第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分）
第一节（共 15 小题;每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some
countries.
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the
person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend
to be flexible，with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe，be on time. Meals can
stretch for hours—there's no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social，preferring face－to－face communication over emails or phone calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small，polite bow. Business
cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time.
Efficiency is the goal，so meetings and dealings often are fast－paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions，
even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines how people
interact in meetings. For example，people avoid disagreeing outright with someone of a higher rank.
In the United Arab Emirates
In the UAE，status is important，so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The
handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So do not pull away from the handshake. Women should cover
themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees.
People do not avoid entertaining in their homes，but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or
passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one－to－one，if your host offers
you coffee，you should refuse. It might seem odd，but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is
already set out or presented.
In Switzerland
The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You
should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality is vital，something that comes from a deep respect for
others' time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their
companies. Higher－ups make the final decisions，even if others might disagree. Neat，clean dress is expected. The
Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It
is polite to finish the food on your plate.
21．The passage is mainly about ________．
A．communication types B．the workplace atmosphere
C．customs and social manners D．living conditions and standards
22．Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?
A．They put efficiency in the first place.
B．They dislike face-to-face communication.
C．They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.
D．They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.
23. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?
A．In Brazil. B．In Singapore.
C．In the United Arab Emirates. D．In Switzerland.
BWhen I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She'd
watch me coming down her street, and by the time I'd biked up to her doorstep, there would be a cold drink waiting.
I'd sit and drink while she talked.
Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, "Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning." she'd say.
The first time she said that, soda went up my nose.
I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely,
and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she'd work it out of her system. So that's
what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the
cemetery(墓地).
I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn't see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a
church fund-raiser(募捐活动). She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she'd had
to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life
went on.
I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I'm doing.
When I don't say "fine", she sticks around to hear my problems. She's lived in the city most of her life, but she
knows about community. Community isn't so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask
how you're doing because they care, and not because they're getting paid to do so. Sometimes it's good to just smile,
nod your head and listen.
24. Why did soda go up the author's nose one time?
A. He was talking fast. B. He was shocked.
C. He was in a hurry. D. He was absent-minded.
25. Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley according to Paragraph 3?
A. He enjoyed the drink. B. He wanted to be helpful.
C. He took the chance to rest. D. He tried to please his dad.
26. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase "work it out of her system"?
A. recover from her sadness B. move out of the neighborhood
C. turn to her old friends D. speak out about her past
27. What does the author think people in a community should do?
A. Open up to others. B. Depend on each other.
C. Pay for others’help D. Care about one another.
C
The Silk Road is arguably the most famous long-distance trade route of the ancient world. This passage
connected Europe in the West with China in the East, and allowed the exchange of goods, technology, and ideas
between the two civilizations. Although merchants could make huge profits travelling the road, it was not without risk.
The main Silk Road started in Chang’an (known today as Xi’an), the early Han capital. Travelers commencing
their journey from this city could take a northern route that would take them across China’s northwestern provinces.
After this, they would face the Gobi Desert, arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.
The Gobi Desert, the largest desert in Asia, consists mainly of rocky, hard earth. This feature made it easier for
traders to travel across, compared to sandy deserts like the neighboring Taklamakan Desert. Like other deserts, the
Gobi Desert is dry and hot, and therefore the biggest challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for
themselves as well as for their camels.
So, rest stops were created along the route, allowing travelers to rest, eat and drink. These places also
promoted the exchange of goods, and even ideas, amongst the travelers who stopped there. Usually, the rest stops
were placed within a day’s journey of each other. In this way, travelers could avoid spending too much time in the
desert, which would make them targets for robbers, another danger of the Silk Road.
Once through the Gobi Desert, travelers would continue their journey into Iran, Turkey, and finally Europe.
While this part of the journey may have been less dangerous, it is not entirely without its perils.
28.The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to __________.
A.making huge profits
B.traveling the Silk Road
C.exchanging goods and ideas
D.connecting different civilizations
29.Why was the Gobi Desert easier to cross than other deserts?
A.The desert’s surface was easier to walk on.
B. Camels for transportation were easier to find.
C. It was smaller and could be crossed in less time.
D.There were more natural water sources available.
30.What can we guess about the rest stops in the Gobi Desert?
A.Travelers were offered free accommodation.
B.They were located around the edges of the desert.
C.Travelers staying there were often attacked by criminals.
D.They were shared by travelers from different countries.
31.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The origins of the Silk Road.
B.The benefits of the Silk Road.C.The difficulties faced by Silk Road travelers.
D.The cultural exchanges among Silk Road travelers.
D
Among the many languages spoken in the world，some practices may be challenging to language learners.
Some aspects of English may seem pointless，silly or redundant(多余的)．The truth is that many languages would
benefit from a modern update. Language has been an organically evolving process and few modern languages have
had an opportunity for a global agreement on language improvements. Those who have already learned a language
may not want to change their language，even though it may make the language better in general. Here are some of
the challenging things learners of English should watch for and be careful of.
Many words in the English language sound same or similar. These words may have very different meanings，
so they can only be understood when spoken in the context. Although these words sound similar，they may be
spelled in different ways. For an English learner the difference in spelling may seem rather silly and it possibly is.
Using a different spelling can mean very different things in written English. Here is one common example. The
word meet and the word meat are common words that are spelled almost the same way. The two words sound the
same，but they mean very different things.
Another common issue learners of the English language may find is the classical spelling of some words.
There have actually been petitions(请求)to update the classical spelling of these words. Certain words have already
changed slowly over the years and some are actually in the process of changing today. The word synaesthetic is
now being accepted when spelled as synesthetic. This is an advanced word for English learners，but the spelling
update is a sign of English language progress to make it easier. Another common word that has already changed to
an easier spelling is the word music. This word used to be spelled as musick. This update reportedly happened as a
result of Noah Webster’s dictionary in the past 200 years. Such updates are often the result of common misspellings
by users of the English language. It is possibly an update made by the majority. If the majority tire of a challenging
spelling，it appears to change.
Many issues are a result of a difference in spelling of British and American English. The American spelling is
generally a more modern update and the British spelling is apparently slower to change. The amount of words can
be surprising and there are different ways to spell the same words in different dictionaries. The use of the letter “L”
doubled in certain words is one example. In American English the word dialed is spelled with one “L” and in
British English the word is spelled as dialled. This would be automatically corrected one way or the other by a
program such as Microsoft Word，depending on which dictionary the software is using.
One look at the supposed tomb of Shakespeare shows how much English spelling can change. The word friend
is spelled as frend on the sign above the tomb.
32．The underlined word “pointless” in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by “_______________ ”．
A. meaningless B. practical C. attractive D. necessary
33．The words “meet” and “meat” are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to show that _____________.
A. similar words may have the same meaning
B. different words surely have different meaningsC. some words sound the same but have different meanings
D. some words sound different but have the same meaning
34．The word “synaesthetic” is spelled as “synesthetic” probably because____________.
A. the latter is the classical spelling
B. people tend to like the simple spelling
C. most people like the traditional spelling
D. everything is changing rapidly today
35．The author shows that British and American English are different by __________.
A. giving examples B. listing some historical facts
C. telling a story D. introducing some dictionaries
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。
Some people are so rude. Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says "Thank you”? Who leaves a
voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on the Internet?
36__________________________
Maybe I'm the rude one for not appreciating life's little courtesies (礼节). But many social norms(规范)just
don't make sense to people drowning in digital communication.
Take the thank-you note. Daniel Post Senning, a coauthor of Emily Post s Etiquette，asked, "At what point
does showing appreciation outweigh the cost?"
37____________________________ Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages. In texts,
you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello. E-mail, too, is slower than a text. The worst are those who
leave a voice mail and then send an e-mail message to tell you they left a voice mail.
This isn’t the first time technology has changed our manners,38______________________ Alexander Graham
Bell, the inventor, suggested that people say, " Ahoy! "Finally, hello won out, and the victory sped up the greeting's
use in face-to-face communications.
In the age of the smart phone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about:
the weather forecast, a business's phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, or an office, which can
be easily found on a digital map.39___________________________ And when you answer, they respond with a
thank-you e-mail.
How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones,
appreciate a thank-you message.40___________________In traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But
in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion
but that time-wasting forms of communication do.A. Then there is voice mail.
B. Others, like me, want no reply.
C. But people still ask these things.
D. Don't these people realize that they're wasting your time?
E. Won't new technology bring about changes in our daily life?
F. Face-to-face communication makes comprehension much easier.
G. When the telephone was invented, people didn't know how to greet a caller.

书面表达参考答案：
Dear Lora,
Thanks for your question. There are so many classic literary works we should read that it’s hard to know where
to start.
Watching the movie version is certainly one way to get familiar with a famous novel. Besides requiring less
time, the movie usually gives you most of the important plot and character information. It may also help you decide
if the book is worth reading.
Reading the book is a completely different experience. You get far more character and plot details and can better
appreciate the richness of the book’s language. Reading also lets you use your imagination to construct the setting,
the characters and their motivations.听力录音稿

W: Do you have any plans during this summer?
M: Well, I want to get a summer job. I’d like to save money for a vacation.
W: Really? Where would you like to go?
M: I’d love to travel to Latin America. What about you, Melissa?
W: Well, I’m not going to get a job right away. First, I want to go to Spain and Portugal. M: Sounds great, but how are you going to pay for it?
W: I know I can’t ask my parents for money any more, so I’ll borrow some money from my brother. I
have a good excuse. I plan to take courses in Spanish and Portuguese.
M: Oh, I’m tired of studying!
W: So am I. But I also hope to take people on tours to Latin America. Why don’t you come on my first tour?
M: Count me in!

W: OK, we’ve got all our cloud research so let’s decide how to organize it.
M: We should probably start by saying how clouds are formed, and then move on to the different types of clouds.
We can separate them into low-level, medium-level and high clouds.
W: Great, and we should also make a PowerPoint to make the presentation more interesting.
M: Right. We should have small cards, too. I’m useless at remembering what to say without them.
W: Me too. Well, I’m quite happy to organize everything we’ve found out about clouds and make sure it
fits into our presentation times.
M: Actually, I’d better do that. How about if you make the presentation slides?
W: OK.
M: Then I’ll also look on the Internet for pictures of different types of clouds.
W: That’ll be great. I’ll prepare the cards so we don’t forget what we’re saying.第 5 页 共 5 页
M: Sounds great. What section do you want to talk about?
W: I hate speaking in front of people so I’d prefer not to do the introduction.
M: I’ll do that. If you don’t want to talk much, then why don’t you just do the middle bit about the
medium-level clouds?
W: That’s OK.

(Text 10) M: And now for our main headlines on Southern Local News for today. First of all, the report about the
government plans on developments around the village of Tartlesbury was published this morning. The new motorway
will pass along the north side of the village. It will cross the River Teeme from the well-known beauty spot, Streeve
Beach, to the north-east of the village. The motorway will cut the village off from the Streeve Beach, where many
children play. But that is not the end of it. There are also plans to build a thousand houses on farmland west of the
village. And on top of that is the plan to build a high-tech park for new technology companies. It will be built in the
south of the village, where the old steel factory used to be. A new center with a swimming pool and a large
supermarket are also planned next to the park. And, as has been expected, the plans have created quite a lot of
interest. Not all people are for them. Mr. Khan, a local shopkeeper said, “Most of us in the village are absolutely
concerned about what is being
planned here. This is just a chance for some people to make money quickly. Of course, we welcome the jobs that
the new technology park will bring, but we feel more worried that the large increase in housing and the planned
motorway will destroy the character of the area.” I think this is a debate that is going to run on for quite some time and
we here on Local News will keep you informed.
