The conductor（售票员） hurried to give her a warm welcome and then kindly asked the other passengers to make more room for the woman and her child. On seeing this, people began to talk. "You know this conductor used to be very rude. Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior , "said a middle-aged man.‎ ‎"Yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the company," said a second passenger. "That's right," another lady said, "I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor. "‎ Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said , "Excuse me, but can I know your name, please? Your excellent service must be praised..."‎ Before he could open his mouth, the three-year-old child sitting on the young woman's lap interrupted, "I know his name. I call him Dad."‎ ‎4. One passenger suggested writing a letter to the company to ________ ‎ A. make a demand for more buses B. thank the conductor for his good service C. criticize the conductor for his rude behavior ‎ D. invite a newspaper reporter to write about the conductor ‎ ‎5. What was the gentleman?‎ A. A teacher. B. A newspaper reporter.‎ C. Not known from the story. ‎ D. The conductor's friend from his company.‎ ‎6.

Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy.‎ Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.‎ Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims (声称) as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your house is your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.‎ If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.‎ 8. Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is actually ________.‎ A.an expression of happiness B. a way of warning C. an expression of anger D. a way of greeting ‎9. What is a bird’s “territory”？‎ A. A place where families of other species are not accepted.‎ B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.‎ C. An area for which birds fight against each other.‎ D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.‎ 10. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?‎ A . Because they want to invite more friends.‎ B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.‎ C. Because they want to find outsiders around.‎ D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.‎ 11. How does the writer explain birds’ singing?‎ A By comparing birds with human beings. ‎ B. By reporting experiment results.‎ C. By describing birds’ daily life. ‎ D. By telling a bird’s story.‎ D What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.‎ Let us take an obvious example.Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today.Now, on average, men are about three inches taller.Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal.Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity.As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, which will grow larger.‎ Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses.But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.‎ On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs.These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker.At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.‎ But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.‎ Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true.All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us.He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.‎ ‎12．The passage mainly tells us that ________.‎ A．man's life will be different in the future ‎ B．future man will look quite different from us C．man is growing taller and uglier as time passes D．man's organs' functions will be on the wane ‎13．What serves as the evidence that man is changing?‎ A．Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had. ‎ B．Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.‎ C．Man's arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.‎ D．Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.‎ ‎14．Which is TRUE about a human being in the future?‎ A．He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.‎ B．He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.‎ C．His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.‎ D．He thinks and feels in different ways.‎ ‎15．It is implied that ________.‎ A．human beings will become less attractive in the future B．less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration（退化）‎ C．human beings hope for a change in the future life D．future life is always predictable 第二节：七选五 （共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。选项中有两个选项为多余选项。‎ Shaking hands, American style People often shake hands in the United States. American men shake hands with other ‎ men. American women often shake hands with men, and sometimes they shake hands ‎ with other women. Adults shake hands with children. And some people even teach ‎ their dogs to shake hands! ___16___ How do they shake hands just long enough? ‎ Just hard enough? Here are four little rules to remember.‎ 1. ‎ Use your right hand.‎ ‎2. Use good eye contact(眼神交流). ‎ Look at the person in the eye while you are shaking hands.‎ ‎3. Don’t shake too long. ___17___ Then let go and pull your hand back toward you. 4. ___18___ .When a handshake is weak, Americans think the person may not be a ‎ hard worker or a good leader. When a handshake is too strong, Americans think the ‎ person is too rough(粗鲁) or has bad manners.‎ ‎___19___ .They shake hands when they meet for the first time. They shake hands to ‎ say congratulations. They shake hands when they meet after not seeing each other for awhile. And they often shake hands when they say good-bye. In business, shaking ‎ hands shows agreement and honesty.
