Ⅰ.阅读理解(共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分)
A
I travel a lot，and I find out different“styles (风格)”of directions every time I
ask“How can I get to the post office？”
The foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don't
have names.People use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead of street names.For
example，the Japanese will say to travelers，“Go straight down to the corner.Turn left
at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest，there are not usually many
landmarks.There are no mountains，so the land is very flat; in many places there
are no towns or buildings within miles.Instead of landmarks ， people will tell you
directions and distances.In Kansas or Iowa，for example，people will say，“Go north
two miles.Turn east，and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles，California，have no idea of distance on the map；they
measure distance in time，not miles.“How far away is the post office？”，you ask.
“Oh，”they answer，“it's about five minutes from here.”You say，“Yes，but how
many miles away is it？”They don't know.
It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes.What
happens in such a situation？A New Yorker might say，“Sorry，I have no idea.”
But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers“I don't know.”People in Yucatan believe
that “I don't know”is impolite.They usually give an answer，often a wrong one.A
tourist can get very，very lost in Yucatan!

Situated in Huaxi District，Guiyang，Zhenshan Ethnic Culture Village is a world
of stone，where many things like door frames and roads are made of stone.Buyi men
and women in their best clothes sing and dance at the village entrance as they greet
visitors and invite them to join the villagers in making cake flour with rice.
The village was first built during the Ming
Dynasty，with a history of more than 400 years.Three sides of
the village are surrounded by water.It is built against the
3/15
mountains according to the local geological conditions.
There are about 120 families and three fourths of them are Buyi nationality and
one fourth are Miao people.On January 10th every lunar year ， the villagers hold
traditional dancing activities to celebrate the New Year.Buyi and Miao villagers in
their best costumes sing and dance to the melodies from the Lusheng (芦笙) and the
bamboo flutes (长笛) to celebrate their own traditional festival.Legends said once
some robbers captured the Buyi forefather in the village.The villagers failed to rescue
him by themselves and asked the local Miao people for help.The Miao people played
the Lusheng and sang Miao songs to communicate with him and the robbers couldn't
understand them.With the help of the Miao people，the forefather was rescued.Since
then ， the local Buyi people have formed the custom of singing and dancing to
appreciate the help from the Miao.People sing and dance for three days for the festival
each year.
Besides this，Zhenshan villagers also celebrate the traditional“Siyueba”Festival
(April 8th Festival) and the “Qiyueban”Festival (the Ghost Festival)．Now，these
festivals have become joyous days celebrated by Miao，Buyi，Dong，Zhuang，Shui，
Gelao，and even the Han people.
In Zhenshan，some young people take advantage of the festivals to make friends
and choose their future husbands or wives.Girls usually make embroideries (刺绣)and
give them as gifts to their lovers.

Arthur Miller (1915—2005) is universally recognized as one of the
greatest dramatists of the 20th century.Miller's father had moved to the USA from
AustriaHungary ， drawn like so many others by the “ Great American
Dream”．However，he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business
was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.
Miller's most famous play，Death of a Salesman，is a powerful attack on the
American system ，with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on
5/15
money and social status as indicators of worth.In Willy Loman，the hero of the play，
we see a man who has got into trouble with this system.Willy is“burnt out”and in the
cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment：if he can't do the
work，then he is no good to his employer，the Wagner Company，and he must go.Willy
is painfully aware of this，and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success.He
refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.
When it was first staged in 1949，the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews，
and it won the Tony Award for Best Play，the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award，
and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.It was the first play to win all three of these major
awards.
Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury，Connecticut，on the evening
of February 10，2005，the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a
Salesman on Broadway.

The young man laughed，“Comparing your heart with mine，mine is perfect
and yours is a mess of scars.”
“Yes，”said the old man.“Yours looks perfect，but I would never trade with
you.You see，every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love.I tear out a
piece of my heart and give it to them，and often they give me a piece of their heart that
fits into the empty place in my heart.
But because the pieces aren't exact ， I have some rough edges ， which I
cherish，because they remind me of the love we shared.
Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away，and the other person hasn't
returned a piece of his or her heart to me.These are the empty gouges—giving love is
taking a chance.
Although these gouges are painful，they stay open，reminding me of the love I
have for those people too，and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I
have been waiting.So now do you see what true beauty is？”
7/15
The young man walked up to the old man，reached into his perfect heart，and
ripped a piece out.He offered it to the old man.
The old man placed it in his heart，then took a piece from his old scarred heart
and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart.It fit，but not perfectly，as there
were some jagged edges.
The young man looked at his heart，not perfect anymore but more beautiful than
ever，since love from the old man's heart flowed into his.
They embraced and walked away side by side.

Ⅱ.阅读填句(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)
Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them.They'll
say ，“ This is my fate.I cannot change it. ” 16 You don't have to suffer
needlessly.Your fate depends on you，not on any other outside factors.
We want to be happy and live our life to the fullest，but we have to do our share
of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.
17 You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from
the sky.You have to get off the couch，get your eyes off the TV screen，get your hands
off the phone (unless it contributes to your success)，and get your mind and body to
work!
If your life is not meant the way you want it to be，don't just say：“Our time will
come.”or 18 “Don't expect your luck to change，unless you do something
about it.”If something goes wrong，don't just regard it as a temporary setback；but use
it as feedback.Learn your lesson，make the most of the situation，and do something to
solve the problem.It's not enough to think positive；you also have to act positive.
If someone's life is in trouble，do you just hope and pray that things will turn out
fine？Of course not！ 19
So it is with your own life.It is not enough to hope for the best，but you have to
do your best.In other words，don't just stand (or sit) there. 20
A．I think so.
B．Of course not.
C．You'd better let it be.
D．Things will get better someday.
E．Do something to improve your life.
F．Remember that you harvest what you sow.
G．You've got to do anything you can to save the person.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇哲理类短文。在遇到生命中的挫折和失败时，很
多人都会认为这就是命运。其实，每个人都应该竭尽全力地为自己的目标奋斗，
并帮助别人战胜困难和挫折。
9/15
16．B [根据空前的“This is my fate.I cannot change it.”这是我的命运，我不
能改变，和空后的 You don't have to suffer needlessly.Your fate depends on you，
not on any other outside factors.你不必遭受痛苦。你的命运在于你自己而不是外
在的其他任何因素。可知此处是否定前句的内容，故选 B。]
17．F [根据第二段中的．..but we have to do our share of making the effort to
live the life of our dreams.可知，但是我们必须尽全力实现我们的梦想。而 F 选项
的句意：请记住有付出才会有回报。故判断选 F，起承上启下的作用。]
18．D [根据句意可知，此句与“Our time will come.(我们的机会来了)”，
是并列关系。故选 D。]
19．G [根据空前的问题，G 选项提出了正确的解决方法，并起到承上启下
的作用。故选 G。]
20．E [根据空前的 In other words，don't just stand(or sit) there.可判断下
句应该说是要做点什么，与 E 选项的含义吻合，故选 E。]
Ⅲ.完形填空(共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分)
Specialists say that it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture.“Culture
shock”is the 21 these specialists use when talking about the 22
that people have in a 23 environment.There are three stages of culture
shock ， say the specialists.In the first stage ， the newcomers like their new
environment.Then，when the 24 experience dies，they begin to 25
the city，the country，the people and everything else.In the last stage，the newcomers
begin to adjust to their surroundings and，as a result，enjoy their life 26 ．
There are some obvious factors in culture shock.The weather may be
unpleasant.The 27 may be different.The public service systems—the
telephone，post office，or transportation—may be difficult to 28 .The simplest
things seem to be big problems.The language may be 29 ．
Who feels culture shock？Everyone does in this way or that. 30 culture
shock surprises most people.Very often the people having the worst cultural shock are
those who 31 had any difficulties in their home countries and were
32 in their community.Coming to a new 33 ，these people find they do
not have the same established positions.They find 34 without a role，
10/15
almost without an identity.They have to 35 a new selfimage.
Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation (迷惑)．This feeling may be
homesickness.When homesick ， people feel like staying 36 all the
time.They want to 37 themselves from the strange environment，and create
an escape inside their rooms for a 38 of safety.This escape does 39
the problem of culture shock in the short term，but it does nothing to make the person
familiar with the culture.Getting to know the new environment and 40
experience—these are the longterm solutions to the problem of culture shock.

Dear John，
I am writing to apologize for my not opening the present you sent to me at my
birthday party.
Thanks for taking part in my birthday party.I was very glad when I received your
present，and I really liked it，but I didn't have a look at it and directly put it in the
cupboard.I didn't know that it was impolite.Later，when I had a chat with my friend I
spoke of it.My friend told me that it was impolite not to open the present when one
received it in America.So I was aware that I made a mistake.I feel terribly sorry for
that.In China we usually don't open a present in front of the person who sends it.Now
I know why you looked embarrassed then.
I apologize for that again and I hope you can forgive me.
Yours truly，
Zhang Hua
