Ⅱ. 完形填空
Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks 16 than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more 17 than we realize. In fact, non-verbal（非言语）communication takes up about 50% of what we really 18 . And body language is particularly 19 when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so 20 a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. 21 , different societies treat the 22 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having 23 contact（接触）even with friends, and certainly not with 24 . People from Latin American countries, 25 , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it’s possible that in 26 , it may look like a Latino is 27 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 28 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 29 —which the Latino will in return regard as 30 .
Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 31 . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from 32 cultures, there’s a strong possibility of 33 . But whatever the situation, the best 34 is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be 35 .

Ⅲ. 阅读理解
A
Eddie McKay, a once-forgotten pilot, is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada.
It all started when Graham Broad, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, found McKay’s name in a footnote in a book about university history. McKay was included in a list of university alumni（校友）who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives（档案馆）in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. He was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling realisation. “After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said Broad. Excited by the findings, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view.
Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron（中队）as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world,” says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke, the most famous German pilot at the time.” Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.
McKay’s war records were destroyed during a World War Ⅱ air bombing on London—an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.
But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007. “I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word ‘deceased（阵亡）’ next to his name,” said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of McKay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country.”
36. What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay
A. A uniform of McKay.
B. A footnote about McKay.
C. A book on McKay.
D. A picture of McKay.
37. What did the students find out about McKay
A. He trained pilots for some time.
B. He lived longer than other pilots.
C. He died in the Second World War.
D. He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.
38. McKay’s flying documents were destroyed in ________.
A. Belgium B. Germany
C. Canada D. England
39. What is the text mainly about
A. The research into war history.
B. The findings of a forgotten hero.
C. The pilots of the two world wars.
D. The importance of military studies.
B
Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.
“Give this package to Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily,” Tony said. “You don’t have any luggage, right ”
“Only this backpack,” Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”
“That’s right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”
“Thanks.”
Is Brian a criminal（罪犯） Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only ＄110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.
Every year about 80, 000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone. But if you have very little money, can be flexible（灵活的） about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!
40. Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel
A. Because they were the uniforms for air couriers.
B. Because that made him easier to be recognised.
C. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.
D. Because he did not have any luggage with him.
41. An air courier is a person who ________.
A. manages a business company in foreign countries
B. organises international flights for tourists
C. travels around the world with cheap tickets
D. delivers papers and packages to foreign countries
42. Businesses choose the air-courier service because ________.
A. it costs less B. it is flexible
C. it saves time D. it grows fast
43. One of the disadvantages of travelling as an air courier is that he ________.
A. cannot decide when and where to travel
B. cannot take any luggage with him
C. has to wear two pairs of jeans
D. saves little money from the travel
C
It was the summer of 1965. DeLuca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future. “I’m going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” DeLuca recalls saying. “Buck said, ‘You should open a sandwich shop.’”
That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for
＄1, 000. DeLuca rented a storefront（店面）in Connecticut, and when they couldn’t cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another ＄1, 000.
But business didn’t go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn’t know how badly, because we didn’t have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.
DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They’d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, ‘We are so successful, we are opening a second store.’” And they did—in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.
But the partners’ learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn’t necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out,” DeLuca says.
And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal,” DeLuca adds.
DeLuca ended up founding Subway Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.
44. DeLuca opened the first sandwich shop in order to ________.
A. support his family
B. pay for his college education
C. help his partner expand business
D. do some research
45. Which of the following is true of Buck
A. He put money into the sandwich business.
B. He was a professor of business administration.
C. He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.
D. He rented a storefront for DeLuca.
46. What can we learn about their first shop
A. It stood at an unfavourable place.
B. It lowered the prices to promote sales.
C. It made no profits due to poor management.
D. It lacked control over the quality of sandwiches.
47. They decided to open a second store because they ________.
A. had enough money to do it
B. had succeeded in their business
C. wished to meet the increasing demand of customers
D. wanted to make believe that they were successful
D
Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons：a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ’come home,’ but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.
The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan（贷款）program. They will each graduate with ＄20, 000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear from more families like the Jacobses. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
At the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439％ from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147％. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.
“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.
48. According to Paragraph 1, why did the plan of the Jacobs family fail？
A. The twins wasted too much money.
B. The father was out of work.
C. Their savings ran out.
D. The family fell apart.
49. How did the Jacobses manage to solve their problem
A. They asked their kids to come home.
B. They borrowed＄20, 000 from the schools.
C. They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.
D. They got help from the schools and the federal government.
50. Financial aid administrators believe that ________.
A. more families will face the same problem as the Jacobses
B. the government will receive more letters of complaint
C. college tuition fees will double soon
D. America’s unemployment will fall
51. What can we learn about the middle class families from the text
A. They blamed the government for the tuition increase.
B. Their income remained steady in the last decade.
C. They will try their best to send their kids to college.
D. Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.

Two years before, I traveled to Brazil and I rented for a car. Unfortunate, I had an accident and hit another car, and I needed to stay in a hospital for at least two week. I called my parents, so I did not tell them what had happened. I knew that they will be worried about myself because I was so farther away, and that my mother would not sleep if she knew.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案与解析
1. A 根据someone与call的主动关系排除D项；hear后接不定式作宾语补足语时应省略to，由此排除C项；由listen可判断此处表示正在求救故选A项。
2. D 考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知，it为形式主语，代替的是后面的主语从句，在主语从句中，及物动词do需要宾语，所以应选用what引导该从句。句意：总统能采取什么措施来结束这场罢工根本不清楚。
3. A 句意：在我看来，一切将顺利进行。as far as I am concerned就我而言。
4. A sb. is considered to have done sth. 表示“某人被认为已完成做某事”。
5. C 句意：根据统计数字，日货在中国的销量额近期仍有可能下降。be likely to有可能。
6. B 考查强调句型。分析句子结构可知，该句是强调句型，强调主语，not...but...连接两个并列主语。句意：影响我们的生活的不是偶尔做的事情，而是一贯做的事情。故选B项。
7. B 句意：“我被这道数学题难住了。你能帮我一下吗 ”“对不起，这是我力所不能及的。”ability意为“能力，本领，技能”，beyond one’s ability意为“超出某人的能力，力所不能及”。strength“体力，力气”；energy“精力”；force“力，武力”。
8. C 本题考查词义辨析及语态。句意为“污染问题已经提交当地政府，可还没有得到解决”。problem应为被解决的对象，所以此处应为被动语态，因此排除A、B项。settle意思是“解决”，而bring out指“拿出”，因此正确答案为C项。
9. C 考查动词辨析。句意为：今年九月我女儿就要上中学了，我发现找到一个适合她需要的学校要花一段时间。suit“适合”，符合句意。match“搭配”；fit“合身”；attach“贴上；系上”。
10. D compared with/to为固定词组，意为“与……相比”；“令人满意的”应该用satisfying。
11. A 考查引导表语从句的连词。remain是系动词，后面跟的是表语从句。句意为“那个迷路的小女孩决定待在原地等她妈妈”。表语从句中缺地点状语，故A项正确。
12. B 考查主语从句。句意：尽管大约有两千名病人已经服用了这种药物，但是它会产生什么样的副作用还不能确定。根据句意可知应该选择B项引导主语从句，what在这里实际上是作为形容词来修饰后面的“side effect（副作用）”。
13. B 考查It’s a pity that…句型。句意：昨晚的演讲很精彩，你没去参加太遗憾了。it是形式主语，that引导主语从句。what a pity表示“多遗憾啊”。
14. A 考查交际用语。句意：“我认为特蕾西需要找一份新工作。”“对，这也是我们一直在谈论的。”exactly意为“对，是的，正确”，符合句意。cheer up意为“兴奋起来”；please do意为“请做这件事”；really意为“真正地”，都不符合句意。
15. D 考查介词短语的辨析。句意：从面积和人口上来看，它是那个国家最重要的城市。in favor of意为“支持，赞成”；in case of意为“以防”；in view of意为“鉴于，考虑到”；in terms of意为“从……方面来看”。根据句意可知选D项。
16. B 由首句“肢体语言是所有语言中沉默、秘密而又最有威力的语言！”可知，本句应表示“肢体语言比语言更有说服力”，所以本题选择louder。
17. D 我们的肢体发出多于我们可以想象到的信息。身体发出的是message“信息”，而不是sound。sound泛指自然界的一切声音；invitation邀请；feeling感情，感受。
18. D 事实上，非言语交际占据了我们想表达的大约50%。mean意思是，意味着。
19. C 根据下文论述，当涉及跨文化交流时，肢体语言尤为重要，故选important“重要的”。Immediate“立刻的”，表示动作的直接性和迅速性；misleading“误导的”；difficult“困难的”。
20. C 肢体语言几乎已经成为我们的组成部分，以致常常被忽视。此处实际上是对“so much a(n)+名词”的用法的考查。四个选项中有此用法的只有much。
21. A 下文是举例，故选for example“例如”。thus因此；however然而；in short简而言之。
22. B 不同的社会对人们之间的距离有不同认识。空格后面的北欧人和拉丁美洲人等的例子都与distance“距离”有关。
23. C 北欧人通常不喜欢肢体的接触，故选bodily“身体的”，25空后面的touch each other是提示。
24. A 北欧人不喜欢和朋友有肢体上的接触，更不用说陌生人了。enemy虽然与friend相对，但此处是说不同国度文化的差异，并不是敌我的分歧。
25. B 由上文可知，此处表示语意上的转折，故选on the other hand“另一方面”，本句讲到拉丁美洲人喜欢肢体接触。in other words换句话说；in a similar way用相似的方法；by all means当然可以。
26. B trouble麻烦；conversation谈话，交谈；silence 寂静，沉默；experiment实验。in conversation在交谈中，在会话中。
27. D 在交谈中，北欧人不喜欢肢体接触，拉丁美洲人喜欢肢体接触，所以我们看到的很可能是一个拉丁美洲人跟随一个挪威人移动，故选following“跟随”。
28. A 拉丁美洲人喜欢肢体接触，为了表示友好，会离挪威人越来越近，故选closer“更近地”。
29. C 挪威人不喜欢肢体接触，会一直向后退，故选backing away后退。step forward前进；go on 继续；come out出版，发芽。
30. D 挪威人的后退反过来会让拉丁美洲人觉得是冷漠。weakness虚弱；carelessness粗心；friendliness友谊；coldness冷漠。
31. A 选项中的talk（交谈）与26空的conversation相呼应，且文章主要讲述交谈中的body language。
32. A different不同的；European 欧洲的；Latino拉丁美洲的；rich富裕的。different cultures不同的文化。
33. C 当来自不同文化的人聚会时，有可能会出现误解，故选misunderstanding“误会，误解”。curiosity好奇心；excitement 兴奋；nervousness紧张。
34. D 此处是针对避免误解而提出建议，故选advice“建议”。chance机会；time时间，次数，倍数；result结果。
35. B 你希望怎样被对待，那你就怎样对待别人，B选项与前面的treat others相呼应，一个是主动形式，一个是被动形式to be treated。
36. D 事实细节题。从文章第二段中“He was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. ”“After looking for him all day, there he was...”可知答案。
37. A 事实细节题。从文章第三段中“...spent some time as a flying instructor in England...”可知答案。
38. D 事实细节题。从文章第四段中“McKay’s war records were destroyed during a World War Ⅱ air bombing on London...”可知答案。
39. B 主旨大意题。文章第一段提出有一位曾经被人们遗忘的飞行员现在成为历史专业学生们谈论的一个话题，下文中重点描述了他是谁，他曾经为他的祖国做了什么，以及他为什么被忘记。
40. C 事实细节题。从文中第一段“He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage.”可知，布莱恩之所以穿这么多衣服是因为他的背包是满的，没法放他自己的衣服。
41. D 事实细节题。从文中第六段“Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. ”可知航空快递员的工作是在不同国家之间递送文件和包裹。
42. C 事实细节题。从文中第六段最后一句可以看出，选择航空快递服务虽然昂贵，但是速度快，故选C项。
43. A 事实细节题。从文中最后一段最后一句可以看出，航空快递员的旅行安排多变，有时一周也没法换衣服，但是可以到处旅行。故A项“不能确定旅行时间和地点”是做航空快递员的最大特点。
44. B 细节理解题。由第一段中的“I’m going to college, but I need a way to pay for it…”可以推出他的目的是pay for his college education。
45. A 细节理解题。由第二段“...Buck wrote a check for ＄1, 000. ”以及“Buck kicked in another
＄1, 000. ”可知应选A项。
46. C 细节理解题。由第三段“All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs. ”可以看出他们开始时赔本，更谈不上利润了，因此选C项。
47. D 细节推理题。由第四段“We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, ‘We are so successful, we are opening a second store.’”说明他们想让人们相信他们发展得很成功。
48. B 细节理解题。从文中第一段最后一句可知她父亲失业，因此他们的家庭计划破灭了。故B项正确。
49. D 细节理解题。从文中第三段第一句可知这家人最终解决了这个难题，他们从学校得到资金救助，每个儿子可以通过联邦政府的货款工程将借款额增至最大即每人20 000美元。故D项正确。
50. A 推理判断题。从文中第四段及第五段可知随着失业率的增加及学费的不断增加，更多家庭将会面临同样的问题，也将会有更多学生申请助学货款。
51. C 细节理解题。根据第六段最后一句可知，即使学费上涨、家庭困难、债台高筑，中等收入家庭也愿意将孩子送往大学深造。

One possible version:
There is no denying that safety plays an important part in our daily life. Recently our school has carried out a programme aiming at making our campus a safe place to stay in.
I consider this as indeed a good practice, which will keep us aware that safety should always come first in our daily life, whether when we stay at school or outside it. When we are doing sports, we should attach importance to the safety and avoid being hurt. Furthermore, when we get into trouble with our classmates, we should remain calm and avoid any form of fighting, which may only bring suffering and pain to us mentally and physically.
As far as I’m concerned, I feel all the students and teachers should work hard and creatively to keep the “safety at school” activity in mind. Besides, we are supposed to observe the law and discipline wherever we are at any moment.
