century. in the last thirty years, business contacts between japan and the west have become very important. many foreign companies now have offices in japan and japanese businessmen do business around the world.differences between japanese and western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder the foreign businessmen and making doing business in japan difficult for foreigners. the american businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. he wants quick decisions. he does not wait. the japanese, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decisions gradually after giving him a great deal of thought.another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a japanese means “yes” or “no” . this is because of cultural difference for a japanese to say “no” directly. in english, it is easy to say “no” to something we do not want to do. but in japan it is very difficult to say “no”. to refuse an invitation or a request with “no”， or a similar phrase, is felt to be impolite. it is thought to be selfish and unfriendly. so instead of saying “no” directly, the japanese have developed many ways to avoid saying “no” . these enable them to avoid hurting other peoples feeling. however, this often makes communication with the japanese difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.1the underlined word“bewilder”in paragraph 2 probably means“_”atire

to get used to skyrocketing prices for gas. the average price for 87 octane economy gas is $2.22, almost 30 percent higher today than it was 12 months ago. the lowest gas price in the southland right now is $2.09 a gallon at the seashell station in arcadia. the station manager, everett, said the reason his gas is cheaper than elsewhere is that he bought a lot of gas two years ago at reduced prices, so he is passing his savings on to his customers.the lines at the seashell station often run 10 to 20 vehicles long. the police have been here several times because cars block traffic on horsetrail drive. everett said, “i tell people in line that the bareo station a block away is only $2.14, but theyd rather wait and save 5 cents. its ok with me, of course. i dont mind making money.”a young man pumping gas said he had waited in line for 20 minutes. when asked why he didnt go a block away where there were no lines, he said, “every penny counts. when i bought this 99 hummer, gas was only $1 a gallon, which was pretty cheap. so, even though i only get eight miles per gallon, i wasnt paying that much to fill my tank. but todays prices are killing me. i drive to work, and i drive to the grocery store. thats it. i used to drive around the neighborhood just to show off my wheels, but i cant do that any more.”5according to the passage, the gas price a year ago was about _.a2 dollars

used to drive around the neighborhood just to show off my wheels”。答案：accertain people make you feel comfortable when they are around.you spend an hour with them and feel as if youve known them half your life.these people have something in common.and once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.how is it done？here are several skills that good talkers have.if you follow the skills, theyll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.first of all, good talkers ask questions.almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question.one wellknown business woman says, “at business lunches, i always ask people what they did that morning.its a common question, but it will get things going.”from there you can move on to other matters, sometimes to really personal questions. and how he answers will let you know how far you can go.second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen for the answers.this point seems clear, but it isnt. your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. and to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.real listening at least means some things.first it means not to change the subject of conversation.if someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that hes really interested in it.real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice.if the voice sounds dull, then, its time for you to change the subject.finally, good talkers know well to deal with the occasion of parting.if you are saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “ive really enjoyed meeting you.”if you want to see that person again, dont keep it a secret.let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they have known you half their lives.9asking questions might be a quite good way_.afor you to make more and more new friendsbfor you to end the talkcto get conversation going without any difficultydto begin you business talks10after you ask somebody a question, you should_.amake it clear what kind of person he isblisten to his reply attentivelycwait quietly for his answerdgo on asking

change the topic of the talk12if you really want to see someone again, _.ait seems necessary for you to let him know itbyou may take him as your good friendcit is necessary for you to give him a second chanceditll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him答案与解析：9解析：问问题可以引起交谈的话题。答案：c10解析：根据第四段可知。答案：b11解析：善谈者知道怎样和什么时候改变话题。答案：d12解析：如想再会，有必要让对方了解你这一意图。答案：adone day a heavy storm hit a

dhearing答案与解析：21解析：由第一句提到这位木匠一天不顺利，因此此处应是他的车胎泄气了。用 flat tire 可以表示“泄了气的轮胎”。答案：a22解析：由下一句“我开车送他回家”可知，木匠的汽车不发动，排除a和c项；因 object to 后接 doing 可排除d。而 refuse to do sth. 的含义是“拒绝做某事”。答案：b23解析：作者开车去送木匠，木匠理应坐在作者的旁边。答案：d24解析：由下文可知作者和木匠走进了木匠的家中，因此答案为 house。答案：c25解析：根据下文可知，作者并没有有意去看木匠的树和动物，而是进了木匠一家人居住的地方，见到了他的孩子们和妻子。因此答案为 family。答案：b26解析：这儿讲的只是作者和木匠进来时，木匠在树的旁边稍微停留一会儿。应用 briefly, 其含义是“简洁地；短暂地”。答案：c27解析：由第四段可知，木匠每次回家都要把烦恼留在烦恼树上。因此，此处指木匠用双手摸一摸树枝。答案：b28解析：下文提到木匠进家后把烦恼留在烦恼树上，因此他打开屋门应是面带笑容。答案：d29解析：由下文“他吻了妻子一下”可推出，他对家人充满了爱。因此答案应是 hugged (拥抱)。答案：a30解析：自己随木匠进入他的家中，这应属于拜访。答案：c31解析：由下文木匠的话中的“thats just my trouble tree” 可知，他们经过的是那棵树。答案：a32解析：因此作者询问他刚才所做的事情。答案：d33解析：由上面一句可知作者询问木匠问题，因此木匠应答复。答案：b34解析：由该树的名字 trouble tree 可以得出答案。答案：d35解析：麻烦被挂在树上，当然就不属于这个家了。答案：a36解析：把烦恼挂在树上。代替上文的 troubles 应用 them。答案：d37解析：本句的句意为“早上我去上班的时候”，head 可用作动词，意思是“前进”。答案：d38解析：由下文39空后的 “the troubles i pick up in the morning” 可以得出答案。答案：b39解析：由下文可知，木匠觉得自己每天早上所取的烦恼都要比自己头天晚上挂在树上的少一点。这应是件有趣的事情。答案：b40解析：由上一段最后一句中的 hanging 可推出答案。答案：c第二节：语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面材料， 在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。juliet: is the environment a
