正确答案：D

Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient（接受者） know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person “feel special.”We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say “I’m sorry.”Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would frrl comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages－often very expressive ones.

第二部分阅读理解（2010.9）Passage 1:Clowns（小丑）like to make people laugh. They paint their faces and put on funny noses. Sometimes they put on a sad face but most of the time they put on a happy face. They also wear funny clothes.Most clowns work in circuses. They do all kinds of silly things to make the audience laugh. They run, jump, fall down, turn somersaults (翻滚，斤头), and roll over. They ride donkeys backwards. They push each other in wagons or wheelbarrows. Sometimes they shout and sing. Clowns are funny men, and occasionally, women, too! A circus is not a circus without clowns!Children especially enjoy watching clowns. A clown named Cookie often visits hospitals to entertain sick children as well as older people. Sick people need to laugh. It helps them to get better faster.There is an old saying: Laughter is good medicine. 1. Clowns make people laugh by _ D. doing all kinds of silly things _. 2. Clowns are _ D. mostly male _. 3. The sentence A circus is not a circus without clowns means _ A. a circus will not be of much fun if it has no clowns4. Clowns are a great favorite with _ C. children _. 5. The best interpretation of the old saying Laughter is good medicine may be _ D. laughter helps sick people get better faster _. Passage 2:Many people now keep animals as pets. Numerous people have cats and dogs in their houses. Other people like fish, caged birds, tortoises and even snakes, monkeys or lions. Millions of dollars and much time are spent every year on pet food, equipment, taming and medical treatment.Of course, there are some people who do not look after their pets properly or are even cruel to them. For this reason a royal society was created in 184 in Britain to prevent cruel treatment of animals.In contrast to the love of pets is the fact that blood sports still exist in most countries. People go hunting foxes, elephants, pandas, ducks, rabbits, and other animals, or go fishing, not because they need the meat to eat, but just for pleasure. In some countries, blood sports like bull fighting and cock fighting are common and hunting rare animals for commercial purposes has brought about an even more serious problem in the protection of the ecosystem.It is strange that people love certain animals, but enjoy killing others, in cruel ways, too. 1. How do most people treat their pets? D. They spend a large amount of money and time taking care of them.2. Which of the following is NOT a blood sport? D. Horse racing. 3. What do you think is the speakers attitude toward blood sports? A. He thinks they are cruel. 4. Which of the following seems to affect the earths ecosystem most seriously? C. Illegal killing of rare animals. 5. What does the passage mainly imply? C. Animals should be well treated and protected.Passage 3:My secret for staying young is simple. Put all attention to the part of your brain and keep it young and growing. Keep your mind awake and youll stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and stick to learning at least one new thing every day. No matter how old you are, its not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no knowledge before she made herself into a well-known engineer. I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly-paid dress designer. Get over the idea that you are too old to go back to school. I know a man who entered medical college at 70. He got his degree with honours and became a famous doctor. Another man went to law school at 71 and now was an active lawyer. Staying young is easy for those, old or young, who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to try. Keep your mind awake and active: thats the only way. 1. According to the passage, that peoples brain of all ages remains young and growing is_ C. a secret _. 2. It is wrong for the old to_ A. think himself too old to go back to school _.3. The passage says that the man who entered college at 70 _ D. became famous in the medical circle _.4. The only way to keep young is_ D. to keep ones mind awake and alive _.5. The writer suggests that you should _ C. keep on _learning at least one new thing every day.Passage 4:Mrs. Jones telephone number was 3463, and the number of the cinema in her town was 3464, so people often made a mistake when they wanted the cinema.One evening the telephone bell rang and Mrs. Jones answered it. A tired man said, At what time does your last film begin?Im sorry, said Mrs. Jones, but you have the wrong number. This is not the cinema.Oh, it began twenty minutes ago, said the man.

Body Language in the United States
1.Most people shake hands and make eye contact when they meet people for the first time.Among very good friends,a woman may give another woman a little hug,and a man may kiss a woman quickly on the cheek.Males don't usually hug one another,however,this is changing.Men usually shake hands with the right hand.Sometimes they use the left hand to either cover the handshake or lightly hold the other person's arm.This shows greater warmth and friendship.Most people wave hello or good-bye by extending the arm,palm facing outward,and twisting the hand at the wrist.Another way is to raise the arm,palm outward,and move the whole arm and hand back and forth.This is important to know because in many other countries,the same movements mean"no".
2.When people are waiting in a public place,such as the post office,they usually form lines.Some people get angry and complain if someone pushes their way into a line or jumps ahead of other people.Moreover,many women like men to open doors for them.They also like men to give up their seats on public transportation.However,some women do not like this type of behavior.They feel that men and women should be treated in the same way.
3.In the United States,it's important to make direct eye contact in business and social situations.If you don't make eye contact,people will probably think that you are bored or not interested.If there is silence in these situations,people usually try to make conversation.Periods of silence make many people uncomfortable.People in the United States usually stand about one arm's length away from each other while talking or standing together.This space is called"the comfort zone".
4.In the United States,mothers sometimes show that they are angry with children by shaking an index finger at them.People may show that they like children by patting them on the top of the head.

A:Body Language With Children
B:Body Language for Greetings and Good-byes

That one is on February 28.It may seem strange,but it sounds like more fun than the one on February 9.______(5)Do you like the idea of inventing a new holiday?If you do,then you will want to markMarch 26 on your calendar.That is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day.______(1)A:They bring him back to town,put a crown on his head,and make him king for three days.B:Some of the days people celebrate,however,are less serious.C:That is supposed to be Toothache Day.D:Then begins the world's biggest food fight.E:Some people have fun imagining new holidays.F:Jokes are supposed to be funny,but these jokes do not make everyone laugh.答案：B解析：the days（天，节日；复数），带有定冠词说明其上一句应该有该词出现。how-ever（然而；表示转折），说明此句与其上一句是转折关系。less serious（不那么严肃），说明其上一句应该属于正常或严肃的事情。空白处所在句子为，“学校、银行和政府机构都在这样的节日中停休。”“其中有些天又非常奇怪。”很明显应补入B项。but（可是，但是）承上启下，转折。these jokes（这些恶作剧），说明前一句肯定有jokes（玩笑）这个词。not...laugh（不……笑），说明下一句一定会是“哭”或“生气”。文中说“这一天，人们开着戏弄人的玩笑。”“发笑的人是开玩笑的人，而被戏弄的人往往会很生气。”很明显应补入F项。Then(然后，接着），起承上启下作用。（应注意：该词引导的是一个全倒装句，“the world's biggest food fight”是主语，“begins”是谓语）。the world's biggest food fight 中的food（食物）非常重要，说明其前一句中肯定有“食物”这类词。文中说：“每年的八月末，大卡车载着二十多万磅的西红柿进入这个小镇。”很明显应补入D项。They（他们；指人，复数）；him（他；指人或动物）。文中说，“Killorglin城的人们上山抓了一只野山羊。”很明显应补入A项。That（这一或那一），代词，指代前一句中的某个名词。Toothache Day（牙痛日），说明其前一句一定会有“某月某日”，才能定为（大写的）……日。空白处50的前一句：“似乎很奇怪，可是听起来比这更有趣的是2月9日。”很明显应该补入C项。
