ARome had the Forum. London has Speaker’s Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Y orkers have Liz and Bill.Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street corners. Just talk.Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, "Talk to Me," they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.They don't collect money. They don't push religion (宗教). So what's the point? “To see what happens ,”said Liz. “We simply enjoy life with open communication(交流).”Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New Y ork City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return.“It started as a crazy idea,” Liz said. “We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their jobs, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything.”Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went.Marcia had lost her husband to a serious disease. “That was very heavy on my mind,”Marcia said. “To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good,” she explained.To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people showed up, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something they say they'll consider.36. What did Liz and Bill start doing after September 2001?A. Chatting with people.B. Setting up street signs.C.

Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously ,did not give her good service ,pretended not to understand her ,or even acted as if they did not hear her .My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan..”And my mother was standing beside me ,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me cheek already two week late.”And then , in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rather concerned .Y ou agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New Y ork tell him front of his boss.”And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New Y ork next week.”The next week we ended up in New Y ork. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, Isee it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.46.Why was the author’s mother poorly served?A. She was unable to speak good English.B. She was often misunderstood.C. She was not clearly heard.D. She was not very polite.47.From Paragraph 2, we know that the author was ________ .A. good at pretendingB. rude to the stockbrokerC. ready to help her motherD. unwilling to phone for her mother48.After the author made the phone call, ________ .A. they forgave the stockbrokerB. they went to New Y ork immediatelyC. they failed to get the checkD. they spoke to their boss at once49.What does the author think of her mother’s English now?A .It confuses her.B. It embarrasses her.C. It helps her understand the world.D. It helps her tolerate rude people.50.We can infer from the passage that Chinese English ________ .A. is clear and natural to non-native speakersB. is vivid and direct to non-native speakersC. has a very bad reputation in AmericaD. may bring inconvenience in AmericaDDogs wag(摇摆) their tails in different directions depending on whether they are excited and wanting to move forward or threatened and thinking of moving back, a study has found.Researchers in Italy examined the tail wagging behaviour of 30 dogs, catching their responses to a range of stimuli(刺激物) with video cameras. To conduct the study they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years. The dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take p art in the experiment at Bari University. The dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an opening at the front to allow for them to view various stimuli. They were tested one at a time.The researchers led by Professor Giorgio V allortigara of the University of Trieste found that when the dogs were shown their owners—a positive experience—their tails wagged energetically to the right side. When they were shown an unfamiliar humanthey wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm. The appearance of a cat again caused a right-hand side wag, although with less intensity again. The appearance of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a German shepherd, changed the direction of tail wagging to the left. Researchers supposed the dog was thinking of moving back. When the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred company. While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood (心情) of dogs. Computer and videosystems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach.51.The video cameras were used to catch the dogs ’responses because .A. it was easier to catch the dogs’ response changes in the tail waggingB. the dogs were put in the wooden boxes and tested one at a time.C. they enabled the dogs’ owners to know about their dogs’ habitD. the dogs wagged their tails in different directions when they were in different moods52.The underlined word“intensity”in the passage means .A. surpriseB. worryC. excitementD. interest53.When there are no stimuli, a dog will .A. wag to the leftB. wag to the rightC. not wag at allD. wag to the left and then to the right54.The underlined word “they”in the last paragraph refers to .A. the dogsB. the trainersC. the systemsD. the researchers55.The purpose of doing the experiment is .A. to train dogs for their ownersB. to help people judge the mood of dogsC. to help dogs find companyD. to help people choose their pet dogs附加题阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的(A、B、C、D)四个选项中选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
