18、at 第二节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “Im so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said, “Excuse me too. I wasnt 36 watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went 37 our way after saying goodbye. But at 38 , a different story is told. How we treat

19、 our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 39 our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I 40 knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart 41 . I didnt realize how harshly(苛刻地) I had spoken

20、.That night, when I lay 42 in bed, Gods quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While 43 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite. Go look around on the kitchen floor, youll find some flowers there by the 44 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. Sh

21、e 45 them herself- pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly, and you never saw the 46 in her eyes.” By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her 47 : “Wake up, my dear,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked up fo

22、r me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I 48 them in a napkin（餐巾）, just for you. I knew youd like them, especially the 49 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today. And I 50 have fussed（慌乱）at you that way.” And she whispered, “Mommy, thats okay. I still love you 51 .” I hugged her

23、 and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.” Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 52 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of （大约）days. But the family you leave _53 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into o

27、RMTH C. FRIEND D. FAMILY第三部分 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题 2分，满分30分） AOnce I mentioned the story of a friend getting something made for me to give my daughter as a present, and then not letting me pay her back. Writing about that made me think about the problem of communicating feelings, particularly in cross cult

28、ural situations. Let me explain.If I say to a fellow English speaker, “I know how you feel,” what I am actually saying is that I can imagine myself in the same position, and therefore can imagine how I would feel. But my friend could perfectly correctly reply, “No, you dont! You cant.” In truth we c

29、an communicate how strongly we feel, but we cannot communicate exactly what we feel.But if we come from the same linguistic and cultural background, the match can be close enough.Culture and language cannot be separated, and I think that we have the feelings that are recognized in our culture and th

30、erefore represented in our language. One might say that we feel the things that our language allows us to express. So when it comes to trying to explain feelings to someone of a different mother tongue, the difficulties are huge.I could not explain to my friend how I felt about her not letting me re

31、pay her, because Chinese culture, it seems, does not recognize the same feelings on such occasions.She could understand the words that I was using, but could not understand what I was trying to say.Some time ago, I was going up in the lift, and a colleague with whom I merely have a nodding acquainta

32、nce was offering round some sweetmeat. I knew that I really could not eat it, so I refused politely, only to be told that I was making her lose face.I have no idea how serious the colleague was being. Causing someone to lose face is a serious social mistake. We have to do all we can to learn the typ

33、es of situation in which it happens, and to try to avoid them. But we can only know about losing face, we cant feel losing face, as the term is merely a literal translation of Chinese, not one that is native to English.56. What does the author intend to express in the second paragraph?A. The authors

34、 friend feels insulted if other people know how she feels.B. The authors friend cant understand the real meaning of the author.C. The author and her friend can communicate feelings with each other.D. The authors friend does not understand English.57. What does the author mean by saying “ the match c

35、an be close enough.”A. They can share similar opinions and thoughts. B. They can make a perfect couple.C. There can be some competition between them. D. They are even in a match.58. According to the author, it is to explain feelings to someone of a different language.A. very difficult B. a little bi

36、t difficult C. not difficult at all D. impossible59. This passage is focused on .A. how to avoid making people lose face B. cultural differences between the east and the westC. the importance of ones cultural background D. how to be acquainted with Chinese cultureBLast Friday a storm tore through tw

37、o villages and destroyed fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged(损坏)that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or torn roofs. One person was killed, seven were badly injured and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller injuries. Alto

38、gether over two hundred people were homeless as a result of the storm.A farmer, Mr. C.Y. Tan said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour. “ I was in the kitchen with my wife and children ,”he said, “when we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on

39、 top of us. We managed to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very frightened.”Mrs. Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she noticed that her house was shaking. She rushed outside immediately with her children. “

40、There was no time to take anything, ” she said. “ A few minutes later, the roof came down. ”Soldiers helped to bring people out of the flooded area and the Welfare(福利)Department provided food, clothes and shelter.60 .How many houses could no longer be lived in after the storm?A. Seven. B. Fourteen C

41、. Fifteen. D. Twenty-one61. Mrs Fong and her family were not injured because_ .A. her husband had gone to work before the storm cameB. they were all outside the house when the storm beganC. she found the house shaking and rushed out with her children at onceD. she heard the loud noise the moment the

43、y B. A Terrible StormC. The Work of the Welfare Department D.A Lucky EscapeC New York City plans to put a ban on the sale of large sodas and other sugary drinks at restaurants, movie theaters and street carts, in an effort to fight rising obesity.The ban would affect almost all the popular sugary dr

44、inks found in fast-food restaurants and even sports centers, from energy drinks to pre-sweetened iced teas. The sale of any cup or bottle of sweetened drink larger than 16 ounces would be forbidden under the first-in-the- nation plan.The measure would not apply to diet sodas, fruit juices, zero-calo

45、rie Vitamin Waters, dairy-based drinks like milkshakes(奶昔), or alcoholic drinks; it would not expand to drinks sold in grocery stores or convenience stores.Stefan Friedman, spokesman for the New York City Beverage Association, criticized the citys plan, saying it turns focus away from the hard work

46、that needs to be done on this front.Kelly Brownell, director of the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University, said he believes the ban would be effective. “It is not right to put all the blame for obesity on sugar drinks, but they are strongly connected with this rise in obesity ov

47、er the last 30 years.” Dr. Farley, the health commissioner, said the city had seen higher obesity rates in neighborhoods where soda consumption was more common.City officials said they believe it will finally prove popular and push governments around the U.S. to follow similar rules.Mr. Bloomberg ha

48、s introduced a series of rules in his term of office, including bans on smoking in restaurants and parks, a ban on trans fat(反式脂肪) in restaurant food and a requirement for health inspection grades to be posted in restaurant windows.Because of the measures, the mayor was laughed at as Nanny Bloomberg

49、, by those who view the bans as threats(威胁) to personal freedom. But many of the measures adopted in New York have become models for other cities, including bans on smoking and trans fat, as well as the use of graphic advertising to fight smoking and soda consumption, and the demand that restaurants

85、rosper. In the 1940s, detective movies and musicals became popular. The next decade witnessed the development of western films- cowboys, Indians, and the early settlers. After that, horror movies, documentaries, and science fiction films came into our cinemas. Horror movies aim to frighten audience,
