About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的) . No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (点头) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes' a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult (成人) it's just not done in Thailand .（ ）31 The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _ .A. were foreigners B. didn't have ticketsC. made a loud noise D. didn't line up for the bus （ ）32. According to the article, if you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you should _A. learn the language of the countrB. understand the manners and customs of the countryC. have enough time and moneyD. make friends with the people there （ ）33 In India it is considered impolite _. A. to use the right hand for passing food at table.B. to pass food with the left hand.C. to eat food with your hands.D. to help yourself at table. （ ）34. To cross one's legs at an important meeting in Europe is _.A. a common (平常的) habit B. an important mannerC. a serious (严重的) trouble D. a bad manner （ ）35. The best title (题目) for this article is _. A. Shaking and Nodding Head B. Taking a Bus in England C. People's Everyday Life D. Mind Your MannersBBritains smallest school was closed down because its only pupil failed to turn up for class, a famous British newspaper reported in May. The newspaper said the six-year-old girls parents were unhappy with a teacher who just got the new job to teach the only pupil.The school had been closed for the last nine months after its former (前任的) teacher retired（退休）and the only other pupil moved on to a secondary school. The new teacher, Ms Puckey, was to start teaching the girl and reopen the school. But the girls mother is keeping her daughter at home. “I was not pleased with the new teacher,” the mother said, “I had told the old teacher as far back as last September that if Ms Puckey got the job, my children would not be going to school.” The school lies on an island off the northeast coast of Scotland. Although there was only one pupil, the school is very good in many ways and has a headmaster, three computers, a television and an art room as well as a school house with three bedrooms.（ ）36.

Before the school was closed down_.A. the girls mother wanted to teach her daughter at homeB. the only pupil had to move to a secondary schoolC. a famous newspaper had written something about itD. the girls mother had a talk to the former teacher（ ）40. The reading doesnt say but we can infer (推断) that_.A. the girls mother had only one child               B. the new teacher was not kind to the girlC. the old teacher was fit to teach the girl    D. the parents were unhappy with the schoolCMy friend Matt and I arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening. The accommodation wasn't wonderful，but we had everything we needed (beds，blankets，food)，and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh air.On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends，Kevin and Simon，while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. There were some other members I didn't know. We had come from different places and none of us knew the area.We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors，but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves(岩洞) first. Climbing out was harder than going in，but after a good deal of pushing， we were out at last. Though we were covered with mud，we were pleased and excited by what we'd done.（ ）41.

This passage mainly talks about _.A. the writer's experience at the Activity CentreB. outdoor sports at the Activity CentreC. how to go rock-climbing and caving D. the writer's friends at the Activity CentreDWe have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. This is so familiar that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process (过程) is not as simple as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant (连续的) darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they normally do. In fact, they continued to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious (神秘的) way of knowing the time. Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inner clock”.This discovery (发现) may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also animals including man have this “inner clock” which controls the working of their bodies and influences (影响) their activities. Men, then, are also influenced by this mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food.In the past, this did not matter very much because people lived in natural condition. In the modern world, things are different; now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who have to work at night. It would be very useful, then, to know more about the “inner clock”. Such ordinary things as flowers might help us understand more about ourselves.（ ）46. A recent experiment showed that _. A. different flowers open and close at different times of day B. for their opening and closing, flowers do not need information from the outside world C. flowers are influenced by weak light even when they are in a dark room D. flowers can be used for telling the time（ ）47. The “inner clock” _. A. is an unimportant discovery B. is only found in animals C. has not been understood by far D. has an effect on human life（ ）48. Further study of the “inner clock” will be useful because _. A. the number of spacemen and airplane pilots is fast increasing B. we should try to live more naturally than we do nowC. it might help us in some way D. we do not yet understand plants and animals well enough（ ）49. Kept in constant darkness, flowers _. A. will not open or close as usual B. will not open any longer C. will open as they do in natural conditions D. will always remain in full blossom （ ）50. _ have a mysterious power of knowing time without information from the outside world. A. Animals including man as well as plants B. All living things except man C. Flowers are the only things in the world that D. Neither animals nor plants第 卷 非选择题一、完成句子 根据汉语提示完成下列句子（每空1分，计10分）51. （到目前为止）these soldiers have saved more than one hundred people.52.We have to _ _(想出) some new ideas to solve the environment problems.53 I _ _ (有困难)in learning grammar and memorizing new words.54 The police found the lost car _ _(偶然地).55 Watching the new TV play Yimeng_ _me_ _(使我想起)my hometown.二. 词汇运用(10分)()根据句意及首字母提示完成单词。(5分)56.
