Like most English children, I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to (习惯于) speaking a foreign language to people who didn't understand French. But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problem.How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Danny a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me."Yes", I said, "I want to give my friend a ring.""Well, that's nice," he said, "Are you getting married? But aren't you a bit young?""Who is talking about marriage?" I replied. "I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her that I arrived. Can you tell me where there is a phone box?""Oh," he said, "There is a phone downstairs."When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me."Don't worry," he said to me. "I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which American use differently in meaning from British. You'll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time, British and American people understand each other!"1. Where was the writer from? He was from________.A. AmericaB. FranceC. EnglandD. another country2.

From the passage we can see that "give somebody a ring" ________.A. means the same in America as in EnglandB. means "call somebody" to the old manC. has two different meaningsD. means "be going to get married" in England5. In the last paragraph the word "they" refers to________.A. the old man and the boyB. the AmericansC. the BritishD. the French信息匹配Directions:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-E for each6. ___________________Your kitten is on the kitchen counter. She is about to step onto a hot stove. You have only seconds to act. Accessing the signals coming from your eyes, your brain quickly calculates when, where, and at what speed you will need to dive to catch her. Then it orders your muscles to do so. Your timing is perfect and she is safe. No computer can come close to your brain’s awesome ability to download, process, and react to the flood of information coming from your eyes, ears, and other sensory organs.7. ___________________Your brain contains about 100 billion microscopic cells called neurons –so many that it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all. Whenever you dream, laugh, think, see or move, it is because tiny chemical and electrical signals are racing between these neurons along billions of tiny neuron highways. Believe it or not, the activity in your brain never stops. Your neurons create and send more messages than all the phones in the entire world.8. ___________________A bee lands on your bare foot. Sensory neurons in your skin relay this information to your spinal cord(脊髓) and brain at a speed of more than 150 miles per hour. Your brain then uses motor neurons to transmit the message back through your spinal cord to your foot and to shake the bee off quickly. Motor neurons can relay this information at more than 200 miles per hour.9. ___________________Riding a bike seems impossible at first. But soon you master it. How? As you practice your brain sends “bike riding” messages along certain pathways of neurons over and over, forming new connections. In fact, the structure of your brain changes every time you learn, as well as whenever you have a new thought or memory.10. ___________________It is well known that any exercise that makes your heart beat faster, like running or playing basketball, is great for your body and can help improve your mood. But scientists have recently learnt that for a period of time after you have exercised, your body produces a chemical that makes your brain more receptive to learning. So if you are stuck on homework problem, go out and play a game of soccer, then try the problem again. You just might discover that you’re able to solve it.I. 完型填空1-15.
