A
If you can speak English, you know a lot of English words. You can read, speak and understand. But there is another kind of language you need to know--the language of the body, a part of what is called nonverbal communication(非语言交流).
All over the world, people "talk" with their hands, with their heads, with their eyes. When Japanese people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together. What do Americans and British people do?
Americans are more informal than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names, they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax (放松) in their chairs and make themselves comfortable.
British people are more reserved (保守的). They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask about your home.
When British and American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women some-times kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a man friend, he just smiles, and says "Hello". Men do not kiss each other, or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.
Shaking hands is used to greet another. Most hand-shaking is right-hand There are some other body languages. The most popular meaning of the “V” sign is “victory”. The message of the shrugged shoulders (耸肩) expresses helplessness. That’s to say “I don’t know what to say” or “I couldn’t help it”.

Sixty-five years ago Japan's warplanes surprised U.S. troops at Pearl Harbor(珍珠港), marking the start of Japan's war against the United States. Last time for not delivering a war declaration( 宣战) beforehand.
It was said that Japan did plan to deliver war declaration before its attack on Pearl Harbor but the declaration was delayed by Japan's embassy(大使馆) in Washington.

Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that, Pompeii is famous for---- its stadium and theatres, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii's people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2,000 years.
Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano. Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.
In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted, the entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.
For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Giuseppe began to uncover Pompeii, Slowly, carefully, Giuseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20,000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread--a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup(眼部化状品).
Giuseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth had not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.
63. Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?
A. To visit the volcano. B. To shop and eat there.
C. To watch sports and plays. D. To see how Powpeiians lived.
64. Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?
A. The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.
B. The area produced the finest wine in Italy.
C. Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.
D. The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.
65. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?
A. Because Giubseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.
B. Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.
C. Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.
D. Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.
66.What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2,000 years ago?
A. They lived more or less the same as Italians now do
B. They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup.
C. They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.
D. They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.
D
It seems that beauty and women are twins. You are joking? No, I am not. Observe for yourself. Ads on fashion flood TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers, and the streets. Whether they have realized it or not, women are besieged (包围) by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth? But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show
their beauty through their looks. The richness of their minds proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called "aunt" or "granny" can still maintain her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart, great courage, concern for others, etc.
In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concept. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Curious about new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty that is pure and real. Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful Good books are fertile soil which can feed the flower of one's heart and looks.
67. According to the first paragraph, why are women caught by a sea of fashion?
A. Because they are rich.
B. Because they are taught to follow any fashion.
C. Because they don't dare to look attractive.
D. Because they think that they will look youthful and charming with beautiful clothes.
68. Which is more important to a woman in the author’s opinion?
A. Richness of one's mind. B. Looks.
C. Following the fashion. D. Wealth.
69. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The richness of women’s minds proves to be more beautiful than their looks.
B. A woman who may be called "aunt" is no longer beautiful.
C. A woman who has experienced many troubles may still maintain her beauty.
D. It is not necessary for women to show their beauty through their beautiful clothes.
70. What is the best way for a woman to appear young according to the writer?
A. Dressing up. B. Reading and learning.
C. Feeding the flower. D. Making up.

I promised Michael I wouldn’t mention this until the season was over. Now I think it’s time.
Early last season, I wrote a column(专栏) about an act of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the Stadium. After it ran, I got a call from a man in the western suburbs. He said, “I read what you wrote about Jordan, but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw.”
Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people can ring up to say that the person is not so nice.
A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty neighborhood?
“Not two boys,” Jordan said. “But four.”
And he named them. He said four names.
And what did they talk about?
“Everything, “Jordan said. “Anything. I’ve asked to see their grades so that I can check to see they’re paying attention to their schoolwork. If it turns out one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it.”
It’s just one more part of Michael Jordan's, one more thing that no one knows about, one more thing Jordan does right. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do I! When the expert reviewers begin to turn against Jordan, as they surely will, I'll think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come. For someone they can depend on.
71. The author wrote this story about Jordan and his young friends NOT because .
A. he would like to keep the promise he had made
B. he hated to see Jordan become the target of ill-intentioned criticisms
C. he was impressed by Jordan's deeds for the ordinary, poor
D. he thought it was time to help the disabled children
72. That man called after reading about what Jordan did to a disabled child because he wanted to .
A. offer another example to show that Jordan was a nice man
B. let the author know that Jordan was not that nice
C. know why Jordan stopped in a bad area
D. become famous himself
73. Jordan talked with the boys because .
A. he had promised to do so
B. he wanted to teach them basketball
C. he would see to it that they all studied well
D. he needed their support
74. The passage implies that .
A. Jordan is special as an extraordinary basketball player.
B. Jordan is always ready to make friends with all young people
C. Jordan is not worthy of the admiration he had from others
D. It is typical of Jordan to do whatever he can for the good of society
75. In the sentence “After it ran, I got a call...”, the word “ran” can be replaced by
A. drove B. finished C. disappeared D. spread

English is a living language like Chinese and is widely used all over the world. More and more people begin to learn English in order to be able to use it freely at work and study and learn from other countries.
It is not easy for us to learn English well because we don’t have a good condition and our time is too limited. But if we try every chance to speak it and use it, we can learn it well. We should be active in speaking more English and answer the questions in wenglish in class. After class we’d better talk to our classmates in English.
Where ther is will, there is a way. As long as we study hard , we can speak it well and use it freely.
