      A

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signals(信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.

Different cultures emphasize(强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.

 Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.

 Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.

 People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment(多元文化环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other,

46. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to ______.

A. develop closer relations    B. share the same culture

C. get to know each other     D. keep each other company

47. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that_________.

A. the English prefer to make long speeches

B. too many words are of no use

C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by name

D. even talk and silence can be culturally different

48. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?

A. By sharing different ways of life   B. By accepting different babits

C. By recognizing different values    D. By speaking each other’s languages

49. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Multicultural Environment   B. Cross-Cultural Differences

    Weather changes when the temperature and the amount of water in the atmosphere changes. We can see and

feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. But the water must somehow get back to the

atmosphere. Meteorologists call this the water cycle.

There are many stages in the water cycle. Rain falls when water vapor in clouds condenses(凝结). Drops of water form and fall to the ground. The water soaks into the ground and feeds steams and rivers. A lot of rain falls into the sea. The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers, lakes, and the sea. It changes the liquid water into water vapor. The vapor rises onto the air. Water vapor is normally invisible. On a very damp or humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapor rising from a puddle(水坑) or pond in a mist(薄雾)above the water. Water vapor also gets into the air from living things. Trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapor from their leaves. People and land animals drink water and breathe out water vapor. In all these ways the water returns to the air. There it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain. The rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. It continues even if snow or hail(冰雹) fall instead because both eventually melt to form water. The amount of water vapor in the air depends on the temperature. The air is more moist(潮湿)in the tropics(热带) than in the cold polar regions.

50. What is the main idea of the passage?

  A. Water cycle      B/ Water vapor   C. How rain forms   D. Water ,vapor, rain

51. How many ways of the water returning to the air are discussed in the text?

  A. Two   B. Three   C. Four    D. Five

52. Whether water vapor can be seen or not depends on _______.

  A. how much water is evaporated    B. how good your eyes are

  C. in which way water is evaporated   D. climate or weather

53. From the passage we get to know___________.

  A. there is more water vapor in the air in the tropics than in cold polar regions

  B. there is more water vapor in the air in cold polar region than in the tropics

  C. it gets more rain in the tropics than in cold polar regions because there is less vapor

  D. the amount of water vapor in the air depends on how often it rains

第四部分 书面表达

第一节  阅读表达（共5 小题；每小题 2分, 满分10分）

 阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）

Scientists have developed a new cancer drug. So far, they have tested it only in laboratory animals. The drug

is designed to enter and kill cancer cells, but not healthy cells.

    First, the drug enters the cancer cells and stops their supply of blood. Then it releases poison to destroy the

cancer cells.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) in Cambridge carried out the study. The results appeared in Nature magazine. A school report called the drug an “anticancer smart bomb”.

Ram Sasisekharan is a professor at MIT. He says that his team had to solve three problems. They had to find a way to destroy the blood vessels, then to prevent the growth of new ones. But they also needed the blood vessels to supply chemicals to _________.

So, the researchers designed a two-part “nanocell”. The cell is measured in nanometers(毫微米), or one thousand millionth of a meter.

The scientists say thay that it was small enough to pass through the blood vessels of the cancer, but it was too big to enter normal blood vessels. The surface of the nanocells also helped them to avoid natural defenses.

The scientists designed the cell as a balloon inside a balloon. They filled the outer part with a drug that caused the blood vessels to die. That cut off the blood supply and put the nanocells inside the cancer. Then, the nanocells slowly released drugs to kill the cancer cells.

The team says that the treatment killed the cancer and avoided healthy cells better than other treatments. Untreated mice with cancer survived for twenty days. The scientists say that mice with the best current treatments lived for thirty days. In this study, they say that eighty percent of the mice treated with the nanocells lived more than sixty-five days.

The scientists say that more studies are needed before the new drug can be tested in humans.

54. What’s the best title of the passage? (please answer within 10 words.)

  ________________________________________________________________________

55. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

   Scientists haven’t tested the drug on humans, and only in lab.

   ____________________________________________________________________________

56. Please fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentences. ( please answer within 10 words.)

   ___________________________________________________________________________

57. Do you think cancer can be cured in the future? Why? (please answer within 30 words.)

58. Please translate the underlined sentence in the eighth paragraph into Chinese.

A possible version:

What will life be like without animals

　　Animals are close friends of human beings. Their existence, especially the existence of rare animals makes the whole world lively and colorful. Unfortunately, we heard such news recently that rare animals, even kept in the zoo, couldn't escape being hurt and killed, at which we can feel nothing but shocked. The reason why it happened is that some people lack understanding about these animals and caring for them.

　　Therefore, we should study and publicize the information about rare animals, and keep it in mind that

protecting animals is the duty of everyone. At the same time, we should take active and effective measures. After

all, protecting animals is protecting ourselves. （115 words）
