20、A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AA simple flower made headlines in the British press last week. How could that be?British Prime Minister David Cameron and his ministers were attending a reception hosted by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. They insisted on wearing poppies(罂粟
21、花) in their buttonholes. Whats wrong with that?According to the Global Times, Chinese officials apparently had asked the UK delegation （代表团）not to wear poppies. The British said that poppies meant a great deal to them on that day and they would wear them all the same. So whats the significance of th
22、e poppy? Its a flower which has different cultural and symbolic meanings for British and Chinese people.From the Chinese point of view, the poppy is a symbol of Chinas humiliation at the hands of European powers in the Opium Wars（鸦片战争） of the 19th century. Britain forced China to open the borders to
23、 trade including in the opium which was made from poppies grown in India.Yet from the British viewpoint the poppy is a reminder of the killing during World War I. Red poppies grew on the battlefields of Flanders in Belgium where many thousands of British soldiers died or were buried. Since then, Pop
24、py Day (November 11) has become a time in the UK to wear poppies and remember the sacrifices of British soldiers and civilians in times of war. So you can see that the poppy sets off strong feelings in the hearts of Chinese and British people for different reasons. And it makes sense for us to try t
25、o understand each others standpoint.Of course cultural differences can also be interesting and funny. And what one nation thinks is an acceptable gift may be viewed differently by their guests from overseas. US President Barack Obama gave a gift of an iPod to Britains Queen a dull person with no int
26、erest in music. Obama also presented Gordon Brown with a fine selection of American movies. But they were in US format and impossible to play on British DVD players. Many countries have diplomats stationed overseas. Diplomats provide information and advice to their governments back home. However, so
27、metimes it would seem that even diplomats can overlook the cultural significance of a small flower. 41. British Prime Minister David Cameron probably attended a reception in Beijing on _.A. October 1 B. November 11C. December 31D. January 1142. The poppy reminds the Chinese of _.A. the shame caused
28、by European countries in the 19th centuryB. the British soldiers who were killed and buried during World War IC. the Chinese soldiers killed during World War IID. the suffering caused by Britain during World War I43.

29、B. the language difference C. the cultural difference D. the different lifestyle44. We can infer that _.A. Britains Queen is not interested in artB.

30、not like the iPod US President Obama presented her45. What is the main idea of the 9th paragraph?A. Cultural differences can also be interesting and funnyB.

31、rs get along well with each otherBMany parents have learned the hard way that what sounds like open communication is often the very thing that closes a youngsters ears and mouth. One common mistake is the Lecture, the long monologue that often starts with “When I was your age.” Eighteen-year-old Kel
32、ly calls lectures “long, one-side discussions in which I dont say much.”Kids reflexively（条件反射地） shut down in the face of a lecture. Their eyes glaze over（呆滞）, and they dont register any incoming information. Listen to 13-year-old Sarah describe her least favorite times with her mom and dad. “First,
33、they scream. Then comes the Were so disappointed speech. Then the I never did that to my parents lecture begins. After that, even if they realize how ridiculous they sound, they never take it back.”Lines like “When you have children of your own, youll understand” have been seriously said by parents
34、since time immemorial. But many of our expert parents, like Bobby, a registered nurse and mother of three, feel that by falling back on clichs（陈词滥调） to justify our actions, we weaken our position.Since kids are creatures of here and now, the far-off future has no relevance to them. Therefore, good c
35、ommunicators like Bobby suggest, “Give specific reasons for your actions in present language: Im not letting you go to the party because I dont think there will be enough adult supervisions（监护）.”Betty, who lives in Missiouri, uses an indirect approach. “I find that warnings are accepted more readily
36、 if I discuss a news article on a subject I am concerned about. My husband and I talk about it while our children absorb the information. Then they never think Im preaching(布道).”This really helped when Bettys kids began driving. Instead of constantly repeating “Dont drink; dont speed,” she would tal
37、k about articles in the paper and express sympathy for the victims of a car crash. Betty made no special effort to draw her kids into the conversation. She depended on a teenagers strong desire to put in his opinions-especially if he thinks he isnt being asked for them.46. The purpose of the passage
38、 is to _.A. compare two ways of parents communicating with their kidsB. give parents advice on how to communicate with their kidsC. explain why kids wont listen to their parents.D. introduce kids reaction to the communication between them and their parents47. Which of the following statements is NOT
39、 right?A. Kids wont listen to their parents because they think what their parents say is boring.B. Many kids think they have no right to express their own opinions.C. Some kids think their parents should apologize when they are wrong.D. Kids dont like any discussion at all.48. What does the underlin
40、ed word in the first paragraph mean?A. 独白 B. 对话 C. 插话 D. 讨论49. Which of the following topic may appeal to kids?A. Parents own experience B. Kids possible life in the future C. Something related to kids present life D. What parents have done to their own parents.50. In order to make kids follow their
41、 advice, parents should_.A. tell their kids to listen carefully B. set out their warnings directlyC. list out as many examples as possible D. arouse kids desire to express themselves.CThe iPhone, the iPad, each of Apples products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken adva
42、ntage of the power of the letter “i” and many other brands are following suit. The BBCs iPlayer which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear popular in the US and UK that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version of Londo
43、ns Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes (前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use. Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independents
44、 “i”, its no surprise that theyve selected this fashionable name. But its hard to see whats so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at Kings College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When
45、Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didnt have one clear definition,” he says. “However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability (轻便) .”adds Thor
46、ne.Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason. Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words t
47、hat have come to define the last decade. But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably disap

A. young readers B. old readers C. fashionable women D. engineers53. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “_”.A. popular B. u
49、ncertain C. definite D. unique54. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are _. A. portable B. environmentally friendly C. advanced D. recyclable55. The writer suggests that _.A. “i” products are often of high qualityB. iTeddy is alive bearC. the letter “b” replaces letter
50、 “i” to name the productsD. the popularity of “i” products may not last long DWe keep reading that TV is bad for you. If this is true, how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are? In my home, the only people who can work the remote control are the children. Perhap
51、s TV does educate you. For example, you learn a useful medical fact: A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies. “The killer was” (dies)But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”. Bad things only happen on dark and
52、stormy nights. Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas. And contrary to what scientists say, the crack(霹雳) of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time, wherever you are.Ive even acquired useful geographical facts from science-fictio

(2) If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you.Be warned, however. If your name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and you are pa

All cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damag
