11.Fluency(流利) in another language is one of the most important aims of a newcomer to another country.In addition,understanding the culture and learning to communicate comfortably with people of that culture are as important as learning the rules of the language.Language learning and culture learning go together and may take a long time.?
  Sometimes people f eel that they understand a culture after a few weeks or months.People do learn a lot when they first begin living in another culture,but this is only the first stage of learning.It usually involves(含包) things like learning everyday activities and some basic customs.?
To really understand another culture,people have to go beyond the first stage,This is challenge because it is often difficult to know what to learn.Much of what we call"culture"is hard to see.
  Culture is like an iceberg(冰山).Picture in your mind a huge iceberg in the ocean.The only part of the iceberg that you see is the tip.You don't see the rest of the iceberg because it is hidden from sight in the water.It is easy to forget that it is there.Most of the iceberg is deep within the ocean,just as much of a culture is deep within its people.?
  When you meet someone from another culture,certain culture differences are obvious:You hear another language or you hear your own language spoken with an accent.You see different foods,clothes and sometimes physical characteristics of people.You observe new customs or habits,such as the use of chopsticks,and,bowing or kissing on both cheeks as a greeting.These differences are interesting and important,but they are usually not too difficult to understand.They are visible so they are seen easily and quickly.?
  The part of culture that is like the underwater part of the iceberg consists of assumptions(设想),communication styles,values,and beliefs about what is right and wrong.The hidden part of culture affects much of a person's way of thinkin g and communicating.It is the meaning behind his or her verbal (言语的) and nonverbal language.Learning to communicate well with people from another culture involves becoming aware of the hidden part of cultur e.

3.You often find somebody who works around you complaining all the time,don't you?(36)BAbout 70% of Americans say being around non-stop complainers sometimes has a bad influence on them.Luckily,here are 4tips to help form positive patterns.
1.Form self-awareness
When a negative thought pops into your mind,immediately correct it.Instead of telling"That's a nice shirt,but I can't afford it",change the message into"That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it".(37)G
2.Distance yourself
(38)EExcuse yourself and go somewhere quiet,somewhere outdoors in the fresh air.Think of something pleasant before returning.You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand(困境).
3.Don't try to change complainers
If you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event,simply choose silence.Let their words bounce off you while you think of something else.Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target.(39)F If someone says,"I hate Mondays,weekends are too short,"try to think,"I'm glad that I rested up over the weekend,so I'm really ready to make some improvement on that big project."
(40)C
When someone is shouting at you angrily,throw the responsibility back at them by asking,"So what do you intend to do about it?"In most cases,complainers don't really want a solution.They just want to speak it out.If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solution,they will leave you alone and find someone else to complain to.If so,you will be happy.

A.Find solutions
B.You are not alone in this case.
C.Change responsibility
D.You will never know what they are going to talk about.
E.Whenever possible,escape from negative conversations.
F.But you can redirect the discussion in your own mind.
G.By doing this,it will lead to positive behaviors.
20.When I was 12,all I wanted was a signet (图章) ring.They were the"in"thing and it seemed every girl except me had one.On my 13th birthday,my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it.I was in heaven.
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being"replaced".We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything-so most of the"new"stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost.But not my ring.My ring was new.
Then,only one month later,I lost it.I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning.I was sad and searched everywhere for it.But it seemed to have disappeared.Eventually,I gave up and stopped looking for it.And two years later,we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed,and a couple of moves later,I was visiting my parents'when Mum told me that she had something for me.It wasn't my birthday,nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion.Mum noticed my questioning look."You'll recognize this one,"she said,smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box.I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations,which included replacing the carpets.When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom,they found the ring.As it had my initials carved into it,they realized who owned the ring.They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother.And it still fits me.

27.The underlined word"in"in the first paragraph probably means"A".
A.fashionable               
B.available                 
C.practical                 
D.renewable

1.A Swiss airplane powered only by energy from the sun left from Abu Dhabi early on March 9,2015.Its creators hope the plane will make the first around-the-world journey without any fuel(燃料).
The plane is called Solar Impulse 2.It has one seat and is made from carbon fiber.The plane weighs only as much as a car but its wings are wider than a Boeing 747.The plane's wings stretch 72meters across.Those wings include 17,000solar units (太阳能板) that collect the sun's energy.The energy allows the plane to fly day and night.
Two Swiss scientists built the plane.One is Bertrand Piccard,also an explorer,who made the first non-stop flight around the world in a balloon.The other is Andre Borschberg who is an engineer and trained fighter pilot.In their opinion,they are not trying to change the airplane industry.Instead,they want to show that new energy sources and technologies can make what is impossible possible."We want to show we can fly day and night in a plane without a drop of fuel.''Mr.Piccard said.
Some parts of the trip will require the pilots to be in the small plane for five to six days and nights on end.So it is good that the pilot's seat is also a toilet.
The plane begins its tour in the United Arab Emirates.The pilots also plan stops in Oman,India,and China.They will cross the Pacific Ocean,stop in the United States,and continue over southern Europe or North Africa.They plan to arrive back in the United Arab Emirates in late July or early August.Internet viewers can go to the Solar Impulse website to see the plane's location and listen to broadcasts from the pilots.

25.What do we know about the plane"Solar Impulse 2"?A.
A.It can be powered from the sunlight.B.It looks like a car with long wings.
C.It can collect energy day and night.D.It can fly without any energy.
26.The two scientists build the solar powered plane toD.
A.fly around the world for the first time
B.change the airplane industry on purpose
C.train the pilot to try the solar powered plane
D.test the new energy and technologies on plane
27.The phrase in paragraph 4"on end"is similar toC in meaning.
A.frequently
B.occasionally
C.continuously
D.regularly
28.Which of the following is Not right according to the passage?D.
A.The plane will complete the world tour in 4-5months.
B.The plane can be tracked on the Solar Impulse website.
C.The pilot aboard will broadcast to the Internet viewers.
D.The flight tour begins from east to west around the world.
