In Japan, this sign means 'peace', but in England this sign means 'victory'. To say 'No', ' I don't know' or ' I don't understand', Japanese people wave their hands in front of their faces, so it may be difficult to understand exactly what someone means.Nodding of the head may also be confusing. When Japanese people nod their heads, itdoes not mean they agree with what you are saying, it means that they understand whatyou are saying . You must also be careful not to misunderstand a smile. When theJapanese smile they may not be happy, in fact they may be embarrassed.As in most countries in the world, Japanese people use a lot of body language.

They also enjoy the lowest ^ obesity (肥胖症)rate in thedeveloped countries. What's tlterr secret? Their HHaTthy diet contributes a lot,"Eating" with your eyesAn important feature of the Japanese diet is the visual appeal(视觉吸引)offood. Food with attractive appearance is presented on pretty little dishes andplates. This way of dining encourages you to "eat" with your eyes, by enjoying the beauty of the food. The result is that you slow down to savor(品尝) every bite, which means eating less, because it gives your brain time to realize you're full. Smaller portions (量)In Japan, food is served on separate small plates, and in bowls instead of on one big plate. Diners take turns having a little taste of everything. Serving smaller portions maybe one of the best secrets for healthy eating and weight loss. Research shows that when we're served more, we tend to eat it—whether we are hungry or not.V egetable crazeJapanese prefer fresh vegetables and fruits. Lots of fresh vegetables and fruits are eaten daily in the Japanese diet. Japan is kind of a "vegetable-crazed" (嗜蔬菜如命的) nation. When Japanese women were asked which home-cooked meals they most loved to prepare for their families"mixed vegetable simmered (炖) in soup" came out on top. Green beans, onions, tomatoes, green.peppers, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potatoes all have a place in the Japanese diet. V egetables are served simmered in soup, stir—fried (炒) in a small bit of canola oil (菜油) or lightly steamed(清蒸). All these methods keep a maximum amount of nutrients(营养成分).Plenty of fishJapanese eat a lot offish. Japan account for(占....⽐例)only 2% of the world's population, but its people eat 10% of the world's fish. Fish, especially fatty fish, for example, salmon (三⽂鱼) and tuna (⾦枪鱼) are Japanese favorites.

It was long believed that all bats are blind, and still in many places, we can often say "as blind as a bat".Yet they have no trouble flying on the darkest nights and finding their way home very Well. How can bats fly and see at night? They fly by radar.The bat's radar system works the same way as the one that ships and planes use. When a bat flies, through the air, he makes a high sound. It is too high for our ears to hear. If the sound hits things, it comes back. The bat's ears receive the sound. In this way they are able to tell where the things are.Bats go out to look for food at night. During the day-time they hang in some dark places. Some people don't think the bats are good animals. In fact, they are useful animals.(17. F 18. F 19. T 20. T 21. T 22. F 23. F)D. Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks (听短⽂填空，完成下列句⼦。

A study finds that accidents involving walkers 41 the devices have increased three times in recent years.Researchers combed several sources to find incidents in the U.S. of crashes 42 walkers and vehicles from 2004 to 2011. Searching the National Injury Surveillance System, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Google News archives and Westlaw Campus Research, they found 116 cases of death or injury involving walkers wearing headphones. Cases in which people were using mobile phones (including hands-free devices) were not included.Over the years the number of cases increased, from 16 in 2004 and 2005 to 47 in 2010 and 2011. The victims’average age was 21, and most (68 percent) were male. The 43 ( 67percent ) were under the age of 30. Most (55 percent) were hit by trains, and 70 percent of the crashes, most of which were in urban areas, were 44 .In 74 percent of the cases, police or eyewitness reports said the walker had headphones on when hit. And 29 percent of reports made mention of horns or warning bells going off before the crash.The study authors pointed to two likely causes that may be a factor in what they call “the possible 45 between headphone use and walker injury”: sensory deprivation（感官剥夺）and 46 . The latter is more 47 called “inattentional blindness,” referring to the use of electronic devices and how they decrease attention to things going on around us.Hearing what’s going on in the environment, they point out, could be more important than 48 clues for walkers. But the authors add that this study doesn’t show cause or relationship of headphone use and walker risk, and other factors could have been involved in the accidents, such as walkers being intoxicated（陶醉）or drivers being at fault.More comprehensive information on such accidents is 49 , the researchers said, to seewhich groups of people may be most at risk.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 best fits the context.Reading involves looking at illustrative symbols and expressing mentally the sounds and ideas they represent. Concepts of reading have changed 50 over the centuries. During the 1950’s and 1960’s especially, increased attention has been devoted to 51 the reading process. Although experts agree that reading 52 a complex organization of higher mental 53 , they disagree about the exact nature of the process. Some experts, who regard language primarily as a code using symbols to represent sounds, 54 reading as simply the decoding（解码）of symbols into the sounds they stand for.These authorities 55 that meaning, being concerned with thinking, must be taught independently of the decoding process. Others maintain that reading is inexplainably related to thinking, and that a child who pronounces sounds without 56 their meaning is not truly reading. The reader, 57 some, is not just a person with a theoretical ability to read but one who 58 reads.Many adults, although they have the ability to read, have never read a book in its 59 . By some experts they would not be 60 as readers. Clearly, the philosophy, objectives, methods and materials of reading will depend on the definition one use. By the most 61 and satisfactory definition, reading is the ability to 62 the sound-symbols code of the language, to interpret meaning for various 63 , at various rates, and at various levels of difficulty, and to do so widely and enthusiastically. 64 , reading is the interpretation of ideas through the use of symbols representing sounds and ideas.50.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Lighter and cheaper than high-quality video cameras, today’s best smartphones can shoot and edit high-definition (HD) videos. With lower-quality lenses(透镜) and image sensors, smartphones probably won’t replace professional video cameras anytime soon. Still, some creative filmmakers are extending the borders of smartphone moviemaking by shooting professional-quality films using only smartphones.Soon after Apple’s iPhone 4 was released, two filmmakers decided to make a short film using only their iPhone 4s. Michael Koerbel and Anna Elizabeth James shot and edited the one-and-a-half-minute film Apple of My Eye in only 48 hours. Audiences were fascinated with the film, in which a man and his grandfather connect emotionally while admiring a model train set in a store window. The filmmakers followed up their success with Goldilocks, an extraordinary spy novel told over nine, three-minute films.Many filmmakers are convinced that smartphone films are here to stay. One sign is their inclusion in major film festivals. In February 2012, organizers of the Berkshire International Film Festival staged the 10 X 10 On North Festival. Entries included Oliver by Hooman Khalili, an award-winning film about a girl whose special powers enable her to brighten the lives of three lonely people. Another entry was Yearlapse’11, a 365-second film by Zsolt Haraszti that describes an actual journey he made from New York to London.During the festival, which ran from February 16 to 26, these and many other smartphone films were shown at the Beacon Cinema in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Similar festivals in Canada and South Korea have given smartphone filmmakers opportunities to show off their creative work.65. What does the article imply about smartphone filmmakers?A. Their efforts have gotten little attention.B. Their biggest challenge is finding actors.C. They’ve influenced famous movie studiosD. They must overcome equipment limitations.66. What does the article point out about Haraszti’s film?A. It uses slow-motion effects.B. It took just minutes to make.C. Its cast was quite large.D. It’s based on true events.67. Which film is about secret agents?A. Apple of My Eye.B. Goldilocks.C. Olive.D. Yearlapse ’11.68. According to this article, what is true about the festivals in Canada and South Korea?A. They’re held at the same time of year.B. They’re part of an emerging trend.C. They both receive government support.D. They’re still in the planning stages.(B)We Are Now Open Daily thru Columbus DayThe museum and store are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.throughout the season. Trolley rides start with the first departure at 10:05 a.m. and continue until the end of the day with the last rideIce Cream & Sunset Trolley Ride Special ( $3.50 per person )At 7:30 p.m., every Wednesday and Thursday evening in July and August, join us for a special sunset trolley ride with ice-cream included.

Which one of the following is NOT included in the admission?A. Unlimited sunset trolley ride.B. Access to the Museum Grounds.C. A visit to the Museum Exhibits.D. A use of the museum picnic areas.( C )Discoveries in science and technology are thought by “untaught minds”to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents. Sir Alexander Fleming did not, as legendwould have it, look at the mold ( 霉) on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then. He experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery. Inventions and innovations almost always come out of tough trial and error. Innovation is like soccer; even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score.The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take most shots at the goal—and so it goes with innovation in any field of activity. The prime difference between innovation and others is one of approach. Everybody gets ideas, but innovators work consciously on theirs, and they follow them through until they prove practicable or otherwise. What ordinary people see as fanciful abstractions, professional innovators see as solid possibilities.“Creative thinking may mean simply the realization that there’s no particular goodness in doing things the way they have always been done.” Wrote Rudolph Flesch, a language authority. This accounts for our reaction to seemingly simple innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on wheels that make life more convenient: “How come nobody thought of that before?”The creative approach begins with the proposal that nothing be as it appears. Innovators will not accept that there is only one way to do anything. Faced with getting from A to B, the average person will automatically set out on the best-known and apparently simplest route. The innovator will search for alternate courses, which may prove easier in the long run and are sure to be more interesting and challenging even if they lead to dead ends. Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer.72. What does the author probably mean by “untaught mind” in the first paragraph?A. An individual who often comes up with new ideas by accident.B. A person who has had no education.C. A citizen of a society that restricts personal creativity.D. A person ignorant of the hard work involved in experimentation.73. According to the author, what differs innovators from non-innovators?A. The way they present their findings.B. The way they deal with problems.C. The intelligence they possess.D. The variety of ideas they have.74.The phrase “march to a different drummer” (the last line of the passage) suggests that highlycreative individuals are _____.A. unwilling to follow common ways of doing thingsB. diligent in pursuing their goalsC. concerned about the advance of societyD. devoted to the progress of science75.The most suitable title for this passage might be _____.A. The Relation Between Creation and DiligenceB. To Be a Creative Expert in the Study of Human CreativityC. What Are So Special about Creative IndividualsD. Discoveries and InnovationSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Dieting is hard work, and there are plenty of “helpful ” diet tricks that can make weight loss even harder! Here are some common myths about losing weight and the truth behind them. 76. Carbohydrates are actually an important source of energy. There are good carbs and bad carbs. Refined and processed foods, like white bread or white rice, are examples of bad carbs. Good carbs include whole wheat bread and brown rice. They ’re rich in fiber and really good for you!77. On the contrary, studies show that people who eat breakfast tend to eat fewer calories throughout the day. And if you know you ’re going to be eating a big meal later, don ’t starve yourself in order to “save your calories.” You ’ll just eat more during the meal because you ’re so hungry! Instead, eat smaller meals a couple days before and after, and exercise more.78. Bad news —if you want a flatter stomach, just exercising your abs won ’t work. You can ’t target where you lose weight. Cardio exercises will help burn fat, while weight training helps build muscles. Your “trouble areas ” might not be the first to slim down, but keep exercising! 79. If you and your family have problems with obesity, you ’re not destined to be fat. While a “fat gene ” does exist, its influence on your size is actually pretty small. Smart eating and exercise have a much greater impact than your genes. Only 25 percent of your weight is controlled by genes —the rest is up to you!80. Many people think that the key to losing weight is cutting out all bad foods. But the more restrictive your diet is, the more likely you are to break it —and in a big way. To lose weight and keep it off, eat great 80 percent of the time, but indulge in a treat or two the other 20 percent. Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.That experiences influence future behaviour is evidence of an obvious but nevertheless A.

Constant practice has such an effect on memory as to lead to skillful performance on the piano, to recitation of a poem, and even to reading and understanding these words. So called intelligent behaviour demands memory, remembering being a primary requirement for reasoning. The ability to solve any problem or even to recognize that a problem exists depends on memory. Typically, the decision to cross a street is based on remembering many earlier experiences.Practice (or review) tends to build and maintain memory for a task or for any learned material. Over a period of no practice what has been learned tends to be forgotten; and the adaptive consequences may not seem obvious. Yet, dramatic instances of sudden forgetting can be seen to be adaptive. In this sense, the ability to forget can be interpreted to have survived through a process of natural selection in animals. Indeed, when one’s memory of an emotionally painful experience leads to serious anxiety, forgetting may produce relief. Nevertheless, an evolutionary interpretation might make it difficult to understand how the commonly gradual process of forgetting survived natural selection.In thinking about the evolution of memory together with all its possible aspects, it is helpful to consider what would happen if memories failed to fade. Forgetting clearly aids situation in time, since old memories weaken and the new tend to stand out, providing clues for inferring duration.Another line of thought assumes a memory storage system of limited capacity that provides adaptive flexibility specifically through forgetting. In this view, continual adjustments are made between learning or memory storage (input) and forgetting(output). Indeed, there is evidence that the rate at which individuals forget is directly related to how much they have learned. Such data offer common support of contemporary models of memory that assume an input-output balance. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)81.

First, it is not a good idea to build houses along lines where two of the earth’s plates join together. Second, if you think there may be an earthquake, it is better to build houses on rocks , not on sand. Third, you must make the houses as strong as possible. Weak buildings will fall down in an earthquake, but strong ones may stay up.Scientists are afraid that one day an even bigger earthquake will hit the part around San Francisco. They call it “The Big One”. However, people today are still building more houses. The population in and around San Francisco is now ten times more than it was in 1906. This means that if there is another earthquake, a great many houses and buildings will be destroyed.17. F 18. T 19. T 20. T 21. T 22. F 23.TD.

You may say tea, fireworks and so on, but don’t forget porcelain.People always think porcelain is the symbol of China. Even the English word for porcelain is simply “ china”.During the Song Dynasty, a town called Changnan (Jindezhen today), in Jiangxi, became known as the “Porcelain City”. At the time, people began to take porcelain to Europe along the Silk Road. The European people liked the fine pieces from the mysterious country in the East. They decided to name the works after their place of production--- Changnan, which they pronounced “china”.Chinese porcelain is known as fine art. People describe it as “white as jade(绿玉)，thin as paper, bright as a mirror and musical as a bell”.People also draw beautiful pictures, mostly flowers, plants and birds on porcelain. The pictures show different wishes and meanings. For example, peach means long life and dragons and phoenixes may bring good luck.Today, porcelain is still common in our daily life, you can see it everywhere. And when you are going to choose a perfect wedding gift, there’s nothing like a porcelain tea set.24.forget 25. symbol 26.Dynasty 27.along 28.describe 29.mostly 30. dailyPart 2 Vocabulary and Grammar (第二部分词汇和语法)II.
