We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood. In the US, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal discussion. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the others arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet each other with a hug . Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about 2.5 feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, Pardon me. or Excuse me. Americans like to look at the other in the eyes when they are talking. If you dont do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. When you stare at someone, however, it is not polite. For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very good or well done. Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter, one might put up one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger(食指). Americans shake their index fingers at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them. Learning a cultures body language is sometimes confusing(困惑的). If you dont know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile. 56. When you shake hands with an American, you should _ .A. shake his / her hand firmly B. put your hands on his / her shoulder C. shake his / her hand gently D. give him / her a hug afterward 57. In the US, people usually _ if you stand too close to them. A. feel friendly B. get uncomfortable C. keep still D. hit you angrily 58. If you talk with an American friend, its polite to _ . A. stare at him / her B. look at the ground C. look at him / her in the eyes D. look here and there 59. When an American gives you the thumbs-up, he, in fact _ . A. means that you are number one B. wants to please you C. needs to call a waiter D. expresses his satisfaction to you 60. Whats the main idea of this passage? A. People greet each other by shaking hands in America. B. Every country has their own gestures. C. Learning a cultures body language is very important and necessary. D. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger. B 1970 was World Conservation Year. The United Nations wanted every one to know that the world is in danger. They hoped the governments would act quickly in order to “conserve” nature. Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1,300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 866 remain. The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology. We are changing the earth, the air and water, and everything that grows and lives. We cant live without these things. If we continue like this, we shall destroy ourselves.What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask “What must we do now?” The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are helping to save our world. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers in forests, and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometers of their river. Young people may hear abut conservation through something called “No ones going to change our world, which was made by the Beatles, Cliff Richard and other singers. The money from it will help to conserve wild animals.61. What does the word “conserve” in the passage mean?A. serve B. protect C. live D. desert62. The first paragraph tells us that _.A. World Conservation Year was over.B. animals are being in dangerC. nature is being destroyed in Holland D. the people of the world face the serious living situation 63. “No ones going to change our world was _.A. a record calling on people to conserve natureB. an idea that nobody would acceptC. an important book published in 1970D. a rule worked out by the United Nations64. What is the most important thing for us to do to save our world?A. We should plant more trees and flowers.B. We should clean the banks of our rivers.C. We should know what we must do and begin to do it now.D. We should know what will happen in the future.65. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. 1970 was an important year.B. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is in danger.C. Conservation is necessary.D. It is the young people who are helping to save our world. CSome years ago industries had more freedom than they have now，and they did not need to be as careful as they must todayThey did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developedThey did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them，often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changesAlso scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignoreAt such times，there were inquiries(调查)into the causes of the disasters or the problemsNew safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries，however，the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill. Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example， there is a department which examines new planes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must followAnother department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work , and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness，but they are having some good resultsOur work places are safer and cleaner than beforeThe planes and cars which we use for travel are betterProducers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.66The main topic of the passage is _. Aconditions in the work place. Bthe freedom of industries in the past. Cchanges in industrial production. Dthe safety and health of workers and customers.67. We can infer(推断)from the passage that in the past _.A. workers often got ill because of the poor working conditions.B. Companies were free to put out any products they wanted to.C. many people were killed by dangerous products.D. industries were as careful in management as they are today.68. Some years ago safety rules _.A. were put forward due to scientistsadviceB. came into being as a result of the workersdemandsC. were introduced because quite a number of people were killed or seriously injured.D. were effective enough to protect workers and customers.69. The special departments protect customers and workers in many ways EXCEPT by _.A. testing new products. Bcontrolling the sale of products.Cdeveloping new products. Dexamines work places DWhen did you last see a polar bear?On a trip to a zoo,perhaps?If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago,you would have seen a whole polar bear club.These Polar Bears are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water.That day,the air temperature was 3,and the water temperature was a little higher.The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island,New York are usually about the age of 60.Members must satisfy two requirements.First,they must get along well with everyone else in the group;this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club.Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February. Dcotors dont agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming.Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the bodys temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops.Other doctors,however,point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter. The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming.They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm.Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water.A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming. The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental.The Polar Bears love to swim all year round;they find it fun and relaxing.As one 70-year-old woman says,When I go into water,I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away. 70、 The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that_. A they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months B. they must reach the age of 60 C. they should be easy to make friends with D. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February 71. The Polar Bears like to swim year-round, for_. A. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter B. they can remain young C. they find it enjoyable and interesting D. they might meet fewer troubles in life 72. The passage is mainly about_. A. the requirements of the Polar Bear Club B. a group of cold-water-swimming livers C. the Polar Bears life in New York D. doctors ideas about cold-water swimming ESwimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life. Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk. In fact, you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However, I believe that five is the best age to learn. By five or six, a child knows fear of water, a very important thing to know. Its wise to be afraid, to recognize true danger. Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous. To really benefit from swimming, every swimmer should learn, as soon as possible, these four basic strokes; butterfly, backstroke, breastroke, and crawl. I feel that one of these-the breaststroke-is different from the others, since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally, without any training. In swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow: 1.Never swim alone! No matter how good you are in the water, dont risk drowning by swimming alone. If you swim by yourself, with no life guards or friends with you, you may get into trouble. 2. Dont go beyond your abilities. Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach, Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good. Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive. 3. Dont smoke. Swimming depends on a healthy body; good lungs are part of it. 4. Work at any activity that builds muscles. 73. Little children can learn to swim as soon as _. A. they can talk B. they start walking C. they have no fear of the water D. they are five or six years old 74. The author believes that fear of water is_. A. stupid B. sensible C. dangerous D. not smart 75. According to the passage, you should not swim alone because_. A. the water is too cold B. your parents would not be happy C. something in the water might attack D. you might drown 第卷 (共35分)第四部分： 单词拼写（满分10分）1.
