The more you have in common with the friend, the more his death will make you wonder about your own. Sometimes you will naturally say to yourself, “It could just as easily have been me.” Such a death has a way of reminding us how fragile （脆弱的）life is, and it may cause you to reassess(重新评价) the direction of your own life.Jacks story is a good example. A successful businessman making a lot of money, Jack didnt spend as much time with his family as he wanted. His job required him to work long hours. But three years ago one of his best friends, a man who worked in the same office, had a heart attack. He died while celebrating his daughters eighteenth birthday in a restaurant. He was only fifty years old.Not long after his friends death, Jack started to have a chest pain. Finally he had a good physical check-up. He received a clean bill of health. But the chest pain continued. He kept thinking of the death of his friend. Jack thought about how much his friend missed in life and he saw how hard it was for his friends family to manage after he passed away.Jack realized that he didnt want to end up his life that way. He talked his feelings over with his wife and children, and decided to change his way of life. The family moved to a small town where he started a simple life. Now he is running a small art gallery(画廊). He is relaxed, and says he has never been so happy in his life. And he has got no more chest pain.56. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph means “_”.A. The doctor didnt write a word on his billB. The doctor didnt want Jack to pay for the billC. The doctor didnt find anything wrong with himD. The doctor didnt want to treat his pain57. His friends death made Jack _.A. lose much interest in lifeB. realize that he missed the friend very muchC. doubt his way of lifeD. ill for some time58. While living in the small town Jack _.A. earns less money B. gets more timeC. has a happier life D. does all these mentionedBFluency(流利) in another language is one of the most important aims of a newcomer to another country. In addition, understanding the culture and learning to communicate comfortably with people of that culture are as important as learning the rules of the language. Language learning and culture learning go together and may take a long time. Sometimes people feel that they understand a culture after a few weeks or months. People do learn a lot when they first begin living in another culture, but this is only the first stage of learning. It usually involves(含包) things like learning everyday activities and some basic customs. To really understand another culture, people have to go beyond the first stage, This is challenge because it is often difficult to know what to learn. Much of what we call “culture” is hard to see. Culture is like an iceberg. Picture in your mind a huge iceberg in the ocean. The only part of the iceberg that you see is the tip. You dont see the rest of the iceberg because it is hidden from sight in the water. It is easy to forget that it is there. Most of the iceberg is deep within the ocean, just as much of a culture is deep within its people. When you meet someone from another culture， certain culture differences are obvious: You hear another language or you hear your own language spoken with an accent. You see different foods, clothes and sometimes physical characteristics of people. You observe new customs or habits, such as the use of chopsticks, and, bowing or kissing on both cheeks as a greeting. These differences are interesting and important, but they are usually not too difficult to understand. They are visible so they are seen easily and quickly. The part of culture that is like the underwater part of the iceberg consists of assumptions(设想), communication styles, values, and beliefs about what is right and wrong. The hidden part of culture affects much of a persons way of thinking and communicating. It is the meaning behind his or her verbal (言语的) and nonverbal language. Learning to communicate well with people from another culture involves becoming aware of the hidden part of culture.59.What is learning about culture? A. Learning the hidden part of the iceberg, which is underwater. B. Learning everyday activities and some basic customs. C. Learning the culture of an iceberg. D. Learning the visible as well as the hidden differences of culture.60.Whats the writers opinion? A. Communication styles can be easily seen and learned. B. Language learning is more important than culture learning. C. Learning about culture is not easy and may take a long time. D. People usually learn a culture after a few weeks or months.61.The underlined phrase “consists of” can be replaced by “_”. A. lies in B. is made up of C. agrees with D. is different from62.What conclusion can we draw after reading this passage? A. Values and beliefs are like the tip of the iceberg. B. People often become aware of the hidden part of culture. C. The tip of the iceberg is larger than the hidden part. D. The hidden part of culture has a great effect on peoples communication styles.CHow hard we have all prayed(祈祷) to grow up quickly, and looked forward to the happy days of being a grown-up and enjoying the many interests that a youth should have. At last, you have grown up. At least you are no longer a child. They call you “young lady”. You then enjoy the pleasure of being a young lady. You are proud of being a grown-up teenager. People welcome you-this young lady-heartily. You are glad that your prayer has been answered. But there is always something that troubles you a lot. You say; “Papa and Mama, give me some money please. My pocket money is all gone already.”“No”, they say, “your age is a dangerous age. If you have too much money to spend, it wont do you any good.” Then you have to stay at home because you dare not go out with an empty pocket. Another time you tell your grandma, “Grandma, see, I am a grown-up now.”“Good, now, you can sit here and knit (编织) this for me while I go and have a rest.” To show that you are no more a child, you have to sit there the whole afternoon doing the work, which only a grown-up can do. After an hour, you find it hard to do, and give the knitting basket back to your grandma. Your grandma criticizes your work. You hear what she says, “Such a big girl cant do such easy work.” You wish then you were a child again. But the fact is, you are growing up, and you cant help it. Thats the way it goes!63.The passage is told about _ problems. A. a growing-up boys B. a teenage girlsC. an old womans D. a grown-ups64.It is clear that the writer, as a teenager, _. A. is pleased with the present lifeB. is unhappy about growing up C. doesnt think her, present life happy enoughD. knows happy life will come to her soon65.How does she know her prayer has been answered?

A. she has to lie in bed, doing nothing B. she knows she has already worked the whole afternoon C. she wishes she were not growing up D. she finds it isnt her turnto do knittingDA newspaper reporters job can be very interesting. He meets all types of people and lives quite a busy life. He is on the rush for news all the time, then after several years he may get a desk job, and life becomes a bit more settled. Lets look at his work a little more closely. In a day he may have to interview the prime minister of a foreign country, and the next day he may be writing about a football match. Sometimes he may be so busy that he has hardly any time to sleep. And at other times he may go on for days looking out for news materials yet return empty-handed.In the beginning, a reporter has to cover a very wide field. After the early years he becomes more specialized in his work. For example, he may finally be asked to write only on court cases or politics or sports. Some reporters may become so specialized that they are asked only to write on a special thing: horse racing, for example. In most newspaper houses there is at least one special racing correspondent. Some newspapers have book reviews. Their job is delightful. They read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they like. Then there are those who write on films, so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema. How lucky, you would say!A reporters job can also be very dangerous. A number of them have died rushing from one assignment to another, and if there is a flood or a riot(暴乱) they may get hurt or even be killed. Three years ago there was a reporter whose camera was smashed by a group of men, because they were angry with him for taking their picture. Dangerous or not, one thing is certain, and that is, their job is never dull!67. What does the underlined phrase “on the rush” mean in the passage?A. on the beach B. in a hurry C. on the spotD. in no time68. Reporters who write on films are said to be lucky because they _.A. can see the films before most people see them in the cinemaB. can see more film starsC. can pay less than other peopleD. can write anything they like69. A reporters work becomes dangerous when _.A. there is a flood or a riotB. there is an interview with the prime ministerC. there is a football matchD. he is seeing a horror film70. From the passage we can infer that, to be a good reporter, he must be all of thefollowing except _.A. brave B. strong C. quick in mind D. well-informed第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。讲你的答案涂在答题卡上相应的位置，注意涂答方法，E=AB； F=AC; G=AD, 也就是说你选了E，就在答题卡上相应的题号下涂AB,以此类推。A major source of teen(青少年的) stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon.
