Text 2
M：Is there a good place to look at the sky where you live

M：Last Sunday I went to the cinema and saw a film which tells a story of an American high school girl who woke up one day to find that her father，whom she had never seen，was a king.Before she knew she was a princess，she was the most unpopular girl in school，the kind of girl few people would give a second look.
Things were not the same when it became known that she was a princess.She no longer had peace at the school where she studied.She was frightened by those who only wanted to make a fool of her or use her.It turned out that the only people on whom she could depend were those who had always stood by her in the days when she was unpopular.There were many moments when she wanted to run away from this life，but in the end she was encouraged by her father's letter and was able to lead the life of a real princess.
I think The Princess Diaries is a really good film.
第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Different countries have different cultures; today let's learn something about them.
In the US and Germany
In the US, a set of kitchen knives seems like the perfect gift for a wedding or holiday.However, in certain European countries like Germany, some people think that a knife presented as a gift will make your friends angry.But there is a way to deal with it.Tie a penny to the knife or the gift box.The receiver then returns the penny to you as a “payment”．
In Zimbabwe (津巴布韦)
In Zimbabwe, it is not uncommon to be directly asked for a gift.And if you receive a gift suddenly, the worst thing you can do is to refuse it, even if the family is poor.What you should do is to show your thanks.Gestures (手势) are better than words.A dance can speak a thousand words.
In India
In India, gifts are given with the right hand.As left hands are considered unclean in Indian culture, gestures such as touching, passing money, or giving gifts are to be done with the right hand.Contrary to some other cultures, an odd (奇数) number of objects or money stands for good luck.
In China
Chinese New Year has a rich set of traditions.One of the most popular customs of this holiday is giving out money in red envelopes (红包)．The gifts are meant to bring good luck.
In Israel (以色列)
Although giving gifts is a kind gesture, thankyou cards and notes are not a common part of the gifting custom.If you want to give others some money as a gift, please place your money in an envelope to ensure it's received in a respectful manner, or they will be angry.

A new course on world heritage, and its conservation offers a good opportunity for the young people to learn about the heritage (遗产) of humanity and gain a sense of responsibility to help protect the planet we live on.
According to a world heritage education programme jointly launched by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and China's Ministry of Education, the course will first be offered at several schools in Beijing before being included as a mandatory course (必修课) for high school students nationwide.
The new course covers photos slide shows and documentaries on the magnificence of the world heritage sites.The class aims to tell children what world heritage is and why and how it should be protected.A total of 171 nations, including China, have signed the Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage.Listed are 754 sites all over the world, of which 29 are in China—the third most after Spain and Italy.Currently, protection of the country's cultural and natural resources leaves much to be desired.Education is undoubtedly the best way to cultivate people's sense for protecting cultural and natural resources.
The introduction of such a programme in Chinese classrooms will certainly help our young people realize the significance of common heritage, learning about world heritage sites, the history and traditions of different cultures, ecology, and the importance of protecting biological and cultural diversity.
More importantly, it will help cultivate a sense of responsibility in the minds of young participants.This is critical in protecting these cultural and natural legacies, as well as our living environment and the limited resources for sustainable development.

Gabriela worked for a multinational company as a successful project manager in Brazil.Later she was transferred to manage a team in Sweden.She was excited about her new role but soon realized that managing her new team would be a challenge.
Despite their friendliness, Gabriela didn't feel respected as a leader.Her new staff would question her proposals openly in meetings, and when she gave them instructions on how to carry out a task, they would often go about it in their own way without checking with her.When she announced her decisions on the project, they would continue giving their opinions as if it was still up for discussion.
What Gabriela was experiencing was a culture shock in expectations.Dutch psychologist Geert Hofstede uses the concept of “power distance”to describe how power is distributed (分布) in different cultures.In her previous work environment, Gabriela was used to a high power distance culture where power is respected.In such a culture, leaders make the big decisions and are not often challenged.Her Swedish team, however, were used to working in a low power distance culture where employees often work together with their bosses to find solutions and make decisions.Here, leaders act as coaches who encourage independent thought and expect to be challenged.
When Gabriela became aware of the cultural differences between her and her team, she had an open conversation with them about their feelings about her leadership.
Pleased to be asked for their thoughts, Gabriela's team openly expressed that they were not used to being told what to do.They enjoyed having more room for initiative and creative freedom.When she told her team exactly what she needed them to do, they felt that she didn't trust them to do their job well.
With a better understanding of the underlying reasons behind each other's behaviour, Gabriela was able to make adjustments to her management style.Finally, she effectively motivated her team to achieve their goals.

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight.Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full.However，Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr.Joseph Mercola，a health expert，the French see eating as an important part of their life style.They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed(挤出) between the other daily activities.Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full.So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped.In addition，he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week.The French，instead，tend to shop daily，walking to small shops and farmers' markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits，vegetables，and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States，Mireille Guiliano，author of French Women Don't Get Fat，decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food.Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences，evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits.Today the rate of obesity—or extreme overweight—among adults is only 6%.However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%—and is growing.
文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了美国和法国的生活方式的不同，以及他们的生活方式与肥胖之间的关系。作者认为美国人在与肥胖作斗争而法国人享受着美食且保持身材苗条，由此引出话题，并展开讨论。
32．In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr.Joseph Mercola C
A．They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.
B．They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.
C．They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.
D．They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句“According to Dr.Joseph Mercola，a health expert，the French see eating as an important part of their life style.”可知法国人将饮食当作生活重要的一部分。故选C。
33．This text is mainly the relationship between B .
A．Americans and the French
B．life style and obesity
C．children and adults
D．fast food and overweight
解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了美国和法国的生活方式的不同，而且美国的饮食易造成肥胖，而法国的饮食可保持身体苗条，因此推断文章主要介绍生活方式与肥胖之间的关系。故选B。
34．The text is mainly developed A .
A．by contrast(对比)
B．by space
C．by process
D．by classification(分类)
解析： 推理判断题。纵观全文可知，作者在讨论生活方式与肥胖的关系时，使用对比手法，对比了美国人与肥胖作斗争而法国人则享受着美食并保持身材苗条。故选A。
35．Where does this text probably come from D

C．A book review(书评)．
D．A health report.

文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。《只此青绿》——舞绘《千里江山图》在央视春晚一炮走红，中国的年轻人也越来越为传统文化感到骄傲。
解析：
56. 考查非谓语动词。dance drama和title为被动关系，应用过去分词作后置定语。故填titled。
57. 考查冠词。句意：名为《只此青绿》——舞绘《千里江山图》的舞剧在今年的央视春晚上播出，一炮而红。hit在此处意为“红极一时的人/物”是可数名词，表示泛指，且hit的发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。
58. 考查介词。be famous for意为“因……而闻名”，为固定短语。故填for。
59. 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了展示中国传统绘画的美，舞者们每个人都有一个不同的发型，看起来就像一块山岩。此处应用动词不定式，构成不定式短语作目的状语，设空处位于句首，首字母需大写。故填To show。
60. 考查定语从句的引导词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，解释说明先行词a different hairstyle，指物，且在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which。故填which。
61. 考查名词。句意：他们穿的衣服是绿色和蓝色的色调，也是对山川和河流的诗意诠释。根据设空后的“of green and blue”可知，不止一个色调，应用名词复数。故填shades。
62. 考查词性转换。句意：当舞者优雅地舞动时，观众仿佛看到了移动的山川。设空处应用副词，修饰动词moved。故填elegantly。
63. 考查词性转换。句意：当舞者优雅地舞动时，观众仿佛看到了移动的山川。设空处应用形容词，修饰名词mountains和rivers；moving“移动的”。故填moving。
64. 考查形容词的比较级。句意：事实上，越来越多的人，尤其是思想更开放的年轻一代，现在为传统文化感到骄傲，并对它表示极大的喜爱。此处表示“更年轻的一代”，应用形容词的比较级。故填younger。
65. 考查动词的时态。根据时间状语in recent years可知，应用现在完成时，且主语modern shows为复数。故填have received。

They Don't Mean It
Our family moved here from China two years ago, and we thought we were pretty well adjusted to American ways.This year my parents decided to give a party on Chinese New Year and invite some of our American friends.
The party went pretty well.Our guests were amazed at the flavor of all the special foods.After the dinner, they thanked us for showing them what a real Chinese New Year dinner was like.
“I loved the dishes.You and the girls must have spent hours doing all the work！”Mrs O'Meara said to my mother.
“The girls helped with the cutting and I'm sorry they did such a terrible job.”said Mother.
I heard a little gasp (倒吸气) from my friend Kim O'Meara, who stared wide-eyes at Mother.When I asked what the matter was, she told me she just didn't understand why my mother said so.
I had to laugh.“She doesn't mean it！It's just the way she talks.”
Seeing her still confused look, I went on explaining，“In China, parents consider it good manners to deny praises about their children.Otherwise, it would be the same as bragging (自夸)．”Kim seemed a little hesitant, but she nodded anyway.
That Easter, the O'Mearas invited our family for dinner.Mrs O'Meara cooked a huge ham which we enjoyed a lot.As Mrs O'Meara started cutting up the cake for dessert, Mother said，“I'm not sure if I can eat one more bite.That was the best ham I've ever tasted！”
“Aw, that ham was terrible，”said Kim.“I bet you could do a lot better, Mrs Yang.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
There was a stunned (震惊的) silence around the table.
I finally knew how Kim had misunderstood what I had said.
参考范文：
There was a stunned (震惊的) silence around the table.Kim was on the receiving end of a cold stare from Mrs O'Meara, whose face reddened with embarrassment.I was also shocked at my friend's mean remark.Clearing my throat, I finally asked，“What made you talk like that to your mother？”Kim whirled around, seemingly furious.“But you were the one who told me that saying nice things about your own family was the same as bragging！”she stuttered.“I was just trying to act modest！”
I finally knew how Kim had misunderstood what I had said.“Listen, Kim，”I took her hands in mine to calm her down，“Chinese parents might say critical things about their children to show modesty but young people are always expected to be respectful to the elders.”Hearing this, Kim sighed deeply, her cheeks flushed.The awkward silence was soon dispelled as the misunderstanding was erased.Drooping her head, Kim apologized for her impolite behavior.Mrs O'Meara winked at her, joking，“That's all right.We know you didn't mean it！”UNIT 3 学业质量检测

Different countries have different cultures; today let's learn something about them.
In the US and Germany
In the US, a set of kitchen knives seems like the perfect gift for a wedding or holiday.However, in certain European countries like Germany, some people think that a knife presented as a gift will make your friends angry.But there is a way to deal with it.Tie a penny to the knife or the gift box.The receiver then returns the penny to you as a “payment”．
In Zimbabwe (津巴布韦)
In Zimbabwe, it is not uncommon to be directly asked for a gift.And if you receive a gift suddenly, the worst thing you can do is to refuse it, even if the family is poor.What you should do is to show your thanks.Gestures (手势) are better than words.A dance can speak a thousand words.
In India
In India, gifts are given with the right hand.As left hands are considered unclean in Indian culture, gestures such as touching, passing money, or giving gifts are to be done with the right hand.Contrary to some other cultures, an odd (奇数) number of objects or money stands for good luck.
In China
Chinese New Year has a rich set of traditions.One of the most popular customs of this holiday is giving out money in red envelopes (红包)．The gifts are meant to bring good luck.
In Israel (以色列)
Although giving gifts is a kind gesture, thankyou cards and notes are not a common part of the gifting custom.If you want to give others some money as a gift, please place your money in an envelope to ensure it's received in a respectful manner, or they will be angry.

A new course on world heritage, and its conservation offers a good opportunity for the young people to learn about the heritage (遗产) of humanity and gain a sense of responsibility to help protect the planet we live on.
According to a world heritage education programme jointly launched by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and China's Ministry of Education, the course will first be offered at several schools in Beijing before being included as a mandatory course (必修课) for high school students nationwide.
The new course covers photos slide shows and documentaries on the magnificence of the world heritage sites.The class aims to tell children what world heritage is and why and how it should be protected.A total of 171 nations, including China, have signed the Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage.Listed are 754 sites all over the world, of which 29 are in China—the third most after Spain and Italy.Currently, protection of the country's cultural and natural resources leaves much to be desired.Education is undoubtedly the best way to cultivate people's sense for protecting cultural and natural resources.

Gabriela worked for a multinational company as a successful project manager in Brazil.Later she was transferred to manage a team in Sweden.She was excited about her new role but soon realized that managing her new team would be a challenge.
Despite their friendliness, Gabriela didn't feel respected as a leader.Her new staff would question her proposals openly in meetings, and when she gave them instructions on how to carry out a task, they would often go about it in their own way without checking with her.When she announced her decisions on the project, they would continue giving their opinions as if it was still up for discussion.
What Gabriela was experiencing was a culture shock in expectations.Dutch psychologist Geert Hofstede uses the concept of “power distance”to describe how power is distributed (分布) in different cultures.In her previous work environment, Gabriela was used to a high power distance culture where power is respected.In such a culture, leaders make the big decisions and are not often challenged.Her Swedish team, however, were used to working in a low power distance culture where employees often work together with their bosses to find solutions and make decisions.Here, leaders act as coaches who encourage independent thought and expect to be challenged.
When Gabriela became aware of the cultural differences between her and her team, she had an open conversation with them about their feelings about her leadership.
Pleased to be asked for their thoughts, Gabriela's team openly expressed that they were not used to being told what to do.They enjoyed having more room for initiative and creative freedom.When she told her team exactly what she needed them to do, they felt that she didn't trust them to do their job well.
With a better understanding of the underlying reasons behind each other's behaviour, Gabriela was able to make adjustments to her management style.Finally, she effectively motivated her team to achieve their goals.

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight.Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full.However，Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr.Joseph Mercola，a health expert，the French see eating as an important part of their life style.They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed(挤出) between the other daily activities.Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full.So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped.In addition，he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week.The French，instead，tend to shop daily，walking to small shops and farmers' markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits，vegetables，and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States，Mireille Guiliano，author of French Women Don't Get Fat，decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food.Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences，evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits.Today the rate of obesity—or extreme overweight—among adults is only 6%.However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%—and is growing.
文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了美国和法国的生活方式的不同，以及他们的生活方式与肥胖之间的关系。作者认为美国人在与肥胖作斗争而法国人享受着美食且保持身材苗条，由此引出话题，并展开讨论。
32．In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr.Joseph Mercola
A．They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.
B．They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.
C．They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.
D．They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.
33．This text is mainly the relationship between .
A．Americans and the French
B．life style and obesity
C．children and adults
D．fast food and overweight
34．The text is mainly developed .
A．by contrast(对比)
B．by space
C．by process
D．by classification(分类)
35．Where does this text probably come from
A．A TV interview.
B．A food advertisement.
C．A book review(书评)．
D．A health report.

Seeing her still confused look, I went on explaining，“In China, parents consider it good manners to deny praises about their children.Otherwise, it would be the same as bragging (自夸)．”Kim seemed a little hesitant, but she nodded anyway.
That Easter, the O'Mearas invited our family for dinner.Mrs O'Meara cooked a huge ham which we enjoyed a lot.As Mrs O'Meara started cutting up the cake for dessert, Mother said，“I'm not sure if I can eat one more bite.That was the best ham I've ever tasted！”
“Aw, that ham was terrible，”said Kim.“I bet you could do a lot better, Mrs Yang.”
