A“I don’t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Li Ping, a middle sc hool student in Hunan. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children’s eyes?One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he / she likes worrying things. They worry about everything about you, from the time you were born. They do a lot for you, though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily.So how can you make things easier on yourself? It’s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone if you stay somewhere else so that your parents don’t call every hospital in the phone book looking for your body. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you.Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being parents and need help you can give them. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you know how to get on with your children.46. What does the writer think we should do if we go back home later than usual? Weshould ________.A. tell our friendsB. tell the teacherC. e-mail our parentsD. make a telephone call to our parents47. The writer thinks ________.A. it’s wrong of parents to worry about their children too muchB. some parents are unfriendly, which makes their children angryC. children should do everything as their parents sayD. parents love their children very much and the children should understand them48. Which do you think is the best title for the passage?A. Parents’ ResponsibilityB. Li Ping’s ProblemC. How to Get on with ParentsD. What Are Parents Worrying aboutBMeeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize(强调)the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job.In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a better relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, butpeople there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural (多元文化的)environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.57. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _______.A. share the same cultureB. develop closer relationsC. talk about each otherD. keep each other company58. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _______.A. too many words are of no useB. the English prefer to make long speechesC. even talk and silence can be culturally differentD. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature59. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?A. By recognizing different values.B. By accepting different habits.C. By sharing different ways of life.D. By speaking each other' s languages.60. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. I talked too much in the speech, which surprised the audience.B. Within Northern Europe, there are no such things as cultural differences.C. There is no way to overcome (克服) cultural differences.D. Different cultures have difference in relationship building.COne of the latest trends(趋势) in American childcare is Chinese au pairs.Au Pair in Stamford,Conn,for example,has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4,000 since 2004.And that's true all across the country.“I thought it would be very useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age,”Joseph Stocke,the managing director of a company,says of his 2yearold son.“I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.” After only six months of being cared for by a 25yearold woman from China,the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions,his dad says.Li Drake,a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband,had another reason for looking for an au pair from China:She didn't want her children to miss out on their roots.“Because I am Chinese,my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触)the language and culture.” she says.“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,” says Suzanne Flynn,a pro fessor in language education of Children.“But parents must understand that just one year with an au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Co mplete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years. 9.What does that term “au pair” in the text mean?A.A mother raising her children on her own.B.A child learning a foreign language at home.C.A professor in language education of children.D.A young foreign woman taking care of children.10.Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them________.A.to live in China some dayB.to speak the language at homeC.to catch up with other childrenD.to learn about the Chinese culture11.What can we infer from the text?A.Learning Chinese is becoming popular in America.B.Educated women do better in looking after children.C.Chinese au pairs need to improve their English skills.D.Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.DNEW YORK-Australian mining enterprise Clive Palmer on Tuesday unveiled(公布)blueprints for TitanicⅡ, a modern copy of the doomed ocean liner, although he didn't call the ship unsinkable any more.The ship will largely recreate the design and decoration of the fabled original, with some modifications to keep it in line with current safety rules and shipbuilding practices, and the addition of some modern comforts such as air conditioning, Palmer said at a press conference in New York.The three passenger classes, however, will be prevented from mingling(混杂), as in 1912, Palmer said.“I'm not too superstitious(迷信的).”Palmer said when asked whether recreating a ship bestknown for sinking was tempting fate.White Star Line, the operator of the original ship, had said the Titanic was designed to be unsinkable. About 1, 500 people died on Titanic's maiden voyage in 1912 from Southampton to New York after the ship collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic.Palmer, who created the company Blue Star Line last year, refused to make a similar boast.“Anything will sink if you put a hole in it, ” Palmer said.“I think it would be very cavalier to say it.”Unlike the original, TitanicⅡwill have more than enough space in its lifeboats for every person on board and will have additional escape staircases. Markku Kanerva, sales director at Deltamarin, the Finnish company designing the ship, said it wouldbe the “safest cruise ship in the world”.Palmer refused to answer questions about the project's cost. Although the Titanic was the world's largest ship in her time, she would be smaller than many of today's modern cruise ships.“It's not about the money,” Palmer said.“I've got enough money for it.I think that's all that matters.”Forbes estimated Palmer's net worth to be $795 million in 2012.He describes himself as a billionaire.TitanicⅡwill be built by Chinese stateowned CSC Jinling Shipyard, which has already built four ore carriers for Palmer's mining business, he said.The contract to build TitanicⅡhas not yet been signed, Palmer said.12.What can be inferred about TitanicⅡfrom the passage?A.TitanicⅡwill have more space in its lifeboats than the Titanic.B.TitanicⅡwill be the largest cruise ship in the world.C.TitanicⅡwill allow different classes of passengers to mingle.D.TitanicⅡwill be a real unsinkable cruise ship.13.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.1,500 people died on Titanic's maiden voyage in 1912.B.The Titanic collided with an iceberg in the South Pacific.C.The Titanic was equipped with air conditioning.D.The Titanic was the world's largest ship at that time.14.What's the author's purpose of writing the passage?A.To tell us the story of the Titanic.B.To tell us TitanicⅡwill cost a lot of money.C.To tell us about the future Titanic.D.To tell us a Chinese Shipyard will build TitanicⅡ.15.What's the best title of the passage?A.The Old TitanicB.The Blueprints of TitanicⅡC.The Unsinkable TitanicⅡD.Clive Palmer-A Billionaire第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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。
