Its a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But “How are you?” is also an unusual question. Its a question that often doesnt need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” expects to hear the answer“Fine”, even if the person isnt fine. The reason is that “ How are you?” isnt really a question and “Fine” isnt really an answer. They are mon ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.Sometimes, people dont say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks Do you agree? the other person may be thinking, No, I dont. I think you are wrong.” It isnt polite to disagree very strongly, then he might say, I am not so sure. This is a nicer way to say that you dont agree with someone.People also dont say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking to other people. For example, many conversations over the phone end when one person says, Ive got to go now.” or the person who wants to hang up will give an excuse, such as Someone is at the door. or“ Something is burning on the stove(火炉).” The excuse may be real, or not. The person who wants to hang up simply doesnt want to talk any more, but it isnt polite to say so. An excuse is polite, and it doesnt hurt the other persons feelings.Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an opinion, or ending a conversation, people often dont say exactly what they are thinking. Its an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and its part of the game of language.24. The passage is mainly about _.A. how to make friends with peopleB. some polite questions used to greet another personC. important ways of being polite to other peopleD. how to end a conversation25.

However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts.

The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists cant play it. Samuel says confidently, Its all about super memory-I guess I have that gift.”However, Samuels ability to remember things doesnt stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesnt know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.32. What is special about Samuel Osmond?A.

Here are four most important eye expressions that we see every day.1. Smiling eyesResearchers have long noticed that a sincere smile starts with our eyes. When we are sincerely happy, the skin around the corners of our eyes crinkles(出现皱纹). But a social, polite smile touches only our lips(嘴唇). 37 For example, when a shop assistant smiles at you, offering help, you will immediately get the feeling that they are just trying to sell you something. 2. 38 People who avoid eye contact during a conversation are often considered as insincere. What does little or no eye contact mean then? Anything from shyness to nervousness.3. Friendly eyesWhen you are carrying on a conversation, looking the speaker straight in the eyes sends a clear message to him: 39 This is why so many public speaking experts advise keeping eye contact with the speaker.4. Shut eyesCovering the eyes for a long period of time sends a message that you are trying to block out something that you do something that you do not want to hear. For example, a man who is asked to work on the weekend may cover his eyes with his fingers as he answers, “No problem.” 40 A. Shy eyes.B. Empty eyes.C. Such behavior is seen with liars.(说谎者)D. You are paying attention to the talk.E. The smile you are given is not in the eyes.F. What his gestures are showing is that he is not happy about it at all.G. So it is important to learn how to read the body language of the eyes.第二部分英语知识运用第一节 完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）A poor and old farmer lived in a village, who had a beautiful and young wife.
