dance party is held about twice a year in high schools in the united states. when the final football game is over for the season there is a homecoming party. sometimes, students select a king from among the football players, and a queen from among the girls. every student can attend and have fun with the help of their teachers. sometimes, students, called bookworms, to the surprise of the other students, come to the party in a beautiful dress. the most exciting party that students can go to would have to be a dance party. students attend it in dresses similar to those of hollywood stars and the atmosphere is comparable to an oscar award party. since such a party is for seniors, students usually stay up the night trying to enjoy their last year in high school. in american schools, instead of the teachers going to different rooms, students have their own class schedules (课程表) and go to different classrooms. when a student is away from school, they must have an explanation for being away along with the signature(签名) of a parent. the signed paper is then handed in to the school office. high school drop outs and students being expelled (除名) are not that uncommon in the states. high absences without excuses are one of the reasons why students are expelled from school. american students also enjoy a number of activities out of school like cheerleading (拉拉队), student government and a host of different sports.21. whose presence at the homecoming party can make others amazed? a. the king and the queen acted by students. b. the laziest student in study. c. the teacher who offers advice. d. students who study hardest.22. why do students hold the dance party till the next morning? a. because they would like to dance and sang madly. b. because this is the only chance that they get dressed like film stars. c. because students make it as exciting as an awarding party of oscar. d. because this perhaps is the last chance that they can enjoy their school life.23. according to the passage, american students in school _. a. study in the same classroom b. have the same class with each other c. attend different classes in different places d. wait for their teachers in their class 24. what is this passage mainly about? a. the organizing of dance parties. b. homecoming party. c. how to ask for a leave. d. school life in america. bi went over my grandmothers house today and she didnt have time for me. you see, the ladys husband downstairs died and my grandmother wanted to make some cookies for her. my grandmother did not analyze (分析) how the lady treated her, or if the lady needed any cookies, or even if the lady would like the cookies. she didnt think how much the lady has done for her. she simply began baking. my grandmother turned 94 last week and this i believe is her secret to life. my grandmother is generous (慷慨) and hard-working in a way that is rare for our time. she lives by a simple belief: if someone needs your help, you help. never mind all the analyzing and thinking whether the person deserves (值得) or appreciates (感激) the help. my grandmother doesnt sit around thinking about who might be making use of her: she simply does what is needed. at 94, she is busy in life. she is making a blanket for a new great grandchild, and worried that i dont have enough kitchen towels for my home. she is bringing soup to a sick neighbor, and teaching the new wife of her cousin (who is 88) how to cook italian food. my grandmother had every right to give up, but she didnt and amazingly life did bring her good things, like a husband with twinkling blue eyes who was much ahead of his time and believed that men should do an equal amount of cooking and cleaning in the home, three beautiful children (my father and two aunts), 22 grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. my grandmother is not afraid to give someone she barely knows a bowl of soup. she never keeps herself out of the world. 25. the reason why my grandmother made cookies for the lady downstairs is that _. a. she thought the lady was too busy b. she would make them as thanks to her c. she thought she should do something for the lady at the special time d. they had had an agreement before26. in the writers opinion, _. a. my grandmother has a secret way of living b. my grandmother does everything on careful consideration c. few people are as generous as my grandmother now d. my grandmother will get something in return27. which of the following is not true according to the passage? a. my grandmother cares for her children even some strangers. b. my grandfather does not treat women in an unfair way. c. this is a family in which there are nearly 30 people now. d. my grandmother never keeps everything for herself.28. we may infer from the text that the writer _. a. thinks his grandmother is living a tired life b. thinks his grandmother is doing what she should do c. thinks his grandmother should not be so kind d. is proud of his grandmotherc meeting people from another culture can be difficult. from the beginning, people may send the wrong signals(信号). or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship. different cultures emphasize(强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. for example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. in many european countrieslike the uk or francepeople find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office. talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. i once made a speech in thailand. i had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. the people present just stared at me and smiled. after getting to know their ways better, i realized that they thought i was talking too much. in my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary. even within northern europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. certainly, english and german cultures share similar values; germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. we think that they are rude. in fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly. people from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. however, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other,29. in some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _.a. develop closer relations b. share the same culturec. get to know each other d. keep each other company30. the author mentions his experience in thailand to show that_.a. the english prefer to make long speechesb. too many words are of no usec. people from thailand are quiet and shy by named. even talk and silence can be culturally different31. according to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?a. by sharing different ways of life b. by accepting different habitsc. by recognizing different values d. by speaking each others languages32. what would be the best title for the text?a. multicultural environment b. cross-cultural differencesc. how to understand each other d. how to build up a relationshipdwhen he wrote the adventures of tom sawyer and the adventures of huckleberry finn, mark twain turned to hannibal. the relationship between hannibal and twain began in november 1839, when twains father decided to leave the village in florida and move east about 35 miles to the somewhat larger and more prosperous hannibal, on the banks of the mississippi river. twain marked his fourth birthday about a week after the family settled there. he showed little promise of becoming a long-term resident. however, because his health was so poor that his parents probably feared he would not survive childhood. during the familys first few years in hannibal, twain was too young to understand fully the changes going on around him. about the time the family moved into their new home. twains health improved a lot. instead of having to lead a quiet indoor life, he could roam the streets of hannibal. climb the surrounding hills, explore the areas caves and splash about in local swimming holes. he reveled in his newfound freedom, spending nearly all his free time playing outdoors with the other boys in town and soon becoming a leader. twains carefree days did not last long, on march 24, 1847, his father died. for the next six years, his brother henry, and his sister pamela lived with their mother in the family home. twain began taking odd jobs after school to bring in extra money. within a year of his fathers death, he quit school and became an apprentice (学徒) printer, and when his brother orion bought the hannibal journal in 1851, twain went to work for him as a printer and editorial assistant. the stories he wrote for orions paper, his first publications, taught him that he much preferred writing to typesetting. thus, when he decided to leave hannibal in may 1853, he already had an idea of his future career. 33. why did little mark twain move and live in hannibal?a. because he wanted to live in a larger and more prosperous city.b. because his father brought him there.c. because he wanted to wrote his novels there.d. because he wanted to become a long-term resident of hannibal.34. when did mark twain become healthy?a. as soon as he arrived in hannibal.b. at the time when his family moved into their old home.c. after his father died.d. at the time when his family moved into their new home.35. the last paragraph mainly tells us _.a. the happy childhood of mark twainb. how mark twain became a famous writerc. how mark twain to earn money to support his family d. why mark decided to leave hannibal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。
