A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely unfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap（间隙）with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a persons needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of municating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied（暗示）is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority（权威）rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they e across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patients silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing（治愈）value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.24. What does the author say about silence in conversations?A. It implies anger. B. It promotes friendship. C. It is based on culture.D. It depends on content.25. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A. The Chinese.B. The French.C. The Mexicans.D. The Russians.26. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A. Let it continue as the patient pleases.B. Break it while treating patients.C. Evaluate its harm to patients.D. Make use of its healing effects.CEvery man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your dreams bee more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably finish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions. My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports werent written until the deadline.Ive been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her masters degree（硕士学位）in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student（技校学生）. Theyre called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, hes a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they dont often make school honor rolls（光荣榜）.But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who work in clean shirts in offices dont have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was about $ 800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts from a junk yard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was $ 25 instead of $ 800.Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers dont need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.27. What can we learn about the authors children?A. His daughter does better in school. B. His daughter has got a masters degree.C. His son tried hard to finish homework. D. His son couldnt write his book reports.28. The author let his son repair the car because he believed that _.A. His son had the ability to fix it. B. it would save him much time.C. it wouldnt cause him any more lossD. other motorheads would e to help.29. In which of the following sentence does the word “clone” have the same meaning as the one underlined in the first paragraph?A. Mitalipov, senior author on the paper, laughs when asked if he wants toclonea person. B. Tom was in some ways a younger clone of his handsome brother.C. Some scientists wish to create the worlds first human clone.D. To make aclone, you need to first take an egg and remove all of its genetic material.30. What did the author realize in the end?A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.B. It is important for one to make the honor roll.C. Architects play a more important role than builders.D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.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。Secret codes（密码）keep messages private. Banks, panies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by puter. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 31 Code breaking never lags（落后）far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. 32 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 33 You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Lets number the letters of the alphabet（字母表）, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 20 13 5.” A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 34 For example, “bridge”might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me”. The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” 35 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.A.It is very hard to break a code without the code book.B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.第三部分：英语知识运用（满分60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 短文后题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。A Race against DeathIt was a cold January in 1925 in North Alaska.
