第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
A
Our wedding was about to begin.My throat was tight and my cheeks got red,but I didn’t care.I was ready to marry David Sanchez.We’re a “nontraditional” couple: getting married not at a church but in a bookstore that supports a charity to fight H.I.V. and homelessness.
“Kim!I could walk you down the aisle(走廊) if you like!” David’s father offered gently.
“I’m OK.But I appreciate that,” I said with a smile.And I was reminded,again,of my dad’s absence.
My father died of cancer six weeks ago.For the last two months,we tried to make him feel comfortable and loved as he departed from this world.He always told us that he didn’t like a funeral(葬礼) and insisted our wedding go forward as planned.But how could we honour him since the wedding would be the first time the family would gather after his death and some even didn’t know he was sick
During the ceremony,my dear friend Eva delivered a reading entitled “When Things Go Missing” by Kathryn Schulz.She paused and got everyone on the same page: “When we are experiencing it,loss often feels like confusion in the usual order of things.In fact,the entire plan of the universe consists of losing,and life amounts to a reverse(逆向的) savings account in which we are eventually robbed of everything.”
I felt the energy full of the room.Everyone was listening.By choosing to accept the pain,we knew what a wedding does to join two families and mark the next chapter for a couple.Loss became a compass that pointed us away from a fantasy and toward celebrating the difficult realities of life.
After rings were exchanged,fried chicken was served,our friends offered so many funny and touching toasts,and finally David sang “Married” on my father’s guitar.I felt joy filling all the holes in my soul.Celebrating my father’s life at our wedding made me grateful for all the time I had spent with him,because it all goes by so fast.
21.What do we know about Kim at her wedding
A.She got a compass as a wedding gift.
B.She enjoyed David’s promise for their marriage.
C.She received more sympathy from families and friends.
D.Sherecalledthedaysspentwithherfatherandunderstoodlifebetter.
22.Why did Kim feel energy full of the room
A.Because she could keep from the pain.

23.What do we know about Kim and David’s wedding ceremony
A.It was held at a church.
B.It was a touching and happy one.

A team of scientists says that playing sounds underwater can get fish to return to areas with severely damaged coral reefs(珊瑚礁).
In an experiment,they found fish returned after hearing recordings of the sounds of a healthy ocean reef.The scientists placed underwater speakers in areas where coral had been dying in Australia’s northern Great Barrier Reef.They played the sounds over a period of about six weeks in 2017 and studied the results.The team reported that twice as many fish arrived in areas where the sounds of healthy coral were played.The sounds also led to a 50 percent increase in the number of species present in the area,the researchers found.Among the arriving fish were species that feed on all major food sources.
The researchers noted the importance of having many different kinds of fish return to the area.Different species of fish perform many activities that support the ocean environment and sea life.“Damaged reefs have a higher chance of recovery if they have healthy fish populations,” the scientists wrote in the report.
Steve Simpson is a professor at the University of Exeter who helped lead the research.He said in a statement that “healthy coral reefs are remarkably noisy places”.They contain the sounds of many kinds of shrimp,fish and other sea creatures.Young fish listen for these sounds when they are looking for a place to settle,Simpson said.
He added that reefs “become ghostly quiet” when they suffer destruction that is usually related to human-caused pollution.Coral damage can cause unappealing smells and sounds that drive shrimp and fish away.But the experiment suggested that the use of underwater loudspeakers was an effective way to get young fish to come back.
Andy Radford,a professor at University of Bristol,said the underwater sounds are a promising way to fight coral reef damage at the local community level.But he noted that other threats need to be,reduced as well.These include climate change,pollution and overfishing.
28.What does the underlined“they”(Para.4)refer to
A.The sounds. B.The corals reefs.
C.The young fish. D.The researchers.
29.What’s the main idea of the text
A.Healthy fish help recover the damaged coral reefs by swimming.
B.People reduce environmental pollution to save dying coral.
C.Scientists find a new way to protect the ocean environment and sea life.
D.Researchers use underwater sounds to fight coral reef damage.
30.What did the scientists find in the experiment
A.Twice as many fish arrived in the healthy coral areas.
B.The sounds led to a 50 percent increase in the number of fish present in the area.
C.Playing the sounds of healthy coral reefs is effective to save dying coral.
D.Damaged reef scan recover completely if they have healthy fish populations.
31.According to Steve Simpson,what will drive fish away from damaged coral reefs
A.Human-caused pollution.
B.The unattractive smells and sounds.
C.Climate change.
D.Overfishing.
D
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.From the beginning,people may send the wrong signal.Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree.For example,business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust.Even with people at work,it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”,usually over a cup of tea,before they do any job.In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafés rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion;instead,there was an uncomfortable silence.The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better,I realised that they thought I was talking too much.In my own culture,we express meaning mainly through words,but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe,cultural differences can cause serious problems.Certainly,English and German cultures share similar values;however,Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.We think that they are rude.In fact,this is just because the culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values,and sometimes these values are quite against each other.However,if we can understand them better,a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
32.According to the text,how can people from different cultures understand each other better
A.By sharing different ways of life.
B.By accepting different habits.
C.By recognising different values.
D.By speaking each other’s languages.
33.What would be the best title for the text
A.Multicultural Environment
B.Cross-cultural Differences
C.How to Understand Each Other
D.How to Build Up a Relationship
34.What will people feel easier to do by eating together at restaurants in some countries
A.Developing closer relations.
B.Sharing the same culture.
C.Getting to know each other.
D.Keeping each other company.
35.What does the author want to show when mentioning his experience in Thailand
A.The English prefer to make long speeches.
B.Too many words are of no use.
C.People from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature.
D.Even talk and silence can be culturally different.

How to Start a Conversation with Someone You Don’t Know
Introduce Yourself
It’s not necessary to be clever when you introduce yourself.Simply focus on being genuine and sincere.When you approach the other person to start the conversation,give him a warm smile and clearly state your name.　36　 Remember to speak at a regular pace,taking care not to speak too quickly or slowly,so that the other person will have no difficulty understanding you.
Begin the Conversation
　37　 A comment about the weather or a current event may be most appropriate.Avoid beginning the conversation with anything too personal,as this may make the other person feel uncomfortable to continue the conversation.After you make your opening comments,give the person enough time to respond.Show a sincere interest in the thoughts he expresses about the subject.
Continue the Conversation
If you are building a rapport,feel free to move on to a bit more personal topics to continue the conversation.　38　 Open-ended questions—those that can’t be answered by a simple “yes” or “no”—help to keep a conversation going.
　39　
When you have run out of things to say or need to move on to do something else,prepare your exit strategy.You may say that you need to use the bathroom or catch up with someone else.Let the other person know how much you enjoyed talking to her.　40　
A.End the Conversation
B.Bring up a general topic to begin the conversation.
C.This will help keep the conversation flowing freely.
D.If appropriate,make plans to talk again at a later date.
E.Your conversational partner will feel valued and appreciated.
F.Explain who you are and why you want to have the conversation.
G.You may want to ask about his favourite hobby,his career,his classes or upcoming events.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I always wondered how people would react if I tried to approach a total stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or in a bustling mall.I personally have always hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my attention in a busy place or when I am rushing around.
Yesterday I had a taste of being stuck in such a desperate situation where my only hope of help would have to come from a total stranger.
I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage.After the purchase in one of the large,fancy,expensive shops,I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot and my phone was dead.
I then requested the shop assistant who had just sold me the luggage,which was not cheap at all,if she could ring the number of my driver for me.She replied,still all smiles,“I’m sorry sir,but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.”
As I was wondering what kind of policy that was,I saw a nice-looking teenage boy coming toward me.Remembering my wife’s interesting theory that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you’re in trouble,I thought I might have a chance.But before I could say a word,he walked past me.It turned out he simply didn’t see me.
I waited a bit longer in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me.Disappointed and tired,I got out of the shop onto the busy street in front.I stood there with people rushing by,looking at their faces to see if there was a sign of kindness on their face.I began wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
At that point I saw a young mother with her two kids.
Finally,a man wearing a cheap T-shirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me.

【故事续写】
At that point I saw a young mother with her two kids.I thought that a beautiful woman with charming blue eyes must be willing to help me.So,with great expectation,I trotted briskly towards her with an appropriate smile on my face,and requested courteously if she could be kind enough to make a phone call for me.However,what I saw was a woman’s face disfigured by frowns and what I heard was a sound of dismay and suspicion under her breath.Without a word,she pulled her kids to escape from me,as if scared by a murderer.I stood there,motionless,with a blank face and a sinking heart.
Finally,a man wearing a cheap T-shirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me.I squeezed a smile though it failed to mask my weariness,and requested him the same thing.Unexpectedly,he took out his mobile phone for me without hesitation or any probing questions.Dancing in his eyes was the real kindness that I had been struggling to seek for so long.From that day on,I began helping other strangers in distress,just like the poor-looking but kind man,with the aim of passing kindness and melting the ice in many people’s hearts.
