A novelist.B. An actor.C. A firefighter.D. A minister.13. What do the listed books have in common？A. They are on saleB. They show concern over climateC. They are intended for teenagersD. They are set in CaliforniaBCulture and language are intertwined and shape each other. It is impossible to separate the two. Language is not a matter of grammatical rules. Each time we choose words, form sentences and send a message, we also make cultural choices. We all agree that language helps in communicating with people from different backgrounds. However, we may be less aware that cultural implications are necessary for understanding the language being used. If we choose language without being aware of the cultural implications, we may at best not communicate well and at worst send the wrong message.All languages have social questions and information questions. A social question, even though it comes in question form, does not ask for information. It is simply a helping hand to move the conversation forward. In American English the question “How are you?” is a social question. In many other countries, such as Germany, Russia, and Poland, “How are you?” is an information question. The speaker actually wants to get an answer to the question.Language reflects the environment in which we live. In the Amazon area snow is not part of the environment; therefore, people in that area do not have a word for “snow”. In areas where it snows occasionally, people have a word for “snow”, but it may be just one word without any differentiation. Most Americans, for example, use words such as snow, powder snow, sleet, slush, blizzard, and ice. That's the extent of most people's snow vocabulary. People who live in an environment where it snows most months of the year may have much more differentiated words for “snow”.In addition to the environment, language reflects cultural values. Edwards Hall, for example, points out that the Navajo do not have a word for “late”. Time, he tells us, does not play a role in Navajo life. There is a time to do something, a natural time rather than the artificial clock time that industrial countries use. So the Navajo do not have the differentiated vocabulary connected with time and clocks that Americans have.14. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “intertwined” in Paragraph 1 ?A. Different from each other. B. Difficult to be understood.C. Easily influenced by people. D. Closely connected to each other.15. Why does the author mention the “How are you?” question?A. To state the similarity of worldwide social communication.B. To give examples of the influence of education on language.C. To stress the importance of small talk in social communication.D. To explain different meanings of the same words in different cultures.16. What does Paragraph 3 suggest?A. Different areas have different climates.B. Word differentiation varies in different cultures.C. Living conditions may have an influence on the language.D. Different words may have the same meaning in different areas.CAn employee whose personality traits closely match the traits that are ideal for hisor her job is likely to earn more than an employee whose traits are less congruent (一致的), according to new research.Findings from previous research have shown that some personality traits are generally beneficial when it comes to a work environment. Being highly conscientious ( 勤勉认真的), lead researcher Jaap J.A. Denissen notes, is connected with being hard-working and well-organized, qualities that are typically prized in employees. But Denissen questioned the idea that there is an ideal personality type. The researchers thought that the match, or mismatch, between a person's traits and job requirements, might be important when it comes to important outcomes like income.The researchers developed a new way of directly comparing the fit between a given employee and a given job, using the well-established Big Five personality traits to quantify ( 量化) the traits that a job requires. The researchers examined personality, yearly income, and jobs of 8,458 persons living in Germany.The results showed that fit really does matter, at least when it comes to extraversion, agreeableness, and openness to experiences. For these three traits, greater congruence between an employee's own personality and a job's requirements was connected with higher income. Importantly, the data also showed that employees who were more agreeable, more conscientious, or more open to experiences than their jobs required actually earned less than people who had congruent levels of those traits.The researchers note that additional studies will be required to understand how job experiences, job satisfaction, and job performance might influence the association between the individual job personality fit and income. The results of the present study do suggest that achieving the right fit requires a special approach to knowing both personal traits and job-related traits. Paying attention to the approach could have important implications for both employees and employers.17. What does the previous research show?A. Conscientious people earn much.B. Certain personality traits are advantageous in jobs.C. Job requirements are decisive in choosing an employee.D. People's income can be predicted simply by the work environment.18. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. How the new research was done.B. A study on Big Five personality traits.C. Denissen's opinions on previous research.D. Why certain personalities are needed for a job.19. What is the result of the new research?A. Employees with a strong personality earn more than others.B. Having too little of a given trait will cause less job satisfaction.C. A perfect individual job personality fit contributes to higher income.D. Conscientious employees earn more than those who are open to experiences.20. What do researchers say about their new research?A. It still needs further studies.B. It has been applied to job interviews.C. It will help people find the right job easily.D. It has proved the previous study totally wrong.第二节 语句排序（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）将下列五个句子(A、B、C、D 和 E)按题号顺序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。 21 22 23 24 25A.
