Its a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. Its a question that often doesnt need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the persons friend isnt fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isnt really a question and “Fine” isnt really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.Sometimes, people also dont say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think youre Wrong.” But it isnt very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “Im not sure.” Its a nicer way to say that you dont agree with someone.People also dont say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person say “Ive to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse(藉口): “Someones at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesnt want to talk any more, but it isnt polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesnt hurt the other person.Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people dont say exactly that they are thinking. Its an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and its part of the game of language.（1）When a person in America asks “How are you?” he or she wants to hear “ ” A . How are you?B . Hello.C . I dont know.D . Fine.（2）When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say“ .” A . You are wrong. I disagreeB . Im not sureC . Im sure I disagreeD . No, I disagree（3）A polite way to finish talk is to say“ .” A . You have to go nowB . I want to hang upC . I have to go nowD . I dont want to talk any more（4）When a person says “Ive to go now. Someones at the door.” the person may be_. A . giving an excuseB . hurting someones feelingC . illD . asking you a question（5）The rule of the game of language is probably . A . Always say what you meanB . Dont disagree with peopleC . Never say exactly what youre thinkingD . Be polite12. （8分）阅读理解CAs the new terms begins, some students find themselves tired and feel that they are not in the mood to study. People call this post-holiday syndrome(节后综合征).For Ran Yaxing from Dalian University, this means she has to eat the terrible food at her universitys messy tables. She said that she lost her appetite(食欲) during her first days back.Students must also return to the uncomfortable dormitory(宿舍) life. Just ask 19-year-old Jiang Cheng, who lived in a large home in Tianjin over the holiday. Now back to campus(大学生活), he is sleeping on a wooden bed. He said he couldnt make himself happy.21 year-old Qu Meng had the same feeling a year ago, but not this year. Thats because he returned to campus a few days before the new term began. So far, Qus early return seems to have worked well.There are many reasons for post-holiday syndrome, the most important of which is the irregular(不规律的) lifestyles during the holiday.According to Psychologist Li Jun, its no use taking some medicine. She says students like Ran and Jiang should stay more active during the winter break. Post-holiday syndrome is not a disease. It not hard to get over it,Li said.（1）Which of the following may get post-holiday syndrome?A . Ning Fei: wants to study harder in the new term.B .

It was 1993, but I can remember my mothers words as if it were yesterday. “Jessica, I dont want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him.”AIDS wasnt something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 11, his condition worsened. My fathers other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.We couldnt afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work. I had no money for school supplies and often couldnt even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teachers words muffled as I was thinking how I was going to manage.I didnt share my burden (负担) with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside even though he was too weak to feed himself.I had known that he was going to die. But after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit (非营利的) National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.I was 14 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didnt want to call attention to AIDS. I do.（1）What does Jessica tell us about her father? A . He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.B . He depended on the nurses in his final days.C . He worked hard to pay for his medication.D . He told no one about his disease.（2）What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3? A . Jessica was too tired to hear her teachers words.B . Jessica had special difficulty in hearing.C . Jessica was too troubled to focus on the lesson.D . Jessica couldnt understand her teacher.（3）Why did Jessica keep her fathers disease a secret? A . She was afraid of being looked down upon.B . She thought it was a shame to have AIDS.C . She found no one willing to listen to her.D . She wanted to obey her mother.（4）Whats the meaning of the word “cruel” in Paragraph 4? A . 惨淡的B . 无情的C . 粗鲁的D . 痛苦的（5）Why did Jessica write the passage? A . To tell people about the sufferings of her father.B . To show how little people knew about AIDS.C . To draw peoples attention to AIDS.D . To help her remember her father.三、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共5分)14. （5分）根据短文内容，从AE选项中选出短文所需要的句子。Being safe at school and in your everyday life needs knowledge.
