Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos(禁忌) in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children. You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be interesting and they can cover pretty much or any topic as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent manner.In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious business relationship theyre trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.As general rule, its best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. In addition, discussing ones salary is usually considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticize a national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your hosts team.41. The author considers politics and religion _.A. cheerful topicsB. taboosC. rude topics D. topics that can never be talked about42. Which is typically a friendly topic in most places according to the author?A. Sports.B. Children.C. Personal feelings. D. Families.43. Why are people from Asia more private in their conversation with others?A. They dont want to talk with others much.B. They dont want to have their good relationship with others harmed by informal conversation.C. They are afraid to argue with their colleagues.D. They want to keep their feelings to themselves.44. What shouldnt you do when talking about sports with colleagues from another country?A. Praising your own countrys sports.B. Criticizing your own countrys sports.C. Praising the sports of your colleagues country.D. Criticizing the sports of your colleagues country.BHow long has 3-D technology been around? Most of us might think of crowds of teenagers in a 1950s movie house watching Bwana Devil in 3-D technology made its first appearance on the scene in1838 with the first stereoscope. And the first actual 3-D movie was a 1903 film called Le Arivee dun Train.Although it has such a long history, the technology has still remained based on one simple principleto make 3-D effects you must find a way to project two slightly different pictures to each eye. Modern 3-D technology works by rapidly flickering(闪动) two versions of the movie and projecting them onto each eye. The brain does the rest of the work, combining the two pictures together into one and giving the show the appearance of depth, the third dimension.But does this exposure, especially long exposures, cause harm to the childs developing brain and visual（视觉的）system? Unfortunately, long-term studies on new flicker digital 3-D technology and children arent yet available. We do not know if regular or daily 3-D viewing over years affects the developing visual system, although older 3-D methods basically do the same thing and are not considered harmful.The question of possible harm in modern 3-D use in TV is really based on two facts: the amount of time children will now be watching 3-D TV each day and sensitivity some children show in reaction to 3-D viewing. It is difficult to make actual lab studies of longer term 3-D viewing in children because of the possible harm of the experiment. Researchers will have to wait until 3-DTV technology is already in the marketplace for a number of years, then check heavy 3-D TV watchers and compare them with non-watchers.With a 3-D television technology in the home, we will soon be able to answer the question of whether or not longer and more frequent periods of 3-D exposure cause more changes in the visual system. We may find that the bigger problem is the introduction of a new technology that lead to even more time spent on TV rather than playing outdoors.45. According to the text, 3-D technology _.A. was refused by people when it first appearedB. will soon change the way we watch TVC. does no good to our visual systemD. has a history of almost 200 years46. As for the influence of 3-D movies on children health, the author might be _.A. positiveB. worriedC. uncertainD. uninterested47. The authors purpose in writing the text is to _.A. ask children not to watch 3-D movies.B. discuss if 3-D viewing is harmful to childrenC. introduce the advantages of 3-D technologyD. predict the development of 3-D technologyCMy house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software.If you come to visit, youll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When its dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest to you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console(控制器), a small machine that turns things on and off around you. The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to movies, you need a ticket. If I give you car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that Ive put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better that the ones Ive put in today.I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them?”48. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to develop a new system. B. The function of the PIN.C. A home for the future.D. Easy life in the future.49. This PIN tells the house _.A. what you needB. who and where you areC. where the lights nearest you areD. how you wear clothes50. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?A. An IT expect.B. A famous doctor.C. An idealist.D. An experienced teacher.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。State schools are different from private schools, in terms of their funding and administration. State schools receive most of their funds from the government while private schools rely on private sources, such as donations and organizations for their funding. _51 _ Lets look at some of the facts about educational problems in state schools.The first educational problem of state schools is the larger school size and student population. _52 _ This may be due to the free education offered in state schools. No matter what the reason is, students of state schools receive less individual attention, as compared to private school students.Since state school education is free, the curricula (课程) and programs may not be as good as those of private schools. Usually, they offer the same programs and standardized tests for all the students. _53 _ On the other hand, private schools offer various curricula and have their own assessment (评价) system.In state schools, all the students get admission, not considering the students talent. _54_ Sometimes, this may result in a slow learning pace for the talented students. On the other hand, private schools can reject a student who is not up to the mark. Therefore, many a time, private schools perform better in standardized achievement tests.In spite of these problems in state schools, a study has shown that students from state schools get better grades in college than those from private schools._55 _A. There are certain advantages of state school education.B. They cannot deny any student who has applied for admission.C. On average, most state schools are twice the size of private schools.D. Another educational problem of state schools is higher rates of violence.E. In short, what the students learn in state schools is decided by the state.F. State schools have some educational problems compared to private schools.G. So one can choose a school which will best meet his interests and abilities.第II卷 （非选择题，共四部分，满分60分）第一部分 单词拼写与词组填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）第一节 单词拼写(根据所给首字母或中文提示，用正确的单词形式填空，使句意完整)。56.
