26、，选出最佳选项，并在答题爷上将该项涂黑。 A Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship. Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship bui

27、lding to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in small talk, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries - like

28、the UK or France - people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office. Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; in

29、stead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unne

30、cessary. Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions

31、and makes decisions more quickly. People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural (多元文化) environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.56. I

32、n some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _. A. develop closer relations B. share the same culture C. get to know each other D. keep each other company57.

33、s B. too many words are of no use C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature D. even talk and silence can be culturally different58. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better? A. By sharing different ways of life. B. By accepting different ha

34、bits. C. By recognizing different values. D. By speaking each other s languages.59. What would be the best title for the text? A. Multicultural Environment. B. Cross-Cultural Differences. C. How to Understand Each Other. D. How to Build Up a Relationship.B The Los Angeles Zoo has many public program

35、s that aim to teach the public about animals and natural protection.Safari shuttle(旅游电车) While youre here, take the Safari shuttle for a quick trip from one end of the Zoo to the other. All day long, seven days a week (from 10 am to 5 pm), the Safari Shuttle picks up passengers, circles the Zoo, and

36、 returns to the main flamingo (火烈鸟) exhibit near the front entrance. You can get on and off the shuttle as often as you like.Food Safari Caf (at the Zoo entrance) offers Starbucks coffee, fresh-baked cookies, and ice cream.

A. ride a bike through the Zoo B. have a picnic on the Zoo grounds C. take food with plastic bags D. take their pets along C When the six very best students from differen

42、t cities in Guangdong Province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best students of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Beijing or Qinghua University; when the highest enrollment(录取) rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, its th

43、e high time to ask where the real education heaven (天堂) for students in China is. Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Beijing or Qinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual at

44、traction to a great many mainland students. Its no doubt to call this HK craze (狂热), which is even out of the expectation (预料) of those HK universities themselves. How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Beijing and Qinghua and attract so many mainland students? First, Hong Kong univ

45、ersities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden (负担) of many families, its easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universit

46、ies is great. Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual (双语) education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students. Furthermore, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to stu

47、dy abroad as exchange students. Can mainland top universities like Beijing or Qinghua University be calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation (名誉)? Time will explain it.

48、 The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action-taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities. At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition f

49、ees (学费) are among students top concern when they are choosing universities. Its time to move.64.What is the passage mainly talking about?A. Some thoughts brought by the enrollment of HK universities. B. Higher education in Hong Kong. C. The competition between HK University and Beijing University.

A. many students now would love to study abroad to get a better experience B. they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities C. HK Universities offer higher scholarship, bette

51、r environment and more opportunities for their further study D. Beijing University has lost its worldwide reputation66.

52、ities had better lower their tuition fees and win back the top students. C. Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition. D. It may probably cause a complete loss to both sides in the end.67. From the passage we can see HK universities_. A. didnt mea

54、te? If you are, you probably know that your house and possessions are increasingly in danger of suffering from great rise in the cases of burglary(夜盗;抢劫) and attack.

Fortunately, there is something definite (肯定的) which you can doProtect Alarms can help to protect your house with a burglar alarm system which is effective, simple to operate and easi

63、? Everywhere you go you may hear loud musician advertisements over radios; this continual noise is ruining our ears. Husbands dont talk to wives any more; they are always watching the news or a ball game. Children ruin their eyes (not to mention their minds) with endless hours of watching not only t

64、he programs for children but those for grown-ups as well. And worse, hidden microphones find out about our private lives, and computers keep records of personal information about us.
