It speaks 21 than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more 22 than we realize. In fact, non-verbal communication takes up about 50% of what we really 23 , And body language is particularly 24 when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so 25 a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. 26 , different societies treat the 27 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having 28 contact even with friends, and certainly not with 29 . People from Latin American countries 30 touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it’s possible that in 31 , it may look like a Latino is 32 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 33 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 34 which the Latino will in return regard as 35 . Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 36 .

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answers to each question.Passage oneWhy do some birds flock when they feed? Many researchers say birds forage in groups to protect themselves from being attacked. Since there are a greater number of eyes on the lookout, individual birds can spend more time eating and less time worrying about being eaten.Thomas Caraco, a biologist at the University of Rochester, recently studied yellow-eyed juncos over a three-day period to see how they altered their feeding habits in the presence of a trained Harris hawk. When Caraco released the bird, it swooped over the juncos, appearing to attack. The birds reacted by huddling together in a flock. And, despite the threat from above, they spent less time scanning and more time eating the food Caraco provided than they did when foraging individually.To see how the juncos would react if they had somewhere to hide, Caraco placed a Christmas tree in the feeding area. The birds became even freer.One negative note; when the number of birds in the flock increased beyond a certain point, they began to fight. The dominant juncos hogged the food and the meek birds lost out.41. Juncos are probably ________.A.very nice to look atB. stronger and more fierce than hawk sC. spending a lot of time worrying about being eatenD. mild in disposition42. According to the passage, when birds eat in groups, they ________.A. are less worriedB. eat lessC. are more worriedD. alter their feeding habits43. The passage says that ________.A. many birds don’t like to forage in groupsB. juncos are always ready to attack when they are togetherC. juncos foraging individually will spend more time scanningD. juncos like the food provided by Caraco best44. Caraco’s Christmas-tree experiment shows that ________.A. birds are not afraid of treesB. birds become bolder if there is a hiding-place nearbyC. birds often hide themselves in treesD. birds are free whether there are trees around or not 45. What’s the best title for this passage?A. Flocking for SafetyB. The Story of JuncosC. Feeding HabitsD. The Research on JuncosPassage TwoOn hot, humid days you can hardly wait until you get to an air—conditioned room. Air conditioning is a method of changing the condition of the air from what it is to what it should be in order to improve your comfort and health. The machinery for doing this is complicated, but the principles of air conditioning are simple. A fan draws in the air from outside the building. The air is full of dust which may affect your health. Therefore, it is first forced through fine screens which catch the dust and filter it out of the air. It cools the air to a temperature that may suit you. The air still contains a proportion of moisture. Too much moisture makes you uncomfortable. Too little makes your nose and throat feel dry. The conditioner adjusts the air to the right proportion of moisture, taking out extra moisture or adding some if there is not enough. The air in your room, too, passes again and again through the conditioner, and in a short time the temperature, the amount of moisture and purity are just right.46. The purpose of air conditioning is __________.A. to manufacture better airB. to improve the condition of the airC. to change the air we now have into a new kind of airD. to produce fresh air47. Conditioning makes air better for us __________.A. by blowing away the dustB. by treating the dust with some chemicalsC. by cooling the dustD. by removing the dust48. On warm or hot days the air can be cooled __________.A. to a desired temperatureB. to a freezing temperatureC. to only a few degrees below the outside temperatureD. Both A and B49. The air conditioner__________.A. removes all the moisture in the airB. adds moisture to the airC. maintains the proper proportion of moisture in the airD. prevents moisture from coming into the room50 . According to the passage, __________.A. air conditioning is of great use only in summer.B. air conditioning is of great help to our comfort.C. it’s not always easy to achieve the desired level of the moisture in the airD. it’s the fan in the air-conditioner that is of great importance.Passage ThreeThe last few days before Christmas passed quickly and it was soon Christmas Eve. That night when everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn’t sleep. He still couldn’t think of what he wanted his special Christmas present to be. He wondered how Santa would know what to bring him if he didn’t know himself.As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof and a sound downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and raced down the hall to the stairs hoping to catch a glimpse of the old fellow before Santa departed for his next stop.“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of presents to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and mournful eyes. Bunny have mistaken the creative for a dog, if it hadn’t been for the antlers(鹿角) on his head.“Are you a reindeer?” asked Bunny.“Yes,” replied the brown creative with antlers, “my name is Ralph.”“And you were pulling Santa’s sled?”“I was until I got air-sick,” replied Ralph, “Santa had to leave me here and go on with the other seven reindeer.”“Isn’t it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get air-sick. I mean, isn’t flying what reindeer are famous for?”“I’m afraid that I’ve always had a sensitive(敏感的) stomach when it comes to flying,” replied Ralph. “ But everyone expected me to pull Santa’s sled, so when it was my turn I gave it a try. I’m afraid I just wasn’t cut out for the job. Now I’m stuck here and I don’t know how to get back to the North Pole.”“Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny. As he made the offer, Bunny suddenly realized the special present he wanted from Santa was a new friend!51. Why couldn’t Bunny fall asleep on Christmas Eve?A. he was looking forward to seeing his special present.B. he wanted to take a look at Santa when he came at night.C. he was disturbed by a noise on the roof of his house.D. he was thinking what present to ask from Santa.52. Why did Bunny feel disappointed?A. Santa left before he could have a look at him.B. Santa didn’t bring the special present he wanted.C. everything was silent and there was no sign of Santa coming.D. there was a pile of presents under the Christmas tree but nothing for him.53. What do we learn about reindeer from the passage?A. they make big noises while they are flying.B. they look like dogs except for the antlersC. they are all especially good at pull sleds.D. they suffer stomachaches when they take to the air.54. Why didn’t Ralph go with the other seven reindeer?A. he got stuck in the chimney.B. Bunny asked him to stay.C. he was air-sick.D. he didn’t know how to get back to the North Pole.55. This passage seems to tell us that________A. Santa knows what present a child wants without even being toldB. reindeer are hired to bring presents to children on Christmas EveC. if a child stays awake on Christmas Eve, he could catch a glimpse of SantaD. parents take great care when choosing Christmas presents for their children四、Translation(每小题2分，共20分)Directions:Translate the following Sentences.56. Extinction is one environmental problem that is truly irreversible — once gone, these species cannot be brought back.57. Canberra is proof that — with proper planning — the environment can be preserved in densely populated cities and towns.58. But many people do not realize how these ideas about body image have affected teenagers and children.59. I just happen to think that in life we need to be a little like the farmer who puts back into the soil what he takes out.60. The difference between optimists and pessimists isn’t a difference in life experiences but rather in how people perceive and respond to problems.61. 该是有关当局采取适当的措施来解决交通问题的时候了。

Do some brainstorming about your expenses and how you could possibly cut back on them. It is wise to write them down on paper because it is less easy to dismiss them that way. For example, can you cut down on the amount of gas you use by taking public transportation? If you eat out often, consider making more meals at home. Examine your buying habits.

They're picking up adult coloring books by the droves, at bookstores and craft stores, on and even from the Home Shopping Network.The designs appeal to every interest —from whimsical doodles(异想天开的涂鸦) to circular mandalas, nature scenes and fantasy worlds.Coloring not only evokes happy memories of childhood; the act can also foster a sense of well-being and offer a relaxing respite from our digital world. Crafters have known this intuitively for years.An accumulation of research shows that these creative activities can help you de-stress from everyday pressures. Recent studies suggest that structured, rhythmic endeavors such ascoloring, knitting（针织）, crocheting（编织）or quilting（缝被子）are particularly beneficial because they ease you into a meditative（冥想）state of mind that allows you to push away negative thoughts and worries."These activities engage your hands as well as your mind and your focus," says art therapist Lacy Mucklow, the author of several best-selling Zen-themed（以禅为主题）coloring books. "Plus, the repetitive actions release serotonin(血管收缩素), the brain transmitter responsible for relaxation."Numerous studies have looked into how crafting（手工艺）benefits mood and physical health. In a 2006 study co-sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts and several federal health agencies, researchers found that adults 65 or older who engaged in creative activities such as making jewelry, painting or writing had better overall health, made fewer visits to the doctor, used less medication and had fewer health problems than non-crafters.Stress reduction is a top reason Cathy Simocko-Smith, 59, a professional gardener（园艺工）in Bridgeport, Conn., enjoys coloring. "Coloring at night while I'm watching TV helps quiet my mind," she says. "I can really lose myself in it, and it stops me from thinking about my work and the stresses in my life."Coloring is a great way to explore your creativity — it's easy, inexpensive and you don't have to know how to draw. The 10 to 20 minutes you spend coloring an image that gives you a sense of satisfaction can have a positive ripple effect throughout your day.31. When do women want to color?A) When they have learned online shopping, they start coloring.B) When they face some difficulties, they start coloring.C) When they feel very depressed, they start coloring.D) When they get tougher, they start coloring.32. What does the word “respite” (Para. 3) possibly mean?A) A pleasant environment.B) A beautiful place.C) A good opportunity.D) A short break.33. What does Lacy Mucklow say about coloring?A) It helps your fingers and hands become more flexible.B) It can push away your negative thoughts and worries.C) It provides you with an opportunity to relax.D) It requires repetitive actions so that you need to be focused.34. Why does Cathy Simocko-Smith enjoy coloring？A) Because coloring helps her relieve pressure.B) Because coloring is good for her overall health.C) Because coloring assists her in developing creativity.D) Because coloring increases her working efficiency.35. What does this passage mainly talk about?A) Women particularly enjoy coloring.B) Coloring can be beneficial to you.C) Coloring gives you a sense of satisfaction.D) Coloring becomes a part of people’s daily life.Passage TwoThere are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization（专业化). You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists”（多面手，通才）. And these “generalists” are particularly needed for position in administra tion, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people’s work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist（专业人才，行家）understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. H e is a “trained” man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalist —and especially the administrator —deals with people; hisconcern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated” man; and the humanities(人文学科) are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organization needs them in different proportions（比例）. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you —but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time, you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.36. According to the passage, there is an increasing demand for ________.A) people whose job is to organize other people’s workB) all-round people in their own fieldsC) generalists whose educational background is either technical or professionalD) specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others37. A specialist is a man ________.A) whose job is to train other peopleB) who has been trained in more than one fieldC) who can see the forest than the treesD) whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters38. An administrator is ________.A) a “trained” man who is more a specialist than a generalistB) a man who sees the trees as well as the forestC) a man who is very strong in the humanitiesD) a man who is an “educated” specialist39. During your training period, it is important to ________.A) try hard to be a generalist who understands one fieldB) choose a profitable job which is suitable to youC) find an organization that provides you with leadershipD) decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or generalist40. A man’s first job ________.A) is never the right job for himB) should not be regarded as his final jobC) should always be the right jobD) is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobSection B: （本题满分20分，包括10道小题，每小题2分）Directions:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify theparagraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraphmore than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Match the correct letterwith the statement.Why our Homes Make us HappyA) Humans add layers of significance to home and place, so homes and neighborhoods help us keep alive some of the strongest sources of what has given our lives meaning, well-being, and happiness. It’s no wonder, anthropologists (人类学家) and aging experts say, that we often say people are going home when they die. For many children, a sense of home and place is shaped by their room, and it can evoke strong memories and feelings decades after they've moved away.B) “There is pretty strong evidence that the environment in which people live is closely linked to their well-being,”says Graham Rowles, a gerontology(老年学) professor at the University of Kentucky. “It’s sort of like the human animal attachment to territory is built into our DNA.” We have a need for a place that is called home which provides security（安全感）, control and belonging, among other things. “But most of all, it’s a place that provides us with a centering—a place from which we leave each morning and to which we return each evening,” he adds.C) American culture is strongly rooted in feelings of independence, liberty, and control, says Robert Rubinstein, who teaches anthropology at the University of Maryland at Baltimore County. “We live in a society that is concerned with freedom, and part of that developmentis being able to make a space for yourself, and having a central place from which to look out at the world,” he says.D) Rick Scheidt has spent much of his professional life talking with aging residents of the vanishing small towns that dot the prairies (大草原) in Kansas and other Midwestern states. Here, sense of belonging is very powerful. Often, it is all that is left. He says, “People look at aspects of their environment in a very personal way. I might be talking to an older woman about her memories of a place, and I’d say, ‘Look at that cedar tree over there. It looks like it's been through hard times and gotten hit by lightning.’ And she’ll look at that tree and say, ‘Oh, that’s third base,’drawing on memories of when she played baseball there as a child.”E) Such memories become part of a person's life story, which often is central to their sense of well-being and assessment of whether their life has had meaning. “We can't understand anything else that people are telling us without understanding their life story,” Rubinstein says. The role of home and sense of place in a person's life story can be significant. As people age, he notes, their life story takes on added importance.F) Likewise, the meaning of a person's home is enriched with memories. Habib Chaudhury teaches classes on aging and environment at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. He identifies four areas where home takes on added meaning for older residents. “The first is the emotional attachment that is formed,” he says, and it grows over time. “It contributes to their emotional well-being, their self-esteem, and their confidence about doing things.”G) Next is familiarity with their physical surroundings. This is particularly important if a person has lost some physical and cognitive (认知的) abilities. Knowing their way around their home helps compensate, and being comfortable in their living space reduces stress and helps well-being.H) “The third factor is knowing their neighborhood and being comfortable there and with the people they know,” Chaudhury says. “Fourth is more conceptual,”he says. “It has to do with their sense of identity. The sense of attachment to a home can become so strong that it becomes part of their emotional identity,” Chaudhury says. “It can help people make up forother losses in their lives,” such as the death of a spouse, end of a career, or reduction of their circle of friends.I) Making the transition from a long-occupied family home to newer surroundings can have a big impact on people at all stages of life, but may be especially dreadful for older people. “This can be very difficult for older people who have lived in a place for 40 or 50 years,”Rubinstein says. “There is a need for many people for counseling for how to go through this process of downsizing”.J) Rowles sees signs that America’s determined pursuit of mobility has been changing the attitudes of younger generations. The recession (经济衰退) and serious slowdown in home sales has, for the time being, reduced the pace of home relocations. But the broader pattern has been of a society in which people can live anywhere and unconsciously depend on businesses and other institutions to copy a comforting sense of place all over the country. K) “We're much more mobile than past generations,”Rowles says. “There is less and less attachment to place. What are we losing as we are constantly moving around? Families are separated. There is no longer a support system in place. Some of the things about home are much more symbolic than real these days.”L) Dreams of having a home of their own are essential, of course, but people should be cautious of investing too much of themselves in their home. At the extreme, this problem shows up in headlines about people who never throw anything away and become isolated in their homes. A healthy home-life balance can be supported by annual “cuttings”of possessions and domestic items. Older homeowners should encourage grown family members to take items, especially those with sentimental value. And when it comes time to move, there is no shame in hiring a downsizing consultant to help with what can be very difficult and emotional decisions.M) It's also wise to identify how important a sense of home and place is to you, and to maintain the level of domestic life that supports your well-being. For some, traveling with a favorite pillow and even bedside knick-knacks(小玩意儿) may help reduce stress and promote a good night's sleep on the road. Other people, by contrast, could care less about where their head lands at the end of the day. Whatever your preferences are, the goal is to be at peace with your surroundings.41. Habib Chaudhury found home develops extra meaning for the elderly in four aspects.42. Americans are becoming more mobile so they don’t have such strong affection for theplace where they live.43. It’s sensible to realize the importance of home to you and to keep good family life foryour health.44. The sources of happiness and well-being can remain alive with the memories created byhome.45. It’s a difficult and even painful experience to change living environment for many people,especially the older generations.46. People are advised not to invest too much in their home even though owning a home is aprimary dream.47. One’s life story is made up of memories from childhood and plays a key role in theirfeelings of health, happiness and whether they life is meaningful.48. Robert Rubinstein says American culture endows home the meaning of freedom as well asa center for people to connect with the world.49. According to Graham Rowles, it’s evident that people’s health is related to the conditionsof the places where they live.50. The concepts of American young people are influenced by the mobility of Americansociety.答案Part I Listening Comprehension （本题满分40 分）Section A (本题满分12 分，包括6 道小题, 每小题2 分）1.C2. A3. B4. D5. A6.
