So he pulled up in front of her car and got out. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. He didn’t look safe. He looked poor and hungry. He said, “I’m here to help you, ma’am. My name is Bryan Anderson.” All she had was a flat tire (轮胎), but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan changed the tire and she couldn’t thank him enough for the help. Then, the lady asked how much she owed him. She had already imagined all the terrible things that could have happened. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the help they needed. A few miles down the road, the lady saw a small cafe. She went in. The waitress came over with a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn’ t erase. She noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant (怀孕), but she never let her aches be noticed. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then, she remembered Bryan. After her meal, the lady paid with a one hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change, but when she came back, she noticed something written on the napkin (餐巾纸) with the words saying: “You don’t owe anything. Somebody once helped me out, the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.” Under the napkin were four more $ 100 bills. That night when the waitress got home, she was thinking about what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed the money with the baby due next month? As she lay sleeping next to her husband, she whispered soft and low, “Everything’s going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.” 56.Why was the old lady worried when Bryan tried to help her? [A] She had difficulty talking to a stranger. [B] She noticed a forced smile on his face. [C] She found him in trouble too. [D] She feared he might hurt her. 57.Why did the old lady want to give money to Bryan? [A] She recognized Bryan was a friend of hers. [B] She wanted to pay him for the new tire. [C] She tried to keep clear of trouble. [D] She thought he might get angry. 58.The underlined word “erase” in Paragraph 5 probably means ____. [A] hold [D] remove 59.What did the lady suggest if the waitress wanted to pay her back? [B] insist [C] forget
[B] Working harder in the [D] Giving money to those in [A] Trying to help others. future. [C] Keeping smiling all the time. need. 60.What would be the best title for this text? [A] God Help Those Who Help Themselves [C] Misfortune Never Comes Alone. 56-60 DCDAB 第二篇 Text 2 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的[A]、[B]、[C]和[D]四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡 上将该项涂黑。 [B] What Goes Around Comes Around. [D] Money doesn’t Grow on Trees. Different countries have different cultures. A same gesture may have distinct meanings in different countries. For instance, in Africa, people knock at the table with their fingers to call waiters which is considered as impolite in China. In western countries, if you make a circle with your thumb and the index finger (食 指), and then raise the other three fingers, you are suggesting “OK”. The same gesture, however, means “money” in Japan while makes Brazilian people feel insulted (受侮辱的). With that in mind, you’d better learn about their custom before travelling to foreign countries. Greeting is an important part of communication between people. When greeting someone, A-mericans tend to hold out their hands and look directly into his/her eyes and then smile. However, sometimes such behavior might bring nothing but misunderstanding in other countries. A handshake might not be accepted and looking others right in the eye can have different meanings. Asian people regard physical contact as embarrassing; therefore, they dq not shake hands. They have their own ways of greeting people. For Japanese, a slight bow of the head is enough. In Korea, women do not shake hands or hug with people; while men might shake hands accompanied by nodding the head once. In western Asia, Muslims do not make body contacts with women yet hug is generally accepted among men. Same thing happens on eye contact. In many countries, people avoid direct eye contact to show respect. This can cause misunderstanding, too. In fact, some Asian students have been regarded as lacking respect for their American teachers exactly because they failed to make eye contacts with their teachers. Though different cultures seem to have different ways of greeting, smiling is taken as the universal gesture of friendliness. Smiling indicates happiness or agreement (同意) and it can also be used to mean “Excuse me” or “Please”. So when you are not sure what to do, just smile. 61.When two Japanese men meet, they might greet each other by ____. [A] shaking each other [C] kissing each other on both cheeks 62.If an American makes an “OK” gesture to a Japanese, then the Japanese probably think that ____. [A] they have agreed on something [B] the American feels happy [B] hugging each other [D] bowing their heads
[D] the American wants money [C] the American insults him 63.What will be regarded as impolite? ____. [A] Make a direct eye contact with an American [B] Try to hug a Muslim woman [C] Bow to a Japanese when you first meet [D] Smile to a French in order to show that you are happy 64.What’s the best title for this passage? [A] Never shake hands with Asian people [B] Different culture, different custom [C] Smile as much as you can [D] People behave rudely in foreign countries 61-64 DDBB 第三篇 Text 3 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的[A]、[B]、[C]和[D]四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡 上将该项涂黑。 When mentioning Korea, people might come up with a string of things, such as kimchi (泡菜), cosmetics and beautiful girls. In fact, Korea is also famous for hand-made clothes. In Korea, you can get a suit that is well made to your measure within a couple of days but be careful about the size because Korean sizes are often a little small, especially to westerners. Even a “large” size T-shirt bought in Korea can be too small for an American! Korean clothes are made of various kinds of silk and other materials. You can also buy hand-made traditional clothes in Korea. Those traditional Korean clothes have quite a long history which can be found in ancient wall paintings or on tombs. “Hanbok” (韩服) can be the best representative of Korean culture. Today hanbok is still worn during formal occasions. Hanbok consists of two parts. “Jeogori” (赤古里), the top part, is blouse-like and has long sleeves. For the bottom part, women wear “Ghima” (高腰背心裙), a kind of skirt, and men wear “Paji” (巴基), bag-like trousers. White is the color for common people while during festivals or on special days, upper classes will wear clothes in bright colors to indicate their social status. Accessories like jewelry and headdresses complete traditional Korean clothes. Traditional Korean clothes favor soft flowing lines to hide the body’s shape representing the pursuit for beauty and elegance of Korean people. The designs of various forms of Hanbok represent the rich culture of Korea. 65.Which statement is true about the first paragraph? [A] It is very difficult to get a hand-made suit in Korea. [B] Westerners cannot wear Korean clothes because they are often too large. [C] You can buy traditional Korean clothes and many other kinds of clothing in Korea [D] All Korean clothes are hand-made by Korean tailors. 66. ____ will not appear in traditional Korean clothes for women. [A] Hanbok [D] Paji 67.How can we recognize people with high social status during festivals or on special [B] Jeogori [C] Chima
