They decided that miscommunications were always possible，even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”. On her first day in Micronesia，an island in the Pacific，Lisa thought people werent paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked，“Do you have cold drinks?” The woman there didnt say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her： She had raised her eyebrows （眉毛），which in Micronesia means “yes”.Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria，a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter,“Do you have cabbage today？”He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country，a nod means no. Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class，he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood，so he explained again. When he asked again，they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India，people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” and “no”. （ ）41.These Americans teaching English in other countries found that they _.

English teaching in other countries BThe tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. There are some traditions that you can find almost anywhere and anytime, such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the Happy Birthday song. But you can find others for certain ages and in certain countries. In China, on a childs second birthday, family members put many things on the floor around the child. According to Chinese tradition, the first thing that the child picks up tells you what kind of job the child will choose later in life. For Japanese children, the third, fifth and seventh birthdays are especially important. At this age, there is a special celebration Shichi-Go-San (seven, five, three in Japanese).When children go to the temple wearing a new kimono, the priest gives them special sweets. And the parents usually have a party for the children and their friends in their homes. Eighteen is the traditional coming of age-the age when (in many countries) you have the right to vote, join the army, (in Britain) drink wine or buy a house. In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top, or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key. The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and come back home at any time they want to!( )46.

People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example , someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy ,but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “ I visit the shore once in a blue moon.” While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it. The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression. In fact , the phrase “blue moon” has to do with the shape of the moon , not the color. As the moon travels around the earth , it appears to change shape. We associate certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon, it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip(尖端) of a fingernail （指甲）When we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon.When we can see the whole moon, it is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however, there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called “a blue moon” Over the next 20 years , there will only be 15 blue moons . As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression “once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.( ) 51. Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase “once in a blue moon”. A. Simon often tells jokes. Simon tells jokes once in a blue moon. B. Tom rarely remembers to do exercise. Tom does exercise once in a blue moon. C. Mary likes to go shopping every weekend. Mary goes shopping once in a blue moon. D. Cindy hates to stay up, but she stays up every day. Cindy stays up once in a blue moon.( ) 52. When does a blue moon happen in nature? A. When the moon has a blue moon. B. When we cannot see the moon at all. C. When there are two full moons in one month. D. When we can only see a small part of the moon.( ) 53. Which of the following is another example of something that has a shape? A. The letter “O” B. The letter “M” C. The letter “H” D. The letter “C”( ) 54. How often will a blue moon happen over the next twenty years? A. Once a year. B. Less than once a year. C. More than once a year. D. At least twice a year.( ) 55. What does the underlined part “This fact” in the last paragraph refer to(所指)? A. A blue moon is a very rare event. B. The moon appears to change shape. C. The moon itself is never really blue. D. A blue moon has to do with the shape of the moon.第卷(非选择题部分，共45分)五、词汇运用（每小题1分，共15 分）A. 根据中文、英文释义或句意完成下列句子。56.
