11.Africa is a very diverse land with many different tribes.One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color.They do this for many reasons.Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group.(71)B Let's look at some different examples of body painting.
(72)A Among the Masai of East Africa,when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people,they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red.This ceremony take place every seven to fourteen years,so there is not an exact age for participating in it.The Samburu,also from East Africa,like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive.
(73)D To show that he has killed a lion,a man will paint his body with a natural white material,making special marks to represent this accomplishment.The Masai men also use this white to show that they are no longer boys and are considered adults.
One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa.Once a year,they have a beauty contest for men.(74)GThen they add white and black circles and lines.Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth,which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful.(75)E.

As you travel,enjoy the beautiful and bright colors of Africa.
A.Red is the common color in body painting because it often represents health and long life.
B.Other marks are used for ceremonies such as weddings and during times of war.
C.The ceremony expresses hope for rain.
D.The Masai men also have a unique way of showing that they are brave.
E.The women then decide which man they like best.
F.The men pretend to fight each other.
G.The men paint their faces yellow and red.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了非洲的一些部落,他们喜欢在身上和脸上涂一些颜色,不同的颜色代表着不同的含义.

解答 71.B.推理判断题.与上文的顺承,Some marks are usedto identify people as part of a group,句意为:一些标记被用来鉴别人的身份作为族人的一部分,故下文应是另一部分标记是用在某些仪式上比如说婚礼和战争的时候.与some相对应的others故答案应为B.
72.A.推理判断题.与下文的衔接.they participate ina special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red.他们参加一些特殊的仪式,在这种仪式上他们头和脸涂上了红色.本自然段讲述了红色的意义,故答案应为A.
73.D.推理判断题.对下文的理解.To show that he haskilled a lion,a man will paint his body with a natural white material,makingspecial marks to represent this accomplishment.为了显示,他已经杀死了一头狮子,一个男士将把他涂成白色,使得这种特殊的标记来显示他们的成就.所以答案应为D,意为,是用独特的方式来显示他的勇敢.
74.G.推理判断题.上下文的衔接.The men paint theirfaces yellow and red.把他们的脸涂上黄色和红色,与下文接着再加上黑白相间的圆,在眼的附近和嘴唇上涂上黑色相照应,故答案为G.
75.E.推理判断题.根据前文Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth,which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful在眼的附近和嘴唇上涂上黑色与他们的眼睛和牙齿的白色形成对比,显示他们更加帅气,目的是吸引自己的另一半,也就是说,这个时候女士才能决定她们最喜欢哪一个;故选E.

点评 考察学生的推理判断能力和联系上下文的能力,在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.此类的填空题一定要联系上下文,根据上下文的内容加上自己的理解,再作出正确的判断.

Keeping Positive During a Long Job Search

(76)
DWhen you no longer have a job to report for every day,you can easily lose motivation.Treat your job search like a regular job,with a daily"start"and"end"time.Following a set schedule will help you be more efficient and productive while you're out of a job.

(80)
FYou can't control how quickly a possible boss calls you back or whether or not he decides to hire you.Rather than wasting your energy and time on things that are out of your hands,turn your attention to things you can control during the time when you are out of a job,such as writing a great cover letter and resume to the company you want to work for,setting up meetings with your networking contacts and so on.

16.Telephone,television,radio,telegraph and the Internet all help people communicate with each other.As a result,ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world.For example,within seconds,people can know the results of an election in another country.An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set.News of a disaster such as an earthquake or a flood can bring help from distant countries within hours.Help is on the way.Because modern technology like the satellites travels all over the world,information travels fast.
How has this speed of communication changed the world?To many people,the world has become smaller.Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller.It means that the world seems smaller.Two hundred years ago,communication between the continents took a long time.All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean.In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America.This time difference influenced people's actions.For example,one battle,or fight,in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided.A peace agreement had already been signed.Peace was made in England,but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America.During these six weeks,the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought.Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty (条约)had been signed.In the past,communication took much more time than it does now.
There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.

3.What do they really mean?
Food manufacturers and retailers are letting shoppers down.This is the view of the CWS,which has just brought out a new report.
    According to the report,shoppers believe food labels because they think there are strict regulations in place.(50)E.So the food industry can get away with all sorts of tricky strategies to make products look bigger and sound better than they are.
    The report has identified the different ways in which shoppers are misled.(51)G.Descriptions on packaging are sometimes inaccurate in an attempt to oversell the product.One example given in the report is the phrase"haddock fillets",used for a product that is in fact cut from big blocks of fish rather than individual slices.
  (52)A.These include"traditional","wholesome",or"premium".The claim that a brand is"90% fat-free"hides the fact that it contains 10% fat,which above recommended levels.Phrases such as"free from preservatives"make a virtue out of a normal attribute of food.
     Labels have a wide variety of text sizes on them.You sometimes need a magnifying glass to read the small print.(53)D.
    Another deliberate type of misinformation lies in the image.Many pictures on packets use small plates to make the product look bigger.(54)C.
    However,misleading messages on packaging could soon be a thing of the past.The CWS recently produced a code which,if used,would end the current inaccuracies and half truths.It has called on the government to support it as a way of improving food standards.

A.Meaningless adjectives are often used to give a positive message.
B.An officer says the labels will receive very serious consideration.
C.Photographs are sometimes retouched to achieve the same effect.
D.By contrast,the hard sell information is given emphasis.
E.The rules are,in reality,very weak at present.
F.This result has not pleased the food industry.
G.The most common of these is poor labeling.
