Sometimes we move our heads up and down when we want to say yes, and we shake our heads when we want to say no . Some people cant hear or speak. They talk with the help of gestures(手势).People from other countries often have to do it if they dont know your language. The following story shows how they sometimes do it. An American was once having his holiday in Italy, but he could not speak Italian. Oneday he went to a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, the American opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. In this way he wanted to say Bring me something toeat. The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The American shook his head and the waiter understood that he didnt want tea. So he took it away and brought him a glass of milk. The American shook his head again. He was very hungry now and looked sad. He was just going to leave the restaurant when another man came in. When this man saw the waiter, he put his hands on his stomach(胃). That was enough. After a few minutes there was a large plate of bread and meat on the table for him.56. What did the American want the waiter to bring him?A. A cup of tea B. A cup of coffeeC. A glass of hot water D. Something to eat57. When a foreigner wants something to eat in an Italian restaurant, hed better_.A. put his hands on his stomach B. put his fingers in his mouth C. put his finger on his lipsD. move his lips from side by side 58. The writer wrote the article to tell us_.A. how to express Yes” and No”B. how to express ourselves without wordsC. how to get food in a restD. how to eat Italian foodBAs a student, you must be excited to know something about American school students. In fact, just likein China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years arecalled junior high school and the other is senior high school. In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system (制度), American childrenhave little difficulty in going to senior high school. American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activitiesare organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us studentsin China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And those who comeout with low marks at the end of a school year and who should repeat a grade are often allowed to go on tothe next grade. In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. So children whowant to go to university are often sent to suburban (郊区的) high schools, where most students want to goto university and the atmosphere (氛围) is quite different.59. Activities outside of the classroom refer to _. A. what the students do after class in school B. what the students learn in extra classes C. what a music group or a sports team do D. what the teachers do after class for the students 60. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The time of free education in China is longer than that in America. B. Those who get good marks can go to a good university. C. American students can take all kinds of subjects during the high school period. D. They can be allowed to join the next grade even if they fail the school-year exam. 61. The writer of the passage tells us the truth that _. A. the atmosphere in high schools is quite different from that in a university B. none of the schools in cities are good for learning C. suburban high schools are good places for learning D. all the American students want to go to university CThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealthand other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from thedifferent ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore,they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) manypeople, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评) and being disliked isperhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. Ihope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If theybring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid anycontact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels. 62. People who are unhappy _.A. always consider things differently from othersB. usually are affected by the results of certain thingsC. usually misunderstand what others think or sayD. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things63. The phrase sour the pleasure of society most nearly means _.A. have a good taste with social lifeB. make others unhappyC. tend to please others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life64. We can conclude from the passage that _.A. we should pity all such unhappy people B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessD. unhappy people can not understand happy persons65. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _.A. prevent any communication with them B. show no respect and politeness to themC. persuade them to recognize the bad effectsD. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakesDScientists have tried to come up with biological explanations for the difference between boys and girls.However, none were believable enough to explain the general picture. As one scientist points out, Thereare slight genetic(遗传的) differences between the sexes at birth which may affect the subjects boys andgirls choose. But the difficulty is that by the time children reach school age, there are so many other effects that it is almost impossible to tell whether girls are worse at science and maths, or whether theyve been brought up to think of these subjects as boys territory. Statistics(统计数据) show that in mathematics, at least, girls are equal to boys. A recent reportsuggests that girls only stop studying mathematics because of social attitudes. One of the reports authorssays, While it is socially unacceptable for people not to be able to read and write, it is still acceptable for women to say that they are hope-less at maths. Our research shows that, although girls get marks whichare as good as the boys, they have not been encouraged to do so. The explanation for the difference, which is very clear during the teenage years, goes as far back as early childhood experiences. From their first days in nursery school, girls are not encouraged to work ontheir own or to complete tasks, although boys are. For example, boys but not girls, are often asked tohelp with repair work. This encouragement leads to a way of learning how to solve problems later on in life. Evidence shows that exceptional mathematicians and scientists did not have teachers who suppliedanswers; they had to find out for themselves.A further report on maths teaching shows that teachers seem to give more attention to boys than to girls.Most teachers who took part in the study admitted that they expect their male students to do better at mathematics and science subjects than their female students. All of this tends to encourage boys to workharder in these subjects, gives them confidence and makes them believe that they can succeed. Interestingly, both boys and girls tend to regard such male subjects like mathematics and science asdifficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls avoid mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons. Mathematics and science are mainly male subjects, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less likely to take them up. Girls do not seem to want to be in open competition with boys. Neither dothey want to do better than boys because they are afraid to appear less female and so, less attractive.66. The underlined word territory in the second paragraph most probably means _.A. interest B. area of land C. special field D. district67. According to scientific studies, _ .A. maths is not fit for girls to learn B. boys have a special sense of mathsC. girls are poorer at maths because they are the weaker sexD. girls can learn maths as well as boys if given enough encouragement68. Those who made extraordinary contribution in mathematics and science _. .A.usually had good teachers to help themB. had the abilities to solve problems by themselvesC. usually worked harder than othersD. were encouraged to repair things when young69. Which of the following is not true according to the text?A. It seems socially acceptable for a girl not to be able to read and write.B. It is a social problem rather than a problem of brains that girls are poor at mathsC. Mathematics and science are no easy subjects to either girls or boys.D. There is no connection between a girls ability in maths and her appearance.70. What would be the best title for the text?A. Whos afraid of Maths Anyway?B. Are Boys Cleverer than Girls?C. Boys Are Better at Maths than Girls by BirthD.
