小题1: B
解析 由首句“身体语言是所有语言中沉默、秘密而又最有力量的语言!”可知,本句应表达“身体语言比口头语言更有说服力”,所以选louder。
小题2: D
解析 根据上文的“身体语言是最有力量的语言”可知,我们的身体传递出比我们意识到的更多的信息,所以messages符合句意。
小题3: D
解析 本句意为:实际上,非言语交际大约占我们所要表达的真正意思的50%。mean意思是,本意是。
小题4: C
解析 上文说到身体语言在交际中的作用,本句则说明身体语言在跨文化交流时的重要作用,所以使用important。
小题5: C
解析 本句意为:的确,我们所说的身体语言在我们的生活中占了如此大的比重,但实际上往往未被注意到。结合句意可知,四个选项中,只有much跟“a+名词”连用合适。
小题6: A
解析 下文作者给出了一个实例来说明不同文化背景的人对于“个人空间”的不同习俗,所以此处使用for example,意为“例如”。
小题7: B
解析 下文举的例子与“个人空间”有关,所以此处使用distance,表示“距离”。
小题8:C
解析 由下文描述的挪威人不断地后退可知,北欧人不喜欢与其他人有身体上的(bodily)接触,所以C项正确。
小题9: A
解析 与前面的even with friends构成对比,此处应表示“陌生人”。
小题10: B
解析 与北欧人的习俗构成对比,拉丁美洲人喜欢肢体接触,所以此处用on the other hand“另一方面”,表示转折。in other words换句话说;in a similar way类似方式地;by all means当然可以。
小题11: B
解析 由于习俗不同,所以挪威人与拉丁美洲人在谈话(conversation)时,就会出现拉丁美洲人追着挪威人说话的情形,故选B项。
小题12: D
解析 根据上题解析,拉丁美洲人追着挪威人,所以使用following。
小题13: A
解析 谈话过程中拉丁美洲人一直在靠近挪威人,所以使用closer。
小题14:C
解析 挪威人由于不喜欢与别人靠得太近,所以只能不停地后退,故选C项。
小题15: D
解析 挪威人的后退在拉丁美洲人的眼中是一种冷漠(coldness),所以D项正确。
小题16: A
解析 这一段是对上文的总结,在人们交谈(talk)时,有很多事情在发生着,所以A项正确。

People use their mouths for many things.They eat,talk,shout and sing.They smile and they kiss.In the English language,there are many expressions using the word “mouth”.
For example,if you say bad things about a person,the person might protest(抗议) and say “Do not bad mouth me.” Sometimes,people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that person.Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell.The speaker might say,“I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” If this should happen,the speaker might feel down in the mouth.In other words,he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.

During the twentieth-century there has been a great change in the lives of women. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until sixty.
This important change in women's life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.
46. We are told that in a family in about 1900        .
A. few children died before they were five
B. seven or eight children lived to be more than five
C. the youngest child would be fifteen
D. four or five children died when they were five
47.One reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she         .
A. is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselves
B. does not like children herself
C. needn't worry about food for her children
D. can be free from family duties when she reaches sixty
48. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to        .
A. stay at home after leaving school         
B. marry men younger than themselves
C. start working again later in life          
D. marry while still at school
49.Many girls are now likely to       .
A. give up their jobs for good after they are married
B. leave school as soon as they can
C. marry so that they can get a job
D. continue working until they are going to have a baby
50. Now a husband probably        .

Almost anywhere in the world, you can probably see graffiti (涂鸦画). Although it’s usually more common in big cities, it can be found in almost any community, big or small.
The problem with graffiti art is the question of whether it’s really art. This isn’t always an easy question to answer, simply because there are so many different types of graffiti. While some simply consists of collections of letters, known as tags, with little artistic value, such examples are easy to find, especially on larger spaces such as walls.
If it weren’t for the fact that most graffiti is placed on private property without permission, it might be more commonly recognized as a legal form of art. Most graffiti, however, annoys the property owner, who is more likely to paint over it or remove it than accept it as art.
Many ways of removing graffiti have been developed, such as paints that dissolve graffiti paint, or make it easy to remove. Community groups and government departments often organize graffiti-removal teams.
It hardly makes sense to encourage artists to deface (丑化) private or public property; but perhaps there are ways to work with them rather than just oppose them. Graffiti artists can, for example, create murals (壁画) for property owners, and get paid for them.
Maybe we need to start at a very basic level, and find a way to encourage the creation of graffiti art on paper or canvas rather than on walls. After all, who would remember Monet or Picasso if they’d created their masterpieces on walls, only to have them painted over the next day? Finding a solution to such a complex problem is never going to be easy, but with more and more graffiti art being recognized in galleries around the world, we do need to try.
小题1:What would be the best title for this passage?
A.How to Be a Good Graffiti Artist.
B.Stop Removing Graffiti!
C.Do You Like Graffiti?
D.Is Graffiti Art?
小题2:The reason why people remove graffiti is that it ______.
A.makes buildings uglyB.has no artistic value at all
C.robs private propertyD.takes up too much space
小题3:In Paragraph 4, the underlined word "dissolve" is closest in meaning to ______.
A.changeB.flowC.removeD.freeze
小题4:The example of Monet and Picasso are mentioned in the passage to indicate that ______.
A.they are world-famous artists
B.they are good at graffiti
C.walls are right places to keep their masterpieces
D.their works, if painted on the wall, might not be kept long
小题5:The writer’s attitude toward graffiti is that graffiti ______.
A.should be removed by more countries
B.should be saved on larger spaces
C.should be created only on paper or canvas
D.may be accepted as art

It is hard to imagine that such a small country,the size of Indiana with the population of Alaska,tucked in the Himalaya Mountains,accessible only by two airplanes,is the “Happiest Country’’ in the world and has one of the fastest growing GDP’S in the world.This country is Bhutan,“Land of the Thunder Dragon”,which is located in South Asia and is encompassed by India,China,and Nepal.
Bhutan is the last standing Buddhist Kingdom in the World and,until recently,has preserved much of their culture since the l7th century by avoiding globalization and staying isolated from the world.Internet,television,and western dress were banned from the country up until ten years ago.Over the past ten years globalization has begun to change in Bhutan,but things remain perfectly balanced.
Bhutan is the only country in the world that has a ‘GNH’,which refers to “Gross National Happiness.’’The process of measuring GNH began when Bhutan opened up to globalization.It measures people’s quality of life,and makes sure that “material and spiritual development happen together.”Bhutan has done an amazing job of finding this balance.Bhutan has continually been ranked as the happiest country in all of Asia,and the eighth Happiest Country in the world according to Business Week.In 2007,Bhutan had the second fastest growing GDP in the world,at the same time as maintaining their environment and cultural identity.
In 2008,in Bhutan’s first democratic election,28-year-old Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wang Chuck was elected president of Bhutan.He promises to “maintain a stance (立场)of protection against the worst aspects of globalization,maintaining the ‘Gross National Happiness’.”But Jigme himself is no stranger to globalization.He attended high school at Phillips Academy and university at Wheaton College and then graduated from Oxford.

In 1935, the clarinetist and bandleader Benny Goodman, aged just twenty?six, left New York with his fourteen?piece “swing” band and, traveling in a ragtag group of cars, headed for the huge Palomar Ballroom in Los Angeles. It was not an easy trip. ?There were half a dozen dismal, sparsely attended one?nighters and three weeks at a dance hall in Denver, where the band was forced to play waltzes, tangos, and novelty numbers. On the opening night at the Palomar, the band played ballad numbers in the first set, and there was little response from the dancers. Then one of the musicians said, if they were going to bomb again they might well do it in style. So Goodman called for his hot, often uptempo arrangements, many of them by the ingenious black bandleader and arranger Fletcher Henderson, and the kids stopped dancing, clustered around the bandstand, and began roaring. ?Before the weeks at the Palomar were over, it was clear that Goodman had suddenly made jazz—still a suspect and largely subliminal American folk music, despite the brilliant inventions during the previous decade of Jelly Roll Morton and others—into a popular music.
Goodman?s surprising ways continued. In 1936, he shook up the white entertainment establishment by hiring two black musicians—the elegant pianist Teddy Wilson and the plunging vibraphonist Lione Hampton. (To be sure, Wilson and Hampton did not play in the band; instead, they appeared with Goodman and the drummer Gene Krupa during intermissions.) A year later, when the band went into the Paramount Theater in New York for three weeks, legions of kids appeared, and a screaming, dancing riot nearly took place. ?It was the first great American show frenzy, and it prepared the way for the Sinatra frenzy of 1947, and for all the Beatles frenzies, and for all the mindless rock?borne frenzies of the Seventies and Eighties.
Then, on the night of January 16, 1938, Goodman, challenging the long?hairs, took his band into a sold?out Carnegie Hall. The big band played a dozen numbers, the trio two numbers, and the quartet five numbers. ?Despite the immediate rumblings from Olin Downes, the Times?s classical music critic (“The playing last night, if noise, speed and beat, all old devices, are heat, was “hot” as it could be, but nothing came of it all, and in the long run it was decidedly monotonous”), Goodman?s concert moved jazz even further up the American popular register. [412 words]

A  a general review of Jazz music.

New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. It's now a "global village" where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communication equipment is greatly improved by foreign language skills.
Deeply involved with this new technology is a kind of modem businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support home business efforts.
Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks (管理层). The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being "out of sight and out of mind." He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company's plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more popular.
Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communication devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.
English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn't generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.
The employee posted abroad who speaks the country's official language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign partners over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset(资产)to the firm.
小题1:What is the author's attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?
A.Negative.B.Positive.C.Prejudiced.D.discontented.
小题2:With the increased use of high-tech communication equipment, business people ________.
A.are eager to work overseas
B.have to get familiar with modem technology
C.are attaching more importance to their overseas businesses
D.are gaining more economic benefits from domestic businesses
小题3:In paragraph 3, "out of sight and out of mind" (Line 2-3) probably means ________.
A.leaving all care and worry behind
B.being totally out of touch with business at home
C.being unable to think properly for lack of insight
D.missing opportunities for promotion when abroad
小题4:According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today?
A.Ability to speak the customer's language.
B.Connections with businesses over seas
C.Technical know-how.
D.Business experience.
小题5:The advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can _________.
A.fast-forward their proposals to their bosses.
B.better control the whole negotiation process
C.easily make friends with business people abroad
D.easily find new approaches to meet market needs

Three­quarters of a million tourists flock to the white beaches every year, but this booming industry has come at a price. Poisonous smoke rising from open fires, rubbish made up of plastic bottles, packets...it's_a_far_cry_from the white sands, clear waters and palm trees that we associate with the Maldives(马尔代夫), the paradise island holiday destination set in the Indian Ocean.
Of its 200 inhabited islands, which are spread across an area of 35,000 square miles, 99 are good resorts(度假胜地). So many tourists come every year, more than double the local population. Of these tourists, over 100,000 travel from the UK. The capital, Malé, is four times more densely populated than London. Given these facts, it's hardly surprising that the Maldives has a waste disposal problem.
Years ago, when the tourists left, the government had to deal with a stream of rubbish. Their solution was to turn one of the islands into a dumping ground. Four miles west of Malé is the country's dumping ground, Thilafushi. What you are seeing here is a view of the Maldives on which no honeymooners will ever clap eyes. Each visitor produces 3.5 kg of waste per day. The country dumps more than 330 tons of rubbish on the island every day.
Now, since many waste boats, fed up with waiting seven hours or more, directly offload their goods into the sea, the government of the Maldives has banned the dumping of waste on the island. So, the waste boats ship the rubbish to India instead.
小题1:What is the main cause of the waste disposal problem?
A.The big local population.
B.Too many waste boats.
C.The large number of tourists.
D.Open fires on the islands.
小题2:The underlined part can probably be replaced by “________”.
A.it's quite similar to B.it's a long distance from
C.it's a loud shout fromD.it's totally different from
小题3:What can we learn from the text?
A.It is much more crowded in Malé than in London.
B.Another island will be used as a dumping ground.
C.No honeymooners are willing to visit the Maldives.
D.Waste on islands will be offloaded directly into the sea.
小题4:What's the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To attract more tourists to the Maldives.
B.To state the waste disposal problem in the Maldives.
C.To call on us to protect the environment.
D.To explain the causes of pollution in the Maldives.

“Tom!”
There was no answer.
“Tom!”
Still no answer.
“Where’s that boy gone? Tom!”
The old lady looked all around the room. She looked under the bed, but found only the cat.
“If I catch that boy, …” she murmured to herself.
She opened the door and looked out into the garden.
“Tom!” she shouted.
Then she heard a slight noise behind her. She turned round just in time to catch the boy as he came out of a cupboard.
“And what have you been doing in there?”
“Nothing,” said the boy.
“Nothing! Look at your hands and your mouth! What is that stuff?”
“I don’t know, Aunt.”
“Well, I know. It’s a jam. I’ve told you forty times that if you touched that jam, I’d skin you.

“Look out, Aunt! Look behind you!”
The old lady turned round and Tom was out of the door in a flash, over the garden fence and away.
“Damn that boy! Will I never learn? He’s always playing tricks on me. And he seems to know just now how far he can go, too. But I can’t take a stick to him. I really can’t. After all, he’s my dead sister’s boy. Ah well, he’ll play truant today and I’ll have to make him work tomorrow.”
At supper Aunt Polly tried to trick Tom into admitting that he hadn’t gone to school.
“It was rather hot today, wasn’t it, Tom?”
“Yes,” answered Tom.
“You didn’t have to open your shirt collar where I sewed(缝) it, then.”
Tom was confident, now. He opened his jacket. His collar was securely sewed.
“Oh Tom,” said Aunt Polly. “You’re a good boy really.”
She was sorry that she had been wrong about him.
“But Aunt,” came a voice. It was Sidney, Tom’s younger brother. “Didn’ t you sew Tom’s collar with white cotton? Look! Now it’s black.
Tom was already running out of the door.
