第二部分 閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）

第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

A

Time talks. It speaks more simply than words. Time communicates in many ways.

Consider the different parts of the day， for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. Factory managers in the United States fully realize the importance of an announcement made during the middle of the morning or afternoon that takes everyone away from his work.

In the United States， it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day， while he is shaving （刮胡子） or having breakfast， the time of the call shows that the matter is very urgent and needs immediate attention. It is the same with telephone calls made after 11：00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours， he probably thinks it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.

The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world. Thus， misunderstanding arises between people from cultures that treat time differently. In the United States， people often think of time as something fixed in nature， something from which one cannot escape. As a rule， Americans think of time as a road into the future， along which one progresses. The road has many sections， which are to be kept separate... “One thing at a time”. Thus， an American may feel angry when he has made an appointment with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.

Americans look ahead and are concerned almost entirely with the future. The American idea of the future is limited， however. It is the foreseeable future and not the future involving many centuries.

Since time has many different meanings in different cultures， communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.

21. Why is it important to make an announcement during the day in a factory according to Paragraph 2？

A. It has a special meaning to the workers. B. It communicates in many ways.

C. It makes everyone lose his job. D. It is made by the manager.

22. In the view of the writer， a phone call made after 11：00 pm in the United States is considered ____ .

A. to be a threat to the receivers life B. as important as one made in the morning

C. impolite since it disturbs the receivers sleep D. even more urgent than one made early in the morning

23. The underlined expression “the foreseeable future” in Paragraph 5 could be most suitably replaced by “____ ”.

A. the future that will not be far away B. the future which involves centuries

C. the future that one looks forward to D. the future toward which one makes progress

24. The writer concludes that people from different countries will understand each other better if they____ .

A. are concerned with the future B. learn the way time communicates

C. treat different cultures in the same way D. know how to communicate with each other

B

Have you ever wondered why you sometimes take an almost immediate liking to a person you have just met？ We often get the first impression of a people based on the color of a persons skin or the manner in which he or she dressed. Meaning is expressed not only by words or verbal （言語的） languages but also by nonverbal communication systems， such as body behaviors.

Nonverbal communication is important because we use the actions of others to learn about their affective emotional states. Our emotions are reflected in our posture， face， and eyes—be it fear， joy， anger， or sadness—so we can express them without ever saying a word. For this reason， most of us rely heavily on what we learn through our eyes.

Nonverbal communication is important in human interaction because it is usually responsible for the first impressions. More importantly， those first messages usually influence the perception （感知） of everything else that follows. Even how we select friends and sexual partners is grounded in first impressions with nonverbal communication.

Nonverbal communication is important because it is culture-related. It is based on different beliefs， religions， values and customs in different cultures. When， where， how， and to whom people display his or her specific nonverbal behaviors is greatly affected by culture and context. Culture determines what the proper nonverbal behavior is. For example， feelings of friendship exist everywhere but their expression varies. It may be proper in some countries for men to hug each other and for women to hold hands； in other countries these displays of affection may be shocking. Each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication. What is acceptable in one culture may be completely unacceptable in another. One culture may determine that snapping fingers （打響指） to call a waiter is acceptable； another may consider this gesture rude.

25. Why can we know a persons emotions through his eyes？

A. They can be seen on his face.

B. We can learn them through our eyes.

C. They can be reflected through his eyes.

D. We can have nonverbal communication with him.

26. What can we conclude from the last paragraph？

A. Each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication.

B. We can use different ways to express friendship.

C. Learning a countrys culture is very important.

D. Snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable.

27. How many reasons are mentioned in the text to show nonverbal communication is important？

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.

28. What is the best title of the text？

A. Nonverbal Communication and First Impression B. Nonverbal Communication Is Culture-related

C. Importance of Nonverbal Communication D. Nonverbal and Verbal Communication

For the next week， more than one million visitors to the nations capital will be seeing pink. Thousands of cherry trees （櫻花樹） are in full blossom （盛開） all over the city， and the yearly National Cherry Blossom Festival will begin soon in Washington， D. C.

A blooming friendship

The two-week festival celebrates Japans gift of 3，000 cherry trees to the United States in 1912. The trees symbolized the growing friendship between the two nations. On March 27， 1912， First Lady Helen Herron Taft， wife of then President Howard Taft， and Viscountess Chinda， wife of the Japanese ambassador （大使）， planted the first two cherry trees on the north bank of the Tidal Basin in Washington， D. C. Later Japan presented 3，800 more cherry trees to the USA.

The cherry trees turned out to be helpful to Japan as well. After floods washed away the countrys Yoshino cherry trees in the early 1980s， Japan collected more than 800 cuttings from cherry trees near the Tidal Basin to replace those that were lost.

Growing a festival

The festival began in 1935 as a three-day celebration. In 1994， it was extended to two weeks， to make time for the Cherry Blossom Princess and Cherry Blossom Queen programs， cultural shows， tours， sporting events and exhibits.

Today， the festival has come to symbolize the beginning of spring. Over the years， it has brought hundreds of thousands of people from around the world to the area.

A running start

This year， the National Park service will host the first-ever “cherry chit-chat” runs in the early morning for three days during the festival. It will focus on the cultural history and the deep meaning of the cherry trees.

__________

The event ends with the Parade of the National Cherry Blossom Festival on the last day. Its one of the largest public activities of the year. There are movie， television and Broadway stars along with bands， old-fashioned cars and big balloons.

29. The floods in Japan are mentioned in “A blooming friendship” mainly to ____ .

A. prove that the cherry trees are strong

B. suggest Japan is not fit to grow cherry trees

C. tell us the floods can cause great damage to cherry trees

D. show the lasting friendship between Japan and the United States

30. What is special about the festival celebrations this year？

A. The “cherry chit-chat” runs. B. The sporting events.

C. The cultural shows. D. The Parade.

Look at the center circles of Diagram A and Diagram B. Which of the center circles looks larger？

Take a first look and you probably think that the center circle in Diagram A is smaller than that in Diagram B. In fact， they are exactly the same size.

Then look at the picture on the right. What do you see？ A vase？ Or two faces？ Does the picture change quickly from one to the other again and again？ Maybe or maybe not， but you can see them at the same time.

“Whats happening？ Is there something wrong with my eyes？” You may wonder at what you see. Dont worry. Here is how it goes：

When we look at things， our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret （理解） the information. However， sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. It seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it “visual illusion （幻覺）”.

Movie makers often make use of illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey， I Shrunk the Kids just make use of illusions.

32. In which column of a magazine can you read this text？

A. Culture. B. Science. C. Humor. D. Education.

33. Why does the center circle in Diagram A looks smaller than that in Diagram B？

A. Something is wrong with our eyes. B. The two circles are not of the same size.

C. Our brains interpret the information wrongly. D. Pictures change quickly from one to the other.

34. Which paragraph can explain why Line CD seems

longer than Line AB in the picture on the right？

A. Paragraph 3. B. Paragraph 4. C. Paragraph 5. D. Paragraph 6.

35. Whats the right order according to the text？

a. We look at things with our eyes.

b. Our brains interpret the messages.

c. Our brains tell us what we have seen.

d. Our eyes send messages to our brains.

A. a-d-b-c B. c-a-b-d C. a-c-d-b D. b-e-a-d

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Two brightly colored butterflies （蝴蝶） have just flown by. They seem to be exactly alike， but actually one is a little larger than the other. 36 The smaller one has a wingspread （翼幅） of less than three inches and also a black line on its back wings.

At first sight， it is hard to tell them apart. Would you guess from this that they are different-sized butterflies of the same species？

37 If you said yes to either question， you would be wrong， for these look-alikes belong to quite different families.

The larger insect is the monarch butterfly （黑脈金斑蝶）. As a baby insect， the monarch feeds on milkweed， which seems to give the monarch a disagreeable taste and smell. 38 Birds that eat butterflies soon recognize the monarch and quickly learn to leave it alone.

39 Birds would find this insect tasty， but because it looks like the monarch， birds keep away from it. The viceroys （副王峽蝶的） similarity to the monarch gives it some protection from its enemies and helps it survive.

There are other pairs of look-alike butterflies or bees. In each case， one either has a disagreeable taste or smell， or can give a painful sting （叮咬）. 40 The insect that imitates this model for protection is called the mimic （保護(hù)色）.

A. The larger is called the model.

B. Do you like this kind of special species？

C. The larger insect has a wingspread of up to four inches.

D. They protect their babies from eating such dangerous enemies.

E. The smaller insect is the viceroy， which feeds on the leaves of trees.

F. The bright coloring of the monarch acts as a warning sign to its enemy.

G. Or that they are different species of butterflies but close relatives belonging to the same family？

36. 37. 38. 39. 40.
