Take the handshake for example. In America, a strong, 17 handshake shows a confident person, someone you can trust, a good leader, but people might be 18 in Asia and the Middle East where they prefer a much looser handshake. Other American gestures are considered very 19 in other countries, such as direct eye contact. To an American, eye contact shows that someone is telling the truth or is 20 in what he or she hears. But if you lived in parts of Asia or Africa, people might be 21 . There are many chances for you to be confused by gestures and body 22 when you travel. 23 your head up and down for “ yes” and shaking your head from side to side for “no” mean the 24 in parts of eastern Europe. The same applies to waving your hand left to right for “hello” or “goodbye”. This can mean “25 ” in Asia and parts of Europe! If you go to Argentina, you might be offended and think someone is calling you crazy when you see them 26 at their head or ear and move their first finger in a circle. Although this means someone or something is 27 in America, in Argentina, it just means that you have a phone call!If you 28 to get someone to come over to where you are, you might hold out your hand, with the palm up and fingers facing in, and curl your first finger in and 29 . But dont do that in Asia, because it isnt very 30 .The last gestures I want to talk about are 31 we call thumbs up and the OK sign. If you 32 your hand and hold up your thumb, this gesture is used in many countries, but it means the number one in Germany and Japan 33 of good job like it does in America. If you 34 a circle with your thumb and first finger, and point the other three fingers up, you are saying yes or that 35 is okay if you are in America. But in France it means zero, in Japan it means money, and if you are in Brazil or Germany, it is very rude!16.A. theB.someC.elseD.other17.A. softB.firmC.looseD.nice18.A. happyB.disappointedC.surprisedD.sad19.A. rudeB.politeC.oppositeD.gentle20.A. interestedB.boredC.glad D.satisfied21.A. pleasedB.offendedC.angry D.attacked22.A. movementB.actionC.languageD.tongue23.A.

After a few minutes he spoke. “Thats a pretty car,” he said, pointing to my car. He was ragged (衣衫褴褛), but he had an air of dignity about himself.I gave him a smile and continued cleaning my car.He sat there quietly as I worked. The expected asking for money never came. As the silence between us widened, it seemed that a voice inside me said, “Ask him if he needs any help.” I was sure that he would say “yes”, but I listened to the inner voice.“Do you need any help?” I asked.He answered in three simple but meaningful words that I shall never forget. We often look for wisdom in great men and women, and we expect it from those of higher learning and achievements. I expected nothing but a dirty hand from him, but he said three words that shook me.“Dont we all?” he said.I was feeling high, successful and important above a beggar in the street, until those three words hit me like a shot.Dont we all?I needed help. Maybe not for a bus fare or for a place to sleep, but I needed help. I reached in my wallet and gave him not only for a bus fare, but enough to get a warm meal and shelter for the day. Those three little words still ring true. No matter how much you have, no matter how much you have achieved, you need help, too. No matter how little you have, no matter how loaded you are with problems, even without money or a place to sleep, you can give help.36. The story happened _.A. outside an office building B. in front of a storeC. near a post officeD. on a bus37. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.

We can learn from the passage that _ .A. we should expect nothing from a beggarB. the writer felt depressed after he heard the beggars answerC. it was the writer that started the small talkD. the beggar, though ragged, said something meaningful39. The best title of the passage is _.A. The Story of a Beggar B. Three Words That Upset Me C. Everyone Needs Help D. Giving HelpBWhats on TV?6:00 Channel 3 Lets Talk!

But that small spending could bring them a reward of $90 million. That was the second largest lottery jackpot（积累奖金）in history.More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing. Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80. The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million. But that little chance certainly didnt affect ticket sales. In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were selling at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second.Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action. Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth theyll probably never have.But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized gambling. Some critics note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit.Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes. The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens. But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice（恶习）, under the name of social progress. No matter whether you regard state lotteries right or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans.44. The main idea of the passage is that .A. lotteries are of great benefit to everyone who buys themB. playing a lottery is just like investing in the stock marketC. a lot of people buy lottery tickets, but lotteries cause disagreementD. lotteries are just legalized vice45. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Politicians like lotteries because they dont have to pay extra tax.B. The popularity of lotteries in America actually is social progress.C. Some critics dont like lotteries because many poor people waste their money on them.D. People love the lottery because it is a stock market.46. In just one hour in the last few days, the Pennsylvania lottery sold tickets totaling .A. $1.62 millionB. $90millionC. $9.6million D. $87million47. People who are addicted to playing lotteries should .A. join a club B. save every centC. win the Pennsylvania D. kick the habitDNorwayTen Chinese college students arrived at the countrys Arctic research base, the Yellow River Station, on Friday.On Saturday，the students are expected to witness the end of four months of darkness in the area，as the sun makes a rare appearance.During their four-day stay at the station，the students will meet and learn from some of Chinas leading polar researchers. They were welcomed at the station yesterday by its director，He Jianfeng，who is an expert on marine micro-ecosystems（海洋微生态系统）.The students will also visit the German and Norwegian stations and meet researchers there.As for entertainment，the visitors will get the chance to play ice hockey at the worlds most northerly stadium.Among the visitors is Zheng Li，a smart student majoring in telecommunications at Dalian Marinetime University.“It is so exciting to see how the Chinese researchers work in the worlds most northerly laboratory,” she said.“This opportunity is precious. Most people will never get the chance to travel so far from home and visit such an amazing place. Its a once-in-a-lifetime thing.”Wu Jinyou，head of the Polar Research Institute of China，and the group leader，said，“I hope the students have not only a field trip to the Yellow River station，but are also touched by the devotion and spirit of the Chinese researchers here. I also expect in the future，some of them will choose to devote themselves to the polar research and maybe even work with us. ”The students have been in Norway since February 28，and were given Arctic training before moving to the station.The Arctic expedition is one of the several international cooperation and exchange activities forming the China Program for International Polar Year（2020）. It was started last March.68Which of the following is true about Wu Jinyou?AHe is a graduate student from Dalian Marinetime University.BHe works at the research station as the leading polar researcher.CHe is sure that all the ten students will make good polar researchers.DHe thinks highly of the devotion and spirit of the Chinese researchers.69What does Zheng Li mean by saying “Its a once-in-a-lifetime thing”?AIts exciting to see the sun rise in the Arctic area in ones life.BThe trip to the research station is extremely exciting.CPlaying ice hockey in Arctic area is really a life-long memory.DPeople are only allowed to visit the station once in their lifetime.70This passage is most probably a（n） according to what is written in its way.Aadventure story Bexperiment statementCnews report Dscience fiction71The best title of the passage could be .AChinese Students Arrive at the Arctic StationBChinese Students Do Research in NorwayCChinese Students Play Ice Hockey at the Arctic StationDChinese Students Receive Training at Arctic StationEThe other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was 7:30 pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.By 9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6:308:30 pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8:00 pm or 8:30 pm means possible dinner, but 9:30 pm and any time thereafter means no food, or at beforehand, roll up late.But this is not always the case. If asked to a students party at 6:30 pm, it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive-looking eager-is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6:30, she likes to be on time, if not on time, then no later than seven. My age group（late thirties）falls somewhere between the two , but because we still think were young , were probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.The accepted custom at present is confusing, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does give every party that precious element of surprise.52. The underlined words “off their heads ” probably mean_ .A. tiredB. hopelessC. curiousD. crazy53. Jane and Davids story is used to show that _ .A. party-goers usually get hungry at partiesB. party invitations can be confusingC. people should ask for food at partiesD. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull54. For some young people, arriving on time for a students party will probably be considered _.A. very difficultB. particularly thoughtful C. friendly and polite D. socially unacceptable55. According to the writer, people in their late thirties_A. are likely to arrive late for a partyB. care little about the party timeC. havent really grown up yet D. like surprises at parties第四部分 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）改正下面短文中的错误，每行至多只有一个错误。修改方法如下：如某一行没有错误，则在这一行后面的横线上打一对号“”。如要修改一个词，则在这个词下面划一横线，并在后面的横线上写出正确的词。如要加一个词，则在要加词的位置打上“”，并在后面的横线上写出要加的词。如要删一个词，则在要删的词上打一“”，并在后面的横线上写要删的词，并打上“”。For the final speaker here today, I would like to share56._you some of the conclusions of our research.
