听力原文： The topic of my talk today is gift-giving. Everybody likes to
receive gifts, right? So you may think that gift-giving is a universal custom. But
actually the rules of gift-giving vary quite a lot. And not knowing them can result in
great embarrassment. In North America, the rules are fairly simple. If you’re invited
to someone’s home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or a small item from your
country. Among friends, family and business associates, we generally don’t give gifts
on other occasions except on someone’s birthday and Christmas. The Japanese, on the
other hand, give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone for their kindness. The
tradition of gift-giving in Japan is very ancient. There are many detailed rules for
everything from the color of the wrapping paper to the time of the gift presentation.
And while Europeans don’t generally exchange business gifts, they do follow some
formal customs when visiting homes, such as bringing flowers. The type and color of
flowers, however, can carry special meaning. Today we have seen some broad
differences in gift-giving. I could go on with additional examples, but let’s not miss
the main point here. If we are not aware of and sensitive to cultural differences, the
possibilities for miscommunication and conflict are enormous. Whether we learn
about these differences by reading a book or by living abroad, our goal must be to
respect differences among people in order to get along successfully with our global
neighbors.19. What does the speaker say about gift-giving of North Americans?20.
What do we learn about the Japanese concerning gift-giving?21. What point does the
speaker make at the end of the talk?

B．They refuse gifts when doing business.
C．They regard gifts as a token of friendship.
D．They give gifts only on special occasions.
正确答案：D

C．They have to follow many specific rules.

B．We must be aware of cultural differences in giving gifts.
C．We must learn how to give gifts before going abroad.
D．Reading extensively makes one a better gift-giver.
正确答案：B
解析：短文最后提到，如果我们没有认识到文化差异或对其不敏感，那么产生错误传达和冲突的可能性是巨大的。由此可知，短文最后说话者陈述的观点是我们必须意识到送礼的文化差异，故B)为答案。
听力原文： Claudette Rigo is a reporter for a French newspaper. Her
assignment for the last five years has been Washington and American politics. She
reports the current political news for her paper. In addition, she writes the column
that is published every week. The column explains American politics to her readers in
France. They often find it very difficult to understand the United States and
Americans. Claudette lives in a small house in a fashionable section of Washington.
She entertains a great deal. Her guests are usually government officials, diplomats,
lawyers and other newspaper people. When she isn’t entertaining, she goes out to
dinners and parties. In spite of her busy social life, Claudette works very hard. The
parties are really work for her, because reporters frequently get news stories just by
talking and listening to people. Claudette also has a small office in a building
downtown. She goes there every morning to write up her stories and send them to
Paris. Her column is published every Monday, so she usually spends a large part of
the weekend working on it at home. Claudette spends a month in France every year,
so that she won’t forget how to speak French. In spite of all her experience in
Washington, Claudette may be transferred. This is an election year in the United
States when the people elect a new President. When the election is over, Claudette
thinks that her newspaper in Paris may change her assignment.22. What do we learn
about the column Claudette writes?23. What does Claudette usually do on
weekends?24. Why does Claudette spend a month in France every year?25. What
might happen to Claudette after this year’s American presidential election?

题型有：1. What problem does the next generation of retirees have?2. When did
pensions reach the height of their popularity?
1．
A．Their health becomes worse.
B．They don’t fight as hard as before.
C．They won’t get the benefit of pension.
D．They receive less education.
正确答案：C
解析：新闻提到，下一代的退休人员失去了一项退休福利(won’t have a
retirement benefit)，这项“福利计划”(defined-benefit plan)也就是“养老金”(pension)，C“他们得不到养老金的福利”与新闻内容相符。新闻中有提到这批退休人员将是美国有史以来最健康、教育程度最高、最富有的，据此可排除A、D。B利用新闻中的fought hard作干扰，新闻是说这个pension的制度是上一辈人努力争取出来的结果，并没有说“下一代退休人员不努力”。 知识模块：听力

the woman suggest the man do before running the ads?
9．
A．Running an antique shop.
B．Different kinds of advertisements.
C．Advertising on the newspaper.
D．Launching a weekend program.
正确答案：C
解析：主旨题。男士想知道怎样在报纸上登广告，此后工作人员一直在为他介绍登广告的费用、具体的登法等等，因此答案为C。A、B两项在对话中虽然提到了，但并不是对话者谈论的主题；D在对话中并未提及。 知识模块：听力
10．
A．Different types of ads cost the same.
B．The cheaper the ad is, the more people will notice it.
C．The larger the ad is, the more it costs.
D．The more complicated the ad is, the more it costs.
正确答案：C
解析：细节题。女士的介绍非常清晰：广告类型不同价格也不同(A与此相反)，主要考虑两点：一是版面大小(即C)，二是出现频率。由此可知，本题选C。女士没有提到广告费用的高低与人们对该广告的关注度之间存在因果关系，B错误，此外B也不大符合常理；女士也没有提到广告的复杂程度是否与价格构成正比关系，D无据可查。 知识模块：听力
11．

show how we see the development of the motor car in the short to medium term, and
that is why we have invited all of you here today. Let’s start with power. It’s clear that
petrol-driven engines have no future. Already there are many alternative fuel vehicles
on the market, powered by anything from solar power to natural gas. Some
independent thinkers have even produced cars that run on vegetable oil. But as we all
know, of all these alternative fuel vehicles, the most practical are electric
vehicles.(24)Sure, in the past electric vehicles have their problems, namely, a limited
driving range and very few recharging points, which limited their use.(25)Now,
however, recent developments in electric vehicle technology mean they can match

educated, with a degree in business administration, she is experienced, having worked
