I am the daughter of two Ethiopian immigrants who made their share of sacrifices to ensure my success”可知，当作者钻进汽车后座时，司机口音的温暖语调让一种熟悉的感觉涌上了
67、作者的心头。作者了解到，他是一名最近来美的西非移民。我有同感：我是两名埃塞俄比亚移民的女儿，为了我的前程，他们作出了牺牲。所以为什么作者对司机的口音感到温暖是因为作者的父母也是非洲移民。故选D项。【39题详解】细节理解题。由第三段“And then came the fateful question: “What do you study?” I answered “history and literature” and the pride in his voice faded, as I knew it might. his voice thick with disappointment,

69、，好让你的孩子也可以这么做。所以为什么移民的孩子要成为医生或律师是因为他们的父母希望他们进入上流社会。故选A项。【41题详解】推理判断题。由倒数第二段和最后一段“but now as a junior in college, Im grateful for their support more than anything. Ill just smile and nod, and enjoy the warmth of the occasion.”可知，但现在作为一个大三学生，我非常感激他们的支持。我只会笑着点头，享受这个时刻的温暖。所以判断出，作者对司机的提问持感激的态度，很感激司机的关注。故

If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time play
72、s a very important part. In the United States, guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an a
73、ppointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings often arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness(准时) is valued highly
74、in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S., no one would think of keeping a business partner waiting for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is five minutes late is expected to make a short apology.This
75、way of treating time is quite different from that of several other cultures. This helps to explain the unfortunate experience of a certain agriculturist from the United States, assigned to duty in another country. After a long delay, the agriculturist was finally agreed an appointment with the Minis
76、ter of Agriculture. Arriving a little before the appointed hour, the agriculturist waited. The hour came and passed. At this point he suggested to the secretary that perhaps the minister did not know he was waiting in the outer office. This gave him the feeling of having done something to solve the
77、problem, but he had not. Twenty minutes passed, then thirty, then forty-five. To an American, that is the beginning of the “insult period”. No matter what is said in apology, there is little that can remove the damage done by an hours wait in an outer office. Yet in the country where this story took
78、 place, a forty-five-minute waiting period was not unusual.In the West, particularly in the United States, people tend to think of time as something fixed in nature. As a rule, Americans think of time as a road stretching into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections, which
79、 are to be kept separate “one thing at a time”. People who cannot plan events are not highly regarded. Thus, an American may feel angry when he has made an appointment with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.Since time has such different meanings in different cul
80、tures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.42. According to the passage, an announcement broadcast during class must be very important because _A. it is a customary time to make.B. it makes everyone surprised.C. it requires
81、 immediate attention.D. it speaks more plainly than words.43 The author mentions an agriculturists experience in order to show _A. the value of promptness for Americans.B. the cultural differences in treating time.C. the bad manners of the Minister of Agriculture.D. the importance of time in differe
82、nt parts of the day.44. The underlined word “insult” in Paragraph5 probably means _A. boring.B. patient.C. shameful.D. hopeless.45. We can learn from the passage that people will understand better if _A. they are concerned with the value of time.B. they know how to communicate with each other.C. the
83、y escape dealing with many things at one appointed time.D. they keep in mind that different cultures treat time differently.【答案】42. C 43. B 44. C 45. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了时间的重要性以及时间在不同文化中的不同意义。【42题详解】推理判断题。由第二段“If you telephone him early in the day, the time of the call shows that the matter is ver
84、y important and requires immediate attention. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance ”可知，如果你在一天的早些时候给他打电话，打电话的时间表明这件事很重要，需要立即处理。通话时间的选择体现了通话的重要性。所以判断出，根据这篇文章，在课堂上的一则课堂广播一定是非常重要的，因为事情需要立即处理。故选C项。【43题详解】推理判断题。由第五段“This way of treating time is quite different from that of several othe
85、r cultures”可知，这种对待时间的方式不同于其他几种文化。所以这是本段的主题句，所以段落中所举的例子都是为了支持本段的主题句。故判断出作者提到一位农学家的经历，是为了展示对待时间的文化差异。故选B项。【44题详解】词义猜测题。由第五段“This gave him the feeling of having done something to solve the problem, but he had not. Twenty minutes passed, then thirty, then forty-five. To an American, that is the beginnin
86、g of the “insult period”. No matter what is said in apology, there is little that can remove the damage done by an hours wait in an outer office”可知，这给了他一种已经解决了问题的感觉，但他没有。二十分钟过去了，然后是三十分钟，然后是四十五分钟。对美国人来说，这是“侮辱期”的开始。不管道歉的内容是什么，在外面的办公室里等一个小时所造成的损害是无法消除的。所以通过上下文可以判断出，段落5中划线的“insult”一词可能是指shameful“丢脸的”。故选
87、C项。【45题详解】细节理解题。由最后段“Since time has such different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind”可知，由于时间的意义根据文化的不同而不同，交流就常常会有障碍。如果我们认识到这一事实，那么我们就可能更好的理解对方。所以我们可以从这段短文中学习到，如果人们记住不同文化对时间需要不同地对待，他们会更好地理解对
88、方。故选D项。【点睛】事物共性推断是根据文章中所阐述的细节，运用自己掌握的基础知识进行分析、推敲，从而得出对另一个共性事物的看法的一种推断方法，解答此类题，不仅需要我们有一定的生活基础知识，而且还需要对细节以及有关背景知识有一个充分的理解。例如，小题1由第二段“If you telephone him early in the day, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The time chosen for the call commun
89、icates its importance ”可知，如果你在一天的早些时候给他打电话，打电话的时间表明这件事很重要，需要立即处理。通话时间的选择体现了通话的重要性。所以判断出，根据这篇文章，在课堂上的一则课堂广播一定是非常重要的，因为事情需要立即处理。故小题1选C项。第二节（共小题；每小题分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Life LessonsLife is not easy when you are pursuing something worthwhile and ready to learn f

B【解析】这是一篇说明文。作者向我们介绍了需要费一番周折才能学会的5 个生活教训。【46题详解】由前后句“Life is not easy when you are pursuing something worthwhile and ready to learn from the best experiences. _1_ Here are some life lessons
98、 which people will learn the hard way in majority of cases.”可知，当你想追寻值得做的事情并准备学习最好的经验时， 生活并不是简单的。下面的这五个教训， 大部分的情况下人们都是费一番苦功才会学到。所以选项起到承上启下的作用。故E选项“它总是测试我们， 让我们通过失败来学习有价值的东西 ”切题。故选E项。【47题详解】由上句“Look at any successful person and youll notice one thing common in all of them. They took time to learn and
99、mastered their skills like no one else”可知，随便找出一个成功的人， 你就会发现成功人士的共同点。他们都比常人努力， 拿时间去学习并掌握技能。所以选项是对上几句的总结，来说明成功的途径是什么。故C选项“通往成功的路上没有电梯， 你只能去一级一级爬楼梯” 切题。故选C项。【48题详解】由前句“In our whole life, we always want to follow the same path that everyone suggests, do the same things everyone does, take the same caree
100、r path everyone takes, wear the same clothes everyone wears, and hang out with the same people we work with”可知，我们按着别人建议的道路去走，做别人做的事情，走别人走的职业路线，穿和别人一样的衣服，和同事一起出去玩。所以选项要说明这么做的原因是什么。故D选项“我们总是跟随别人的原因是我们害怕失败”切题。故选D项。【49题详解】由后句“Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they dont want becau
101、se other children have selected that career”可知，父母们有时会强迫孩子选择孩子不喜欢的专业就因为其他孩子选择了那个专业。所以选项要与后句一同具体说明社会上一些不好的风气。故G选项“许多老的规矩最近又开始风行， 人们盲目地跟风 ”切题。故选G项。【50题详解】由后句“However, if you are smart enough to learn early and wish not to waste your precious time learning them the hard way, learn them now and apply it
102、to your life as soon as possible.”可知，然而， 如果你足够聪明想早点儿学到它们， 不想把宝贵的时间浪费在费劲去学这些教训上， 那么你现在就可以学习它们， 并可以尽早把它们用到你的生活中。所以选项与后一句为转折关系。故B选项“毕竟， 生活中的教训总是需费一番苦功才能学到”切题。选B项。第三部分 书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）51.假如你是红星中学高三学生李华，你的美国朋友Jim下学期将作为交换生来你校学习，他想学习传统中国画。请你给Jim回信提供相关信息，内容包括：1. 你校开设中国画选修课程;2 上课时间和地点;3. 工具和材料。注意：1词数不少于
