25、ian tribe had a different language. Many Indians never learned any language except their own. Do you know how Indians from different tribes talked to each other? They had two ways to talk without sound. One way was by sign language; another way by signals. Sign language is a way of talking by using
26、signs. Indians used sign language when they met strangers. In this way, they could find out whether the stranger was a friend or an enemy. In Indian sign language, signs were made with the hands. One sign meant “man”. Another meant “horse”. To tell the time of day when something happened, an Indian
27、pointed to the sky. He showed where the sun had been at the time. Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away. To make signals, an Indian might use a pony(小马). He might use a blanket. Or he might use smoke, a mirror or fire arrows.To signal that he had seen man
28、y animals, an Indian rode his pony in a large circle. Sometimes the Indian gave a signal like this and then went away to hide. This meant that there was danger. The blanket signal was visible from far away. An Indian held the corners of a blanket in his hands. Then he began to swing the blanket from
29、 side to side in front of him. An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket. He could also send many signals with a mirror. He usually used the mirror to warn someone of danger. Of course, mirrors could be used only when the sun was shining. At night, Indians used fire arrows for sig
30、naling. Now you can see that Indians didnt need to learn each others language. They could talk to one another by using signals or sign language. 1. The story tells about _.A. people living in IndianB. the Indians who had many kinds of languagesC. the Indians who didnt use their languagesD. how India
31、ns communicated between different tribes2. Sign language is _.A. a language only for IndiansB. a way to express ones ideas by making gesturesC. a way of talking by signing on paperD. a secret way of talking to strangers3. Which of the following is true?A. When an Indian wanted to say “man”, he point
32、ed to himself. B. When an Indian wanted to say “horse”, he rode his horse. C. When an Indian wanted to say “sun”, he pointed to the sky. D. Indians used sign language to find out whether a stranger was a friend or an enemy. 4. Blanket signals _.A. could be seen at nightB. could be seen from far away
33、C. were used only for warningD. were considered the best way of sending messages5.

34、Why do people wear uniforms? Athletes distinguish themselves with team colors and special emblems(标志). Often, doctors, dentists, and nurses wear white to depict cleanliness. Hard hats and steel-toed boots protect construction workers from accidents with heavy equipment. Even the American cowboy of t
35、he late 1800s wore a type of uniform; clothing that was practical and able to meet the demands of his tough job.One of the most important accessories(装备) in the cowboys wardrobe was his wide-brimmed hat. It kept him cool in the hot sun. His hat also came in handy when shooting away flies and other i
36、nsects, fanning fires, and dipping into water for a cool drink. Most cowboys wore their hats at all times: indoors, at the dinner table, while they danced, and even to bed. It became a symbol of the cowboys life. The most expensive items in a cowboys “uniform” were his boots. They were essential for
37、 safe riding. The tapered shape of the boot prevented the cowboys foot from getting stuck if he fell from his horse. The high heel kept the cowboys foot from slipping in the stirrup while he was riding. Because of the costliness of these essential items, the cowboy chose to ride, walk, and even slee
38、p in his boots. Fastened to the back of each boot were spurs, devices used to jab a horse to urge it to go faster. Spurs were not intended to injure a horse. In fact, good riders filed them down for the safety of both horse and rider. A cowboys life was filled with hard work, adventure, and danger.
39、His uniform helped him to do his job well.1. How many types of people are mentioned in the first paragraph of the passage?A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.2.

41、eriencing a downswing in ridership（客运量）along the lines comprising its rail system. Of major concern to Amtrak and its advertising agency DDB Needham, were the long-distance western routes where ridership had been declining（下降）significantly. At one time, trains were the only practical way to cross th
42、e vast areas of the west. Trains were fast, very luxurious, and quite convenient compared to other forms of transportation existing at the time. However, times change and the automobile became Americas standard of convenience. Also, air travel had easily established itself as the fastest method of t
43、raveling great distances. Therefore, the task for DDS Needham was to encourage consumers to consider other aspects of train travel in order to change their attitudes and increase the likelihood that trains would be considered for travel in the west. Two portions（部分）of the total market were targeted:
44、 1）anxious fliers-those concerned with safety, relaxation, and cleanliness and 2）travel-lovers-those viewing themselves as relaxed, casual, and interested in the travel experience as part of their vacation. The agency then developed a campaign that focused on travel experiences such as freedom, esca
45、pe, relaxation, and enjoyment of the great western outdoors. It stressed experiences gained by using the trains and portrayed（描述）western train trips as wonderful adventures. Advertisements showed pictures of the beautiful scenery that could be enjoyed along some of the more famous western routes and
46、 emphasized the romantic names of some of the trains （Empire Builder, etc）. These ads were strategically placed among family-oriented TV shows and programs involving nature and America in order to most effectively reach target audiences. Results were impressive. The Empire Builder, which was focused
47、 on in one ad, enjoyed a 15% increase in profits（利润） on its Chicago to Seattle route. 1. Whats the authors purpose in writing this passage?A. To show the inability of trains to compete with planes with respect to speed and convenience.B. To stress the influence of the automobile on Americas standard
48、 of convenience. C. To emphasize the function of travel agencies in market promotion. (提升)D. To illustrate (说明) the important role of persuasive communication in changing consumer attitudes. 2. It can be inferred from the passage that the drop in Amtrak ridership was due to the fact that_. A. trains
49、 were not suitable for short distance passenger transportationB. trains were not the fastest and most convenient form of transportationC. trains were not as fast and convenient as they used to beD. trains could not compete with planes in terms of luxury and convenience3. To encourage consumers to tr
50、avel by train, DDB Needham emphasized_.A. the freedom and convenience provided on trainsB. the practical parts of train travelC. the adventurous parts of train tripsD. the safety and cleanliness of train trips4. The train ads were placed among family-oriented TV programs involving nature and America
51、 because_.A. they could focus on meaningful travel experiencesB. they could increase effectiveness of the TV programsC. their profits could be increased by some 15%D. most travel-lovers and nervous fliers were believed to be among the audiencesV. 写作训练假如你叫王林，你的美国朋友Kitty读报时看到一则关于 Developing Central an
