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。

选做题Ⅰ.短文填空根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

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。

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 printed with Chinese words, necklaces with Hebrew or Hindi characters, and Brazilian jewelry, are all common in schools in Florida, according to Carmen Doningues, a high school student．（1）Which of the

shoes．B.Baseball caps and Americanstyle Tshirts．C.Colorful drink containers．D.Running shoes．．（3）The underlined word "they" in paragraph 5 refers to________．A.Americanstyle Tshirts．B.The English words on the Tshirts．C.Baseball caps．D.The students around the country．．（4）Which conclusion of the following is WRONG？________A.Students go to extremes in dressing．B.Students also like to follow fashion 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。

These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections（注射）so that they won’t carry diseases. There are many special animal food stores, though people can get animal food in almost every kind of store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. Wh en you visit people’s houses, they will be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcome to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to be hurt by a car, people would be very sad about it.People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own lives. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.36.

It is famous for its steep hills, its earthquakes and the prison island of Alcatraz, but its most famous landmark is the Golden Gate Bridge. This is one of the most beautiful bridges in the world. It has a simple, graceful shape, and is painted in an attractive orange.Work on the Golden Gate Bridge started in 1933 and continued for thenext four years. The total cost of the bridge was US$35 million. At that time, its span of 1,200 meters made the Golden Gate Bridge the longest suspension(悬浮) bridge in the world. The bridge is 2.7 kilometers long and, at the middle point, 70 meters above the water of San Francisco Bay. The main cables that hold the bridge are one meter in diameter. The bridge can safely withstand(抵挡) winds of up to 160 kilometers an hour, and it can sway(摇摆) as much as 8 meters in strong winds.On Thursday, May 27, 1937, 200,000 people walked across the bridge to mark its opening. People are still allowed to walk across: it takes about half an hour each way. It is worth the effort. As you cross, you understand the engineering skill that went into the construction of the bridge. You also get wonderful views of San Francisco and the Bay Area.The Golden Gate Bridge has been the scene of many events since it was completed. It was shaken by the earthquake of 1989. Daredevil（喜欢冒险的） pilots have flown their planes under it. Sadly, too, some people have taken their own lives by jumping from the bridge.

Four (Golden Gate Bridge, steep hills, earthquakes, the prison island of Alcatraz).D.

But reports say that more than a hundred people have died.Towns less than one hundred miles from Melbourne will be in danger unless the wind changes. The edge of the smoke cloud has already reached Melbourne. People are rushing into the streets. The police have warned them not to drive out of the city to see the fire, but many people are doing so.The cause of the fire is unknown. But nobody is surprised. No rain hasfallen in this part for three months. It is 38℃ at noon, and the hot northwest wind from the great central desert is blowing at more than thirty miles an hour.46. The big fire happened in ______.A. New YorkB. a place near MelbourneC. towns in MelbourneD. town in America47. We can see from the news that ______.A. people there haven’t seen such a big fire for nearly 100 yearsB. no one knows whether some people have died in the fire or notC. everyone knows the cause of the fireD. most of the towns in the country are in danger48. Which of the following is the right picture?W=Wind T=Towns M=MelbournEA lot of people are their own enemies. They regard themselves as unlikely to succeed in college and often feel that there have been no accomplishments （成就） in their lives. In my first year of college especially, I saw people get themselves down too quickly. There were two students in my class who failed the first test and seemed to give up immediately. From that day on, they walked into the classroom carrying defeat on their shoulders the way other students carried textbooks under their arms. When they disappeared for good(长久地), no one took much notice, for they had already disappeared in spirit after that first test.I have really wanted to shake them by the shoulders and say: “You are not dead. Be proud and pleased that you have brought yourself here to college. Breathe. Hope. Act.” Such people should not use self-doubts as an excuse for not trying. They should pull themselves together and get to work. They should start taking notes in class and trying to learn. Above all, they should not give up without even trying.49. The phrase “get themselves down” (Para. 1) probablymeans ______.A. tell liesB. lose confidenceC. avoid dangersD. waste time50. When the two students dropped out （退学）, no one took much notice because ______.A. they had long lost heart in class performanceB. they were absent from class too oftenC. they didn’t get on well with other studentsD. they were so much cut off from the rest of the class51. According to the passage, the two students failed in their study because of their ______.A. shynessB. proudnessC. self-doubtD. laziness52. The author thinks that the two students should ______. A. give up their college educationB. learn from other studentsC. feel happy because they are in collegeD. try hard before giving upFNormally a student must attend a number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a grade which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree is made up of thirty-six courses each lasting for one term. Generally, a course is made up of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each term. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two terms each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not done as a regular practice.For every course that follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the student can get it to show his future employers. All this sets a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activities in student affairs. They show much interest in elections to positions in student organizations performed by students who advise the academic authorities (权威人士). Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating is to appear before a student court. With the large numbers of students, the operation of the system has something to do with a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career (生涯).53. Normally a student would at least attend ______ classes each week.A. 36.B. 12C. 20D. 1554. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed ______.A. to live in a different universityB. to take a particular course in a different universityC. to live at home and drive to classesD. to get degrees from two different universities55. Some students are interested in positions in student organizations probably because ______.A. they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB. they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC. such positions help them get better jobsD. such positions are usually well paid第四节短文改错（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）Helen is one of my best friend.

高二下学期期末测试题-阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

■Have you ever thought about starting a community service project for your town, or volunteering at a shelter (避难所)? Thousands of children each year do just that, and make a huge impact (影响) on our society.To honour kids’ volunteer work, Prudential Financial created a programme called the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. This month, the programme’s top 10 National Honorees attended a special ceremony in Washington, D.C. Kelydra Welcker, a National Honoree from Parkersburg, West Virginia, invented a way to purify drinking water in her town. The young scientist took action because she wanted to help her community. “It wasn’t originally for the honours. I saw problems and I wanted it done,”she said. “I always thought knowing what’s in your drinking water should be a right, not a privilege (优待). Everyone in my community should have clean, safe drinking water.”Kelydra’s town is near a DuPont chemical plant (工厂) that makes Teflon. Teflon is used for things like space shuttles and heat-resistant clothing. Unfortunately, tiny amounts of a chemical used to make Teflon ended up in the town’s water supply. This chemical is poisonous and may cause health problems in humans and animals.Kelydra created a test to find the chemical in the water supply. Then she figured out a way of removing the chemical from the water. Now Kelydra has a patent (专利)—a legal document that gives an inventor of something the sole right to sell it or make it—waiting for her test.“I hope when I go to college, I can make my technique more efficient,”she said. “I want to make sure it’s the best it can be before I can give it to my community.”Kelydra plans over the next couple of years to develop a prototype (模范)—the first version of an invention—that not only works well in the home, but can also be used in the chemical industry.56. Why do you think it’s important for children to volunteer?A. They can make a trip to Washington, D.C.B. They can get the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards.C. They can make a difference to the society.D. They can be admitted to the college.57. Kelydra Welcker was chosen as one of the 10 National Honorees this year for ______.A. knowing what’s in the drinking water in her townB. taking an active part in volunteering at a shelterC. creating a programme called the Prudential Spirit of Community AwardsD. finding a way to purify drinking water58. What’s the problem for the drinking water in Kelydra Welcker’s town?A. A poisonous chemical from a plant was in the water supply.B. A chemical plant stopped supplying water to the town.C. The water was rich in chemical elements.D. The water was never tested before drinking.59. Kelydra Welcker’s invention will ______.A. make the chemical in the water supply known to everyoneB. make her community a good place to live inC. prevent humans and animals from health problemsD. get the chemical plant removed from his town60. What Kelydra Welcker plans to do next is mostprobably to ______.A. improve her inventionB. make sure whether her invention is usefulC. go to collegeD. encourage more youth volunteers to work■During the 19th century, scientists found that when certain parts of a person’s brain were injured, he would lose the power to do certain things. And so, people thought that each part of the brain does a different job. But modern research has discovered that this is not so, for it is not easy to show exactly what each part of the brain does.In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the amount of research done on the brain. Scientists have found that the way the brain work is not so simple as people in general may think. Chemists tell us that about 100,000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember everything that happens to us. We may not be able to think of the things we have heard and seen, but it is all kept there in the storehouse of the human mind.Earlier scientists thought that the power of one’s brain got weaker and weaker as one grew older. But it is now thought that that’s not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise, it keeps its power. It has been proved that an old person who has always been mentally active has a quicker mind than a young person who has only done physical work without using much of his brain.61. In the last century, scientists found that a person would lose the power to do certain things ______.A. when he had drunk too muchB. if certain parts of his brain were hurtC. after he did a quite different jobD. if he had been greatly frightened62. Scientists today are still unable to show exactly______.A. how many chemical changes take place in the brain each secondB. whether each part of the brain does the same workC. what each part of the brain doesD. which part of the brain is the most important63. It is found in the passage that the brain usuallyworks ______.A. in a fairly complicated wayB. a little now and a little thenC. without any rest all day longD. in a very simple way64. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Scientists are working hard to solve the mysteriesof the brain.B. As many as six million changes take place in the brain every minute.C. A young man doing physical labour is sure to have a much slower mind.D. Even an old man may have a quick mind only if his brain is given much exercise.65. According to the passage, we learn that the moreexercise our brains have, ______.A. the less result we will gainB. the more tired they will feelC. the weaker their power will getD. the more power our brains will get■Healthy relationships with anyone in your life are fun and make you feel good about yourself. Relationships take time, energy, and care to make them healthy. The relationships that you make in your teenage years will be a special part of your life. They will teach you some of the most important lessons about who you are. This may help you understand different kinds of relationships, what makes each relationship special, and how to communicate in a positive way. What makes a relationship healthy?______: The most important part of any healthy relationship between two people is being able to talk and listen to each other. You and the other person can find out what your common interests are. You can share your feelings with the other person and trust that he or she will be there to listen to you and support you. In healthy relationships, people don’t lie. Communication is based on honesty and trust. By listening carefully and sharing your thoughts and feelings with other people, you show them that they play an important part in your life.Respect and Trust: In healthy relationships, you should learn to respect and trust important people in your life. Disagreements may still happen, but you learn to stay calm and talk about how you feel. Talking calmly helps you understand the real reason for not getting along. It makes it much easier to find out how to fix it. In healthy relationships, working through disagreements often makes the relationship stronger. In healthy relationships, people respect each other for who they are. This includes respecting and listening to yourself and your feelings so you can set boundaries and feel comfortable. You will find that you learn to understand experiences and feelings of others as well as having them understand your experiences and feelings.66. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about relationship lessons according to the passage?A. Different kinds of people and occasions.B. Different kinds of relationships.C. How to communicate in a positive way.D. What makes each relationship special.67. What is suitable for the blank in Paragraph 3?A. Help Your FriendsB. Honesty and TrustC. Communication and SharingD. Do Tell the Truth68. According to the passage, what should you do when you find your friend has lied to you?A. Fight back by doing the same thing.B. Talk calmly to him about how you feel.C. Express your anger by shouting at him.D. Keep the secret to yourself.69. To have a healthy relationship with your friends, you should ______.A. respect and trust friendsB. take no notice of your disagreementsC. turn to adults for helpD. keep your own interests70. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Healthy RelationshipsB. How to CommunicateC. A Guide for TeensD. Tips for Healthy Relationships■“Designing is not everybody’s cup of tea”—Not really! Some of the most creative designs that transformed our lives came not from any great inventors. However, these designs did transform them into celebrities. After all, all of us are quite creative. The following designs force us to think we can express our creativity ideas to simplify our lives; and thus make things easier for us.The Flux, designed by Mihai Panaitescu, is in fact a really compact vehicle that was created to offer a pleasing drive to the owners of the car. The design of the car has been changed so that we go through daily life during play and work. The car also includes anX-Box console (控制台) and the body of the car has been made of both plastic and metal—including aluminum (铝).Writing is quite easy for most of us, however, little do we think about the complexities (复杂) that the task involves brain and muscle coordination (协调). Here is a pen that Oskar Daniel designed for people who find it difficult to write. This device is shaped like an hour glass and has a rubber grip knob (球形捏手) that allows one to hold the pen and thus write. In this case one would have to use more of the arm rather than the hand making things simpler for people.This really cool sofa is actually a wall. Now this wall is actually a sofa. Ok, this is a “Wallfa!” The Wallfa was designed by a Barcelonan designer by the name of Jordi Canudas. Wallfa is basically a trendy piece of furniture that is double sided and popular with the people with a great deal of aesthetic (审美的) appeal. On both sides, the furniture features a sofa. In between the two sides is some kind of stretchy (有弹力的) material.71. What do we learn from the first paragraph?A. Not everybody has the ability for designing.B. We can’t create anything unless we are professi- onal.C. Every one has creativity and can make his / her life colourful and easier.D. We never desire to be inventors and do what we should do.72. What is the purpose of the designer in creating thecar the Flux？A. To make the driver feel better when driving.B. To make the car look more attractive.C. To make the car unique and fashionable.D. To make the passengers feel better.73. What does the pen look like?A. An hour glass.B. A rubber grip knob.C. A chair.D. A hand.74. What material is used in the Wallfa?A. Good plastics.B. Aluminum.C. Cotton and wool.D. A stretchy material.75. What does the un derlined word “trendy” mean?A. Very common.B. Popular.C. Ugly.D. Unusual.。
