20．"How are you？"is a nice question．It's a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other．But"How are you？"is also a very unusual question．It's a question that often doesn't need an answer．The person who asks"How are you？"hopes to hear the answer"Fine"，even if the person's friend isn't fine．The reason is that"How are you？"isn't really a question and"Fine"isn't really an answer．They are simply othe ways of saying"Hello"or"Hi"．
Sometimes，people also don't say exactly what they mean．For example，when someone asks"Do you agree？"the other person might think，"No，I disagree．I think you're wrong…"But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly，so the other person might say"I'm not sure．"It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone．
People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people．For example，many talks over the phone finish when one person says"I have to go now．"Often，the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse："Someone's at the door．""Something is burning on the stove．"The excuses might be real，or not．Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more，but it isn't polite to say that．The excuse is more polite，and it doesn't hurt the other person．
Whether they are greeting each other，talking about an idea，or finishing a talk，people don't say exactly what they are thinking．It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other，and it's part of the game of language．

29．When a person says"I have to go now""Someone's at the door"，the person may beA．
A．giving an excuse
B．hurting someone's feeling
C．ill in bed
D．a(chǎn)sking you a question
30．What does the rule of the game of language probably mean？A
A．Be polite．
B．Don't disagree with people．
C．Always say what you mean．
D．Never say exactly what you are thinking．
31．When a person in the United States asks"How are you？he or she wants to hear"D"．
A．How are you？B．Hello．C．I don't know．D．Fine．
32．When a person disagrees with someone，it is polite to say"B"．
A．You're wrong．I disagree．
B．I'm not sure．
C．I'm sure I disagree．
D．No，I disagree．

分析 "你怎么樣"，這是個不錯的問題，這是美國人民友好的問候方式，但"你怎么樣"，也是一個很不尋常的問題，這是一個不需要回答的問題，問"你好嗎？"的人希望聽到答案"很好"，即使對方的朋友不太好，原因是"你怎么樣"其實并不是一個問題，"好"也并不是答案，他們只是簡單的表達"你好"或"你好"的方式．
有時，人們也沒有確切地說出他們的意思，例如，當有人問"你同意嗎？"另一個人可能會想，"不，我不同意．我認為你錯了…"但如此強烈地不同意不是很禮貌的，所以另一個人可能會說"我不知道"．這是一個說你不同意某人的更好的辦法．
人們在結束與他人交談時，也不會說出自己確切地在想什么．例如，當一個人說"我要走了"的時候，很多的電話聊天結束了．通常，那些想掛斷電話的人會給出一個借口："有人在門口"，"爐子上有東西在燃燒"，借口可能是真實的，或者不是．也許那個想掛電話的人不想再說話了，但這樣說是不禮貌的，因為借口更禮貌，也不會傷害到對方．
不管他們是互相問候，談論一個想法，還是結束一個談話，人們都不確切地說出他們在想什么，這是人們互相友好相處的重要方式，也是語言游戲的一部分．

9．Self-confidence is an attitude which allows individuals to have positive yet realistic views of themselves and their situations．Self-confident people trust their own abilities，have a general sense of control in their lives，and believe that，within reason，they will be able to do what they wish，plan，and expect．Having self-confidence does not mean that individuals will be able to do everything．Self-confident people have expectations that are realistic．Even when some of their expectations are not met，they continue to be positive and to accept themselves．
People who are not self-confident depend too much on the approval of others in order to feel good about themselves．They tend to avoid taking risks because they fear failure．They generally do not expect to be successful．They often put themselves down and tend to ignore compliments（贊美）paid to them．By contrast，self-confident people are willing to risk the disapproval of others because they generally trust their own abilities．They tend to accept themselves； they don't feel they have to conform （從眾） in order to be accepted．
Many factors affect the development of self-confidence．Parents'attitudes are crucial（關鍵性的） to children's feelings about themselves，particularly in children's early years．When parents provide acceptance，children receive a solid foundation for good feelings about themselves．If one or both parents are much too critical or demanding，or if they are overprotective and discourage children's moves toward independence，children may come to believe they are unqualified or inadequate．
Surprisingly，lack of self-confidence is not necessarily related to lack of ability．Instead it is often the result of focusing too much on the unrealistic expectations or standards of others，especially parents and society．Friends'influences can be as powerful or more powerful than those of parents and society in shaping feelings of one's self．Students in their college years reexamine values and develop their own identities and thus are particularly sensitive to the influence of friends．

21．Paragraph 1mainly talks aboutD．
A．the sources of self-confidence
B．the lack of self-confidence
C．the development of self-confidence
D．the benefits of self-confidence
22．According to the passage，self-confident people tend toD．
A．depend on others      B．control others   C．a(chǎn)void risks        D．be practical
23．Which of the following can we learn about self-confidence according to the passage？B
A．Self-confidence is usually the symbol of special abilities．
B．Parents and friends matter in building one's self-confidence．
C．College students are the least self-confident group in society．
D．Parents'protection prevents children's self-confidence development．
24．What might the author most probably continue to talk about in the following passage？C
A．How we can become more acceptable．
B．Lack of self-confidence has many side effects．
C．What one should avoid in building self-confidence．
D．What self-confident children usually get from parents．

12．It all began with a stop at a red light．
Kevin Salwen was driving his 14-year-old daughter，Hannah，back from a sleepover in 2006．While waiting at a traffic light，they saw a black Mercedes Coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other．
"Dad，if that man had a less nice car，that man there could have a meal，"Hannah protested．The light changed and they drove on，but Hannah was too young to be reasonable．She pestered（糾纏）her parents about inequity，insisting that she wanted to do something．
"What do you want to do？"her mom responded．"Sell our house？"
Warning!Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager．Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the proceeds（收入）to charity，while using the other half to buy a more modest replacement home．
Eventually，that's what the family did．The project-crazy，impetuous（魯莽的）and absolutely inspiring-is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month：The Power of Half．It's a book that，frankly，I'd be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it．An impressionable child reads this，and the next thing you know your whole family is out on the street．
At a time of enormous needs in Haiti and elsewhere，when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by sending everything from text messages to shoes，the Salwens offer an example of a family that came together to make a difference-for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help．In a column a week ago，it described neurological（神經(jīng)生物學的）evidence from brain scans that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction．The Salwens'experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessness．
Mr．Salwen and his wife，Joan，had always assumed that their kids would be better bigger house．But after they downsized，there was much less space to retreat to，so the family members spent more time around each other．A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house．

32．What does the underlined word"inequity"most probably mean in Paragraph 3？A
A．Unfairness．B．Satisfaction．C．Personal attitude．D．Reasonable statement．
33．What is suggested in the underlined sentence"Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager．"in Paragraph 5？D
A．Never give a quick answer to an idealistic teenager．
B．Unless a child is realistic，never give an answer immediately．
C．Give an answer if the child is reasonable．
D．Don't respond to a child's demands firmly without consideration．
34．Which of the following statements is IRUE according to the passage？C
A．Mercedes Coupe is only an ordinary car which is quite cheap．
B．Unselfishness has nothing to do with people's primary satisfaction．
C．Hannah asked her parents to do charity and they sold their house．
D．The writer's children asked him to sell their house．
35．What can we learn from the last paragraph？B
A．The Salwens regretted selling their house．
B．The family members get much closer．
C．Small houses can bring happiness．
D．The Salwens intend to buy another big house．

9．"Hello，Earth!Can you hear me？"That's voice more than 400，000 people received recently．It was from Philae，a space vehicle that landed on a comet（彗星）in 2014．However，its transmissions （傳輸信號）back home went silent since then．
It took a 1ong time for Philae to make its way across the solar system （太陽系）and reach comet 67P/C-G．The pace vehicle got there aboard the Rosetta probe （探測器），which has been circling around the comet since Philae separated from it in November，2014．
Philae's job was to collect materials to study the comet's composition．And for about two and a half days after landing，it did just that，sending the information back to scientists on Earth．But Philae's landing on the comet's icy surface had not been smooth．While touching down，it  jumped up and ended up in the shadow of something like a huge rock．Philae runs on solar power，but there was no light in the place where it landed．In the end，it failed to work．
However，as comet 67P/C-G moved closer to the sun，more sunlight reached the space vehicle，allowing it to power up and come back online．Philae then sent something to Rosetta，which passed on the information back to Earth．
"We only received the information for about 85seconds，but that's enough to let us know it is alive and well，"says Stephan Ulamec，who works for the European Space Agency．"We hope to work out where it landed exactly on the 4-kilometer-wide comet．Now we plan to change how Rosetta moves so that Philae can keep on communicating and receiving instructions．"

25．Hearing Philae's voice，those people must have feltC．
A．a(chǎn)fraid        B．calm        C．excited       D．worried．
26．According to the text，PhilaeD．
A．was damaged when it landed
B．moved around comet 67P/C-G
C．needs light and gas to keep working
D．helps scientists learn about a comet
27．What Stephan says in the text suggests thatB．
A．Rosetta will move around another comet
B．Philae will continue to work for scientists
C．most comets are as wide as four kilometers
D．he wonders whether Philae is still alive
28．What does the author mainly talk about in the text？A
A．A sleeping space vehicle wakes up．
B．It is very dangerous to travel in space．
C．A new comet was discovered recently．
D．Philae was sent into space successfully．

10．假定英語課上老師要求同桌之間交換修改作文，請你修改你同桌寫的以下作文．文中共有10處語言錯誤，每句中最多有兩處．每處錯誤僅涉及一個單詞的增加、刪除或修改．
增加：在缺詞處加一個漏字符號（∧），并在其下面寫出該加的詞．
刪除：把多余的詞用斜線（\）劃掉．
修改：在錯的詞下面畫一橫線，并在該詞下面寫出修改后的詞．
注意：1．每處錯誤及其修改均僅限一詞；
2．只允許修改10處，多者（從第11處起）不計分．
As it is reported in today's 21st Century，a pedestrian was walked down a street when someone dropped litter from a building nearby．Knocked unconscious，the person was sent to a nearest hospital immediately．
The horrible report has set me thinking．Admittedly，we have the right do whatever we want．Besides，violating others'rights is unacceptable．Dropping litter from a high place is impolite and dangerous，that presents a potential threat to many people．If this behavior continue，everyone is likely to suffer from it．
I think the person throwing litter randomly deserves a severe punish．All of us should devote ourselves to improve ur own behavior．Most importantly，laws concerning should be introduced by the authorities．With our joint efforts，our society will surely become good．And I sincerely hope such cases won't happen any more．
