Why do you shout at a person when youre angry? ”Disciples gave some other answers but none _20_ the saint. Finally he explained,“When two people are angry at each other, their _21_ distance a lot.

They eat almost everything with a fork, and it appears that holding a knife in ones right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.The system is that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife, a person should take the fork in his left hand, and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manner. Then he puts the knife down, transfers the fork to his right hand, and only then does he transport the food to his mouth. This is clearly ludicrous(滑稽可笑的), but it is considered good manners.There are several results of this system. First, if it is not absolutely necessary to use a knife, Americans dont use one, because obviously this greatly complicates things, and you will therefore see them trying to cut things like potatoes, fish and even bacon with a fork. Second, towards the end of a course, since only one implement(器具) is being used, food has to be chased around the plate with the forkand for the last mouthful the thumb has to be used to keep the food in place, although one is not supposed to do this.Third, tables are generally laid with one knife and two forks, the outside fork being for the salad. There is no need for foreign visitors to follow the American custom and try to eat the salad with only a fork, but if you do use your knife, remember to save it for the meat course. Even dessert(甜点) is eaten with a fork if at all possible, and the spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee (but if you use it for your dessert no one will say anything).44. What is the main idea of the passage?A. How to use forks in America.B. Table manners in America.C. What are the good manners in America?D. The rules to follow when you are in America.45. What is considered good behavior on American tables?A. People use their left hands to hold forks and eat with their left hands.B. People eat with forks.C. People hold the fork with their left hands while cutting meat but transfer it to their right hands when eating the meat.D. People eat without a knife.46. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. it is considered good manners to eat with the left hand holding the forkB. Americans probably avoid using knives during the mealC. it is considered impolite to only use forks to catch foodD. knife is very important on American tables47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A. The spoon is limited to be for coffee on American tables.B. One must not eat American food with the help of his thumb.C. How to use knives and forks is not strictly required in America.D. The inside fork is for desserts.DOf the 754 sites on the United Nations World Heritage(文化遗产) List(WHL),29 are located in China, the third-largest number in one country.This was made known by Zhang Xinsheng, the chairman of the Chinese National Commission for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural(文化的) Organization (UNESCO),at a press conference on Tuesday.According to Zhang,582 of the WHL sites are places of cultural heritage,149 are places of natural heritage, and 23 are mixed. Of Chinas 29 sites,21 are cultural,4 natural and 4 mixed. The most famous ones are the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Mount Taishan, Mount Huangshan and Jiuzhaigou.In 1972,UNESCO adopted the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage.

The “standard” retirement age varies from country to country. _51_ However, for a long time, people have got into an argument about whether the age of retirement should be increased or reduced in their own countries.52 Many people think that older employees have a large amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire. Besides, older employees are often extremely faithful employees and are more willing to implement(执行，落实） company policies than the young.53 To force someone to resign or retire at 60 or 65 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is over.Allowing old people to work indefinitely(无限地）, however, is not always a good policy. Some people took the strong view that age alone is no guarantee of ability.Many young employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. On the other hand, older people should be rewarded by society for their lifes labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy leisure. They can have time to do whatever they like. 54 With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. 55 In my opinion, giving workers more choices over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual.A.It is more important to give them the right to voice their opinions.B.A more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people.C.However, this can affect the older individuals freedomand rightto work.D.But it is generally between 50 and 70, according to the latest statistics, 2020.E.Old people will feel not respected by society if they are forced to resign from their job.F. That means that they can have their own plans or roles and achieve their retirement goals.G.There are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able.第卷（非选择题 共35分）第三部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）第1节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号（ ），并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1.每处错误及修改均仅限一词; 2.只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。The other day,on my way to home,I saw an old man surrounding by a great many people.It turned out that the old man was begging for some money.It surprised me was that the old man was neatly dressed,looking differently from other beggars.My curiosity was aroused and I make up my mind to finding out the truth.I gave some small change to him,but he thanked me,nodding with smile.When there was fewer people,the old man told us that he was collecting money to raise some homeless child.Being old,he could not do hard work as before.What a respectable man he was!第二节 书面表达（满分25分）假如你是李华。最近你班同学参加了学校组织的各种“社团活动”。现在，你班正在开班会讨论
