Americans mention it often:"Let's get right to the point." They will say, "My point is…" "What's the point of all this?" 　　      The "point" is the idea or piece of information that Americans suppose is, or should be, at the center of people's thinking, writings, and spoken comments. Speakers and writers are supposed to "make their points clear", meaning that they are ‎ supposed to say or write clearly the idea or piece of information they wish to express. 　　      People from many other cultures have different ideas about the point. Africans traditionally tell stories that express the thoughts they have in mind, rather than stating the point clearly. Japanese traditionally speak indirectly, leaving the listener to figure out what the point is. Thus, while an American might say to a friend, "I don't think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit," a Japanese might say, "Maybe another coat would look even better than the one you have on." Americans value a person who "gets right to the point". Japanese are likely to consider such a person insensitive if not rude. 　　 The Chinese and Japanese languages are characterized by vagueness and ambiguity. The precision and directness Americans associate with "the point" cannot be achieved, at least not with any grace, in Chinese and Japanese. Speakers of those languages thus have to learn a new way of reasoning and expressing their ideas if they are going to communicate satisfactorily with Americans.‎ ‎21. According to the passage, Americans expect speakers and writers to _____. 　‎ A. express their personal views 　　 B. be clear about their main ideas 　　 C. be honest about their true feelings 　　 D. give as much information as possible ‎22. Which of the following peoples will tell a story to express what they have in mind? 　　‎ A. Americans.　　　　 B. Chinese. 　　 C. Japanese.　　　　  D. Africans.‎ ‎23. In order to communicate with Americans satisfactorily, speakers of Chinese need to _____. 　‎ A. mind their manners 　　 B. explain their reasons clearly 　 C. change their ways of expressing ideas 　　 D. be careful about their choices of words B ‎ Modeled after US hot website Groupon.com, group buying websites are now popular in China. These websites use the power of group buying to get competitive discount(打折)for a daily deal on some best stuff to do, see, eat and buy in the cities across China. Discounts(打折)are available within just one click. Zhao lei, a software engineer in Beijing, loves the one-hour lunch break at noon as it is the best time for him to check “today’s special” at his favorite group buying websites. Sometimes he searches for great deals at directory sites devoted to the new shopping space. Zhao spends around 800 yuan($117.65)on group buying every month, mostly to buy food coupons(优惠劵)for eating at some nice restaurants and occasionally(偶尔的)to find something fun to do.“ I love group buying. In addition to the competitive discounts it ‎ offers, it helps me get something fun, exciting and new, and such surprises give me a reason to try something new,” he said. When he finds a really good bargain, he will send the link to friends or colleagues through MSN,QQ, or e-mail, or share the information at some social networking websites. In doing so, he often gets a certain cut off the price. At some sites, buyers are invited to leave notes about what they want to buy and the website will consider it if similar application(申请)reach a certain number. That is how Zhao got her digital camera after waiting for two months. “It is cool. I want to buy a new digital camera for my trip to Switzerland this winter, but I never expected such cheap prices!” Zhao said.‎ ‎24．We can learn from the passage that________．‎ A. China is the first country to start group buying B. the price of group buying depends on the market C. you can’t get the best you need through group buying D. group buying is becoming popular in China ‎25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. Zhao Lei has to spend about 800 yuan on group buying per month.‎ B. Zhao Lei never surfs at other directory sites for group buying.‎ C. Zhao Lei finds it easy to do group buying.‎ D. Zhao Lei can’t buy food coupons to eat at a nice restaurant.‎ ‎26. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. Zhao Lei`s online purchasing life.‎ B. Group buying C. The US hot websites ‎ D. A new digital camera ‎27. Zhao Lei succeeded in getting a certain cut off the price by__________．‎ A. bargaining face to face B. discussing with the sellers C. providing the link to others D. inviting others to talk about the price C ‎ A biologist from the National Park Service discovered a rare and unusual mammoth(猛犸) skull(颅骨) buried in a 13,000-year-old rock layer on the Santa Rosa Island, the second largest landmass in the Channel Islands, California. The fossil of the extinct giant animal is leaving many paleontologists(古生物学家) scratching their heads. Despite the fact that it’s possibly the best preserved mammoth skull ever found and of high scientific importance, the species of the individual it belonged to can’t seem to be identified yet—it’s too big to be a pygmy(特别矮小的) mammoth and too small to have come from a Columbian mammoth. Some say it’s a new species while others believe the truth lies somewhere in between.‎ ‎ The first mammoths showed up in North America around two million years ago, but it was only during the last two ice ages that the Columbian species, which could grow to be up to 14 feet tall, made its way to the Channel Islands 100 miles west of ‎ Los Angeles. Once the ice melted, many populations became trapped on the island and evolved into pygmy mammoths, an endemic species(地方种) to the Channel Islands which grew only to six feet tall.‎ ‎ Judging from its size, the newly found mammoth skull doesn’t seem to fit any of the two species, Columbian or pygmy. To make things even more confusing, one of its two tusks(象牙) is nearly five feet long and coiled in a manner that resembles those of fully grown mammoths but the left tusk is shorter and sloped, more like a juvenile(青少年).‎ ‎ This has caused some scientists to say the Santa Rose skull may belong to a transitional species. Whatever’s the case, a following examination of the mammoth’s teeth should put the matter to rest. The analysis will also tell us how old the mammoth was when it died, so we can tell for sure whether it was an adult or juvenile.‎ ‎ More interesting than the mammoth’s lineage, however, might be its story. The giant mammal lived 13,000 years ago or roughly the same timeline of the “Arlington Man”, a 13,000-year-old human skeleton also found on Santa Rosa. Some 3,000 years later humans were already spread throughout the continent and the Channel Islands’ mammoth went extinct. The present finding might help reveal a link between the two.‎ ‎ The remains also seem to confirm a long-held assumption that there were two mammoth migrations to the Channel Islands. “The discovery of this mammoth skull increases the probability that there were at least two migrations of Columbian mammoths to the island: during the most recent ice age 10,000 to 30,000 years ago, as well as the previous ice age that occurred about 150,000 years ago,” said USGS geologist Dan Muhs.‎ ‎28. The underlined part in the first paragraph means the paleontologists feel _________.‎ A. excited B. confused C. anxious D. frustrated ‎29. Which of the following is not among the reasons why the newly found skull is special?‎ A. It is possibly the best preserved mammoth skulls.‎ B. Its size fits neither the Columbian mammoth nor the pygmy mammoth.‎ C. It was found on the Santa Rose Island, Califoria.‎ D. Its two tusks give out different information of the mammoth’s age.‎ ‎30. What can be inferred from the last three paragraphs?‎ A. The examination of the mammoth’s teeth can tell us how old it was when it died.‎ B. There may be a link between the extinction of mammoths and the spread of humans.‎ C. At least two mammoth groups migrated to the Channel Islands during different periods of time.‎ D. There remains no final conclusion as to how many mammoth groups migrated to the Islands.‎ ‎31. This passage mainly tells us the newly found mammoth skull _________.‎ A. is among the best preserved, but with a mysterious story B. has aroused a debate over what species it belongs to C. is of great scientific importance to mankind D. is likely to confirm a former assumption D ‎ Dr. Michael Prager, a leading Botox expert, said that a growing number of women are developing something called “computer face”. He also said that professionals who worked long hours in front of a screen were ending up with saggy jowls(颚骨),“turkey neck” and deep-set wrinkles on their forehead and around their eyes. ‎ ‎ The Botox expert said that, of all his clients, office workers were most likely to show premature （过早的）signs(迹象) of aging. “ If you are one of the unfortunate people who frown（皱眉）while you are concentrating on the screen then, over time, you will end up with frown lines.’’ Dr. Prager said. “What is perhaps more surprising is the number of women with saggy jowls because they are sitting in one position for so long. If you spend most of the time looking down then the neck muscles shorten and go saggy, eventually giving you a second neck.”‎ ‎ Dr. Prager, who has a practice near Harley Street in London, said he encourages his clients to put a mirror next to their computer so they can see if they are frowning at the screen. “When people are stressed or thinking hard about something, then they will often put on a ‘grumpy face’ without even knowing what they are doing. When my clients put a mirror next to their desk, they are often surprised by the angry, frowning face which stares back at them.”‎ ‎ He said, “The women I am seeing at the moment have only been using computers at work for the last decade or so. But women in their 20s have grown up with them and use them for every single task. I think the problem is going to become much, much worse. In another ten years, they could be looking quite awful.”‎ ‎ Dr. Prager said there were several simple steps which could avoid “computer face” such as regular screen breaks and stretching the neck muscles. And, of course, there was always Botox. He said that , after a couple of sessions of Botox, the habit of “grumpy face” could be broken.‎ ‎32. According to the passage, what makes women develop a “computer face”?‎ A. Frowning every now and then B. Concentrating on computers frequently C. Working too long in front of a screen D. Sitting in the same place for along time ‎33. According to the passage, which of the following are signs of aging?‎ A. Saggy jowls and short necks B. Turkey neck and frown lines C. Deep-set wrinkles and angry faces D. Second neck and stressed muscles ‎34. The underlined word “grumpy”in Paragraph3 probably means?‎ A. happy B. surprised C. angry D. relaxed ‎35. From the last 2 paragraphs, we can know that_____‎ A. “computer face” is avoidable B. we should give up using computers C. we should break the habit of “grumpy face” ‎ D. the younger generation is worse at computers 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Memorize Things Quicker Than Other People？‎ The following is my advice for you.‎ Step 1: Preparation ‎ 36 For most people, this means choosing an area with few distractions, though some people do advance greatly by learning in public areas. Figure out what is most beneficial to your learning so that you can get started.‎ Step 2: Record what you’re memorizing This is especially useful if you’re trying to memorize information from a lecture. Use a tape recorder to track all of the acquired facts being spoken and listen to it. 37 . Obviously, this is most helpful for auditory(听觉的) learners, and it’s also useful because it ensures that you’re getting more context from a lecture that will help you learn the information faster.‎ Step 3: Write everything down Before you start trying to recall everything from memory, write and re-write the information. This will help you become more familiar with what you’re trying to memorize. 38 .This is most useful for experiential learners.‎ Step 4: 39 ． ‎ Now that you have everything written down in one set of notes, separate them into sections. This is ideal for visual learners, especially if you use color coding to distinguish between subjects. ___ 40 ． ‎ A. Separate your notes.‎ B. If you’re trying to memorize a speech, record your reading of the speech and listen to the record.‎ C. Doing this while listening to your tape recorder can also help you keep a lot of the data.‎ D. To memorize, first you should choose an area.‎ E. Section your notes.‎ F. This will help you break everything down and start classing the information being recorded in your brain.‎ G.
