AGreetings Around the WorldIf you say the word "communication", most people think of words and sentences. Although these are very important, we communicate with more than just spoken and written words. Indeed, body positions are part of what we call "body language". We see examples of unconscious body language very often, yet there is also "learned" body language, which varies from culture to culture.We use "learned" body language when we are introduced to strangers. Like other animals, we are on guard until we know it is safe to relax. So every culture has developed a formalway to greet strangers, to show them we are not aggressive. Tradit ionally, Europeans and Americans shake hands. They do this with the right hand—the strongest hand for most people. If our right hand is busy greeting someone, it cannot be holding a weapon. So the gesture is saying, "I trust you. Look, I'm not carrying a threatening weapon." If you shake hands with someone, you show you trust them. We shake hands when we make a deal. It means, "We agree and we trust each other."Greetings in Asian countries do not involve touching the other person, but they always involve the hands. Traditionally in China, when we greet someone, we put the right hand over the left and bow slightly. Muslims give a "salaam", where they touch their heart, mouth and forehead. Hindus join their hands and bow their heads in respect. In all of these examples, the hands are busy with the greeting and cannot hold a weapon.Even today, when some people have very informal styles of greeting, they still use their hands as a gesture of trust. American youths often greet each other with the expression, "Give me five!" One person then holds up his hand, palm outwards and five fingers spread. The other person raises his hand and slaps the other's open hand above the head in a "high five". Nowadays, it is quite a common greeting.Body language is fascinating for anyone to study. People give away much more by their gestures than by their words. Look at your friends and family and see if you are a mind reader!21．What does the word “co mmunication” mean in the passage?A．Words and sentences. B．Unconscious body language.C．“Learned” body language. D．All of the above.22．“Shaking hands” means all the following EXCEPT “________”．A．we respect each other B．we agree and we trust each otherC．we are not aggressive D．our right hands are strongest23．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．In Asia, touching each other when they meet isn't a common greeting.B．When we make a deal we shake hands.C．A “high five” is a fo rmal style of greeting.D．Giving a “salaam” is a kind of “learned” body language.24．What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?A．To teach us how to greet others.B．To advise us to use “learned” body language.C．To offer us some informatio n about “learned” body language.D．To let us know why we shake hands when we meet.BThe Student Who Asked QuestionsIn a hungry world rice is a staple food and China is the world's largest producer. Rice is also grown in many other Asian countries, and in some European countries like Italy. In the rice-growing world, the Chinese scientist, Yuan Lo ngping, is a leading figure.Yuan L ongping was born and brought up in China. As a boy he was educated in many schools and was g iven the nickname, "the student who asks questions".From an early age he was interested in plants. He studied agriculture in college and as a young teacher he began experiments in crop breeding. He thought that the key to feeding people was to have more rice and to produce it more quickly. He thought there was only one way to do this—by crossing different species of rice plant, and then he could produce a new plant which could give a higher yield than either of the original plants.First Yuan Longping experimented with different types of rice. The results of his experiments were published in China in 1966. Then he began his search for a special type of rice plant. It had to be male. It had to be sterile. Finally, in 1970 a naturally sterile male rice plant was discovere d. This was the breakthrough. Researchers were brought in from all over China to develop the new system. The research wassupported by the government.As a result of Yuan Longping's discoveries Chinese rice production rose by 47.5 percent in the 1990’s. There were other advantages too. 50 thousand square kilometres of rice fields were converted to growing vegetables and other cash crops. Following this, Yuan Longping's rice was exported to other countries, such as Pakistan and the Philippines.In Pakistan rice is the second most important crop after wheat and will be grown in many parts of the country. The new hybrid rice has been developed by the Yuan Longping Hightech Agricultural Company of China. Its yield is much greater than the yield of other types of rice grown in Pakistan.25. A naturally sterile male rice plant was discovered in________.A．1966 B.1970 C．1973 D．199026. From the passage we know that Yuan Longping________.A．studied in an agricultural school when he was a boyB．got interested in plants in collegeC．began experiments in crop breeding when he was a college studentD．asked a lot of questions at school when he was a boy27.In Yuan's opinion, the only way to produce more rice and to produce it morequickly was to________.A．develop a new kind of rice which can give a higher yieldB．search for a special type of rice plantC. develop a new kind of fast growing riceD．increase rice planting areas28．According to the text we can know that________.A．rice is grown in most European countriesB．wheat is the most important crop in PakistanC．Yuan's research was supported by himselfD．Yuan's rice will be grown in more and more countriesCIt was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was doing my s hopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenys on. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance（入口）and had hit her head on the concrete（混凝土）. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset(沮丧的) about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket, a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds(筹集善款). Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her fe el better,” he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up（让...高兴）.“Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending to the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “ My s on was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.29. What dose the author intend to tell us?A.One can never be too careful.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. Love begins with a little smile.D. A small act of kindness brings a great joy.30.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.B. Tenyson’s idea of buying a flower gained his mother’s support.C. Tenyson’s care for the elderly woman puzzled(迷惑) the flower seller.D. The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson’s gesture.31.The underlined word “intimidated” in the fourth paragraph probably means “___”.A.astonishedB. struck（震惊的）C. frightenedD. excitedDWalt Disney is credited（表扬，称赞） for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. However, he cannot take the credit for （把...归功于自己）creating other well-loved characters, such as Cinderella and Snow White. They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓言) into cartoon movies.The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version （版本）we know today. It started off with the girl mourning （哀悼）her mother’s death and going to her tombthree times a day. In addition, there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella’s food into the ashes of the fire，and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence（因此）her name.In the original story, the king’s ball(舞会) actually lasted for three days. With the help of the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her. However, she broke away from him to rush back home each night. On the last night, the prince placed something stic ky（粘性的） on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it.Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe, the wicked(邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe. The daughter did as told. So the prince took her away to be his bride(新娘). But when they passed the tomb of Cinderella’s mother, the birds called out to the prince,“Turn and peep, there’s blood in the shoe;The shoe is too small, the true bride waits for you.”Realizing he had been tricked(受骗), the prince returned the daughter to her mother；the other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same resul t. Only Cinderella’s foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her. The story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderella’s two stepsisters followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king’s riches, two birds flew by and plucked(啄) out their eyes. Because of their wickedness and falsehood, they had to spend the rest of their days blind.The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version. Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.32. How did Cinderella get her name?A.The birds came up with it.B. It was given by Disney.C. It came from the word “ash”.D. She got it from her mother.33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the original story?A. Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress.B. The ball was held to celebrate the prince’s wedding.C. Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose.D. The birds told the prince that he had been cheated(欺骗).34.The moral of the original story is that ____________.A.a wicked person cannot escape punishment.B. a devoted person certainly deserves respect.C. a well-behaved child earns a great reward.D. a dishonest child cannot get mother love.35.What does the author think of the Disney version?A. Excellent.B. OrdinaryC. Dull.D. Ridiculous（可笑的）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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
