ABeijing Daxing Airport Is Finally OpenBeijing Daxing International Airport (PKX), also known as Beijing New Airport, is the biggest airport in the world. It is also the second international airport of Beijing along with Beijing Capital International Airport. The airport's design is a pioneering one while its location in Daxing District (the southern suburb of Beijing) is perfect for serving the Chinese capital and the neighboring areas of Hebei and Tianjin. The new mega hub airport (大型枢纽机场) is expected to handle up to 45 million passengers per year by 2021 and 100 million in the future.How big is Daxing Airport?The gigantic Daxing Airport, with the impressive shape which has given it the nickname “Starfish”, has enormous dimensions. There are 4 runways at present (with the hope of becoming 7 in the future) and a vast terminal building(航站楼) covering a 700,000m2area while the groundtransportation centre extends to 80,000m2.How many runways does Daxing Airport have?For the time being, Daxing Airport has four runways and 79 airport stands. The 4 runways' size is impressive while the airport stands are suitable for both one twin-aisle(双通道) and two single-aisle planes. Eventually, the airport will have 7 runways in total and will be able to serve about 620,000 flights every year.Who designed Daxing Airport?Daxing Airport's terminal building is the impressive outcome of the cooperation between ADP Ingénierie (ADPI) and the architecture team of Zaha Hadid who tragically passed away in 2016. As a result, in August 2018, Hong Kong design studio Lead 8 undertook the design of the new commercial terminal which is expected to meet every passenger's needs.How much did Daxing Airport cost?The construction of the mega airport, which is expected to eventually become the busiest airport in the world, cost an unsurprisingly large amount of money. The Chinese government is estimated to have paid about $17.47 billion for this great project.1.Daxing Airport is built .A.to serve Beijing, Hebei and TianjinB.only for the Chinese capital, BeijingC.as the second biggest airport in the worldD.to handle up to 45 million passengers per year2.What did Hong Kong design studio Lead 8 under-take?A.The runways.B.The airport stands.C.The terminal building.D.The commercial terminal.3.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To introduce Daxing Airport.B.To describe how Daxing Airport was built.C.To attract people to visit Daxing Airport.D.To discuss the importance of Daxing Airport.BBorn in London in 1825, Thomas Henry Huxley was one of the greatest men of the nineteenth century. In 1846 Thomas Henry Huxley was appointed assistant doctor aboard HMS Rattlesnake. The ship had been asked to survey areas of the Great Barrier Reef and the neighboring seas. This gave Thomas Henry Huxley an opportunity to study animal life and was the start of his biological career. The voyage lasted four years, during which he gathered much information on plankton (浮游生物).On his return from the voyage, Thomas Henry Huxley was made a member of The Royal Society in recognition of his scientific work. Although he continued to publish papers about plankton, his interest wasturning towards vertebrates (脊椎动物). For some time Thomas Henry Huxley and his workmates had been discussing the possibility that animal species had evolved (进化), from one to another. No satisfactory theories had been put forward, but in 1859 Darwin's The Origin of Species appeared. Thomas Henry Huxley at once realized its importance and how the theory of natural selection provided “the working hypothesis (假说) we sought”.For the rest of his life, Thomas Henry Huxley struggled to ensure the full recognition of Darwin's work. In 1863 Thomas Henry Huxley published Man's Place in Nature in which he compared man and great apes. He clearly showed similarities.Despite his many achievements, he was given no award by the British state until late in his life. From about 1870, Thomas Henry Huxley was too involved in other things to continue actual research. He had always been interested in education. He pioneered the teaching of biology and his method of selecting “type animals” is still followed today. He spent the last ten years of his life writing essays mainly on biology.4.Why did Huxley go on the voyage?A.To explore the deep sea.B.To do research on sea animals.C.To work as a doctor on the ship.D.To gather information for his paper.5.How did Huxley react to the theory of natural selection?A.He had doubt about it.B.He thought highly of it.C.He couldn't understand it.D.He thought he developed it first.6.What do we know about Huxley's book Man's Place in Nature?A.It discusses the importance of human beings.B.It focuses on Darwin's theory of natural selection.C.It talks about the differences between man and apes.D.It provides evidence about the evolution of man from great apes.7.What can we learn about Huxley from the last paragraph?A.He contributed a lot to biological teaching.B.He continued his research till his death.C.He became a good novelist late in his life.D.He never got awards for his achievements.CIt seems we can't get off the planet fast enough. Two thirds of NASA's money is spent on manned space exploration, and that number will grow with the USA's decision to send a man to Mars in 2037. We've seen all that is to see on Earth, right? Wrong. The final place is here, under the surface of the sea.Heading down into the ocean, human limits are quickly reached. At200 metres, the water is as black as a moonless night. Most nuclear submarines would implode (内爆) before they reach 1 km down. At 3 km—still less than the average depth of the ocean—there's a good chance that you'll discover a new species. The deepest-diving whales go no further. At the very bottom, about 11 km down, lies the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. Eighteen humans have walked on the Moon, but only three have seen the deep with their own eyes.Yet things live down there. Big things. A very loud sound was once heard and scientists suggested that it was produced by an animal bigger than a blue whale, the largest creature known on the planet.In the late 1990s, a deep-water submarine was dropped in the Southern Ocean, and passing 4,000 metres, it discovered something huge passing under it. Surprised? Don't be. The ocean covers 70% of the planet's surface and we've studied less than 5% of it. We know more about the dark side of the Moon than about the bottom of the sea.One reason why we explore space is to find evidence of other life forms. The search for life outside of Earth is important, but robots can look under the dry rocks of Mars better than humans. They're absolutely important for doing ocean research too, but they can't look under the sea. The cost of exploration is rising, but the results would benefit all our lives. Understanding the oceans will help us find new sources of food, drugsand energy.Perhaps now it's time to begin a new period of sea exploration. Manned space exploration is science fiction. The adventure of the deep sea is science fact.8.What do the examples in Paragraph 2 suggest?A.Sea exploration is no easy task.B.Nuclear submarines need to be improved.C.The ocean is far deeper than people expected.D.The condition under the sea is similar to that on the Moon.9.What do we know about the Challenger Deep?A.Blue whales live there.B.No one has ever been there.C.People are terrified by the sight of it.D.It is the deepest known location of the Mariana Trench.10.What does the author think of the discovery in the Southern Ocean?A.It's surprising.B.It's no wonder.C.It's worrying.D.It's no success.11.What does the author want to tell us?A.Space exploration is of little value.B.We spend too much money on space travel.C.Humans' success lies in how much they explore the sea.D.The ocean is the place where we should make our efforts.DFor Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.“It's no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill.“Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, MarcJacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion.“The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”12.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A.It promoted the sales of artworks.B.It attracted a large number of visitors.C.It showed ancient Chinese clothes.D.It aimed to introduce Chinese models.13.What does Hill say about Chinese women?A.They are setting the fashion.B.They start many fashion campaigns.C.They admire super models.D.They do business all over the world.14.What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?A.learning fromB.looking down onC.working withpeting against15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB.A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC.Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD.Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

have a very good sense of humour.Could you suggest how to build on this?－Radha KarnikThis is a great question that is unfortunately difficult to answer.I can only give you my views on this topic,which may or may not be correct.I know that my sense of humour developed over time.When I was younger I was not funny at all；now I can easily make people laugh.At the same time,sometimes I say things that I think are very funny but others do not.Improving wit and humour,I believe,is an ongoing process.Now,there are various forms of humour and everyone has their individual style.Overall I believe being fluent in a language is very important for being witty or funny.The way we play around with words adds the“funny”tag to an otherwise normal sentence.Also,seeing irony is very important.I think humour is often the linkbetween two unrelated things.In my experience, laughing frequently and appreciating other people's jokes and wit are very important.Within these,finding humour in everyday normal situations is the key.I often notice what is going on around me and say funny things in my head and laugh to myself.That serves almost as practice for when I am in a group.I watch comedy shows and movies and I am sure that has some effects on helping me improve my sense of humour.And last,having confidence that you are witty is important.There will always be someone wittier or funnier than you,which is fine.Just work on building your own style.Remember,if you are trying to be funny and witty in order to break the ice at a business function,be careful.In those situations,humour has to be mild and politically correct.Yours,Brad 【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文.文章由咨询者的问题引出作者对幽默的看法.作者给咨询者提供了很多好的建议,看看哪一条对你有帮助.1．Radha Karnik's problem is that he doesn't ________.A．have friendsB．know the functions of

to do is to follow his advice.Speaking about the doctor's advice,I can't help telling you a funny story.An old gentleman came to see the doctor.The man was very ill.He told the doctor about his weakness,memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs.The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and

office.He looked cheerful and happy.He thanked the doctor and said that he_had_never_felt_a_healthier_man.“But you know,doctor,” he said,“it's not easy to begin smoking at my

Human beings love to laugh，and the average adult laughs 17 times a day.Humans love to laugh so much that there are actually industries built around laughter.Jokes，sitcoms and comedians are all designed to get us laughing，because laughing feels good.For us it seems so natural，but the funny thing is that humans are one of the only species that laughs. Laughter is actually a complex response that involves many of the same skills used in solving problems.Laughter is a great thing—that's why we've all heard the saying，“Laughter is the best medicine.”There is strong evidence that laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease.In this article，we'll look at laughter—what it is，what happens in our brains when we laugh，what makes us laugh and how it can make us healthier and happier.You'll also learn that there's a tremendous amount that no one understands yet.【语篇解读】本文是一篇文章的引言。

Unit 3 A taste of English humour第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AI learnt to fly in a balloon in a race across the Atlantic Ocean in 1992 and became extremely interested in the sport. In the same way that a mountain climber dreams of climbing the world's highest mountain, I dreamed about flying non-stop around the world.I spent six years planning the flight and failed twice before I and my team managed to succeed. For some reason, we had to go first to North Africa to catch the right winds. That added 10,000 kilometres, and another week, to our journey. But because of this, our flight broke all the records for distance and time spent in the air.The most memorable part of the trip for me is that we lived in the air for 20 days and that the rising sun was the most amazing thing we saw. We had to go out of the balloon's capsule (舱), in which we were transported, three times while in the air to repair the fuel (燃料) system. We didn't have any safety equipment but when you are in a situation like that, you just do what you have to do without thinking about feeling afraid.Landing was a fantastic moment. I remember that when I got out of the capsule, I looked at my footprint in the sand. I remembered the astronaut Neil Armstrong, who was so happy to put his footprint on the moon, so far away from Earth. At that moment, I was so happy to have my foot back on Earth!21. The author became interested in ballooning because of _____.A. a cross-ocean raceB. a mountain climbC. a childhood dreamD. a long sea journey22. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the author and his team's flight?A. They set a new record.B. They shortened their flight.C. Their flight went very smoothly.D. Their flight covered 10,000 kilometres.23. Why did the balloonists get out of the capsule during the flight?A. To fight their fear.B. To do some repair work.C. To admire the rising sun.D. To check safety equipment.24. The author mentioned Neil Armstrong to show his _____.A. regretB. surpriseC. respectD. pleasureBYou probably laugh at something you find funny, but how much do you really know about jokes and humour? Reader's Digest (RD) questioned several experts to give us some facts about them.RD:What’s the oldest joke in the world?“We can't know the oldest joke in the world because it would have existed earlier than writing,” says Christie Davies, professor of sociology at the University of Reading in the UK. The oldest joke book that's been found so far is the Greek Philogelos. It dates from the 4th century AD, although the jokes date from an earlier time. According to psychologist Steve Wilson, director of National Humor Month (April in the US), it contains 265 jokes.RD: Do some people fail to develop a sense of humour?Rod Martin, professor of psychology at the Western University in Canada, believes that while everyone is born without a sense of humour, as we develop, humour and laughter begin to appear. “Of course, some children are more serious, quiet, and less likely to laugh frequently, but this doesn't mean they don't have a sense of humour.” And according to Steve Wilson, there are no adults who don't have asense of humour. “Almost everyone is able to develop a sense of humour, and I teach people how,” he says.RD: Do people share a sense of humour unique to their own nation?Sense of humour does differ a lot by country, according to an author named Scott Weems. British humour is thought to be absurd (荒谬的) in nature, while American humour has an aggressive quality. According to a study, Germans are found to find everything funny.25. What do we know about the oldest joke book?A. It remains unknown.B. It was written in Greek.C. It was found in the UK.D. It contains the oldest joke.26. What does Rod Martin agree with about people's sense of humour?A. Nobody is born with a sense of humour.B. Some adults lose it when they grow up.C. Childhood is the best time to develop such ability.D. Children have a poorer sense of humour than adults.27. What kind of humour has an aggressive feature?A. British humour.B. German humour.C. Canadian humour.D. American humour.28. Where can you probably find the text?A. In a popular magazine.B. In a research paper.C. In a personal diary.D. In a textbook.CWhen people communicate, they use more than words. People's body language shows important information just like speech does. When someone lies with theirwords, their body language often tells the truth. The next time you wonder if someone is telling you the truth, try watching their hands.A person who is being honest will usually turn one or both of their palms (手掌) towards the other person. If a person is beginning to “open up” or share important information, you may notice them turn their palms towards you. Like most body language, this unconscious (无意识的) gesture usually gives the other person the feeling that the speaker is speaking honestly.When people lie, they tend to hide their palms by putting their hands behind their back or holding them. Others will keep their hands in their pockets if they are lying or trying to hide information. Salespeople are sometimes trained to watch out for this specific example of body language when a person is saying that they can't afford a product or service. Sometimes professional liars try to use open-palm gestures to fool others. But a careful listener may tell it is a lie through their body language such as lack of eye contact and touching the nose.Research has also suggested that if people normally turn their palms to face their listeners, they tend to be more honest themselves. If you want people's honesty, talk to them and ask them questions while keeping your palms turned out. This will put pressure on the people you are talking to.Human body language, emotion, and communication are directly connected. By showing that you are honest, with your palms towards people, your body language pushes others to tell you the truth.29. Turning one's palms towards others is a symbol of _____.A. confidenceB. politenessC. patienceD. honesty30. How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?A. By telling stories.B. By giving examples.C. By making comparisons.D. By providing explanations.31. Talking with your palms open will encourage others to _____.A. behave activelyB. gesture carefullyC. be honest with youD. forget their pressureDThe famous website known as Facebook began as a Harvard University dropout's hobby. It was once limited to university students, but it has now become the largest social networking website in the world. It is a good way for old friends to find each other and for new friends to meet.Facebook was started in 2019 and was then a site that only students with an email address endi ng in “edu” could join. It was like being part of a huge but exclusive club. College students throughout the USA joined the website to create large networks. As Facebook's popularity grew, its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, realized even more people would love to sign up for the service. In 2019, Facebook opened its membership to anyone with an email address. Facebook experienced another increase in its popularity.In just minutes, anyone can sign up for the service and start enjoying photos or videos. Most new members also enjoy searching for friends they lost touch with years ago. Whether they knew each other from elementary, middle, high school or college, people around the world reconnect using Facebook's simple tools.Facebook also includes many specialized features. Members write on a friend's “wall”, a special part of each person's page. Friends post short public messages on each other's “walls”, or they can send private (私密的) “messages”. Facebook members also “poke (戳)” each other. Sending a “poke” to a friend is like saying “I'm thinking of you”. Like a real-life poke, a “poke” on Facebook shows you want someone's attention. Members also send “gifts”. “Gifts” are little icons (图标) of things you might really give. Members can buy these icons at a low price and send them, showing their appreciation.32. What does the underlined word “exclusive” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Available only to some people.B. Teaching you something modern.C. Strange and difficult to understand.D. Supporting new ideas and methods.33. How did Mark Zuckerberg increase Facebook's popularity?A. By advertising it online.B. By working with schools.C. By making it open to any email user.D. By sharing students' photos and videos.34. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about _____.A. some ways of using Facebook's toolsB. what people can learn from FacebookC. how people make friends on FacebookD. some features that make Facebook popular35. If a Facebook member wants to get noticed by a friend, he can _____.A. send a “gift”B. send a “poke”C. write on the “wall”D. send long “messages”第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。

课时分层作业(七)Section Ⅰ[高考题型练习提能力]Ⅰ.阅读理解AA nation's humour is linked to the historical development of the country.How funny somebody finds a certain thing depends on many things including ages，personal experiences，levels of education and locations.Therefore，humour is something that is not always transferable (可转移的) in another country.What about when both countries speak the same mother tongue？Does that mean they will then share the same sense of humour，or can differences still take place？Let's take the example of Britain and America.Time and time again，people say that Brits and Americans don't “get” each other's sense of humour.It is often argued that one of the most common differences between the British and American sense of humour is that Americans don't understand irony (反话)．Simon Pegg explores this topic in depth in his article “What Are You Laughing At？”He concludes that this statement isn't true and I agree with him.In fact，Brits use irony on a daily basis while Americans don't.I think Americans understand British irony (most of the time anyway)；what they don't understand is the need to use it so frequently.When Americans use irony，they tend to say that they are “only kidding”．They feel the need to make a joke more obvious than Brits do.Maybe this comes from a fear of offending (冒犯) people.The American sense of humour is generally more slapstick (闹剧的) than that in Britain.I think this arises from a cultural difference between the two.Their jokes are more obvious and forward，a bit like Americans themselves.British jokes，on the other hand，tend to be more subtle.This may stem from the fact that British culture is more reserved (矜持的) than American culture.【语篇解读】本文为说明文。

months after the government stopped issuing（发放）or renewing permits for Internet cafes because of security（安全）concerns,some cafe owners are having financial（经济的）concerns of their own.The permits were stopped suddenly three months ago by the government until new safeguards could be put in place to prevent misuse of the information superhighway,but for cafe owners it’s a business breakdown with no fix in sight.“I handed in a request to open up an Internet cafe and received the conditions,”said the businessman Obeidallah.“I rented a place in the Sharafiah district at SR 45 000 and prepared the place with equipment that cost me more than SR 100 000.When I went to the local government after finishing everything,I was surprised to find that they’d stopped issuing permits for Internet cafes.”Having an Internet cafe without Internet is much like having a coffee shop without coffee.“I’m avoiding closing the place,but it’s been more than three months with the situation ongoing as it is,”Obeidallah said.“Who will bear the losses caused by the permit issue?”The decision took many cafe owners by surprise.“I asked to open an Internet cafe,and I was handed a list of all the things that were needed to follow through,such as a sign for the place,filling out forms,”said Hassan Al-Harbi.“I did all that was asked and rented a place.And after the Haj vacation I wen t to the local government and they surprised me,saying that there are new rules that forbid the issuing of any more Internet cafe permits and that one can’t even renew his permit.I’ve lost more than SR 80 000,”Al-Harbi added.As for the government,officials say a method to deal with it is on the way,but securityconcerns come before profit（赢利）.56.The government stopped issuing or renewing permits for Internet cafes__________.A.to prevent misuse of new safeguards in Internet cafesB.tomake cafe owners earn less profit from their businessC.to stop the use of the information superhighway on InternetD.to make sure of the proper use of the information superhighway57.The government’s decision led to the fact that many cafe owners__________.A.suffered heavy financial lossesB.asked to open up Internet cafesC.continued to operate Internet cafesD.asked the government for payment58.The underlined phrase in the last paragraph “on the way” means__________.A.to be studiedB.to be put into practiceC.to be changedD.to be improved59.The cafe owners found the government’s decision__________.A.surprising and unacceptableB.understanding and acceptableC.reasonable but surprisingD.surprising but acceptable56.提示：从文中第二段中的“...to prevent misuse of t he information superhighway,...”可知,政府停发或拒绝更新营业执照的目的是确保信息高速公路的正确使用.答案：D57.提示：从文中所举的两个例子中可知,网吧的经营者们都在赔钱,但他们只是抱怨,并没有采取进一步的行动.答案：A58.提示：从固定短语on the way(to)“在(去)……的路上”及文章的内容,可确定答案.答案：B59.提示：从文中第四段的“Who will bear the losses caused by the permit issue?”及文中倒数第二段中的“...an d they surprise d me...”,可知网吧业主们对政府的做法既感到吃惊又感到无法接受.答案：ABIn 1837,the historian Carlyle made the first recorded use of the word “queue”（排队）.He spoke of the French and their “habit of standing in a queue”.Forty years later Paris was the best place to wait in line.However,queuing became popular in Britain too.The Second World War was the golden age of queuing,and people joined any line in the hope that it was a queue for something to buy.This was the source of many Second World War jokes:Shopkeeper to customer:Excuse me,Miss,are you pregnant（怀孕）？Customer:Well,I wasn’t when I joined the queue.Today,according to research in America,we（in Britain）can spend up to 5 years of our lives queuing as compared to twelve months looking for things we have lost.But things may bechanging.Many people no longer have the patience to stand in a queue.The law of the jungle（丛林）has begun to operate at bus stops,with people using their arms to push others out of the way.One way to make life easier is to intro duce “queue management”.Customers at supermarket cheese counters can now take a ticket with a number which appears on a screen when it is their turn.And while they wait for their number,they can do a bit of shopping.In some booking offices there is also a system telling customers how long they may have to wait before they are served.One of the latest technical progress is the use of an electronic scanner（电子识别器）which can read all the contents of your shopping basket or trolley in just a few seconds.If these become popular,queuing in supermarkets may become a thing of the past.But some people just like queuing.One man queued all night for Harrods famous January sale,and then returned home for breakfast at nine o’clock the next morning without going into the shop.60.The joke in Paragraph 2 implies that the young woman__________.A.has been waiting in the queue for a longtimeB.doesn’t need to stand in the queueC.enjoys standing in the queueD.has stood in the wrong line61.According to the passage,which of the following is true?A.The British spend more time queuing than looking for lost things.B.The Americans criticized the British for their way of queuing.C.The British are always patient when they wait in line.D.People queue only when they want to buy something.62.The British try to solve the problem of queuing by all the following EXCEPT__________.A.making a law to prevent queuingB.telling thecustomers the waiting timeing numbered tickets to put the customers in orderD.checking the price of the goods customers buy with a scanner63.We can infer from the passage that__________.A.queue management doesn’t work wellB.there is still queuing in EnglandC.we don’t see much queuing in ParisD.the French like queuing more than the British60.提示：由对话中的“Well,I wasn’t when I joined the queue.”可知A项符合句意.答案：A61.提示：由文章的“Today,according to...we have lost.”可知A项为正确答案.答案：A62.提示：倒数第二段对应D项,倒数第三段对应B项,倒数第三段对应C项.答案：A63.提示：本题设问为由文章内容可以得出什么推论,根据对文章的叙述,我们可以知道,B项符合题意,C项与事实不符,D项文章中没有提到.答案：BCHandshaking,though a European practice is often seen in big cities of China.Nobody knowsexactly when the practice started in Europe.It is said that long long ago in Europe when people met,they showed their unarmed（无武器的）hands to each other as a sign of good will.As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly,people in cities began to clap each other’s hands to make a deal or to reach an agreement.This practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other.“Let’s shake（hands）on it” s ometimes means agreement reached.Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet?No. Sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite.It is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party,especially when it is a woman,shows little interest in shaking hands with you and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or her.Even if,for politeness,he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand,just touch it slightly. There is generally a misunderstanding（误解）among the Chinese that westerners are usually open and straightforward,while the Chinese are rather reserved（保守的）in manner.But in fact some people in western countries more reserved than some Chinese today.So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only when he shows interest in further relations with you.64.In the old days in Europe,people put out their unarmed hands to each other__________.A.to make a dealB.to greet each otherC.to show friendlinessD.to reach an agreement65.The first paragraph mainly tells us__________.A.where handshaking was first practisedB.how handshaking came aboutC.about the relationship between handshaking and tradeD.about the practice of handshaking both in Europe and in China66.According to the text,which of the following statements is true?A.Westerners are more reserved than the Chinese.B.Westerners are unwilling to shake hands.C.We should make a judgement before shaking hands.D.We shouldn’t shake han ds with European women.67.The main purpose of the text is__________.A.to tell us some differences between the East and the WestB.to offer us some important facts about handshakingC.to introduce us to some different customs in the WestD.to give us some advice before we travel abroad64.提示：由“...,they showed their unarmed hands to each other as a sign of good will.”可知答案为C.答案：C65.提示：第一段主要讲述了握手的产生过程,故选B.答案：B66.提示：由文章最后一句话可知C项是正确的.答案：C67.提示：文章介绍了握手的由来以及握手的正确时机,故选B.答案：BDLack of parent willpower may contribute more to juvenile obesity than under-exercising or overeating.Research suggests that having overweight parents is a big influence（影响）upon a child’s weight,with one study finding that children with overweight parents were four times more likely to be overweight themselves.The findings add heat to an already fierce political debate（争论）over childhood obesity.The Prime Minister,John Howard,last week decided that $116 million be used for programs to deal with obesity,while the Opposition Leader,Mark Latham,recently announced that his party would move to protect children from unhealthy food advertisements.Clare Collins,a senior lecturer at the University of Newcastle,believes such programs will definitely fail unless they influence the way of life of whole families.“If we can’t get parents to take action against their own weight problems,then we can’t expect to influence their kids,”she said.However,Professor Louise Baur from the Children’s Hospital at Westmead,doubts whether adult education programs offer any solution to weight problems.“Many parents know they need to lose weight and they know it influences their kids,but they lack the willpower to do anything about it.”The 10-year study of 150 American children found two-thirds of children with overweight parents became overweight.Only one in six children whose parents were of average weight became overweight.The president of the Australasian Society for the Study of Obesity,Associate Professor Gary Wittert,said parents needed help in doing their job and the Opposition Party’s policy（政策）might be on the right track.“We know that driving without a seat belt is unsafe,so we make law against it,”he said. “Obesity is a major public health concern,so why shouldn’t we change the law regarding unhealthy food ads？”68.What does the underlined phrase “juvenile obesity” mean?A.Adult education.B.Childhood overweight.C.Parents’ influence.D.Growing pains.69.What is TRUE about the programs supported by the Prime Minister?A.Debates on them will become less fierce.B.They will be effective in dealing with obesity.C.A large sum of money will be spent on them.D.They will influence people’s way of life.70.Both Collins and Baur believe that overweight parents__________.A.will come up with better solutionsB.will help with their children’s educationC.should be more active in reducing weightD.should carry out at least 10 years study71.According to some experts,the Opposition Party’s policy__________.A.can help fight against unemploymentB.may protect kids from unhealthy food adsC.should be brought back to the right trackD.will work well to prevent traffic accidents68.提示：词义猜测题.第二段中有一句话说“研究表明拥有超常体重的父母对孩子体重影响很大”.所以有画线单词的这一句意思应是“缺乏父母的意志力可能比缺乏锻炼和过量饮食更容易导致儿童时期的超重”.答案：B69.提示：推理判断题.内阁总理上星期决定将11.6亿美元用于这项解决肥胖问题的计划.所以可知一大笔钱将会花在这项计划上.答案：C70.提示：归纳理解题.Clare Collins认为如果超重的父母不能解决自己的体重问题的话,这项计划对孩子的影响将会很小.这说明他认为父母对孩子的影响很大.Baur认为许多父母知道他们需要减肥,父母切实要有行动.答案：C71.提示：细节理解题.从文章倒数一、二段可知.答案：BEThe scene in the Hollywood movie The Day After Tomorrow,where global warming could soon turn the global climate（气候）into a new ice age may never occur,according to new research.The next ice age could be 15 000 years away,say European scientists who last month announced a continuous record of 740 000 years of climate data（数据）obtained from the Antarctic ice.Scientists from 10 nations have now almost completely drilled through a 3000-meter depth of ice high in the Antarctic mainland.They figure out that the area where summer temperatures can fall to -40 ℃,has at least 900 000 years of snowfalls,kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree.And the ice and air caught in each layer（层）have begun to answer questions about the climates in the past.The results show that there have been eight ice ages in the past 740 000 years and eight warmer periods.And by comparing the pattern of global condition today with those of the past,the researchers reported in Nature that the present warm period could last another 15 000 years.Research suggests that there is a very close connection between greenhouse gas levels and global average temperatures.It also shows that carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）levels are the highest for at least 440 000 years.“If people say to you:the greenhouse effect is a good thing because we would go into ice age otherwise,our da ta say no,a new ice age is not hanging over our heads,”said Eric Wolff from the British Antarctic Survey.“Now we have eight examples of how the climate goes in and out of ice ages... and you can learn what the rules are that go into the climate models that tell us about the future.”Scientists found that whenever temperatures rose in the frozen record,so did carbon dioxide level.“In 440 000 years we have never seen greenhouse gas get as thick as it is today,”said Dr Wolff.72.In drilling through the ice in Antarctica,scientists have found that__________.A.the lowest temperature there is -40℃B.the depth of ice is 3000 meters。
