Over 250 people were on the trains then. About 60people were hurt, but no deaths were reported.Travel Time Tourists came together to the Taishan Mountain, on May1. Over 180,000tourists visited the place of great interest from April 29 to May 1, during the three-day holiday.Brave Volunteer Liao Zhi , a dance teacher from Chengdu who lost her 1-year-old daughter and her legs in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, arrived in Yaan 13 hours after the earthquake. The dancer said she had had a terrible time herself and knew what people needed most, so she decided to come and offer help.Tomato Competition A tomato competition was held in Huainan, Anhui Province, on April 16.

Theyre not really bad guests , but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some western countries , it appears they are not nice guests. And western guests sometimes look rude（粗鲁的）in the eyes of Chinese guests.In China , guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese persons home , there is always fruit on the table for me , and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west , generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the hosts way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.My wifes mother , a very kind elderly Chinese lady , doesnt smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house , as a non-smoker , I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly , but I must realize that in China , to be a good host , she must not do that. In most North American homes , if you are a guest , and the hosts are not smokers , you should not smoke in their house. At the very least , you could ask , “ Is it OK if I smoke?” But , dont be surprised if they say , “ No , you cant smoke. ” In our culture , if you smoke in their home , you are a bad guest , but if they dont allow you to smoke in their house , they are not a rude host.Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese , so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However , giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So , if you invite international guests to your home , dont be too surprised if they dont bring you a gift.In China , you probably wont need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host , and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house , try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。45 . Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the _ in the world.Abest .BworstCmost naturalDmost difficult46 . When a western guest visits a Chinese family , he often _ .Abuys some fruitBfeels like a godCwants some giftsDtakes a cup of tea47 . If the writers guests want to smoke in his house , what will he probably say?AIts OK if you smoke here.BLets smoke together.CSorry , you cant smoke here.DSmoking is a bad habit.48 . What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “ adapt to ” in the passage?AThink back to.BGet used to.CLook forward to.DKeep close to.49 . What is the main idea of this passage?AForeigners should learn from Chinese.BHosts must do things in the guests way.CWestern hosts are always nice to guests.DPeople should understand cultural differences.五、句型转换句型转换50 .

They dont even need to use their fingers. They simply know the answers to addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts. The more quickly kids can recall basic facts, the easier it is for them to solve problems at h_ level.Scientists recorded（记录）the brain activities of 28 students for the study, e_ when the students did maths calculations without the help of a calculator, pen or paper. A calculation three plus four equals seven, for example flashed on a screen. The students should say if the answer was right or wrong.Rather than counting, or writing on the paper, the students pulled the answers from m_. Its as if（就像）the answers to basic addition, subtraction, and multiplication problems are kept in a long-term storage（储存）area in the brain.When kids have basic maths facts memorized, the brain has space to learn more difficult maths. As kids got o_, their answers became quicker and more accurate.Scientists hope to use this research to d_ new ways to help kids learn maths at all levels. One way for students is to quiz themselves in different orders solving five times three b_ five times two, for example. Mixing up the order keeps the brain active. Keep these drills up, and you may be a maths whizz in no time.55 . h_56 . _57 . m_58 . o_59 . d_60 . b_七、回答问题Ever feel like no one really understands you well? “ Pepper” could be about to change all that.
