a. we can easily understand what peoples gestures mean. b. it is difficult to tell what peoples gestures really mean sometimes.c. gestures can be understood by most people but words are not. d. words can be better understood by older people.53.peoples facial expressions may be misunderstood in different cultures because _ . a. people from different cultures have different meanings about some facial expressionsb. people speaking different languages have different facial expressionsc. people of different ages may have different interpretations (解释)d. people of different sexes may understand a gesture differently54.from the passage, we can conclude(得出结论) that _ . a. words are often more difficult to understand than gesturesb. gestures can be more effectively used than words to express feelingsc. gestures can be used to express feelingsd. gestures are used as frequently as words to express feelings55.the best title for this passage can be _ . a. gestures b. feelings c. culture and understanding d. gestures and feelingsb parents have widely different views on the problem of pocket money. four new fathers were asked this question and this is how they answered. ashish khanna: although many argue that pocket money helps develop childrens sense of value, i dont agree. i wouldnt give my child any pocket money. first of all, i never got pocket money and i seem to have a good value for money. if my child ever needed something and i felt it was a reasonable (合理的) request, i would buy it for him. sharad sanghi: no, i wouldnt give my child pocket money because i dont want to create the perception (观念) of “her” money and “my” money. besides, if i refuse to buy her something that i think is bad for her, she may buy it with her pocket money on the sly. in this way, i would lose control over my childs requests. i feel it also encourages children to care more about money than anything else. i dont want my child to start judging other children by the amount of money or pocket money they have. rakesh shah: yes, i would give my child pocket money because i feel that children should learn to spend money properly. i will give him a fixed amount every month and if he spends the money before the month is over, he will learn a lesson and not spend money so freely. he will learn what his limitations (限制) are and feel the difficulty when he has to pay for something that is over his own pocket. rajiv patel: yes, i would give my child pocket money because it is important that he learns to manage money. but i would not give it to him on a weekly or monthly basis. he would have to earn it. if he helped me finish some of my jobs or helped his mother with housework, i would reward him. this helps him realize that “money does not grow on trees” and it requires hard work to earn money.56. ashish khanna may agree that _.a. he was given too much pocket money when youngb. he can take much control of his child by moneyc. he will buy anything he thinks his child really needsd. pocket money helps children develop a good value for money57. the underlined phrase “on the sly” in paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to “_”.a. for free b. at a lower pricec. happily d. secretly58. who would give his child pocket money every month?a. ashish khanna. b. sharad sanghi.c. rakesh shah. d. rajiv patel.59. what do rakesh shah and rajiv patel have in common?a. they want their children to learn to manage money from an early age.b. they ask their children to get pocket money by working.c. they teach their children the difficulty of making money.d. they allow their children to spend money freely. cnowadays, the increase in the prices of agricultural products is one of the greatest concerns of the people and the government. the government has announced a series of policies(政策) to prevent the prices from rising further. rising housing prices is still a big concern for the people, but since farm products are needed every day, the increase in their prices has made life very difficult for them.many people may think the increase will help farmers. but have higher prices of farm products really benefited the farmers? take the increase in vegetable prices in the first half of this year for example. though natural disasters such as droughts and spring frost did not cause the prices of farm products to increase greatlyin fact, prices of some products did not increase at allvegetables have become er by as much as 20 percent compared to that of last year. this means only a small part (or even none) of the extra money that city people have paid to buy farm products has gone to the farmers. the extra cost actually has gone to middlemen. as the fact shows, just increasing prices of farm products will have negative influence on the entire economy. on one hand, the price increase has created some abnormal phenomena, which hurts farmers interests. on the other hand, resources will enter the agriculture because of the high price of farm products, which would finally create negative effect on the whole economy. in such a case, it would be better to leave the market to decide the prices instead of raising farm products prices to protect the interests of farmers. actually, such a way will be better for farmers in the long run. 60. what does the author mainly want to tell us by writing the passage? a. farmers benefit a lot from the price increase. b. price increase has not helped farmers.c. we should be sorry for farmers.d. price increase has a bad effect on economy. 61. many people think the increase in the prices of farm products benefits _ . a. nobody b. the country c. middlemen d. farmers62. the following statements are true except _ . a. the government has done something to prevent the prices from rising furtherb. it is better for farmers to leave the market to decide the prices in the long runc. natural disasters did not cause the prices of farm products to increase greatlyd. rising housing prices has made life very difficult for people63. what is probably the authors attitude to raising the farm products prices? a. negative. b. indifferent.(漠不关心的) c. enthusiastic. d. positive. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框af选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。a. a sense of humour helps us from several aspects.b. a sense of humour can be developed in our life. c. a sense of humour is not an inborn ability.d. a sense of humour means more than telling jokes. e. a sense of humour can be expressed in many ways. f. a sense of humour helps people to better enjoy life. 64. _as awareness of the benefits of humour increases, most of us want to get all the laughs we can. it seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humour to help us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. every system of the body responds to laughter in some important or positive way . 65._ many people mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humour. they think that when it comes to a sense of humour. “either you have got it or you dont . ” this is false! what is true, however, is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with. for example, we laugh when we are tickled under the arm, even without thinking about how to react. 66._ the parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth in human infants, but that is not the same thing as having a sense of humour. (after all, when a baby laughs in his small bed we dont rush over and say, “that kid has a great sense of humour!”) your sense of humour is something you can develop over a lifetime. dont be nervous before others and try to laugh at yourself-then you will make them laugh too. 67._ humour includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling. many people worry needlessly that they do not have a good sense of humour because they are not good joke tellers. more than jokes, a sense of humour requires being willing and able to see the funny side of lifes situations as they happen. in fact, one of the best definitions（定义）of a sense of humour is “the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation. ”68. _ there may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humour, but joke telling is only one of those ways. as more is discovered about how humour benefits our life, more people will be able to see and enjoy the humour when they are in a difficult situation. life depends on air, food and water, but it is made easier to live with a good sense of humour. 卷ii （非选择题 满分35分）五、单词拼写（共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分）根据下列句子及所给单词的
