Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp. It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it wasdifficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn't work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry.'I'm sorry, sir,' said the first soldier. 'I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.'And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier's turn. He said, 'I'm sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…'Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, 'If you say something was wrong with your bus, I'll punish you at once!''No, no, sir,' said the young man. 'My bus was all right, but the dead horses were in its way!'21.

Language, of course, is very important, but it is only half the problem.When we are doing business with people of other cultures, there are always rules that we cannot notice easily. And this often results in making mistakes which will make our foreign friends unhappy.In the West, business cards are given a quick look and put into the pocket. In Japan, they are highly regarded, looked at carefully and left on the table during a business meeting.In Britain, most business meetings would include a joke. In many other countries, this would be very rare.Small talk and relationship building are considered very important in some parts of the world; people talk about the weather, the wine and other small things before they begin to talk about business. In other places, people get down to business immediately.26.

Which of the following may be the best topic for this text?A. How Japanese People Do BusinessB. Language and CultureC. Culture and BusinessD. How Western People Do Business Passage ThereQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passageMillions of stars are travelling about in space. A few form groups which journey together, but most of them travel alone. And they travel through a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbor. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere neat it. We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering(漫游) through space, happened to come near our sun, Just as the sun and the moon raise tides(潮汐)on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun .But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; a large tidal wave must have travelled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance(动荡) came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space.These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets(行星).31. Millions of stars are _______________.A. following a regular path in spaceB. moving about without a fixed courseC. seldom wandering about in the universeD. always travelling together32. Some two thousand million years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because __________.A. a large tidal wave of a star travelled over the surface of the sunB. another star happened to come near the sunC. the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earthD. the star moved away from the sun33. The article suggests that _____________ .A. our earth exists before the sunB. how space formedC. no one knows where the earth comes fromD. our earth used to be a high mountain on the sun34. The expression 'the cause of the disturbance' refers to _________.A. the large tidal waveB. the powerful tidal pullC. the star coming near the sunD. one of the sun's planets35. In this article, the writer mainly wants to tell the readers __________.A. that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine itB. how the high mountains were formed on the sunC. why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerfulD. where the planets in the universe came fromⅣ.Word Spelling(10 points，1 point for two words)将下列汉语单词译成英语。
