Thetraditional Chinese culture is established on the Confucian
22、philosophy, while the western culture is based on ancient Greek 41 . Cultural differences exist in almost every aspect and therefore 42 also on relationships and marriage.From the traditional Chinese point of view, marriage is a relationship 43 many aspects such as family, friends and relatives, whi
23、le from the Western point of view, marriage is a contract signed between two people that is based on trust and love. Furthermore, Westerners marriages 44 more the independence and 45 of the couple.That is why Westerners sometimes cannot understand why we Chinese need to support our relatives if we a
24、re asked to do so. Chinese need to maintain their “face” and “relations”. Even in a relationship, we are somehow still 46 to our family and relatives. Our partner has to understand it and at least does not 47 it.It is not easy to maintain Chinese-Western relationship. Cultural differences may result
25、 in 48 . Young Asian ladies are fond of western men because they believe they are more gentlemanly and in addition their appearances are more attractive. Western men may think Chinese ladies are gentler and more feminine.My suggestion for the cross-culture relationship is always trying to put yourse
26、lf in others shoes: accepting rather than changing; always respecting your partner but clarifying your own red lines; showing your interest in his/her different culture and carefully commenting on it and so on.There are more and more cross-culture marriages 49 recently. I would like to take this cha
27、nce to sincerely wish them the very best in their love journeys.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.A new research suggests
28、that animals have a much higher level of brainpower than once thought. If animals do have intelligence, how do scientists measure it? Before defining animals intelligence, scientists defined what is not intelligence. Instinct is not intelligence. It is a skill 50 into an animals brain by its genetic
29、 heritage (基因遗传). Tricks can be learned byrepetition, but no real thinking is 51 . Cuing, in which animals learn to do or not to do certain things by following outside signals, does not demonstrate intelligence. Scientists believe that insight, the ability to use tools, and communication using human
30、 language are all 52 measures of the mental ability of animals.When judging animal intelligence, scientists look for insight, which they define as a flash of sudden understanding. When a young gorilla (大猩猩) could not reach fruit from a tree, she noticed crates (木板箱) on the lawn near the tree. She 53
31、 the crates into a pyramid, thenclimbed on them to reach her 54 . The gorillas insight allowed her to solve a new problem without trial and error.The ability to use tools is also an important sign of intelligence. Crows (乌鸦) use sticks topry (撬开) peanuts out of cracks. The crow 55 intelligence by sh
32、owing it has learned what a stick can do. 56 , otter (水獭) use rocks to crack open crab shells in order to get at the meat.Many animals have learned to communicate using human language. One chimp can recognize and correctly use more than 250 57 symbols on a keyboard. These symbols 58 human words. An
33、amazing parrot can 59 five objects of two different types. He can understand the difference between the number, color, and kind of object. The ability to 60 is a basic thinking skill. In addition, he seems to use language to express his needs and 61 . When ill and taken to the animal hospital for hi
34、s first overnight stay, this parrot turned to go. “Come here!” he cried to a scientist who works with him. “I love you. Im sorry. Wanna go back?”The research on animal intelligence raises important questions. If animals are smarter than 62 thought, would that change the way humans interact with them
35、? Would animals still be used for food, clothing, or 63 experimentation? Finding the answer to these tough questions makes a difficult 64 even for a large-brained, problem-solving species like our own.50.A. developedB. admittedC. programmedD. injected51.A. inheritedB. involvedC. instructedD. intende

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the pass
39、age you have just read.(A)Brigham Young University students can now receive the unconditional love of dogs without breaking rules prohibiting pets in university housing.Jenna Miller started her company Puppies for Rent this summer in the Provo area as a way for students and others to rent puppies by
40、 the hour.The pups have been rented for first dates and surprise parties and by mothers rewarding their children. After signing a contract, customers can rent them for $15 an hour, $25 for two hours and$10 for each additional hour.Miller offers her seven puppies for playtime rentals, with each dog h
41、and delivered straight to the customers door. Her lawyer brother helps her with legal contracts and fees. She now has four employees helping look after and deliver the animal.Carl Arky, spokesman for the Humane Society of Utah said his group is against the business. Puppies need consistency and stab
42、ility in their lives, he said, and renting them to various people might affect the animals growth and development.Miller said the animals are treated well and she has a 100 percent success rate so far finding them a permanent home.

56、us when you sit a math exam? For most students, math can be tough but scientists have proved that math problems can actually trigger physical pain.Scientists came to his conclusion with an in-depth experiment, which was published in the Public Library of Science One journal. They began by finding ou
57、t how much participants fear math. Those involved were asked a series of questions such as how they feel when they receive a math textbook or when they walk into a math lesson.Based on their answers, participants were divided into groups. One group was made up of people who were particularly afraid
58、of math and participants in the other group were more comfortable with the subject.Both groups were then given either math tasks or word tasks. When a math task was going to come next, a yellow circle would appear but when a word task was soon to come, a blue square would be shown.Using a brain-scan
59、 machine, scientists noticed that whenever people from Group One saw a yellow circle, their brain would respond in a way similar to when their body is feeling pain. It was like the pain they would fee, for example, if they burnt their hand on a hot stove. But they reacted less strongly when they kne
60、w that they would be faced with a word task.However, scientists saw no strong brain response from people in the second group.Math can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMA), math is associated with tension, apprehension and fear. “When you are really thinking about
61、 the math problems, your mind is racing and you are worrying about all the things that could go wrong,” explained Ian Lyons from University of Chicago, US, leader of the study. “The higher a persons anxiety of a maths task, the more he activated brain regions associated with threat detection, and th
62、e experience of pain.”More interestingly, the brain activity disappeared when participants actually started dealing with the math tasks. “This means that its not that math itself hurts; rather, the anticipation of math is painful,” Lyons said.Based on the study, scientists suggested that things coul
63、d be done to help students worry less and move past their fear of math, which might mean they perform better in tests.72. In the first stage, scientists ask participants some questions to _.A. see whether math hurtsB. find out how much they fear mathC. observe how their brain responseD. test their e
64、ndurance of pain73. The underlined word “the anicipation of math” is closest in meaning to .A. the attempt of learning mathC. the effort to understand mathB. the motivation to work out math problemD. the act of thinking about math74.Which is the best title for the passage?A. How to overcome math fea
65、r.B. Physical pain affects math performance.C. Math pain in your brain.D. Unknown truth about pain.75. What can be concluded from the experiment?A. The anticipation of math has no relation to students confidence in math. B. Moderate mathematic anxiety promotes students academic performance.C. Effect
66、ive solutions have been worked out to lower students anxiety of math.D. Physical pain caused by HMA disappears in the process of doing math problem.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which
67、 you do not need.A. Weather is to blameB. Divided opinionsC. Inheriting characteristicsD. Home of the redheadsE. Greater sensitivity to painF. Gene mutation76.Britain may be the most red-headed country in the world. About 1 to 2 percent of the worldspopulation has red hair, but in the UK the numbers
68、 are much higher, with 13 percent of Scots, 10percent of the Irish, and 6 percent of people in England having red hair, according to the BBC.77.Scientists have tried to explain why some people have red hair for some time and now they may have found an answer: the dull weather in Britain. The human b
69、ody needs vitamin D from sunshine, but unfortunately people living in Britain do not have enough of it because of its maritime climate. In fact, Britain gets even more cloud than countries in the far north of Europe. In Sweden,for example, the average daily hours of sunshine is 5.4. In Scotland it i
70、s only 3.1 hours.78.To deal with this, the DNA of people living in these areas has changed slightly; scientists callthis a mutation. Originally, the coloring on our body is a mixture of two kinds of melanin black melanin and red/yellow melanin, but with certain parts of DNA changed, the production o
71、f black melanin is suppressed while only red/yellow melanin is made. The result is red hair, light skincolor, freckles and a greater sensitivity to sunlight.79.However, whats more interesting is that redhead DNA mutation is recessive, which means itis hidden and can often skip generations without sh
72、owing. At least 1.6 million Scots carry a red-head gene mutation, and most are unaware that they do. This is why a person who does nothave red hair can still produce red-haired children if he or she is a carrier of this special DNA.80.The research on red hair, like many areas of science, is contradi
73、ctory. In 2002 researchersshowed that redheads are more sensitive to pain, and need more anaesthetic during surgery than people with blonde or dark hair. However, in 2005 scientists found that a MCR1R mutation gives redheads a higher tolerance for pain. Research into these aspects of red hair geneti
74、cs continues. Redheads should though be more careful about their exposure to sunlight as they are at an increased risk of contracting skin cancer. If you are a redhead, the advice is not to stay out of the sun, but to be careful about how much exposure you get, and to cover yourself with a higher fa
75、ctor sunscreen.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Pizza Hut lovers, you can now smell just like your favorite food.

76、e although it started as one! While it might seem like an unusual venture for the brand famous for pizza, the companys perfume is already available as a limited edition product.According to the Globe and Mail, the project started out as a joke by Grip Limited, an advertising firm that works with Piz
77、za Hut in Canada, who asked the chains Facebook fans to imagine the pleasant smell of a fresh-delivered pie as a perfume and to name it. Fans responded to the idea so enthusiastically that Grip Limited decided to take the joke a step further and make the perfume a reality.A month and a half later, t

80、ure. But the chain also said in the release that its possible the perfume could appear in stores in the future.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.
