AA few days ago, I was sitting in a Thai restaurant enjoying a meal when I got on a phone call from a friend I hadn’t spoken to in a long time. In my enthusiasm and excitement, I talked quite louder than usual voice and in Spanish, my mother tongue.A few minutes into the call, an old lady sitting at the table beside mine got up, seemingly offended, and asked the restaurant staff to relocate(重新安排) a table as far away as possible from this man who seemed to be impolite.I sank in my seat out of embarrassment. I ended the call soon afterwards and felt the urge to apologize. Before getting up, I looked around to see where she was and she was at the table farthest away from me. I noticed that the lady was alone and staring out the window. I found a tinge (气息) of sadness or anxiety and perhaps a desire for aloneness and peace. But I had obviously destroyed it minutes earlier.Right then I abandoned my plan for a conventional apologetic gesture. Seeing those funny smile cards in my wallet, I took one out and wrote some words to express my apology. On signing my restaurant bill, I asked a waiter to secretly charge the lady’s meal to me and hand her the smile card instead of her bill.Did she take it the wrong way, I wondered? Did she get confused? Did she refuse the anonymous offer? And so on. I just waited and felt nervous to learn the outcome. To my pleasant surprise, things turned out the best possible way.The waiter approached me in a joy, telling me, “In the many times she had dined here before, I had never seen the old lady smile as she did when receiving the smile card and the $0 bill. She thanked me even though I explained that someone else did the job.”26. The old lady changed her seat mainly because of __________.A. her private phone callB. the author’s loud voiceC. the views out of the windowD. the restaurant staff’s mistake27. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. The author didn’t stop talking though he felt embarrassed.B. The author went up to the old lady and apologized to her.C. The old lady just moved to the farthest table to see outside.D. The lady didn’t have a nice mood and liked to stay alone.28. Feeling sorry, the author offered the old lady the following ECEPT __________.A. an apologetic gestureB. a smile cardC. a free mealD. some written words to apologize29. Why did the author say, “… t hings turned out the best possible way”?A. Because the waiter became joyful.B. Because the old lady forgave him.C. Because he didn’t need to pay the bill.D. Because someone else did the job for him.30. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A. A Misunderstanding Caused by Different CulturesB. An Unpleasant Experience in ThailandC. A Smile Card for a Sincere ApologyD. An Old Lady Who Never SmilesBThis Valentine’s Day, millions of people will exchange heart-shaped gifts of all kinds, from candy to cards. But did you know that the human heart does not actually look like the typical valentine shape?According to heart specialist Dr. Robert DiBianco, we can learn more about this important organ. “The human heart is about the size of a fist. Because the heart is a muscle with lots of blood supplied to it, it looksyellow fat.”In the United States, children are taught to place their hands over their hearts when pledging allegiance to the flag. Most people have heard that the heart is on the left side of the chest. In reality, the heart is in the middle of the chest, tucked snugly between the two lungs.And what does the heart actually do? DiBianco explained that the heart is a pump that pushes blood throughout the body by expanding and contracting.“Each living part of the body needs blood to live, and that’s why it’s important for the blood to go to different parts of the body,” DiBianco said.When you’re exercising, it takes your blood about ten seconds to get from your heart to your big toe and back, much quicker than usual. In fact, a kid’s heart has to push bl ood through about 60,000 miles (96,560 kilometers) of blood vessels, which is long enough to circle the Earth two and a half times! When the kid grows, his or her blood vessels grow, too. So all that pumping takes a lot of effort. To push blood, an average heart beats a hundred thousand times a day. That means that in a lifetime, the average human heart will beat more than two and a half billion times.31. If you are too heavy, your heart may __________.A. be like the valentine shapeB. look yellow with the fatC. change the color and the shapeD. become much bigger than your fist32. According to Dr. Robert DiBianco, the heart is usually __________.A. on the left side of the chestB. on the right side of the chestC. in the middle of the chestD. under the two lungs33. The underlined expression “expanding and contracting” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to__________.A. giving and takingB. beating and pausingC. becoming faster and slowerD. getting bigger and smaller34. What can we learn from Paragraph 6?A. Doing exercise will make blood flow faster.B. A kid has longer blood vessels than an adult.C. The more a heart beats, the healthier its owner will be.D. A heart pushes blood through about 60,000 miles in a lifetime.35. What is the passage mainly about?A. Characteristics and functions of human heart.B. The hearts of different kinds of people.C. Suggestions on protecting our hearts.D. The misunderstandings on human heart.CI used to think of myself as a person learned in books, but my bookshelves told a different story. Apart from a few Indian novels and an Australian book, my literature collection only consisted of British and American titles. Worse still, I couldn’t ever found anything in translation. My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking authors.So, at the start of 2012, I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing.With no idea where to get those books, I was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop, so I decided to ask the readers all over the world for help. I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English.The response was amazing. People all over the world were getting in touch with me, offering ideas and book lists. Some posted me books from their home countries. In addition, several writers, like Turkmenistan’s Ak Welsapar and Panama’s Juan David Morgan, se nt me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works unavailable in Britain. Even with such an extraordinary team of bibliophiles(爱书者) behind me, however, sourcing books was no easy task. With translations making up only around 4.5 per cent of literary works published in the U, getting English versions of stories was tricky.One by one, the books from the countries on the list filled my heart with laughter, love, anger, hope and fear. Lands that had once seemed exotic and remote became close and familiar to me. At its best, I learned, reading makes the world real.36. The author realized she was not a learned person when she found ________.A. she could do nothing but read booksB. she had never been to Indian and AustralianC. she didn’t have any translated books.D. she could only read simple English stories37. What was the challenge the author set for herself?A. Reading books from nearly 200 countries in a year.B. Creating a blog to offer help to other readers.C. Looking for publications to publish her own books.D. Giving some suggestions on learning English.38. Which of the following is NOT the help from people around the world?A. Offering book names.B. posting local booksC. Giving financial supportsD. Sending unpublished translations39. It was not easy to find the books mainly because ________.A. the readers were unwilling to offer helpB. there were too few translations in the UC. the author had no time and no chance to do itD. the writers didn’t want to publish their books40. We can infer that by reading the books from other countries, the author feels ________.B. thankful and pitifulC. calm and peacefulD. satisfied and rewardedDA report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly，courteous and helpful most Americans were to them. To be fair，this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians，and should best be considered North American. There are，of course，exceptions. Small-minded officials，rude waiters，and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US. Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment. For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence.Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion，and brought news of the outside world. The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality.Someone traveling alone，if hungry，injured，or ill，often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement. It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers. It reflected the harshness of daily life：if you didn‘t take in the stranger and take care of him，there was no one else who would. And someday，remember，you might be in the same situation. Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler. Yet，the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US，especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails. “I w as just traveling through，got talking with this American，and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner—amazing.” Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon，but are not always understood properly.The casual friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neither as superficial nor as artificial，but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition. As is true of any developed society，in America a complex set of cultural signals，assumptions，and conventions underlies all social interrelationships. And，of course，speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns. Visitors who fail to “translate” cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. For example，when an American uses the word “friend”，the cultural implications of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor‘s language and culture. It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to distinguish between courteous convention and individual interest. Yet，being friendly is a virtue that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.41.In the eyes of visitors from the outside world，___________.A. rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the USB. small-minded officials deserve a serious commentC. Canadians are not so friendly as their neighborsD. most Americans are ready to offer help42.It could be inferred from the last paragraph that ___________.A. culture exercises an influence over social interrelationshipB. courteous convention and individual interest are interrelatedC. various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friendsD. social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions43.Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers ___________.A. to improve their hard lifeB. in view of their long-distance travelC. to add some flavor to their own daily lifeD. out of a charitable impulse44.The tradition of hospitality to strangers ___________.A. tends to be superficial and artificialB. is generally well kept up in the united StatesC. is always understood properlyD. has something to do with the busy tourist trails45.What‘s the author’s attitudes toward the American‘s friendliness？A. Favorable.B. Unfavorable.C. Indifferent.D. Neutral.第二节信息匹配(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10 分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
