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)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
A cup of coffee is a good way for many people to start their day. But, it can also "do much greater good.
Manyang Kher is one of the socalled Lost Boys of Sudanthe 20, 000 young Sudanese who escaped from
their villages and made the 1, 600kilometer walk to Ethiopia. Kher lived in a refugee camp in Ethiopia’s Gambella
region for 13 years. When he was 16, Kher came to America: While he was in college in Virginia, he started
Humanity Helping Sudan to raise awareness of the refugees. Today, Kher is the owner and founder of a coffee
company called 734. It is part of his larger Humanity Helping Sudan project. The coffee company’s name is
meaningful. It comes from the geographical coordinates(坐标)of the Gambella area: 7 degrees north and 34
degrees east.
Eighty percent of Kher’s profits from 734 go towards the refugees. Profits go towards buying school supplies
and sending more of the children to school. And, as Kher explains, the money helps refugees help themselves. A
cup of the coffee, for example, can buy one fishing net for a refugee. They can come to the river and fish for
themselves.
Kher operates 734 Coffee from two warehouses in Virginia. But the coffee beans come from African farms in
Gambella. The beans are roasted by local coffee roasters in the US. Kher sells the coffee online and to coffee stores.
Megan Murphy owns a bakery near Washington. She serves the coffee to her customers. "The customers love it,"
she says. "Whenever they find out about the project, they connect right with it. The coffee tastes delicious, so it’s a
winwin for both sides. You get to enjoy coffee and at the same time be part of the bigger project."
【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。主要讲述了一个咖啡店的老板 Manyang Kher 以前是难民，现在用挣到的钱服
务于难民的故事。
21.What does 734 Coffee’s name reflect?
A. The company’s coffee sales. B. The coffee’s reasonable price.

coordinates(坐标) of the Gambella area: 7 degrees north and 34 degrees east.( 这家咖啡公司的名字
很有意义。它来自甘贝拉地区的地理坐标:北纬 7 度，东经 34 度。)”可知，734Coffee 的名字反映
咖啡的名字反映了甘贝拉的地理位置，故选 D。
22.What do we know about 734 Coffee?
A. It hires a lot of refugees. B. It provides refugees with help.
C. Its coffee is not available online. D. Its working conditions are terrible.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“Eighty percent of Kher’s profits from 734 go towards the refugees.( Kher

23.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A new way to start a day B. Humanity Helping Sudan
C. 734 Coffee: a winwin choice D. Manyang Kher: a Sudanese Lost Boy
【答案】C

四段“… the coffee beans come from African farms in Gambella. The beans are roasted by local coffee
roasters in the US. Kher sells the coffee online and to coffee stores.(这些咖啡豆来自甘贝拉的非洲农

于咖啡店本身和盛产咖啡豆的甘贝拉的非洲农场来说， 734 Coffee 都是一个双赢的生意，选项 C.
734 Coffee: a winwin choice(734 Coffee:一个双赢的选择)为最佳标题，故选 C。
B
There are no right or wrong signals, only cultural differences. Lack of cultural understanding will lead to
disagreement among people from different cultures. Meeting with other cultures is actually very interesting and fun.
It is certainly a great topic to discuss over a cup of coffee and cakes.
The gesture “thumbsup” is commonly misunderstood. In English, it is known as “thumbs up”, though the
action is commonly performed with only one hand. Englishspeaking Caucasians use it to signal “OK”, which is the
same meaning as OK ring gesture. The two can in fact be used instead of each other.
To most Europeans, it signals the number 1, since they count from 1 to 5 beginning with the thumb for 1 and
ending with the little finger for 5. Other nationalities, like Americans, usually start counting on the index finger for
1, and end with the thumb.
Avoid using this gesture in Southern Sardinia or Northern Greece unless you want to invite a fight. While
Americans, the British and Australians would use the thumbsup sign to signal for hitchhiking, this message will
not encourage a Northern Greek driver or motorist to stop to give them a ride.
What does the “OK” sign mean to you? If you are an Englishspeaking Caucasian, it means “OK” or “good”.
The French understand it as “zero” or “worthless”. The Japanese would read it as “money”.
Don’t show this gesture to a Greek. Ancient Greek vases have been found showing this gesture as an insult. So,
if you use this sign in Greece to tell a person that he is “OK”, he will feel insulted. Other regions where this sign
can be insulting are Turkey, Malta, Sardinia, Tunisia, Russia, the Middle East, Paraguay, and Brazil.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。不同的文化中，手势有时候代表不同的含义，缺乏文化理解会导致不同文
化的人产生分歧。文章主要介绍了“OK”手势和竖大拇指这两种手势在不同的文化中的不同含
义。
24. What does the “thumbsup” gesture show among Englishspeaking Caucasians?
A. Agreement. B. Respect. C. Calmness. D. Disappointment.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“The gesture “thumbsup” is commonly misunderstood. In English, it is
known as “thumbs up”, though the action is commonly performed with only one hand.
Englishspeaking Caucasians use it to signal “OK”, which is the same meaning as OK ring gesture. The
two can in fact be used instead of each other.(“竖起大拇指”这个手势通常被误解。在英语中，这
个动作表示“赞许”，尽管这个动作通常只用一只手来做。讲英语的高加索人用这个手势表示
“OK”，意思和 OK ring 手势相同。这两者实际上可以互相替代)”可知，在讲英语的高加索人中，
竖起大拇指表示同意。故选 A。
25.What number does the thumbsup most probably stand for in America?
A. 1. B. 2. C. 4. D. 5.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“To most Europeans, it signals the number 1, since they count from 1 to 5
beginning with the thumb for 1 and ending with the little finger for 5. Other nationalities, like
Americans, usually start counting on the index finger for 1, and end with the thumb.(对大多数欧洲人
来说，它代表数字 1，因为他们从 1 数到 5，从拇指开始数 1，以小指结束数 5。其他国家的人，
比如美国人，通常以食指开始数“1”，以大拇指结束)”可知，在美国，竖起大拇指最可能代表数
字 5。故选 D。
26.What should be avoided if you are in the Middle East?
A. Asking for a lift. B. Giving the “OK” sign.
C. Trying to speak English. D. Showing the gesture “thumbsup”.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“So, if you use this sign in Greece to tell a person that he is “OK”, he
will feel insulted.(所以，如果你在希腊用这个手势告诉某人他很“OK”，他会觉得被侮辱了)”可知，
如果你在中东，应该避免做出“OK”的手势。故选 B。
27.What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The function of body language. B. How to communicate with foreigners.
C. The different meanings of two gestures. D. The importance of learning about other cultures.
【答案】C
【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段中“There are no right or wrong signals, only cultural differences. Lack of
cultural understanding will lead to disagreement among people from different cultures.(没有正确或错
误的手势，只有文化差异。缺乏文化理解会导致不同文化的人产生分歧)”结合文章说明了不同的
文化中，手势有时候代表不同的含义，缺乏文化理解会导致不同文化的人产生分歧。文章主要介
绍了“OK”手势和竖大拇指这两种手势在不同的文化中的不同含义。可知，文章主要讲了两种手
势的不同含义。故选 C。
C
When I worked as a global media coordinator(协调员)for the United Nations several years ago, I organized
biweekly conference calls, during which I would ask my colleagues around the world to provide information by
particular deadlines. My colleagues almost always responded with a yes. but all too often, the deadlines came and
went without the requested material. Finally, my South African boss had to explain what would never have
occurred to me: in many cultures, it is rude lo say no. So some people would say yes to anything I asked, regardless
of whether they had any intention of delivering.
If communicating internally at the UN was challenging, interacting with the outside world was much harder.
How would we reach people in places where newspapers are televisions are still not widely available? How could
we generate media coverage there? Communicating globally may require changing the way you interviewing senior
communication professionals in 31 countries about how they help clients modify their messages and strategies for
particular cultures. I have found that some of the biggest factors to consider when communicating in a new culture
involve emotion, context and social expectations.
As an example of emotional differences, if I were to do a media interview in the US and become visibly angry
at a reporter’s question, I would be seen as unstable. By contrast, in the Middle East (an area including the
countries of Southwest Asia and Northeast Africa),when people are talking about a heated issue, they tend to
display powerful feelings—those who stay cool and calm while discussing such a problem may be viewed as
untrustworthy.
Another big cultural difference revolves around the level of “context” provided in a conversation. As an
American, I am what is known as a lowcontext communicator (who communicates information in a direct manner
that relies mainly on words rather than contextual elements such as tones and body language), so if I want
something done, I say so frankly. In highcontext cultures, as in Asia, people may do the opposite. You have to pick
up on body language, tones, and other contextual cues to realize that your colleague who just said yes to you has
actually communicated that she does not agree to your plan.
【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述自身经历引出跨文化交际中需要注意的一些因素，包括
情感、语境和社会期望。
28.How did the author probably feel about those colleagues according to Paragraph 1?
A. Confused and upset. B. Ashamed and guilty.
C. Satisfied and delighted. D. Doubtful and uncertain.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“My colleagues almost always responded with a yes. but all too often, the
deadlines came and went without the requested material.(我的同事们几乎总是给出肯定的回答。但通
常情况下，截止日期来了又去，却没有收到所要求的材料。)”可知，同事答应作者的事情没有兑
现，作者肯定会感到沮丧；又根据“Finally, my South African boss had to explain what would never
have occurred to me: in many cultures, it is rude lo say no.(最后，我的南非老板不得不向我解释一个
我永远不会想到的事情：在许多文化中，拒绝别人是不礼貌的。)”中的“what would never have
occurred to me”可知，如果不是南非的老板解释，作者会感到迷惑，不明白同事们为什么会这么
做。根据第一段，作者对那些同事可能感到困惑和沮丧。故选 A 项。
29.What is often expected of Northeastern Africans when they discuss emotional questions?
A. Mild curiosity. B. Remarkable ease. C. Emotional responses. D. Confident calmness.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段“By contrast, in the Middle East (an area including the countries of Southwest
Asia and Northeast Africa),when people are talking about a heated issue, they tend to display powerful
feelings—those who stay cool and calm while discussing such a problem may be viewed as
untrustworthy.(相比之下，在中东地区(包括西南亚和非洲东北部国家)，人们在谈论一个热点问题
时，往往会表现出强烈的感情，那些在讨论这个问题时保持冷静的人可能会被认为是不值得信任
的。)”可知，当讨论到热点问题时，非洲东北部的人被期望表现出强烈的情感回应。故选 C 项。
30. What can we infer from the colleague mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. She may be from the United States. B. She may prefer to speak in a direct way.
C. She may be a highcontext communicator. D. She may be influenced by lowcontext cultures.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“You have to pick up on body language, tones, and other contextual
cues to realize that your colleague who just said yes to you has actually communicated that she does
not agree to your plan.(你必须通过肢体语言、语调和其他上下文暗示来意识到，刚刚对你说“是”
的同事实际上是在表达她不同意你的计划。)”可知，这位同事表达她的想法不是直接用语言，而
是通过肢体语言、语调和其他上下文暗示，所以，她可能是一个高度情境沟通者。故选 C 项。
31.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A. The main content of the author’s book. B. Cultural differences of social expectations.
C. Different meanings of yes in different cultures. D. Important skills of communicating with colleagues.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“I have found that some of the biggest factors to consider when
communicating in a new culture involve emotion, context and social expectations.(我发现，在一个新
文化中进行交流时，需要考虑的一些最重要的因素包括情感、语境和社会期望。)”可知，在文章
中作者可能会分别讨论这些因素，而第三段讲的是情感因素，第四段讲的是语境因素，因此可以
推断，在接下来的段落中最有可能讨论社会期望的文化差异。故选 B 项。
D
Here are two interesting questions. Are you very happy with your life now? Are people happier as they get
older? A study found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, itfound
that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18.
The finding came from a Gallup survey of more than 340,000 adults between the age of 18 and 85 in the
United States.
Arthur Stone in. the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York
led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. Stress
levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely
to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. The survey also found that men and
women had similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness,
stress and worry than men did.
The researchers also considered possible influences like. having young children, being unemployed or being
single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and wellbeing related to age.
So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more
thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad
experiences.
The original goal of the study was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep
problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people
reported that they felt their sleep quality, improved as they got older.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项调查。经研究发现：人们在 50 岁之后通常会变得更快乐，
烦恼也更少。事实上，研究发现，到 85 岁时，人们对生活的满意度比 18 岁时更高。
32.Which age group of adults feel most stressful according to the study?
A. The adults in their twenties. B. The adults in their fifties.
C. The adults in their seventies. D. The adults in their eighties.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中“His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between
the ages of 22 and 25.(他的研究小组发现，压力水平在 22 岁至 25 岁之间的成年人中最高)”可知，
根据这项研究，20 多岁的成年人感到压力最大。故选 A。
33.What can we conclude from the passage?
A. People in their seventies enjoy the highest level of happiness.
B. Stress levels will drop sharply when people are becoming older.
C. Young adults have low level of stress because they are healthier.
D. Women of all ages are more likely to be in negative emotion than men.
【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than
men did.( 然而，所有年龄段的女性都比男性报告了更多的悲伤、压力和担忧)”可推知，所有年
龄段的女性都比男性更容易产生消极情绪。故选 D。
34.Which of the following may be the possible reason why elder people are happier?
A. Because elder people have enough money to spend.
B. Because elder people are more thankful with their life.
C. Because elder people don't have to work hard every day.
D. Because elder spend more time considering bad experiences.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as
people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their
emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences. (那么为什么幸福感会随着年龄
增长呢？有一种理论认为，随着人们年龄的增长，他们会对所拥有的更加感恩，也会更好地控制
自己的情绪。他们也很少花时间去想那些糟糕的经历)”可知，老年人对他们的生活更感恩，可能
是老年人更快乐的原因。故选 B。
35.Which is TRUE according to the finding of the study?
A. There is connection of sleep and happiness.
B. Aging is connected with increased sleep problems.
C. The older people are becoming, the worse sleep quality they have.
D. Sleep quality will drop during middle age but then will improve as they get older.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段“The original goal of the study was to confirm the popular belief that aging
is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age,
especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality, improved as
they got older.(这项研究的最初目的是为了证实一种流行的观点，即衰老与睡眠问题增多有关。
调查确实发现，中年时期，尤其是女性，这种情况有所增加。但除此之外，人们报告说，随着年
龄的增长，他们的睡眠质量有所改善)”可知，D 选项“睡眠质量在中年时期会下降，但随着年龄
的增长会改善”正确。故选 D。

The British Sense of Humour
The British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to make sense of
their jokes. The main thing to remember is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. 6.
Another key to understanding British humor is to know that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone is very impolite and shouts
at another person, someone else might say, 'She isn’t exactly friendly.' Understatement is often used in unpleasant
situations or to make another person look silly. 7.
The British like to make fun of many other things. They often laugh about the silly and terrible things that
happen to us every day, like when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about
people from different classes of society. 8. Finally, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not
know how to behave in society. The comedy programme Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
9. In pictures, he almost never talks, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make
people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do.
For instance, once Mr. Bean bought a large chair. He needed to take it home, but it was too big to fit in his small car.
His solution was to put the chair on top of his car. 10. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world
because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people can better
understand the British sense of humor.
A. British humor brings people laughter and content.
B. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.
C. Then, he sat in the chair and used a broom to drive the car!
D. They also like to make jokes about situations that are quite serious.
E. Throughout the film, the audience were amused by his convincing acting.
F. Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990.
G. Such jokes are normally about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave.
【语篇解读】本文是说明文，主要介绍了英式幽默。
36.【答案】D
【解析】前文“it is often difficult for foreigners to make sense of their jokes. The main thing to remember is that
the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.”提到了两点，一是提到了外国人不懂英
式幽默，二是说到了英国人喜欢开自己和其他人的玩笑。由此推知，设空处应进一步陈述英式
幽默的特点。D 项 “他们也喜欢对相当严肃的情况开玩笑。”符合语境，照应前文。故选 D 项。
37.【答案】B
【解析】根据本段第一句“Understatement means saying less than you think or feel.”(低调陈述意味着说的比
你想的或感觉的要少。)可知本段围绕着 understatement 展开。B 项“低调陈述在英式幽默中扮演
着重要的角色”符合语境，对应本段的主旨，understatement 是关键词。故选 B 项。
38.【答案】G
【解析】根据前文“They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society.”(他们也喜欢拿
社会不同阶层的人开玩笑。)可知，英国人喜欢开不同阶层的人的玩笑。由此推知，设空处可能
陈述他们可能在哪些方面开玩笑。G 项“这样的笑话通常是关于他们的口音，穿衣方式和行为
方式”符合语境。故选 G 项。
39.【答案】F
【解析】根据上一段末尾“The comedy programme Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.” (喜剧节
目《憨豆先生》就是这种幽默的一个很好的例子。)和下文“In pictures, he almost never talks, and
instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh.”(在电影里，他几乎
没有语言，相反他用他的肢体动作和面部表情让人们笑。)可推知，设空处应承接上文，进一步
介绍“憨豆先生”。F 项“憨豆先生是英国演员罗温·阿特金森在 1990 年创造的角色。”符合语
境，下文的 he 就是指代选项中的 Mr. Bean。故选 F 项。
40.【答案】C
【解析】根据前文“ For instance, once Mr. Bean bought a large chair. He needed to take it home, but it was too
big to fit in his small car. His solution was to put the chair on top of his car.” (例如，有一次憨豆先生
买了一把很大的椅子。他需要把它搬回家，但椅子太大了，以至于车里装不下。他的解决办法
是把椅子放在车顶上。)可推知，设空处应陈述憨豆先生下一步怎么做。C 项 “然后，他坐在椅
子上，用扫帚开车！”符合语境，继续说明憨豆先生怎么处理椅子和开车。故选 C 项。

第二节 读后续写(满分 25 分 )
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at the face of my 23yearold son, his backpack by his side. We
were saying goodbye. In a few hours he would be flying to France. He would be staying there for at least a year to
learn another language and experience life in a different country.
Before his college graduation, one day I told Daniel that the great failing in my life had been that I didn't
take a year or two off to travel when I finished college. This is the best way to my way of thinking, to broaden
oneself and develop a lager perspective on life. Once I had married and begun working, I found that the eagerness
of living in another culture had disappeared.
Daniel thought about this. His friends said that he would be insane to put his career on hold. But he decided it
was not so crazy. After graduation, he worked as a waiter at college, a bike messenger and a house painter. With the
money he earned, he had enough to go to Paris.
Last night, I tossed in bed, unable to sleep. It was a transitional time in Daniel’s, a passage, a step from college
into the adult world. I wanted to leave him some words that would have some meaning, some significance beyond
the moment. I failed. Nothing came to my mind. Maybe, I thought, it wasn’t necessary to say anything.
But I knew that it was necessary. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always regretted never hearing him
put his feelings into words and never having the memory of that moment.
Now, as I stood before Daniel, still nothing came from my lips. No sound broke the stillness of my beachside
home. Outside, I could hear the shrill cries of sea gulls as they circled the everchanging surf of Long Island. Inside,
I stood frozen and quiet, looking into the searching eyes of my son.

【答案】
What made it more difficult was that I knew this was not the first time I had let such a moment pass. My mind
quickly raced back to a summer vacation 8 years ago, when Daniel would tread on the forest with his three buddies
for the first time. Bags packed and tools ready, Daniel waited quietly for my final reminder. I just stared at him and
quietly murmured. “Take care, son.” Another time, Daniel was to give a graduation speech in front of 1,500
students. Before hopping the stage, he inquired, “Mom, do you have any word for me?” “No, son, just believe in
yourself.” I escaped his searching eyes and retreated into my seat.
Thinking of those lost opportunities, now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Finally, I
mustered up my courage and blurted out, “son, I am so proud of you to make this decision and experience a
brandnew culture. I assure you this will be the most valuable asset in your life. I take pride in you because you
possess the courage which I failed to have in pursuing your dream. Please take care and my love is always by your
side.” As a lump formed in my throat, I could no longer continue. My son was also touched beyond words as tears
brimmed over in his eyes. Finally out came his mother’s reminder and words he had been waiting for in the last 20
years.
