阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
When traveling, it’s important to learn about the customs and etiquette of the global village. What we consider polite behavior at home isn't always accepted outside our borders.
● Etiquette of Gift Giving
Gift giving should be a happy, positive experience. When selecting a present for someone in Netherlands, don't purchase fancy kitchen knives or scissors. Giving sharp, pointy objects as gifts is considered unlucky. Be careful when presenting flowers to a friend or a business partner in Russia. Yellow blooms suggest cheat or a relationship break up. Traditionally, red carnations are placed on the tombs of the dead. Writing cards or notes while visiting South Korea, be mindful of your pen's ink color. Writing a person's name in red ink traditionally suggests that the person has passed away－an important point to remember when giving a birthday card.
● Eating Customs
Being early or on time is viewed as being rude, too eager or even greedy in Venezuela. If you are invited to someone's home for a meal, it's recommended that you arrive 10 minutes later than the requested time. When having a meal in Egypt, don’t use the salt shaker (盐瓶). It's insulting to your host to spread salt on your food, which means that you find the meal terrible. Japan is a very polite nation, and their fondness for etiquette extends to the use of chopsticks. According to Japanese custom, if you're in the middle of eating, use the opposite end of your chopsticks to secure food from a shared plate. When doing business in Turkey, it’s the custom for your host to pay for your meal. Requests to split the bill won’t be accepted. If you would like to pay your fair share, Turks recommend inviting your host to a follow-up meal.
21. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Giving a fancy kitchen knife to a friend from Russia is a good choice.
B. You can use blue ink to write notes to your friend from South Korea.
C. Dining with Japanese, one can use either end of the chopsticks to get food from shared plates.
D. Invited to a meal, one should arrive earlier to show respect for the host.
22. What does the underlined word “insulting” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Respectful. B. Challenging. C. Indifferent. D. Offensive.
23. Where is this passage probably from?
A. A news report. B. A travel essay.
C. A culture column. D. A food magazine.
B
I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don’t know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn’t want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.
I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. "Do you have kids?" he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes were filled with tears. I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.
24. What do we know about the man from the passage?
A. He had lost contact with his family.
B. He had been forbidden to smoke.
C. He had been searched.
D. He had killed someone.
25. Why did the man want to smoke cigarettes?
A. Because he was sure he was to be killed.
B. Because he wanted the guard to set him free.
C. Because he wanted to ease his nervousness.
D. Because he was a regular heavy smoker.
26. What can we infer from the story?
A. The guard freed him in the prison.
B. The man smiled to please the guard.
C. The guard set the man free with permission.
D. The man was surprised to be set free.
27. What is the most important factor in saving the man’s life?
A. The smile. B. The cigarette. C. The tears. D. The wallet.
C
Since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest, Mount Qomolangma’s peak is no longer a lonely place and is turning into a trash heap.
So far, more than 350 climbers have successfully reached the peak. And they have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks (狭窄路段) on the way to the peak, a situation that isn’t just uncomfortable — it’s cold and windy up there — but downright dangerous. If bad weather strikes, climbers can and do die.
As a matter of fact, the dangerous crowds aren’t the only problem on Qomolangma. All those climbers need to bring a lot of gear—and much of them ends up being left on the mountain, sometimes even the peak itself. Mount Qomolangma is becoming the world’s largest dump. Here’s mountaineer Mark Jenkins writing in National Geographic about the state of Qomolangma: “The two standard routes, the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge, are disgustingly polluted with oxygen cans and torn tents everywhere.”
But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking it upon themselves to clean up Qomolangma. Mountianeer Paul Thelen and his friend Eberhard Schaaf are part of the annual Eco Everest Expedition, which has been cleaning up rubbish from base camps to the peak since 2008. So far they’ve collected over 13 tons of garbage.
Some of that rubbish is even being used for a higher purpose. As part of the Mount Everest 8844 Art Project, a group of 15 artists from Nepal collected 1.5 tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers. They’ve transformed the cans and oxygen tanks—and in one case, part of the remains of a helicopter—into 74 pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepal’s capital. Part of the profit from sales will go to the Everest Peakeers Association, which has helped collect tons of rubbish on the slopes of the mountain.
28. What do we learn about the bottlenecks on the way to Mount Qomolangma’s peak?
A. They are relatively safe.
B. They are often crowded.
C. They are very easy to pass.
D. They are sites of base camps.
29. What does the underlined word “gear” mean?
A. Equipment for climbing mountains.
B. The food climbers brought onto the mountain.
C. Some important machines used for the bottlenecks.
D. Some rubbish found on the mountain.
30. The group of 15 Nepali artists_________.
A. created works of art using rubbish from Qomolangma
B. were employed by the Everest Peakeers Association
C. climbed Qomolangma and collected 1.5 tons of trash
D. painted 74 beautiful pictures of Mount Qomolangma’s peak
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Eco Everest Expedition Proves Successful
B. Qomolangma Has Become A Huge Mess
C. Test Yourself Against Qomolangma
D. Recycle Rubbish On Qomolangma
D
Students from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的）shoes they designed and created.[学&科&]
Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175-foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones, who wore oversized boat-like shoes，also won last year and will receive $ 500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves, Materials and Methods Construction Class. “It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that,” Canaves
said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”
A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9-year-old girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67-year-old female.
A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.
“A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better,” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.
“Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research，test it and go through the design process seriously.”
32. For what purpose did the students take part in the race?
A. To go across the lake to school.
B. To test their balance on the water.
C. To pass Professor Canaves’ class.
D. To win the prize money of $ 500.
33. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The students wore shoes distributed by Professor Canaves to walk across the lake.
B. The students who fell into the water were criticized seriously by the Professor.
C. Most students finished the class assignment successfully.
D. The students took part in the race to challenge their physical abilities.
34. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Alex Quinones is a top student in the university.
B. It’s a custom for the people in the community to get involved in student activities.
C. The student who made it to the end in the race would succeed in their professional
career.
D. Professor Canaves attaches importance to hands-on learning experience.
35. The purpose of the passage is to ___________.
A. show his approval of the unique teaching style
B. report an interesting assignment
C. inspire teachers to be more creative
D. encourage more people to take part in the race
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。
Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience, fear may top the list. 36 . Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter -- like following our dreams, and developing important relationships. I have some ideas, though, of how to be free from fear.
l Experience fear.
I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people. I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn't be able to eat. However, each time I spoke, I noticed afterwards that it wasn't that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind. 37 .
l Create space.
The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it. 38 . In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the "fight or flight(逃避)" response in the body.
l Control the breath and feel the fear.
Once we acknowledge the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breathing so that
it becomes slower and gentler. We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests(展现) in the body. 39 .
With practice, we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we're able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one. 40 . For instance, before I get up to speak in front of a group of people, I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully.
A. Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists.
B. We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we're about to do.
C. Fear, if left uncontrolled, can even destroy our life.
D. So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear.
E. When we can see a positive outcome in our mind, fear no longer holds us back.
F. But fear is more than just physically unpleasant.
G. As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear, we can see fear objectively.

45．解析 商量解决问题的目的当然是使生活更幸福，因此答案选happier。答案 A
46．解析 由“So each of them went to a ____7____ room and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other”可知，丈夫同意了妻子的提议。答案 D

63. that 。此处是so…that…句型。句意为：但是我们常常眷恋着那道关上了的门，而看不见另一道已经为我们打开了的门。
64. who。引导定语从句，先行词是someone，在定语从句中做主语，指人，故用who。
65. what。引导表语从句并在从句中作表语，故用连接代词what。
66. happiest。由后文的the best of…可知，这里用形容词最高级，表示“最幸福的人”。
67. necessarily。修饰动词have，做状语，要用副词。
68. comes。由前面的have，make等谓语动词可知，用一般现在时；又因该定语从句中的主语that是替代先行词everything的，而everything是第三人称单数，故填comes。
69. forgotten。因past在这里是名词，前面需要定语；又因past与forget是被动关系，故用过去分词forgotten做定语。
70. around。表示“在……周围”，用介词around。

Dear Sir or Madam,
In an advertisement I know that your company is in need of a temporary interpreter. I would like to apply for the job.
Having learned English for ten years, I can well manage it. I took great interest in English from early years, which must contribute greatly to my English level. Thanks to my fluent spoken English, I’ll be equal to the job. I once participated in an English speaking contest and finished first place and that proved my perfect oral English and enhanced my confidence. Besides, I’m outgoing and like communicating with others, and as a result, I make friends with people from all walks of life. I can keep a calm mind even facing strangers, which may assure me to be a qualified interpreter.
In a word, I’m full self-confident that I can get the position and do it well.
Thank you for your consideration. I wish to get your answer soon.
Yours faithfully
Li Hua
