    Introduction:
    Speaking English is not only about using proper grammar. To use English effectively, you
    need to understand the culture in which it is spoken. Here are a number of important tips to
    remember when speaking English in the United States.
    General Points to Remember
    Most Americans only speak English.
    While it is true that more and more Americans
    speak Spanish, most Americans only speak
    English. Don't expect them to understand
    your native language.
    Americans have difficulty understanding
    foreign accents. Many Americans are not used
    to foreign accents. This requires patience from
    both of you!
    		Conversation Tips
    Speak about location.
    Talk about work. Americans commonly
    ask "What do you do?" It's not considered
    impolite（as in some countries）and is a
    popular topic of discussion between strangers.
    Talk about sports.
    Be careful when expressing ideas about
    race, religion or other sensitive topics.
    Addressing People
    Use last names with people you do not
    know.
    Always use “Ms.” when addressing
    women.
    Many Americans prefer first names.
    Americans prefer informal greetings and
    using first names or nicknames when speaking
    with colleagues and acquaintances.
    		Public Behavior
    Always shake hands.
    Look your partner in the eye.
    Don't hold hands: Same sex friends do
    not usually hold hands or put their arms
    around each other in public in the United
    States.

    Bowing is a very important custom in Japan. Unlike people in many other countries, they greet each other by bowing instead of shaking hands. It is impolite not to return a bow to whoever bows to you.
    Bowing has many functions in one. It expresses the feeling of respect, thanks, regret, and so on. You can bow when you say, “thank you”, “sorry”, “hello”, “goodbye”, “congratulations”, “excuse me”, “good morning”, and more.
    Bowing seems simple, but there are different ways of bowing. Bowing techniques vary from a small nod of the head to a long, 90-degree bow. It depends on the social position or age of the person you bow to. If your opposite is of higher social position or older than yourself, you are supposed to bow deeper and longer than him or her. It is polite to bow from your waist. Men usually keep their hands at their sides, and women usually put their hands together on their legs with their fingers touching. If it is not a very formal situation, you can bow by nodding. The most common bow is a bow of about 15 degrees.
    You might feel strange doing it, but try to bow in Japan. You will be considered very polite!
    小题1:The author writes the passage mainly to _____.
    A．introduce the history of bowing in Japan
    B．describe the purposes of bowing in Japan
    C．describe different ways of bowing in Japan
    D．introduce the Japanese custom of bowing
    小题2:By saying “Bowing has many functions in one”, the author means that _____.
    A．one kind of bow has many similar functions
    B．people can express different feelings by bowing
    C．people bow to express their feelings
    D．the more times you bow, the more respect you receive
    小题3:How people greet in many countries?

    C．by kissing each otherD．by touching
    小题4:If an assistant wants to show respect to her professor, she may bow like _____.

    Perhaps the most extraordinary (奇特的) building put up in the nineteenth century was the Crystal Palace (水晶宫) which was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851.

    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
    Two brightly colored butterflies have just flown by. They seems to be exactly alike, but actually one is a little larger than the other.   1  The smaller one has a wingspread of less than three inches and also a black line on its back wings.
    At first sight, it is hard to tell them apart. Would you guess from this that they are different-sized butterflies of the same species?  2  If you said yes to either question, you would be wrong, for these look-alikes belong to quite different families.
    The larger insect is the monarch butterfly (黑脉金斑蝶). As a baby insect, the monarch feeds on milkweed, which seems to give the monarch a disagreeable taste and smell.   3  Birds that eat butterflies soon recognize the monarch and quickly learn to leave it alone.
      4  Birds would find this insect tasty, but because it looks like the monarch, birds keep away from it. The viceroy’s similarity to the monarch gives it some protection from its enemies and helps it survive.
    There are other pairs of look-alike butterflies, bees and moths. In each case, one either has a disagreeable taste or smell, or can give a painful sting (叮咬). The larger is called the model.  5  
    A．The smaller insect is the viceroy (副王峡蝶), which feeds on the leaves of trees.
    B．The larger insect has a wingspread (翼长) of up to four inches.
    C．The bright coloring of the monarch acts as a warning sign to its enemy.
    D．Birds protect their babies from eating such dangerous enemies.
    E. The insect that imitates this model for protection is called the mimic（保护色）.
    F. Or that they are different species of butterflies but close relatives belonging to the same family?
    G. Do you like this kind of special species?

    People who like travelling have their reasons. They believe that travelling can help them expand their field of view, especially in the geographical and historical sense. They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities. But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons.
    Travelling, in my opinion, does more good than harm. Most importantly, it broadens(扩大) our mind. We can get in touch with other civilizations(文明), culture, customs and ideas.
    Through history, most people travelled because of necessity(必要性)—not for pleasure. People travelled just in order to remain alive. They searched for food to eat or places to live in. They sometimes ran away from enemies. This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for the fun of it. In ancient times, for example, rich Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, and festivals. Of course, some people decided to travel just out of curiosity(好奇心). They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon(地平线). Also, business travel has been going on for centuries.Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.
    So travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubt that we can get much from it.
    小题1:The underlined word“expand”in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “ __________”.
    A．decideB．protectC．widenD．lose
    小题2:According to the passage, in the past most people travelled _____________.
    A．for knowledgeB．to make a livingC．to get experiencesD．for fun
    小题3:In the writer’s opinion, travelling can be ______________.
    A．tiringB．funnyC．expensiveD．helpful

    The Republic of Vanuatu is an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean. It was one of the poorest nations in the region. Within the last five years, however, it has become a hot spot for adventure travelers. In 2006 it was voted the happiest place on Earth. The reason is not that Vanuatu are the richest but that Vanuatu has white-sand islands, clear waters, the world’s most accessible live volcano, great diving and food that grows faster than it can be picked.
    With a population of about 221,000, Vanuatu has 113 languages, which is a result of 3,000 years of immigration from many Pacific countries. There are three official languages: English, French, and Bislama. Bislama developed from South Pacific English, a simplified language that traders and other foreigners used it to communicate with speakers of the many local languages.
    Most of the islands are mountainous and of volcanic origin. There are several active volcanoes in Vanuatu, including Yasur on the island of Tanna, one of the world’s most accessible volcanoes. If you’ve ever fancied getting close to a volcano, here’s your chance.

    Vanuatu Post’s Underwater Post Office has quickly become one of the busiest post offices for postcards in the world! Visitors from around the world want to experience the world’s first underwater post office. The Post Office is only 50 meters offshore and at just three meters below the surface, very appealing to the young and young at heart. Since opening in 2003, the underwater post office has received about 100,000 visitors. They have posted one of the waterproof（防水的）postcards available in Vanuatu; these cards are collected regularly by one of Vanuatu Post’s four trained divers. The underwater branch is manned daily for usually about an hour, longer with demand.

    A．it’s the poorest nation in the region

    So you thought the hamburger was the world’s most popular fast food? After all, McDonald’s Golden Arches span（跨越）the globe（全球）. But no, there is another truly universal fast food, the ultimate（极好的）fast food. It’s easy to make, easy to serve, much more varied than the hamburger, can be eaten with the hands and it’s delivered to your front door or served in fancy restaurants. It’s been one of America’s favourite foods for over 50 years. It is, of course, the pizza.
    It’s kind of silly to talk about the moment when pizza was “invented”. It changed over the years, but one thing’s for certain—it’s been around for a very long time. The idea of using pieces of flat, round bread as plates came from the Greeks. They called them “plakuntos” and ate them with various simple toppings（配料）such as oil, garlic（大蒜）, onions and herbs. The Romans enjoyed eating something similar and called it “picea”. By about 1000 AD in the city of Naples, “picea” had become “pizza” and people were experimenting with more toppings: cheese, ham, anchovies and finally the tomato, brought to Italy from Mexico and Peru in the sixteenth century. Naples became the pizza capital of the world. In 1889, King UmbertoⅠand Queen Margherita heard about pizza and asked to try it. They invited pizza maker, Raffele Esposito, to make it for them. He decided to make the pizza like the Italian flag, so he used red tomatoes, white mozzarella cheese and green basil leaves. The Queen loved it and the new pizza was named “Pizza Margherita” in her honour.
    Pizza went to America with the Italians at the end of the nineteenth century. The first pizzeria in the United States was opened in 1905 at 53 Spring Street, New York City, by Gennaro Lombardi. But the popularity of pizza really exploded when American soldiers returned from Italy after World WarⅡ and raved about(夸赞) “that great Italian dish”. Americans are now the greatest producers and consumers of pizza in the world.
    小题1:Which is the correct order of the changes of pizza?
    A．Plakuntos→pizza→piceaB．Pizza→plakuntos→picea
    C．Picea→plakuntos→pizzaD．Plakuntos→picea→pizza
    小题2:Why are Mexico and Peru important in the development of pizza?
    A．Because pizza first became popular in these countries.
    B．Because pizza was invented in these countries.
    C．Because one topping was brought to Italy from these countries.
    D．Because people there are the greatest consumers of pizza.
    小题3:What do the Italian flag and a Pizza Margherita have in common?
    A．There is a picture of a Pizza Margherita.B．They have the same colours.
    C．Both of them represent Italy.D．They are both popular in Italy.
    小题4:When did pizza become really popular in the United States?
    A. After 1945.      B. In 1889.     C. In 1905.         D. By 1000AD.
    小题5:What’s the best title of the passage?
    A．McDonald’s and PizzaB．Global Pizza
    C．Pizza in the United StatesD．How to Make Pizza

    Section One
    The city is an accumulation of human civilization. Just as the American social philosopher Lewis Mumford put it, it is a special system which, fine and compact, has been designed to preserve the fruits of human civilization. Many Western languages have developed their versions of the term “civilization” from the same Latin word “civitas”(meaning “city” ), and it is by no means a coincidence. The city has played a significant role in the perfection of order in human society.
    Section Two
    The emblem(会徽), showing the image of three people ― you, me, him/her holding hands together, symbolizes the big family of mankind. Inspired by the shape of the Chinese character “世” (meaning the world), the design conveys the organizers' wish to host an Expo which is of global scale and which shows the various urban cultures of the world.
    Section Three
    Created from the inspiration of Chinese character “人”, the design roots deeply in Chinese culture. It tells the world the eternal core (永恒的核心) and theme of Shanghai World Expo will be always human. The mascot “Haibao” will become the messenger for the theme of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China “Better City, Better Life”.
    The basic structure of the Chinese character “人” in which each stroke supports each other also shows the concept that the beautiful life should depends on mutual-help（互相帮助）. If the human are willing to support one another, the harmony among human, nature, and society will be available. Such an urban life will be nice.
    Haibao’s confident smile is expressing his sincere greeting from China ― “World Expo 2010 Shanghai China welcomes you!”

    In the current economic downturn, many American schools are adding a new subject to the curriculum（课程）; financial literacy. One program in Virginia even gets students out of the classroom for a day to learn how far their money will go in the real world.
    What looks like a shopping mall is actually an educational field trip experience for a group of young people. Finance Park is a special facility where students apply what they have been taught in class about money management.
    “They become, essentially, adults for the day,” says Alice Reilly, social studies coordinator for Fairfax County Public Schools. “They are asked to develop a budget for 18 line items that you and I might have in our budget; things like utilities, insurance, groceries, housing.”
    Each budget item is represented by a storefront where students collect an option sheet. Students must refer to a card that shows their income and their family size, when they choose what to buy. There’s also a stock ticker so students can keep track of shares in their portfolios（投资组合）.
    The facility opened last year in Fairfax, Virginia. It is the fifteenth Finance Park built in the last decade by Junior Achievement USA, a non-profit organization dedicated to preparing young people for financial success.
    “Since the financial crisis, the demand for Finance Parks around the country has grown exponentially," says Ed Grenier, president of the Washington, DC chapter. "We have a number under way in the planning and building stages.”
    Financial literacy has only recently become part of the regular curriculum in Fairfax County.“Some students, some teachers, some schools did it, but now it is much more systematic," Reilly says, "and it is much more consistent to ensure that all students get this background information.”
    That is why every eighth grade student in Fairfax County will eventually spend a day here.Thirteen-year-old Sam says she has learned an important life lesson. “I didn’t know how expensive everything would be.”
    Anthony, also 13, is looking forward to telling his parents what he learned. “I’ll probably tell them I want to stay a kid a little longer and take my time to become an adult.”
    This isn’t the end of financial studies for Anthony and the other students here. Virginia is one of 13 states which requires students to take a financial education in high school in order to graduate.
    小题1:What is the aim of this Finance Park?
    A . To raise enough money for the secondary schools in Virginia.        
    B. To enable students to apply money management knowledge to   practice.        
    C. To provide students in Virginia with special chances for Advanced Placement.         
    D. To direct students in Washington,D.C. to learn more about money management.
    小题2:Who is expected to spend a whole day in the Finance Park?
    A .Young people all over Virginia.        
    B. Junior students in Washington,D.C.       
    C. Eighth graders in Fairfax County.      
    D. Eighth graders' parents in Virginia.
    小题3:What can we learn from this passage?
    A . Extra curriculum is necessary in secondary schools.       
    B. Fairfax County Public Schools set a good example.
    C. An organization helps youth in U.S. for financial success.        
    D. Financial Literacy is very popular in Washington,D.C.
    小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that _________________.
    A . Alice Reilly developed a budget for 18 items in the Finance Park.       
    B. ED Grenier was against building more finance parks in U.S.A.        
    C. Sam did quite well in  managing his budge in the Finance Park.        
    D. Anthony came to know that adult life wasn't as good as expected.
