a completely new way to study gorillasshe pretended to be one of them. she copied their actions and way of lifeeating plants and getting down on her hands and knees to walk the way a gorilla does. it was a new relationship. diane fossey was murdered in rwanda in 1985 and her story was made into the popular film gorillas in the mist. it was a long way from king kong, which is about a gorilla as a monster (a frightening animal), and helped to show a new idea: the real monster is man, while the gorilla is to be admired.today there are thoughtto be around 48,000 lowland gorillas and maybe 400450 mountain gorillas in the wild. from the congo in west africa, to rwanda and uganda further east, they are endangered by hunting and by the cutting down of their forest homes. some time ago, i found in my letterbox a little magazine from the world wide fund for nature. it had two photos side by side. one was of a young gorilla.“this is a species of mammal(哺乳类动物),”said the words below it.“it is being destroyed by man. we must save it for our own good.”the other photo showed a human baby. the words also read,“this is a species of mammal,”but then went on:“it is the most destructive(破坏性的) on earth. we must retrain it for its own good.”1. the text mainly talks about _.a. diane fossey b. the gorillas in rwandac. the protection of the gorillas d. the film gorillas in the mist2. we can learn from the text that _.a. gorillas in the mist was based fosseys experiencesb. lowland gorillas live longer than mountain gorillasc. king kong showed us that a gorilla is admirabled. diane fossey was murdered by a gorilla3. what message can we get from the two photos in the magazine?a. gorillas are mans close friends.b. both man and the gorilla need to be saved.c. young gorillas are as lovely as human babies.d. man should live peacefully with the gorilla.b my father had returned from his business visit to london when i came in, rather late, to supper. i could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. in that half-playful, half-serious way i knew so well, he said, how would you like to go to eton? you bet, i cried quickly catching the joke. everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. you had to be entered at birth, if not before. besides, even at 12 or 13, i understood my father. he disliked any form of showing off. he always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining royal liverpool golf club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand rolls-royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an austin 1100. this could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. alas! i should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict（冲突）with his fear of drawing attention to himself. it seemed that he had happened to be talking to graham brown of the london office, a very nice fellow, and graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. i remember my eyes stinging（刺痛）and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. there was excitement, at the heart of great sadness. oh, he doesnt want to go away, said my mother, you shouldnt go on like this.” its up to him, said my father. he can make up his own mind.”4. the house the writers family lived in was_. a. the best they could afford b. right for their social position c. for showing off d. rather small5. his father sold his roils-royce because_. a. it made him feel uneasy b. it was too old to work well c. it was too expensive to possess d. it was too cheap6. what was the writers reaction to the idea of going to eton? a. he was very unhappy. b. he didnt believe it. c. he was delighted. d. he had mixed feelings.7. we can know from the passage that_. a. children who can go to eton are very famous b. children can go to eton if they will c. it is very difficult for a child to get admitted by eton d. children dont have the right to decide whether they will go to etonccomputer programmer david jones earns $35,000 a year designing new computer games. yet he cannot find a bank ready to let

some important tips to help you be successful when dealing with these nationalities. first, you must be punctual (准时的) with germans. even 5 minutes late makes a bad impression. being punctual is also very important in the usa. in the uk, its important to be punctual for business meetings, but nobody expects you to be on time for a social event. half past seven really means a quarter to eight, or even eight oclock! with russians, you should always be on time, though it is not unusual for them to be one or even two hours late!it is best to dress formally and wear dark colours when you meet people from all the four countries. in russia, designer clothes are very common. dont be surprised if you go to an office in the uk on a friday and find everyone wearing jeans. many companies have “dress down friday”, when people wear casual (随便的) clothes. in germany, first names are only used by family members and close friends, so be prepared to use titles and last names. in the usa you will usually be invited to use first names almost immediately. the british are quite informal and using first names in business is more and more common, especially among younger people. in russia, however, nobody uses first names, so use titles and last names.in conversation, the british and the americans value humour, and both like to talk about sport. the weather is also a good topic of conversation with the british and the americans, but avoid talking about politics. in russia, say positive things about their country, but avoid making complaints. the germans, however, prefer to get straight down to business! so, use these tips, and you will be on your way to a successful international business career!12. which color should you not wear when meeting a person from the usa?a. dark blue. b. gray. c. black. d. white.13. all of the following statements are true except _.a.you can say something funny when you talk to an americanb.you can use his first name when you talk to an englishmanc.you must be on time when you meet people from each of the four countriesd.people wear whatever they like on friday in some companies in the uk14. when you talk to a russian, you can _.a. complain about something b. say something negative about his countryc. say something good about his country d. point out some disadvantages in politics15. the tips in this passage are probably given to people from _.a. chinab. the usac. germanyd. the uk第二部分 语法填空（共10小题，每题1.5分，共15分）阅读下面短文，根据上下文填入适当的词语，或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卷上标号为16-25的相应位置。 when you are in england you must be very careful in the streets _16_
