A.pain B.shock C.sorrow D.relief三、阅读理解Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑)across cultures. For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read”someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.49. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?A. Love.B. Politeness.C. Joy.D. Thankfulness.50. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .A. show friendliness to strangersB. be used to hide true feelingsC. be used in the wrong placesD. show personal habits51. What should we do before attempting to “read” people?A. Learn about their relations with others.B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.C. Find out about their past experience.D. Figure out what they will do next.52. What would be the best title for the test?A. Cultural DifferencesB. Smiles and RelationshipC. Facial ExpressivenessD. Habits and Emotions。

There are thousands of volcanoes all over the world.What makes volcanoes？What happens?The inside of the earth is very hot.Because it is very，very hot，the rock has melted like ice.It has become liquid，like water.It is always boiling，like water in a kettle.If you have seen a kettle boiling，you know that the steam and boiling water try to get out.The very hot melted rock inside the earth also tries to get ually it cannot because the outside of the earth is too thick and strong.But in some places the outside of the earth is thin and weak.Sometimes a crack (a small opening) appears.The hot melted rock，which we call“lava”，pushes up through the crack and bursts through.Steam and gas shoot up into the air and the hot melted lava pours out.Big pieces of rock may be thrown high into the air.After a while the volcano becomes quiet again.The melted lava becomes ter the same thing happens again and again.Each time more hot lava pours out on top of the cold lava and then becomes hard.In this way a kind of mountain is built up，with a hole down the middle.Perhaps the volcano will then be quiet and no more lava will burst out.Perhaps it will start again hundreds of years later.[词海拾贝]1．melt v．(使)融化，(使)熔化2．kettle n．水壶3．lava n．岩浆，熔岩4．burst through突然出现；突破5．shoot up迅速上升；猛增[问题思考]1．What is the hot melted rock called?_______________________________________________________2．Will volcanoes start again after lava bursts out?_______________________________________________________答案：va.2．Some will and some won't.自主预习步步提高词汇识记Ⅰ.将单词与其正确释义连线1．diagram A．欣赏；感激2．hurricane B．绝对的；完全的3．absolute C．候选人；候补者4．candidate D．贵重的；珍贵的5．precious E．文件；证件6．document F．阳台7．balcony G．多种多样的8．tremble H．图表9．diverse I．飓风；暴风10．appreciation J．摇晃，颤抖答案：1－H 2－I 3－B 4－C 5－D 6－E 7－F 8－J 9－G 10－AⅡ.根据所给汉语提示写出单词1．____________ n．灰；灰末2．____________ n．一套外衣vt.适合3．____________ adj.实在的；实际的4．____________ vt.射中；射伤5．____________ adj.忧虑的；不安的6．____________ vt. & vi.惊慌；恐慌7．____________ vt.保证；担保8．____________ vi.洗澡答案：1.ash 2.suit 3.actual 4.shoot 5.anxious 6.panic7.guarantee 8.batheⅢ.根据英语释义写出单词1．________：next to or along the side of something2．________：to carefully consider something to see how useful or valuable it is3．________：a line of raised water that moves across the surface of the sea4．________：the possibility that something will develop in a certain way，or have a particular effect5．________：to choose someone for a position or a job6．________：all the special tools, machines, clothes etc.that you need for a particular activity答案：1.alongside 2.evaluate 3.wave 4.potential 5.appoint 6.equipment Ⅳ.选用短语的适当形式完成句子2．A chemistry factory ________________________ in the fire.3．He __________________________ Chairman of the Student Union in our school.4．Though it was raining, the soldiers ________ the village.5．When I came home，my father was ______________________.6．I ____________________ the station to pick him up when he telephoned me that he was delayed.答案：pare with 2.was burnt to the ground 3.has been/was appointed as 4.were making their way to 5.fast asleep 6.was about to go toⅤ.领会句子所用句型并译成汉语1．Having__collected__and__evaluated the information, I help other scientists to predict where lava from the volcano will flow next and how fast.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________2．I__was__about__to go back to sleep when suddenly my bedroom became as bright as day.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________3．It__was__not__easy__to__walk in these suits, but we slowly made our way to the edge of the crater and looked down into the red, boiling centre.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________4．The other two climbed down into the crater to collect some lava for later study, but this__being my first experience，I stayed at the top and watched them._______________________________________________________答案：1.收集和评估了这些信息之后，我就帮助其他科学家一起预测下次火山熔岩将往何处流，流速是多少。
