Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another. It doesn’t matter where you live in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village—the chances are that you’ll be disturbed by jet planes, transistor radios, oil—powered engines, etc. We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they’re working.
Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be a very frightening experience for a human being. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums （耳鼓）. The noise level in some discos is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.
One recent report about noise and concentration suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really influences their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. It goes on to say that a background noise which doesn’t change too much (music, for example) may even help people to concentrate.
41. According to this passage, the noise pollution, ________.
A. has become the worst in the countryside B. has become better in big cities
C. has spread from cities to villages D. has been controlled in modern cities
42. What does background music refer to
A. Music played while people are working.
B. Music played in the backyard.
C. Noise that continues while you’re listening to other noises.
D. Music used to help people to concentrate.
43. Some people have their hearing harmed ________.
A. while listening to pop music B. in complete silence
C. when speaking loudly D. while watching TV
44. Which of the following isn’t included among the things causing noise
A. trucks B. motorcycles C. electric equipment D. jet planes
45. Scientists have discovered that what prevents people from concentrating on something is
A. all kinds of noise B. great changes in the level of noise
C. background noise D. popular music
C
Nobody laughed when the UK comedy show Little Britain toured the US. One character was a woman who was sick whenever she saw a foreigner. Another was a loud and rude 15-year-old girl cursing at her teachers. But back home British people were laughing thinking “Yes! That’s exactly what we’re like!”
A laugh is a laugh in any language but the reasons for it can be very different. Britons and Americans speak the same language but humor does not always translate.
The Office, a UK TV series （连续剧）, was changed for the US. Both the US and UK series are set in a boring workplace in a boring town. But David Brent the boss of the UK office is not a nice guy like Michael Scott in the US version. “We had to make Michael Scott a slightly nicer guy.” wrote series creator Ricky Gervais. “He couldn’t be too mean.”
Gervais said British people are different from Americans because “Britons make fun of people we like or dislike”. He believes the differences between the American and British senses of humor come from different education background.
“Americans are brought up to believe they can be the next president of the United States” he wrote. “Britons are told ‘It won’t happen to you’.”
Things usually turn out fine at the end of every US Office episode （集）. But in. David Brent’s office-and in lots of UK comedies-the last scene is often sad. You are often left with the feeling that things just couldn’t get worse.
Cultural differences are no laughing matter. But comic differences can be a window into a Culture.
46. What is the purpose of the first paragraph .
A. To show that British humor is not funny at all.
B. To show that American people don’t understand British people.
C. To show that Britain and America have different stereotypes.
D. To show how humor may mean different things in different cultures.
47. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “mean” in Paragraph 3
A. Unkind B. Great C. Average D. Ugly-looking
48. Which of the following statements about The Office is TRUE according to the passage
A. David Brent is quite a nice guy. ,
B. Michael Scott is a rather a mean guy.
C. Episodes in the UK version often end on a hopeless note.
D. Episodes in the US version often end in a boring way.
Episodes in the UK version often end on a hopeless note.
49. What can we infer from the article
A. Britons do not like to make fun of others.
B. British comedy often has a moral message.
C. American people are brought up to be more positive.
D. Jokes are difficult to translate from one language into another.
50. What is the author’s opinion of comic differences
A. They are slight differences that can be ignored.
B. They can partly show cultural differences.
C. They show stereotypes of different cultures.
D. They help people communicate with each other.

第一节 阅读表达 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She. rolled down her window.
“Hey!” she shouted. “I’m driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now " “Actually,” the man said, “I was really hoping to get a haircut.”
“I’ll be right back,” Steller said. She drove off, went to the salon she owns, and asked one of her stylists to help her load a red chair into her car. Then the two of them drove back, and trimmed （修剪） the man’s curly grey hair. He told them about growing up in Mississippi, about moving to be closer to his adult children, and how he still talks to his mom every day. After Steller was done, the man looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he said.
So far, Steller has given about 30 such haircuts to people around the city. And she is keenly aware of the power, of her cleanup job.
“It’s more than a haircut,” she says. “I want it to be a gateway, to show value and· respect, but also to get to know people and build relationships.” Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. "Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely people looked.” she says. “I thought maybe I’d go around and ask if people want free haircuts. I can’t fix their problems, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.”
Steller listens to people’s stories of loss, addiction, and struggle to get back on their feet. And it all began with a belief in simple acts of kindness, such as a free. haircut. “The way you show up in the world matters,” says Steller. “You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them.”
51. Why did Steller stop at a traffic light (No more than 15 words)
52. What did the man do when his hair was being trimmed (No more than 10 words)
53. How did the man feel after a free haircut (No more than 5 words)
54. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean (No more than 10 words)
55. What do you think of Katie Steller and why (No more than 25words)

第一节 阅读表达 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She. rolled down her window.
“Hey!” she shouted. “I’m driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now " “Actually,” the man said, “I was really hoping to get a haircut.”
“I’ll be right back,” Steller said. She drove off, went to the salon she owns, and asked one of her stylists to help her load a red chair into her car. Then the two of them drove back, and trimmed （修剪） the man’s curly grey hair. He told them about growing up in Mississippi, about moving to be closer to his adult children, and how he still talks to his mom every day. After Steller was done, the man looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he said.
So far, Steller has given about 30 such haircuts to people around the city. And she is keenly aware of the power, of her cleanup job.
“It’s more than a haircut,” she says. “I want it to be a gateway, to show value and· respect, but also to get to know people and build relationships.” Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. "Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely people looked.” she says. “I thought maybe I’d go around and ask if people want free haircuts. I can’t fix their problems, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.”
Steller listens to people’s stories of loss, addiction, and struggle to get back on their feet. And it all began with a belief in simple acts of kindness, such as a free. haircut. “The way you show up in the world matters,” says Steller. “You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them.”
