It is a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It is a question that often doesn’t have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine.”, even if the person’s friend is not fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello”or “Hi”. Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?”, the other person might be thinking, “ No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong…”. But it isn’t very polite to disagree strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure… ”. It’s a nice way to say that you don’t agree with someone. People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse, “someone is at the door.” “something is burning on the stove. ” The excuses might be real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person. When they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s also a part of the game of language. 21. When a person wants to disagree with someone, it is polite to say “______.” A. you’re wrong. I disagree. B. I’m not sure. C. I’m sure I disagree. D. No, I disagree. 22.When a person say “I’ve to go now. Someone is at the door. ”, he or she may be________. A. giving an excuse B. hurting someone’s feeling C. talking to a person at the door D. going to another place 23. One of the rules of the game of language is probably “_________.” A. always say what you mean B. Being polite is the best policy. C. Don’t disagree with people D. Never say exactly what you’re thinking B The Hearst Castle Hearst Castle is a park on the central California coast and a National Historic Landmark.

C More and more people have been reported to be attacked by sharks in Hawaii specifically in Maui. Researchers from the Land and Natural Resources Department of Hawaii conducted a study to find out the reason behind the alarming increase of these incidents and came up with various explanations. In order to keep track and record the data on the behavior and activities of sharks living around Oahu and Maui islands and open seas, some tiger sharks were tagged and monitored. Tech Times reported that Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology(HIMB) headed by Charles Meyer found a trend on the locations where sharks prefer to stay. They found that these sharks preferred waters rich in coral reefs filled with foods for them. Another contributing factor to higher visibility of sharks on waters usually visited by human is the global warming. Since temperature on the sea floor increased faster than the previous years, sharks tend to find and stay on places where human also find comfortable. Humans may also be to blame for the rise in shark attack incident increase, as people tend to stay longer in the ocean nowadays. Man also engages in a lot of activities in the ocean, such as swimming, spear fishing, surfing and kayaking. Avoiding swimming in waters and near dead animals is the simplest significant ways on how man can protect himself from the sharks. Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology advised ocean lovers not to think of fear when thinking about sharks but instead think of ways on how to protect themselves. Swimming in the ocean is swimming in a wilderness environment. Sharks are part of this environment. We have to accept that they’re there and take measures to avoid encounters, which are going to occur from time to time. 28.why did the researchers conduct a study? A. To report people were attacked by sharks. B. To give people serious information. C. To warn people not to get close to sharks. D. To provide the public reasonable explanations. 29. what did Charles Meyer find about tiger sharks? A. These sharks live on Oahu and Maui island. B. It is not easy to tag and monitor tiger sharks. C. These sharks love to stay where coral reefs are rich. D. There are so many locations for the tiger sharks. 30.which is the reason for sharks attacking humans? A. Climate change has a great impact on them . B. Sharks can hardly find food in deepwater. C. Humans have damaged their usual habitat. D. Sharks are annoyed with the swimmers. 31.Where can we probably read the passage? A. In a travel magazine. B. In a story book. C. In a newspaper. D. In a research report. D More than nine out of ten young people expose themselves to the blue light from smartphones before bed, causing problems with sleep. A new survey also shows more than 28 million people in the UK regularly get no more than seven hours sleep a night. Prof Richard Wiseman, who commissioned the YouGov poll described the findings as “extremely worrying”. Of the 2,149 adults questioned, 78% said they used electronic devices before going to bed. This rose to 91% among the 18 to 24-year-olds questioned in the survey. Getting less than seven hours sleep a night is below the recommended guidelines, and is associated with a range of problems, including an increased risk of weight gain, heart attacks, diabetes and cancer. “The blue light from these devices suppresses( 压 制 ) the production of the sleep—inducing hormone melatonin, so it’s important to avoid them before bedtime,” said Prof Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire. Everyone needs different amounts of sleep, but adults are generally thought to require a minimum of seven to eight hours a night. Teenagers are recommended to get more, about nine hours. The proportion( 比 例 ) of people thought to be getting too little sleep has risen by a fifth since a “bedroom poll” conducted last year by the National Sleep Foundation. Last week revealed opticians were warning that the overuse of smartphones may be increasing people’s risk of eye damage. Optician Andy Hepworth said, “Blue violet light is potentially harmful to the back of your eyes.” So over a long period of time it can damage your eyes. When you’re looking at a smartphone, the light peaking out of that is blue violet. The news came as a survey of 2,000 people suggests under-25s check their smartphones 32 times a day. 32. The purpose of the passage is to ________. A. stress that people shouldn’t use smartphones B. remind people of enough sleep C. ask people not to sleep too much D. tell people not to use smartphones before bed 33.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. According to a new survey, more than 28 million people in the UK get more than seven hours sleep a night B. More than 90% of young people expose themselves to the blue light from smartphones before bed. C. Of the 2,149 adults questioned , 91% said they used electronic devices before going to bed. D. The news came as a survey of 2,000 people suggests under-25s check their smartphones 30 times a day. 34. According to what Andy Heoworth said , the overuse of smartphones may be increasing people’s risk of _________. A. weight gain B. cancer C. eye damage D. heart attacks 35.Teenagers are generally thought to get sleep of _____a night. A. about 9 hours B. 7—8 hours C. less than 7 hours D. more than 10 hours 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项 中有两项为多余选项。 Whether you are a native speaker or are learning English as a second language, you can benefit from learning how to improve English language skills.
