分析 本文主要講述了不同國家,贈送禮品有著不同的風 俗.比如在中國,不能把鐘表、小刀作為贈送禮物,不能用白、黑和藍 三種顏色包裹禮物;在俄羅斯,如果你送花作為禮物,你必須給他們 一個奇數(shù)(一、三、五等),因為偶數(shù)鮮花是為葬禮而送的.在德國,送 花時,不要送代表愛意的紅色玫瑰,不能送帶有數(shù)字13的禮物等.

解答 36.A   細節(jié)理解題.由文中的第二句"In China you must never give a clock to a Chinese person,because the sound of the word for‘clock'is similar to the sound of‘death'."可知,在中國,你不能 把鐘表作為禮物,因為"鐘表"的發(fā)音類似于"死亡"的發(fā)音.所以選擇   A
37.D  細節(jié)理解題.短文的第一段講述了中國的禮品贈送風俗,第一段的第三句"Also,don't wrap a present in white,black,or blue paper",即講述了在中國不能用白、黑和藍三種顏色包裹禮物.短文的第三段講述了德國的贈送風俗,由最后一句"Don't wrap your presents in white,brown,or black paper."可知,在德國不能用白、棕和黑三個顏色包裹禮物.所以選擇   D.
38.B 詞義猜測題.因為講述俄羅斯的風俗時,提到"give an odd number of them (one,three,five,etc.)",可知 odd number 是奇數(shù),與其對應的就是偶數(shù).由此可以判斷"even"的含義是"偶數(shù)",所以選擇B.
39.C  細節(jié)理解題.短文的第三段講述了德國的贈送風俗.第一個 就是"don't take her red roses because it means you are in love with her.",可知參加聚會不能帶紅色玫瑰給女主人,因為那代表 著愛上了女主人.再有不能贈送帶有數(shù)字13的禮物;不能用白、棕和黑三個顏色包裹禮物.所以選擇C
40.D 主旨大意題.本篇文章通過列舉中國、俄羅斯和德國的贈送 禮品風俗,說明了在不同的國家,贈送禮品的風俗也是不同的.所以選擇 D.

點評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是,僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案,這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設布下的題目陷阱.所謂閱讀理解,對于題目的理解一定要忠實于原文,因此,每一道題都應該與原文作全面的對比與核查,再得出答案.也就是說,閱讀理解的每一道題目,在原文都應該有明確的出處,我們把這一出處叫做原文相關句,(1)排除與原文相關句主題不一致的選項(2)排除與原文相關句態(tài)度相反的選項  (3)排除用于過于極端或負面的選項(4)注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除.

5.In the United States,it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning.If you telephone him early in the day,while he is shaving or having breakfast,the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention.The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m.If someone receives a call during sleeping hours,he assumes it's a matter of life and death.The time chosen for the call communications is important.
In social life,time plays a very important part.In the U.S.A.guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the attention to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.But it is not true in all countries.In other areas of the world,it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.Thus,misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently.Promptness (準時) is valued highly in American life,for example.If people are not prompt,they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible.In the U.S.no one would think of keeping a business friend waiting for an hour.It would be too impolite.A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology.If he is less than 5 minutes late,he will say a few words of explanation,though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
62."The same meaning is attached to telephone calls after 11:00p.m."Here"attached"meansC.
A.taken       B.drawn        C.given         D.shown
63.According to this passage,time plays an important role inC.
A.everyday life    B.school life   C.social life    D.private life
64.What is the main idea of the passage?A
A.The important role of time in social life   
B.Time is treasure
C.The Importance of an Announcement      
D.Time and Tide Wait for No Man
65.According to the passage,the author of the article may agree to which of the following statements?B
A.It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in the U.S.A.
B.It may be appropriate to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some countries.
C.It is best for one to make telephone calls at midnight because it costs much less.

3.Encouraging pupils to keep noise to a minimum should be a valuable component of all children's education,according to a new research.
Dr.Helen Lees,from Stirling University's school of education,says that"enforced(強制的) silence"is seen as a punishment and often acts to  suppress children's natural ability.But she says that teaching children about the benefits of"enforced silence"-deliberate stillness that gives them the opportunity to focus and reflect in a stress-free environment-can have a significant effect on pupils'concentration and behavior.
It is the latest in a string of researches to establish a link between the classroom environment and pupils'academic ability.
A study almost a decade ago in London found that children's exam results were cut by as much as a third if they were taught in noisy classrooms.Teaching unions have also called for a limit of 26℃to be put on classroom temperatures because teachers and pupils struggle to work in hot conditions,and some educationalists claim that too much clutter(雜亂的東西) on classroom walls can prevent children from concentrating.
Dr.Less said,"When we take some research on school settings and put it all together,what we see is that education without silence does not make much sense.In areas of better learning outcomes,better self-confidence and well-being measures,enforced silence in a person's life and an individual's education is shown throughout the relevant research to be a benefit."
Dozens of schools across Britain have already introduced periods of"reflective silence"into the timetable.
Kevin Houston,head of Sheringdale Primary,south London,has just introduced a minute's silence at the start of twice-weekly meetings in which children are taught breathing techniques and encouraged to reflect.The school plans to introduce it into classrooms every day.

68.According to Dr.Helen Lees,"enforced silence"C.
A.is an effective way of punishment
B.does not make much sense in class
C.can improve pupils'confidence
D.makes pupils more creative
69.The underlined word"suppress"in the second paragraph probably means"D".
A.uncover       B.improve         C.a(chǎn)pply           D.prevent
70.What can be inferred from the research on school settings?B
A.Students are more active if taught in noisy classrooms.
B.Silence makes a great difference to pupils.
C.Clutter on the walls can help students concentrate.
D.Most schools are not satisfactory in terms of classroom temperatures.
71.What would be the best title for the text?C
A.Arranging classroom settings benefits studies
B.Achieving silence is beneficial for people
C.Keeping quiet in class improves academic performance
D.Using enforced silence is effective punishment.
