Itwarns certain meals are high in sodium. The first US city is ta king the step to fight against heart disease and stroke(中风). Any menu item with more than 2.3 grams of sodium in it must have the emblem of a salt shaker in a black triangle. Many sci entists give us the advice: A person shouldn’t eat more sodiu m than the daily limit every day, which equals about one teas poon of salt.“It’s not hard to get 2.3 grams of sodium into your mouth,” sai d Dr Howard Weintraub from New York University Langone C enter(预防中心). A study found New Yorkers eat more than 3,200 mg of so dium each day on average(平均), the health department said. For most Americans, eating in the restaurants such as Chipotl e(小辣椒) and Subway(赛百味)is thought to be more healthy. The new menu symbol may be an eye-opener for people who go to eat in these restaurants. Until Tu esday, they may haven’t noticed that there is 2,790 mg sodiu m in a Chipotle loaded chicken burrito(双层鸡肉卷). And a foot-long spicy Italian sub(香辣三明)has 2,980 mg sodium in Subway.Getting New Yorkers to start watching their sodium intake is a first step. And people should do more to improve their health.“Things are not going to work out great if all you do is just not eat salt,” Weintraub said. “But maybe, just maybe, they’ll start to watch how much they eat, maybe they will get off the subw ay a stop earlier and walk, instead of taking the elevator, they will walk two flights, there will be some weight loss.”31. What’s the symbol on the menus like?A. A white bottle in the red circle.B. A tiny salt shaker in a black triangle.C. A capital letter P in a yellow circle.D. A coffee cup in a white triangle32. A Chipotle loaded chicken burrito has ________ sodium m ore than the daily limit.A. 490 mgB. 900 mgC. 2,790 mgD. 3,200 mg33. We can infer from the passage that __________.A. all restaurants across the US will use the salt shaker symb olB. New Yorkers eat one teaspoon of salt each day on averag eC. eating too much salt can cause heart disease and strokeD. New York will ban (禁止) smoking in public places34. The underlined word “eye-opener” in the passage probably means “__________”.A. 喜悦B. 愤怒C. 失望D. 震惊35. According to Weintraub, which is a healthy life style?A. People should eat no salt when they are old.B. Jim takes the elevator up and down.C. Lucy climbs a long flight of stairs.D. We should eat meals which are high in sodium.CThere is really little doubt that the British are different from oth er members of the European Community as some recent stati stics demonstrate(说明). Take marriage for instance. Nowhere else in Europe—except for Portugal—has fewer marriages. Yet Britain has the highest divorce rate-almost half of all marriages end up on the rocks. Italian couple s are six times more likely to stick together. Of those who divo rce, British men seem far more willing to take another chance than women divorcées.However, Britain measures up pretty well in other department s. It is the second safest place in Europe to drive a car, beate n only by Norway. There are many more fatal road accidents in France, Spain and Portugal. Also, the reputation the British have for being work-shy is not confirmed(确认) by statistics. At an average of forty-four hours a week they beat even the hard-working Germans by four hours. Unfortunately, there is a dow nside to this. Britain and Holland share the worst rates of job absenteeism(旷工) in the whole of Europe. The Dutch and the British, so alik e in many superficial(表面的) senses, differ markedly in one area: The British lock up twi ce as many people as the Dutch do.36．Which country seems to have the most safe marriages?A．Portugal B．Italy C．Britain D．Franc e37．Divorced men in Britain ______ .A．usually do not get married againB．are more likely to marry again than divorced womenC．generally remarry women who have not already been mar riedD．are usually willing to live with women divorcées38．Which of these countries has the worst road accident rec ord?A．France B．Norway C．Britain D．Italy 39．Which of these statements is true?A．The British work as many hours as the Germans.B．Britain has Europe's best road safety record.C．Britain is tougher on criminals than Dutch.D．The British work fewer hours than the Germans. 40．Which people appear to be the most conscientious(勤恳的) workers?A．The Dutch.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpiece written in 1876 by the famous writer Mark Twain. The story line is simple. The book is like a biography (自传) of a summer in Tom Sawyer's life.Tom Sawyer is a smart but naughty young boy living in the small town on the Mississippi River. He is an orphan and lives with his aunt. He has many clever ideas, but doesn't like school，and always likes to escape the school to fish. Tom has a trusted friend, Huck Finn, who few of the adults approve of. Tom Sawyer and Finn have great adventures on the Mississippi River, pretending to be pirates, attending their own funeral, and witnessing a murder. Tom overes fear and appears in court and speaks out the murderer. He and his friends finally discover a lot of treasures and they bee millionaires ...Mark Twain's writing is based on his own childhood and his personal experience. What makes this story great is that Tom Sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood. It is a story filled with action, adventure, ingenious ideas, love, and schoolyard politics. The wholestory is seemingly a plication of what Twain did or wished to do during his childhood.The book is a little difficult to read at first. Perhaps, it will take you a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect in the book. But on the whole，the book is an enjoyable read for people of all ages. I highly remend this book for anyone looking forward to feeling young again. 65．Which of the following is doesn’t fit in with Tom Sawyer?A. He often escapes the school.B. He has a trusted friend.C. He is a good student.D. Both of his parents died when he was young.66．The author's purpose of writing this passage is to ________.A. let readers know Mark TwainB. remind people of their childhoodC. tell the story of The Adventures of Tom SawyerD. remend the book to readers(B)For a while, my neighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “e on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.”Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I’m not alone in my opinion.First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding（追击）ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out ther e with just my thoughts” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never go t past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three time s a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise,and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.67. What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning?A. He felt it was worth a try.B. He was very fond of it.C. He was strongly against it.D. He thought it must be painful.68. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?A. He disliked doing exercise outside.B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.D. He was worried about being left alone.69. From the writer’s experience, we can conclude that______.A. not everyone enjoys joggingB. he is the only person who hates joggingC. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fitD. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport.(C)Hetty Robinson learnt all about money when very young. As a child, she read the financial pages of the newspaper to her rich father. Her father died when Hetty was 30, and she inherited $1 million. When she herself died in 1916, she left almost $100 million to her two children.Hetty made her money on the New York stock exchange. She was a financial genius. She made money so easily that people called her the Witch of Wall Street. But although she was one of the richest women in the world, she counted every cent and spent as little as possible. She didn’t own a house, because she didn’t want to pay prope rty taxes. So she and her children lived in cheap hotels.She spent almost nothing on clothes, and always wore the same long black dress. She washed it herself, but to save soap she only washed the bottom of the dress, where it touched the ground. Other people had their own offices, but Hetty used a desk in the bank where she kept her money, because it didn’t cost anything. She sat in the bank and ate her sandwiches while she bought and sold stocks and shares. If the bank plained, she just moved all her money to another bank.Hetty’s family paid the price for her meanness. When she was 33 she married a millionaire, Edward Green, and they had two children. But Green lost all his money, so she left him. When her son, Ned, injured his knee, Hetty didn’t want to pay for a doctor, so she took him to a free hospital for poor people. Unfortunately the doctor knew Hetty was rich and he asked for money. Hetty refused and took the boy away. His leg got worse and two years later doctors removed it.But eventually Ned got his revenge. At the age of 81 Hetty had an argument with a shop assistant about the price of a bottle of milk. She became so angry that she had a heart attack anddied. So Hetty’s meanness finally killed her. Ned inherited half his mother’s fortune, and he spent it all on parties, holidays and expensive jewellery.70. What fact can be learned about Hetty Robinson from the passage?A. She came from a poor family.B. She worked for a bank.C. She was nice to her son.D. She died from extreme anger.71. Hetty Robinson was called the Witch of Wall Street mainly because _____.A. she was fond of reading financial pages of the newspaperB. she made a huge fortune easily through stocks and sharesC. she liked wearing the same long black dress every dayD. she turned out to be the richest woman in New York72. Which of the following best describes Hetty Robinson?A. Talented but not generous.B. Wealthy and kind.C. Aggressive but not diligent.D. Curious and lucky.(D)In xx, a study was conducted in Hong Kong to find out why some people appeared to be better at public speaking. Three hundred people who were employed in jobs that require an advanced level of public speaking skills were interviewed. The participants included politicians, professors and motivational speakers. The results of the study showed that 77% of the participants reported having parents that encouraged them to ask questions and state their opinions from a young age. Eighty-five percent answered that their parents had repeatedly exposed them to a variety of positive “public speaking” experiences at home. These experiences included practicing speeches, performing dramas and reciting poems.In another study to determine the causes of fear of public speaking, 70% of the participants said they had not had any public speaking opportunities at home. Eighteen percent of the participants had been given such opportunities, but these had resulted in a loss of confidence.One of the participants recalled a painful experience from when he was eight years old. His parents had arranged for him to present his school project about earthquakes to his cousins. As an outgoing boy, he was eager to show off all his hard work, until he forgot a sentence and started to stutter (结巴). His cousins began to laugh at him, and instead of his family encouraging him to continue with his presentation, his father told him to call it a day. The stress of this incident andthe feeling of being rejected carried over to school, where he started struggling with his words and went red like a sunset every time he had to speak in front of an audience.From these studies, we can see that the way parents handle their child’s munication efforts and a child’s future attitude towards public speaking can be linked. Not all people are born afraid of public speaking, but rather they grow to be afraid of it due to awful experiences or outside influences. Yet this does not mean they have no control over their fear—because they do.73. According to the study of xx, _____ were important in making successful public speakers.A. caring professorsB. high motivationsC. encouraging parentsD. original opinions74. In the 3rd paragraph, the expression “call it a day” most probably means _____.A. stopB. respondC. tryD. relax75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. How much exposure to public speaking is proper?B. What kinds of jobs require public speaking skills?C. Is public speaking important for children?D. Are people born afraid of public speaking?76. The paragraph following the last might be about _____.A. more experiences of unsuccessful public speakingB. ways to gain self-confidence in public speakingC. other reasons for failure in public speakingD. features of successful public speaking(E)Here is one of the world’s largest indoor ski-slopes. It covers an area of 22,500m2, about the same size as three football fields, and the temperature is a constant -1℃ to -2℃. However, the strangest thing about this place is that it’s in the middle of the desert! It’s called Ski Dubai and the outside temperatures can rise to more than 40℃! It sounds crazy, but it just shows how serious people are about having fun. We spend huge sums on sports facilities. We pay our sports stars ridiculous amounts of money. And we spend hour after hour playing games! I wonder if all thesports-lovers and game-players in the world aren’t a little crazy. I know I am. I was once driving past a football field where some kids were playing. I turned to watch and crashed my car. I know it’s stupid but I can do nothing about it. As someone said, “Football isn’t a matter of life and death. It’s much more important than that!”Of course, it isn’t that important really. No game is. But the problem is that games are addictive (使人上瘾的). From the tennis court to the golf course, you’ll find participants and spectators who can’t live without the drug of their choice. It could be a good thing. After all, despite being addictive, it’s true that sports and games help us to relax.Maybe if it wasn’t for sport, our societies would be more violent. Perhaps sport is a substitute for war? It’s hard to think of a quieter, more peaceful game than chess, and what’s the objective? Capturing your opponent’s king. And surely, it’s better to have wars in athletics stadiums rather than on battlefields.What’s more, playing is natural. Kittens chase balls of wool and puppies pretend to fight. Games help us perfect our skills and prepare us for the serious contest of survival.But do all games help us relax and stay away from violence? What about puter games? A recent article in New Scientist suggests that playing violent video games (and most of them are extremely violent) makes people more aggressive and more likely to mit violent crimes.Are these games a rehearsal (彩排) for life or a substitute for life? Do we play instead of facing up to our real problems? I don’t know. But what I do know is that I need a break. Something to help me relax. Skiing would be nice. I wonder how much it costs to get to Dubai?77. According to the author, the most surprising thing about Ski Dubai is its _____.A. slopesB. sizeC. locationD. facilities78. The expression “the drug of their choice” in the 3rd paragraph refers to _____.A. the game they are keen onB. the medicine they takeC. the activity good for healthD. the sport in place of war79. Which of the following statements does the author most probably agree with?A. Sports stars should be paid more to play well.B. Sports are more important than life and death.C. Chess is too peaceful to be considered a sport.D. Games can make one relaxed as well as violent.80. What does the author mainly talk about in the passage?A. The relationship between games and crimes.B. Human natural craze for having fun with games.C. Serious concerns about time that is spent on games.D. Real problems facing game players in everyday life.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.你讲话的方式有时比你讲话的内容更重要。

Each wordThe unique features of colleges and universities in the U.S. are hardly shared by their petitors in Europe or Asia. Many foreign students are attracted not only to the academic programs at a particular U.S. college but also to the larger munity, which affords the chance for them to absorb the surrounding culture. Clubs, sports teams, student publications and drama societies____40_____colorful and enjoyable American campus life. However, few foreign universities put much emphasis on this. “In people’s minds, the campus and the American university are both admirable,” says Brown University President Vartan Gregorian. “In America people have a strong _____41____ that a student’s daily life is as important as his learning experience.”Foreign students also e in search of ____42_____. America’s menu of options—research universities, state institutions, private liberal-arts schools, munity colleges, religious institutions—is ____43______.No any single European country can offer such variety. “In Europe,” says history professor Jonathan Steinberg, who has taught at both Harvard and Cambridge, “there is only one system, and that is it.” From the b eginning, students overseas usually are required to ____44____professional skills in a specific field, whether law or philosophy or chemistry. Most American universities insist that students have a(n)____45_____on natural and social sciences, languages and literature before choosing a field of concentration.Such ____46_____ philosophies grow out of different traditions and power structures. In Europe and Japan, universities are ____47_____ only to a ministry of education, which sets academic standards and provides money.Centralization(集权化) is likely to ____48____ that all students are equipped with roughly the same resources and perform at roughly the same level. On the other hand, It may also_____49___ the testing of different ideas. “When they make mistakes, they make big ones,” says Robert Rosenzweig, president of the Association of American Universities. “They set a system in wrong directions, and it’s like piloting aPublic image doesn’t make money directly, nor is it anything visible. However, excellent public image is such an important thing that it is 50 desired by every pany, enterprise, institution, etc. Public image refers to how a pany is 51 by its customers, suppliers, and stockholders(股东), by the financial munity, by the munities where it operates, and by federal and local governments. Public image is controllable to 52 extent, just as the product, price, place, and promotional efforts are.A firm’s public image plays a vital role in the 53 of the firm and its products to employees, customers, and to such outsiders as stockholders, suppliers, creditors (贷款方), government officials, as well as different special groups. With some things it is impossible to ___54_____ all the different publics: for example, a new highly automated plant may meet the ___55______of creditors and stockholders. However, it will 56 find resistance from employees who see their jobs threatened. On the other hand, high quality products and service standards should bring almost plete approval, while low quality products and false claims would be widely looked down upon.A firm’s public image, if it is good, should be 57 . It is a valuable strength that usually is built up over a long and satisfying relationship of a firm with publics. If a firm has58 a quality image, this is not easily imitated by petitors. Such an image may enable a firm to charge higher prices, to win the best distributors and dealers, to attract the best employees, to expect the most favorable creditor relationships and lowest borrowing costs. It should also allow the firm’s stock to 59 higher price-earnings ratio (比例) than other firms in the same industry with such a good reputation and public image.III. Reading prehensionSection A (15)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Apes and human beings share a lot in mon when it es to behavior. The evidence taken from the observation of the behavior of apes and children suggests that there are three causes for the outbreak of fighting and the exhibition of 60 by individuals.One of the most mon causes of fighting among both children and apes was over the____61____ of external objects. The argument over the ownership of any desired object—food, clothes, toys, females, and the affection of others—was sufficient reason to 62 force. In a case of monkeys’ disagreement over females, thirty females were killed. Two points are of particular interest to notice about these fights for possession.In the first place the fights are often carried to such an extreme that they end in the63___destruction of the objects of mon desire. Toys are torn to pieces and females are killed.In the second place it is observable, that 64 occurs when an object is desired by only one person or by someone else. There were many cases where toys and other objects which had been thrown away as useless were 65 defended by their owners when they became the object of some other child’s desire.Another cause of aggression is the tendency for children and apes greatly to ___66_____ the invading of a stranger into their group. A new child in the class may be laughed at, isolated, and disliked. A new monkey may be bitten to death. It is interesting to note that anger occurs when a stranger es from the 67 species. Monkeys do not mind being 68 by a goat or a rat. Children do not object when animals are introduced to the group. As a matter of fact, such newers are often ____69____. But when monkeys meet a new monkey or children a strange child, aggression often occurs. This strongly suggests that the reason for the aggression is fundamentally possessiveness. The 70 of the newers is feared. The present members of the group feel that there will be more petitors for the food or the attention of the adults.Finally, another mon source of fighting among children is a frustration or failure in their own ____71____. A child will be stopped either by 72 causes such as bad weather or illness from doing something he wishes to do, for example, sail his boat or ride the bicycle. Sometimes the activity may be 73 because of the opposition of some adult. The child may also frustrate itself by ____74_____, through lack of skill or strength, to plete successfully some desired activity. Such a child will then in the ordinary sense bee “naughty”. He will be in a bad or unfriendly temper.60. A. fulfillment B. excitement C. isolation D. aggressiveness61. A. usage B. possession C. value D. collection62. A. turn to B. drive away C. e over D. make into63. A. moderate B. subtle C. plete D. temporary64. A. conflict B. negotiation C. agreement D. donation65.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)My husband and I were once in Nepal(尼泊尔) to see sunrise over the Himalayas.One morning we awoke to total darkness at 5 o’clock. As we rushed through a town with cameras in hand, I noticed the calm, gentle way the Nepalese people greeted the morning. One man boiled a huge pot of milk tea, and other villagers gathered around his fire, cupping their hands around small glasses of the steaming sweet mixture. It was fascinating, but not to be left behind, we joined the stream of tourists moving quickly up to the lookout point.The top was crowded when we arrived, but after 10 minutes of cold waiting, the assembled group gave up. “The cloud cover is too heavy,” one said. Then one by one they rushed down the hill to the next item on their sightseeing list. I was disappointed as well, but suddenly I noticed a small Nepalese boy absently playing with a stick and shooting quick glances at the clouds. He must know something we don’t, I thought. I decided to wait with him.The boy and I didn’t have to wait long. Moments later, a tiny stream of golden light burned through one thick cloud, then another. Rose-colored fog warmed the backs of the clouds, and suddenly the morning sun stole a glance around the side of the mountain, miles above where I’d expected it to be.Nothing I’d seen before prepared me for the moment the clouds withdrew with bowed heads, and the magnificent Himalayas were revealed before, around, and above me. I sat in astonishment, not breathing, not daring to look away, certain that God had placed me here at the backdoor of Earth to show me what Heaven really looks like.I certainly got the message. Never again will I rush a sunrise. I now know Nature will supply her fruits to me only when I am truly ready to receive them.75.What does “It” in Paragraph 2 most probably imply?A. The darkness of the town in the morning.B. The huge pot of milk tea boiling on the fire.C. The way the local people weled the day.D. The stream of tourists rushing to the lookout point.76.The author decided to wait with the Nepalese boy because ______.A. she felt kind of having faith in himB. the restless tourists disappointed herC. that boy was praying to the sun with a magic stickD. she had nothing more to see on her sightseeing list77.Which of the following words best describe the author’s feeling when she sawthe sunrise?A.

But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Here’s my own suggestion.It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.“My dear husband,” said his hopeful wife one day, “have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?”Her dul l and indifferent husband replied that he had not. “But it is, it is,” she replied excitedly. Mr. Dull-Husband made no reply.“Don’t you want to know her plans?” she cried with some impatience.“Well, clearly you think it matters to your silly little head... so I’d better listen.”“Well, my dear, the rumour is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me. She will move in herself next month.“What is her name?” “Bingley.”“Is she married or single?”“What a question! And none of your business.” But her ing will be a fine thing for our five boys. “How so? How can it possibly affect them?”“My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up. Th ere are bound to be jobs going.”“Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place.”“Nonsense, my love, how little you’ve noticed the world has changed. She’s got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification, I’m told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call.”“Me? No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job.”“Oh, that’s not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think I’ll go along all the same.”And Mrs. Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSE(英国富时指数)-listed pany.... It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs. Bennet would be one of very few women on the pany board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more “female” dimension and her lifespan among the city’s business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, she’d no doubt have enjoyed Davos(达沃斯论坛)—and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.83. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Austen was born 200 years ago.B. Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice.C. Austen’s success lies in her wisdom.D. Austen’s updated work gains popularity.84. The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs. Bennet ________.A. had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about BingleyB. felt kind of worried and doubtful about BingleyC. was extremely anxious to meet BingleyD. had a great curiosity about Bingley85. In the eyes of Mrs. Bennet, Bingley surely needed one of their boys to ________.A. get married toB. work for herC. help her move inD. take over her store86. What does the writer intend to tell us?A. Women with brains can also be as successful as men.B. Women have to pay a high price for success.C. A judgment must be made free from prejudice.D. Sex discrimination still exists nowadays.(D)The term culture now is more used to describe everything from the fine arts to the outlook of a business group or a sports team. In its original sense, however, culture includes all identifying aspects of a racial group, nation, or empire: its physical environment, history, and traditions, its social rules and economic structure, and its religious beliefs and arts.The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another. It is for this reason that most people regard culture as learned rather than innate. People acquire a culture because they are not born with one. The process by which a person develops a taste for regional foods, accented speech, or an outlook on the world over time, therefore, is known as enculturation (文化适应).Cultures are often identified by their symbols —images that are familiar and coated with meaning. Totem poles(图腾柱) carved with animals and creative figures suggest aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest but more literally represent specific tribes(部落). In Asia and India, the color of yellow is connected with temples while in ancient China it was a color only the emperor’s family was allowed to wear. Thus, different cultures may respond to a symbol quite differently. For example, to some a flag may represent pride, historical acplishments, or ideals; to others, however, it can mean danger or oppression.To individuals unfamiliar with cultures outside their own, the beliefs, behaviors, and artistic expression of other groups can seem strange and even threatening. A society that ranks all other cultures against its own standards is considered to be ethnocentric (from the Greek ethnos, meaning “people,” and kentros, meaning “center”). A strongly ethnocentric society assumes also that what is different from its own culture is likely to be inferior and, possibly, wrong or evil.All people are ethnocentric to some degree, and some aspects of ethnocentrism, such as national pride, contribute to a well-functioning society. An appreciation for one’s own culture, however, does not prevent acceptance and respect for another culture. History documents the long-term vigour and success of multicultural groups in which people from numerous and various cultural backgrounds live and work together. Extreme ethnocentrism, in contrast, can lead to racism —the belief that it is race and racial origin that account for variations in human character or ability and that one’s own race is superior to all others.87. What does the word “innate” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. Instinctive.B. Developed.C. Believable.D. Cultivated.88. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Different interpretations of a symbol help to distinguish one culture from another.B. An ethnocentric country opens weling arms to cultures different from its own.C. Culture consists of some positive features of a racial group, nation or empire.D. People from various cultural backgrounds often reach an agreement on some image.89. What can be inferred from the passage?A. All aspects of ethnocentrism can produce negative effects on a society.B. Racism is unlikely to bring about serious conflicts among different cultures.C. Respect and acceptance of different cultures are a proper cultural attitude.D. Countries with a strong sense of national pride play a superior role in the world.90. Which might be the best title of the passage?A. Culture, the origin of racial superiorityB. Culture, a faithful mirror of historyC. Culture, the vigour of world developmentD. Culture, a distinctive identity of a nationSection C (8)Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.Some of the most popular programmes on British television, all with their regular millions of loyal viewers, are ‘soaps’such as Coronation Street, Eastenders and Emmerdale. (A ‘soap’is an informal word for a ‘soap opera’, which is a television story, in daily or weekly episodes (连续剧集), about the daily lives of the characters in it.)In every soap there is the inevitable gossip, and there is the essential character who brings misfortune on himself — or herself, the spiteful woman who hates the success of her sister in marrying a man with money and whose childish behavior splits the family.To some degree, of course, the regular episodes provide many people with an adult kind of ic, rather like Dickens’ serialized novels did. At times, the actions and characters in them seem quite realistic; at other times, they go to the other extreme and show actions that look as if they are straight from the pen of the best fiction writers. But perhaps the fall into clearly fictional edy or tragedy is necessary to remind regular viewers that their daily amount of ‘soap’is no more and no less than a shot of fiction, and that the characters are not real.Certainly life is never dull in a soap. If one of the adolescents buys a motorbike and a young child lives round the corner, you can bet the two will meet in an accident. If two people fall in love and get married, you can be sure that a friend will cast an insult on the character of one of them, enough to break up the marriage. After all, this is not life; this is a soap! Reality makes way for fiction. The viewers who think that they are watching even a reflection of reality only bring disappointment to themselves. But there are still viewers who follow the ings and goings of the characters on screen with unreasoning faith, believing that the events are real when characters are injured or ill, or even die, and send cards or flowers with best wishes, congratulations or sympathies.What many of us find difficult to understand is just why soaps have bee so popular?(Note: Answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)91. Coronation Street, Eastenders and Emmerdale are popular British soaps which ______.92. What are the two necessary elements of a soap opera?93. The regular viewers need to be reminded that the soap operas are ______.94. What do some TV viewers do when they are mad about the soaps?xx高一摸底考试答案I.

There will be some people who e to you with unconnected knowledge, talking about, say, Vitamin B12 and other modern __42__. When they ask advice, begin at that level. Unless you start at their own level, they will not be able to understand. You must explain to them in scientific terms the effects of the food they eat, and how theyneed to __43__ it.You have to train yourself to be very __44__. Staying at one level is not being a free man. If we stay at a very high level all the time, that is not practical.A limitless person goes __45__ from one level of thinking to another, according to his circumstances. To do this we must get rid of our unwillingness to change our way of thinking or behavior, bee friends with everyone, and have the same loving feelings for everyone. Then we can give advice to all kinds of people. If there is someone or something you dislike, you are still __46__, and your ability to give advice is reduced. For anyone, the same. A free person acts like that.You cannot stay with a sick person all the time. You must __47__ a person’s freedom as much as you can. If people really want to die, let them—it is their freedom. The point is never to bee an authority __48__; remain a friend or advisor. People should not e back __49__ for consultation; if they do, your advice has been inplete—you did not know how to give the __50__ advice about freedom.

The pace of life these days is also faster. __58__, many peopleprefer to buy all their food from shops and supermarkets because it saves time and energy, both of which foraging requires.__59__, things are changing once again and in the last few years, foraging has bee __60__ in those countries with supermarkets.

Reading prehension 28%My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat almost at the same time. It was hanging at a secondhand clothing store. While the other coats looked rather depressed, this one looked as if it were holding itself up. The thick, black wool of the chesterfield (长大衣) was soft and unworn. It was beautifully tailored and had an unbelievable price tag of $28. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, bearing that touch ofclassic elegance from long ago.John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror with a serious, studied expression that soon changed into a smile. The fit was perfect.John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a grin.“How did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it!” he said merrily, carefully folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat.Over the next few weeks, a change came over John. Agreement replaced protest, quiet, reasoned discussion replaced argument. He bee more sensible, more polite, more thoughtful, eager to please. “Good dinner, Mom,” he would say every evening. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who alway s put things off, said, “You’re right. I guess I will.”When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn’t know what caused the changes, she said laughing. “It must be his coat!” At the library, we ran into a friend who had n ot seen our children for a long time, “Could this be John?” he asked, looking up to John’s new height, assessing the style of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another.Sometimes, watching John leave for school, I’m reminded of what it felt like to be at his age---a time when it was as easy to try on different approaches to life as it was to try on a coat.67.Why did John’s eyes shine when he saw the coat?A. It was the first time that he had been to a secondhand store.B. It was pleasant for him to share the same taste with mom.C. He fell in love with that coat and wanted to put it on.D. He managed to get his mom to buy him a new coat.68. What does the underlined word “grin” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. A big smile.B. A sad look.C. A jealous remark.D. An anxious thought.69.Which of the following might be the best title?A. A Special Shopping ExperienceB. A Caring MotherC. A Magical CoatD. John’s Taste for Clothing(B)Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is mon for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face munication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it es to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be acceptedif it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that es from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their panies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.70. The passage is mainly about ________.A. munication typesB. the workplace atmosphereC. customs and social mannersD. living conditions and standards71. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A. They put efficiency in the first place.B. They dislike face-to-face munication.C. They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.72. In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?A. When greeting seniors.B. When meeting the host alone.C. When attending a presentation.D.When dining with business partners.73. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?A. In Brazil.B. In Singapore.C. In the United Arab Emirate.D. In Switzerland.(C)William Kamkwamba: How I harnessed the windAt age 14, in poverty and famine, a Malawian boy built a windmill to power his family's home.

It starts: "Once upon a time ... "Lauren Hodge, Shree Bose, Naomi ShahIn xx three young women swept the top prizes of the first Google Science Fair.

All these TED videos aim to ___________.A. analyze the different ways to successB. promote the latest scientific inventionsC. introduce the famous teenage speakersD. encourage passion for science and creativity(D)If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality(虚拟现实) device. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. "As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner's pants," she said. "That's the picture I remember best."The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it.To get used to seeing another person's body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronised(同步的) movement bees fortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person's body.Using such technology promises to alter people's behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality canbe effective in fighting racism-the bias(偏见) that humans have against those who don't look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people's associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants' bias scores were lower. The idea is that once you've "put yourself in another's shoes" you're less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person.The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. "At the end of body swapping, people feel like holding each other in their arms," says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project. "It's a really nice way to have this kind of experience. I would really, really remend it to everyone."77.The word "swapping" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to______.A. buildingB. exchangingC. controllingD. transplanting78.We can infer from the experiment at the Be Another lab that______.A. our feelings are related to our bodily experienceB. we can learn to take control of other people's bodiesC. participants will live more passionately after the experimentD. The Machine to Be Another can help people change their sexes79.In the Implicit Association Test, before the participants used virtual reality glasses to control a dark skinned digital character, ______.A. they fought strongly against racismB. they scored lower on the test for racismC. they changed their behaviour dramaticallyD. they were more biased against those unlike them80.t can be concluded from the passage that______.A. technology helps people realize their dreamsB. our biases could be eliminated through experimentsC. virtual reality helps promote understanding among peopleD. our points of view about others need changing constantlyKEY17-31 ABDAD DABBB BDDDA32-41 ADACB DDACD42-51 BC A AB CD D AD ABC B AC C52-66 ACDAB CABDC CADBA67-69 CAC70-73 CDBD74-75 BDD77-80 BADC温馨提示：最好仔细阅读后才下载使用，万分感谢！。
