different countries have different 37 . what is acceptable in one country may be completely unacceptable in 38 . for example, in china holding up ones thumb means “good”, but holding up the small finger has the 39 meaning, “ 40 ”. to show the badness in other countries, people may use different gestures, holding thumbs downwards, etc. interestingly, when you wave goodbye 41 someone who is going 42 from you, he may come 43 to you, because that gesture means “come 44 ! ” in his country. the eyes are said to be “the windows of the heart”. but eye contact may 45 different meanings. in the united states and other western countries, speakers and listeners look in 46 eyes to show attention and interest and respect. in china, indonesia and rural(乡村的) places in mexico, lowering ones eyes is a sign 47 respect, and too much eye contact shows 48 manners. its good manners 49 an arab to stand close 50 his friend when they are talking. but english people 51 like to be too close to one another 52 there is a reason. it could be very interesting to watch an arab and englishman 53 together. the arab who is friendly will move 54 to the englishman. while the englishman moves back in order to

阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。(a)in this age of media technology where the internet is playing a more and more important role in our lives, how do you usually get information? for many students and office workers, their first internet stop is the search engine google: for any information they want, they simply type in a keyword, click “enter”, and within seconds relevant web pages appear out. so are people still reading books? the answer is surely yes. its simply not realistic to use a computer to read a novel. but reading habits in china, and other countries, are changing. mr. li, a businessman, says his purpose in reading is to get practical knowledge. “i like stories of successful people and books that give advice on how people become successful. besides, i read books with basic knowledge, ” said li. “i like funny books, especially japanese funny books, ” said xing mingyan, a junior student, who reads only for entertainment. “i like to read cookbooks, ” said miss zhang, an office worker, who usually reads magazines. “and i usually buy fashion magazines. ” it seems that the purposes of reading have changed a lot. people dont tend to read for entertainment as much. they usually read to learn. books that teach people how to be more successful, wealthier or more beautiful stay on the best-seller charts for a long time. people are also interested in buying funny books and magazines. just remember how the funny novels of jimmy liao took china and other countries by storm. but educators say reading is important to teach people and also to develop their imaginations and language skills. no matter what you like to read, why not turn off the computer and television and read a good book, make yourself comfortable and open the door to another world? 56. which of the following is true? a. educators say reading is useful in improving peoples language skills. b. xing mingyan, a senior student, especially likes japanese funny books. c. jimmy liaos serious stories made him well-known in china and other countries. d. miss zhang likes reading funny magazines and fashion magazines. 57. whats the main idea of the passage? a. people shouldnt watch tv or get information from the internet. b. peoples reading habits and purposes are changing. c. a lot of people like reading. d. books are more popular than the internet. 58. this passage is most probably_. a. an advertisementb. a funny storyc. a personal diaryd. a newspaper article59. from the passage we can infer that the writer thinks_. a. books are more important than the internet b. books are as important as the internetc. its pleasant and useful to read good booksd. books can give us more information than the internet(b)recently, a domestic matchmaking service website issued a special list: mens occupations which are most attractive to women. civil servants, who are considered as people holding “iron ice bowls”, turn out to be the first priority on the list. the decent work and stable income make “civil servant” a career that not only millions of people pursue, but its also one which people try to be related with, especially the direct relationship, marrying a civil servant, for instance. there are actually some girls who claim that “i only want to marry a civil servant”. these girls are becoming famous on the internet and are known as “jia wan zu(嫁碗族)”, which means a group of girls who only want to marry guys holding “iron ice bowls”. according to some “jia wan zu”, “civil servants are a group of people with relative high education and high inner quality. they have a more competitive attitude to life, thoughts and moral character than other groups”. “because of the close relationship between marriage, family and personal political future, civil servants are mostly dutiful in marriage. ” “most of civil servants can not be as rich as merchants, but they do not have great ups and downs in income, so they can maintain a middle or upper quality of life”. in addition, some girls also think civil servants have a relative high social class that extends to them, too. and marrying a civil servant could equal to investing into a potential stock; once their future-husbands get promoted, it would bring many benefits to their family. however, some experts treat the idea of “jia wan zu” as a wrong thought. they say although “bread” for living in todays society is very important, the basis of marriage and a familys happiness is still affection between both parents. if a girl married a civil servant just because of his career, then she might feel fortunate but not necessarily happy. 60. this passage mainly tells us that_. a. occupation is now the first priority in chinese marriageb. women in china are eager to work as civil servantsc. many girls want to marry civil servants in todays chinad. it is becoming harder to be a civil servant now61. people pursue to be civil servants for the reasons except_ . a. decent workb. high tensionc. comfortable conditiond. stable income62. in chinese girls eyes, civil servants have an advantage over other groups in_ . a. communication experienceb. personal qualityc. relativesd. family income63. this passage may be taken from china daily in the column of _ news. a. societyb. culturec. entertainmentd. health(c)i quit the game，wow，a couple of years ago. my life has improved dramatically. i went from being single to being engaged，i received a second promotion in my career，and life couldnt be better. but even then，i still had an urge to play and i thought about it every day. about a month ago，i decided to start playing again. my friends still played and claimed that its better than before. so i figured id give it a shot，and so far ive managed my time well. but the funny thing is that im not enjoying it as much as i thought i would. that sense of accomplishment i used to have back then is gone. i figured out why. . . my enjoyment in the game came from progression. i loved accomplishing quests，hitting 60，and then beating the bosses with 40 other people. some nights sucked (糟透了)，when nothing was done. but other nights，when we beat the hell out of a main boss，it felt incredible. i was actually progressing and improving in something. it may not have been real life，but it was there，on my screen，and it was visible for all to see. but now ive actually pursued tangible goals，and realized the sense of accomplishment in wow is worthless. i dont get excited when the list of epic drops from a boss is sent to me from my friends. i havent even been interested in getting a flying mount，or pvp gear. i just dont really care about them. i actually dont care about anything that happens in the game，except for some quests. one out of every ten quests you do has an enjoyable story that makes it more interesting. but even so，they are what you can get out of a book，or a good single player game. even though wow is enjoyable in some aspects，its extremely boring in others. now to me，above all，its not worth my time to go through it. 64. the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to_. a. the gameb. the urgec. the promotiond. the goal65. why did the writer quit the game a couple of years ago？a. because he found much more fun from other games. b. because he couldnt get progression sometimes. c. because he followed his girlfriends advice. d. this passage doesnt tell us. 66. according to the passage，we can infer that_. a. wow has changed greatlyb. wow is attractive to everybodyc. the writer was once addicted to wowd. wow helps you improve your life67. what can be concluded from the last paragraph？a. playing wow is time-consuming. b. the writer wont play wow any more. c. we must play the game in a proper way. d. everyone should be responsible for his or her family. (d)the early 1900s were very different from today. toys，though they have evolved in many ways，were still the delight of children everywhere. theodore roosevelts presidency marks the beginning of the “teddy bear”. in the year 1902，toy bears were named “teddy” after the presidents nickname. the teddy bear became known worldwide， and is still known and loved today. it was only a few years later that the teddy bears were mass-produced. in 1913，an item called the erector set was invented. it was a steel，motorized toy that children could use to build models of anything. its creator was a. c. gilbert，a medical doctor. charles pajeau created a similar wooden set called tinker toys in the year 1914. tinker toys were made for younger children. raggedy ann dolls first came on the scene after newspaper cartoonist johnny gruelle reproduced the doll he made for his daughter. that was in 1915. the following year，an architects son named john lloyd wright，invented lincoln logs，which were interlocked to make structures. two years after mickey mouse was created，stuffed(填塞)mickey mouse dolls were made by charlotte clark. this was the start of disney merchandise. the yo-yo became popular in the united states after donald duncan bought a yo-yo company in 1929. the view-master，a three dimensional viewer，was developed by a camera enthusiast named william gruber. the toy became popular when gruber licensed disney characters to make still, 3-d images from disney movies and television programs. finally，in 1940，model airplanes were mass produced. they started out as a way for manufacturers to sell planes to the military，but later caught on as a toy. the toys that we know and love today have had their roots from these ancient times. isnt it interesting to know that if it hadnt been for all these creative people，most of the games you know today would never have been？68. why were toy bears named “teddy”？a. to be suitable for mass production. b. to be easily pronounced by children. c. to meet the advertisers
