The French shake hands with everyone(family, children, strangers), at home, on the way to work, at work, on leaving work, on the way home from work, etc. Thus, in an office , perhaps a dozen people, no work will be done for the first half hour while 41 who have not met since the day before, remind each other who they are.However, it is important to remember with whom one has shaken hands on any one day. The French 42 it as extremely bad manners to shake hands twice, as though one had not taken enough 43 for the first time.It is still the 44 to say “Bonjour” and “Au revoir” to others when entering or leaving a shop or bar. This is not because the French are too 45 . It is because they see acknowledging(注意) the existence of others as a way of 46 being rude. This may seem unbearably slight to others, but to the French it is most important. Manners mean civilization to them.Kissing is not so much of a(n) 47 of French life as others supposed. But when it does take place, it must be done 48 , according to the rules. The 49 order is left cheek, right cheek, left cheek---very formal, very stylized. In Paris four kisses are sometimes permitted: left, right, left, right.Ⅲ.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that fits the context.At the time my son was born in 1956, I shared a hospital room with a young woman who bore a son on the same day. Partly because my parents owned a shop selling flowers, the room was soon 50 the lovely smell of roses.As the seventh arrangement for flowers was brought in, I was beginning to feel 51 , for no flowers had arrived for my 52 , Ann. She sat on the edge of her bedand leaned forward to 53 the latest bouquet. She was a pretty young woman ,yet there was something about her large, brown eyes that made me think she had known too much struggling, too much 54 for one so young. I had the feeling she had always had to admire someone else’s flowers.“I’m enjoying every minute of this,”she said as though she had read my 55 . “Wasn’t I the lucky one to get you for a roommate?”I still felt uncomfortable, however. If only there were some magic button I could push to 56 the sadness in her eyes. Well, I thought, as least I can see that she has some flowers. When my mother and father came to see me that day, I asked them to send her some.The flowers arrived just as Ann and I were finishing supper.“Another bouquet for you,” she said, smiling.“No, not this time,” I said, looking at the card “These are for you.”Ann 57 at the flowers a long time, not saying anything. She ran her fingers across the pale- blue vase and lightly touched each of the sweetheart roses as though trying to impress them on her 58 ."How can I ever thank you?" she said softlyI felt 59 , for it was such a little kindness on my part. The son born to my husband and me that day in 1956 60 our only child. For nearly 21 years he filled our lives with love and laughter, making us feel 61 . But on Easter morning in April 1977, after a long, painful 62 with cancer, he died quietly in our arms.At the funeral home I was alone with my son in a room filled with the scent of roses, when a delivery man brought in a tiny bouquet. I didn’t read the card until later, as we drove to the 63 . “To W. John Graves”, the card said, “from the boy who was born with you at Memorial Hospital, and his mother.”Only then did I 64 the vase I had given to a sad young woman so many years ago, new once again filled with roses. Ann and I had long since lost touch. She had never known our son, never been aware of his illness. She must have read the now notice of his death in a newspaper.“A kindness returned,” Mother said.50.A.covered with B.equipped with C.furnished with D.filled with 51.A.satisfied B.uncomfortable C.romantic D.frightened 52.A.son B.mother C.roommate D.colleague 53.A.admire B.spoil C.overtake D.serve 54.A.happiness B.wealth C.sadness D.property 55.A.comments B.thoughts C.compliments D.doubts 56.A.hold up B.put off C.give out D.take away 57.A.stared B.aimed C.glanced D.pointed 58.A.gratitude B.emotion C.memory D.heart 59.A.depressed B.suffered C.obliged D.embarrassed 60.A.kept to B.turned out C.looked over D.resulted in 61.A.complete B.boring C.complicated D.plain62.A.term B.perseverance C.struggle D.quarrel 63.A.cliff B.grave C.harbor D.castle64.A.preserve B.purchase C.recreate D.recognizeSection BDirections: Read the following four passage.

I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn’t done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction(拍卖).Buying for beginners: Sign up on www. ebay. co. uk. Most items ( e. g. tables, computers, and books) ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with "Buy It Now" and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away.If the item is being auctioned, you offer the. highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids (出价) for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish you get an email telling you whether you have won the item.How to pay:Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this beforeplacing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card (信用).Selling made simple: If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends' advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starring on a Thursday.

Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar, It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.Jeb took off his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.“Tom, no” shouted his father.But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free; Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell, The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted. Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar’s claws got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled(吼叫)and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye. Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.“Knife, Tom,” shouted Jeb.The boy ran to his father’s bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms.

But if you had been around 15,000 years ago, during the last ice age, would it have been the same? For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests like the Amazon might have reacted to the cold dry climates of the ice ages, but until now, no one has reached a satisfying answer.Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming. Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tones of CO2 each year: equal to the total amount of CO2 giving off in the UK each year. But how will the Amazon react to future climate change? If it gets drier, will it still survive and continue to draw down CO2? Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.Unfortunately, getting into the Amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficult. To study past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen(花粉), kept in lake mud. Going back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments(沉淀物), which requires specialize equipment and heavy machinery. There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes. Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled. So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon rainforest reacts to climate change. 72.The underlined phrase “mopping up” in the second paragraph means_____. A.cleaning up B.taking in C.sending off D.giving out73. How will the Amazon rainforest react to future climate change?A.It’ll get drier and continue to remove CO2B.It’ll remain steamy, warm, damp and thick.C.It’ll continue to help slow global warming.D.There is no exact answer up to present.74.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A.There is little information to study the past climate.B.It’s impossible to prove how climate changes in the Amazon rainforest.C.It’s hard to collect information for studies of the past climate in the Amazon rainforest.D.It’s necessary to have specialized equipment and machinery to study the past climate.75.The best title for this passage may probably be_____.A.the History of the Rainforests B.Climates of the AmazonC.Secrets of the Rainforests D. Changes of the Rainforests(D)Children are in need of adoption because some birth parents are unable or unavailable to provide adequately for the needs of their child. There are numerous reasons for making an adoption plan. Birth parents may feel they cannot take on responsibility of an unplanned child because they are too young or because they are financially or emotionally unable to provide proper care. They do not feel ready or able to be good parents.In other cases children are in need of adoption because courts have decided that their birth parents are unable to function adequately. Many of these children are victims of abuse or neglect. Regardless of how children come to need adoption, they are put with adoptive parents through private or public social service agencies. Other adoptions may be arranged independently, as when birth parents and adoptive parents come to know each other outside of an agency and then complete the adoption according to the laws and regulations of their states of residence.In the early 1970s there was a dramatic increase n the number of families seeking to adopt, a condition which persists today. For this reason, the number of those who wish to adopt regularly exceeds(超过)the number of infants available. Reasons for this dramatic increase are varied. A major factor has been the choice of many people to delay the start of a family until later in life. Many of these people, in turn, have found themselves to be less fertile at that time, and so they have decided that their desire to have children might best be fulfilled through adoption.In every state, however, there are children who are legally free to be adopted but are desperately waiting for parents. The children in this group are usually older and often have special needs. They may require additional care from a parent because of their physical, emotional, or mental disabilities (which may have been caused by abuse, neglect, or medical or genetic factors). Because of their special needs, these children are challenging to rear. In fact, adoption experts believe that people who adopt these children need special training and preparation in order to successfully rear the child and to integrate(使融入) the child into the family and eventually into society.In cases of international adoption, Americans have adopted orphaned children from places like Korea, India, and Latin America. United States immigration laws allow such children to reside in the United States through a special visa under which the children are classified as immediate relatives of the adopting family. The laws, regulations, and attitudes toward international add option vary a great deal from one country to another. Because of this, people wishing to adopt should use experienced agencies or organizations in order to adopt a child from another country successfully.76.What is the most important reason for the adoption boom in the 1970s?A.Adoption came into fashion among young American couples then.B.Many women shoes adoption for fear that their figure might be affected after bearing.C.Many people who married late found they were less fertile.D.The government carried out family planning and many people had to adopt children.77.By saying “there are children who are legally free to be adopted but are desperately waiting for parents”, the author suggests that .A.few people would like to adopt these children for they are hard to raise B.the children were eager to be loved by their birth parentsC.some people would like to adopt them, but these children prefer their birth parentsD.their birth parents abandoned them but don’t like other people to adopt them 78.According to the passage, international adoption .A.occurs more often than adoption of American infantsB.mostly involves European orphansC.should be done through experienced agenciesD.should be banned right away79.What is the author’s primary concern of writing this passage?A.To tell how to adopt a child.B.To tell why and how Americans adopt children.C.To tell the history of child adoption.D.To tell the significance of adopting children.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A.How to deal with listening practiceB.Class atmosphere matters a lot in learningC.Monitoring activities is one of the main tasks of teachersD.How to evaluate student performanceE.Group work needs organizing properlyF.Communication skills play a big role in language learningBoth instructors and learners can get benefits from the following learning strategies as long as they are properly made use of in language learning.80.The information presented in this section focuses on specific conversation, discussion, or presentation skills. The activities are generally self-explanatory, with students expressing opinions, making decisions, solving problems, planning presentations, and so on. Engaged in these activities, students have the possibility of communicating with each other in class. This section also includes lists of expressions used to illustrate different language functions, such as agreeing, disagreeing, and asking for clarity in order to help students expand their knowledge of English.81.In a speaking or listening course, students’anxieties can affect their learning. For this reason, it is important to establish a friendly, relaxed classroom environment. It may help students to think of the classroom as a laboratory where they can experiment and take risks with the language. In such circumstances, students should realize that errors are a natural and expected part of learning a language. In addition, one of the goals of this part is to encourage students to examine their own opinions and values while at the same time showing respect for the opinions and values of others.82.Many of the activities in this section involve the students’cooperating work in class. Generally, such an activity taken up by four members seem to work the best. Groups of three or five members may also be effective, depending on the activity. The first unit includes guidelines for organizing group work, with students taking on the following roles: leader, reader, summarizer, reporter, and observer(if necessary). Organizing all activities in this way makes the course truly learner-centered since students must take full responsibility for carrying out each activity. As for seating, group members should arrange their seats or chairs in a small circle to encourage interaction.83.Being a teacher, in the course of group activities, you should circulate from group to group, which helps ensure that students are on task and are using English. While you should not participate in pair or group activities, you need to stay involved in what the students are doing. One important reason to circulate during activities is to keep track of the kinds of problems students have, such as grammatical accuracy, fluency, word choice, pronunciation and intonation, discussion strategies, etc. However, it is generally not effective to correct students’ errors when they are involved in an activity The most practical way to deal with communication problems is to make notes of what you observe as you are circulating. You can then use this information to provide feedback after the activity or to develop future lessons.84.At the beginning of the course, when they need to build up their confidence, students benefit most from encouragement and positive comment. If possible, you’d rather not grade the students’ first few efforts at speaking in a group or to the class. Many students suffer such anxiety in speaking situations that any criticism at thisstage can have the opposite effects. Commenting on student s’work does not necessarily mean grading them on the scene Even if the programs requires formal grades, you should try to put off assigning grades until later in the term.第Ⅱ卷(共45分)I.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.那些女孩的粗心大意让她们付出了生命的代价。

It’s impossible for a bee to tell the other bees where the food is 1 speaking to them, but it can do a little dancing. This tells the bees where the food is and 2___ it is.Some animals show how they feel by making sounds. It’s not difficult to 3 if a dog is angry when it barks. Birds make several different sounds and each has its own meaning. Sometimes we humans make sounds 4 . We make sounds like “Oh!” or “Ouch!” to show how we feel about something or when we 5 something on our feet.We humans also have languages. We have words. These words have the meanings of things, actions, feelings or ideas. We’re able to give each oth er 6 to tell what we think or how we feel. By writing down words, we can remember what has happened or send messages to people far away.Languages can live and 7 . If a language isn’t used by people, it’s called adead language. This language cannot live or grow because nobody speaks it. Latin is an example of a dead language.A living language, of course, is often spoken by people today. It grows and 8 with time.

We send messages to the people around us also by body movements. A smile and handshake show welcome. Waving one’s hand is to say “Goodbye. ” Nodding the head means agreement, while shaking it means disagreement. In China and some English-speaking countries, these body movements have the same meanings.But not all body languages mean the same things in different countries. For example, nodding the head in some Asian countries means not “Yes.”, but “No. ”When we speak a foreign language, it’s important to know the meanings of the body movements in the foreign countries. In Russia, France and some of South American countries men kiss each other when they meet. Men don’t kiss each other in China or English-speaking countries. In England, older people usually shake hands when they meet someone for the first time, however, youn g people don’t shake hands. In France, people shake hands in the office every morning. French people kiss each other more often than English people when they meet or leave.根据短文内容,判断正(T)误(F)( ) 11. We talk with other people just by words.( ) 12.

In France, men just kiss each other when they meet.( ) 15. In China and some English-speaking countries, all the body movements have the samemeanings.DEnglish is spoken as a first language by most people in the U.S.A., Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Canada. However, English is also spoken all over the world. It is the main language in over 60 countries, including India, Singapore and many of the Caribbean and Pacific islands. In these places English is often a second language.English is also an international language in many other countries, like China and Japan. People in these countries use it for business, and travelers to these countries use English when they get there. Other people may learn English because ①they enjoy reading books in English, listening to British or American music or watching American films.English has changed a lot over the years and ②still goes on changing. It is no longer right to talk about British English or American English because they are much the same. People in Japan and Korea, for example, may use the American spelling but may not sound like Americans.English will probably the most widely used language in the world by the end of the 21st century. This language no longer belongs to British, American or Australian.It belongs to anyone in the world. So, as middle school students, you should think about how you can use this language well because ③当你离开学校时,you will almost certainly need it.根据短文内容,完成下列各题。
How to greet people in different countries

How to greet people in different countries?The handshakeTo shake hands or not to shake hands, that is the question. In Britain and China the customs are very similar. Shake hands on formal occasions and when meeting someone for the first time. A handshake when saying goodbye and thanking your host is also good manners. In French-speaking countries hand-shaking is more common than in Britain. People often shake hands in the office when arriving in the morning. Watch what other people do and copy them. Not to shake hands could appear rude. In Muslim(穆斯林的) countries ask your host what the custom is. Men shake hands with men. Men do not shake hands with women who are wearing a headscarf(头巾). The handshake for the cameraEven if you’re not a senior official in your country it’s useful to learn this handshake. For example head teachers and senior managers sometimes have their photos taken for newspapers. Your body should face the camera. Turn to look at the person whose hand you are shaking look them in the eye and hold the hands steady while the photo is being taken. Photos are usually taken at the beginning or end of an important meeting.The double handshakeThis is reserved for special occasions when you know the other person very well. The right hands sha ke in the usual way and the left land is used to cover the other person’s hand. Look the other person in the eye smile and nod your head for the cameras. This gives the idea that you are both good friends and understand each other well. UK Prime Minister(首相) Blair and President Clinton used to do this for the cameras to show their solidarity (团结)with each other.The triple hand shakeThis needs three people and is extremely rare. The three people offer their right hands and make a knot which they move up and down with smiles for the TV cameras. One famous occasion was at the signing of the Camp David Middle East peace agreement between heads-of-state Carter Sadat and Begin. Leave this one to the heads-of-state we suggest.The Russian hugIn the days of the Soviet Union this was the customary greeting for communist (共产党的) leaders. Men held each other by the shoulders in a firm hug and kissed alternate cheeks (面颊) sometimes four time. This is much less common nowadays. Russians themselves say that this was not an old custom. It was a new one that was invented to show the idea of communist solidarity and brotherhood. You will be quite safe and respectful(有礼的) if you offer just a handshake.The simple touchIf you want to appear warm and friendly you can offer a simple touch as well as a handshake. Shake hands with the right hand and rest you left hand briefly on the other person’s forearm. The handshake shows formality and respect and the left hand shows warmth and friendship. Blair and Clinton also used this gesture in public. You might want to try it if you work in TV or show-business.The Japanese bowIn this greeting the two people face each other and bow. The hands are kept at the sides of the body or are held lightly in front of the body as a sign of respect. There are rules for bowing- for example how low one should bow. The answer is copy your host. Golden rule: Check and observe the local custom. There are great differences between countries for greetings and physical touch and different customs for men and women. If in doubt play safe and keep the single handshake.。

The French shake hands with everyone (family, children, strangers),at home, on the way to work, at work, on the way from work, etc. Thus, in an office that employs a dozen people no work will be done for the first half hour, while those who have not met since the day before remind each other of who they are.
However, it is important to remember with whom one has shaken hands on any one day. The French regard it as extremely bad manners to shake hands twice, as though one had not taken adequate notice the first time.
It is still the custom to say“Bonjour(how du you do)”and “Au revoir (good-bye)”to one and all when entering or leaving a shop or bar. This is not because the French are excessively polite. It is because they see acknowledging the existence of others as a way of avoiding being rude. For the French manners means civilization. Without rigid formalities, the primitive in them would assuredly assert itself.
Kissing is not so much of a feature as others supposed. But when it dose take place, it must be done properly, according to the rules. The correct order is left cheek, right cheek,。
