Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing. A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They found that miscommunication was always possible even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot.

Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”.

For many kids, the Internet is at their fingertips. From computers to smartphones, a web of information is open to them. According to a new report, about three out of four kids aged 12 to 15 connect the Internet using a mobile device from time to time. Many younger kids are online too.
Julian Zeitlinger, 9, from New Jersey, uses his computer to watch videos and play games. To keep him safe online, his parents monitor his web use and discuss Internet safety with him. “I ask my parents whether something is nice or bad，” Julian says.
Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information. The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands.A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.
Have you ever had to enter a parent's e－mail address when signing up for a website That safety measure is there because of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information, such as a phone number or full name, without a parent's permission.
This July, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created in 1998 when there were no smart phones. The nature of the way kids get online has changed, FTC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said.
When the changes take effect, COPPA will apply to mobile devices and newer forms of advertising. It will expand what falls under “personal information” to include videos, photographs, and services that give users location.
COPPA doesn't cover everything that can go wrong online. That is why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online.
“There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe,” says privacy expert Shai Samet. He runs kidSAFE, which checks whether a site meets kidSAFE standards and is safe. “It's important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it also can be dangerous if you are not careful.” he adds.
8. Julian's parents check his web use to make sure ________.
A. he doesn't watch too many videos B. he doesn't play computer games
C. he controls his online time D. he stays safe on the Internet
9. What's one of the changes with COPPA
A. It broadens the concept of personal information.
B. It prevents users from making their location public.
C. It covers everything that goes wrong online.
D. It says no to any kind of advertising.
10. People often hold the wrong idea that ________.
A. formal websites are always safe B. the Internet is becoming safer and safer
C. COPPA can ensure their complete safety D. daily checks prevent future online problems
11. Why does the author write the passage
A. To ask parents to look out for their kids. B. To talk about online safety for children.
C. To introduce a new law. D. To sell an online product.
D
Stores play music to change the way customers feel. Clothing stores for teenagers play popular music. It is exciting and makes the customers feel happy, but music does more than that. It can change the way a person shops.
According to studies, the volume (音量) of music changes how people shop. Customers shop quickly when store music is very loud. They hurry through the store, but they buy just as much. When music is quiet, customers shop slowly. Customers take time to look at the products and talk with the salespeople. Quiet music is good for products that take time and information to buy.
Slow music makes people slow down. In restaurants with slow music, customers spend more time eating. Slow music also slows down customers in supermarkets. Customers notice more products as they walk through the store. With slow music in supermarkets, sales go up by 38 percent.
Familiar music gives shoppers a good idea of time. People know the beginning, middle, and end of a familiar song. When customers hear music that is not familiar, they don’t notice the time. When they don’t notice the time, they spend more time shopping and buy more. People remember past experiences and feelings when they hear familiar music. Many stores play old, happy music so customers feel good. When customers hear new music, they forget about the world outside of the store. Some stores use new music so their customers relax while they shop.
Stores choose music that fits their products. A bookstore plays classical music and jazz. It gives the store a serious and intelligent feeling.

When the shrill (尖锐的) ring of the phone echoed (回响) through the living room, Jane was still sleeping. She slowly opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the clock on the bedside table. It was already nine o’clock! Though still sleepy, Jane knew she had to get up because her mother had been working in her office day and night for several days and she couldn’t expect her younger brother Tom, who was sleeping like a pig, to answer the phone. She quickly put on a coat and dashed into the living room. As she picked up the receiver, on the other end came the warm greeting, “Good morning, my dear!”
It was the voice of her father, a sea man who seldom returned home due to his duties earning money to support the family. On hearing her father’s voice, Jane’s sleepiness disappeared.
Born in a not-so-rich family, Jane and Tom felt the stress of life, but they were happy to enjoy the family atmosphere. At school, they were straight-A students and took part in various after-school activities, earning the pride of their loved ones.
“Good morning Dad. Why are you calling so early on a weekend ” Jane inquired, pretending to be slightly annoyed. “Tom and I have been very nice recently.” “My dear, today is your mother’s birthday. I have ordered a cake online and it will arrive at our doorstep in the late afternoon. Do remember to take the cake. It is my surprise for your mother.”
Upon hearing her father’s words, Jane felt a twinge of embarrassment. How could she have forgotten such an important day!
While chatting with her father, Jane’s gaze (凝视) wandered around the room and saw a lot of dirty clothes scattered (散落) on the sofa. The floor hadn’t been cleaned for a few days since her mother had been too busy with work this week to attend to such domestic matters.
Glancing at the clock again, Jane realized she still had enough time to prepare a surprise for her mother.
“Well, Dad, now I’m going to wake Tom up. We will give Mum a surprise, too!” Jane said and hung up the telephone.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Jane hurried to Tom’s room and shared her plan with him.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“Happy birthday, Mum!” Jane and Tom shouted when their mother opened the door.

For many kids, the Internet is at their fingertips. From computers to smartphones, a web of information is open to them. According to a new report, about three out of four kids aged 12 to 15 connect the Internet using a mobile device from time to time. Many younger kids are online too.
Julian Zeitlinger, 9, from New Jersey, uses his computer to watch videos and play games. To keep him safe online, his parents monitor his web use and discuss Internet safety with him. “I ask my parents whether something is nice or bad，” Julian says.
Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information. The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands.A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.
Have you ever had to enter a parent's e－mail address when signing up for a website That safety measure is there because of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information, such as a phone number or full name, without a parent's permission.
This July, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created in 1998 when there were no smart phones. The nature of the way kids get online has changed, FTC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said.
When the changes take effect, COPPA will apply to mobile devices and newer forms of advertising. It will expand what falls under “personal information” to include videos, photographs, and services that give users location.
COPPA doesn't cover everything that can go wrong online. That is why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online.
“There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe,” says privacy expert Shai Samet. He runs kidSAFE, which checks whether a site meets kidSAFE standards and is safe. “It's important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it also can be dangerous if you are not careful.” he adds.
8. Julian's parents check his web use to make sure ________.
A. he doesn't watch too many videos B. he doesn't play computer games
C. he controls his online time D. he stays safe on the Internet
9. What's one of the changes with COPPA
A. It broadens the concept of personal information.
B. It prevents users from making their location public.
C. It covers everything that goes wrong online.
D. It says no to any kind of advertising.
10 People often hold the wrong idea that ________.
A. formal websites are always safe B. the Internet is becoming safer and safer
C. COPPA can ensure their complete safety D. daily checks prevent future online problems
11. Why does the author write the passage
A. To ask parents to look out for their kids. B. To talk about online safety for children.
C. To introduce a new law. D. To sell an online product.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了儿童上网的安全问题及COPPA（儿童网络隐私保护法案）的成因、发展等特征。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中To keep him safe online, his parents monitor his web use and discuss Internet safety with him.可知为了保证他的网络安全，他的父母监视他的网络使用，并和他讨论网络安全问题。由此可知，Julian的父母是出于安全考虑才管控他上网的。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中It will expand what falls under “personal information” to include videos, photographs, and services that give users location.可知它将扩大“个人信息”的范围，包括视频、照片和提供用户位置的服务。由此可知，COPPA的变化是把个人信息的范围拓展到多个方面。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe,” says privacy expert Shai Samet.可知隐私专家Shai Samet说：“有一种误解是，如果一个网站遵循COPPA，它就是完全安全的。”由此可推知，人们误以为COPPA能确保他们绝对的安全。故选C。

When they don’t notice the time, they spend more time shopping and buy more. People remember past experiences and feelings when they hear familiar music. Many stores play old, happy music so customers feel good. When customers hear new music, they forget about the world outside of the store.

【解析】
【导语】本文是两篇记叙文。第一篇简要介绍的是“万婴之母”林巧稚，第二篇简要介绍的是美国的旧金山。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：林巧稚是一位伟大的女性，她被称为“万婴之母”，一生接生了5万多名婴儿。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以使用关系代词，先行词Lin Qiaozhi指的是人，所以使用关系代词who。故填who。
【37题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：林巧稚是一位伟大的女性，她被称为“万婴之母”，一生接生了5万多名婴儿。此处为非谓语动词作状语，deliver与逻辑主语Lin Qiaozhi之间为主动关系，且发生在谓语动词之前，所以此处使用现在分词的完成式。故填having delivered。

【40题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：经过努力，她成功了，成为北京协和医院第一位女住院医师。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰名词woman，名词woman前有序数词修饰，所以此处使用动词不定式形式作后置定语，且hire与逻辑主语woman之间为被动关系，所以此处使用不定式的被动式。故填to be hired。
【41题详解】
考查动词。句意：我们都承认旧金山是一个著名的城市，它位于美国西海岸。根据提示的汉语，表示“承认”应为admit，此处为主句的谓语动词，根据句意以及从句中的谓语动词is可知，此处为一般现在时，且与主语之间为主动关系，主语为复数意义的代词。故填admit。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：我们都承认旧金山是一个著名的城市，它位于美国西海岸。此处为on the coast of意为“在……海岸线”符合句意。故填on。
【43题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：这座城市在1906年发生的地震后进行了重建，那次地震夺去了3000多人的生命。此处为定语从句的谓语动词，根据时间状语in 1906可知，此处句子时态一般过去时，且与主语that指代的先行词the earthquake之间为主动关系。故填occurred。
【44题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：这座城市在1906年发生的地震后进行了重建，那次地震夺去了3000多人的生命。此处为定语从句的谓语动词，结合句意可知，此处介绍的是发生在1906年地震造成的伤害，所以使用一般过去时，且与主语which指代的先行词the earthquake之间为主动关系。故填claimed。
【45题详解】
考查动词。句意：在淘金热期间，无数人从世界各地来到这里寻求财富。根据提示的汉语，表示“寻找”应为seek，此处位于不定式符号to之后，使用动词原形。故填seek。

It was already nine o’clock! Though still sleepy, Jane knew she had to get up because her mother had been working in her office day and night for several days and she couldn’t expect her younger brother Tom, who was sleeping like a pig, to answer the phone. She quickly put on a coat and dashed into the living room. As she picked up the receiver, on the other end came the warm greeting, “Good morning, my dear!”
It was the voice of her father, a sea man who seldom returned home due to his duties earning money to support the family. On hearing her father’s voice, Jane’s sleepiness disappeared.
Born in a not-so-rich family, Jane and Tom felt the stress of life, but they were happy to enjoy the family atmosphere. At school, they were straight-A students and took part in various after-school activities, earning the pride of their loved ones.
“Good morning, Dad. Why are you calling so early on a weekend ” Jane inquired, pretending to be slightly annoyed. “Tom and I have been very nice recently.” “My dear, today is your mother’s birthday. I have ordered a cake online and it will arrive at our doorstep in the late afternoon. Do remember to take the cake. It is my surprise for your mother.”
Upon hearing her father’s words, Jane felt a twinge of embarrassment. How could she have forgotten such an important day!
While chatting with her father, Jane’s gaze (凝视) wandered around the room and saw a lot of dirty clothes scattered (散落) on the sofa. The floor hadn’t been cleaned for a few days since her mother had been too busy with work this week to attend to such domestic matters.
Glancing at the clock again, Jane realized she still had enough time to prepare a surprise for her mother.
“Well, Dad, now I’m going to wake Tom up. We will give Mum a surprise, too!” Jane said and hung up the telephone.
