V in Australia and EnglandIn 1992, George Bush visited Australia and from the window of his car, held up his index(食指)and middle fingers in the “V” shape. This V means victory in England, or peace in North America. Too bad it means “up yours.” in Australia.2. OK in FranceMaking a circle with your finger means “great” or “fine” in North America. Its also used by divers to municate that there are no problems. In France, however, this gesture means “zero.” Unless youre motioning to a French diver, you might be municating that something (or someone) is worthless. 3. One-handed giving in JapanIn the West, people arent especially mindful of their hands when they offer objects to others. In Japan, it is polite and expected for people to make offerings with both hands. If you give someone a business card, or hand them your camera to take a photo, be sure to pass on the item with both hands. This shows that you are fully attentive and careful in the offering. A one-handed presentation might be taken as dismissive(蔑视的).4. “Got your Nose!” in TurkeyA man with the gesture doesnt have a set North American meaning, except when playing “got your nose” with a child. It also means the letter “T” in American Sign Language. In Turkey, this gesture is aggressively rude.21. If you want to express your satisfaction in North America, you can use_ .A. “V” gesture B. “OK” gesture C. “Thumbs-up” D. “Got your nose”22. What can we infer from the passage?A. The gestures are the same around the world. B. A “v” gesture in England means peace C.A “OK” gesture in America means “ZERO” D. You had better give someone something with both hands in Japan. 23. Which part does the passage belong to in newspaper?A. sports B. education C. food D. tourism24. Who might be interested in this passage?A. Americans. B. Japanese. C. Frenchmen. D. Englishmen.BSo you want to draw money from a bank? Do it yourself. Want to fix the Internet connection? Do it yourself. Need a boarding card for your flight? Do it yourself. In theory, panies can save money by replacing human workers with automated self-service systems, while customers gain more choices and get quicker service. Surely the expansion of self-service into more and more areas is to be weled?Not necessarily. When it is done well, self-service can do good to both panies and customers. But when done badly who has not found themselves trapped in a series of endless touchtone menus? In areas where self-service is only just started, this is less of a problem: angry customers can after all, always take their business elsewhere. But if every bank were to prefer self-service systems, customers would no longer be able to express their discount by voting with their feet. As a result, some banks, for example, already promise that their telephone-banking services always offer the choice of talking to a human operator. But in return for human service, many panies will simply charge more.Another disagreement to self-service is that while it saves panies money, it does not always save their customers time. In the best cases, it does, of course: checking yourself in at the airport can be quicker than queuing or making a phone call. But as more and more tasks are on to customers, they may start to hope for the days of old-fashioned service.All of this suggests that there are limits to how far self-service can be taken. panies that go too far down the self-service route or to do it incorrectly are likely to find themselves being punished. Instead, a balance between self-service and traditional forms of service is necessary.25. What advantages does the self-service technology certainly bring?A. Cutting the cost for the panies.B. Saving money for customers.C. Offering customers extra money. D. Defeating the traditional forms of service.26. What does the writer mean by saying “customers would no longer be able to express their discount by voting with their feet”?A. Customers would be so angry that they kick and damage the machine providing self-service.B. Customers would not be able to express their anger at the banks service by leaving there.C. Customers would try their best to persuade the bank to stop self-service.D. Customers would elect some leaders to have a talk with the bank.27. From this passage, we can see that the writer_ the use of self-service.A. dislikesB. supportsC. thinks highly ofD. makes careful judgment onCOne Sunday, my family had gathered at my parents house to feast upon Moms wonderful cooking. During the normal dinner chatter, I noticed that my father was slurring（说话含混）his words. No one mentioned this during dinner, but I felt pelled to discuss it with my mother afterward.We decided that there was something seriously wrong and that Dad needed to see the doctor.Mom phoned me two days later. “The doctor found a brain tumor（肿瘤）. Its too large at this point to operate. Maybe they can do something then, but the odds are long.”Even with the treatment, my fathers condition worsened, and the doctor finally informed us that this condition was terminal. During one of his stays in the hospital, we brought our baby daughter Chelsey with us when we visited him. By this time he had great difficulty speaking. I finally figured out that he wanted Chelsey to sit on his stomach so he could make faces at her.Watching the two of them together, I realized I was living an experience that would stay with me forever. Though grateful for the times they could share, I couldnt shake the feeling of a clock ticking in the background.On the visit to my parents home during what we all know was my fathers last days, my mother took Chelsey from my arms and announced, “Your father would like to see you alone for a minute.”I entered the bedroom where my father lay on a rented hospital bed. He appeared even weaker than the day before.“How are you feeling, Dad?” I asked. “Can I do anything for you?”He tried to speak, but he couldnt make out a word.“Im sorry, but I cant understand you,” I said.With great difficulty he said, “I love you.”We dont learn courage from heroes on the evening news. We learn true courage from watching ordinary people rise above hopeless situations. In many ways my father was a strict, unmunicative man. He found it difficult to show emotion. The bravest thing I ever saw him do was overe that barrier to open his heart to his son and family at the end of his life.28Which of the following statements is TRUE?AThe writer acpanied his father to a medical examinationBThe writers father got worse after the removal of the brain tumorCThe writers father had known about his illness before the writer discovered itDThe writer was quick to notice the strange condition of his father29What does the underlined sentence “the odds are long” mean?AIt takes a long time for Father to recoverBTheres little possibility for Father to recoverCFather needs love and care from his familyDThey need a proper time to operate on Father30The father had never said “I love you” to the writer before because_Ahe was not used to openly showing his emotionsBhe was not so attached to the writerChe thought there was no need to tell the writerDhe believed in strictness and punishment31What does the writer attempt to tell us?ALife is short, so live your life to the fullestBDont wait to see a doctor till it is too lateCBravely express your love for your familyDWe dont often value health until we lose itDTime TravelIf you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeares play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe youd voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H.G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of ic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einsteins theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being bornIf the time traveler wasnt born, how would he travel back in time？And would you really like to visit the future？In HGWells book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles(触角).If thats whats in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.32The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show_Athe special feature of the bookBPeoples interest in time travelCthe long history of time travelDthe contribution of HGWells33Einsteins and Hawkings theories_Asuggest the possibility to invent the time machineBhave similarities in many waysChave proved wrong by some time travelersDpush the invention of the first spaceship34In Paragraph 4,“grandfather paradox” probably refers to the idea that_Athe traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfatherBthe traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfatherCthe grandfathers death makes the travelers birth impossibleDThe reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness35According to the passage, what is probably the authors attitude towards time travel？ASupportive BUnconcernedCUnclear DSkeptical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。If you live in Tokyo or Toronto, you need a warm coat in the winter. 36 The aim of advertising is to change our ideas about things we want and need.Some ads for designer products use peoples vanity(虚荣心) to sell the product. The ads try to create a personality for each brand. For example, one brand of watches is for people who like adventure, with ads featuring an auto racer or a pilot wearing them. Another brand of watches is for elegant and fashionable people, and the ads show wealthy travelers on a cruise ship. The watches look almost the sameonly their images are different. When you buy that brand of watch, you are buying the image. 37 Many ads use peoples emotions to persuade us that we need the product. Think of a TV mercial that shows a woman out driving in a car on a rainy day, with her two small children. Suddenly, another car turns in front of her. The mother quickly hit the brakes, and her car es to a stop. The children are still smiling and laughing. The message is: This car will keep you safe. 38 Other examples are slogans that tell you to “take vitamins to prevent heart disease,” or “buy insuranceprotect your family.”mercials for soft drinks often show people having a party, playing sports, or enjoying a day at the beach: Everyone in the ad is having a good time. The message is: If you buy this drink, you will have a good time too. Many ads like this are based on peoples desire for fun and enjoyment. 39 Psychologists have found that people have positive feelings about things they see more often, so the same ad is used for a long time before it is replaced with a new ad. Other studies found that people react better to an ad when it is fresh in their memory, so TV ads are repeated very often.Knowing about psychology in advertising lets us make better decisions about the things we buy. 40 A.Advertisements like this one use fear to sell products.B.But you want one that is short, or black, or has a designer brand. C.You have to be careful not to be fooled by the ads on the Internet.D.But the children may not realize that what they are viewing is unreal.E.This is the reason that people spend much more money for a product.F.After an ad is prepared, advertisers use psychology to make it more effective.G.It helps us know the difference between what we want and what we really need.第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Ive read lots of stories about family memories.

Some needed constant pats on the back, words of 64 (encourage) and extra support, which I 65 (happy) gave. Others were content on their own, needing little or no interaction（互动）with their teacher. 66 for the most part, graduates would go on for higher schooling.Id always supposed their parents were over-protective, for they were the ones that still walked their 67 (five) graders into the classroom and met them at the school gate.Admittedly, I laughed at those parents, 68 (think) their children would never learn to be
