the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. so it is with the telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. if someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think that its a matter of life and death. the time chosen for the call communicates its importance.in social life, time plays a very important part. in the usa guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party reaches them only three or four days before the party date. but it is not true in all countries. in other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. the meaning of time is not the same in different cultures that treat time differently; being on time is valued highly in american life, for example. if people are not on time, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. in the usa no one would think of keeping a business friend for an hour; it would be too impolite. a person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a shout apology. it he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.36a call at midnight would mean_.a. the matter is less importantb. the matter is too difficult to handlec. the matter requires immediate attentiond. it is a matter of life and death37according to the passage, time plays a very important part in_.a. everyday life b. private lifec. getting along with others d. business38in the passage, the author suggests that invitation cards should be sent_.a. three or four days before the party date in all culturesb. three or four days before the party date in some culturesc. three or four days before the party date in the usad. at your chosen time babout ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!there are different forms of color blindness. in some cases a man can not see deep red. he may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. in rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green - a strange world indeed.color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. in a single eye there are millions of very small things called“cones”. these help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. there are also millions of“rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. they show us shape but no color.some insects have favorite colors. mosquitoes (蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. in a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. yet we are lucky. with the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. one day we may even learn more about the invisible (看不见的) colors around.39why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?awomen are more careful.bthere are few color-blind women.cwomen are fonder of driving than men.dwomen are weaker but quicker in thinking40. this passage is mainly about _.acolor and its surprising effectsbwomen being luckier than mencdanger caused by color blindnessdcolor blindness41according to the passage, with the help of the“cones”， we can _.atell orange from yellow bsee in weak lightckill mosquitoesdtell different shapes42we can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _. ared light byellow light cblue light dgreen light c before the print was brought to england in 1476, everything was written by hand. the few people who knew how to write were trained in schools set up by the church. those who made a living by writing for other people were called scribes(抄写员)。 the work of scribes was not easy. much of it had to be done fast in order to meet the needs of the king. the church and traders. most of the writing was in latin(拉丁) ,but some of it was in the english of the day. and no one was quite sure how some english words should be spelled. one problem was that several letters were written with short vertical strok（竖笔）that all looked like each other. among them were the letters , i, u, v, m and n, thus .five straight lines in a row might stand for uni nui uvi or mii. as a result .reading was sometimes difficult, especially when the writing was done in a hurry. the scribes solved(解决)the problem in part, by changing the letter u to o when it came before m. n or v. this is how sum and cum came lo be written as some and come.43. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. everything has been written by hand in english since 1476. b. more than 500 years ago no people made a living by writing for other people. c. the church set up schools to train scribes before 1476. d. scribes in england worked only for kings and traders. 44. sometimes people couldnt read easily_. a. because there were too many us and vs in sonic english wordsb. because most of the writing was in latinc. when the writing was in englishd. when tile writing was done hurriedly45. the scribes changed u before m to o becausea. the change helped them write fasterb. the change made reading easierc. um and om had the same pronunciation d. om was the right order四根据短文内容，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。（每空2分，共10分）doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. they warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. 46 some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. others burst with anger, and scream and yell. but other people keep their anger inside. they can not or will not express it. this is called repressing anger.for years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. they said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). they speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. 47 some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. they believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. 48 they say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. if it is, they say, “ 49 wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. 50 a. in general the person feels excited and ready to actb. they said that laughter is much healthier than anger.c. expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing itd. anger may cause you a cancer.e. do not express your anger while angry.f. anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.g. doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. 五语法填空（每空1分，共10分）exercise is good for you, but most people really know very little

got to.可知，在这么晚的时候还不得不留下来为客人服务，作者感到自己很“不幸(unlucky)”。18d根据后面的sent.back twice和when it eventually arrived to his liking判断，这位绅士对饭菜“不满意(dissatisfied)”。19a这位先生把他“定的饭菜(order)”退回来两次。20c当一切都合他的意，他又要了新鲜咖啡。21c这个时候经理和厨师都紧“盯(watching)”作者，因为他们希望这位顾客尽快吃完离开。22a此处是指那一“天(day)”饭店的最后一位顾客。23b最后一位顾客离开后他们就可以“关门(close up)”回家了。24c根据顾客用餐的费用和最后一段提示可知，作者判断这位绅士不会付很多的小费。tip此处用做动词，指“付小费”。25d“然而(however)”，作者还是尽最大努力给他提供好的服务。26c在给这位绅士添咖啡的时候，不知怎么的，作者把咖啡“洒到(spilled)”了盘子和桌子上。27d28a此时已经太晚了，作者虽然道歉了，但“无法(unable)”给这位绅士换一盘食物，因为“厨房(kitchen)”里一切设施都已关了。29b根据这位绅士先前的性情，作者在洒了咖啡后对他可能的反应有一定的“预料(expectation)”。30d但是这个时候这位绅士的做法“确实(really)”让作者感到意外。31d对于作者洒了咖啡这件事，这位绅士并没有向经理“抱怨(complaining)”。32b相反，他向经理建议，作者表现得很好，经理应该尽可能长期地让作者在这里工作。keep somebody around让某人在附近，在此处表示让作者能够长期在饭店工作。33c第二天作者上班，去“取(picked up)”她的小费。34b“如果(if)”顾客是用信用卡付账，所给的小费等到第二天才能拿到。35c作者被“告知(told)”，那位绅士为8美元的饭付了
