We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Lets look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”, have negative meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive actions. For example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a persons serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. The word “dog-tired” means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel（无情）.The rose is a symbol（标志）of love in both China and some western countries. People think the rose means love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries.The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.（ ）51“Every dog has its day.” means “_”.A. Everybody in the world is lucky. B. Each person lives his own way of life.C. If one works hard, hes sure to succeed. D. Everybody has a time in life to be lucky.（ ）52The underlined word “negative” means _ in Chinese.A. 正面的 B. 负面的 C. 中性的D. 有趣的 （ ）53From the passage, we can infer（推断）that the word “copycat” is most likely to describe a person who_ in western countries.A. likes following（效仿）others B. enjoys writing booksC. is good at copying notes D. loves drawing cats（ ）54Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Words show differences in culture. B. Chinese people prefer dogs to cats.C. Western people think cats to be good friends. D. Rose is the national flower of all western countries.（ ）55Whats the best title for the passage? A. Negative or Positive B. Different Countries Have Different CultureC. Rose Means the Same in Chinese and English D. What Dog and Cat Mean in English and Chinese第二节 主题匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列五段语言材料，从A到F选项中找出与它们相应的标题，并将答案写在试题前的括号内。（ ）56. As we know, we put food on a plate and water in a glass on earth. Gravity(引力) holds the food down and keeps the water in the glass. But in space, there is almost no gravity. So food can float away, and astronauts must eat and drink carefully.（ ）57. In space, sleeping is very different. Some astronauts like to float in the air, but some astronauts like to be in a sleeping bag. They tie the bag to a wall so that they cant float at night.（ ）58. Exercise is very important in space. On earth, your legs carry your body, but in space, astronauts float, so they do not use their legs. This is bad for their legs. So they exercise for thirty minutes every day. They often use an exercise bike for this.（ ）59. Many people can use computers, but few of them know how to look after them. Remember the following when you use computers: Keep your computer in a cool, dry room; do not put water or food near your computer; keep you screen clean and not too bright.（ ）60. Some things can carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. Sings on the door tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and you receive messages from them all the time?A. Use computer in right ways B. How to sleep in spaceC. How to stay healthy in right ways D. Signs and messagesE. Eating and drinking in space F. Exercise in space第三节 回答问题（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读短文，根据短文内容用完整句子回答下列问题。Frederic Chopin was born in 1810 in a small Polish town near Warsaw. His mother was Polish and his father was French. Chopins great talent was apparent (明显) at a young age; by the time he was seven he had already written several pieces. By the age of nine he started performing publicly in Warsaw. He was thought to be the new Mozart. Chopin studied music at the celebrated Warsaw Conservatory. After graduating in 1830, he started his tour to find fame and fortune (财富) in Europe. While performing in Vienna, he learned of Russias invasion (侵略) of Poland. Unable to return home, he went to Paris. Chopin decided to stay there and had a job in performing and teaching. The news of the war in Poland inspired Chopin to write many sad musical pieces to express his sadness for his motherland Poland. Because of his poor health and homesickness, Frederic Francois Chopin died at the age of 39 in Paris. Chopins nocturnes(夜曲) are so famous that many people remember them forever. As their titles suggest, they are dreamy night pieces, with melodies many people think among the most beautiful musical pieces ever written.61. Which country is Chopin from?_62. How old was Chopin when he left school? _63. Why did Chopin have a tour in Europe?_64. What kind of music is Chopin famous for?_65.
