A篇

Although Americans are well known for getting down to business, Indians working in overseas teams, MNCs, and BPOs should know the importance of small talk. While Indians have a true interest in talking to Americans and getting to know them, they also hesitate to do so for some reasons. Americans engage in less personal small talk than Indians. And the topics and questions used in English vary widely based on language differences and cultural differences. Here are three things to keep in mind while you are trying to make small talk with your American clients and colleagues.

Americans love to ask about, and then complain about the weather. They may talk about how the weather prevented them from having fun or how the weather supported their outdoor events. You can talk about the weather with them to begin a conversation. While talking, they always try to follow up on their answer by asking another open-ended question or make a statement, such as "Wow, that sounds like fun! " or "You went to St. Louis. In which state is that?" Be creative in your questions. Feel free to ask one or two, but not very personal ones about relations. Stick to the facts or events that were already referred to.

Sometimes, some words used in India will totally confuse an American. For example, Americans use the word "weekend" instead of "holiday" for Saturdays and Sundays (non-working days) , and use the word " vacation" or " days off" instead of " out-of-station" .

Always be interested, optimistic and happy. Talk with a smile! Vary the sound of your voice. Do not sound like a computer. If you are unsure how you sound, a good tip is to record yourself and listen to it later. Doing this helps you know how your voice sounds, and if you don't sound as you want to be heard, it may be time to work on enhancing your voice.

1. For Indians, having small talk with American colleagues is ___________.

A. boring

B. useless

C. important

D. interesting

2. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. What Americans like talking about in their daily life.

B. How Americans usually start a conversation with others.

C. Why talking about the weather is good to begin a conversation.

D. What people can say when having small talk with Americans.

3. What does the underlined word "enhancing" in the last paragraph mean?

A. Lowering.

B. Replacing.

C. Improving.

D. Examining.

4. What’s the writer's purpose in writing the passage?

A. To prove that having small talk is not very hard.

B. To explain why Indians hesitate to talk with Americans.

C. To show the differences between Americans and Indians.

D. To tell how to make small talk with American clients and colleagues.

B篇

Consider yourself warned. Sunday is April Fools' Day, a day when you are encouraged to play tricks on loved ones and even the people you meet at the bus stop. It's a strange tradition, but how did it get started?

Nobody is completely sure about the origin of this, the silliest of holidays. However, the urban legend experts at Snopes. com say that most experts owe it to Pope Gregory X Ⅲ, who, in the 1500s, gave the world the Gregorian calendar.

In 1562, the Gregorian calendar moved the first day of the year from April l to January l. Word did eventually get around, but some people were a bit slow to hear the news. These folks continued celebrating the new year on April l, unaware that they were now three months behind the times. These "April fools" were tricked by those who knew it. The tradition eventually made its way to the US.

And it's still going strong. Over the past week, Web searches on " April Fools' Day jokes" and " April Fools' Day tricks" have more than doubled, and related lookups for "easy April Fools' Day tricks" and "April Fools' Day jokes for work" have also increased greatly. Bottom line: Keep your guard up, especially if somebody offers you a word search puzzle. Lookups for "impossible April Fools' Day word searches" are up by 200%.

But really, there is no way to be certain you'll escape trickery because even companies are out to trick you on April l. In 1957, the BBC reported Swiss farmers were harvesting spaghetti(意大利面) from trees. And in 1996, Taco Bell took out ads in major newspapers announcing that the company had purchased the Liberty Bell and renamed it the Taco Liberty Bell.

5. What is the author's purpose of writing the text?

A. To teach us how to avoid being tricked.

B. To point out the best way to trick others.

C. To introduce the history of April Fools' Day.

D. To stress the importance of April Fools' Day.

6. What can we know from Paragraph 3?

A. April lst was once the first day of the year.

B. April Fools' Day was set by Pope Gregory XⅢ.

C. April Fools' Day has been celebrated for thousands of years.

D. Started in the US, April Fools' Day is popular around the world.

7. From the 4th paragraph, we can learn that_________.

A. people enjoy being April Fools

B. April Fools' Day is still very popular

C. those tricks used on April 1 are much the same

D. people like to celebrate April Fools' Day online

8. The examples listed in the last paragraph are used to show_________.

A. a modern farming technology

B. what newspapers without ads are like

C. how the Taco Liberty Bell got its name

D. how some companies trick the public

C篇

Twelve years ago, Rachel Miller was lost when it came to her son John. The 7-year-old was seriously disabled because of his autism(自闭症). Unable to speak, he withdrew from people at school and, worse, from his family.

In March 2003, Miller was introduced to Jeff Hancock, a one-on-one therapist(治疗师) for people with autism. Hancock was hired to be John's companion. The two would go people-watching at the mall on the weekend. Hancock chatted throughout their trips, even though John couldn't talk back.

Their relationship developed when Hancock introduced John to the Special Olympics. Whenever John was running or being active, he was smiling.

When John turned 12, Hancock introduced him to track at the Special Olympics. For the first three years, the pair just observed the sport by watching practices and events. Hancock worked daily with John, showing him everything, including where to sit, stand and walk, so he would understand the flow of the events.

Eventually, the lessons clicked, and John was off doing 50-meter sprints. But as John got older, he got stronger and faster. At 16, he was jumping hurdles and doing 800-meter races. Miller started seeing her son as a serious athlete.

In May 2014, John's training brought him to the Special Olympics State Summer Games in Orlando. The 18-year-old was competing in the 800 meters and the 110-meter hurdles.

As the 800 was setting up, Miller remembered, she pressed her face against the fence, anxiously waiting for John to compete. But as soon as the race started, all Miller saw was an athlete, her athlete.

"I just wanted to see the best performance. It seemed much more significant than whether he would ever speak or respond to me," she said.

John ended up winning the gold medal for the 800. Sports completely changed John, and Miller said that is because of Hancock. "A person with a disability can feel hopeless and isolated, and I think that can happen to parents, too. "

9. The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A. how Rachel Miller felt 12 years ago

B. how serious John's autism was

C. John wasn't good at communication

D. when John became seriously disabled

10. Miller considered John to be a serious athlete________.

A. in 2011

B. in 2012

C. in 2013

D. in 2014

11. When Miller saw John's performance in the 800, she felt________.

A. curious

B. amazed

C. delighted

D. upset

12. The passage is mainly carried out___________.

A. by giving examples

B. in a sad tone

C. in space order

D. in time order

D篇

In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics（策略）.

One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food（垃圾食品）later in their trip. In department stores, shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section; While the shop assistant is going back to fin d the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later.

Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wine went up.

When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decision in the first few second upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the poll through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.

13. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?

A. To save customers times.

B. To show they are high quality foods.

C. To help sell junk food.

D. To sell them at discount prices.

14. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?

A. Opening the store early in the morning.

B. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.

C. Inviting customers to play music.

D. Displaying British wines next to French ones.

15. What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To show dishonest business practices.

B. To introduces how businesses have grown from the past.

C. To report researches on customer behavior.

D. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.

The English language is a result of the invasions of the island of Britain over many hundreds of years. The invaders lived along the northern coast of Europe.

16 The Angles were a German tribe who crossed the English Channel. Later two more groups crossed to Britain. They were the Saxons and the Jutes. Through many years, the Saxons, Angles and Jutes mixed their different languages. The result is what is called Anglo-Saxon or old English.

The next great invasion of Britain came from the far north beginning about l100 years ago. People called Vikings came to the coastal areas of Britain. 17 Words like "sky", "leg" , "skull" , "egg" , "lift" and "take" are from the old languages of the far northern countries.

The next invasion of Britain took place more than 900 years ago, in 1066. ___18__ William the Conqueror led it.

The Normans were a French-speaking people from Normandy in the north of France. They became the new rulers of Britain. These new rulers spoke only French for several hundred years. It was the most important language in the world at that time. 19___ But the common people of Britain still spoke old English.

Old English took many words from the Norman French. Some of these include "damage", "prison" and "marriage". The French language used by the Norman rulers greatly changed the way English was spoken by 800 years ago. 20 Middle English sounds like modern English. But it is very difficult to understand now. The history of the English language continues as Middle English becomes Modern English, which is spoken today.

A. History experts call this invasion the Norman Conquest.

B. It was the language of educated people.

C. English became what language experts call Middle English.

D. Therefore most common people speak the language.

E. Few people spoke Middle English at that time.

F. Many English words used today come from these ancient Vikings.

G. The first invasions were by a people called Angles about l500 years ago.

高一阅读限时测验 姓名：______ （A） While students in Hainan are quite used to clear skies, Beijing teenagers are not so lucky. As another warm winter approaches, the city can expect the normal clouds of smoke caused by air pollution. But things could start to get better soon. The government is co-operating with a US-based environmental protection agency to update existing buses and trucks with clean fuel technology. The new technology could reduce air pollutants in existing diesel vehicles （柴油机） by 40 per cent. The programme will begin by testing buses in Beijing to see if the technology can be applied to them. “ Weencourage the development of public transportation. But at the same time we need to reduce pollution from them, ” said an official. Efforts are being made to improve the capital ' s environment with tighter controls 排放m）issions （ Some heavily polluting factories and construction sites, such as those owned by the steel giant Shougang Group, have been asked to cut production in November and December or be closed. Beijing was the third polluted city in the world at the end of last century, according to the UN. But thanks to recent measures, the capital has made some progress. Last year 224 clear days were rated as having good air quality. In 1998 the air quality index （指数） gave just 100 days as good. “I am glad to see an improvement, ” said a Senior 1 boy living in the northwest of Beijing. to other places, the air quality of Beijing is still worrying though. I hate the pollution. Once I was riding my bike in the morning when I almost had a traffic accident because I couldn ' tasyeferoamcar only metr me in frog. ” In early October, the skies were covered by such a thick fog that a display show by the visiting French air force was called off. Rapid development, industry, traffic fumes （烟） and sandstorms from the desert all contribute to the city ' s bad air. 1. The passage is mainly about ______ ?

Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can?t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.” Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don?t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!” In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging(摇摆) from one high steel pole to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying. That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we?ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars. “Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hold the bar with my other elbow （肘）. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung （横档）I reached. I?ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open. One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.” For a long time, I didn?t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you?ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears. 21. Which can be used to describe Mom?s attitude when she made the child peel potatoes? ______ A. Cruel. B.
