This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey. It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels.In fact, the room was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace of Frederick I. However, the next King of Prussia, Frederick William I, to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czar s winter palace in St Petersburg. About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors.Later, Catherine had the Amber Room moved to a palace where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it. In 1770 the room was pleted the way she wanted. Sadly, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world,it is now missing.In September 1941 , the Nazi army was near St Petersburg. Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace, the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room. However, some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself. In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes. There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea. After that,what happened to the Amber Room remain a mystery.23. What did Frederick William I get when he sent the Amber Room to Peter the Great?A. A box of treasure. B. A team of soldiers.C.A piece of open land. D.A great palace.25. Who used the Amber Room as a small reception hall?A. Frederick I B. Frederick William I C. Peter the Great D. Catherine 26. What do we know about the Amber Room?A. Tons of yellow-brown honey were used to make it.B. The Amber Room was found at the summer palace.C. More details were added to the Amber Room by Catherine .D. 27 wooden boxes inside the room were stolen by the Nazis.27. What is the text mainly about?A. The search for the lost Amber Room. B. The history of the Amber Room.C. The use of the Amber Room. D. The history of Russia.CAmerica is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society (社会) in many ways education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the aging of America has made us a very different society one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages. A persons age no longer tells you anything about his/ her social position (职位、地位), marriage or health. Theres no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isnt as strong as it used to be. It doesnt surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 70-year-old man who has bee a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing. Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.” No one says “Act your age”any more. Weve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways. 28. It can be learned from the text that the aging of the population in America _.A. has changed peoples understanding of ageB. has made people feel youngerC. has changed peoples social positionD. has slowed down the countrys social development29. The underlined word one in the first paragraph refers to_.A. a place B. America C. a society D. population30. “Act your age ” in the last paragraph means people should _.A. do the right thing at the right age B. be active when they are old C. show respect for their parents young or the old D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age31. If a 20-year-old man bees general manager of a big pany, the writer of the text would most probably consider it _.A. wonderful B. normal C. unbelievable D. unreasonableDThe meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely unfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙)with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a persons needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of municating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they e across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patients silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.32. What does the author say about silence in conversations？A. It implies anger. B.It is culture-specific.C. It promotes friendship. D. It is content-based.33. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought？A. The Russians. B. The French. C. The Mexicans. D. The Chinese.34. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence？A. Make use of its healing effects. B. Break it while treating patients.C. Evaluate its harm to patients. D. Let it continue as the patient pleases. 35. What may be the best title for the text？A. Sound and Silence B.Silence to Native Americans C. What It Means to Be Silent D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold第2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。Easy Ways to Happier livingTake care of your body.Our body and mind are connected. 36 It instantly improves our mood and can even lift us out of depression.
