Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we wont have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.Lets look at books, for example, some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We wont need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized books will be used more and more.Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers, because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers wont change these two habits.56. In the first paragraph it is thought people will use computers for _.A. playing games, shopping and making telephone callsB. making telephone calls, having meals and seeing filmsC. seeing films, buying food, and going for holidaysD. playing games, making telephone calls and seeing the doctor57. Which reason for using computerized books is NOT said in the passage?A. Computerized books wont be very expensive.B. Computers can keep many different books in them.C. We wont have lots of pages.D. We wont need any paper.58. Paragraph 4 tells _.A. about the old and new ways of shopping and communicatingB. if the Internet will change our habitsC. about computerized booksD. about future uses of computers59. The best title for this passage is _.A. Computers Will Replace Shops and Books B. Computers Role in the FutureC. Computers Will Do Everything for Man D. How Computers Change Our Habits BFacial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians dont smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to summarize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural backgrounds in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.60. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?A. Love B. Politeness C. Joy D. Thankfulness61. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that a smile can _.A. show friendliness to strangersB. be used to hide true feelings C. be used in the wrong places D. show personal habits62. What should we do before attempting to “read” people?A. Learn about their relations with othersB. Understand their cultural backgroundsC. Find out about their past experienceD. Figure out what they will do next来源: /63. What would be the best title for the test? A. Cultural DifferencesB. Smiles and RelationshipsC. Facial ExpressivenessD. Habits and EmotionsC Bardithch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for over fifty years, was wheeled to the Park. Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans (嘟囔声) when Ms. Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined. Then Ms. Yates started to speak:“I cant tell you how pleased Im to be here. I havent seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I havent appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the births of your children, in my imagination. ”Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.”“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar (呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.64. What activity was organized for the school reunion?A. Sightseeing in the parkB. A picnic on the school playground C. Telling stories about past events D. Graduates reports in the old building65. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Some graduates were too busy to listen to Ms. Yates speechB. Many graduates disliked Ms. Yates ways of teaching C. Some people got tired from the reunion activities D. Most people had little interest in the reunion66. We can learn from Ms. Yates speech that she _.A. knew her students progressB. gave her students advice on their careersC. attended her students college graduationsD. went to her students wedding ceremonies67. Which of the following can best describe Ms. Yates? A. Reliable and devoted B. Tough and generousC. Proud but patient D. Strict but caringDWhy is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils( 灾祸 ).Peoples choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies reactions toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environments have been found to have fewer stomach aches.Red can cause a persons blood pressure to rise and increase peoples appetites(食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red Buy Now button because red is a color that easily catches a persons eye.Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.68. Muslims consider green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their .A. cultural valuesB. commercial purposesC. personal experiencesD. physical reactions to the col
