There are ______36 with AmericanEnglish, with British English, with idioms or slang, and 37 with pictures. One of the most 38______dictionaries I have seen among many students is the 39______ electronic dictionary. All you have to do is to ______40 a word in your language and you can see it and 41______ it in English. That* s great, right? Well, I think it* s great, too…but only sometimes. Bilingual electronic dictiooaries are fast and ______42 .

A little old couple walked slowly into McDonald ’ s on one cold winter evening. It seemed that they didn' t come to the right place with the young families and young couples eating that night. The little old man walked right up to the cash register, placed his order with no hesitation and then paid for their meal. The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off the tray. There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip at the drink and then set the cup down between them. As the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the crowd began to get restless. You could tell what they were thinking, “That poor old couple. All they can afford is one meal for the two of them. ” As the man began to eat his French fries, one young man stood and came over to the old couple ’ s table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat. The old man replied that they were just fine. They were used to sharing everything. As the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face neatly with a napkin，the young man could stand it no longer. Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some food. After being politely refused again，he finally asked a question of the little old lady，" Ma ’ am, why aren' t you eating? You said that you share everything. What is it that you are waiting for?"

It is commonly believed among many Chinese that Westerners who take “Yes’，and “No” by their facial expressions are more straightforward than Chinese. Normally Westerners don * t have to adopt Chinese ways like sweeping the floor or constantly checking the clock to indicate to a guest that it’ s time to leave. They don’ t have to hesitate in saying “No” when they are not able to, or don’ t want to, offer help to a friend in need. There is no embarrassment attached to this behavior. But it is too simple to conclude that Westerners are more direct speakers than the Chinese. There are many occasions when the way Westerners express themselves makes Chinese look more straightforward and honest. When I was a fresh international student，the director of our program once asked students in an e-mail what we thought about a young professor. I simply said ’ “She seems to know a lot but doesn* t know how to teach. ” And the director replied with “Thank you for being honest. ” Only years later when I better understood the new culture，I realized why I had gone too far. If that question were asked now，the reply would have three paragraphs devoted to the qualities of the professor before the last line came out — ” There are some gaps in her teaching method. ” Still tough, but at least it wouldn't be considered rude. Indeed, the reserved social norms and the deeply - rooted “face issue" make honest speaking risky in China ； Americans have their own ways of being polite. This results partly from political correctness. It also results from several generations of people who have been told they have done well even when they have failed. It may not be unfair to suggest that many Americans are oversensitive and obsessed with a perfect self image. So，the next time you hear about indirect Chinese，it would be worth challenging the source and pointing out that the cultural comparisons are much more complex. But maybe you should do it in a roundabout way，to be polite. 1.The passage mainly aims to • A. tell us something about culture distinctions B. remind us of the conflicts between cultures C. ask us to take positive attitudes to Chinese cultures D. keep us informed of the various communications 2.According to the passage, the young professor lacked . A. confidence in her job B. teaching experience C. interaction with her students m D. responsibility for her students 3. The underlined words “obsessed with" (para.4) probably means . A. satisfied with B. proud of C. addicted to D. stuck in 4. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. the writer has a good knowledge of American culture B. Americans are much more straightforward than Chinese C. the new professor was very angry with the writer' s comments D. different culture backgrounds make cultures comparison complicated

Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan(菅直人）has also passed a $ 63 billion stimulus(剌激）package in an effort to protect exporters who have seen the poor exchange rate eat into their prof-its. At the close of markets in Tokyo，the yen was trading at 81.44 yen to the dollar, just off the high of 81.27 yen.

The amount of carbon taken in by growing plants increased from 1982 through 1999 as temperatures rose and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased. But a new study in Friday ’ s edition of the journal Science found a drought - related decline in such plant growth from 2000 to 2009，even though temperatures continued to climb. As drought caused by warming reduces the land ’ s ability to take in carbon，the result could be more carbon dioxide left in the atmosphere，and thus more warming，Zhao Maosheng from the University of Montana explained in a telephone interview. “This is a pretty serious warning that warmer temperatures are not going to endlessly improve plant growth ’” co - author Steven Running，also from the University of Montana ’ said in a statement. “ We see this as a bit of a surprise，and potentially significant on a policy level because previous interpretations suggested global warming might actually help plant growth around the world, “ he said. Instead, he and Zhao found a small but measurable decline of about 1%，compared to a 6% increase in the past decade. Their study，based on the data collected by NASA satellites，found that north areas continued to increase plant growth，thanks to warmer temperatures and a longer growing season. Someone commented, "This past decade’ s net decline in earthly productivity suggests that a complex relationship between temperature, rainfall, cloudiness, and carbon dioxide, probably in combination with other factors such as nutrients (营养）and land management，will determine future patterns and trends in productivity.，， 1.From the first paragraph, we can learn in the recent decade or so. A. the emission(排放)of carbon hasn’ t been reduced B. draught has been causing loss of soil and water C. carbon dioxide levels have been rising D. the rise of temperature doesn' t promote the plant growth 2.Zhao Maosheng really worried that__ . E. more and more land will be abandoned F. the climate becomes warmer and warmer G. the emission of carbon dioxide increases H. draught further reduces the number of the plants 3.Steven Running made his statement to__ . I. confirm Zhao' s views on the influence of temperature rise J. urge the government to take necessary measures K. warn the people to strengthen the plant protection L. support Zhao* s views on lhe plant production 4. We can infer from the passage that______ . A. global warming will determine the future productivity B. various factors play a key role jointly on future productivity C. earthly productivity actually increased in the past decade D. temperature rise has had no effect on future producticity patterns

任务型读写（共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填 一个单词。 For thousands of years ’ the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. In fact，until a place has a church and a pub，it isn ’ t really considered a community worthy of a name. Traditionally，the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, since it is where people gather to give and receive news. In fact, the word ‘ pub' is short for 4 public house'. That's how it used to be, but things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit decline is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People don ’ t have lots of spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs. This decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 11 p. m. Previously，with 11 p. m. as closing time，customers would have to drink quite quickly，meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as，binge drinking ’ (狂饮)， and it causes some long - term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for •communities. The UK government is changing the law to discourage binge drinking, and regularly spends money on television advertisements to warn people of the problems of drinking too much. In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. Now, there are a number of different types of pubs. As you can see, British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be working men' s clubs, meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after alL
