Many proverbs have been passed down from generation to generation such as “polite behavior costs nothing” or “showing respect each other” and so on. For instance, there is an interesting short story. Once upon a time, a man went on a long tour to visit his friend with a swan as a gift. But it escaped from the cage on the way. Though he tried hard, he got hold of nothing but a feather. Instead of returning home, he continued his journey with the swan feather. When his friend received this unexpected gift, he was deeply moved. And the saying “The gift is nothing much, but its the thought that counts.” was spread far and wide.Chinese used to cup one hand in the other before the chest as a greeting. This tradition has a history of more than 2, 000 years and nowadays it is seldom used except in the Spring Festival. And shaking hands is more popular. Bowing, as to show respect to the higher level, is often used by the lower like subordinates(下级), students, and attendants. But at present Chinese youngsters prefer to simply nod as a greeting. When you start a talk with a stranger, the topics such as weather, food, or hobbies may be good choices to break the ice. For a man, a chat about sports, stock market or his job can usually go on smoothly. Similar to Western customs, you should be careful to ask a woman private questions. However, relaxing talks about her job or family life will never put you into danger. Though Chinese are said to be implicit(含蓄的), they are actually humorous enough to be pleased about the jokes of Americans.24. Whats the purpose of telling a story about sending a swan feather? A. To make you pleased. B. To tell us that many proverbs have been passed down in China. C. To introduce the next paragraph. D. To give us an example about Chinese interesting story.25. What does the underlined word “counts” mean in the first paragraph? _. A. Figures out. B. es to. C. Means a lot. D. Calculates. 26. In Paragraph 2, the author mainly wants to introduce _. A. the Chinese body language B. the way the lower show respect to the higher C. the traditional Chinese manners D. the development of Chinese manners27. The passage is mainly about _. A. Chinese proverbs B. Chinese humor C. Chinese manners D. Chinese body languages CHaving a medical skill can sometimes save a persons life. For instance, CPR is a life-saving technique. You press on the sick persons chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen, the brain is damaged quickly. This is called CPR.It was a coldNovemberday in a high school, Texas. The girls on the baseball team were waiting for their next turns during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Jenny shivered (发抖)a little as she watched her teammate Max play. The two didnt know each other well-Jenny had just moved to town a month or so before.Suddenly, Max fell to the ground. “Maxs eyes rolled back,”Jenny says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”It certainly was. Max had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Max would die. At first, no one moved. The girls were in shock .Then the softball coach shouted out , “Does anyone know CPR？”Fortunately, Jenny had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didnt think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Jenny ran to Max and began doing CPR. “It was terrible. I knew it was the difference between life and death,” says Jenny.Jennys quick action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought an electronic device(器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Maxs heartbeat returned.“I know I was really lucky,” Max says now. “Most people dont survive this. My team saved my life”Experts say Max is right: For a sudden heart failure, the survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.Today, Max is back on the baseball team. Jenny will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,” Jenny says. “I know I can act well under pressure in such a situation.”28.

DWhen her five daughters were young. Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity（团结）. To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up. Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didnt have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Dannys mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However. Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard. Eventually（最终）the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elizabeth explains. “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.” Their expanding business became a large corporation（企业） in 1996, with three generations of An working together. Now the An corporation makes more than 20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.32. Helene tied several chopsticks together to show .Athe difficulty of growing up Bthe strength of family unity Cthe advantage of chopsticks Dthe best way of giving a lesson33. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the An family .Astarted a business in 1975 Bbought a restaurant in San FranciscoCleft Vietnam without much money Dopened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles34. What can we infer about the An daughters?AThey were influenced by what Helene taught them BThey could not bear to work in the family businessCThey did not finish their college educationDThey were troubled by disagreement among family members35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?AHow to Run a Corporation BStrength es from PeaceCFamily Unity Builds Success DHow to Achieve a Big Dream 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。 (将选项涂在答题卡相应的71-75题） How to keep a travel journalAre you looking for fresh travel journal writing ideas? Read on these tips to get some ideas for creating a journal you will cherish.Just do it. A travel journal is not scholarly (学文精深的). 36 There are no rules, and no one is grading what you are write. The best way to get going is to get started.Pay attention. Your journal doesnt have to only be about where you go each day. 37 Did you meet someone new? Where and when? What did you talk about? Recording observations will make your travel journal colorful.Try to write something every day. Make a habit of writing something every day or at least every other day. 38 If you let more time pass, it can be different to remember what you did three or four days ago, especially the brief impressions of those experiences. Your journal will be richer if you keep up with it. 39 If writing paragraphs doesnt fit either you or your trip, try something else. You can make lists, such as your favorite restaurants for dinner or the best places to watch the sunset. Try sketching(素描)too and dont be discouraged if you are not sure as an artist. Sometimes sketching is really the best way to record an experience that would be lost when described with text.
