Together with hot dogs and Coca-Cola, hamburgers have been the most important American contribution(贡献 )to
26、international eating habits. The name “hamburger“ has nothing to do with ham(火腿 ). It is believed that the hamburger was first brought to the United States by Germans from the city of Hamburg some time in the 1850s. From then on the hamburger became a kind of popular American fast food. Now young pe
27、ople in Asia, Europe and South America have learned to eat while on the move; a hamburger in one hand and a soft drink in the other. There have been cries to anger from Italy and Spain about the shortening of the usual lunch break. Instead, young people have discovered a lunch for which they don t h
28、ave to stop at all. However, there are clouds over the hamburger s world. People who concern about health dislike the high animal fat in the hamburger. They think the time saved seems a high price to pay for poor health. The packages in which hamburgers are usually served are causing serious polluti
29、on problems in many large cities. Big hamburger companies are destroying large areas of South American rainforest to produce the cheap meat they need. So, will the hamburger celebrate its next century? 56 In which way do hamburgers change people s eating habits? （ A） People can have their meals at a
30、ny time of the day. （ B） They can be served in any restaurant. （ C） People can have them with soft drinks. （ D） Meal time can be greatly reduced. 57 The hamburger, as a kind of popular American fast food,_. （ A） has a history of over one hundred years （ B） was brought to Europe in the 1850 s （ C） is
31、 usually eaten with the hot dog （ D） is better served in Hamburg 58 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? （ A） Young people in Europe dont stop to buy hamburgers. （ B） It is suggested that hamburgers be eaten with both hands. （ C） Some people in Europe don t like to reduce their l
32、unch break. （ D） Young people in many countries are learning how to eat in their cars. 59 The writer doesn t believe that_. （ A） packages for hamburgers are polluting many big cities （ B） hamburgers will remain popular for the following 100 years （ C） the meat in hamburgers can cause health problems
33、 （ D） cattle raising leads to the destroying of rainforest 59 If you could give anything in the world to your child, you might want to give a love of words. Young children who can express their feelings dont have as many temper tantrums (发脾气 ). They also learn to control themselves using words. A tw
34、o -year -old child reaches toward the oven (烤箱 ) door, then stops, tells herself, “Hot, hot,“ and turns away. Researchers call this “ self -directed speech“. It s one of the ways children learn to do what s right and not to do whats wrong. With each new word, a child gains a broader view of the worl
35、d. Early on, all four -legged animals are dogs or maybe cats. But new words change them into horses, cows, elephants, and zebras. Children who have a wealth of words have a wealth of ideas. By age four, the number of words a child understands tells us how easily that a child will learn to read in sc
36、hool. It even tells us how well shell be able to understand what she reads, and to express her ideas in writing later on. So, how do you give your child this wonderful gift? First of all, talk a lot. Talk when youre feeding or preparing a bottle; talk when youre doing the dishes or walking down the
37、street. Second, do a lot of listening. Even before your child can speak clearly, ask questions and listen for answers. Assume(设想 ) that your child has ideas, and try to figure out what they are. Researchers have found a direct connection between the number of words a child knows and the number of wo
38、rds he hears, and especially the number of questions he is invited to answer. Third, read aloud every day. There are many reasons for reading aloud, but maybe the best is that books contain words; lots of new, different, interestil1g words. Heres an exciting thing that happens when you read aloud ev
39、ery day: You begin to hear “book words“ in your childs speech. Youre walking down the street, and you see a pretty flower. “Look,“ you say, “a pretty flower. “ “Actually,“ your child corrects, “its beautiful.“ Actually? Beautiful? Thats when you know youve truly given your child a love of words. 60
40、A two-year-old child uses the word“ Hot, hot“ (line 4-5, Para.I)_ （ A） to prevent herself from being hurt （ B） to learn a new word （ C） to warn her parents of the danger （ D） to show her large collection of words 61 In the authors opinion, who should do a lot of listening? （ A） The book writers （ B）
41、 The researchers （ C） The parents （ D） The child 62 What is the main subject discussed in the text? （ A） Value of reading aloud children （ B） Power of words in childrens growth （ C） Mind development of young children （ D） Ways to develop a love of reading in children 63 When the child uses “beautifu
42、l“ to respond to the mother, it shows that （ A） the child loves certain words better than others （ B） the word “beautiful“ is used more by children （ C） reading has improved the childs language （ D） the child has the ability to correct parents 63 Different countries have different cultures. A same g
43、esture may have distinct meanings in different countries. For instance, in Africa, people knock at the table with their fingers to call waiters which is considered as impolite in China. In western countries, if you make a circle with your thumb and the index finger (食指 ), and then raise the other th
44、ree fingers, you are suggesting “OK“. The same gesture, however, means “money“ in Japan while makes Brazilian people feel insulted (受侮辱的 ). With that in mind, youd better learn about their custom before travelling to foreign countries. Greeting is an important part of communication between people. W
45、hen greeting someone, Americans tend to hold out their hands and look directly into his/her eyes and then smile. However, sometimes such behavior might bring nothing but misunderstanding in other countries. A handshake might not be accepted and looking others right in the eye can have different mean
46、ings. Asian people regard physical contact as embarrassing; therefore, they do not shake hands. They have their own ways of greeting people. For Japanese, a slight bow of the head is enough. In Korea, women do not shake hands or hug with people; while men might shake hands accompanied by nodding the
47、 head once. In western Asia, Muslims do not make body contacts with women yet hug is generally accepted among men. Same thing happens on eye contact. In many countries, people avoid direct eye contact to show respect. This can cause misunderstanding, too. In fact, some Asian students have been regar
48、ded as lacking respect for their American teachers exactly because they failed to make eye contacts with their teachers. Though different cultures seem to have different ways of greeting, smiling is taken as the universal gesture of friendliness. Smiling indicates happiness or agreement (同意 ) and it
49、 can also be used to mean “Excuse me“ or “Please“. So when you are not sure what to do, just smile. 64 When two Japanese men meet, they might greet each other by _. （ A） shaking each other （ B） hugging each other （ C） kissing each other on both cheeks （ D） bowing their heads 65 If an American makes an “OK“ gesture to a Japanese, t
