(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)AOne day I was waiting in line to check out at Wal-Mart. Like a lot of people who want to get through a checkout line, my thoughts were on speed, nothing more. The line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier.There stood a man in his seventies. Of average build, he wore glasses and a nice smile. I thought, “Well, he’s an old guy and it probably takes him a little longer to get the chores (工作) done.”For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before he began scanning the items they were purchasing. Sure, his words were the usual, "How’s it going?" But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.I thought it was strange, but I guess I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of a robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don’t give any thoug ht to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live,” and someone would reply, “Have a great day!”This old cashier had my attention. He seemed genuine (真诚的) about wanting to know how people were feeling. And after giving them the change, the old cashier looked the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You will have a great day. Bye-bye.”The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some shy grins (露齿而笑). All had been touched by his simple gesture in a place they never expected.31. The author glanced at the cashier because of _________.A. the slow speed of the checkout lineB. the look of the old cashierC. the smile on the cashier’s faceD. the long line of customers32. In the fourth paragraph, the author intends to tell us _________.A. no one cared about his healthB. people usually have robotic conversationsC. people are not friendly to each otherD. he was suffering from a serious disease33. What is special about the old cashier according to the author?A. He worked hard at his old age.B. He listened to people attentively.C. He gave customers the right change.D. He had usual conversations with customers.34. How did the customers probably feel after meeting the old cashier?A. Quite ashamed of themselves.B. Unexpectedly moved.C. Completely puzzled.D. Curious but happy.BThe Beijing International Marathon, held annually since 1981, is traditionally held in October, when the temperature is usually above 10 degrees Celsius in the Chinese capital.But it has been postponed by about a month, meaning the temperature may be just around 5 degrees Celsius, according to the weather forecast. Weather is the biggest concern.Medical teams in Beijing are on their marks for the marathon on Sunday after a runner died in Guangzhou several days ago.The teams ― including six motorcycles, 25 ambulances, 110 medical professionals, 480 volunteers and a command vehicle ― will serve the 30,000 participants from across the world.“The medical team is fully prepared,” said Wang Lixin, an official from Beijing Emergency Medical Center who is responsi ble for the event’s medical service.A volunteer will be deployed (分布) every 100 meters, and for every 5 kilometers there will be a medical booth with medical advice and medicine, Wang said. Those medical volunteers are either medical majors, or have received training and have first aid certificates.On November 18, a 21-year-old college student fainted (昏倒) at the finish line after completing a 10 km race in the Guangzhou International Marathon and died later in hospital of a heart attack.The death caused public concerns over the risk of running a marathon. The website of the Beijing marathon has published articles and instructions on how to train and prepare, how to run in winter, and how to avoid injuries.On Sunday, the event’s organizer will also offer warm-up exercises, cold-proof raincoats, chocolate and other supplies along the route, according to Wang.However, Wang Lixin said that the safety of the race also depends on the racers’ cooperation. They should reveal (透露) their real health condition. “Any deception (欺骗) is very irresponsible,” Wang Lixin said.35. The underlined part “on their marks” has the closest meaning to “_________”.A. on scheduleB. in chargeC. on dutyD. prepared36. If a runner has problems during the race, the volunteers can _________.A. offer professional medical helpB. order him to stop the race at onceC. offer any necessary supply on the sceneD. arrange an ambulance from the nearest hospital37.

A handclasp is the custom when chimpanzees clasp (握住) each other’s arms, raise them into the air, and groom each other with their free arm.Grooming for chimpanzees has two purposes: first, to clean dirt and parasites (寄生虫) from their skin, and second, to strengthen the bonds of family and friendship. Consequently, the way the chimpanzees practice these handclasps indicates the community in which they belong.The research shows that between chimpanzee communities (群体) with similar genetic (基因的) backgrounds and ecological environments, the chimpanzees have subtle (细微的) differences in grooming handclasps. For example, one chimpanzee group highly prefer the style where they will grasp each other’s hands during the grooming, while another group engage (参加) in a clasp where they will fold their wrists around each other’s wrists.“We don’t know what factors account for these differences,” says Edwin van Leeuwen, one of the study’s authors. “But our study at least shows that these chimpanzee communities have formed and maintained their own local grooming traditions over the last 5 years.”The research team followed these populations and noted that young individuals developed the handclasp behavior over time. Being taught through the handclasp partnership with their mothers means that chimpanzees socially learn their local tradition. Previously, traditions and cultures have been difficult to establish (建立) in animal societies due to complex ecological and genetic factors. However, this study concludes that evidence of varying handclasps is not only motivated by genetic instincts (本能), but may also be partly cultural in nature.43. Chimpanzee communities with similar genetic backgrounds and ecological environments probably ________.A. have the same way of gloomingB. exchange their grooming handclaspsC. have slightly different grooming handclaspsD. prefer to gloom chimpanzees in other communities44. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Cultures may exist in chimpanzees’ society.B. Varying handclasps exist among chimpanzees.C. Chimpanzees are born with the ability to groom.D. Chimpanzees’ society is too complex to understand.45. What is the best title for the text?A. How chimpanzees greet each otherB. Why chimpanzees gloom each otherC. Chimpanzees have their own cultural traditionsD. Chimpanzees create social traditions with handclaspsEMichelangelo Buonarroti, the greatest of the Italian Renaissance (文艺复兴) artists, was born in the small village of Caprese in 1475. As the son of a government administrator, he grew up in Florence, a center of the early Renaissance movement, and became an artist’s apprentice (学徒) at age 13. Showing obvious talent, he was taken under the wing of Lorenzo de’ Medici, the ruler of the Florentine Republic and a great supporter of the arts. After showing his mastery of sculpture in such works as the Pieta(1498) and David(1504), he was called to Rome in 1508 to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel — the chief holy space in the Vatican.Michelangelo’s epic ceiling frescoes (壁画), which took several years to complete, are among his most memorable works. The most famous of these is The Creation of Adam, a painting in which the arms of God and Adam are stretching toward each other. In 1512, Michelangelo completed the work. The Creation of Adam is generally thought to describe the excerpt(节录) “God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him” in the Bible.After 15 years as an architect in Florence, Michelangelo returned to Rome in 1534, where he would work and live for the rest of his life. That year saw his painting of The Last Judgment on the wall above the altar (圣坛) in the Sistine Chapel for Pope Paul ｢ó. The work is massive and spans the entire wall behind the altar of the Sistine Chapel. It is a description of the Second Coming of Christ and the final and eternal judgment by God of all humanity.Michelangelo worked until his death in 1564. In addition to his major artistic works, he produced numerous other sculptures, frescoes, architectural designs, and drawings, many of which are unfinished and some of which are lost. In his lifetime, he was celebrated as Europe’s greatest living artist, and today he is held up as one of the greatest artists of all time, as admired in the visual arts as William Shakespeare is in literature or Ludwig van Beethoven is in music.46. From the first paragraph we know that Michelangelo .A. was born in an artist’s familyB. showed no interest in arts as a boyC. was an apprentice of Lorenzo de’ MediciD. had won reputation before going to Rome47. Which of the following is true about The Creation of Adam?A. It was one of his most memorable sculptures.B. It was finished in his twenties.C. It was based on the Bible.D.
