四、阅读理解（每小题2分，共20分）

A

Some years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, “Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us.” That “quite” saddened me. I thought he was saying “We’re kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else.” Then I discovered that in American English “quite” sometimes means “very”, while in British English it means “fairly”.

So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don’t just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures.

Some of these differences may be only on the surface dress food and hours of work while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate, while getting on with business.

Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality. If you invite people to a party at 7 o’clock, your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word “late” because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.

46. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought _________. A. the American bank didn’t think highly of him B. the American bank might hire another person C. its difficult to get used to American culture D. it’s easy to misunderstand Americans 47. The word “highlights” in Paragraph 2 probably means _________.

A. encourages B. helps to narrow C. increases D. draws attention to 48. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences? A. Ask the native people for help. B. Understand and accept them. C. Do things in our own way. D. Do in-depth research. 49. When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual (准时) are _________. A. Italians B. Germans C. Greeks D. the British 50. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. The ways people do things B. Don’t judge people by their behaviors

4

C. Different countries, different cultures

D. It’s nothing wrong to be late

B

Once upon a time, Disney sent its subpar sequels (低水准的续集) to the kingdom of Straight-to-Video a magical land filled with such titles as “The Return of Jafar,” “Cinderella II: Dreams Come True” and “The Little Mermaid I: Return to the Sea.” It was a happier time, one that is now apparently over, as “Frozen II” hits theaters.

“Frozen II” starts of on shaky ground, largely because it backtracks on much of the character development Anna and Elsa went through in the first movie. At the end of “Frozen”, Elsa had learned that her powers were a gif, not a burden, and she had become confident and proud in using them. At the beginning of “Frozen II”, that confidence is gone.

Whatever technical advancements have been made in computer animation over the past six years aren’t readily apparent in “Frozen I,” which mostly has the same frosty look as the first film. An impressive sea battle between Elsa and a glowing ice horse just go with it is as good as the visuals get.

The biggest disappointment? The music. In “Frozen,” even the throwaway songs had wit. Returning composers Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson Lopez try to give Elsa two show-stopping numbers: “Into the Unknown” and “Show Yourself.” But neither song reaches any emotional heights. (Never mind that there really isn’t a show to stop.)

Yes, “Frozen I” is a letdown when compared with “Frozen”. “It’s hard to see how the same team who made something so cool in 2013 could deliver something so there’s no other word for it lukewarm. 51. How many animation films mentioned in the passage? A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6 52. Which of the following is true?

A. “Frozen II” is more popular than “Frozen”.

B. Elsa regards her superpower as a gift at the very beginning. C. Technical advancements in “Frozen II” is obvious.

D. In “Frozen I”, the characters are developed in almost the same way as those in “Frozen”. 53. What disappoints the author most?

A. character development B. music C. a glowing ice horse D. production team

. What does the underlined word “letdown” mean in the passage? A. miracle B. development C. challenge D. disappointment 55. Where could this passage probably come from? A. a movie review C. advertisement

B. science fiction. D. guidebook

阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡，上将该项涂黑。 What is the different between happy people and unhappy people? ____56____ Read the following list of things that HAPPY people do differently form UNHAPPY people and you will know.

Well, I can tell you for sure that those people who are really happy, FEAR less and LOVE a lot more. They see each moment, each challenge, each person as an opportunity to discover more about themselves and the world around them. ____57____

Happy people understand that you can’t really change a situation by resisting (反抗) it. But they can feel better by understanding that there might ‘be a reason for its existence (存在). ____58____ But rather, they ask themselves questions like: What can I learn from this? How can I make this better? They always seem to be pleasant and hopeful no matter what happens to them.

They do the things they do because of the meaning it brings into their lives and because they get a sense of purpose by doing so.

____59____ They care more about living a life full of meaning rather than, what in our modern society we would call, living a successful life. The fact here is that most of the time they get both, success and meaning, just because they choose to focus on doing the things they love the most.

____60____ They make sure that their actions bring meaning and happiness in the lives of many. They look for ways to give and to share the best of them selves with the world and to make other people happy.

A. What are the things that these people do differently?

B. The things happy people do are not for themselves, but for the good of others. C. They are ready to embrace whatever lies in front of them.

D. They understand that “Doing what you love is the most important for living a full life.”

E. When something unpleasant happens to them, they don’t try to fight it, knowing that this will make the situation even worse.
