In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride.
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.
Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the kindness I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.
24. The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because .
A. the town was far away from Sydney
B. she missed the only train back home
C. her work delayed her trip to Sydney
D. she was going home for her holidays
25. Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2?
A. He bought sandwiches for the girl.
B. He watched the girl for three hours.
C. He helped the girl find a ride.
D. He gave the girl a ride back home.
26. The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that .
A. she was going to the nearby town
B. she wanted to repay the kindness she once got
C. she realized he was Gordon
D. she had known him for decades
27. What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?
A. Good manners bring about happiness.
B. People should offer free rides to others.
C. Giving sometimes produces nice results.
D. Those who give rides are sure to be repaid.
C
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser
degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries, like the UK or France, people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafe rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion, instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values, however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
28. What’s the probable meaning of the underlined word “emphasize”?
A. To draw special attention to. B. To ignore.
C. To laugh at. D. To get close to.
29. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _____.
A. the English prefer to make long speeches
B. too many words are of no use
C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
D. even talk and silence can be culturally different
30. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?
A. By sharing different ways of life.
B. By accepting different habits.
C. By recognizing different values.
D. By speaking each other’s languages.
31. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Multicultural Environment. B. Cross-Cultural Differences.
C. How to Understand Each Other. D. How to Build Up a Relationship.
D
Car companies are developing vehicles that will plug into electric sockets(电源插座), just like many laptops, digital cameras, cell phones and MP4 do. Called “plug-in vehicles”, these cars will get most of their power from electricity. Their drivers won’t have to stop at gas stations as often as usual.
The technology is more than just cool. In our car-filled world, plug-in vehicles could reduce the amount of gas we use, which keeps rising in cost now and then. Besides, driving around in these vehicles may even help the environment. Gas-burning cars produce a lot of greenhouse gas, which causes global warming.
The first company-produced plug-in vehicles could hit the roads by 2020. But engineers still have a lot of work to do to make the technology practical and inexpensive.
Batteries are the biggest challenge. In the plug-in-vehicle world, Li-ion(锂离子)batteries are getting the most attention. These batteries can store a large amount of energy in a small package, and they last a longer time between charges. Li-ion batteries can fit laptops, cell phones, heart instruments and other similar pocket ones.
But because cars are so big and heavy, it would still require a suitcase-sized Li-ion batteries to power about 12km of driving. What’s more, the batteries are much expensive.
“A car filled with batteries could go a long distance,” says Ted Bohn, an electrical engineer in Chicago. “But it couldn’t pull any people, and it would cost $100,000.” So researchers need to work out how to make batteries smaller and cheaper, among other questions.
“The answers don’t exist yet.” Bohn says, “As a kid, I thought someone someplace knows the answer to everything. All of these questions haven’t been decided. But that’s what engineering is about--making a guess, running tests and getting fine results.”
32. According to the passage, the main problem of the new car is ______________.
A. the developing B. the speed
C. the appearance D. the batteries
33. Which is true according to the passage?
A. The “plug-in vehicles” will use electricity completely as driving power.
B. The new technology will help protect our environment.
C. The technology of using electricity as driving is quite practical now.
D. The biggest challenge of the new technology is that it will cost us more energy.
34. How does Bohn feel about the future of the technology according to the last paragraph?
A. Confident B. Puzzled.
C. Worried. D. Disappointed.
35. According to the passage, the new technology is facing the problems EXCEPT that_______.
A. the new technology cannot come into use at present
B. the cost of the new technology is quite high
C. the government won’t support the technology
D. the size of the batteries is too big at present

Dear Lisa,
I'm Li Hua, one of your students in China. It’s almost a month since you left us. We all miss you and are very grateful for what you did for us. We are busy as usual. We had an English speech contest the other day. I won the first prize! This again reminds me of all your kind help. Do you still remember the trees we planted together on the hill behind the school? Yesterday, we went there and watered them. The tree you planted yourself is growing well, and the whole class decided to name it Lisa. Will you come back to see Lisa?
How is everything with you lately? We hope to know more about and your American students. Hope to keep in close touch.
All the best
Yours,
Li Hua

W: You can have some fruit for dessert. If you eat an apple, I might let you have a small piece of chocolate cake. (1)

W: Well, Tom finished two hours earlier than me. (2)

W: Do you think it’s serious, doctor? Will I have to stay home from school?
M: I doubt it. Take two of these pills every morning, and come back to see me in two weeks. (3)

W: Don’t turn the dishwasher on! The baby just fell asleep. I need a break! I’m exhausted from cooking soup and baking cookies all morning. (4)
M: Oh! I’ll run it later, then. Let’s sit outside and read while she sleeps.

W: Where are you going to take your vacation?
M: Hawaii.
W: That sounds like a great place to visit. Is your family going?
M: Yes. We plan to go mountain climbing, fishing, swimming, and windsurfing. But most of all, we’re planning to relax. My wife is taking a whole bunch of books to read. (6)
W: Your children must all be excited about it.
M: Yes, they are. They’re counting the days. Are you going to Europe again this summer? (7)
W: No, not this time. (7) We’re going to visit some old friends in Egypt.

M: I don’t have a good camera. How am I going to take nice pictures of the butterflies? (8) They are so colorful. I want to get in really close so everyone can see the details.
W: Our photography lab loans cameras to all students enrolled in my class. Don’t worry. Just show your student ID and they will give you one.
M: What if I lose it? Or break it?
W: Just be as careful with the camera as you are with your own one. We trust you. Plus, you need to pay a deposit of $500, just in case something does happen.
M: I think I’m better off buying my own. (9) I bet I can get one for $60. Even if I get a used one, it’s better than having to owe the school $500.

W: Sure, that sounds fun.
M: The original café was founded in London in 1971, (13) but since 2007, the headquarters has been in Florida. It didn’t start to expand worldwide until 1982, (14) and the one in San Francisco opened in 1984.
W: Interesting. Actually, come to think of it, I think I passed by one when I was traveling in Istanbul, Turkey. Wow, I guess they really are all over the world!
M: Yes, it’s a very international chain. I was reading about it, and apparently, there are 191 locations all over the world, in 59 different countries. (15)
W: Wow! That’s amazing.
M: Maybe we can go this weekend.

We have an important announcement for all volunteers! In two days, we are going to have an extra 40 volunteers who will help us organize food, put it into boxes, and deliver it to different food centers. The high school students from Lister Central High School are volunteering their time on Friday to help us. (17) The students will only be here for three hours, so we need to make sure we know what their jobs are. (18) Tony, Elizabeth, and Diane, I want you all to help
the students put pasta, beans, and fruit into boxes. Then, please show the students how to put the boxes in the truck. Also, we need to make sure none of the students get hurt. Do not let the students use the machines, drive the truck, or use knives to open the boxes. Also, Mindy, I would like you to give the students a short history lesson about our food bank before they start. (19) Many of the students are football players and are very strong. Please ask them to carry the heavy boxes so the others can focus on different tasks. Students who are small and not as strong can help us write down what boxes have been organized and what type of food is in each box. (20) Lastly, make sure to tell the students “Thank you”. Hopefully, they will come back and volunteer again very soon!
