One who can work on Sundays.B I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?” Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there dont have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.” In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.” People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “its about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They dont know. Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A new Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I dont know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I dont know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!24 When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually _.A. describe the place carefully B. show him a map of the placeC. tell him the names of the streets D. refer to recognizable buildings and places25 What is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York.B. Kansas.C. Los Angeles.D. Iowa.26 People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer _.A. in order to save timeB. so as to be politeC. to cause offenceD. for fun27 What can we infer from the text?A. Its important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B. Its useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C. People have similar understandings of politeness.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.C For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale. As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusics. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation(隔离). “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesnt involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just cant see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, No thanks, Im amusic,” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”28 Which of the following is true of amusics?A. Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.B. They love places where they are likely to hear music.C. They can easily tell two different songs apart.D. Their situation is well understood by musicians.29 According to paragraph 3, a person with “ defective hearing” is probably one who _.A. dislikes listening to speeches B. can hear anything nonmusicalC. has a hearing problem D. lacks a complex hearing system30 In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that _.A. her problem with music had been diagnosed earlierB. she were seventeen years old rather than seventyC. her problem could be easily explainedD. she were able to meet other amusics31 What is the passage mainly concerned with?A. Amusics strange behaviours. B. Some peoples inability to enjoy music.C. Musical talent and brain structure. D. Identification and treatment of amusics.DSeveral recent studies have suggested that women experience laughter more than men. According to medical experts, laughter isnt just about having fun - it actually has many health benefits. Studies have shown that the act of laughing can lower blood pressure, reduce stress and improve immune function(免疫功能). Not only that, but laughter can also provide benefits similar to that of an anti-depressant. When you laugh, your body releases endorphins(内啡肽)which results in a general feeling of health and well-being. Regular laughter can play a role in helping you to avoid many health problems. Thus, not only do women tend to laugh more than men, they are also more likely to have the last laugh.According to a study conducted at theStanford Universityof Medicine, gender(性别)can affect the way that a persons brain responds to humor. The study, which involved the monitoring of 10 men and 10 women watching cartoons, shows that women are more likely than their male peers to use the part of the brain that processes rewards. It seemed that women had lower expectations in regard to a reward (in this case, the reward being the punch-line of the joke or cartoon), which resulted in them enjoying the experience more than the men. Men, on the other hand, seemed to expect that they would find the cartoons humorous, and were therefore more likely to be disappointed and find them less amusing.Women are more likely to respond to men whom they find humorous and men seem to recognize this and do their best to make women laugh. It has been shown that women are more likely to laugh in the presence of men whom they have an attraction towards and men are more likely to be attracted to women who laugh in their presence because it makes them feel more desirable. Obviously, it is more important to men that a woman appreciates their humor.32 The studies show that regular laughter can _A. raise blood pressureB. keep us nervousC. make immune function worseD. keep us healthy and happy.33 Why do women experience laughter more than men?A. Because they like telling humorous stories B. Because they like watching cartoons.C. Because they expect little of a reward. D. Because they seldom respond to humor.34 From the last paragraph we can infer A. women dislike humorous men. B. men dislike humorous womenC. laughter makes women humorous D. humorous men make women happy.35 Whats the main idea of the passage ?A. Women enjoy humor more than men B. Laughter has many health benefitsC. Women laugh more than men D. Humorous men are popular with women第二节（共5小题，每小题2分,共10.0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。选项中有俩项为多余选项。How to Love Your Parents ?Even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life.

The WHO has stated that of the 56.5 million(62)(die) per year around the world, over 50 percent of these are caused by diseases(63)(close) associated with unhealthy diet and lack of exercise and(64)many of these deaths could be Prevented.
