Ⅰ.阅读理解 A The US teenager Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas.However，when he learned that the school district was going to offer a putonghua class，he quickly changed his mind. “I thought putonghua would be more beneficial than Latin，” said Cheatham，who is now in his second year of studying the language.He speaks putonghua to order food at Chinese restaurants and read social media posts from his Chinese­speaking friends. While it is a difficult language to master，the high school junior，who plans to study computer engineering，thinks it will be important for his career.“Chinese is a good language to know，especially with China becoming a growing power，” he said. Many experts agree that proficiency in a language spoken by more than a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy.“People are looking at China as our next economic competitor，and interest in putonghua is growing fast，” said Marty Abbott，executive director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.“We're seeing it in all parts of the country.” Abbott estimates that as many as 100，000 students are now studying putonghua throughout the US，in public and private schools.She said the US government has designated (指定) putonghua as a “critical need” language and provided professional development programs for teachers.“Our government wants to increase our language competency for national security and economic competitiveness，” Abbott said. At the same time，the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes established in many US states.For example，the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas at Dallas sponsors (赞助) Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools，where tens of thousands of students are learning putonghua.

Social psychologists have long wondered where people tend to lie the most—that is，in person or through some other media of communication.A 2004 study was among the first to investigate the connection between deception(欺骗)rates and technology.Jeff Hancock's team had some students report the number of social interactions they had through face­to­face communication，the phone，instant messaging and email over seven days.Students also reported the number of times they lied in each social interaction.The results suggest people tell the most lies on the phone and the fewest through email，and are broadly in line with a “feature­based model”．According to the model，specific aspects of technology—whether people can communicate back and forth smoothly，whether the messages are fleet and whether communicators are distant—predict where people tend to lie the most. When Hancock conducted his study，few students had a social media account.The smartphone was in its early stages.What would his results look like nearly 20 years later? In a new study，I recruited(招募)250 people and studied interactions from more forms of technology.The participants recorded their social interactions and the number of interactions with a lie over seven days，across face­to­face communication，social media，the phone，the text，video chat and email.The results show people seem to lie according to the “feature­based model”．And people tell the most lies on the phone or on video chat.Deception rates might also differ across technology because people use some forms of technology for certain social relationships.For example，people might only email their colleagues，while the phone and video chat might be a better fit for more personal relationships. People often believe just because we use technology to interact，honesty is harder to come by.Not only is this view misguided，but it is also unsupported by enough evidence.The belief that lying is common in the digital age just doesn't match the data. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们在不同沟通方式中的说谎情况。 5．What is the function of the first paragraph? A．To illustrate people's ways of social interactions. B．To introduce people's lying in ways of communication. C．To demonstrate the increasing popularity of social media. D．To reveal the tendency for people to tell lies on social media. 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Social psychologists...connection between deception(欺骗) rates and technology...they lied in each social interaction”可知，第一段提到给朋友发短信说谎、在网上简历中谎报身高、发邮件说谎是为了引出人们在不同沟通方式中说谎的情况。 答案　B 6．What do the studies by Hancock and the author have in common? A．Their participants were all students. B．They aimed to reduce deception rates. C．Their results are consistent with a certain model. D．They analyzed the same kind of social relationships. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The results...in line with a ‘feature­based model’”和第四段中的“The results...according to the ‘feature­based model’”可知，Hancock和作者的研究的共同点是他们的结果都与feature­based model一致。 答案　C 7．What can be inferred from the author's study? A．Lying can greatly influence friendships. B．Online communication contains the most lies. C．Close people are more likely to lie to each other. D．Deception rates can be reduced by using technology. 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“people tell the most lies on the phone...the phone and video chat might be a better fit for more personal relationships”可知，人们通过电话或视频聊天说谎最多，而电话和视频聊天可能更适合处理更私人的关系。由此可推知，关系亲近的人之间更可能说谎。 答案　D 8．What does the author think of people lying by using technology? A．It isn't acceptable among friends. B．It worsens interpersonal relationships. C．It is in line with advances in technology. D．It doesn't happen as frequently as expected. 解析　推理判断题。最后一段中的“The belief that lying is common in the digital age just doesn't match the data”表明作者认为说谎在数字时代很普遍的观点与数据不符，即在使用科技的沟通方式中说谎并没有人们想象中那么频繁。 答案　D Ⅱ.七选五 Different Cultures The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 1 The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries：China and India.Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers — the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. 2 When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture，another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilization.This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. 3 Like the Chinese culture，the European culture also crossed waters.When the British settled down in America，their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean.So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European culture a lot. 4 Take the language system for example.In the East，most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system.Other causes like human race difference count as well.But what's more，due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West，the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries.So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干扰) from the other. The differences are everywhere. 5 But different cultures make the world of the 21st century more colourful.The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human beings.It ought to be the motivation of our going farther. A．Let us work together to keep a variety of culture. B．One important thing is to learn about other cultures. C．And these two are well­known as the base of the European culture. D．At the same time，some other differences add to the cultural differences. E．This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole. F．They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles. G．They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了东西方文化的差异及其形成的原因。 1．解析　空前一句提到东西方文化确实有很大的差异，下文应说明东西方文化不同的原因，故E项符合语境。 答案　E 2．解析　根据空前一句可知，两种文化分别由中国的黄河和印度的印度河所孕育，由此可知，这里应介绍河流对于文化的影响，故F项符合语境。 答案　F 3．解析　上文说这种文明后来发展成为古希腊和古罗马文明，C项(众所周知，这两种文明正是欧洲文化的基础)是对上文的总结，符合语境。 答案　C 4．解析　空后一句“Take the language system for example.”是以语言系统来举例说明文化间的差异，由此可知，本段主要是以其他方面的不同来说明文化的不同，故D项符合语境。 答案　D 5．解析　根据空前一句“The differences are everywhere.”以及空后的内容讲述文化的不同对世界的影响可知，G项符合语境。 答案　G Ⅲ.语法填空 In Lanzhou，a group of scientists from China 1. other countries are working together to help strengthen knowledge and appreciation of China's ancient heritage.They are recording and collecting digital images of cultural relics from the Mogao Grottoes，a key stop along the Silk Road throughout China's ancient history.Nearly 500，000 high quality digital photos 2.
