阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。 (1) Hello. It’s one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello—it is recognition of another’s worth. How might the world change—how might we change—if we mastered this word? To find out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned. (2) It can boost (促进) productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation and better grades. (3) Environments influence friendliness, One study found that people in the city were kiss likely to one hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. And researchers say, pleasure environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones. My experience was similarly. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural one. Similarly, people in vacation spots, like the Jersey Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying work downtown. (4) It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness. Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient (接受者)。 (5)So maybe we can make the world a better place by____________. After a month of doing it. I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of well-being. 小题1:What does the author say about the adults according to Paragraph 1? (within 8 words) _________________________________________________________________________ 小题2:Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one? Teachers and students got friendlier so that the students became more active in learning and scored higher in tests. ____________________________________________________________________________ 小题3:Fill in the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words. (within 5 words) 小题4:List three effects of smiling on health according to the text. (within 8 words) ① ② ③ 小题5:Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 Chinese. |

My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of concern for his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin. One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted. The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed. I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted, “The war is over!” For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer. 小题1:What the grandfather was most worried about was ______. A.the spread of the world war | B.the safety of his two cousins | C.a drop in his living standards | D.his relatives killing each other | 小题2:The underlined phrase “draft notice” means “______”.

When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China. When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans.Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now. Still, her answer surprised me: “Green tea.” As long as I can remember she didn’t even drink Indian tea . I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story.My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses. At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian.It was a strange country. How things change! And how soon! Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”.And everyone is talking about China. The govemment of Indin has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done.A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment(投资)and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”. But it’s a two-way street.I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software.Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China. No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about US $15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments. No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian(中印)century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year. But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea. 小题1:According to the passage, the author left _____ for ______.A.India; China | B.China; India | C.China; Longjing | D.India; Shenzhen | 小题2:The reason why the writer’s mother asked for Chinese green tea is that_____.A.she had a son working in China | B.she believed it had a curing effect | C.she enjoyed Chinese products | D.she was tired of Indian tea | 小题3:The underlined part “it’s a two-way street” in Paragraph 10 probably means ____.A.The exchanges between Indian and China benefit both. | B.China and India have different traffic rules. | C.Tea trade works wonders in both India and China. | D.Chinese produces are popular in both China and India. | 小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A.the author was concerned for his mother’s health | B.the author was in favor of drinking Chinese green tea | C.the author was surprised at China’s recent development | D.the author was curious about the growth of India’s IT industry |
