【题目】 Deep in the middle of Sri Lanka, a massive column of rock reaches out from the green tropical forest. It is 660 feet tall and features frescoes (壁画), graffiti, and landscaped gardens.

The rock is known as Sigiriya and holds a special place in the island's cultural history.

It was established as the stronghold of a king over 1,500 years ago, and today the Sigiriya complex stands as one of the earliest preserved examples of ancient urban planning.

Located in the Central Province, the column of rock is somewhat central to the country. The rock is known as Sihagiri, meaning "Lion Rock", a nod to the giant animal carved from stone which greeted visitors at the entrance.

In 476 BC. King Dhatusena ruled over Sri Lanka. One of his illegal sons, Kashyapa, wanted the throne (王位). Kashyapa overthrew Dhatusena and drove his brother Moggallana to Southern India. Kashyapa crowned himself king in 477 BC.

King Kashyapa chose Sigiriya as his palace because its position was an advantage to the defensive stronghold, offering fantastic 360-degree views. Plans to build a city quickly unfolded and after several years, the Sigiriya complex had become a business center for the new King.

Sigiriya was both a palace and a fortress (堡垒); the overall complex featured five gates and measured just under 3 km by just over 1 km. The site plan consisted of a fortan upper palace on the top of the rock,and lower palaces at ground level. The king also constructed gardens throughoutand for protection a river with walls surrounded the complex.

Frescoes decorate the western side of the rock, along with the mirror wall, a brick face covered in a highly-polished white plaster. When new, the wall was said to be able to produce Reflections.

Over time the Mirror Wall became a graffiti board, covered in verses written by visitors. Known as "Sigiri Graffiti", some of the messages date to the 8th century CE.

1It is implied in the passage that Sigiriya was built to ______________.

A.preserve the culture of Sri LankaB.prove the ancient urban planning

C.keep the King from being attackedD.protect the green tropical forest

2According to the passage, some visitors would _________.

A.have a reflection before the Mirror Wall

B.leave comments on the Mirror Wall

C.draw beautiful paintings of girls on the wall

D.be lost in thought before the Mirror Wall

3What do we know about Sigiriya?

A.Its entrance is carved like a lion.B.Its gardens are at ground level.

C.Its western side is a mirror.D.Its palaces are on the top of the rock.

4What is the best title of the passage?

A.The giant lions in Sri Lanka.B.The pearl of the Indian Ocean.

C.The Lion Rock of Sri Lanka.D.The mirror wall in a rock.

【题目】 First impression is very important.1Either consciously or unconsciously, we make judgments about the characters and abilities of others based on first impressions. And here are some tips on how to make a good first impression.

Be confident in who you are. Whether it is a formal function or an informal get-together, the key is to be confident in yourself. Having confidence is a very attractive character. You don't need to be the smartest or the most physically appealing person to be confident about yourself.2

Be calm. When other people see how calm you are in any situation, they will look forward to depending on you.3When others see the ease with which you handle yourself, they will also let go off their anxieties regarding meeting someone new for the first time.

Be yourself. Don't pretend to be someone you're not.4Be honest. If somebody finds out you have been presenting yourself falsely, they can feel hurt and it might be hard for them to forgive you.

Develop approachable and friendly body language.5If you are planning to approach the other person first, walk over confidently and introduce yourself with a firm handshake. The gesture of taking the first step will assure(使确信)the person that you are interested in them and the smiling face will signal your friendly nature.

A.A smile goes a long way, so be kind and smile.

B.Your calmness will assure them of your abilities.

C.You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

D.Never lie to anybody about what you think and care about.

E.Don't shake hands with persons who find body contact uncomfortable.

F.Just be cautious not to be overconfident or abrupt, which can turn people off.

G.The belief that you're good enough makes you appear more attractive to the people around you.

【题目】 I once met a well-known botanist at a dinner party. I had never talked with a botanist before, and I found him very interesting. I sat there absorbed and listened while he spoke of unusual plants and his experiments (he even told me astonishing facts about the simple potato). I had a small indoor garden of my own—and he was good enough to tell me how to solve some of my problems.

As I said, we were at a dinner party. There must have been a dozen other guests, but I broke an important rule of politeness. I ignored everyone else and talked for hours to the botanist.

Midnight came. I said good night to everyone and departed. The botanist then turned to our host and said many nice things about me, including that I was a “most interesting conversationalist”.

An interesting conversationalist? I had said hardly anything at all. I couldn’t have said anything if I had wanted to without changing the subject, for I didn’t know any more about plants than I knew about sharks.

ButI had done this one thing; I had listened carefully. I listened because I was really interested. And he felt it. Naturally that pleased him. That kind of listening is one of the best ways to show respect to others, and it makes them feel great too. “Few human beings,” wrote Jack Woodford in Strangers in Love, “can resist the sweet effect of rapt attention.” I went even further than that. I was “sincere in my admiration and generous in my praise”. I told him that I had been hugely entertained and instructed. I told him I wished I had his knowledge. Itold him that I should love to wander the fields with him. What’s more, it was all true.

And so I had him thinking of me as a good conversationalist when, in reality, I had only been a good listener and had encouraged him to talk.

1From Paragraph 1, we can learn that the writer__________.

A.was deeply moved by the botanist’s talk

B.was amazed by what he was hearing

C.was not in a comfortable situation

D.behaved politely and properly

2Which of the following does the writer describe as a rule of politeness at dinner parties?

A.Avoiding discussions about politics and religion.

B.Listening carefully to what another guest says.

C.Arriving and leaving at the appropriate time.

D.Giving attention to all those in attendance.

3The underlined expression “rapt attention” in Paragraph 4 is closest in the meaning to__________.

A.full understandingB.strong interest

C.great uncertaintyD.little curiosity

4According to the writer, which of the following is an important characteristic of a good conversationalist?

A.Listening attentively and encouraging the other side to continue.

B.Encouraging the other side by sharing his/her own opinions.

C.Promising a future meeting for more communication.

D.Expressing respect by nodding his/her head.
