AInformal conversation is an important part of any business relationship.Before you start a discussion，however，make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos(禁忌)in a particular tin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history，art，and customs.They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children.Yon may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends.The French think of conversation as an art form，and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements.For them，arguments can be interesting—and they can cover pretty much or any topic—as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent(智慧的)manner.In the United States，business people like to discuss a wide range of topics，including opinions about work，family，hobbies，and politics.In Japan，China，and Korea，however，people are much more private.They do not share much about their thoughts，feelings，or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious(和谐的)business relationship they're trying to build.Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters.It is considered rude，for example，to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.As general rule，it's best not to talk about politics or religion(宗教)with your business friends.This can get you into trouble，even in the United States ，where people hold different views.In addition，discussing one's salary is usually considered unsuitable.Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world，although be careful not to criticize a national sport.Instead，be friendly and praise your host's team.1．The author considers politics and religion________.A．cheerful topics B．taboosC．rude topics D．topics that can never be talked about答案：B语义理解题。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.__1__ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. __2__Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.__3__ They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “__4__ Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. __5__A．In general the person feels excited and ready to act.B．They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.C．Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.D．Anger may cause you a cancer.E．Do not express your anger while angry.F．Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.G．Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.答案：1－5FAGEB短文填空(二)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But they do not really know what they are talking about because they rarely get a chance to eat it. Most of the restaurants in large towns have foreign owners and serve foreign food. When visitors are invited to eat in an English home, their hosts often feel they must offer them something foreign. Those of us who do know English food are aware that at its best it can be really very good. On the other hand it is true to say that it is sometimes terrible. Part of the problem is that we are not really interested in food—we eat to live, we do not live to eat. So we don’t generally spend the necessary time and effort needed to cook really good meals. We prefer food that is simple and easy to cook, or ready prepared food which only needs heating up before eating.You can find that best English food is in the country, where life is slower and people are not in such a hurry. But, of course, most visitors come to London. They come because they are interested in shopping and sightseeing. They do not come because of the food, so why should they complain about it?36. When English people have guests they ______.A. think it is better to cook some unusual foodB. prefer to take their guests to restaurantsC. have to serve the food their guests are used to havingD. prefer to serve them English food37. The writer thinks that ______.A. we live to eat, but not eat to liveB. we do not eat to live, we live to eatC. we eat to live, but not live to eatD. we eat to live, we live to eat38. People like to cook ______.A. in a complicated wayB. with only fresh vegetablesC. some typical English foodD. in a quick and easy way39. The last paragraph suggests ______.A. the criticism of English food by visitors is unfairB. it is possible to find good English food in towns but it takes time to findC. apart from food, people also come to go shop－ping and sightseeingD. if people complain about English food, they will get better foodBWithin a few short years, girls in Europe have be－come heavier smokers than boys according to a British study presented (递交) last week to an international conference on smoking.Antismoking activists (积极分子) at the second Tobacco or Health conference in the Canary Islands pointed out that while adults were giving up smoking in ever growing numbers, more and more young people were taking up the habit, particularly girls.One in four 15-year-olds is a regular smoker, ac－cording to a study made in 27 countries in Europe and the United States, Canada and Israel—by Edinburgh University together with the World Health Organization.In Western Europe, girls were more likely than boys to smoke. In Germany or in England, one third of the girls were smokers compared to one in four boys. In Eastern Europe, the girls “still fall behind” those in the Western Europe, but were “catching up” quickly, said the study.The study dealt with the behavior of 15-year-olds in seven European countries over four-year period be－tween 1986 and 1998.The percentage of young women smoking went from 17 percent to 36 percent in Austria, from 17 per－cent to 28 percent in Norway, from 21 percent to 28 percent in Hungary.In the seven countries and regions—Austria, Fin－land, Hungary, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Wales—more girls smoked than boys in 1998, with the exception of Hungary.40. The study was made by ______.A. Edinburgh UniversityB. the World Health OrganizationC. Oxford UniversityD. Edinburgh University and the World Health Or－ganization41. The country where the number of young women smokers increases fastest is ______.A. NorwayB. AustriaC. HungaryD. Sweden42. The main idea of the passage is to ______.A. introduce something about girl smokers in EuropeB. report something interesting happened in EnglandC. describe the present condition of Europe smokersD. warn young people around the world against smokingCMartha’s Vineyard (葡萄园) got its name from its discoverer, Artholomew Gasbnold, who named it after his wife Martha, and it was also in memory of the thick growth of wild vines (葡萄) on the land.The island of Martha’s Vineyard lies south of Cape Cod off the Southern eastern coast of Mas－sachusetts, United States. It is nearly 20 miles long and runs from 2 to 10 miles in width. There are wide, hard beaches on the southern side. The north is hilly, but in the south and eastern parts there are wide areas of open land covered with wild flowers.The island was discovered early in the 17th cen－tury. The Indians were quiet and friendly, and the new－comers fished for a living, making a lot of money from whaling (捕鲸). With the decline (衰落) of whaling and sailing ships, Martha’s Vineyard was almost for－gotten until about 60 years ago when people began to buy the old houses of the whaling captains and the sheds of the fishermen near the beaches. Now people go there year after year for their summer holidays.43. In this passage the writer doesn’t tell us ______.A. how the island got its nameB. the population of the islandC. the scenery of the islandD. the value of the island44. One of the reasons why Martha’s Vineyard was al－most forgotten is that ______.A. the hunting of whales became less productiveB. ship building industry developed rapidlyC. most of the Vineyard lay wasteD. a lot of fishermen left the island45. Wh ich of the following maps tells rightly where Martha’s Vineyard lies?(Mas=Massachusetts; C=Cape Cod; M=Martha’s Vineyard)DO. Henry was a pen name used by an American writer of short stories. His real name was William Sydney Porter. He was born in North Carolina in 1862. As a young boy he lived an exciting life. He did not go to school for very long, but he managed to teach himself everything he needed to know. When he was about 20 years old, O. Henry went to Texas, where he tried different jobs. He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank. When some money went missing from the bank, O. Henry was believed to have stolen it. Because of that, he was sent to prison.

It contains a number of scientific instruments, including a television camera. Any picture that is taken will have to travel for three minutes before they reach the earth. If the pictures are successful, they may solve a number of problems about Mars and provide information about the markings on its surface which, nearly 100 years ago, the astronomer (天文学家), Schiaparelli, thought to be canals.It will be a long time before any landing on Mars can be tried. This will only be possible when scientists have learned a lot more about the atmosphere that surrounds the planet. If a satellite can one day be put into orbit round Mars, scientists will be able to find out a great deal. An interesting suggestion for measuring the atmosphere around Mars has been made. A rubber ball having a radio transmitter(无线电发报机) could be dropped from a satellite so that it would fall towards the surface of the planet. The radio would tell the rate(速度) at which the ball was slowed down and scientists would be able to calculate how dense the atmosphere is. It may even be possible to drop scientific instruments on to the planet's surface. Only when a great deal more information has been got, will it be possible to plan a manned (载人的) trip to Mars.51. The first paragraph tells us _______ .A. Mars is too far away for people to land onB. it will take the rocket half a year to reach MarsC.

It seems that _______ might prevent scientists from landing on Mars.A. the atmosphere round the planetB. the orbit round the planetC. having little informationD. the markings on the planet's surface54. Having successfully dropped the rubber ball, scientists would be able to calculate how dense the atmosphere is by _______.A. slowing the ball down at a speed which could be measuredB. dropping another ball with scientific instruments on to the surfaceC. putting down the ball towards the planet's surfaceD. measuring the speed at which the ball was falling55. It is not until _______ that people can think of a plan to make a trip to Mars.A. they have got enough scientific instrumentsB. they have a lot more informationC. dense enough atmosphere is found around the planetD. a reasonable suggestion has been made第四节书面表达（满分15分）根据要点，谈谈你对2008年在北京举办奥运会的想法，写一篇120词左右的短文。
