They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.‎ In Singapore Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.‎ In the United Arab Emirates In the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.‎ In Switzerland The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.‎ ‎21. The passage is mainly about ________.‎ ‎ A. communication types B. customs and social manners ‎ C. the workplace atmosphere D. living conditions and standards ‎22. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?‎ ‎ A. They put efficiency in the first place.‎ ‎ B. They dislike face-to-face communication.‎ ‎ C. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.‎ ‎ D. They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.‎ ‎23. In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?‎ ‎ A. When meeting the host alone.. B. When greeting seniors ‎ C. When attending a presentation. D.When dining with business partners.‎ ‎24. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?‎ ‎ A. In Brazil. B. In Singapore.‎ ‎ C. In the United Arab Emirate. D. In Switzerland.‎ ‎ B One winter night over 20 years ago, as most of the people were asleep in bed, there came a baby’s cry, which seemed to be somewhere around an old granny’s cottage. The old woman, who had been living alone in the wooden house, got up and listened carefully; the crying grew harder. So she decided to go and have a closer look. A ‎ new-born baby was found crying by the roadside not far from her house. But there was nobody around. Obviously someone had abandoned the baby to the care of one of the families here. ‎ Picking it up in her arms, the kind granny hurried home. When she unwrapped the baby, a small bag dropped to the ground. Within it was a slip of paper reading: December 21. Obviously it was the exact time the baby girl arrived in the world. ‎ For days after being brought to the old granny’s, the baby was taken good care of by feeding on milk powder. At the time the baby girl came into her house, the old granny was over 70 years old. “Oh, dear! I couldn’t keep the girl like this. What if I died? I might not live that long to see the girl fully grow up. I must find someone to have this baby attended to.” thought the old granny. ‎ News got round quickly and it was not long before Mrs King heard about it. ‎ ‎“What a lovely little beggar! I like it and will take it over,” said Mrs King. Mr King expressed no disagreement. Instead, he thought the girl would add to their happiness. But he expressed his disgust to such behavior as to have the baby deserted in so terrible a way. Had nobody happened to hear the baby’s cry that night, it would not have survived. Or, if nobody was willing to take it, she would be left to the tender mercies of social service. ‎ ‎“Who but a cruel father and mother would have left their own baby lying in the cold without care!” “but it was the gift that God gave me. We must take it home to be brought up.” said Mr King, more happy than angry now. And everyone could see that the small baby had become the delight of the family. However, as a person who had been retired for 2 years, bringing up a girl of so young an age was a challenge. ‎ Now, more than twenty years have passed. The girl has been in college majoring in infantile(幼儿) education in a normal university. She has already known things about herself but thought she was lucky and happy and determined to study harder to express her gratitude to her adopted parents and all the others who have been contributing to her life.‎ 25. According to the passage, who was the first to take care of the deserted baby girl?‎ A. Mr King B. Mrs King C. The old granny D. A retired old man 25. The old granny said she couldn’t keep the baby because________.‎ A. she believed she was going to die B. she was over 70 years old C. she had to find someone to take care of the baby ‎ D. she was afraid that she might not live long enough to bring the baby up 26. The underlined sentence means that ___________.‎ A. it was cruel of people to have their own babies deserted.‎ B. a cruel father and mother usually deserted their own baby.‎ C. Mr King wanted to know who were the parents that deserted their own baby D. nobody but a cruel father and mother was allowed to desert a baby 27. From the passage we can infer that__________.‎ A. The girl chose infantile education as her major in college because she was once deserted ‎ B. If the baby girl hadn’t met the granny, she would have become a little beggar C. Mr King was glad to adopt the small baby because he needed more children to add to their ‎ happiness. ‎ D. Mr King is most probably over 80 years old now ‎ ‎ C A pretty girl with a red helmet was riding a motorcycle ahead, she was wearing a short pink dress and purple pants, the back of her dress swinging in the wind like small pink flags. It is not rare to see women wearing such fancy garments nowadays. But this young woman was in style in every way. ‎ I suddenly thought of my wife. She had been dreaming of getting a bag which she said she had seen on the Internet. She had already got our son to place an order for it. It should arrive at any time. ‎ ‎“Is your delivery to reach us today or tomorrow?” I asked. ‎ ‎“I have no idea. But don’t worry. Our child is sure to watch it.” ‎ Soon we turned our way onto the Hilton Thoroughfare(大道), the stylishly dressed girl gave way to us standing aside, at the same time waiting for the traffic light ‎ to change. Obviously she was going in the direction of another place.‎ ‎“You know that girl?” asked my wife, seeing my eyes still fixed upon the girl in fashion. ‎ ‎“No. I was thinking how you look in a pink dress while hanging about in a botanic(植物的) garden.” ‎ ‎“You were kidding me, knowing I’m not fit for such clothing.” retorted my wife. ‎ ‎“It will make you look much younger. You were always a lovely pretty girl at her age.” ‎ ‎“I’m not what I used to be.” she laughed out loud. ‎ Mostly I’m a a reserved person, as well as a jobworth who follow the daily routine in my spare time. But we do go out to some local places for fun once or twice a month. Our destination this time is to go on an eco-travel to know something about horticulture. The botanical garden is located about twenty kilometers far from our town. We are intended to go watching the variety of plants and have a farm stay there most of the day. ‎ 25. From the first paragraph we know women’s wearing fancy clothing was not a _____ sight ‎ in the past.‎ A. frequent B. rare C. unusual D. possible 26. We can infer from the passage that ______________.‎ A. The writer knows the girl riding the motorcycle ‎ B. The writer and his wife often travel to some destinations abroad ‎ C. The writer’s wife is expecting the delivery of a bag ordered by their son D. The girl on the motorcycle stops to wait for the light to turn to red ‎ 27. What will probably follow the last paragraph?‎ A. How long they stay on the farm.‎ B. What they do and how they feel during the farm stay C. How often they will go for a visit to the botanic garden. ‎ D. Where they learn about the variety of plants D Sometimes, the simplest ideas are the best. For example, to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, you need large, flat, black surfaces. One way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings. But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt (柏油) roads?‎ Ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of Arian de Bondt, a Dutch engineer. He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.‎ The heat-collector is a system of connected water pipes. Most of them run from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road. Some, however, dive deep into the ground.‎ When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. At a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquifer (蓄水层) into which several heat exchangers (交换器) have been built. The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warming the ground-water, before returning to the surface through another pipe. The aquifer is thus used as a heat store.‎ In winter, the working system is changed slightly. Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.‎ ‎32. Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?‎ A. Arian de Bondt got his idea from his boss. ‎ B. Large, flat, black surfaces need to be built in cities.‎ C. The Dutch engineer's system has been widely used.‎ D. Heat can also be collected from asphalt roads.‎ ‎33. For what purpose are the diving pipes used?‎ A. To absorb heat from the sun. B. To store heat for future use.‎ C. To carry heat down below the surface D. To turn solar energy into heat energy..‎ ‎34. From the last paragraph we can learn that ________.‎ A. some pipes have to be re-arranged in winter B. the system can do more than warming up the building C. the exchangers will pick up heat from the street surface D. less heat may be collected in winter than in summer ‎35. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?‎ A. What we shall do if the system goes wrong.‎ B. What we shall do if there are no asphalt roads.‎ C. How the system cools the building in summer.‎ D. How the system collects heat in spring and autumn.‎ 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。‎ Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables. ‎ ‎36 Make a study time and have it at the same time every day.
