And the way we meet and greet them creates an impression. Its important to do so in a proper way, no matter whether you are introducing yourself to someone, or introducing two people to each other. To keep you aware of this, we have gathered tips on how to make a proper introduction.Always stand when making an introduction.When you are seated and someone comes up to greet you, make the effort to stand up. By doing this, you show respect for yourself and for the other person.Always maintain eye contact(接触) while making an introduction.Many people are not aware of the value of this simple action. When you make eye contact you are giving a confident image.Always introduce a person of lesser authority(权威) to one of greater authority. The most important thing to remember is to say the most important persons name first.For example, when introducing your supervisor(管理者，领导) to a job candidate(候选人), you would give your supervisors name first. “Bob Jones, may I introduce Susan Lee, who has just graduated from ABC University?”In a situation where rank(等级) is unimportant, an introduction is based on sex and age. A man is presented to a woman and a younger woman to an older woman.What if you find yourself in a situation where you have forgotten the other persons name? Start with a handshake and reintroduce yourself. By doing this, you will usually cause the other person to do the same.However, if the other person does not take your suggestion, it is OK simply to apologize and let the person know that you cannot remember her or his name. This is not the ideal situation, of course, but it does happen to all of us. The other person should be forgiving.56. The article gives you advice on _.A. how to make a self-introduction B. how to make a proper introductionC. how to leave a good impression on peopleD. how to greet people in social situations57. According to the passage, people will think you are _ if you dont make eye contact with them.A. not honest B. not confident C. shy D. unfriendly58. What should you do when you introduce a new worker to your boss?A. You should not give your boss name. B. You should give the new workers name first.C. You neednt give your boss name. D. You should give your boss name first.59. If you forget the other persons name, youd better _.A. ask him/her directly B. apologize first and then ask him/her C. shake hands with the person and reintroduce yourselfD. consider his age first BWe have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because shes the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying. I said, “What are you doing here, my dear?”She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why dont people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because Im not pretty? Is that why they dont say nice things about me as much?”I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.Now whenever I visit a friends home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.60. The underlined expression “make a big to do over”(paragraph 4) means_. A. show much concern about B. have a special effect on C. list jobs to be done for D. do good things for61. We can conclude (得出结论) from the passage that_. A. parents should pay more attention to the elder children B. the younger children are usually more easily hurt C. people usually like the younger children more D. adults should treat children equally62. The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her_. A. beautiful hair B. pretty clothes C. lovely smile D. young age63. Kristen felt sad and cried because_.A. the guest gave her more coats to carryB. she didnt look as pretty as KellyC. the guests praised her sister more than herD. her mother didnt introduce her the guests CWhen asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars.A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should prove it. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably youll have disagreements. And the result can be what you dont want an end to the relationship.The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, dont let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when youre wrong even if youve been wronged. Over the course of friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes wrong. Third, see things from your friends point of view(观点). And finally, accept that friendships changes as our needs and lifestyles(生活方式) change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the nature ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture(培养).64.What would be the best title for the text? A. Easy Ways to Make Friends B. Ups and Downs in Friendship C. How to Mend a Troubled FriendshipD. How to Take the Lead in Making Friends65.The “wronged person” underlined in the text refers to a person”_. A. who has been mistaken for another B. who has been blamed unfairly C. who has treated friends badly D. who has admitted his mistakes 66.According to the text a friendship can last long only if”_. A.we have much in common B.we know our friends mistakes C.we treat our disagreements wisely D. we have know one another for long67.What should we do if we follow the authors second suggestion? A. Stick to our own, pints of view. B. Avoid making mistakes. C. Make an apology first. D.change our lifestyles.DIn Tibetan areas we often see wind-horse flags. They are long cloths on which pictures of horses and scriptures(经文) are printed. People often put these flags on top of houses, or leave them where a vehicle accident happened. They prevent evil spirits from injuring people again.A wind-horse flag can be white, yellow, red, green or blue. These five colors symbolize the five elements that form the world: earth, water, fire, wind and sky. Another explanation is that red is the sun, green is the grassland, yellow is the earth, blue is the sky, and white is the cloud.The wind-horse flag originated with a monk（和尚） who obtained a scripture from India. When he crossed a river, he carelessly dropped the scripture into the water. He quickly saved the scripture and spread it out on a big rock to dry as he sat in meditation(默想). Suddenly violent thunder sounded like drums. The monk felt liberated(解放的) from all of his sadness, and when he opened his eyes he saw that the scripture had been blown into the sky by a strong wind. Finally, he went straight to heaven.In order to honor the spirit of the monk and the Buddhist scripture, people printed the scripture on a piece of cloth and hung it up between the sky and the earth as though the scripture was flying in the sky.We also know why people put the wind-horse flag on the top of mountains and houses. The Tibetan ancestors had a very great idea about changing scripture. They thought not only could people chant scripture, but so could the five elements. The wind- horse flag is a good example of how they use the wind to blow the flag, which means that the wind also chants (反复吟唱)scripture.68. The second paragraph is mainly about the wind-horse flags _.A. stylesB. colorsC. materialsD. functions69. What happened when the monk meditated?A. He felt very sad about his mistake.B. The scripture was blown into the sky.C. He was punished by the gods.D. Many wind-horse flags were flying.70. Why do people put wind-horse flags on the top of mountains and houses?A. The wind-horse flags are safer there.B. The wind-horse flags can be nearer to the skyC. People believe the wind can also chant scripture.D. People can see the wind-horse flags more clearly.第II卷 写作 (共两节，满分35分)第四部分 单词拼写 (共10题，每小题1分，满分10分) 71. He seemed _（心不在焉）and as a result of his careless playing , we lost the game .72.
