14．Shaking hands is a part of business life．and while it's a simple gesture，it's important to getit right Here are some tips to follow．
（1）Make eye contact．The handshake is firstly a form of greeting and as such you are looking at the person to make a connection with him or her，beyond the immediate physical handshake．
（2）Introduce your self．A handshake is only part of the graeting process； combine it with an oral introduction or message．
（3）Use your right hand If you have something to do with your right hand，you should explain to him or her and say sorry while showing your left hand to him or her to get the forgiveness．
（4）Be firm and steady．No one likes a dead-fish handshake，but it's not a wrestling contest，either．The pressure you need to apply is about what you'd use to pick up a full drink bottle．
（5）BA few seconds is all that is needed．Your aim is to greet the person，not to trap him．
Here is something that you should not do．
（1）Squeeze lt's called a handshake，not a hand squeeze Squeezing can hurt the other person's hand，especially if he or she is wearing rings．
（2）Use a two-handed shake．Don't do that unless it's a person you know well．Between new acquaintances，the double-handed shake can be considered smarmy（讨好的）．This also napplies to using the left hand to touch the person's shoulder．
（3）Use a dirty or sweaty hand．If you're nervous and your palm is sweat，press your palm against your leg to wipe it dry．

36．According to the passage，before a handshake，if you are doing something with your right hand，C．

C．you should explain and apologize              D．you can use your left hand

C．Make sure that your hand is dry before shaking hands．
D．Use your right hand to squeeze his or her hand．

36．C  细节题．由第四段第二句"If you have something to do with your right hand，you should explain to him or her and say sorry while showing your left hand to him or her to get the forgiveness．"可知，右手被占用时，应向对方道歉并取得原谅，所以C项符合题意．故正确答案为C．
37．B 推断题．第五点的意思是：握手只需持续几秒钟就够了，你的手是用来打招呼的，不是用来困住对方的．由此可推断第五点强调握手时间不能太长，简单快速地握手就够了，B项符合题意．故正确答案为B．
38．C 细节题．由最后一段最后一句"If you're nervous and your palm is sweat，press your palm against your leg to wipe it dry．"可知C项正确．A项，由倒数第二段前两句"Use a two-handed shake．Don't do that unless it's a person you know well．"可知A项错误．B项，由倒数第二段最后两句"Between new acquaintances，the double-handed shake can be considered smarmy（讨好的）．This also applies to using the left hand to touch the person's shoulder．"可知B项错误．D项，由倒数第三段第二句"Squeezing can hurt the other person's hand，especially if he or she is wearing rings．"可知D项错误，故正确答案为C．
39．B 细节题．由第一点中的"you are looking at the person to make a connection with him or her"可知A项文章有提及．由第四点第二句"The pressure you need to apply is about what you'd use to pick up a full drink bottle．"可知C项文章有提及．由第五点第一句"A few seconds is all that is needed．"可知D项文章有提及．文章没有提到B项所说的内容，所以B项符合题意．故正确答案为B．
40．主旨题．由第一段最后一句"Here are some tips to follow．"可知文章将给出关于如何握手的建议．下文给出了握手时应该做到的和不该做的注意点，所以全文主要是为了给出建议．D项符合题意，故正确答案为D．

5．Community theatre is a theatre that is run by a local district with the efforts of volunteers．They offer many different kinds of productions，such as musical theatre，dance theatre and children's theatre．Usually，performers are amateurs who receive no pay，but at other times professionals get involved，and they are paid．Community theatres of today are a little different ftom the old"little theatres"，as most are simply run by colleges and their theatre departments．Community theatres are a great way to get involved with local actors．Now，most theatres put on shows that will entertain or benefit the community．
In the 1880s，"little theatre"was started in Europe so that poor people could see theatrical productions without having to travel far or pay a lot．In 1910，this idea traveled to the United States．In the early years，community theatres were even funded by the government，but when shows became too political，government funding was stopped．
Community theatres of today are a little different from the old"little theatres"，as most simply want to infuse little culture into the lives of the local citizens．In many cases，these theatres are run by colleges and their theatre departments．These productions are often free of charge，or charge very little money to pay for costumes and other incidental expenses．Many also encourage the participation of children and other young people to let them develop theatrical skills，as well as to keep them busy so that they do not choose to get into trouble．Additionally，for those who desire strongly to become professional actors and to one day get a chance to act in a national theatre production，it is an exciting place to learn and develop theatrical skills．

In Brazil，most people wear white clothes on New Year's Eve to bring good luck for the new year．If they live near a beach，after midnight，people go there，light candles in the sand，throw flowers in the sea and make a wish．They say that the goddess who protects the sea will make their wishes come true．

19．Two Christmas traditions have come under attack in recent years from environmentalists：Christmas cards and Christmas trees．
Paper cards are seen as wasteful and，for some people，going card？free is another way of going green．They also argue that in a world of e-mail，Skype，Facebook and Twitter，people are in touch all the time anyway； they no longer need the yearly card that connects them with long lost friends．If you want to send Christmas greetings，there are free e-cards，which get the job done with no postage or wasted paper．
However，especially to people who didn't grow up with e-mail，there is something missing from a Christmas e-mail．The first Christmas cards appeared in London in 1843and were designed by the same man who had introduced the world's first postage stamp three years earlier．His name was Sir Henry Cole．
They rose in popularity throughout the 20th century．Many people sent cards that were sold for charity．The most famous of these are the ones sold for UNICEF．In the UK this year，in the three weeks before Christmas，the post office expects to handle 100million cards every day．Environmental awareness also means that nowadays many people recycle their cards； this helps raise money to plant more trees，as well as recreating more paper．
When we think of trees at Christmas，there is one that immediately springs to mind-the evergreen tree that people decorate with ornaments and place their presents under．The custom dates back almost a thousand years to Germany，Nowadays 33to 36million Christmas trees are produced in America and 50to 60million in Europe each year．Some trees are sold live with roots and soil so people can plant them later and reuse them next year．
Some people prefer artificial trees as they are reusable and much cheaper than their natural alternative．However，environmentalists point out that they are made from petroleum products and they have much pollution．

63．What is the main idea of the article？D
A．To analyze how two Christmas traditions grew in popularity．
B．To introduce the history of two typical Christmas traditions．
C．To point out the problems in some traditional ways of celebrating Christmas，
D．To explain the debate environmentalists and traditionalists about Christmas traditions．
64．Some people suggest getting rid of paper cards becauseC．
a．they can not be recycled and reused
b．they are not environmentally friendly
c．they are mostly sold for charity

e．they are not as necessary as they used to be for people
A．a，b，d         B．a，c，d            C．b，d，e           D．b，c，e

6．The round-the-clock（24小时不断的） availability that cell phone have brought to people's lives may be taking a toll on family life，a new study suggests．The study，which followed more than 1，300 adults over 2 years，found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout die study period were more likely to report negative"spillover"between work and home life-and，in turn，less satisfaction with their family life．
Spillover essenrially（本质上） means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear．Work life may invade home life when a parent ia taking job-related calls at home，for instance-or family issue may start to take up work time．For example，a child may call mom at work，telling her"microwave exploded"，explained Noclle Chesley．an assistant professor of sociology at the Univcisity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the author of the study．The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing forever more spillover between work and home．
This may be especially true for working women，the study found．Among men，consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep（潜入） into family time．But for women，the spillover tended to go in both directions being"connected"meant that work cut into home time，and family issues came into work life．
Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members．But there may be ways to control the spillover，according to Chesley．"Employers"，she said，"could look at their policies on contacting employees after hours to make sure their expectations are‘reasonable'"．"For their part，employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time，"Chesley said．
61．What does the underlined phrase"taking a toll on"probably mean in Paragraph 1？D
A．Explaining                           B．Protecting．          
C．Extending．                          D．Damaging．

A．To show the microwave is of poor quality．
B．To indicate how dependent me child is．
C．To indicate family issues affect work hours．      
D．To show work time creeps into family life．
63．As a result of negative"spillover"，people will feelA
A．less satisfied with their family life                
B．less satisfied with their work
C．angry with their troublesome children             
D．unwilling to get married at an early age
64．According to Chesley，what is the best solution to the problem caused by cell phones？B
A．Refuse to use cell phones．                       
B．Separate work hours from family time．
C．Ignore coming calls during family time．          
D．Encourage women to stay at home．
