The bridge has been featured in several Hollywood movies.George Washington BridgeAlso known as the Hudson River Bridge and the Columbus Bridge, the George Washington Bridge which connects Fort Lee to Manhattan came into use in 1931 after a construction period of almost 4 years. It is a twolevel suspension bridge that cost about $52 million to build.Mackinac BridgeThis is the third biggest suspension bridge in the world at a length of 8,038 meters.

Among very good friends, a woman may give another woman a little hug, and a man may kiss a woman quickly on the cheek. Males dont hug one another, which, however, is changing. Men usually shake hands with the right hand. Sometimes they use the left hand to either cover the handshake or lightly hold the other persons arm. This shows greater warmth and friendship. Most people wave hello or good-bye by extending the palm(手掌) facing outward, and twisting the hand at the wrist. Another way is to raise the arm, palm outward, and move the whole arm and hand back and forth. This is important to know because in many other countries,the same movements mean “no”. When people are waiting in a public place, such as the post office, they usually form lines. Some people get angry and complain if someone pushes their way into a line or jumps ahead of other people. Moreover, many women like men to open doors for them. They also like men to give up their seats on public transportation. However, some women do not like this type of behavior. They feel that men and women should be treated in the same way. In the United States, its important to make direct eye contact in business and social situations. If you dont make eye contact, people will probably think that you are bored or not interested. If there is silence in these situations, people usually try to make conversation. Periods of silence make many people uncomfortable. People in the United States usually stand about one arms length away from each other while talking or standing together. This space is called “the comfort zone”. In the United States, mothers sometimes show that they are angry with children by shaking an index finger(食指) at them. People may show that they like children by patting them on the head.24.It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that in the United States _.A.males begin to hug each other nowB.a man usually kisses a woman for greetingC.people only use right hands to shake handsD.people wave good-bye as people in many other countries do25.Some women dont like to be offered a seat by men because_.A.they think sitting is harmful for healthB.they prefer to stand rather than sitC.they like to be treated equallyD.they dont need mens favor26.The third paragraph is mainly about_.A.body language in public placesB.impolite body languageC.the comfort zoneD.body language in business and social life27.In the United States, a mother sometimes shakes an index finger at her kids to show_.A.boredomB.anger C.love D.satisfactionCI was just in France to visit my grandmother who is very dear to me. I dont get to cross the Atlantic very often, and shes now 96 years old, so every time I visit her, the two of us are very aware that it might be the last time we see each other.Last year, I did a series of short video interviews about her life. I asked her what it was like growing up with her father in the 1910s, and living alone with two young children. I asked her about her greatest memories, and her favorite books, foods, etc. I learned a lot of amazing new things about her I had never known before. These were very intimate conversations, which made me know her better.This year, I did not really have questions and I only had a great desire to make her know how much I loved her. I cooked for her and read her stories. I gave her a foot massage (按摩), which was her first ever! Before leaving, I was looking for a way to leave something meaningful behind besides the memory of our time together. Therefore, I wrote her five different love notes, and hid them in different places where I knew she would eventually find them.I left really joyously knowing that these cards would surely cheer her up after I left. She called me as I was travelling back to Paris to catch my plane back to the US and said, “I found your cards! By the time I discovered the last one, I was laughing out loud! Thank you so much, my sweetheart！” I smiled to myself, knowing she still had two more to go! It was Sunday, so my guess was that she had not checked her mailbox and had not yet driven her car!28Which of the following best explains “intimate” underlined in Paragraph 2?AClose. BInspiring CImpressive. DUsual.29What can be inferred from the passage?AThe author went to France to visit her grandmother very frequently.BThe author didnt expect her grandmother to find all the five cards.CThe author and her grandmother enjoyed the time they stayed together.DThe authors home is not far from her grandmothers.30What do we know from the last paragraph?AGrandmother found all the cards immediately the author left.BGrandmother had not checked her mailbox before the call.CGrandmother always calls the author before she gets on the airplane.DGrandmother does exercises by finding the cards.31What might be the best title of the passage?AThe Wonderful Time with Grandmother BThe Meaningful Love NotesCThe Person Who Influences Me Most DThe Family Has an Old, a TreasureDSome students get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious testtakers. The students start worrying about the results. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources (资源)Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious testtakers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored (得分) an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved (提高) their performance by an average of 5%. Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated (不相关的) to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B， compared to a Bfor those who did not.“What we showed is that for students who are highly testanxious, whod done our writing intervention (干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test fear and performance. They were performing just as well as their classmates who dont normally get nervous in these tests.”But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.32What do the students start worrying about before an exam?AWhether they can pass the exams.BWhat other student do during the test.CWhether they have remembered the materials.DWhat kind of problems they will meet on the test paper.33What is the solution developed by researchers?AMaking the students focused on the test.BAsking the students to sit quietly before the test.CHaving the students write about their worries about the test.DAsking the students to direct the attention away from the test.34According to Professor Beilock, those who thought about things unrelated to the test _.Abecame less nervous before the testBwere better at controlling their feelingsCdid better than those who wrote about their feelingsDdid worse than those who wrote about their feelings35We can infer from the last paragraph that _.Awriting about our worries before an exam can work a bitBwe can only write about our worries right before an examCthe best place to write about our worries is in the test roomDit doesnt matter where we write about our worries before an exam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。Everyone knows that eating too much junk food is not good for our health, yet why junk food is so completely irresistible (无法抗拒的)? For one thing, its everywhere. 36 Thankfully, science is now providing new clues to help us reduce snacking. Make friends with dainty (讲究的) eaters. Studies have found that people tend to increase or reduce the amount of food they eat depending on what their companions are taking in. 37 See happy movies and always get the smaller bag of popcorn. According to some experts, people eat up to 29% more popcorn if they are watching a sad or serious movies, compared to when they are watching a comedy（喜剧）. 38 Viewers consume about 200 calories more when snacking from a large bucket, as opposed to when giving a medium-sized container. 39 Nutritionists have gone back and forth about the question of how much to eat in the morning, but new studies suggest that consuming a good breakfast is a must. Surveys on long-term weight loss show that two key factors in keeping weight down are eating breakfast and exercising. Divide your food and control overeating. 40 Any kind of marker makes you aware of what youre eating and of smaller size. Researchers advise putting snack food into small plastic bags. It sounds simple, but it works.AEat breakfast.BDont swallow your food but chew it properly.CSo see comedy films so that you can eat less junk food.DSome snacks are bad for our health while others may be not.EAny kinds of dividing your food into small parts slows down your eating.FFrom chips in fast food restaurant to candy in supermarket, junk food always seems available.GIf the friends around them are dainty eaters, the amount of the junk food eaten by them will be decreased.第三部分语言知识运用(满分45分)第一节(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。11yearold Roman has a big challenge to make friends.
