Bulgarian Evgenia Radanova, world record holder and 2002 silver medalist, had to settle for a silver again with a time of 44.374 seconds. Canada's Anouk Leblang-Boucher got the bronze in 44.759 with Chinese Fu Tianyu disqualified for cross tracking.The 20-year-old Wang, who has won four World Cup races over 500m, proved herself as the most consistent short tracker in the world. Her victory helped ease China's pain of losing an expected gold in the women's 500m long-track speed skating when World Cup leader Wang Manli came second to Russia's Svetlana Zhurova on Tuesday. Like China's Athens Olympic champion Liu Xiang, Wang jumped onto the podium and waved excitedly to the cheering crowd. "Until I jumped onto the podium did I know my namehad not yet been announced," Wang said, laughing. "I was just so excited and anxious to get onto the podium."South Koreans Kang Yun-Mi and Jin Sun-Yu, tipped as biggest threats to Chinese skaters before the competition, were edged out in the semifinals.41. Which of the following statements is true?A. Wang Manli had been expected to win the women's 500m long track speed skating but she failedB. Evgenia Radanova became world record holder in 2002.C. Wang Meng won the first gold medal in the Turin Winter OlympicGames.D. Svetlana Zhurova came second together with Wang Manli.42.Why did Wang Meng jumped onto the podium before her name was announced? Because Liu Xiang had done so before.Because she didn't understand the language.Because the cheering crowd wanted her to do so.Because she was so excited and anxious.43. How many skaters are mentioned in this passage?A. 10B. 9C. 11D. 844. Which of the following explanations is closest in meaning with the underlined word “edged out” in the last paragraph?A. forbidden to take partB. kicked outC. chosenD. picked outBWith the number of college graduates climbing to a record high this year—some 2.12 million are entering the job market, an increase of 670,000, or 46.2 percent, over last year, many people are asking if China's first “McDonald's generation", born in the early 1980s,can stand the intense competition and find a place in the job market. They say this will be a test of both China's job market and its carefree younger generation.“Do not worry. We'll get whatever we want"，they tell each other to ease their own anxiety.Born in the early days of the country's reform and opening to the outside world, growing up in the market economy, the youngsters, familiar with McDonald's and Mickey Mouse, love to eat hamburgers, and wear foreign brand jeans and T-shirts and worship Bill Gates. Compared with their parents, they enjoy more freedom in looking for a job—and with that freedom coming burdens.These college graduates are seen scouring recruitment information in newspapers and journals, the Internet and job markets nationwide.Shortly after hotel management major, Hao Wenhua, a young woman from Chongqing in Southwest China, failed the recruitment test of a five star hotel in Guilin, South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. She appeared at a job market in Nanning, approximately 300 kilometers from Guilin, looking rather tired.Many businesses and companies say that they would take on experienced staff rather than the new graduates who are short of the experience of how to succeed in today's fast paced society.45. Which of the following groups of people belongs to China's first McDonald's generation?A. People who were born in the early days of China's reform and opening to the outside world.B. People who like to eat hamburgers and wear foreign brand clothes.C. People who admire Bill Gates.D. People who lack the experience of how to succeed in today's fast changing world.46.What can we infer from the story of Hao Wenhua in the passage? We can infer______ .A. that there are many chances to find jobs in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous RegionB. that hotel management is not a good major in collegeC. that there is intense competition in the job marketD. that many businesses and companies don't like new college graduates47.What is the best title for the passage?A. Fierce Competition in the Job Market.B. McDonald's Generation Has Grown up.C. McDonald's Generation Faces Job Hunting.D. The Number of College Graduates Climbs to the Highest Point.CYour mobile phone rings, and instead of usual electronic signals, it's playing your favorite music. A friend sends you a favorite song to cheer you up. One day, a record company might forward new records and music videos to your phone.The mobile business is getting into the music business. For the moment, the interestis in pleasant ring tones, but some companies are hoping to take full advantage ofthe next generation of mobile phones---all –purpose gadgets that blend phone, personal stereo, video player and Internet browser into one. Finally, record companies might send new records and videos to fans who register their cell phone numbers.The fans could pass music or songs along to friends--- a kind of musical trading card. Unlike Internet tracks, mobile phone downloads would be easy for record companies to control, said former record industry official Ralph Simon, who is now chairman of your mobile, based in Santa Monic, California. “If you pass a song alongto other phones through a network, each phone can be charged,” said Simon. “It'slike going through a toll (收费)gate. There's more possibility for copyright control than there is on the Internet.”Massachusetts-based converse is offering a service in Portugal and the Netherlandsthat let people record tunes on their voice mail or send music as presents to friends. Finally, people might be able to sing karaoke and pass them along. The company is sure that people will want to use music to reach out and touch someone.“A mobile phone is not a listening machine, and you'll be disappointed if you thinkyou can change it into a radio,”said Ohad Ouziel, a creative manager for Conversein Israel. “But if someone sends you a song while you are on vacation, you appreciatethe feeling.”48. The title of this passage should be _______.A. Wonderful Mobile PhonesB. The Music BusinessC. The Internet, A Modern InventionD. Music On Your Phone49.The underlined word “blend” (in Paragraph 2)probably means _______.A. sendB. becomeC. combineD. compare50.Record companies _______ the idea of passing songs and music along mobile phones.A. are worried aboutB. are interested inC. try hard to stopD. take no notice of51.According to Ralph Simon it would be easier to______ through the mobile phone network than on the Internet.A. protect the copyright of music worksB. send personal messagesC. pass music to friendsD. send voice mailDJune 26,2000—the Human Genome Project, a great 3 billion,15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completed. The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging human life. But those communities and policy makers also are careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.For the last few years, the genetic advances in fast developing field of biotechnology(生物学) have provided material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the popular imagination。

unit1 A land of diversityⅠ.阅读理解AAmerican culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions. The major factors contributing to the making of this flew nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity (多民族) and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in the world. What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture.The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America. From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So individualism (个人主义), selfreliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage (遗产) of America.In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times. They brought their own culture to America and later on, different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture is formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values.The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States.Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middleaged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children. The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.语篇解读：这是一篇议论兼说明的文章，向我们说明了美国历史上独特文化形成的原因。

After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools a nd that the “work” they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.Stage schools often act as agencies（代理机构）to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name “stage school” are those few places where children attend full time, with a training for the theatre and a general education.A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all, what lively children wouldn't settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work, and acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 to 80 days.The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don't ma ke it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.1. People would stop feeling uneasy when realizing that the children they're talking to ________.A. attend a stage schoolB. are going to the theatreC. have got some work to doD. love singing and dancing2. In the writer's opinion, a good stage school should ________.A. prod uce star performersB. help pupils improve their study skillsC. train pupils in language and performing artsD. provide a general education and stage training.3. “Profess ional work” as used in the text means ________.A. ordinary school workB. money-making performancesC. stage training at schoolD. acting, singing or dancing after class4. Which of the following best describes how the writer feels about stage schools?A. He thinks highly of what they have to offer.B. He favors an early start in the training of performing arts.C. He feels uncomfortable about children putting on night shows.D. He doubts the standard of ordinary education they have reached.BPlease, pay attention to difference of free registration and paid premium(额外费用)account.

And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement. Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown(方帽长袍).Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(对美国的忠孝宣誓).Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. Then came the core (核心) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. But it wasn't boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.A new page in the book of that person's life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.8. What's the article mainly about?A. An American high school's graduation ceremony.B. The opening ceremony of a sports meeting.C. A presentation of college diplomas.D. A US college's farewell party.9. Which of the following statements about the author is FALSE?A. She was one of the graduates.B. She was a foreign exchange student.C. She was excited to receive her diploma.D. She felt it great to be at the ceremony.10. From the text, we can conclude that_______.A. a diploma ensures a good jobB. a diploma guarantees a bright futureC. the commencement symbolizes the beginning of a new stage in lifeD. everyone felt excited at the presentation of the diplomaIV 单词填空1. There used to be a high _________ (百分比) of babies that died of scarlet fever every year.2.

The species of whales that migrates to Hawaii，coming all the way from Alaska,along the coast of central California,is the Pacific humpback whale（座头鲸）。
Their journey,which is a distance of 3，500 miles，from their summer home to Hawaii takes about 1 to 2 months.The whales form loose and large groups while travelling.The associations they form along the way do not last more than a few days.But one exception is the strong bond that mothers and calves have between each other which lasts for a long time.The warm waters of tropical Hawaii provide ideal conditions for breeding for the humpback。

It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare.They liked camping，but not near this swamp.“So，” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name？”“Are you sure you want to hear it? It's a scary story，”war ned Jack.“Of course！” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of，you wouldn't have chosen this place！”“Ok，but don't say I didn't warn you，” said Jack, and he began his tale.“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. H e built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.”“‘You are clearing too much land，’ warned one old man. ‘The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.’”“‘Silly fool，’ said Dennis to himself.‘If I clear more land，I can grow more crops.I'll become wealthier.He's just jealous！’”“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”“What happened？”Martin asked.It was growing colder.He trembled，twisting his body closer to the fire.“The land hit back—just as the old man warned，”Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged hi m underwater. His body was never found.”“What a stupid story，” laughed Tom. “Plants can't...” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright，staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy(常春藤) had covered Tom's face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.36．The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________.A．courage B．assistanceC．instruction D．challenge37．Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?A．To frighten them.B．To satisfy their curiosity.C．To warn them of the danger of the place.D．To persuade them to camp in the swamp.38．Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man?A．The old man envied him.B．The old man was foolish.C．He was too busy to listen to others.D．He was greedy for more crops.39．Why did Tom scream and faint?A．He saw Dennis's shadow.B．He was scared by a plant.C．His friend played a joke on him.D．The weather became extremely cold.40．What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?A．Grasp all, lose all.B．No sweat, no sweet.C．It is no use crying over spilt milk.D．He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.BFarmers are being told more needs to be done to stop them injuring at work.One in five British workplace deaths happens in agriculture even though farmers are only a small part of the working population.During the year 2010/11 there were 1,061 injuries in total and it is thought many more go unreported.Jim Chapman from Warwickshire had his arm torn off by farm machinery seven years ago when he was 23.“You don't realize how much you rely on your second arm until it's gone，”he said.He fell against a PTO shaft(传动轴)，a spinning metal bar at the back of a tractor.“It catapulted(猛力掷出) me from one side of the machine to the other，”he said.“I landed on the floor，minus all my clothing.My left arm had been ripped_off.”He admits tha t the machinery was missing part of its proper safety guard.“But again，”he added，“it was a rushed day.There were a few machines that didn't work.Also，I was getting behind with the jobs.”Over the last 10 years，other industries that you'd think of as dangerous，like building or quarrying(矿采)，have lowered the number of workplace deaths and injuries.In the farming industry though，deaths remain high with 34 deaths in 2010/11.Judith Hackitt，the chair of the Health and Safety Executive(HSE) says it is “not acceptable” that the accident statistics for farming are stillhigh.“People in farming don't have minor(较小的) injuries.When they get injured，it's bad.”she said.“When I said to the National Farmers' Union(NFU) that if I had sons I would not want them to work in agriculture，it really made them sit up and take notice.”There's a whole host of reasons why farming is as dangerous as it is.It is a very rough industry.Also，it's often because people are left alone.They could be young and inexperienced，or older people，who would have retired maybe 5 or 10 years ago in other industries.Jim wants others to learn from his experience.“Look at what you're doing before you go running in，”he said.“You could make a mistake that you'll live with for the rest of your life.”41．Jim Chapman was injured in the workplace mainly because ________.A．he crossed the machineryB．the safety guard of the machinery was goneC．he was standing at the back of the tractorD．he didn't notice the PTO shaft42．In British farming industry，________.A．farmers take up a large part of working populationB．the number of injuries is bigger than what the public knowC．old machinery was not replaced in timeD．being a farmer is the most dangerous43．Judith thought ________ were (was) not acceptable.A．the injuries of farmersB．the high deaths for farmingC．her son's hope to work in agricultureD．farmers' retiring 5 or 10 years later44．The underlined phrase “ripped off” in paragraph 2 probably means “________” .A．turned off B．got offC．worn off D．torn off45．From the whole text，we can see that Jim feels ________.A．regretful B．angryC．shocked D．confusedC(2013·泰安高二调研)Our culture has caused most Americans to assume not onlythat our language is universal but that the gestures we use are understood by everyone.We do not realize that waving goodbye is the way to summon a person from the Philippines to one's side，or that in Italy and some LatinAmerican countries，curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell.Those private citizens who sent packages to our troops occupying Germany after World War Ⅱ and marked them GIFT to escape duty payments did not bother to find out that“Gift” means poison in German.Moreover，we like to think of ourselves as friendly，yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arm's length away from tins and Middle Easterners like to come closer and touch，which makes Americans uncomfortable.Our linguistic(语言的)and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take notice of the developed tastes，gestures，customs and languages of other countries，are losing our friends，business and respect in the world.Even here in the United States，we make few concessions(让步) to the needs of foreign visitors.There are no information signs in four languages on our public buildings or monuments；we do not have multilingual (多语的) guided tours.Very few restaurant menus have translations，and multilingual waiters，bank clerks and policemen are rare.Our transportation systems have maps in English only and often we ourselves have difficulty understanding them.When we go abroad，we tend to stay in hotels and restaurants where English is spoken.The attitudes and information we pick up are conditioned by those natives—usually the richer—who speak English.Our business dealings，as well as the nation's diplomacy (外交)，are conducted through interpreters.For many years，America and Americans could get by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance.After all，America was the most powerful country of the free world，the distributor(分发者)of needed funds and goods.But all that is past.American dollars no longer buy all good things，and we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the world is changing.A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want this country to play a more significant role in world affairs; we want to have a hand in the important decisions of the next century，even though it may not always be the upper hand.46．It can be inferred that Americans being approached too closely by Middle Easterners would most probably________.A．stand still B．jump asideC．step forward D．draw back47．The author gives many examples to criticize Americans for their ________.A．cultural selfcenterednessB．casual mannersC．indifference toward foreign visitorsD．pride towards other cultures48．In countries other than their own，most Americans ________.A．are isolated by the local peopleB．are not well informed due to the language barrierC．tend to get along well with the nativesD．need interpreters in hotels and restaurants49．According to the author，Americans' cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance will________.A．affect their image in the new eraB．cut themselves off from the outside worldC．limit their role in world affairsD．weaken the position of the US dollar50．The author intends to make Americans realize that it is ________.A．dangerous to ignore their foreign friendsB．important to maintain their leading role in world affairsC．necessary to use several languages in public placesD．time to get familiar with other culturesDWe're in the middle of winter.It's cold and we're suffering from cold wind and rain.The sun，even when it does show its face，is setting at 4 p．m.It's no wonder people in the street look sad.But according to most of the research on the connection between weather and mood(情绪)，they shouldn't be.Weather has little effect on mood.When you tell people this，though，they don't believe it.Most of us think the weather has quite a strong effect on our mood.Many think that the rain and cold weather dejects us and the sun and warmth cheers us up.So why don't we see this effect in the research？That's the question a new study by Klimstra et al.tries to answer with a group of young people and their mothers.Infact，Klimstra et al.found four different groups：1．Unaffected：about half the people in their study fell into this group.For these people it didn't matter that much whether it was raining or sunny，hot or cold，their mood was mostly unaffected.2．Summer lovers：here's the group you'd expect.For these people，their mood improved with less rain，more sun and higher temperatures(15% of young people and 30% of their mothers)．3．Summer haters：here's the group of people you hear less about.These were the exact opposite of the summer lovers so they were happier when there was more rain，less sun and lower temperatures (27% of the young people and 12% of their mothers)．4．Rain haters：this group's mood didn't change with the temperature，sunshine or the wind；they just hated the rain(8% of young people and 12% of their mothers)．This helps explain why studies keep finding that weather doesn't have much effect on mood：it's because we're different and these differences are mostly being averaged out.51.

It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare.They liked camping，but not near this swamp.“So，” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name？”“Are you sure you want to hear it? It's a scary s tory，”warned Jack.“Of course！” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of，you wouldn't have chosen this place！”“Ok，but don't say I didn't warn you，” said Jack, and he began his tale.“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a far m here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.”“‘You are clearing too much land，’ warned one old man. ‘The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.’”“‘Silly fool，’ said Dennis to himself.‘If I clear more land，I can grow more crops.I'll become wealthier.He's just jealous！’”“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”“What happened？”Martin asked.It was growing colder.He trembled，twisting his body closer to the fire.“The land hit back—just as the old man warned，”Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged hi m underwater. His body was never found.”“What a stupid story，” laughed Tom. “Plants can't...” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright，staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy(常春藤) had covered Tom's face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.36．The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________.A．courage B．assistanceC．instruction D．challenge37．Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?A．To frighten them.B．To satisfy their curiosity.C．To warn them of the danger of the place.D．To persuade them to camp in the swamp.38．Why did Tom scream and faint?A．He saw Dennis's shadow.B．He was scared by a plant.C．His friend played a joke on him.D．The weather became extremely cold.39．What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?A．Grasp all, lose all.B．No sweat, no sweet.C．It is no use crying over spilt milk.D．He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.BFarmers are being told more needs to be done to stop them injuring at work.One in five British workplace deaths happens in agriculture even though farmers are only a small part of the working population.During the year 2010/11 there were 1,061 injuries in total and it is thought many more go unreported.Jim Chapman from Warwickshire had his arm torn off by farm machinery seven years ago when he was 23.“You don't realize how much you rely on your second arm until it's gone，”he said.He fell against a PTO shaft(传动轴)，a spinning metal bar at the back of a tractor.“It catapulted(猛力掷出) me from one side of the machine to the other，”he said.“I landed on the floor，minus all my clothing.My left arm had been ripped off.”He admits tha t the machinery was missing part of its proper safety guard.“But again，”he added，“it was a rushed day.There were a few machines that didn't work.Also，I was getting behind with the jobs.”Over the last 10 years，other industries that you'd think of as dangerous，like building or quarrying(矿采)，have lowered the number of workplace deaths and injuries.In the farming industry though，deaths remain high with 34 deaths in 2010/11.Judith Hackitt，the chair of the Health and Safety Executive(HSE) says it is “not acceptable” that the accident statistics for farming are still high.“People in farming don't have minor(较小的) injuries.When they get injured，it's bad.”she said.“When I said to the National Farmers' Union(NFU) that if I had sons I would not want them to work in agriculture，it really made them sit up and take notice.”There's a whole host of reasons why farming is as dangerous as it is.It is a very rough industry.Also，it's often because people are left alone.They couldbe young and inexperienced，or older people，who would have retired maybe 5 or 10 years ago in other industries.Jim wants others to learn from his experience.“Look at what you're doing before you go running in，”he said.“You could make a mistake that you'll live with for the rest of your life.”40．Jim Chapman was injured in the workplace mainly because ________.A．he crossed the machineryB．the safety guard of the machinery was goneC．he was standing at the back of the tractorD．he didn't notice the PTO shaft41．Judith thought ________ were (was) not acceptable.A．the injuries of farmersB．the high deaths for farmingC．her son's hope to work in agricultureD．farmers' retiring 5 or 10 years later42．From the whole text，we can see that Jim feels ________.A．regretful B．angryC．shocked D．confusedCOur culture has caused most Americans to assume not only that our language is universal but that the gestures we use are understood by everyone.We do not realize that waving goodbye is the way to summon a person from the Philippines to one's side，or that in Ital y and some LatinAmerican countries，curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell.Those private citizens who sent packages to our troops occupying Germany after World War Ⅱ and marked them GIFT to escape duty payments did not bother to find out that“Gift” means poison in German.Moreover，we like to think of ourselves as friendly，yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arm's length away from tins and Middle Easterners like to come closer and touch，which makes Americans uncomfortable.Our linguistic(语言的)and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take notice of the developed tastes，gestures，customs and languages of other countries，are losing our friends，business and respect in the world.Even here in the United States，we make few concessions(让步) to the needs offoreign visitors.There are no information signs in four languages on our public buildings or monuments；we do not have multilingual (多语的) guided tours.Very few restaurant menus have translations，and multilingual waiters，bank clerks and policemen are rare.Our transportation systems have maps in English only and often we ourselves have difficulty understanding them.When we go abroad，we tend to stay in hotels and restaurants where English is spoken.The attitudes and information we pick up are conditioned by those natives—usually the richer—who speak English.Our business dealings，as well as the nation's diplomacy (外交)，are conducted through interpreters.For many years，America and Americans could get by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance.After all，America was the most powerful country of the free world，the distributor(分发者)of needed funds and goods.But all that is past.American dollars no longer buy all good things，and we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the world is changing.A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want this country to play a more significant role in world affairs; we want to have a hand in the important decisions of the next century，even though it may not always be the upper hand.43．It can be inferred that Americans being approached too closely by Middle Easterners would most probably________.A．stand still B．jump asideC．step forward D．draw back44．In countries other than their own，most Americans ________.A．are isolated by the local peopleB．are not well informed due to the language barrierC．tend to get along well with the nativesD．need interpreters in hotels and restaurants45．According to the author，Americans' cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance will________.A．affect their image in the new eraB．cut themselves off from the outside worldC．limit their role in world affairsD．weaken the position of the US dollar46．The author intends to make Americans realize that it is ________.A．dangerous to ignore their foreign friendsB．important to maintain their leading role in world affairsC．necessary to use several languages in public placesD．time to get familiar with other culturesDWe're in the middle of winter.It's cold and we're suffering from cold wind and rain.The sun，even when it does show its face，is setting at 4 p．m.It's no wonder people in the street look sad.But according to most of the research on the connection between weather and mood(情绪)，they shouldn't be.Weather has little effect on mood.When you tell people this，though，they don't believe it.Most of us think the weather has quite a strong effect on our mood.Many think that the rain and cold weather dejects us and the sun and warmth cheers us up.So why don't we see this effect in the research？That's the question a new study by Klimstra et al.tries to answer with a group of young people and their mothers.In fact，Klimstra et al.found four different groups：1．Unaffected：about half the people in their study fell into this group.For these people it didn't matter that much whether it was raining or sunny，hot or cold，their mood was mostly unaffected.2．Summer lovers：here's the group you'd expect.For these people，their mood improved with less rain，more sun and higher temperatures(15% of young people and 30% of their mothers)．3．Summer haters：here's the group of people you hear less about.These were the exact opposite of the summer lovers so they were happier when there was more rain，less sun and lower temperatures (27% of the young people and 12% of their mothers)．4．Rain haters：this group's mood didn't change with the temperature，sunshine or the wind；they just hated the rain(8% of young people and 12% of their mothers)．This helps explain why studies keep finding that weather doesn't have much effect on mood：it's because we're different and these differences are mostly being averaged out.47. It's found in the study that ________.A．weather has a strong effect on moodB．cold wind and rain makes us look sadC．the sun and warmth cheers us upD．mood is little affected by weather48. In which group people like dry and hot weather?A．Unaffected. B．Summer lovers.C．Summer haters. D．Rain haters.49．From the four different groups we can learn ________.A．about half the people belong to summer loversB．more than one third of the people are summer hatersC．few of young people and their mothers like the rainD．more young people are unaffected than rain haters50．What is the BEST title for the passage?A．Does the weather really affect your mood?B．Why do people feel sad in cold winter?C．How many different groups are there?D．Do different people have different mood?Ⅳ.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)(2013·新课标全国卷Ⅰ)Business is the organized approach to providing customers with the goods and services they want.The word business also refers to an organization that provides these goods and services.Most businesses seek to make a profit(利润)—that is，they aim to achieve income that is more than the costs of operating the business.51.________ Commonly called nonprofits，these organizations are primarily nongovernmental service providers.52.________Business management is a term used to describe the techniques of planning，direction，and control of the operations of a business.53.________ One is the establishment (制定) of broad basic policies with respect to production；sales；the purchase of equipment，materials and supplies；and accounting.54.________ The third relates to the establishment of standards of work in all departments.Direction is concerned primarily with supervision (监管) and guidance by the management in authority.55.________A．Control includes the use of records and reports to compare actual work with the set standards for work.B．In this connection there is the difference between top management and operative management.C．Examples of nonprofit businesses include such organizations as social service agencies and many hospitals.D．However，some businesses only seek to earn enough to cover their operating costs.E．Planning in business management has three main aspects.F．In the theory of business management，organization has two main aspects.G．The second aspect relates to the application of these policies by departments.Ⅴ.短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)Dear Lucy，Thanks for your letter.I might get use to the life in American gradually.Food here remains the same all day and the school here is more relaxed though I take 2 AP courses and have to catch up with half year's courses.All the books are in English and I have to write many articles，that might seem difficult.Much more worse，I find out my oral English retrograde(倒退的)．I have been out of my school only once，and I guess there are a lot of differences.There are some funny clubs，and I participate the basketball club in this semester.It's amazing.By the way，thank you and all the other classmates in China for making souvenirs(纪念品) for myself.Send it to me when you all finish and I will be very happy.Hope you will reply soon.Yours，Li Hua Ⅵ.书面表达(满分25分)近几年，中国的文化和其他国家的文化呈现融合的趋势。
