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。

I think it's best to teach in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with.Rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl.Many people choose to live in Tokyo，of course，which is good for the nightlife factor.But I'd say that for general quality of living，cities of neither too large nor too small，like Sapporo where I live，are better choices.I teach English privately，which means I'm my own boss.If you want to devote yourself to private teaching，it's well worth doing a TEFL course first，because your lessons will be much better for it.The problem with private teaching is finding students；it took me a year to build up a full schedule(日程表)of private lessons，so I started out teaching in schools part time.Most of my foreign friends here work fulltime for big English conversation schools.The salary is fine to live on.But whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.The schools are reluctant to take time off—even teachers with tickets for the EnglandArgentina game had trouble getting the day off.56．From the passage we know in Japan the write likes to live in______.A．Tokyo B．a small town C．a city of middle site D．a big city 57．According to the writer，one had better ______first to do private teaching better.A．take a TEFL courseB．decide his or her own lessonsC．find studentsD．build up a full schedule58．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that______.A．there are many foreigners in JapanB．Japan is good for nightlifeC．they can teach English privately in JapanD．Japan has something more attractive than expected59．The underlined word “reluctant” in the passage may probably mean______.A．kind B．unwilling C．free D．carelessBUnlike modern animal scientists，dinosaur scientists cannot sit on a hillside and use telescopes to watch dinosaurs in order to know how they lived and whether they were good parents.Instead，they have to search hard for information from dinosaurs' fossils(恐龙化石)because dinosaurs died out millions of years ago.It's very difficult for the scientists to reach an agreement because different results can be got from the same fossils.Many fossils of the same kind of dinosaurs have been dug out from one place.They might have formed when an entire group of dinosaurs got stuck(陷入)all at once，or they might have been the result of dinosaurs getting stuck one after another over a course of a few centuries.Thus we can say that dinosaurs might have in the first case lived in big groups and in the second lived alone.Though there are two different results，dinosaur scientists now generally agree that at least some kinds of dinosaurs lived in big groups.“That's pretty much settled at this point，”says Paul Sereno.A kind of dinosaurs called Sauropods left behind tracks in the western United States that appear to run north and south，suggesting that they even moved long distances together.As to whether dinosaurs cared for their young，dinosaur scientists have turned to the closest living relatives of dinosaurs—birds and crocodiles—for possible models.Birds give a lot of care to their young，while crocodiles just help their young to the water，The discovered fossils of dinosaurs sitting on their eggs and staying with their young suggest the parents were taking care of their babies，but we still cannot say that all dinosaurs did the same.There is still a long way to go before the above questions could be answered.Dinosaur scientists will have to find more proof to reach an agreement.60．Dinosaur scientists can get information directly by ______.A．studying dinosaur fossilsB．examining modern animalsC．watching dinosaursD．using telescopes61．What is pretty much settled according to Paul Sereno?A．Half of the dinosaurs lived alone.B．Most dinosaurs moved long distances.C．Many dinosaurs settled in the north.D．Some dinosaurs lived in big groups.62．Dinosaur scientists can probably know whether dinosaurs were good parents by ______.A．watching many kinds of animalsB．studying dinosaurs' living relativesC．following the tracks left behindD．working on dugout dinosaur eggs63．Which of the following is right according to the 4th paragraph?A．Birds hardly pay attention to their young.B．Baby crocodiles can look after themselves well.C．Some dinosaurs took care of their young.D．Birds and crocodiles take good care of their young.CBoth warmblooded and coldblooded desert animals have ways to escape the desert heat.Warmblooded desert animals，such as rats and mice，rest during the day，often staying in cool underground burrows.At night they search for food.Animals that are out during the day，such as coldblooded lizards and snakes，are active only for short periods.As their body temperature rises，these reptiles(爬行动物) move into the shade in order to cool down.In the early evening，when the sun grows weaker，the reptiles become more active and begin their search for food again.Getting enough water to survive is a major problem for all desert animals.Some desert animals，like desert birds，manage to find water holes.Other desert animals，such as the kangaroo rat and the related jerboa，get water only from the food that they eat.Because these animals eat mainly dry seeds，they must survive on a tiny amount of water.Most deserts have only a small number of frogs and toads because these animals must be near water to survive.Yet even these creatures have adapted(适应)to desert conditions.When small amounts of water collect in temporary streams，thedesertliving frogs and toads become active.After a rainfall，they lay their eggs.The eggs grow into tadpoles in a few days and into adults in just four weeks.When the puddles(水坑)dry up，the adult frogs or toads dig into the ground.Their metabolism(新陈代谢)slows，and they stay beneath the ground until the next rain，which may be as good as a year away.Until then，their bodily activities continue at a reduced rate.The camel—often called the ship of the desert—is one of the most successful desert animals.Camels can go for long periods without water，but eventually they must drink.When water becomes available to them after a long drought，they may drink 95 liters of water or more.When water is not available，what helps camels survive the desert heat is the fat stored in their humps(驼峰)．A camel's hump contains about 12 kilograms of fat.Fat is rich in hydrogen.As the fat is digested，hydrogen from the fat combines with oxygen in the air that the camel breathes.The result is H2O，or water.Each kilogram of fat that a camel digests produces about a liter of water.64．Desert animals are usually more active at night because ______.A．it is cooler at nightB．it is easier to find waterC．they like the darkD．they are less likely to be attacked at night65．Which of the following desert animals can get water only from the food?A．The camel.

D．The rat.66．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．All the desert animals rest during the day.B．All the desert animals don't rest during the day.C．Coldblooded desert animals are out most of the day.D．None of the coldblooded desert animals go out during the day.67．The underlined word “burrows” in the first paragraph can be replaced by ______.A．holes B．caves C．rooms D．openingsDMargaret，married with two small children，has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner，cleaning offices in a big building.She trained as a nurse，but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill.“I would have liked to go back to it，but the shifts(工作班次) are all wrong for me，as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.”So she works as a cleaner instead，from 9 a．m.till 6 a．m.five nights a week for just ￡90，before tax and insurance.“It's better than it was last year，but I still think that people who work ‘unsocial hours’ should get a bit extra.”The hours she's chosen to work meant that she sees plenty of the children，but very little of her husband.However，she doesn't think that puts any pressure on their relationship.Her work isn't physically very hard，but it's not exactly pleasant，either.“I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs.If they realized people like me have to do it，perhaps they'd be a bit more careful.”The fact that she's working all night doesn't worry Margaret at all.Unlike some dark buildings at night，the building where she works is fully lit，and the women work in groups of three.“Since I've got to be here，I try to enjoy myself—and I usually do，because of the other girls.We all have a good laugh，so the time never drags.”Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living.“They think you're a cleaner because you don't know how to read and write，”said Margaret.“I used to think what_my_parents_would_say_if_they_knew_what_I'd_been_doing，but I don't think that way any more.I don't dislike the work though I can't say I'm mad about it.”68．Margaret quit her job as a nurse because ______.A．she wanted to earn more money to support her familyB．she had suffered a lot of mental pressureC．she needed the right time to look after her childrenD．she felt tired of taking care of patients69．Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because ______.A．they never clean their officesB．they look down upon cleanersC．they never do their work carefullyD．they always make a mess in their offices70．When at work，Margaret feels ______.A．lighthearted because of her fellow workersB．happy because the building is fully litC．tired because of the heavy workloadD．bored because time passed slowly71．The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margaret's parents would ______.A．help care for her childrenB．regret what they had saidC．show sympathy for herD．feel disappointed in herEI was one of the taller members of my class，standing a head above the other girls and stooping (弯腰站立) at the back of the line to avoid sticking out.I especially hated being around large groups of people，like during the social hour after the church services.My grandfather would watch me grow increasingly uncomfortable，but he didn't laugh at me，instead，he would warn me.“Stand straight and tall，” he'd say，as I tried to shrink_myself.And each time，I would obey him.Even at age 15，I understood that his_advice_was_about_more_than_just_feet_and_inches.My grandfather grew up in wartime Europe.When German soldiers occupied (占领) his hometown，the beautiful city of Tarnow，Poland，he left and joined the Soviet army to fight for his country's freedom.“Stand straight，stand tall” meant something else then. I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood.And whenever I was afraid of something，he would tell me stories of his life.After the war，he took a ship for America.All alone in a new country，he was frightened about his future.Still，he marched head on in the streets of New York.Soon he met other European immigrants(移民)，each of them trying to find his or her own way.“If they could do it，why couldn't I？Stand straight，stand tall，” he would remind himself.At first my grandfather refused to take part in an American church service.He was angry with God for the loss of his entire family back in Europe.But soon he beganto long again for the Jewish community.He felt his faith returning.When he walked into the church that first time，he walked in proudly.72．The author disliked being around large groups of people，because______.A．she was too young to be with themB．she was taller than othersC．other people hated herD．her grandfather didn't allow her to be with them73．The underlined words “shrink myself” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “______”．A．make myself heardB．make myself become wiserC．make myself become smallerD．make myself understood74.The underlined part “ his advice was about more than just feet and inches”in Paragraph 4 means the author's grandfather advised her______.A．to grow more inchesB．not to be afraid of growing tallC．to be brave and proudD．not to think about feet and inches75．Which of the following is NOT the author's grandfather's character?A．Warmhearted.B．Selfconfident.C．Love of his country.D．Brave.Ⅴ.短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)Dear Ralph，I'm a new comer of a small town.I would76.______describe myself as shy and quietly.Before my classmates，77.______it seems always difficult for me to do things well as78.______them.I'm sure they will laugh to me and see me as79.______a fool.So I feel unhappy every day.80.______Besides，I have few friends，I don't know that they81.______don't like to talk with me.Sometimes，we talked to each other82.______very well in class，but after class we become stranger at83.______once.I'm trying to improve the situation since it doesn't84.______seem to work.Can you tell me about what I should do？85.______Yours，Xiao WeiⅥ.书面表达(满分25分)假设你叫王平，李华是你的同窗好友，请根据下列要点，用英文给李华写一篇毕业留言。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

“Cutting the cheese.”“Breaking wind.”Whatever the expression, people have long been taught that passing wind (放屁) in groups is rude. __1__A research team, led by marine biologist Ben Wilson of the Bamfield Marine Science Centre in Canada, recently did the first ever study that says these fish talk to each other by breaking wind.Wilson and his team studied herring from the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.__2__“It turns out that herring make unusual farting (放屁) sounds at night，” explained Wilson. __3__Herring use FRT to communicate with each other in the dark. The noise seems to allow the fish to find each other without alerting predators (捕猎者). Traveling together can help fish stay safe from their enemies.__4__ Instead of having gas, scientists say that herring gulp (吞咽) air at the surface. They store the air and release it through a hole in their rear ends.The scientists say that FRT sounds could help fisherman find herring. But the scientists worry that noise from boat engines could hurt the ability of herring to communicate with each other by passing wind. __5__ But for herring, the ability to hear each other pass wind could be the difference between life and death.A．Wilson and his team named the noise Fast Repetitive Tick (FRT)．B．Tooting fish? The idea may sound funny.C．The team caught fish and put them in large tanks to watch their behavior.D．The fish were found to produce high－frequency sound bursts up to 22 kilohertz.E．Fish pass wind differently from humans.F．However, for herring, a type of fish, group “tooting” (发出嘟嘟声) meetings may be an important way of communicating.答案：1－5FCAEBⅡ.新短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country．B. Health is more important than money．C. The harmony between man and nature is important．D. Good old day will never be forgotten．With the start of a new term, the students around the country change their funny and fashionable clothes for boring school uniforms． But not all schools are fashion deserts． Colorful sports shoes, school bags, Tshirts and even drink containers are breathing life into campuses．"The uniform makes us look like a bunch of clones, especially when we are doing morning exercises on the play ground, " said Qing Pei, a Senior 2 from Shanghai Qihao High School． "But the boys wear different sports shoes and girls have different decorations in their hair． These are the areas where you can express yourself, "said Qing．Although it might be strange for boys to talk about fashion, they do care about what they wear in school, especially shoes, according to Qing．"Nike and Addidas basketball shoes, although they are still the musthave items for many of my friends, are becoming outofdate, " Qing added． He explained that "Since Liu Xiang ran so fast in Athens, running shoes are becoming popular in this autumn．""Still in fashion are the various baseball caps and Americanstyle Tshirts with random （随意的）English words printed on them, " said Qing． "The accuracy of the written message is not important． Often, the words are misspelt． Sometimes they do not even make sense, " Qing said with a smile．In spite of sports shoes and Tshirts, styles and colors of school bags are another opportunity for students to show their tastes in fashion． Some bags are made quite eyecatching by decorating （装饰） them with small hanging dolls．Another fashionable item is the colorful drink container, which is now popular among girls this term．"Some teachers are surprised to see a teenager sucking a bottle like this at school and criticized it as a childish regression （退化）． But some girls just love it, " said Yang Rui, a Senior 3 from High School attached to Xi' an Jiaotong Univeristy．Not only in China, the new term in the US also brings new fashion trends: shirts

trend．C.Students nowedays like to be more individual．D.Students don't care much whether the words printed on baseball caps or Tshirts make sense or not．．Time wasand not so many years ago, eitherwhen the average citizens took a pretty dim （模糊的） view of banks and banking． That was so, it should be said, was manily the fault of banks and bankers themselves． Banks used to be﹣and a few still are﹣forbidding structures． Behind the little windows were, more often than not, elderly gentlemen whose expression of friendliness showed the size of the customer's account （账户）, and nothing less than a few hundred thousand in the bank could have got the suggestion of a smile．And yet the average bank for many years was, to the average citizens, a feartury, if necessary, instrument for dealing businessusually big business． But some where in the early years of last century, banks began to grow human, even pleasant, and started to attract the ordinary man． It is possible that this movement began in mediumsized towns, or in small towns where people know each other by their first names, and spreaded to big towns． Anyway, the results have been remarkable．The movement to "humanize" banks, of course, received a big push during thewar, when more and more women were employed to do work performed by men before． Also more and more "ordinary" people found themselves in need of personal loans （贷款）, as taxes became heavier and as the practice of installment （分期付款） buying broke down the longheld belief that there was something almost morally （道德上） wrong about being in debt． All sorts of people began to discover that the use of credit （信贷）could be extremely helpful．（1）According to the author the unfriendly atmosphere （气氛） in banks many years ago was chiefly due to________．A.the outer appearance of bank buildingsB.unfriendliness of customers toward banksC.economic （经济） pressure of the timeD.the attitude of bankers．（2）The banks of many years ago showed interest only in________．A.regular visitorsB.rich customersC.friendly businessmenD.elderly gentlemen．（3）When did banks begin to grow human？________A.Sometime before the war．B.A few years ago．C.During the war．D.In the last century．．（4）What helped to push the "humanization" of banks？________A.More and more "little" people became customers of banks．B.The elderly gentlemen in banks were replaced by women．C.More banks were set up in small and middlesized towns．D.The size of the customer's account was greatly increased．The other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party． The time printed on the invitation was 7: 30 pm． Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song．By 9: 45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared． Jane and David were restless． Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving． But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear． By 11: 00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely ________． Jane and David left hungry and angry．Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer． Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently． Most of us would agree that 6: 30﹣8: 30 pm． means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8: 00 pm． or 8: 30 pm． means possible dinner, but 9: 30 pm． and any time there after means no food, eat before hand（提前）, roll up（到场，出现） late．But this is not always the case． If asked to a students' party at 6: 30 pm． it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all（如果真是这样）, and no one cares． Being the first to arrive﹣looking eager﹣is social death． When my mother is asked to a party for 6: 30, she likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven． My age group （late thirties） falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think we're young, we're probably closer to student﹣time than grown﹣up time．The accepted custom at present is confusing（令人费解）, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element （成分） of surprise．（1）The underlined words "off their heads" probably mean________．A. tiredB. crazyC. curiousD. hopeless．（2）Jane and David's story is used to show that________．A.party﹣goers usually get hungry at partiesB.party invitations can be confusingC.people should ask for food at partiesD.birthday parties for middle﹣aged people are dull（乏味）．（3）For some young people， arriving on time for a students' party will probably be considered________．A. very difficultB. particularly thoughtfulC. friendly and politeD. socially unacceptable．（4）According to the writer， people in their late thirties________．A. are likely to arrive late for a partyB. care little about the party timeC. haven't really grown up yetD. like surprises at parties．（5）What is the general idea of the text？________A.It's safe to arrive late just when food is served．B.It's wise to eat something before going to a party．C.It's important to follow social rules of party﹣going．D.It's necessary to read invitations carefully．Square dance is an American pastime． It started in America, during the California Gold Rush． Having been a popular folk tradition since 1651, it grew out of different kinds of traditional dances from around the world． In those days, men and women worked in groups to build a house or harvest crops． When the work was done, they usually danced merrily and happily in a store or in a farm kitchen．In this dance eight people work as a team, called a square, to successfully complete a set of complex （复杂的） dance figures that are delivered by a caller, who calls out the movements． Four couples stand facing the center of the square, each couple standing on one side of the square, the man on the left and the woman on the right．Large or small numbers of people can dance at one time． Sometimes 800 or 1, 000 people may dance at the same time． Or there may be only one square of eight people．________ are worn by those people when they're dancing． This makes the dance more colorful to watch． Women often wear full skirts of different colors with a pretty blouse． Men may have colored shirts and western trousers, which they wear only when squaredancing． In some country areas, everyone wears his best clothes．Square dance still exists today, ever since President Ronald Reagan signed an Act of congress in 1982 making square dancing the National Folk Dance of America． Many schools teach square dance in Physical Education, and there are square dance in Physical Education, and there are square dance competitions． In all parts of the United States you will find some schools, clubs, or other groups that are dancing the square dance for fun．（1）In the early times poeple danced________．A.after they did something specialB.when they were harvesting the cropsC.after they finished their workD.when they were playing games．（2）What's the exact meaning of the underlined word "costumes" in Paragraph 4？________A.Special clothes people wear on some occasion．B.Clothes people wear when working．C.Something worn on the finger．D.Something valuable like jewels．．（3）What's the best title of the passage？________A.Square Dancing in Ancient America．B.Square Dancing in America．C.A Special Party﹣Square Dancing．D.Square Dancing Is Popular．Ⅳ.书面表达（满分25分）假设你正在参加全省中学生英语演讲比赛，请你针对有些父母经常翻看孩子日记或书包这一现象，写一篇演讲稿，陈述你的观点。
