He was usually smoking or drinking, and looking rather unhappy.One day, while I was driving past him with my 1 , I decided to wave
19、 at him with a lot of excitement. 2 , when he noticed me waving at him, he looked a bit surprised. Then, I saw his hand go up and he waved back.“ 3 did you wave at him?” my daughter asked.I told her its just an act of kindness that doesnt 4 anything. It gives both him and me a feeling of joy. My dau
20、ghter replied that she felt a bit uncomfortable to wave to a stranger, but next time she would try it as well.We lived close to the old man, 5 we saw him rather often. Whenever we drove by, both of us would start waving at him and, pretty soon, the old man started 6 at everyone who passed by his hou
21、se.One time, my daughters friend came to visit and she told my daughter that she saw this strange old man near our home wave at her very 7 . She mentioned that she waved back, although she didnt know him, and it felt really good.As soon as my daughter heard this, she told her friend the 8 of how all
22、 the waving began. Her friend answered, “Tell your mom thats really cool!”Other friends had similar (类似的) 9 .

24、y9. A. giftsB. notesC. thoughtsD. books10. A. easyB. funnyC. unusualD. special六、 阅读理解 (30)ADifferent gestures (手势) mean different things in different countries. Sometimes a gesture that is polite in one country is not polite in another and should not be used. Different meanings of gestures can also
25、cause problems in understanding what another person is trying to say. A gesture that many people do not understand is one that uses the thumb (拇指). Most westerners will sometimes show that they like something by holding out a closed hand with the thumb lifting in the air. This is called give someone
26、 or something “the thumb up”. Often, only one thumb is used, so it should be “the thumb up”.The usual explanation for the origin (起源) of this gesture is not really correct. It says that in ancient (古代) Roman times, when people were pleased with the way a gladiator (角斗士) hand fought, they showed thei
27、r thumbs up. When they were not pleased, they gave the thumbs down. When a gladiator was given the thumbs up, the emperor allowed him to live. When a gladiator was given the thumbs down, the emperor ordered him to be killed.The truth is, however, it was translated into a wrong meaning by mistake. If
28、 people wanted to save the gladiator, they put out their hands and hid their thumbs in their hands. If they wanted the gladiator to die, they pointed their thumbs straight at him.1. Westerns lift their thumbs when they _ .A. want someone to dieB. want to go to a play groundC. like somethingD. want s
29、omeone to live2. Most people think that in ancient Rome, “thumbs up” meant that _ .A. the emperor could dieB. the people wanted the gladiator to liveC. the fighting could continueD. the people were not pleased3. In fact, if people wanted a gladiator to live, they _ .A. hid their thumbsB. pointed the
30、ir thumbs downC. lifted their thumbs upD. pointed their thumbs at him4. From the article we know that _ .A. different gestures have different meanings in different countriesB. a friendly gesture is always the same in different countriesC. the meaning of “thumbs up” is the same both now and the pastD
31、. we should often use the thumbs5. The main idea of this article is about _ .A. gestures around the worldB. closed thumbsC. gestures in ancient RomeD. the thumbs-up gestureBAround the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been peo
32、ple who have looked for adventure - those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who try to find an immediate thrill (毛骨悚然) from a risky activity which may only last a few mi
33、nutes or even seconds.I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 meters above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tried to your ankles (脚踝). You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rop
34、e stops you from hitting the ground. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs (峭壁).Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists (心理学家) suggest that it
35、 is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Life, according to many people, offers little excitement. They live and work safely and comfortably. The answer for some of these people is to try to find danger in activities such as bungee jumping.6. Which of the following is the bes
36、t title for this test?A. Bungee jumping: a dangerous sportB. Bungee jumping: an exciting sportC. Dangerous sports: what and how?D. Dangerous sports: what and why?7.

38、sportsC. for (支持) dangerous sportsD. neither for nor against dangerous sportsCLadies and Gentlemen, thank you. Well, ni-hao. (Laughter) It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me. Im here today because I know that our fu
39、ture depends on connections like these among young people like you across the world.Thats why when my husband and I travel abroad, we dont just visit palaces and parliaments (国会) and meet with heads of countries. We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you, because we believ
40、e that relationships between countries arent just about relationships between governments or leaders - theyre about relationships between people, particularly young people. So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational change for students, but also as an active part of Americas foreign
41、 policy (政策).Through the wonders of modern technology (科技), our world is more connected than ever before. Ideas can cross different countries with the click of a mouse. Companies can do business and compete with companies across the world. And we can text, email, skype with people in the world.So st
42、udying abroad isnt just a fun way to spend a time of learning; it is quickly becoming the key to success in our times.
