(B)You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn itYou do not need to be strongBut you need to be quickAnd you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind ing from? Is it ing from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boatThe wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Lets start with the wind blowing from the behindThis means the wind and the boat are going in the same directionThen you must always keep the sail outside the boatIt should be at a 90 angle (角度) to the boatThen it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boatIn this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boatIt should be at a 45 angle to the boatIt needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldnt flap (摆动)It shouldnt look like on a flagpoleIf it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possibleIf you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stopYou may want to go in that directionIt is possible, but you cant go in a straight lineYou must go first in one direction and then in anotherThis is called tackingWhen you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.40What should you consider first while sailing?ASailors strength. BWave levels.CWind directions. DSize of sails.41What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?AThe boat. BThe wind. CThe sail.

(C)Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationshipsFor example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasureYet it also has other usesA womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young childA smile may show love or politenessIt can also hide true feelingsIt often causes confusion (困惑) across culturesFor example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improperYet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less mon in big cities)Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians dont smile enoughIn Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelingsVietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own cultureThe fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotionsRather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permittedFor example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans doWhen with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United StatesPeople from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than othersThe key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are differentIf we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.44What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?ALove. BPoliteness. CJoy. DThankfulness.45The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can _ .Ashow friendliness to strangers Bbe used to hide true feelingsCbe used in the wrong places Dshow personal habits46What should we do before attempting to “read” people?ALearn about their relations with others.BUnderstand their cultural backgrounds.CFind out about their past experience.DFigure out what they will do next.47What would be the best title for the test?ACultural Differences BSmiles and RelationshipCFacial Expressiveness DHabits and Emotions(D)ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia One of the worlds most famous fossils (化石) the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton (骨骼) unearthed in Ethiopia in 1974 will go on an exhibition tour abroad for the first time in the United States, officials said Tuesday.Even the Ethiopian public has only seen Lucy twiceThe Lucy on exhibition at the Ethiopian National Museum in the capital, Addis Ababa, is a replica while the real remains are usually locked in a secret storeroomA team from the Museum of National Science in Houston, Texas, spent four years discussing with the Ethiopians for the U.Stour, which will start in Houston next September.“Ethiopias rich culture of both the past and today, is one of the best kept secrets in the world,” said Joel Bartsch, director of the Houston museum.The six-year tour will also go to Washington, New York, Denver and ChicagoOfficials said six other U.Scities may be on the tourBut they said plans had not been worked out.Travelling with Lucy will be 190 other fossils.Lucy, her name taken from a Beatles song that played in a camp the night of her discovery, is part of the skeleton of what was once a 312 -foot-tall ape-man (猿人).48The author writes this text mainly to _ .Aintroduce a few U.Smuseums Bdescribe some research workCdiscuss the value of an ape-man Dreport a ing event49What does the words “a replica” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AA painting of the skeleton.

(E)Make Up Your Mind to SucceedKind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failureThe generation born between 1980 and xx grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyones winter.” And their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever beforeAs a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 yearsHer research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to itHeres how they workA fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic youre a born artist, point guard, or numbers personThe fixed mind-set believes its sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shameWhen things get difficult, its quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possibleBecause the ego (自尊) isnt on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shameWhen faced with a difficulty, its quick to rethink, change and try againIn fact, it enjoys this experience.We are all born with growth mind-sets(Otherwise, we wouldnt be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praiseDwecks book, Mind-set The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depthBut she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.52What does the author think about the present generation?AThey dont do well at school.
