23、d then stopped at a convenience store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to g
24、o for a ride on my motorbike with me?” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.” He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-
25、stop about what she wanted for Christmas.As we came back to the convenience store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didnt know I could do this.” I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world
26、 by myself, etc.). As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, Im going to be OK.

The motorbike. B. The wheelchair. C. The blessing. D. The ride.CHere is an astonishing and significant fact:
31、 Mental work alone cant make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, show
32、s no fatigue at all. If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well
33、 and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional(情感的) attitudes. One of Englands most outstanding scientists, J.A. Hadfield,
34、says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional pro
35、blems.”What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciatedthose are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotion
36、s produce nervousness in the body.39. What surprised the scientists a few years ago?A. A mental workers blood was filled with fatigue toxins. B. Albert Einstein didnt feel worn out after a days work.C. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborers blood. D. The brain could work for many hours w
37、ithout fatigue.40. According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?A. Challenging mental work. B. Endless tasks. C. Physical labor. D. Unpleasant emotions.41. Whats the authors attitude towards the scientists ideas?A. He agrees with them. B. He hesitates to accept them
38、.C. He argues against them. D. He doubts them.42. We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need to _.A. have some good food B. exercise regularlyC. discover fatigue toxins D. enjoy their workDA Bite of China, featuring delicious Chinese food, has attracted count
39、less viewers, and moved many to tears.A Bite of China is a serious documentary providing a unique view of Chinese as well as the relations between people and food and between people and society from the view of food. The touching documentary reminds some people of their mother, and makes some realiz
40、e that every grain comes from hard and laborious work. Some people see patriotism(爱国精神) in the documentary, and some consider it a great cultural export.How did this documentary achieve a great influence beyond its subject matter in such a short time?“It is not empty propaganda(宣传) about Chinas sple
41、ndid food culture. Instead, it shows the techniques used in making food and their production process as well as the lives of ordinary people, thus striking a chord(共鸣) with the audience,” an Internet user said. The success of the documentary should be attributed to sincerity and reality. Nowadays, m
42、any works of art that have high investment, high technology, and magnificent scenes lack nothing but sincerity and reality.A Bite of China shows that a commercial documentary promoting patriotism can be full of touching details, that the emotions of ordinary Chinese people should be exhibited even i
43、n publicizing China overseas, and that even a completely commercial program can achieve both artistic and commercial success.“We made this documentary with our respect and love for food,” said director Chen Xiaoqing. Being sincere is the most important thing for artists because they cannot move othe
44、rs unless they themselves are first moved, and cannot convince others unless they themselves are first convinced. Sincerity is the “secret” for making this documentary so popular, and cultural creator should learn from its success.43. According to the passage, A Bite of China is _.A. a book B. a fil
45、m C. a newspaper D. a TV program44. What can you find in A Bite of China?A. Relations between people and food. B. Real lives of all Chinese people.C. Patriotic stories of Chinese people. D. Process of preparing food.45. What can we infer from the passage?A. The documentary is so successful that no o
46、ne can surpass it.B. Different people can get different messages from the documentary.C. The documentary should have shown Chinas splendid food of culture.D. Many art works fail to reflect reality and high technology.46. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Directors respect and love for f
47、ood. B. The secret of the documentarys success.C. The influence of the documentary. D. The popularity of the documentary.E“Culture consists of all shared products of human society” (Robertson, 1981). This means not only such material things as cities, organizations and schools, but also non-material
48、 things such as ideas, customs, family patterns, languages. Putting it simply, culture refers to the entire way of life of a society, “the ways of people”.Language is a part of culture and plays a very important role in it. Some social scientists consider it the keystone of culture. Without language
49、, the maintaining(延续) of culture would not be possible. On the other hand, language is influenced and shaped by culture, and it reflects culture. In the broadcast sense, language is the symbolic representation of a people, and it comprises(包含) their historical and cultural backgrounds, as well as th
50、eir approach to life and their ways of living and thinking.We should not go further into the relationship between language and culture. What needs to be stressed here is that the two interact, and that understanding of one requires understanding of the other.Social scientists tell us that cultures d
51、iffer from one another, and that each culture is unique. As cultures are diverse, languages are diverse. It is only natural then that with differences in cultures and differences in languages, difficulties often arise in communicating between cultures and across cultures. Understanding is not always
52、 easy.Learning a foreign language well means more than merely mastering the pronunciation, grammar, words and idioms. It means learning also to see the world as native speakers of that language see it, learning the ways in which their language reflects the ideas, customs, and behaviors of their soci
53、ety, and learning to understand their “language of the mind”. Learning a language, in fact, is inseparable from learning its culture.47. According to the first paragraph, the term “culture” refers to _.A. things like cities, organizations and schoolsB. ideas, customs, family patterns, and languagesC
54、. all things produced by human raceD. the total that form a society48. The second paragraph tells about _.A. the role language plays in cultureB. the relationship between language and cultureC. the influence culture has on language. D. the representation of culture49. There will be no difficulty in
55、communication if _.A. people from different countries can speak each others languagesB. people from different countries can know each others cultures C. people from different countries can know each otherslanguages and culturesD. there were no difference between the two cultures50. The last paragrap
56、h mainly talks about _.A. learning social science through society itself B. learning a language through its cultureC. learning a culture through its languageD. learning social customs through culture第二节 补全对话 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)注意：请把答案填在答题卡上。- Good morning, Royal Hotel.

61、ions(挖掘) have shown that Stonehenge was built in four stages. First, a series of holes were dug around 3,100 BC for religious ceremony. Then, more than 1,000 years later, the most dramatic stage of building took place. Huge bluestones from mountains in Wales were lugged more than 240 miles to the St
