并在答 题卡上将该项涂黑 A A It s really true what people say about English politeness it s everywhere When squeezing 挤过去 past someone in a narrow passage people say sorry When getting off a bus English passengers say thank you rather than the driver In Germany people would never dream of doing these things After all squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable and the bus driver is only doing his job I used to think the same way without questioning it until I started traveling to the British Isles and here are some more polite ways of interacting 交往 with people in UK People thank each other everywhere in England all the time When people buy something in a shop customer and shop assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more In Germany it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs as opposite to Germans who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize 批评 others Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable This also is showed in other ways British men still open doors for women and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men However I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men Yes the latter are a bit tightfisted 31 What is the author s attitude towards English politeness A He thinks it is unnecessary B He thinks little of it C He appreciates it very much D He thinks it goes too far 32 What can be inferred from the passage A German men never treat a woman to dinner 4 B The author think it s unnecessary to say thank you to the bus driver C In Germany employers often say thank you to employees for their job D Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough 33 We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men A like to fight with each other B treat women in a polite way C are as generous as English men D are unwilling to spend money for women 34 The author develops the text through the method of A making comparisons B telling stories C giving reasons D giving examples B B ItemItem 7843178431 TheThe VideoVideo CameraCamera PenPen 129 95 Available

take drugs What s to blame for all the bad behavior Most people would say that while these self destructive acts can have many root causes they all have one obvious thing in common they are all examples of failures of self control lacking the will power to resist them According to a recent study however if you really think about it something about that simple answer doesn t quite make sense In fact it turns out that sometimes it s having will power that really gets you into trouble Think back to the time you took your very first sip 啜饮 of beer Disgusting wasn t it When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it And smoking No one enjoys their first cigarette it tastes awful So even though smoking and drinking alcohol or coffee can become temptation 诱惑 you need will power to resist they never ever start out that way Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self control Ironically 讽刺的是 only those who can control themselves well rather than give in to them can ever come to someday develop a taste for Budweiser beer Marlboro cigarettes or dark roasted Starbucks coffee We do it for social acceptance We force ourselves to consume alcohol cigarettes coffee and even illegal drugs in order to seem experienced grown up and cool These bad habits aren t self control failures far from it They are 6 voluntary choices and they are in fact self control successes Self control is simply a tool to be put to some use helpful or harmful To live happy and productive lives we need to develop not only our self control but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it 39 What do most people think causes bad behavior A Being forced by others B Not having enough will power C Enjoying their first experiences D Following the examples of their friends 40 The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove A will power helps develop bad habits sometimes B drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagers C self control should be developed when one is young D everyone can be challenged by different temptations 41 In the last paragraph the author stresses that A without self control no one can succeed B bad habits don t always lead to bad results C applying self control correctly is important D people can develop wisdom from bad behavior 42 What would be the best title for the passage A My First Sip of Beer B Do You Have Will Power C Does Will Power Benefit Us D Dark Side of Self control D D Given Australia s size and the fact that early settlements were far apart Australian society is remarkably homogeneous 同种的 Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents However there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers and the country people Almost 90 per cent of the population lives in the fast paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert The major cities preserve pockets of colonial 7 heritage but the overall impression is modern with new buildings reflecting the country s youth In contrast the rural communities tend to be slow moving and conservative For many years Australia was said to have ridden on the sheep s back a reference to wool being the country s main money earner However the wool industry is no longer dominant Much of Australia s relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat and by being the largest diamond producer in the world Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important Australians are generally friendly and relaxed with a self deprecating sense of humor On the whole Australia is a society without hierarchies 等级制度 an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner beginnings Yet contrary to widespread belief very few Australians have true prisoner origins Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788 Australia had become a nation of immigrants Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere Australia s liberal postwar immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from war torn Europe most notably Greeks Italians Poles and Germans The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia Today Australia is a blend of nations and although some racism exists it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is justifiably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world 43 What does the writer mean by saying It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents in the first paragraph A Australians speak Standard English with no local accents whatsoever B You have to practice a lot to learn to understand the different accents C The Australian regional accents are very difficult to understand indeed D There is not much difference between the accents in different areas of Australia 44 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage A Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners B The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports C The majority of people living in Australia come from Europe D The pace of life is different in the city and in the country 45 The underlined pronoun it in the final paragraph refers to A Community B racism C blend of Nations D Southeast Asia 46 We can infer from the passage that A there are no signs of Australia s colonial past in its modern cities B Australia s recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast Asia 8 C immigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial problems D riding on sheep s back resulted in slow development in rural communities E E Since the 1970s scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers Brain computer interface BCI technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines Recently two researchers Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne Switzerland demonstrated 展示 a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person s thoughts In the laboratory Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts Our brain has billions of nerve cells These send signals through the spinal cord 脊髓 to the muscles to give us the ability to move But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles Tavella says Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices The researchers designed a special cap for the user This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp 头皮 and sends them to a computer The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path They help the computer react to commands from the brain Prof Millan the team leader says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories communication and controlling devices One example is this wheelchair He says his team has set two goals One is testing with real patients so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time 47 BCI is a technology that can A help to update computer systems B link the human brain with computers C help the disabled to recover D control a person s thoughts 48 How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory A By controlling his muscles B By talking to the machine C By moving his hand D By using his mind 49 The team will test with real patients to A make profits from them B prove the technology useful to them 9 C make them live longer D learn about their physical condition 50 Which of the following would be the best title for the text A Switzerland the BCI Research Center B New Findings About How the Human Brain Works C BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled D Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries 第二节第二节 补全对话 共补全对话 共 5 5 小题 每小题小题 每小题 2 2 分 满分分 满分 1010 分 分 根据对话内容 从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项 并在答题卡上将该项涂 黑
