Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 Before the conference began, a Japanese businessman was introduced to an American businessman at the

10、 lounge. The Japanese businessman, arms extending downwards from his shoulders, bowed from his waist toward the American businessman to whom he was just introduced. His eyes were directed ahead, his face showed no particular expression.The American businessman stood straight. His eyes focused on the

11、 Japanese mans eyes. He smiled and put out his right hand.Both men smiled briefly in embarrassment. The Japanese man straightened up and put out his right hand. The American withdrew his hand and bowed his head. A broader smile of embarrassment, and some noise from each mannot really words, just som

12、e sounds from their throatsindicating discomfort. They were in the course of a conflict of customs; they had different habits for greeting people they were being introduced to.When people are planning to go to another country, they expect to encounter certain kinds of differences. They usually expec

13、t the weather and the food to be different. They expect to find differences in some of the material aspects of life, such as the availability of cars, electricity, and home heating systems. And, without knowing the details, they expect differences in customs. Customs are the behaviors that are gener

14、ally expected in specific situations. American men, for example, shake hands with each other when first introduced while Japanese men bow. 21 When introduced to the Japanese businessman, the American businessman put out his right hand because _.（A）he felt a little bit nervous（B） he wanted to express

15、 his discomfort（C） he felt a little offended by the Japanese man（D）he wanted to shake hands with the Japanese man 22 The two businessmen behaved differently because_.（A）they followed their own greeting customs（B） they were not used to the strange atmosphere（C） they couldnt speak each others language

17、ple expect the same kind of food and weather 24 This passage is mainly about _.（A）cultural invasion（B） the understanding of customs（C） business talks（D）differences in handshakes 24 Mr. Leonard, the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, is a man of many solutio

18、ns, many of them creative, many of them, apparently, also effective. In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years. At Bedford Academy, 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch, a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another signif

19、icant number are being raised by someone other than a parent. Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate, and actually, every one of those goes on to college.Mr. Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school. Of the students arriving with lower test

20、 scores, Mr. Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades, or even the best behavior. Hes looking for the ones who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect, and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course.The Bedford Academy High Scho

21、ol is famous for its autonomy. For Mr. Leonard, autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes tile summer before they enroll. Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any student who “disrespects a female,“ said Mr. Leonard.

22、It means requiring struggling students, in the weeks before the Regents exams, to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a. m. until 9 p. m. It means the most senior, experienced teachers, including Mr. Leonard, teach not the schools academic jewels, but the most struggling students.And autonom

23、y also means the schools teachers administer almost no homework. Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material. 25 In Mr. Leonards school, most of the students who dont have to pay for lunch _.（A）are ado

24、pted children（B） are parentless（C） are homeless（D）have a single parent 26 What can be a good indication of the Bedford Schools success?（A）63 percent of its students go on to college.（B） A high percentage of students enjoy free lunch.（C） All the graduates from the school go on to college.（D）The numbe

25、r of its graduates is twice that of New York High School. 27 What does Mr. Leonard expect from those low-testing students?（A）The highest scores.（B） The best behaviour.（C） Respectfulness and discipline.（D）Willingness to learn by themselves. 28 The school insists that students should _.（A）leave the sc

26、hool if they fail to respect a woman（B） attend the preparatory classes in the summer before enrolling（C） do their homework to review what they have learned（D）come to the school on Sundays 28 People joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes to the movies. The m

27、ost popular reading material is comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes have. But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is flourishing year after year. People wait haft an hour for a parking space

28、to become available.This outdoor festival, sponsored by a newspaper, occurs every April for one weekend. This years attendance was estimated at 70,000 on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. The festival consisted of 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an audience question-and

29、-answer period following each talk. Autograph(亲笔签名)seekers sought out more than 150 authors. A food court sold all kinds of popular food and diverse foreign foods, from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks. Except for a $ 7 parking fee, the festival was free. Even so, some people avoided

30、 the food court prices by staying away and having their own sandwiches and drinks.People came from all over California. One couple drove down from San Francisco. “This is our sixth year here now. We love it, “said the husband. “Its just fantastic to be in the great outdoors, to be among so many book

31、s and authors, and to get some very good deals, too.“ The idea for the festival occurred years ago, but nobody knew if it would succeed. Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities, would Los Angeles residents welcome one? “The citizens of the city are very unpredictable, “said o

32、ne of the festival founders. 29 The underlined sentence in the first paragraph implies that _.（A）city libraries have a very limited number of readers（B） only a small proportion of the readers go to libraries by car（C） city libraries provide fewer places for car washes（D）city libraries have fewer par

33、king places 30 The outdoor book festival attracts _.（A）autograph seekers and authors only（B） people with different interests（C） people who love Los Angeles（D）people who like cooking 31 At the very beginning, people were _ about the idea for the book festival in Los Angeles.（A）confident（B） pessimisti

34、c（C） uncertain（D）indifferent 32 The success of Los Angeles book festival shows that _.（A）book reading is still popular in Los Angeles（B） Los Angeles people prefer library to book festival（C） people attend the book festivals for fun not for reading（D）libraries should have food courts to attract more

35、readers 32 Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves (坚持已见). Dr. Robert Alberti, author of Stand Up, Speak Ou

36、t, and Talk Back, thinks its because of their lack of confidence. “Our structure of organization tends to make people distrust themselves,“ says Alberti. “Theres always a superior arounda parent, a teacher, a bosswho knows better. These superiors often gain when they keep breaking at your self-image

37、.“But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves. They offer “assertiveness training“ coursesAT for short. In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive w

38、ithout hurting people.In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motivethe need to share. The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.Whether or not you sp

39、eak up for yourself depends on your self-image. If someone you face is more “important“ than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your own good sense. You go by the other persons label. But, why should you? AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can l

40、earn to speak out. 33 People are reluctant to talk back because _.（A）they have a poor self-image（B） they have not received AT courses（C） they have not grasped communication skills（D）they are not generous enough to share things 34 According to Dr. Alberti, our organization is constructed to _.（A）get

41、people to trust their own solutions to problems（B） keep people as knowledgeable as their “superiors“（C） train peoples capacity to speak up for their rights（D）make things more favorable for “superiors“ 35 One of the objectives of AT courses is to _.（A）train people to trust others（B） encourage people

42、to share their thoughts（C） tell people of their right to be “superiors“（D）help people overcome their fear of asserting themselves 36 Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?（A）Protect Yourself（B） Try to Speak Out（C） Share Your Opinion（D）Face Your Superior 36 A wind tunnel is u

43、sed for testing planes or plane models. In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane or a model placed in a test section. Wind tunnel test sections are different in size depending on airflow speed requirements. Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a complete small plane. In the v

44、ery high speed tunnels used for space testing, however, the model may be as small as a pencil.There are two ways of feeding air to the test section. In the constant flow tunnel, airflow produced by electric fans is forced through the tunnel to the test section, then through another tunnel section ba

45、ck to the starting point for reuse. The other way involves storing high-pressure air in a box, sending it out by a controlling device to pass through the tunnel and test section into another box. This way is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow.Wind tunnels are usually used to

46、test planes before they are flown. Problems in a plane can be found when it meets the high-speed airflow in the tunnel. For example, if the wings are built so that they would weaken at high speeds, this fact can be discovered in the tunnel, thus saving many lives and millions of dollars.In a wind tu

47、nnel, scientists also find out how different planes will act at different speeds. They find out such things as how the air dives by the wing surfaces, how slowly a plane can fly before it starts to drop, and how fast it can climb. 37 Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others because _.（A）they

48、 are used for large planes（B） they can produce a stronger wind（C） they are built to conduct a high-speed test（D）the air in them flows at a lower speed 38 The underlined words “this fact“ in Paragraph 3 refer to the fact that _.（A）it costs a lot to test a plane（B） the wings are not good enough（C） som

49、e problems are found with a plane（D）the wings meet the high-speed air flow in the tunnel 39 As mentioned in the last paragraph, a wind tunnel can be used to find out _.（A）how fast a plane can rise（B） how smooth a planes surface is（C） how a plane lands in a strong wind（D）how a plane drops at a low height 40 What can we learn from the passage?（A）It is very expensive to build a win
