Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral s
27、peech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words and ideas. Tourists and the people unable to hear or speak have had to use this form of expressions. Many of these symbols of whole words are very vivid and exact an
28、d can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.Body language transmits ideas of thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of indicating that the part is only a joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking head indicates a negative reaction
29、.Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse Code, and smoke signals, Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While language is the most common form of communication, other systems an
30、d techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.（分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following statements best summarizes this passage?A. When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication.B. Everybody uses only one form of communication.C. Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to f

34、laces in Cuban Miami is a restaurant called Versailles, which also has lots of mirrors on its walls. It has been on Eighth Sweet and Thirty-Fifth Avenue for many years and shares the same name with the famous French palace. One goes to the Versailles not only to be seen, but to be multiplied (复制). T
35、his old, cheap, noisy restaurant that serves basic Cuban food is wonderful for the self-absorbed: people who like themselves very much. Because of the bright light, even the windows reflect (反射), the Versailles is a place where you can lunch, but you cant hide.For years I have had the idea that thos
36、e mirrors keep the blurred image (模糊影像) of every- one who has walked past before them. I think the mirrors have a memory. Every Cuban who has lived or set foot in Miami over the last 30 years has, at one time or another, seen himself or herself reflected on those shiny surfaces. Miami is a Cuban cit
37、y not only because of the number of Cubans who live there but also because of the number who have died there. The Versailles is a shiny place where dead people are buried. The history of Little Havana is written on those walls. This may have been why, when the mirrors came down in 1991, there was su
38、ch anger against it that some of them had to be put back. The Hall of Mirrors is also a house of spirits.（分数：4.00）(1).What is most special about Versailles according to the writer?A. The blurred images reflected on the windows.B. The number of French customers.C. The expensive Cuban food.D. The wall
39、s of mirrors.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What people are “self-absorbed“ ( line 6, para. 1 ) according to the writer?A. Those who want to meet other Cubans.B. Those who are interested in themselves.C. Those who like to lunch in noisy restaurants.D. Those who are brave enough to face themselves.（分数：1.00）A.B
40、.C.D.(3).What happened to the restaurant in 1991?A. More mirrors were added.B. Some of its old customers died.C. Fewer people went to the restaurant.D. Some mirrors were taken off the walls.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What can we infer from the text?A. The restaurant reflects Cubans life in Miami.B. The re
41、staurant is one of the cheapest in Miami.C. The restaurant often holds picture exhibitions.D. The Cubans are unwilling to accept any changes.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.CYou want to know where the safest place for young children is in the car? Experts all say the back seat is the safest place for a child of an
42、y age. In the back seat, the child is farthest away from the force or effect of a head-on collision (迎头撞击) , which can cause the most injuries. Just as important, the child in the back seat is removed from the passenger airbag, if there is any. If your child is under eight years of age and weighs mo
43、re than 80 pounds, it is necessary to fit your car with a special child-safety seat.The child-safety seat comes in three types or sizes: The first type is designed for babies from birth to one year of age, until the baby weighs about 20 pounds; the second size is for children between one and four ye
44、ars of age, who weigh between 20 and 40 pounds; the third kind is used by older children big enough to use the cars belt system. Moreover, all these safety seats must be fitted and held in place on the cars back seat. If your child does need your attention while. you are driving, dont look back with
45、 only one hand on the wheel. Just pull over.（分数：3.00）(1).This text mainly discusses _.A. how a child-safety seat can protect a childB. why the back seat is the safest place in a carC. how a child can be kept safe while riding m a carD. what causes passengers the most injuries（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Thi

47、unds（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.Samuel H. Preston, a sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania, studied how the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the average American couple reaches 40 years of age, they have more parents than children. This finding shows the change in lifestyles (生
48、活方式) and duties of aging Americans. The average middle-aged couple can look forward to caring for elderly parents some time after their own children have grown up.Because Americans are living longer than ever, more researchers and social workers have begun to study care giving to improve care of the
49、 elderly. When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use community (社区) services, such as adult (成人) daycare centres. If the care givers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other business. However, the wife of an elderly person is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discovered that the reason for this difference was fe
