What would you think Would you think they were laughing at something humorous that one of them said Or — be honest with yourself — would you think they were laughing at you Yes, you.
Being laughed at is a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) common fear. But a major study published recently found that this fear is not the same around the world. It differs from culture to culture.
People in Finl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and were the least likely to believe that people laughing in their presence were making fun of them. Less than ten percent of Finns in the study said they would think that, compared to eighty percent of people in Thailand.

This fear of laughter can be really sad for those who live with it.

Bob Darden is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) now a college professor in Texas. But in 1960, he was a small child whose father had just brought home the family’s first long-playing phonograph (留声机). Two of the records were known as pop songs and country music but those did not interest the boy. The other one was different. It was Mahalia Jackson’s Christmas album (专辑). He played it over and over.
Bob Darden’s interest ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in that kind of music never went away. When he grew up, he became black gospel music (福音音乐) editor for Billboard Magazine. As years passed, he found it harder and harder to find the music he loved. In 2005, Bob Darden wrote a letter to the New York Times newspaper. He expressed concern that black gospel music was disappearing. A man named Charles Royce read the letter and called that day. Charles Royce’s gift was used to help create the Black Gospel Music Restoration Project at Baylor, where Bob Darden taught. Two years later, with the help of Charles Royce, the music collection has grown.
In 2011, former Presid ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ent George W. Bush learned about the collection. And then he invited some people from the team to come up to show him the project and what they’ve achieved. He said that was a wonderful project and that he was very impressed.
Experts say African-Am ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erican gospel music was the basis (基础) of most American music in the 20th century. Every rock-and-roll African American artist, every rap, every soul artist came out of the church, and sang these songs.
Now, parts of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )this collection are on the way to Washington. It is an important gift to both the United States and the world. It has made black gospel music available for more people. In the future, more and more people will have access to this kind of music.
43. What kind of music did Bob Darden like when he was young
A. Pop music. B. Country music.
C. Classical music. D. Black gospel music.
44. When did the collection of black gospel music progress much
A. In 2005. B. In 2007.
C. In 2011. D. In the 20th century.
45. Which of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) following about the Black Gospel Music Restoration Project is TRUE
A. Former President George W. Bush took part in the project.
B. The project was started by the New York Times newspaper.
C. The project made gospel music the basis of American music.
D. The project will make more people hear black gospel music.
46. What can we learn from the passage
A. People can only h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ear gospel songs in the church.
B. Mahalia Jackson ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’s Christmas album was popular with young people.
C. Charles Royce ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is Bob Darden’s teacher and also likes gospel music.
D. Bob Darden h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as made a great contribution to the development of black gospel music.

I visited London fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r the first time in the spring of 2004 with a few Australian friends. I fell in love with this city as soon as I saw it. If I can manage to live there, I will be very delighted. Though that visit lasted only a few days, my friends and I managed to include quite a few things in the trip.
First of all, it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was high tea. Anyone who knows me knows that food is an important part of my daily life and one of the central parts of my vacation. Even for those who are not very interested in food, high tea in London is an experience that can’t be missed. My friends and I went to a high-end hotel where for $50 (about 25) each we got unlimited coffee or tea and unlimited little finger sandwiches and sweets. It was well worth the price and the service was excellent.
For those used to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the wide open space of America, Europe is much more crowded, with little towns and historical sites everywhere. For travel, what that means is that when visiting London, day trips to other nearby places are very doable (可行的). I went to Stonehenge and Bath while I was there. I had a lovely time in both places. I bought some sweets in Bath and little jam jars at the gift shop in Stonehenge. Stonehenge especially was a bit strange. I felt like I’d been there before. Maybe in my past life
Europe has lots of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )famous castles (城堡), and no trip to London would be complete without a visit to at least one of the castles. The Tower of London is a good choice as it’s so famous in history. Buckingham Palace is another choice, though visitors are only allowed to enter at certain times, so my friends and I just watched the changing of the guards from outside the gate.
In any histo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ric city, there will be some amazing must-see art. There are quite a few museums all around London. For those tired of normal art, there are strange museums such as Madame Tussauds and the London Dungeon. They are full of fun and definitely not ordinary places of interest.
Then there’s the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )famous London Eye. It is actually a big Ferris wheel (摩天轮). I enjoyed riding it as it gave me the chance to really see London stretch out in front of me. It also resulted in some nice pictures of London. This might be a fun ride for a family to take together, especially if a short break from walking is wanted.
Travelers wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thout much money will also like the beautiful parks throughout London. It is not short of green plants in the center of this city. Nice flowers cover many of the parks, making them a great natural attraction for tourists and locals alike.
Once the major at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tractions have been checked off on the to-do list, there are some little things still needed to be paid attention to. Yorkshire pudding and shepherd’s pie are two kinds of traditional delicious food. Britain is also famous for its beer, so tourists should try it. Keep in mind as well that bars and the subway system shut down relatively (相对地) early. Unlike New York, London does sleep. And of course, London’s weather is famously damp, so get ready for rain. With all that said, be ready to throw away your to-do list since the best way to see London or any new city is to go with others and be ready for adventure.
47. While visiting London for the first time, the author ________.
A. made quite a few friends in London
B. had a very good impression of London
C. began to be fond of high tea in London
D. tasted all of the traditional food in London
48. Why does the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) author talk about the Tower of London in the passage
A. To stress the importance of the tower.
B. To introduce one of the castles he visited.
C. To show his trip to London was complete.
D. To give an example of London’s famous castles.
49. While visiting London, you are supposed to ________.
A. take enough money B. take an umbrella with you
C. return home as early as possible
D. make as many friends as you can
50. The author wrote this passage mainly to tell us ________.
A. his experiences in London B. what he thinks about London
C. the reasons for visiting London
D. what to see and what to do in London
四、任务型阅读 (共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
Many people put o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ff going to a doctor because of being scared. The fear of doctors is not unusual at all. People do not go to the doctor as often as they should for many reasons. Some people just do not like the idea of going to a doctor even for a checkup (检查). Other people do not want to hear what a doctor has to say about their condition or they have the fear of thinking that their condition is worse than what it really is. This is a bad situation and your condition may get worse overtime, so it is necessary for you to see a doctor.
Having a fear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of doctors has happened to many people. If you are one of these people, you must think about the consequences (结果) of what could happen if you do not go to the doctor and your condition becomes worse. This could cost you thousands of dollars in medical bills when you do decide that it is time to go to the doctor. If you are afraid to go to the doctor because you are afraid to hear what the doctor may say, then your chance of recovering is slim (微小的).
If you want to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )go to the doctor but are afraid, take someone along with you. This can encourage you to go to a doctor. The fear of doctors happens to the best of us when we do not know what health problems we have. If you have waited to go to a doctor for any reason, it may be your chance now to go and find out about your medical condition so that you do not have any more worries.
If you go to a doctor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in the beginning, the doctor will tell you what is wrong and your condition can be cured in time with the right medications (药物). Thus, most conditions, if caught in time, can be turned around in just a few days. If you wait too long, then sometimes surgery (手术) needs to be performed. However, you can prevent it by seeing a doctor when your medical problems first come about. In a word, if you get over your fear of doctors, you’ll live a longer and healthier life.

The Generation Gap
As is shown ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in the picture, a father sitting on a sofa asks his daughter about her school. However, to his surprise, his daughter is running away, saying, “You can read all about it on my blog, Dad.”
The problem ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is very common nowadays. Born and brought up in two totally different times, parents and children usually disagree with each other in many aspects. What will happen if the problem is not paid enough attention to First of all, parents may feel that their children are becoming distant. Worse still, they may misunderstand their children, thinking their children don’t respect them. And on the other hand, their children will feel lonely, as if no one understands them.
From my point of v ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iew, what leads to the problem is lack of communication. It is necessary for us to have a talk with our parents from time to time. After all, our parents have much more life experience than us and they’re willing to give us valuable advice and help us whenever we are in need.
