12、le her father, Richard, is English. She started talking and communicating in all three languages before she lost her sight but adapted quickly to her blindness. By the age of four, she was reading and writing in Braille(盲文). When she was six, Alexia began to learn Chinese. The girl is now learning G

Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car
18、 before starting a trip. But for many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the number of people who didnt have breakfast
19、increased by 33%from 8.8 million to 11.7 millionaccording to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America. For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years have shown that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong wit
20、h omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect work,“ said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “ nor does giving people breakfast improve work. “ Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly in
21、adequate(不充分的 ),and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. “The literature,“ says one researcher, Dr. Earnest Polite at the University of Texas, “is poor.“25 Which of these is mentioned in the second paragraph?（A）The number of the people who skip breakfast has increased.（B） Many peop
22、le fill their cars with gasoline in the morning.（C） 8. 8 million people got involved in a study on eating habits.（D）A company carried out a research in 1983.26 Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part?（A）Having breakfast does not improve work, either.（B） Giving people breakfast improves wo

25、t.28 When you stretch out in the sun you can do one of the three things: you can use no sun tan oil, an ordinary sun tan oil; or Bergasol.If you dont use any sun tan oil when youre in the sun, you will burn surprisingly quickly. If you use an ordinary sun tan oil, you will protect your skin to a les
26、ser or greater degree. How much protection depends on the “protection-factor number“ on the bottle. Some oils block out so many of the suns rays and you can stay in the sun all day without burning but you wont go very brown, either.Bergasol will protect your skin like an ordinary sun tan oil. It als
27、o has a tan accelerator that speeds up the rate at which the sun activates the skin cells that produce melanin (黑色素). It is melanin that gives the skin its brown colour. Bergasol enables you to go brown faster, and as the days pass the difference will become more obvious.Unfortunately, this special
28、formulation isnt cheap to prepare. So Bergasol is rather more expensive than ordinary sun tan oil. However, the price looks more attractive as you do.BergasolIt makes you go brown fasterProtectionMany people imagine that “cover-up“ means you dont get a tan. Nothing to show for your holiday.Not so. W
29、ith “cover-up“, you can get brown if you want to. The point of “cover-up“ is to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun which, according to the experts ,make your skin look older.Thats what Solex Cover-up is all about protection for your skin. It has a Sun Protection Factor 8, which makes
30、 it suitable for anyone. Find out how it works for you by consulting the Solex Sun Chart. On sale -wherever Solex is.With Solex Cover-up, you can tan as slowly as you like. As gently as you like.

Some societies,
34、 such as America and Australia, for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move house quite often. As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So its normal to have friendly conversations with p
35、eople that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.On the other hand, there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example, will want to get to kno
36、w you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile s
37、ociety puts it, its no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you dont want to answer.Cross-cultural differences arent just a problem for travelers, but also for people in daily life. Some societies have
38、“universalist“ cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. “ Particularist“ (强调特性的) societies also have rules, but they are less important than the societys unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situat
39、ion or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person. 33 What can be learned from Paragraph 1?（A）People from a mobile society dislike talking about personal affairs.（B） Short-term relationships are common in a mobile society.（C
40、） Americans tend to make more friends than people from other cultures.（D）It is difficult for Americans and Australians to communicate with strangers.34 Who do Malaysians prefer to start business with according to the passage?（A）Those who talk a lot about themselves.（B） Those who they know well enoug
41、h.（C） Those who enjoy talking with strangers.（D）Those who want to do business with them.35 Which of the following is true about the rules in “particularist“ societies?（A）They change to fit different situations.（B） People respect and obey them completely.（C） They dont exist.（D）No one obeys them.36 Wh
42、at is the main idea of this passage?（A）Polite behaviour varies with different cultures.（B） Less mobile societies have fewer rules.（C） People from mobile societies are more polite.（D）Cultural differences are important.36 Claude-Oscar Monet (1840 1926) was a French artist and a leading member of the I
43、mpressionist group of painters. Born in Paris, Monet spent his childhood in Le Havre. There he met a local artist, Eugene Boudin, who encouraged him to become a landscape painter.In 1859, Monet went to Paris to study at the Academie Suisse. Between 1860 and 1862, Monet served in the army in Algeria
44、(阿尔及利亚). He returned to Paris where he met most of the major artists of the era.In 1870, Monet married Camille Doncieux. To escape the Franco-Prussian war, they moved to Londoa Back to France, they settled at Argenteuil, a boating centre on the Seine ( 塞纳河) which drew many other Impressionist painte
45、rs. Working from nature was a particular symbol of the Impressionist movement, and one that Monet valued, reflecting in his paintings the ever-changing impact of light and weather conditions.In 1872, he visited Le Havre where he painted “An Impression, Sunrise“. When exhibited in 1874, part of its t
46、itle was used by a critic to label the whole movement “Impressionism“.Monets wife died in 1879, and he set up home with Alice Hoschede, the wife of one of his most important sponsors. During the 1880s, Monet traveled through France painting a variety of landscapes. He gradually became better known a
47、nd for the last 30 years of his life he was regarded as the greatest of the Impressionists.From 1890 he began to paint a series (系列) of pictures of one subject, including “Haystacks“ “Rouen Cathedral“ and “Waterlilies“. The latter were painted in the fine garden Monet created at his house at Giverny
