going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky at a quiet place like the inverlochy castle. when queen victoria visited the castle in 1873 she wrote in her diary, “i never saw a lovelier spot ,” and she didnt even go fishing.scotland is not easily defined. in certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes. when evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light ,the rivers, teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold . as you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of river orchy, near the inverlochy castle , any frustration will float away as gently as the circling water. its just you and purple , pink ,white flowers, seeking a perfect harmony . if you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics form a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetimes fun. for many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long days fishing. set aganist a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland , the beautiful inverlochy castle hotel below the nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of scotlands mountains . ben nevis is the highest of all british mountains , and reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge . but its not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique . more than 900 metres high, on the mountains north face, lies an all-important source of pure water. its name comes form the gaelic language “usqueb”or “water of life”; and it is the single most important ingredient in scotlands best know drink:whisky.49.the story of queen victoria is to show that _.a. the queen is rich in tour experience b. the castle is a good place to go in scotlandc. tasting whisky is better than going fishing d. 1873 is a special year for the queen50.how is paragraph 2 mainly developed?a. by giving descriptions. b. by following time order.c. by analyzing causes. d. by making comparisons.51.what is ben nevis special for?a. the inverlochy castle hotel. b. the beauty of its surroundings.c. the water from the mountain. d. the challenge up to its top.52.waht is the main purpose of the passage?a. to introduce scottish traditions to tourists.b. to show the attractions of scotland to readers.c. to explore geographical characteristics of scotland.d. to describe the pleasures of life in scotland c facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. for example, in american culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. yet it also has other uses. a womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. a smile may show love or politeness. it can also hide true feelings. it often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. for example, many people in russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. yet many americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). some russians believe that americans smile in the wrong places; some americans believe that russians dont smile enough. in southeast asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile. our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. the fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. for example, in public and in formal situations many japanese do not show their emotions as freely as americans do. when with friends, japanese and americans seem to show their emotions similarly. it is difficult to generalize about americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural backgrounds in the united states. people from certain cultural backgrounds in the united states seem to be more facially expressive than others. the key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. if we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.53. what does the smile usually mean in the u.s.?a. love b. politeness c. joy d. thankfulness54. the author mentions the smile of the vietnamese to prove that a smile can _.a. show friendliness to strangers b. be used to hide true feelings c. be used in the wrong places d. show personal habits55.what should we do before attempting to read people?a. learn about their relations with others b. understand their cultural backgroundsc. find out about their past experience d. figure out what they will do next56. what would be the best title for the test?a. cultural differences b. smiles and relationshipsc. facial expressiveness d. habits and emotions d the japanese economy is at a standstill，japan s government has said, as concerns about the strong yen continue to grow. the recovery in the economy was “pausing，the cabinet office said in a monthly statement.it is the most negative that the government has been about the economy in nearly two years.the rising yen and a slowdown in global demand for japanese exports were blamed for the setback.in recent months, the government has insisted that the economy is “picking up. but it said it now expected the economy to remain weak for some time, with “weakening exports being a chief concern. it said shipments to asia in particular were becoming weaker, further hitting exporters that are already suffering from the strong yen.the yen remains near a 15 - year high against the us dollar, despite the financial interference (干预)in the currency markets last month for the first time in six years.japanese prime minister naoto kan has also passed a $ 63 billion stimulus(剌激)package in an effort to protect exporters who have seen the poor exchange rate eat into their profits. at the close of markets in tokyo，the yen was trading at 81.44 yen to the dollar, just off thehigh of 81.27 yen.if the economy turns out as expected, we may end up describing the current situation as a soft patch，” one of die government officials said , “ but if it comes under further downward pressure, it could end up slipping into recession(衰退).”57.the japanese government think the current bad economy situation is partly due to_ .athe decline of the b yen bthe unsatisfactory exportscthe government s mistaken policydthe decline in the quality of goods58.in recent months, the government has a(n)_ attitude towards the economy situation.ashocking bnegative coptimistic daggressive59.from the passage we know the government has taken measures mainly to _ .aprotect the foreign markets bprotect profits of its exporterscmonitor the yen exchange rate dstimulate domestic demands60.the passage could probably be

does not recognize any culture. it goes into the soul of the music lovers, wherever they are in the world or ev
