Faces, like fingerprints are unique. Did you 11 wonder how it is possible for us to 12 people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the 13 that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-- 14 an animal, such as a cat----can learn to recognize faces. We all 15 this ability for granted. We also tell people 16 by observing how they behave .When we talk about someone's personality, we mean the 17 in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks or feels that 18 that individual different from others.
Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone's personality 19 words is somewhat easier than 20 his face.

英语二（10－12）单元过关考试及答案第 2 页（共 8 页）
new language. How can you help yourself learn a new language, such as English? There are several steps to make learning English a little easier and more interesting.
The first step is to feel positive about learning English. If you believe that you can learn, you will learn. Be patient. You do not have to understand everything all at once. It is natural to make mistakes when you learn something new. We can learn from our mistakes. In other words, do not worry about taking risks.
The second stop is to practice your English. For example, write a diary every day. You will get used to writing in English, and you will feel comfortable expressing your ideas in English. After several weeks, you will see that your writing is improving. In addition, you must speak English every day. You can practice with your classmates outside class. You will all make mistakes, but gradually you will become comfortable communicating in English.
The third step is to keep a record of your language learning. You can write this in your diary. After each class, think about what you did. Did you answer a question correctly? Did you understand something the teacher explained? Perhaps the lesson was difficult, but you tried to understand it. Write these in your diary.
You must be positive about learning English and believe that you can do it. It is important to practice every day and make a record of your achievements. You will enjoy learning English, and you will have more confidence in yourself.

Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
You may have the business qualifications(合格证明). You have an excellent record of good education and work experience. However, without good business manners you will not succeed.
Treating people with respect should be second nature to you. It helps you get on well with the people you work with and with your bosses. It always pays to be polite. Here are some tips to help improve your business manners.
If you are behind schedule, remember to take the time to contact your next appointment so that the person you are due to meet is aware of the delay. If necessary, you should rearrange the meeting for a more convenient time.
Try not to leave any caller on hold for too long. It is better to tell someone you will call back when you are free. Be sure to return calls as soon as you can. If you cannot return the call immediately, apologize(道歉) to the caller for the delay.
Try to respond to letters within a set time. Keep a record of requests for reply within a certain time. Make a note in your diary of other deadlines(最后期限)for your work. If you are unable to respond quickly, write a short letter to the other person to explain the delay and tell him when you will reply.
If you want to take a customer or a business friend out for lunch, you had better choose the restaurant and let your guest choose the time.
You may think that you are not being paid as much as you should be. Do not discuss the matter with your colleagues. A good way is to contact an employment agency to find out the 'going rate'. Armed with this objective information, you can discuss your salary with your boss.

Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
The journey two divers made some time ago to the very
deepest point on the earth makes us realize how much of the world still remains to be discovered. The two men went down seven miles to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean inside a small steel ball to find out if there are any ocean currents or signs of life.
It was necessary to set out early, so that the ball would come to the surface in daylight, and be e easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began preparations early in the morning and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappeared under the surface of the water.
The divers felt as if they were going down steps as they passed through warm and cold layers of water. In time, the temperature dropped to freezing point. They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone telling how they felt. Then at a depth of 3,000 feet, the telephone stopped working and they were cut off from the outside world. All went well until some four hours later at 30,000 feet, the men were frightened by a loud, cracking noise: even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant death. Luckily, though, it was only one of the outer windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the ball touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of "dust" made up of small dead sea-creatures. Here, powerful lights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled by the great water-pressure. But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long, as the heat from them would make the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and the faint but clear voices of the divers were heard on the mother ship seven miles away. After a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up, arriving three hours later, cold and wet through, but none the worse for their experience.
31. A diver is a person _____.
A. who studies plants and animals living underwater
B. who works under water in a special dress
C. who usually hides himself inside a small steel ball
D. whose job is to drive underwater vessels
32. The purpose of the two divers' journey to the deepest point on the earth is ___.
A. to see if humans can stand the severe cold at the bottom of the ocean
B. to investigate which part of the Pacific Ocean is the deepest
C. to make sure that there are no signs of life in the great depths
D. to find out if there are any ocean currents or living creatures there
33. The telephone stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet ____.
A. Where the warm and cold layers of water were divided
B. and thus the divers lost contact with their mother ship
C. and the temperature immediately dropped to freezing point
D. when a loud, cracking noise was suddenly heard inside the ball
34. The telephone began working again ___.
A. after the steel ball reached the bottom of the ocean
B. as soon as the divers went down to the depth of 30,000 feet
C. shortly after one of the outer windows had broken
D. just before the steel ball touched the soft ocean floor
35. On the ocean floor, the divers found that ______.
A. there was no life but small dead sea-creatures
B. fish were swimming as freely as they did near the surface
C. fish did not dare to come near the powerful lights
D. all the living creatures had a hard time under the high water-pressure

Ⅶ在回夏威夷的漫长旅途中，孩提时的记忆潮水般地涌上我的心头。

那时我三岁，还是父亲的影子。

父亲在镇上一所中学教书，每当他穿行于种植园中间的香蕉树中间时，我就在他身后奔跑。

跑累了，父亲就让我坐在他的肩膀上，坐在他的肩膀上我能看到很远很远。

父亲唱着：“你是我的阳光，我唯一的阳光。

”“当我的天空充满阴霾时，你让我快乐。

”我大笑着，理所应当地享受着这
份父爱。

现在“浪子”要回家了，怀中抱着他们的长孙－一个长着淡褐色眼睛，拥有一半
白人血统的黄皮肤婴儿，这与他的中国老祖宗几乎毫不相似。

父亲会有什么反应？如果他不喜欢，就像不喜欢现在的我一样，我们之间的关系就会彻底破
裂，我将永远不回来。
