts such as perfume are only given to women by boyfriends or husbands. If a friend were to give such a gift, it might be considered 23 .
The culture of gift-giving differs from one society to another, but they all have a(n) 24 in common: in any country, when choosing gifts we must always 25 the message we wish to show with the gift and think about whether or not it is suitable for the receiver. Your gift will be appreciated if it shows consideration and respect for the receiver’s culture.
16.A. carefully B. patiently C. quickly D. gladly
17.A. but B. so C. because D. if
18.A. check B. refuse C. ignore D. leave
19.A. accept B. offer C. hide D. exchange
20.A. price B. choice C. history D. use
21.A. free B. valuable C. small D. wrong
22.A. serious B. special C. important D. suitable
23.A. humorous B. strange C. dishonest D. unnecessary
24. A. name B. need C. idea D. character

World Environment Day
June is here and summer is upon us! Summer means sunny skies and warm weather. There are plenty of reasons to go outside and appreciate our natural environment.

Now Pittsburgh has cleaned its rivers and protected its wildlife. It wants a “green economy（经济）”. That will help create ways to make cleaner energy!

Imagine a school with more than 1,800 classes in maths, science, and history. What’s more, this school is open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The best part is that it’s free! Welcome to the Khan Academy.
The Khan Academy is a collection of short education videos. Each one teaches a different lesson in easy-to-understand English, and most are about ten minutes long. The school now has its own website, and about 200,000 students a month are using this online school. Bill Gates has watched its educational videos with his son, and he has praised（赞扬）the school in public.
The man responsible for the Khan Academy is Salman Khan. It all started when Khan agreed to teach his young cousin maths. He began by using a computer and a phone. Later, he made videos and
uploaded them online. Soon after, people around the world started watching these educational videos.
The secret of the school’s success is videos. They are made with simple tools, and they don’t show the teachers. Instead, drawings, diagrams, and explanations are used to get to their heart of a subject very quickly.
Not everyone likes the Khan Academy. Some people blamed that there was a lack of teacher-student interaction（互动）that was found in traditional schools. However, many praise the Khan Academy for its straight approach, saying that it helps them understand ideas more quickly.
As for Khan, his dream continues to be built “the world’s first free, world-class online school”. To help Khan achieve that dream, Google has given him US $2 million. This money will be mainly used to get his lessons translate into different languages. Thanks to Salman Khan, the dream of education for everyone is becoming a reality.
31.The writer thinks the best part of the Khan Academy is that ______.
A.it is convenient
B.it has lots of classes
C.it is always open
D.it costs nothing from learners

33.The underlined word “uploaded”(paragraph 3) most probably means ______.
A.销售
B. 购买
C. 上传
D. 下载
34.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Khan and his cousin made videos to teach maths.
B.Students of the Khan Academy prefer traditional schools.
C.The Khan Academy won’t be free in the future.
D.The videos help many students learn more quickly.
35.What is the passage mainly about?
A.An interesting website.
B.An Internet school.
C.Some educational videos.
D.A helpful teacher.
(C)
Many people have special pets. One of them is the fiddler crab（招潮蟹）. It is just like a living clock. It shows the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and nearly white by night. The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty-four hour schedule（时间表）that exactly matches the daily rhythm of the sun.
People who raise fiddler crabs usually like a pair of them, that is, a male and a female. The size of the claws makes it very easy to tell the difference between male and female fiddler crabs. A male fiddler crab has one claw that is larger than both its other claws and the claws of the females. The females have two small claws.
Even without daylight, the crab’s skin colour continues to change exactly on time. This probably developed slowly in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protest the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regular inside the living body of the crab.
The scientist notice that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tide（潮水）. The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was caught!
36. How does a fiddler crab change its colour?
A. It changes colour according to the time.
B. It changes colour according to the weather.
C. It changes colour when it sees its enemies.
D. It changes colour when it is looking for food.
37. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Male fiddler crabs have more claws than female ones.
B. Female fiddler crabs have one bigger claw.
C. A female fiddler crab’s claw is bigger than those of a male one.
D. A male fiddler crab has one claw that is bigger than those of a female one.
38. Which of the following is TRUE of the crab’s changing colour?
A. It keeps the crab warm.
B. It can happen without daylight.
C. It tells the crab the time to find food.
D. It is of no real use.
39. What does the underlined word “this”(paragraph 3) refer to?
A. The 24-hour rhythm of the sun.
B. The regular change of sea weather.
C. The change of the crab’s colour.
D. The study done by the scientist.
40. The best title for the passage would be ______.
A. A Living Clock
B. Raise a Fiddler Crab
C. How Animals Change Colour
D. Find A Special Pet for You
