Man wants to make money from trees, so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-make the rain in-and also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.21.The most important points of trees to man is _.A. they help him to make moneyB. they give him cool C. they give him wood and other thingsD. they help him to stop drought and floods22.In many places forests slowly disappear because _ .A. many trees have been cut down by manB. new trees are not well looked after C. man has not paid enough attention to planting treesD. all the above23.Land becomes desert after all trees are cut down because _ .A. roots of trees break up the soilB. there are too many rainfallsC. strong winds bring a lot of sandD. there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.24.Which title best fits the passage?A.

King Arthur CMy wife and I used to feel that it was impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name we didnt know. How wrong we were! Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the same group of “nameless” people have changed our thinking.Before the bus takes off, we all join in a conversation: wheres the silent woman who sits up front and never responds to our cheery greetings? Here she comes. Her worn clothing suggests she doesnt have much money to spare, but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand. When they get off, theyre still holding hands. The woman was pregnant late last year, and one day her change of shape confirmed that shed delivered the child. We even felt a little pride at the thought of our extended family.For many months, our only sadness lay in our inability to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus. Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant. We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone. It was the woman from the bus.We greeted her with friendly familiarity wed shown all year, but this time her face softened, then a shy smile. When she spoke, the words escaped awkwardly from her lips. All at once we realized why she hadnt spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.Over dinner; we learned the stay of a single mother with a disabled son who was receiving special care away from home. She missed him desperately, she explained.“I love him and he loves me, even though he doesnt express it very well,” she murmured. “Lots of us have that problem, dont we? We dont say what we want to say, what we should be saying. And thats not good enough.”The candles flared on our tables. Our fish had never tasted better. But the atmosphere grew pleasant, and when we parted as friendswe shared names.28. Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?A. Friends of the Road B.

She was only interested in the bus driver.DFluency(流利) in another language is one of the most important aims of a newcomer to another country. In addition, understanding the culture and learning to communicate comfortably with people of that culture are as important as learning the rules of the language. Language learning and culture learning go together and may take a long time.Sometimes people feel that they understand a culture after a few weeks or months. People do learn a lot when they first begin living in another culture, but this is only the first stage of learning. It usually involves(含包) things like learning everyday activities and some basic customs.To really understand another culture, people have to go beyond the first stage, This is challenge because it is often difficult to know what to learn. Much of what we call “culture” is hard to see.Culture is like an iceberg(冰山). Picture in your mind a huge iceberg in the ocean. The only part of the iceberg that you see is the tip. You dont see the rest of the iceberg because it is hidden from sight in the water. It is easy to forget that it is there. Most of the iceberg is deep within the ocean, just as much of a culture is deep within its people.When you meet someone from another culture, certain culture differences are obvious: You hear another language or you hear your own language spoken with an accent. You see different foods, clothes and sometimes physical characteristics of people. You observe new customs or habits, such as the use of chopsticks, and, bowing or kissing on both cheeks as a greeting. These differences are interesting and important, but they are usually not too difficult to understand. They are visible so they are seen easily and quickly.The part of culture that is like the underwater part of the iceberg consists of assumptions(设想), communication styles, values, and beliefs about what is right and wrong. The hidden part of culture affects much of a persons way of thinking and communicating. It is the meaning behind his or her verbal (言语的) and nonverbal language. Learning to communicate well with people from another culture involves becoming aware of the hidden part of culture.32. Whats the subject of this passage? A. Learning about culture. B. Language learning. C. The hidden part of the iceberg. D. Fluency in another language.33. What is learning about culture? A. Learning the hidden part of the iceberg, which is underwater. B. Learning everyday activities and some basic customs. C. Learning the culture of an iceberg. D. Learning the visible as well as the hidden differences of culture.34. Whats the writers opinion? A. Communication styles can be easily seen and learned. B. Language learning is more important than culture learning. C. Learning about culture is not easy and may take a long time. D. People usually learn a culture after a few weeks or months.35. The underlined phrase “consists of” can be replaced by “_”. A. lies in B. is made up of C. agrees with D. is different from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。 If you ever want to invite your foreign friend to dine out but are not sure what dish to order, _36_, better known as Kung Pao Chicken. It is a safe bet. In fact, the dish was named one of the top 10 most popular Chinese dishes in the world by the ABC News Point website in April. And at the Beijing premiere (首映) of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2,_37_ , the leading actress Jennifer Lawrence said Kung Pao Chicken was her favorite Chinese dish. Kung Pao Chicken is beautiful to look at: Its a mixture (混合) of chicken, golden peanuts and bright red chilies. The chicken should be cooked just right, so that it is wonderfully juicy (多汁的). _38_. The tasty dish is not only easy to find in many Chinese restaurants but is also one of the most popular foods on Chinese restaurants menus in other countries.

This helps explain the success of Kung Pao Chicken among foreigners,” Corrado Michelazzo, an Italian chef (厨师) who also enjoys Chinese food, told CNN. _39_.Michelazzo explained that Westerners enjoy the balanced (平衡的) taste of the dishs sauce.Thus, _40_, “Kung Pao Chicken won the hearts of generations of Westerners who grew up with Chinese restaurants down the street.”A.
