12.Last Sunday,I was sitting in a French restaurant enjoying a meal when I got on a phone call from a friend I hadn't spoken to in a long time.In my enthusiasm and excitement,I talked quite louder than usual voice and in Spanish,my mother tongue.
A few minutes into the call,an old lady sitting at the table beside mine got up,seemingly offended,and asked the restaurant staff to relocate (重新安排) a table as far away as possible from this man who seemed to be impolite.
I sank in my seat out of embarrassment.I ended the call soon afterwards and felt the urge to apologize.Before getting up,I looked around to see where she was and she was at the table farthest away from me.I noticed that the lady was alone and staring out of the window.I found a tinge (氣息) of sadness or anxiety and perhaps a desire for aloneness and peace.But I had obviously destroyed it minutes earlier.
Right then I abandoned my plan for a conventional apologetic gesture.Seeing those funny smile cards in my wallet,I took one out and wrote some words to express my apology.On signing my restaurant bill,I asked a waiter to secretly charge the lady's meal to me and hand her the smile card instead of her bill.
Did she take it the wrong way,I wondered?Did she get confused?Did she refuse the anonymous (匿名的) offer?And so on.I just waited and felt nervous to learn the outcome.To my pleasant surprise,things turned out the best possible way.
The waiter approached me in a joy,telling me,"In the many times she had dined here before,I had never seen the old lady smile as she did when receiving the smile card and the $ 0bill.She thanked me even though I explained that someone else did the job."

25. The old lady changed her seat mainly because ofA.
A.the author's loud voice
B.her private phone call
C.the views out of the window
D.the restaurant staff's mistake
26. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A
A.The lady didn't have a nice mood and liked to stay alone.
B.The author went up to the old lady and apologized to her.
C.The old lady just moved to the farthest table to see outside.
D.The author didn't stop talking though he felt embarrassed.
27. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?B
A.An Old Lady Who Never Smiles
B.A Smile Card for a Sincere Apology
C.An Unpleasant Experience in France
D.A Misunderstanding Caused by Different Cultures.

分析 主要講述了我在打電話時的大嗓門打擾到了一位老婦人,后來我用一張卡片向她道歉的故事.

解答 25.A 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容I talked quite louder than usual voice and in Spanish,my mother tongue…and asked the restaurant staff to relocate (重新安排) a table as far away as possible from this man who seemed to be impolite.可知,我打電話的聲音太大聲,這個老婦人無法忍受,結(jié)合選項,故選A
26.A 推理判斷題.由第三.I noticed that the lady was alone and staring out of the window.I found a tinge (氣息) of sadness or anxiety and perhaps a desire for aloneness and peace可知.這個老婦人一個人坐著望著窗外,我感受到一絲悲傷的焦慮的氣息,她渴望一些平靜.結(jié)合選項,故選A
27.B 主旨大意題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,主要講述了我在打電話時的大嗓門打擾到了一位老婦人,后來我用一張卡片向她道歉的故事.結(jié)合選項,故選B

點評 本文是人物故事類閱讀理解.做這類題材閱讀理解時要求考生對文章通讀一遍,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關語句進行仔細分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關鍵句子的基礎上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù)

17.閱讀下面短文,在空白處填入1個適當?shù)膯卧~或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式.
SmilingSmile is a universal language,which is widely used throughout the world.(61)However,the meaning of a smile in different cultures may be different.Depending on different cultures,smiling can express joy and (62)amusement(amuse),but it can also indicate embarrassment.The following examples show this point of view:
In an attempt to be open and (63)friendly(friend),people in the United States smile a lot.Every one smiles at each other and this nonverbal communication shows being polite in the United States.But in China,smiling is not only (64)an expression of happiness,but also a way to avoid(65)being (be) embarrassed.Chinese people like smiling when they are embarrassed in order to avoid embarrassment.Smiling is a kind of good will but not sneer (嘲笑).For example:When a child (66)falls(fall) off from a bike,the adults in China may smile,(67)which is a kind of gentle encouragement and may not be a kind of impolite laugh.
Related(68)to the smile is the laugh.Also,different cultures have different(69)meanings(meaning) about laugh.Americans can enjoy a very heartfelt belly (腹部) laugh that comes from the deepest emotions while most Chinese may think(70)it/it's silly to laugh that way.

While you are travelling abroad,cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes,which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill-feeling between individuals. (36)E
●Touching Someone
(37)A In Mediterranean countries,if yo u don't touch someone's arm when talking to them or if you don't greet them with kisses or a warm hug,you'11be considered cold.But backslap(拍背)someone who isn't a family member or a good friend in Korea,and you'll make them uncomfortable.In Thailand,the head is considered sacred-never even pat a child on the head.
●Talking Over Dinner
In some countries,like China,Japan and some African nations,the food's the thing,so don't start chatting about your day's adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner.
(38)G It's not because your group is unfriendly,but because meal times are for eating,not
talking.
●Removing Your Shoes or Not
Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized,but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia,Hawaii,or the Pacific Islands and you'11be considered disrespectful.So,if you see a row of shoes at the door,start undoing your laces.(39)F
Once you are on the ground of a different country,remain highly sensitive to native behavior.(40)C And don't feel offended if something seems offensive-like queue jumping.
After all,this is a global village,and we are all very different.

A.Personal space varies as you travel the globe.    
B.Asians consider removing shoes impolite at home.    
C.Never be completely surprised by anything.    
D.The linguistic mistake means that someone is not fully expressing his idea.    
E.Look out for the following cultural mistakes and try to avoid them.
F.If not,keep the shoes on.

7.One of the blue whales,the largest animal alive today,has been caught making an appropriately big journey through the South Pacific.The whale was first recorded near the Galapa gos Island,west of Costa Rica.Years later,that same whale was photographed off the coast of Chile in South America,a new study reports.The two places are separated by some 5,200 Kilometers (3,200miles),which means it swam farther than the distance between New York and Los Angeles.
Scientists reported the whale's mammothjourney on June 11 in"Marine Mammal Science".
Blue whales are surprisingly difficult to study because they are found in all the world's oceans but live in deep waters.Moreover,the species nearly died out as a result of hunting a century ago.Populations are recovering thanks to the laws,but because there are so few of the animals,this speci es is still considered endangered.
To aid the species'recovery,scientists need to know more about where they travel,explains study leader Juan Pablo Torres-Florez.He is a whale researcher at Austral University of Chile in Valdivia.Understanding the whales'mi grations could help guide protection measures,he says.
In 1998,a group of scientists surveyed blue whales in the waters off islands known as the Gala pagos (Gah-LOP-ah-GOES) where they photographed the whales they saw.And,without hurting the animals,they also collected samples of some of the whales'meat which let them later look at the animals'DNA.A different group of scientists collected similar data from whales off the coast of Chile from 2002 to 2013.
To make the comparison job easier,scientists focus on the area around a whale's fin(鰭),which is on its back."Comparing those patterns we are able to identify if a whale is the same one we saw in different places or if the same whale is sighted during different years in the same place,"he says.
One whale showed up in the Gala pagos on November 6,1998,among a group of nine animals.It appeared again in Chile on February 23,2006.The photographs and the DNA matched.The whale was nicknamed"Isabela,"a combination of Torres-Florez's daughter and the island near which it was sighted.The whale's journey was at least 5,200 kilometers(3,200miles).That makes it the longest north-south journey ever recorded for a member of her species.
28.The underlined word"mammoth"is the nearest in meaning toB.
A.driven     B.huge     C.mysterious    D.natural
29.What do you know about the species of blue whale?C
A.They live in deep waters,so they can survive.
B.They have fins on the back so that they can be recognized.
C.They weren't protected effectively 100 years ago.
D.They were driven to the shallow sea and nearly died out.
30.The researchers have managed to get the species'DNAD.
A.form the whale named Isabela
B.by catching whale from the sea
C.to study which species it belongs to
D.using methods friendly to the whales
31.The study leader is Juan Pablo Torres-Florez,A.
A.who recorded the longest journey of blue whales
B.who got the whales'DNA in 1998
C.who first recognized blue whales'back fins
