21、Recently, I came across an interesting article on the differences between British English and American English. I had a lot of fun reading it and thinking of as many differences as I could as an American.

Their cars have “bonnets(发动机罩)”，while ours have “hoods”. They park their cars in a “car park” while we leave our in a “parking lot”. Our “cookies” are their “biscuits”, while their “rubbers” are our “erasers”.

Then there are the food words. Would you want to eat something called “Toad in the Hole” or “Bangers and Mash” or “Spotted Dick”? I’m here to report they are all very tasty. There are American equivalents(相等物)， of course. We’ve got “Shoofly Mud Pie”. What they call “crisps” is what we call “potato chips” and when we ask for “chips” in England we will get what we know at home in America as “French fries”.

They find it hysterical that we call the “toilet” the “bathroom” and they really double over (弯腰) with laughter when we ask for the “restroom”. American ladies in England who ask for the “little girl’s room” or the “power room” will be met with blank stares. A “fag” is a “cigarette” in the UK, which can lead to endless confusion for British visitors looking for a cigarette in America. Americans on the other hand are endlessly confused by English signs put up over doorways saying “Way Out”. We Americans walk on the sidewalk not the pavement. “Pavement” in America is the actual cement(水泥)the sidewalk is made of.

【1】What do British people call French fries?

A. Chips.   B. Crisps.

C. Shoofly Pie. D. Mississippi Mud Pie.

【2】The examples given at the end of the passage mainly show that ____.

A. Americans don’t like dealing with the British

B. American English is very different from British English

C. English signs are very hard for people to understand

D. Americans and the British may find it hard to understand each other

【3】 What does the underlined word “hysterical” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Funny   B. Difficult   C. Perfect   D. Normal

【4】 What is the passage mainly about?

A. Some similar habits between Americans and the British.

B. Different communicating ways between Americans and the British.

C. Different body languages between Americans and the British.

D. Some differences between American English and British English.

22、Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world—Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey—rats will soon be man's new best friends.

What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.

How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal (信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.

Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity!

The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course.)

【1】In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become man's best friends because they can ______.

A．take the place of man's rescue jobs

B．find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings

C．serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings

D．get into small spaces

【2】From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person who is alive by ______.

A．the noise made by the rat

B．the rat's unusual behaviour

C．the smell given off by the person

D．the signal sent by the radio on the rat's back

【3】Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT that ______.

A．they are more fantastic than other animals

B．they are less expensive to train than dogs

C．they don't need electricity

D．they are small and can get into small places

23、Question: I have recently got a senior position within my company. One of my new tasks is to make monthly progress reports on my department in front of other senior officials. During my first meeting, I presented my ideas and then was open to questions.【1】. My first reaction was to answer defensively. Later, I realized that I shouldn’t feel that way. But how can I keep cool and effectively answer questions in this type of settings?

Answer: Congratulations on your new position! Presenting in front of your peers is a hard task in itself, and it becomes much more difficult when a question-and-answer period is required. Question and-answer periods are a great way to clarify the message and strengthen key points.【2】.

●【3】

When a person is asking a question, show interest and a desire to understand the question by listening and asking for clarification.

● Buy time.

When facing a hard question, most people can’t give an answer immediately. Buy time by repeating the question in your own words.【4】. These techniques allow you to quickly organize your thoughts as well as to make sure you will be correctly answering the question.

● Suggest a private meeting.

A one-on-one meeting is a calmer setting than speaking in front of your peers.【5】.

A．Here are some ideas that can help you prepare for your next meeting.

B．You may also ask for explanation on the question.

C．It can also be more effective in exchanging ideas.

D．There were many difficult questions.

E．Some ideas can be quite concrete.

F．Restate the question with respect.

G．Show your true interest.

24、In recent years, scientists have found a surprising phenomenon: In many cultures around the world, parents don’t struggle to raise helpful, kind kids. From ages 2 to 18, kids want to help their families. They wake up in the morning, voluntarily do the dishes, hop off their bikes to help their dad carry groceries into the house and when somebody hands them a cake, they share it with a younger sister or brother before taking a bite themselves. You can find these charitable kids among farmers, hunters and fishermen,

During the past four years, I’ve been interested in learning what are these parents doing to nurture such helpfulness in their kids? While doing the research, I traveled to three of the world’s most honored cultures—the Maya, Inuit and Hadzabe, and describe what I found in my new book—Hunt, Gather, Parent.

Supported by psychologists, my research result shows that parents raising helpful children welcome young children and babies into family chores and work — even if the child will make a bit of a mess or slow down the work, just opposite to many of American parents. What they say is that, “I know they are not going to do a good job, but to create more work for me.” In fact, turning down help from kids can have a bad influence, destroying their desire to help and possibly stop their desire to take care of their families.

“Given request at an early age, the children would start to act on what’s needed, and then the less likely parents need to be telling them what to do later,” Lew-Levy, a psychologist in Harvard University, says “You can pull back on the teaching, and kids just do it on their own.” But how does a parent let a young baby help with a task they can’t actually do yet—especially a task that may be too dangerous for them? You can find specific instructions in the following chapter.

【1】What does the underlined word “charitable” mean in paragraph 1?

A．Selfish.

B．Dependent.

C．Helpful.

D．Curious.

【2】Which of the following best describes the parents raising helpful children?

A．Patient and serious.

B．Open-minded and thoughtful.

C．Influential and risky.

D．Hardworking and adventurous.

【3】What do Lew-Levy’s words mean?

A．Children just act on what their parents tell them to do.

B．Parents should allow kids to do whatever they want.

C．Parents are unlikely to tell children what to do at an early age.

D．Children are more voluntary when given requests at a young age.

【4】Which is the best title for the text?

A．How can We Parent Caring Kids?

B．How to Be Kind Parents?

C．The Helpful Children in Some Cultures

D．The Growing Experiences of Helpful Children

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

An elderly woman held out her card to pay for boots, but the cashier returned the card and said there was not enough money on it. The woman said that she recently underwent surgery and the insurance didn’t cover all the expenses. And now she was paying off the debt. She asked if she could buy the shoes in installments (分期付款), because her shoes were falling apart, and it was cold outside. The cashier replied that their store didn’t sell the goods in installments. The woman left the boots at the checkout and went to the exit. She looked at the rain outside the store doors and her old shoes.

A young man approached her and held out a box with a pair of boots that she had left at the checkout. “Take them, at your age you need to take care of yourself. These boots are my gift to you,” he said. The woman was surprised and said that she couldn’t accept such an expensive gift from a stranger. The man smiled and replied that it was not a gift. He was returning a debt that he couldn’t return to another person. He said that as a child he was a very poor but smart boy. The teacher noticed that he was only coming to school every other day. She found out where he lived, and came to his house. She wanted to talk to his mother and ask why he was skipping school.

The boy’s mom was at work. Then the teacher told him to pack up and go to school with her. He replied that he could not, saying that day was not his day to study, but his brother’s. The teacher was confused. Then the boy explained that his brother and he had only one pair of shoes. They didn’t have a father, and their mother’s salary was only enough for food. Therefore he and his brother took turns, and that day was his brother’s day to wear shoes and go to school.

注意：
