Is that you?” The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar. “Marci?” I asked.“ It is you!” she cried out, smiling broadly. “Gosh, its good to see you again, my dear friend!”It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past few decades, Ive wondered about her. I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rocky for Marci. So meeting her at the baseball game was really out of expectation.We spent a few minutes talking about our lives the good old, bad old days. Then Marci grew quiet for a moment. “You know, Joe,” she said, “Ive always wanted to tell you . how . how sorry for the way I treated you. You must have been hurt both physically and mentally.” I was a little embarrassed. I turned and looked at her. “Its OK,” I said, “No big deal!” “But I was such a jerk,” she continued. Yes, you were, I thought. “We were both pretty young,” I smiled. “I know, she said, “Its just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you. And Ive wanted to tell you that Im sorry.”The expression on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes it looked a lot like relief. “OK,” I said, “Apology accepted!” Overe by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around her and gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to the day whenever I think about it.It isnt enough to just say “Im sorry” and “youre forgotten”. But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to the miracles of the heart.

Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals e from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic pounds, VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. Its a plants way of crying out. But is anyone listening？Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbours react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now bees lunch.In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists dont know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasnt a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. Theres a whole lot going on.32. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It sends out certain chemicals. B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietly. D. It makes noises.33. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?A. The perfumes attract natural enemies.B. The insects gather under the table.C. The plants get ready to fight back.D. The attackers get attacked.34. Scientists find from their studies that plants can .A. predict natural disastersB. talk to one another intentionallyC. protect themselves against insects D. help their neighbors when necessary35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The word is changing faster than ever.B. People have stronger senses than before.C. The world is more plex than it seems.D. People in Darwins time were imaginative.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共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。Every culture has its own unwritten list of behavior that is acceptable. Every society also has its taboos, or types of behavior that are considered a violation of good manners.The wordtabooes from the Tongan language and is used in modern English to describe verbal and nonverbal behavior that is forbidden or to be avoided.36They tend to be specific to a culture or country, and usually form around a groups values and beliefs. What is considered acceptable behavior in one country may be a serious taboo in another.Verbal taboos usually involve topics that people believe are too private to talk about publicly, or relate to ones manner of speaking. In many cultures, for example, it is considered bad manners to discuss subjects such as sex or religion in public. In some countries, the volume of ones voice may annoy people.37 38For example, one of the biggest differences among many Western, Asian, and African cultures is the use of eye contact. In the US, people make eye contact when they talk to others.39 In many Asian and African cultures, however, children are taught to lower their eyes when talking to their elders, or those of higher rank, as a way to show respect.Certain gestures made with the hands can have very different meanings depending on the country you are in. Crossing your middle finger over your forefinger is the sign for good luck in many western countries.40Also, in some Asian countries, moving your hands a lot while talking, or talking with your hands, is considered unsuitable.Behavior that is acceptable and non-offensive in one culture can be highly offensive in another. When visiting a foreign country, be aware of some of the basic differences, as this will help to ensure a more enjoyable trip.AIf a person avoids eye contact, others might think they are being dishonest or unconfident.BCancer is a taboo subject and people are frightened to talk openly about it.CIn Vietnam and Argentina, however, it is a rude gesture.DNonverbal taboos usually relate to body language.ELearn a countrys customs so that you dont hurt the local people unconsciously.FThey might think that someone who is speaking or laughing loudly is rude or aggressive.GIn spite of what some people may think, taboos are not universal.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。As a kid of a military family, I moved a lot.
