五、阅读理解
A
The koala is Australia’s second most famous animal.This gentle,slow-moving animal has lived in the forests of Australia for over half a million years.In the first quarter of the century,early settlers killed about ten million koalas for their fur.Today,the koala is strictly protected.
Gum leaves are the koala’s only food.And instead of a tail the animal has a pad that enables it to sit comfortably for hours in the fork of a gum tree.The Aborigines named this animal koala meaning “I don’t drink”.The gum leaves supply all the moisture it requires.So koala is an aboriginal word.
The koala lives in trees in forests.It doesn’t eat any meat and it doesn’t drink any water.The koala is active at night and during the day it sleeps in the fork of a tree.The koala has long arms and sharp curved claws for climbing trees and for grasping branches.It has a large hairless nose and it hasn’t got a tail.
The koala usually has only one baby a year.At birth the baby is very small.At first it cannot see and it hasn’t got any fur.The female koala has a pouch on her stomach.Inside this pouch the mother produces milk for her baby.The baby stays in its mother’s pouch until it is about six months old.Then it clings to its mother’s back for another six months.After this the young koala starts to live a solitary(单独的)life.

A.they often attack human beings
B.they have very good furs
C.they are very ugly animals

答案:B

A.five months old
B.a year and a half old

D.three years old

解析:细节判断题。从最后一段中的“The baby stays in its mother’s pouch until it is about six months old.Then it clings to its mother’s back for another six months.”可以看出答案为C项。
B
“Small talk”includes topics,such as sports,weather,jobs,or past experiences.Most people do not talk about religion,politics,or personal feelings with strangers.People do not usually talk about the personal lives of their conversation partners.This emotional distance does not mean people dislike you,but personal lives are discussed only with close friends and family.
There are few “ritualistic” exchanges in English,but you should know that“How are you ”and“How’s it going ”are greetings,not questions about your life.“See you later.”or“See you soon.”are ways of saying good-bye,not appointments.
People in the US are curious.They will ask you a lot of questions.Some of their questions may appear ridiculous,uninformed(无知的) and elementary,but try to be patient in answering them.You may be the first person from your country whom they have met,and they will have very little understanding of your life.Most people are sincerely interested in learning about you.
Many people believe in the“scientific method”of understanding the world,so they look for facts and evidence when you tell them something new.This may seem odd to students whose cultures emphasize feelings or emotions,but people are not rude if they say “Show me”or“Prove it”.
Loud conversations usually mean people are angry.Most conversations are moderate in volume with few gestures.Do not speak too loudly or too quietly,and keep your hands under control.When you have communication difficulties,you may think it is because of spoken or written language.However,many misunderstandings happen because of non-verbal communication,or body language.
5.What would be the best title for the passage
A.Making Conversations in the US
B.What Is “Small Talk”
C.Make Yourself at Home in the US
D.Understanding American Cultures
答案:A
解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文介绍跟美国人交谈时应该注意的问题,也就是美国人的交谈习俗。B项仅是文章的细节;C项偏离了文章的中心;D项概念过大。
6.Which of the following would be an open topic of American conversations
A.What one feels about his new colleague.
B.The war in Iraq.
C.Story of a sports star.
D.One’s income.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据常识可排除D项,美国人的谈话一般不涉及个人隐私的问题,如年龄、婚姻、收入等。从第一段可知,人们闲谈的话题其中包括体育方面的内容,而政治、宗教以及个人感情则不是公开谈论的话题。
7.What should you do if Americans say “Show me”or“Prove it”
A.Explain to them that your cultures emphasize feelings or emotions.
B.Try to give them as many facts as possible.
C.Tell them you don’t understand the “scientific method”.
D.Ignore their questions and change to another topic.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。从文章倒数第二段可知,美国人注重事实和证据,因此,你应该给他们提供一些例子以便他们更好地理解你的观点。
