My tsunami came when I was nine years old.I was woken up by my mothers screams - “Bob? Bob?! BOB! ” I ran to my parents bedroom. My father was on all fours, unconscious.

Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different culturesemphasizethe 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 lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafe 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, but people 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 environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.28.Insomecountries,eatingtogetheratrestaurantsmaymake it easlerforpeopleto_A. gettoknoweachotherB. sharethesamecultureC. keepeachothercompanyD. developcloserrelations29.TheauthormentionshisexperienceinThailandtoshow that_A. theEnglishprefertomakelongspeechesB. toomanywordsareofnousC. eventalkandsilencecanbeculturallydifferentD. peoplefromThailandarequietandshybynature30.Accordingtothetext,howcanpeoplefromdifferentculturesunderstandeachotherbetter?A.ByrecognizingdifferentvaluesB.BysharingdifferentwaysoflifeC.ByacceptingdifferenthabitsD.Bspeakingeachotherslanguage31.

Scientists already modify the genes of farm animals and agricultural plants to makethem more productive or stronger. But now they can also change genes in wild animals and plants. These genes would continue into later generations. For example, it may be possible for scientists to remove from existence the kind of mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus. Theymight also be able to permanently remove species of plants and animals that are destructive toother species.In a report published last week, the U.S.National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NAS) said it supports continued research on this kind of gene control. But it warned that it is not possible to know what will happen when these changed plants and animals are released into the wild.Sixteen biologists, ethicists(伦理学家) and policymakers are on an NAS committee that is examining the issue. They say that there is value to the new technology. But, they say, there is not enough evidence to support the release of modified organisms (生物体) from the laboratory into nature.Many people would support stopping mosquitoes and rats from carrying diseases. But scientists say we must understand the possible scientific, ethical, legal and social results of such action before we decide whether to take it. Gene modification is spread through reproduction(繁殖).Changed genes will continue to spread as long as an animal or plant continues to reproduce. They cannot be limited to a farm or kept within a countrys borders. Scientists are wondering what may happen if a modified organism mates with another species. They are not yet sure how the modified genes would affect the other species. It is possible that those genes could harm those creatures or even lead to their disappearance from our planet.32. What possible advantage does gene control in wild animals and plants have?A. Changing the Zika virus permanently.B. Removing the destructive species for ever.C. Having changed genes in their next generations.D. Making all the species more productive and stronger.33. As for genetically changed wild animals and plants ,what are scientists worried about?A. They may become weaker or die out.B. They may be more productive.C. They may cause damage to their living habitat.D. Their genes may spread to later generations.34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Scientists are not sure what exact results gene modification leads to.B. Scientists wont modify any genes before they make the final decision.C. Gene modification has benefited some farm animals and agricultural plants.D. Scientists have not applied gene modification to wild animals and plants in case of possible danger.35. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Stop research on gene controlB. How to change genetic structureC. Power and danger of gene controlD.Advantages of gene control in wild animals and plants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。Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends.
