different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience. the following are six cultural differences between china and the us to help promote mutual understanding._chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as americans do. they talk about topics such as ages, income or marital status, which americans think is annoying and disturbing.family in china, elders are traditionally treated with great respect while the young are cared for. in america, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children. unlike the chinese, older americans seldom live with their children.friendschinese people have different meanings to define friends. just hanging out together time to time is not friendship. friendship means lifelong friends who feel it deeply necessary to give each other whatever help might seem required. americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. there are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.moneyas is well known, the chinese like to save. they are always conservative when they are planning to spend money. it is different in the us, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education than their chinese counterparts（对应面）educationchinese people value education and career more than americans, who in turn put more emphasis on good character and faith.team vs individualbasically china values the community and the us values the individual. if you achieve something in the us, its because you are great. while in china, if you achieve something its because the team, or family, or company is great. everything you do gets attributed to the greater whole, while in america individual merits （功绩）are celebrated.21. which is the most appropriate word to show the first cultural difference ?a. privacy b. income c. age d. marriage22. which is true according to the passage?a. american parents seldom live with their children.b. there is no friendship between american people drinking together.c. chinese people are usually generous with money to spend.d. americans value good character and faith in terms of education.23. which one is similar to the underlined phrase?a. is attached to b. brings in c. is promoted to d. results inb the spread of western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and the environment. these findings come from a new report in the journal nature.david tillman, a professor of ecology at the university of minnesota, america, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health. he noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. he found that as nations industrialized, population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the western diet.the western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. by eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker. david tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for non-infectious diseases like diabetes(糖尿病) and heart disease.unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in asia. china is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialized over a 20-year period. and that is happening all across the world, in nigeria and so on.and , a diet bad for human beings, is also bad for the environment. as the worlds population grows, more forests and tropical areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for cattle. we are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now. mr. tillman calls the link between diet, the environment and human health, “a dilemma”, a problem offering a difficult choice. he says one possible solution is leaving the western diet behind.24. david tillman believes that _.a. diet, the environment and human health are closely connected b. the western diet is the only choice as the nation industrializesc. people in tropical areas are more likely to have heart disease d. traditional diets are more balanced than the western diet25. according to the passage, more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future from_.a. transportation b. developing countries c. agriculture d. developed countries 26.we can infer from the passage that _.a. nigeria has the largest number of diabetes casesb. overweight people are at higher risk of infectious diseases c. the examined information comes from developing countries d. industrialization contributes to the spread of the western diet 27.the main purpose of the passage is to _.a. call on us to protect the environment b. warn us of the danger of the western dietc. remind us of the importance of health d. advise us to have a balanced diet c experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particularly good teacher. you might think that winston churchill or perhaps mark twain spoke those words, but they actually come from james march, a professor at stanford university and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. for years march (possibly the wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new book the ambiguities of experience.he begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning: experience is respected; experience is sought; experience is explained. the problem is that learning from experience involves(涉及)serious complications(复杂化),ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which march discusses in the body of this book.in one interesting part of the book, for example, he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. in our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of the complicated truth of things. he says the more accurately(精确地 ) reality is presented, the less understandable the story, and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is.besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher, march is also a poet, and his gift shines through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. though the book is short, it is demanding: dont pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.28according to the text, james march is .a. a poet who uses experience in his writingb. a teacher who teaches story writing in universityc. a researcher who studies the way humans think and actd. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions29according to james march, experience .a. is overvalued b. is easy to explainc. should be actively sought d. should be highly respected30what can we learn from paragraph 3?a. experience makes stories more accurate.b. stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.c. the use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.d. stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described.31whats the purpose of this text?a. to introduce a book. b. to describe a researcher.c. to explain experiential learning. d. to discuss organizational decision making.d some people like to listen to the beatleswhile others prefer gregorian chantswhen it comes to music , scientists find that nurture can overpower nature a study shows musical preferences seem to be mainly shaped by a persons cultural upbringing and experiences rather than biological factors“our results show that there is a profound cultural difference in the way people respond to consonant(和谐的)and dissonant(不和谐的)sounds，and this suggests that other cultures hear the world differently,” says josh mcdermotta scientist in cambridge some scientists believe that the way people respond to music has a biological basis and that this would overpower any cultural shaping of musical preferences , effectively making them a universal phenomenonsome musiciansby contrast , think that such preferences are more a product of ones cultureif a persons upbringing shapes their preferences，then they are not a universal phenomenonthe trick to working out where musical preferences come from was to find and test people who hadnt had much contact with western musicmcdermott and his team travelled by areoplane，car and canoe to reach the remote villages of the tsimane people，who are largely isolated from western culturein their experiments，mcdermott and his colleagues investigated responses to western music by playing combinations of notes to three groups of people：the tsimane and two other groups of bolivians that had experienced increasing levels of exposure to western musicthe researchers recorded whether each group regarded the notes as pleasant or unpleasant the tsimane are just as good at making acoustic(声响的)distinctions as the groups with more experience of other types of music，the scientists findmost people prefer consonant tones，but the tsimane have no preference between them“this pretty convincingly rules out that the preferences are things were born with， mcdermott argues“culture plays a rolewe like the music we grew up with，”agrees dale purves，a scientist at duke university“nature versus nurture is always a fools errandits almost always a combination，he adds32why does the author mention beatles in the first paragraph? ato arouse readers interest bto stress the importance of music cto introduce the topic to be discussed dto encourage readers to listen to their music33mcdermott would most probably agree that _ apeoples music preference is a universal phenomenon bchinese and japanese have different music preferences cthe way people respond to music is biologically decided dparents have nothing to do with childrens music preference34what do we know about the tsimane in the experiment? athey prefer consonant tones bthey are born with excellent music talent cthey do well in telling acoustic distinctions dthey have never had contact with western music35what does the underlined phrase “a fools errand” in the last paragraph refer to? asomething meaninglessbsomething significant csomething reliabledsomething sensitive第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分l0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 student has tests when they are at school. but have you ever been so worried about the tests that you cant fall asleep at night? have you ever felt sick or had a headache during a test? _36_this worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. you may feel angry, frustrated, scared, or afraid, which can give you a stomachache or a headache._37_ good or normal stress might happen when you are called to answer a question in class or when you have to give a speech. this kind of stress can help you to get things better done. _38_but bad stress can happen if the stressful feelings keep going over a long time. you may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is ill, if you are having problems at school, or if you are going through anything else that makes you upset every day. _39_40_that means making good decision about how to spend your time. if you are only dealing with school stuff and have no time to play, you can get stressed. make sure you keep your self in mind: sleep, exercise, leisure and food. if you take care of yourself and get enough sleep and food, and if you exercise and leave time for fun stuff, you will probably be less stressed out!a. however, there are two different kinds of stress.b. can you tell a kind of stress from another one?c. the best way to keep stress away is to have a balanced life.d. that kind of stress isnt going to help you, and it can actually make you sick.e. since bad stress is harmful to us, youd better try to change it into good stress.f. if so, then you know what stress is. stress is what you feel when you are worried or uncomfortable about something.g. for example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare well before the test.第三部分 英语知识运用(共二节，满分45分)第一节
