But now that information is being spread and monitored in different ways, researchers are discovering new Rules. Scientists ____22____ people’s e-mails and online posts, and found that good news spread faster and farther than ____23____ and sad stories. “The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling.

Reading Comprehension (35’) Section A (15’) Directions: For each blank in the following passage 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. Once upon a time, much of the world was populated by wolves. They ranged all over the United States and Canada, Siberia and much of mainland Europe, as well as Great Britain, and if humans hadn’t come along, they would still be there ____31____. But man did come along, farmed the land, ____32____ the wolves killing their livestock (家畜) and so gradually drove them out of the homes that had once been theirs. Wolves are not ____33____ in our language and our literature, however. In fairy stories, they are seen as evil and dangerous, always ____34____ to eat people. Remember the time when Little Red Riding Hood thinks that a wolf is her grandmother? “What big teeth you’ve got, Grandmother?” she says, and the wolf, disguised (伪装) as her grandmother, shouts back, “All the better to eat you with, my dear!” If you really want to see how English-speaking humans think of the wolf, just look at the ____35____! “A wolf in sheep’s clothing” is not a pleasant person and a “wolf-whistle” is not a pleasant sound! Yet wolves are totally unlike the image we have of them from legend and language. For a start, they don’t ____36____ humans; indeed, they do their best to keep out of our way. They are very sociable animals, living in packs and looking after their young with a fondness that should make some humans ____37____ themselves. Far from wolf music being ____38____, the howl of the wolf — the cry of the whole pack — as the full moon rises in a star-bright sky, is one of the most beautiful sounds in nature. They are beautiful creatures which can run at speeds of up to 65 kph if they have to. They can jump up and run up rock faces like a cat. And when they do ____39____, their 42 large teeth are fearsomely effective. But the ____40____ remains that we love the lion, the king of the jungle, while we demonize (妖魔化) the wolf, one of the most beautiful animals in the world. Only ____41____ do writers treat them nicely; ____42____, a she-wolf is supposed to have fed the twins Remus and Romulus, who went on to found the city of Rome. And so, while man kills animals in their millions, often just for the fun of it, the wolf on the mountain, out in the wilderness, running over the Siberian wastes, represents a state of natural ____43____ that we do not know and can never obtain, even though we ____44____ it in our hearts. Perhaps that’s why, in the end, we ____45____ the wolf so much — for having something we can never get our hands on. 31.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章反思了人类对狼的偏见，讲述了历史上人类将狼驱逐出栖息地，并在语言和文学中将其妖魔化为邪恶象征，但事实上狼是合群、敏捷且美丽的动物，与人类负面印象截然不同。 【31题详解】 考查介词短语辨析。句意：它们分布在美国、加拿大、西伯利亚和欧洲大陆的大部分地区，以及英国，如果没有人类的出现，它们仍然会大量地生活在那里。A. on a regular basis定期；B. to a small extent略微；C. in great numbers大量；D. beyond certain limits超出一定限度。根据上文“Once upon a time, much of the world was populated by wolves.”可知，很久以前，世界上大部分地区都是狼的家园，因此如果没有人类的出现，它们仍然会大量地生活在那里。故选C。 【32题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：但是人类确实出现了，开垦了土地，反对狼捕杀他们的牲畜，因此逐渐把它们赶出了曾经属于它们的家园。A. succeeded in在……方面成功；B. agreed with同意；C. worked out解决；D. objected to反对。根据下文“so gradually drove them out of the homes that had once been theirs”可知，人类逐渐把狼赶出了曾经属于它们的家园，因此是指反对狼捕杀他们的牲畜。故选D。 【33题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：然而，在我们的语言和文学中，狼并不是受害者。A. killers杀手；B. victims受害者；C. characters角色；D. mistakes错误。根据下文“In fairy stories, they are seen as evil and dangerous”可知，在童话故事中，狼被视为邪恶和危险的，因此是指并不是受害者。故选B。 【34题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在童话故事中，它们被视为邪恶和危险的，总是准备吃人。A. reluctant不情愿的；B. ready准备好的；C. unlikely不太可能的；D. sure确定的。根据下文“the wolf, disguised (伪装) as her grandmother, shouts back, “All the better to eat you with, my dear!””可知，童话故事《小红帽》中狼想吃掉小红帽，因此是指总是准备吃人。故选B。 【35题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：如果你真的想知道说英语的人是如何看待狼的，那就看看他们的语言吧！A. language语言；B. behaviour行为；C. teaching教学；D. learning学习。根据下文““A wolf in sheep’s clothing” is not a pleasant person and a “wolf-whistle” is not a pleasant sound!”可知，英语中“A wolf in sheep’s clothing (披着羊皮的狼)”和“wolf-whistle (向过路女子吹的口哨)”都是带有贬义色彩的语言表达，因此是指通过说英语的人的语言来推理他们是如何看待狼的。故选A。 【36题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：首先，它们不会攻击人类；事实上，它们尽最大努力不妨碍我们。A. avoid避免；B. frighten吓唬；C. attack攻击；D. protest抗议。根据下文“indeed, they do their best to keep out of our way”可知，狼尽最大努力不妨碍人类，因此是指不会攻击人类。故选C。 【37题详解】 考查形容词短语辨析。句意：它们是非常合群的动物，群居生活，照顾幼崽的慈爱之情应该会让一些人感到羞愧。A. surprised at对……感到惊讶；B. pleased with对……感到高兴；C. ashamed of对……感到羞愧；D. interested in对……感兴趣。根据上文“looking after their young with a fondness”可知，狼会慈爱地照顾幼崽，这会让一些不那么有慈爱之心的人感到羞愧。故选C。 【38题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：狼的音乐一点也不喧闹，当满月从星光灿烂的天空升起时，狼的嚎叫——整个狼群的叫声——是大自然中最美丽的声音之一。A. peaceful平和的；B. loud喧闹的；C. musical悦耳的；D. soft柔和的。根据下文“the howl of the wolf — the cry of the whole pack — as the full moon rises in a star-bright sky, is one of the most beautiful sounds in nature”可知，满月时狼群的叫声是大自然中最美丽的声音之一，因此是狼的音乐一点也不喧闹。故选B。 【39题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当它们真的要杀戮时，它们的42颗大牙齿非常有效。A. run奔跑；B. kill杀死；C. jump跳跃；D. cry哭泣。根据下文“their 42 large teeth are fearsomely effective”可知，狼在进行捕猎杀戮时需要用到牙齿。故选B。 【40题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：但事实仍然是，我们喜欢狮子，丛林之王，而我们妖魔化狼，世界上最美丽的动物之一。A. possibility可能性；B. mystery谜；C. evidence证据；D. fact事实。根据下文“that we love the lion, the king of the jungle, while we demonize (妖魔化) the wolf, one of the most beautiful animals in the world”可知，我们喜欢狮子，妖魔化狼是仍然存在的事实。故选D。 【41题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：只有偶尔作家才会善待它们；例如，一只母狼被认为喂养了双胞胎雷穆斯和罗慕路斯，他们后来建立了罗马城。A. occasionally偶尔地；B. recently最近地；C. immediately立即地；D. finally最终。根据上文“while we demonize (妖魔化) the wolf, one of the most beautiful animals in the world”可知，我们通常妖魔化狼，此处用occasionally“偶尔”指出狼在极少数情况下被善待，从而突显我们人类对狼的偏见。故选A。 【42题详解】 考查固定短语辨析。句意：只有偶尔作家才会善待它们；例如，一只母狼被认为喂养了双胞胎雷穆斯和罗慕路斯，他们后来建立了罗马城。A. on the whole总体；B. in addition此外；C. even so即便如此；D. for example例如。根据下文“a she-wolf is supposed to have fed the twins Remus and Romulus, who went on to found the city of Rome”可知，神话中一只母狼被描述为喂养了罗马城的奠基人，这是作家才会善待狼的一个例子，此处用for example“例如”引出例子。故选D。 【43题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：因此，当人类捕杀数以百万计的动物，往往只是为了取乐时，山上的狼，野外的狼，在西伯利亚的荒原上奔跑的狼，代表了一种我们不知道也永远无法获得的自然优雅状态，即使我们在心中梦想着它。A. duty责任；B. grace优雅；C. competition竞争；D. skill技能。根据上文“one of the most beautiful animals in the world”可知，狼是世界上最美丽的动物之一，因此是指代表了一种自然优雅状态。故选B。 【44题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：因此，当人类捕杀数以百万计的动物，往往只是为了取乐时，山上的狼，野外的狼，在西伯利亚的荒原上奔跑的狼，代表了一种我们不知道也永远无法获得的自然优雅状态，即使我们在心中梦想着它。A. dream of梦想；B. live by遵循；C. fight against对抗；D. learn from向……学习。根据上文“that we do not know and can never obtain”可知，狼拥有我们人类不知道也永远无法获得的东西，因此是指我们在心中梦想着它。故选A。 【45题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：也许这就是为什么我们最终如此讨厌狼——因为它拥有我们永远得不到的东西。A. cage把……关进笼中；B. keep保持；C. hate讨厌；D. notice注意。根据上文“In fairy stories, they are seen as evil and dangerous”和“we demonize (妖魔化) the wolf”可知，我们人类把狼视为邪恶和危险的，妖魔化它们，因此是指我们最终如此讨厌狼。故选C。 Section B (20’) Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. 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 passage you have just read. (A) It Tastes Just Like Chicken Away from home, eating is more than just a way to keep your stomach full. It is a language all its own, and no words can say, “Glad to meet you… glad to be doing business with you…” quite like sharing a meal offered by your host. Clearly, mealtime is not the time for you to say, “Thanks, but no thanks.” Acceptance of the food on your plate means acceptance of host, country, and company. So, no matter how difficult it may be to swallow, swallow. Or, as one experienced traveller says, “Travel with a cast-iron stomach and eat everything everywhere.” Often, the food offered represents proudly your host country’s eating culture. What would Americans think of a French person who refused to take a bite of homemade apple pie or sirloin? Our discomfort comes not so much from the thing itself, it comes from our unfamiliarity with it. After all, an oyster has remarkably the same look as a sheep’s eye; and a first look at a lobster would remind almost anybody of a creature from a science fiction movie, not something you dip in butter and eat. By the way, in Saudi Arabia, sheep’s eyes are a famous dish and in parts of China, it’s bear’s paw soup. Can you refuse such food without being rude? Most experienced business travellers say no, at least not before taking at least a few bites. It helps, though, to slice any item very thin. This way, you minimize the taste and the reminder of where it came from. Or, “Swallow it quickly,” as one traveller recommends. “I still can’t tell you what sheep’s eyes taste like.” As for dealing with taste, the old line that “it tastes just like chicken” is often thankfully true. Even when the “it” is really rat or snake. Another useful piece of advice is not knowing what you are eating. What’s for dinner? Don’t ask. Avoid glancing into the kitchen or looking at English-language menus. Your host will be pleased that you are eating the food he offers, and who knows? Maybe it really is chicken in that soup. 46. The purpose of the article is to ________. A. introduce unfamiliar food B. share the writer’s personal experiences C. advise on how to politely refuse to eat foreign food D. suggest ways to overcome a cultural barrier on food 47. According to the writer, people hesitate at strange food mainly due to ________. A. the way it looks B. lack of information about it C. safety worries D. the unfamiliar atmosphere 48. From the article we can infer that ________. A. one should refuse strange food after a few bites B. English-language menus are not always dependable C. an American may feel comfortable with sirloin D. one needs a cast-iron stomach to travel in other cultures 【答案】46. D 47. B 48. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了在异国他乡用餐时如何克服文化障碍，强调接受陌生食物是尊重主人文化的重要方式，并给出了实用建议。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Away from home, eating is more than just a way to keep your stomach full. It is a language all its own (离家在外，吃东西不仅仅是一种填饱肚子的方式。它是一种自成一体的语言)”、第二段中“Acceptance of the food on your plate means acceptance of host, country, and company. So, no matter how difficult it may be to swallow, swallow. (接受盘子里的食物意味着接受主人、国家和同伴。所以，不管咽下有多难，都要咽下去。)”和最后一段中“Another useful piece of advice is not knowing what you are eating. (另一个有用的建议是不知道你在吃什么。)”可知，文章聚焦在异国他乡用餐时的文化障碍，强调接受陌生食物是尊重主人文化的重要方式，并给出了实用建议，如快速吞咽、不要询问食物成分等。因此，本文的目的是建议如何克服饮食上的文化障碍。故选D项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Our discomfort comes not so much from the thing itself, it comes from our unfamiliarity with it. (我们的不适感更多不是来自食物本身，而是来自我们对它的陌生感。)”可知，作者认为，人们对陌生食物犹豫主要是由于对其缺乏了解。故选B项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Often, the food offered represents proudly your host country’s eating culture. What would Americans think of a French person who refused to take a bite of homemade apple pie or sirloin? (通常，所提供的食物代表了东道国的饮食文化。美国人会怎么看一个拒绝吃自制苹果派或西冷牛排的法国人？)”可知，自制苹果派或西冷牛排代表的是美国的饮食文化，拒绝这两种食物会让美国人不舒服。由此推知，美国人可能吃得惯西冷牛排。故选C项。 (B) Universal Quartet at HFZ Featuring Jessica Maurer (vocal) and Kentin (saxophone) from France, plus Tinho Pereira (guitar) and Leonardo Susi (percussion) from Brazil, this quartet is a harmonious mixing of three cities (Paris, Sao-Paulo, and Shanghai).

He was fascinated by the magnificence of the wilderness he saw. In the distance the Yellowstone River came crashing down a huge waterfall into a basin of sky blue. Below him lay enormous valley walls, violently carved out of the cream-yellow stone. To paint these wonders, the thin, strong man had endured a four-day ride on the newly built Northern Pacific Railroad. He was travelling as an artist on a survey team. The work he created as a result of this trip would introduce thousands of Americans to the glorious landscape of their own country — and help to establish Yellowstone as the first national park in the US. While the bearded figure sat gazing at the marvelous views around him, he wondered if he could capture on paper all the glories he saw. Alone with his watercolors and drawing pencils, 34-year-old Thomas Moran began to draw. The artist who did so much for the American West was born into a family of weavers in Bolton, England, in 1837. When Moran was seven, his family moved to Philadelphia, where they worked long hours at the loom (织布机). A sensitive young man, Moran spent his early adulthood improving his art without formal education. Day trips outside the city introduced him to the beauty of sloping hillsides and shining riverbeds, and he translated all these sights into oil paintings that grew more assured as time went by. He sold enough of these early works to keep going. By 1870 Moran was illustrating articles for Scribner’s Monthly magazine. One article, written by explorer Nathaniel Langford, described a mysterious region in the West called Yellowstone as “the place where hell bubbled up.” By reworking drawings made by members of Langford’s journey and using his own imagination, Moran drew a fantastic world of erupting geysers (喷涌的间歇泉) and other splendid views. 52. The description in paragraph 1 is meant to ________. A. reveal the danger of Moran’s trip B. stress the popularity of the Yellowstone C. show how remarkable the scenery is D. introduce Moran’s delicate painting skills 53. What can be learned from the passage about Thomas Moran? A. He discovered the Yellowstone by accident. B. He went to an art school to train as an artist. C. He appealed to the government to set up a national park. D. He drew the geysers before seeing them in person. 54. The word “illustrating” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”. A. giving examples to B. supplying pictures for C. explaining the themes of D. writing introductions to 55. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Man Who Gave US Yellowstone B. Thomas Moran and His Masterpieces C. A Unique and Adventurous Trip D. A National Park That Has Grand Views 【答案】52. C 53. D 54. B 55. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了19世纪艺术家Thomas Moran通过绘画记录黄石奇景，其作品不仅向公众展现了荒野之美，还间接推动了黄石成为美国首个国家公园，并介绍了他的出生背景、早期艺术经历等。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“He was fascinated by the magnificence of the wilderness he saw. In the distance the Yellowstone River came crashing down a huge waterfall into a basin of sky blue. Below him lay enormous valley walls, violently carved out of the cream-yellow stone. (他被他所看到的荒野的壮丽景色迷住了。远处的黄石河从巨大的瀑布上奔腾而下，汇入天蓝色的盆地。他脚下是巨大的峡谷壁，仿佛被暴力雕刻在乳黄色的岩石上。)”可知，第一段的描述聚焦Moran在黄石地区所看到的震撼景色，旨在展现这里风景的壮丽非凡。故选C项。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“By reworking drawings made by members of Langford’s journey and using his own imagination, Moran drew a fantastic world of erupting geysers (喷涌的间歇泉) and other splendid views. (通过重新加工Langford的旅行成员绘制的图纸，并运用自己的想象力，Moran画出了一个奇妙的世界，里面有喷发的间歇泉和其他壮丽的景色)”可推知，Moran在亲眼见到间歇泉之前就把它们画了出来。故选D项。 【54题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“One article, written by explorer Nathaniel Langford, described a mysterious region in the West called Yellowstone as “the place where hell bubbled up.” By reworking drawings made by members of Langford’s journey and using his own imagination, Moran drew a fantastic world of erupting geysers (喷涌的间歇泉) and other splendid views. (探险家Nathaniel Langford写的一篇文章将西部一个名为黄石的神秘地区描述为“地狱冒出来的地方”。通过重新加工Langford的旅行成员绘制的图纸，并运用自己的想象力，Moran画出了一个奇妙的世界，里面有喷发的间歇泉和其他壮丽的景色。)”可知，Moran为Langford所写的文章绘制了间歇泉等景象，因此是指他为该杂志的文章配图，黑体词意为“为……提供插图”。故选B项。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“The work he created as a result of this trip would introduce thousands of Americans to the glorious landscape of their own country — and help to establish Yellowstone as the first national park in the US. (他在这次旅行中创作的作品将向成千上万的美国人介绍他们自己国家的壮丽景观，并帮助黄石公园成为美国第一个国家公园。)”可知，文章的中心是19世纪艺术家Thomas Moran，聚焦他通过艺术创作向美国人展示黄石的壮丽，并推动其成为美国首个国家公园，并补充其出生背景、早期艺术经历等信息。因此，A项“将黄石带给我们的那个人”凸显了Moran及其画作的重要意义，最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 Ⅳ.

No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic ____21____ for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored in different ways, researchers are discovering new Rules. Scientists ____22____ people’s e-mails and online posts, and found that good news spread faster and farther than ____23____ and sad stories. “The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they ____24____. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.” Researchers studying word-of-mouth communication — e-mails, Webposts and reviews, face-to-face conversations found that it tended to be more positive than negative, but that didn’t ____25____ mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that ____26____, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague ____27____ the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the ____28____ than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this ____29____ feeling with others. Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that ____30____ negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book Contagious: Why Things Catch On. Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension (35’) Section A (15’) Directions: For each blank in the following passage 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. Once upon a time, much of the world was populated by wolves. They ranged all over the United States and Canada, Siberia and much of mainland Europe, as well as Great Britain, and if humans hadn’t come along, they would still be there ____31____. But man did come along, farmed the land, ____32____ the wolves killing their livestock (家畜) and so gradually drove them out of the homes that had once been theirs. Wolves are not ____33____ in our language and our literature, however. In fairy stories, they are seen as evil and dangerous, always ____34____ to eat people. Remember the time when Little Red Riding Hood thinks that a wolf is her grandmother? “What big teeth you’ve got, Grandmother?” she says, and the wolf, disguised (伪装) as her grandmother, shouts back, “All the better to eat you with, my dear!” If you really want to see how English-speaking humans think of the wolf, just look at the ____35____! “A wolf in sheep’s clothing” is not a pleasant person and a “wolf-whistle” is not a pleasant sound! Yet wolves are totally unlike the image we have of them from legend and language. For a start, they don’t ____36____ humans; indeed, they do their best to keep out of our way. They are very sociable animals, living in packs and looking after their young with a fondness that should make some humans ____37____ themselves. Far from wolf music being ____38____, the howl of the wolf — the cry of the whole pack — as the full moon rises in a star-bright sky, is one of the most beautiful sounds in nature. They are beautiful creatures which can run at speeds of up to 65 kph if they have to. They can jump up and run up rock faces like a cat. And when they do ____39____, their 42 large teeth are fearsomely effective. But the ____40____ remains that we love the lion, the king of the jungle, while we demonize (妖魔化) the wolf, one of the most beautiful animals in the world. Only ____41____ do writers treat them nicely; ____42____, a she-wolf is supposed to have fed the twins Remus and Romulus, who went on to found the city of Rome. And so, while man kills animals in their millions, often just for the fun of it, the wolf on the mountain, out in the wilderness, running over the Siberian wastes, represents a state of natural ____43____ that we do not know and can never obtain, even though we ____44____ it in our hearts. Perhaps that’s why, in the end, we ____45____ the wolf so much — for having something we can never get our hands on. 31. A. on a regular basis B. to a small extent C. in great numbers D. beyond certain limits 32. A. succeeded in B. agreed with C. worked out D. objected to 33. A. killers B. victims C. characters D. mistakes 34. A. reluctant B. ready C. unlikely D. sure 35. A. language B. behaviour C. teaching D. learning 36. A. avoid B. frighten C. attack D. protest 37. A. surprised at B. pleased with C. ashamed of D. interested in 38. A. peaceful B. loud C. musical D. soft 39. A. run B. kill C. jump D. cry 40. A. possibility B. mystery C. evidence D. fact 41. A. occasionally B. recently C. immediately D. finally 42. A. on the whole B. in addition C. even so D. for example 43. A. duty B. grace C. competition D. skill 44. A. dream of B. live by C. fight against D. learn from 45. A. cage B. keep C. hate D. notice Section B (20’) Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. 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 passage you have just read. (A) It Tastes Just Like Chicken Away from home, eating is more than just a way to keep your stomach full. It is a language all its own, and no words can say, “Glad to meet you… glad to be doing business with you…” quite like sharing a meal offered by your host. Clearly, mealtime is not the time for you to say, “Thanks, but no thanks.” Acceptance of the food on your plate means acceptance of host, country, and company. So, no matter how difficult it may be to swallow, swallow. Or, as one experienced traveller says, “Travel with a cast-iron stomach and eat everything everywhere.” Often, the food offered represents proudly your host country’s eating culture. What would Americans think of a French person who refused to take a bite of homemade apple pie or sirloin? Our discomfort comes not so much from the thing itself, it comes from our unfamiliarity with it. After all, an oyster has remarkably the same look as a sheep’s eye; and a first look at a lobster would remind almost anybody of a creature from a science fiction movie, not something you dip in butter and eat. By the way, in Saudi Arabia, sheep’s eyes are a famous dish and in parts of China, it’s bear’s paw soup. Can you refuse such food without being rude? Most experienced business travellers say no, at least not before taking at least a few bites. It helps, though, to slice any item very thin. This way, you minimize the taste and the reminder of where it came from. Or, “Swallow it quickly,” as one traveller recommends. “I still can’t tell you what sheep’s eyes taste like.” As for dealing with taste, the old line that “it tastes just like chicken” is often thankfully true. Even when the “it” is really rat or snake. Another useful piece of advice is not knowing what you are eating. What’s for dinner? Don’t ask. Avoid glancing into the kitchen or looking at English-language menus. Your host will be pleased that you are eating the food he offers, and who knows? Maybe it really is chicken in that soup. 46. The purpose of the article is to ________. A. introduce unfamiliar food B. share the writer’s personal experiences C. advise on how to politely refuse to eat foreign food D. suggest ways to overcome a cultural barrier on food 47. According to the writer, people hesitate at strange food mainly due to ________. A. the way it looks B. lack of information about it C. safety worries D. the unfamiliar atmosphere 48. From the article we can infer that ________. A. one should refuse strange food after a few bites B. English-language menus are not always dependable C. an American may feel comfortable with sirloin D. one needs a cast-iron stomach to travel in other cultures (B) Universal Quartet at HFZ Featuring Jessica Maurer (vocal) and Kentin (saxophone) from France, plus Tinho Pereira (guitar) and Leonardo Susi (percussion) from Brazil, this quartet is a harmonious mixing of three cities (Paris, Sao-Paulo, and Shanghai).

(C) On a summer in 1871, a young artist sat high upon a cliff in the American West. He was fascinated by the magnificence of the wilderness he saw. In the distance the Yellowstone River came crashing down a huge waterfall into a basin of sky blue. Below him lay enormous valley walls, violently carved out of the cream-yellow stone. To paint these wonders, the thin, strong man had endured a four-day ride on the newly built Northern Pacific Railroad. He was travelling as an artist on a survey team. The work he created as a result of this trip would introduce thousands of Americans to the glorious landscape of their own country — and help to establish Yellowstone as the first national park in the US. While the bearded figure sat gazing at the marvelous views around him, he wondered if he could capture on paper all the glories he saw. Alone with his watercolors and drawing pencils, 34-year-old Thomas Moran began to draw. The artist who did so much for the American West was born into a family of weavers in Bolton, England, in 1837. When Moran was seven, his family moved to Philadelphia, where they worked long hours at the loom (织布机). A sensitive young man, Moran spent his early adulthood improving his art without formal education. Day trips outside the city introduced him to the beauty of sloping hillsides and shining riverbeds, and he translated all these sights into oil paintings that grew more assured as time went by. He sold enough of these early works to keep going. By 1870 Moran was illustrating articles for Scribner’s Monthly magazine. One article, written by explorer Nathaniel Langford, described a mysterious region in the West called Yellowstone as “the place where hell bubbled up.” By reworking drawings made by members of Langford’s journey and using his own imagination, Moran drew a fantastic world of erupting geysers (喷涌的间歇泉) and other splendid views. 52. The description in paragraph 1 is meant to ________. A. reveal the danger of Moran’s trip B. stress the popularity of the Yellowstone C. show how remarkable the scenery is D. introduce Moran’s delicate painting skills 53. What can be learned from the passage about Thomas Moran? A. He discovered the Yellowstone by accident. B. He went to an art school to train as an artist. C. He appealed to the government to set up a national park. D. He drew the geysers before seeing them in person. 54. The word “illustrating” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”. A. giving examples to B. supplying pictures for C. explaining the themes of D. writing introductions to 55. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Man Who Gave US Yellowstone B. Thomas Moran and His Masterpieces C. A Unique and Adventurous Trip D. A National Park That Has Grand Views Ⅳ.
