She d

11、id not appear to have had an accident, but she was trembling, and clearly in a state of shock, so he rushed her to the nearest hospital. She began to tell the doctors on duty a story which was astonishing. She had been driving along a country road when she had been stopped by a flying saucer (飞碟) la

12、nding in front of her. She had been forced to leave the car and enter the flying saucer by creatures which looked like human beings and which could easily make themselves understood although they could not speak. It was as though they could read her thoughts and she theirs. They treated her politely

13、 and allowed her to leave after carrying out a number of tests on her. As she otherwise seemed to be normal, the doctor decided that she was probably suffering from the side effects of some drug. The woman insisted on being allowed to go home, but when she gave her address it was in a town over a th

14、ousand miles from the hospital. The police then started to look into the matter and soon discovered that there was already a search going on for the woman, whose husband had reported that she had disappeared. Her car had been found with the driver“s door open and the engine running. In front of the

15、car the surface of the road had been completely destroyed not by an explosion or anything of that kind, but as though a large, circular, white-hot object had burnt through it.（分数：10.00）(1).When the policeman found the woman, he sent her immediately to the hospital because the woman _.（分数：2.00）A.was

16、seriously injuredB.was greatly frightenedC.was shivering with cold all overD.had fainted(2).The creatures in the flying saucer _.（分数：2.00）A.could communicate with the woman in speechB.were rude to the womanC.seemed to know what the woman was thinking aboutD.differed from human beings in their appear

19、mperature.(B)“Time cannot be added to a person“s life, but it can be made more valuable by avoiding waste. “ This was the philosophy of a man who devoted most of his time to the creation of new plants: Luther Burbank, the plant magician. Burbank has been called the plant magician because he could do

20、 things with plants which were as amazing as the tricks of a magician. He truly astonished the world with his achievements in the development of many kinds of plants, such as giant fruits with new flavors and trees which grew faster than their ancestors. These, and many more achievements, were of gr

21、eat economic value and benefit to people all over the world. In his lifetime of seventy-seven years Burbank became an American legend. He began life in 1849 on a farm in the state of Massachusetts. It was the same year that men across the continent in California discovered gold, that precious metal

22、so eagerly sought after in the earth. Eventually Burbank would follow them. But he would spend his life drawing a different treasure from the same California earth: a wealth of new plants and fruits. The Massachusetts countryside may have provided young Burbank with a feeling for the mysteries of na

23、ture, but his scientific training came during the visits of an uncle who was a scientist. Through his uncle, Luther met the famous naturalist, Louis Agassiz. Agassiz introduced him to the complicated process by which plants grow, such as the steps in the making of seeds from pollen (花粉) carried by i

24、nsects, by birds, by the very winds of the field. Attracted by the ways of nature, Burbank took his first steps into the work that was to occupy his whole life.（分数：10.00）(1).Luther Burbank was _.（分数：2.00）A.a magicianB.a farmerC.a philosopherD.a scientist(2).Luther Burbank died in _.（分数：2.00）A.1849B.

27、eat fame in America.(C)When you learn a foreign language you must learn more than just the words and the grammar. To communicate successfully in speech, you must also learn the non-verbal language, or “body language“ of that culture. “Body language“ is a term used to describe facial expressions, ges

28、tures, and other movements of the body that send messages. This means of communication is so important that we may actually say more with our movements than we do with words. Unconsciously, everyone understands the importance of body language. That“s why we stand on tiptoe (脚尖) in a crowded room to

29、see a speaker“s face and hands, even though we may be able to hear him very clearly. For some messages, words are not enough. Speaking a foreign language is sometimes difficult because we may not understand the non-verbal signals of another culture, or they may mean something very different from wha

30、t they mean in our culture. For example, nodding the head up and down is a gesture that may communicate a different message in different parts of the world. In North America it means “I agree. “ In the Middle East nodding the head down means “I agree“ and up means “I disagree. “ In a conversation am

31、ong Japanese it often simply means “I“m listening. “ One Japanese student in the U.S. learned the difference the hard way. While speaking with a salesman the student nodded his head politely to show that he was paying attention. The next day the salesman brought a new washing machine to the student“

32、s apartment. Eye contact is also meaningful, but it, too, can mean different things in different countries. In some Spanish-speaking countries, children show respect to an older person by not looking directly into the person“s eyes during a conversation. In other cultures, looking into a person“s ey

33、es is expected. For example, if you don“t do it in the U.S., people may think you are afraid or angry. In the Middle East, direct eye contact during a conversation is more continuous than in many other parts of the world. People who are not used to this may feel uncomfortable.（分数：10.00）(1).What does

34、 “the non-verbal language“ mean?（分数：2.00）A.It means a language without verbs.B.It means a language that has no grammar.C.It means a language without words.D.It means a language that isn“t your mother tongue.(2).The American salesman brought a new washing machine to the Japanese student“s apartment b

35、ecause _.（分数：2.00）A.the Japanese student had ordered itB.the Japanese student showed respect to himC.he thought the Japanese student needed oneD.he misunderstood the gesture of the Japanese student(3).When you are speaking to an American _.（分数：2.00）A.you must nod your head to show you are listeningB

37、g means different things in different countries.C.When you learn a foreign language, you should learn the words, the grammar and its body language as well.D.It is sometimes difficult to communicate in a foreign language because we don“t understand the non-verbal signals of that culture.(5).What is t

38、he main idea of this passage?（分数：2.00）A.It is difficult to speak a foreign language.B.Everybody understands the importance of body language.C.Different cultures have different non-verbal signals.D.Body language is an important means of communication.(D)Historically, the traditional role of women of

39、all classes in Britain had been confined (限制) to that of mother in the home. Single and childless women consequently had an uncomfortable and difficult time. The majority of women had no voting or political rights until 1928, and for centuries wives and their property had been the legal possessions

40、of their husbands. Formal education for women was thought to be unnecessary for their role in life, and was non-existent for the majority. The female position in society became a little better in some respects towards the end of the nineteenth century, but was still very limited. However, elementary

41、 education for all was established and a few institutions of higher education began to admit women in restricted numbers. Since the 1960s, women in Britain have been fighting for greater equality with men in job opportunities and rates of pay. Various laws from the 1970s to the present have been mad

42、e. In spite of all these, men remain better paid than women in many occupations, particularly in industry. Women constitute nearly half the national workforce, there are more employed married women in Britain than in any other European Community country, and some 60 percent of wives are now employed

43、 compared with 22 percent in 1951. But their average weekly wage is still only 70 percent of the average paid to men. This is true of both the manufacturing trades and the service industries. The majority of female workers are consequently badly paid and often unprotected by the trade unions or the
