Tribes (部落) in the area have developed different styles of art and architecture that are suited to the climate and available materials and based on their traditions.‎ Gallery A: Photographs of Traditional West African Architecture(建筑)‎ This section shows historical and contemporary photographs of traditional West African architecture. Of particular interest are the photographs of the Dogon village. The design of the Dogon village is based on the human figure. Certain types of buildings are placed in particular areas according to the Dogon’s complex philosophical(哲学上的) tradition. For example, the men’s houses are placed in the “head” of the village, the leader’s house is in the “chest,” and the women’s houses are in the “hands.”‎ Gallery B: West African Masks The art of mask making is well developed in West Africa. Masks are important to West African traditions and have clear social, political, and economic roles. However, most masks are worn only at particular times or on special occasions. For example, among the Dan and the Kota, certain people wear special masks to show their power when they act as judges and policemen within the community. Among the Bambara of Mali, headdresses are worn during planting and ‎ harvest celebrations.‎ Gallery C: West African Sculptures West African sculptures are made from materials such as metal or wood. They are based on tribal traditions and quite different. The Dogon are especially known for making figures of ancestors. They believe their ancestors, called Nommo, came down from the sky at the beginning of time. Nommo figures are often shown with their hands reaching out to the sky. The collection contains several wonderful examples of Nommo sculptures.‎ ‎21. What is special about Dogon houses?‎ A. They are shaped like human beings. ‎ B. They are designed by the village leader.‎ C. They are grouped according to tradition.‎ D. They have many photographs inside them.‎ ‎22. West African masks ________.‎ A. have recently developed B. play many different roles C. are mainly worn at harvest time D. show the everyday life of the Dan ‎23. What do we know about the Dogon people?‎ A. They are afraid of Nommo figures. ‎ B. They make statues of their ancestors.‎ C. They believe they will return to the sky. ‎ D. They straighten their arms to show respect.‎ B Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I hate small talk! " the minute you walk into a party? If so, you might be an introvert(内向的人). Introverts hate to chat about "small" subjects with people. They are fine when you talk one on one but seem to get lost in the crowd when there's a group around.‎ If you are talking to an introvert, you might find that your first few conversations go one of two ways. Either they’ll seem to get bored and not say much or they’ll seem to skate over small talk in favor of more in-depth topics. What you need to know is that the introvert is not being rude. It is just that they don’t like small talk. Here’s why.‎ Small talk serves as a gateway toward deeper conversation. Some introverts don’t realize that small talk will actually help them get to the bigger topics. You don’t need to stay on small talk forever. However, sometimes introverts feel that even the short amount of time it takes to get into the real conversation is a waste of time. Small talk is very fast. Someone says something and this should be followed up with a quick response. But introverts like to chew on their words before ‎ saying them aloud. Before they answer, they'll mull over different thoughts.‎ Small talk by its very nature invites more people to join in. The more people who join the conversation, the more the introvert will tend to step back. As a result, they’ll be quiet. Small talk is about throwing out subjects in the hope that one or more of them can be turned into a common point of interest.‎ The listening involved with small talk is not in-depth. The purpose is about listening "lightly" so you can figure out the right topics to spend some time on. Introverts tend to be great listeners, but they use active listening rather than light listening. This makes them wonderful friends, but can also make it difficult for new people to understand why they're so quiet.‎ ‎24. How do introverts respond to a chat?‎ A. They try to avoid it. B. They get excited about it.‎ C. They give it their full attention. D. They focus on unimportant topics.‎ ‎25. What do we know about small talk?‎ A. It goes slowly. B. It costs people a lot of time.‎ C. It contributes to deeper topics. D. It provides much useful information.‎ ‎26. What does the underlined phrase “mull over” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ A. Give up. B. Forget about. ‎ C. Write down. D. Think over.‎ ‎27. How can we become a good talker in small conversations?‎ A. Figure out the deep meaning of questions.‎ B. Think twice before answering questions.‎ C. Try to find shared topics.‎ D. Be a quiet listener.‎ CYour chair is your enemy.‎ It doesn’t matter if you go running every morning, or you’re a regular at the gym. If you spend most of the rest of the day sitting, you are putting yourself at increased chance of heart disease, cancers and an early death. In other words, even if you exercise energetically, sitting for long periods is bad for you. ‎ So what’s wrong with sitting? One is that sitting is one of the most passive things you can do. You burn more energy by chewing gum than you do sitting still in a chair. Compared to sitting, ‎ standing in one place is hard work. To stand, you have to tense your leg muscles, and the muscles of your back and shoulders. While standing, you often change from leg to leg. All of this burns energy. ‎ For many people, weight gain is a matter of slow increase. Thus, a little more time on your feet today and tomorrow can easily make the difference between remaining thin and getting fat. So part of the problem with sitting a lot is that you don’t use as much energy as those who spend more time on their feet. This makes it easier to gain weight, and makes you more likely to suffer from the health problems that fatness often brings.‎ Some people have advanced solutions: replace your sit-down desk with a stand-up desk. Make sure that your television can only operate if you are practicing on an exercise bike. Replace your office chair with a therapy(治疗) ball: this uses more muscles and more energy than a normal chair, because you have to support your back and work to keep balanced. But whatever you choose, know this. It is clear: be careful of your chair. ‎ ‎28. The main purpose of writing this passage is to __________. ‎ A. suggest sitting less. B. advise exercising often. ‎ C. avoid gaining weight. D. escape standing more. ‎ ‎29. From this passage, we know that _________. ‎ A. less exercise will reduce the chance of having disease.‎ B. taking exercise regularly but sitting more will do good. ‎ C. standing burns nearly as much energy as sitting still does.‎ D. energy-burning activities may help you enjoy good health.‎ ‎30. The underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refers to __________. ‎ A. gaining weight. B. burning energy. ‎ C. sitting too much. D. standing more. ‎ ‎31. A therapy ball is mentioned in the last paragraph to _________. ‎ A. tell us to walk while working in the office. ‎ B. suggest a way to settle the sitting problem. ‎ C. support our back and keep us balanced. ‎ D. provide a better cure for our backache.‎ D A British-designed electronic newspaper which is made of plastic and no larger than a table mat(垫子)  is to enter the market next year. The new newspaper was invented by Cambridge University scientists. They came up with the idea of replacing silicon chips with plastic ones. It is being developed by Plastic Logic, a company based in Dresden, Germany. "It looks just like a table mat, and is as light as a magazine. But you can download hundreds of newspapers at the touch of a button, and read them quite safely," the BBC reported on its website. The plastic paper is produced in a safe "clean room" at the Plastic Logic factory, which opened last month as the world's first plastic-electronics factory. Every part of the product, from the screen to the electronics, is made of plastic. And it is described by engineer Dean Baker as "top quality". Baker says the plastic newspaper could help solve the problem of waste material associated with traditional newspapers. "There's a huge amount of waste. We have paper distributed（分发）all over the country each day and then thrown into the bin. This doesn't need to happen any more. All of the copies could be made electronically and stored on a single reader with the appearance of paper." he says. People can expect to see the plastic newspaper next year, the BBC says ‎ 32. According to the first paragraph, the electronic newspaper  . A. is made of silicon chips B. is smaller than a table mat C. was designed by more than one person D. was developed by a company in England 33. What's special about the electronic newspaper compared with traditional ones? A. It looks like a table mat B. It's as light as a magazine. C. People can download and read lots of newspapers on it. D. People can receive the BBC report at the touch of a button. 34. What can we learn about the electronic newspaper from the last two paragraphs? A. It will save a huge amount of paper. B. It will be harder to distribute than before. ‎ ‎ C. It will have no visual appearance. D. It will produce a huge amount of plastic waste. 35. What's people's attitude towards the electronic newspaper according to the BBC? A. Hopeful.                 B. Doubtful. C. Disappointed.              D. Worried 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5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。（注意E涂AB, F涂AC, G涂AD）‎ The late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, once said, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.”‎ Mandela understood that our mother language is very close to us. For people who speak in an ancient tongue as their mother language, it's the main connection with their ancestors. 36 And it is also how they imagine the future.‎ ‎ 37 Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died out. Some languages are now spoken only by a few people, like Yaghan in Chile. Africa and South America are also places where many languages are dying.‎ Why are humans speaking fewer languages than before? 38 Nowadays, it's more useful to speak certain languages like English rather than others. This has killed some languages, usually the ones spoken by fewer or less influential people.‎ ‎ 39 The United Nations has set February 2lst as International Mother Language Day. The organization wants people to pay more attention to dying languages.‎ This work is very important. The American writer Rita Mae Brown wrote, “ 40 It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.”‎ A. Language is the road map of a culture.‎ B. Their language helps them keep their traditions.‎ C. So it's a serious thing that a language disappears.‎ D. Some children don't want to learn their local language.‎ E. The answer has something to do with globalization(全球化).‎ F. But some people aren't prepared to accept a world with fewer and fewer languages.‎ G. Globalization is a hot topic recently.‎ 第三部分 完形填空（共20小题;每小题1分，满分20分）‎ ‎  I once worked at an emergency veterinary(兽医的))hospital. One day, a(n) 41 woman arrived who carried her small dog Princess wrapped in a bloody blanket. The Chief of Staff and I took the dog to the 42 room. As we examined her we grew less 43 . “There are a lot of cuts, but nothing major has been damaged!”‎ My task was now to 44 to Princess’s mom---the dog owner. “The good news is,” I said, “ that it is much 45 than it looks.” I then told her the 46 news---a several hundred-dollar estimate for Princess's care. She wanted to know if she could stay in the office and use our telephone to make some 47 .‎ Shortly afterwards, we became very 48 . Our receptionist walked into the exam room, 49 a twenty-dollar bill over her head, and said. “Some lady just 50 me this and said it was for Princess. What am I supposed to do with it?” Before we could 51 we heard our bell ringing at the front desk. A woman and three children were there to give some money to Grandma. Next 52 a young woman. …The man whose dog 53 Princess arrived and laid a one-hundred-dollar bill on the counter. He wanted to 54 apologize to Grandma, so I went to get her from the 55 . I told her that all of her children and grandchildren were in the lobby(大厅) contributing 56 to Princess. She laughed and told me that she had 57 children or grandchildren of her own. She said, “Everybody in the neighborhood has always called me Grandma ---I’ve always tried to 58 all of them as best as I could over the years.” ‎ Our Chief of Staff went into the lobby and thanked everyone. He said that since our lobby couldn't hold anyone else, he figured we had enough money! Princess 59 beautifully. My heart swells every time I think of the 60 neighborhood that came out to take care of the grandma who had always tried to take care of them.‎ ‎41.‎ A. patient B. elderly C. generous ‎ D. sensitive ‎42.‎ A. living B. music C. exam D. dining ‎43.‎ A. interested B. confident C. excited D. nervous ‎44.‎ A. apologize B. speak C. turn D. complain ‎45.‎ A. better ‎ B. less C. stronger D. bigger ‎46.‎ A. cool B. strange C. rare D. bad ‎47.‎ A. suggestions B. calls ‎ C. orders ‎ D. gifts ‎48.‎ A. tired B. sleepy C. busy D. happy ‎49.‎ A. waving B. throwing C. dropping ‎ D. playing ‎50.‎ A. gave B. wrote C. sold D. lent ‎51.‎ A. check B. answer ‎ C. prepare D. leave ‎52.‎ A. returned B. escaped C. came D. rose ‎53.‎ A. attacked B. missed C. discovered D. envied ‎ ‎54.‎ A. automatically B. casually C. occasionally D. personally ‎55.‎ A. hospital B. office C. lobby ‎ D. exit ‎56.‎ A. foods B. clothes ‎ C. money D. time ‎57.‎ A. some B. no C. many ‎ D. other ‎58.‎ A. understand B. persuade C. teach D. attend ‎59.‎ A. recovered B. played ‎ C. grew ‎ D. smiled ‎60.‎ A. normal ‎ B. honest C. entire D. current ‎ 第II卷（非选择题 共45分）‎ 注意事项：‎ 1、 用黑色笔将答案写在答题纸上，直接答在试卷上不得分。‎ 第四部分：语言运用 第一节：语法填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 阅读下面短文，根据上下文填入适当的词语（只限一词），或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空（不多于三词），并将答案填写在答题卡上标号的相应位置。‎ In China, the history of people planting and using bamboo can date back to as far as 7000 years.
