Yet China is not pleased. That, at least, is the opinion of a new book written by a group of Chinese authors.China Is Not Happy was released in March. It is a followup to the 1996 work China Can Say No, a bestseller that complained about the influence of the West, and the US in particular, on China. Thirteen years later, the authors of China Is Not Happy list their dissatisfaction with_how_China_is_being_treated_in_the_world_today. They argue that China needs to use its growing power and economic resources to build its own position of outstanding performances. “From looking at the history of human civilization, we are most qualified to lead this world. Westerners should be second，” the book says.The authors single out the US for special scorn(轻蔑), and say their books message has been helped by the economic crisis. “This economic problem has shown the Chinese people that America does have problems, and that what weve been saying is right，” said Wang Xiaodong, one of the authors in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.Since released on March 13, the book has become a bestseller in many Chinese bookstores. The publisher has printed 270,000 copies, and says sales are far better than expected.Several reviews in the Chinese media have criticized the books radical(激进) opinions. The book is a way to “fish money from the pockets of the angry youth and angry elderly，” wrote one critic in the China Youth Daily. Meanwhile, a wellknown sociologist, Li Yinhe, has said that China needs patriotism(爱国精神), but there is a limit.Wang Xiaodong admitted in an interview with the US Time magazine that the books title is a bit of a trick. “Those words in the title are just for the purpose of promoting the book in the marketplace，” he says.“We didnt choose them. It was the people selling the book who chose the title.”文章大意：本文是主要介绍中国不高兴这本书的出版原因和出版意图。12In the book China Is Not Happy, the authors express their dissatisfaction with _.Athe influence of western countries on ChinaBthe relationship in economy between China and western countriesCChinas position in the international stage in the world todayDWesterners robbing China of many resources in history答案：C推理判断题。根据文章第二段的最后两句话可推断中国不高兴的原因就是中国在国际舞台上的地位不高。故选C。13Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?AChina has made great historical breakthroughs in the past several years.BChinas civilization has advantages over the westerners.CChina needs to use its growing power and economic resources to build its own world position.DChina should be the number one leader in the world.答案：A细节理解题。根据文章的第一段中国这几年GDP一直在增加，但并没有那么大的突破。故选A。14We can infer from the fifth paragraph _.Asome of the responses to the book is negativeBthe youth and the elderly in China are angry with the bookCthe authors of the book are reporters and sociologistsDmany Chinese express their radical opinions答案：A推理判断题。根据该段criticized, fish money, limit等可推知，人们对该书有反对声音。故选A。15The book is named China Is Not Happy because _ on the book.AChina wants to put pressure on the western countriesBit reflects the national feelings of Chinese peopleCthe authors of the book asked them to do soDit is a good selling point答案：D推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的第一、二句话可推断作者起这样的书名就是该书的卖点。还有文章的最后一句话也可推断。故选D。文化教育型阅读理解(一) A Practical English Grammar is intended for intermediate(中级的) and postintermediate students.

She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be absolutely exact. Then carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way six blocks to the pharmacy（药房）. She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. So she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it! “And what do you want?” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “Im talking to my brother from Chicago whom I havent seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question. “Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “Hes really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist.“His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?” The pharmacists brother was a well dressed man. He bent down and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”“I dont know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up. “I just know hes really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy cant pay for it, so I want to use my money.” “How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered. “And its all the money I have.” “Well, what a coincidence. A dollar and eleven centsthe exact price of a miracle for little brother,” smiled the man.“Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Lets see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”The pharmacists brother, Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, was expert in neurosurgery(神经外科). The operation was completed without charge and it wasnt long before Andrew was home again and doing well.

Fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her bag in one hand, Geri took their cards with the other. She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly. When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby (大厅). While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly, “Oh, its beautiful！”At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only very slightly, said “Sayonara” and left immediately. Poor Geri was left astonished. What did she do wrong?Everything! Her jeans were the first gaffe. Even if youre coming off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet clients (客人) casually dressed. The second mistake was Geris handling of their business cards rudely. In Japan, the business card is one of the most important communicative tools. It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands. However, Geri put their cards away much too quickly. In Japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. You chat about each others cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safe keeping. Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients. In a land where saving face is critical, it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received. What is worse, Geri hadnt even given them a gift!1. In the four Japanese gentlemens eyes, Geri took their cards _AexcitedlyBembarrassinglyCpolitelyDdisrespectfully2. Why did the four Japanese gentlemen leave Geri suddenly?ABecause they couldnt bear Geris behaviour any longer.BBecause they had finished the task.CBecause Geri had something more important to do.DBecause Geri felt embarrassed.3. What does the underlined word “gaffe” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?AIgnorance.BSadness.CMistake.DCarelessness. 4. The third mistake Geri made was that she _Aused her own card as a conversation starterBtook her clients cards with one handCkept her clients cards in a wrong placeDmet her clients in jeans5. What lesson can we draw from this story?AHonesty is the best policy.BThink twice before you take any action.CWhen in Rome, do as the Romans do.DDont claim to know what you dont know.【参考答案解析】B【要点综述】 本文介绍了Geri在与日本人交往中所犯的几个礼仪上的错误。1D由文章第一段“glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.”和第四段的“The second mistake was Geris handling of their business cards rudely.”可知答案。2A从第五段“Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients.In a land where saving face is critical, it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received.”可推知答案。3C从第三段“What did she do wrong？”和第四段的“The second mistake was Geris handling of their business cards rudely.”可推知答案。4C从第四段“The second mistake was Geris handling of their business cards rudely.”和“Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.”可推知答案。5C纵观全文可得出答案。
