练习册系列答案

1．I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s，we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep．His name was Mr．Basille．He wore a white cap and drove a white truck．As a 5-year-old boy，I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt．He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer．
Of course，he delivered more than milk．There was cheese，eggs and so on．If we needed to change our order，my mother would pen a note-"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"and place it in the box along with the empty bottles．And then，the buttermilk would magically appear．
All of this was about more than convenience．There existed a close relationship betwen families and their milkmen．Mr．Basille even had a key to out house，for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors，so that the milk wouldn't freeze．And I remember Mr．Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table，having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery．
There is sadly no home milk delivery today．Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk，thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete．Besides，milk is for sale everywhere，and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service．
Recently，an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories．I took it home and planted it on the back porch （门廊）．Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is．So I start telling stories of my boyhood，and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk．
25．Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changerC．
A．to show his magical power．
B．to pay for the delivery
C．to satisfy his curiosity．
D．to please his mother．
26．What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house？B
A．He wanted to have tea there．
B．He was fully trusted by the family．
C．He was treated as a family mmber．
D．He was a respectable person
27．Why does home milk delivery no longer exist？A
A．It has been driven out of the market．
B．Nobody wants to be a milkman now．
C．Its service is getting poor
D．It is forbidden by law．
28．Why did the author bring back home an old milk box？D
A．He planted flowers in it．
B．He wanted to tell interesting stories．
C．He missed it for his milk bottles．
D．He missed the good old days．

18．Gestures are the"silent language"of every culture．We point fingers or move another part of the body to show what we want to say．It is important to know the body language of every country，or we may be misunderstood．
In the United States，people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction．The handshake must be firm．If the handshake is weak，it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness．Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder．Some people，usually women，greet with a hug．
Space is important to Americans．When two people talk to each other，they usually stand two and a half feet （69centimeters） away and at an angle（角度），so they are not facing each other directly．Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close．They will move back to have their space．If Americans touch another person by accident，they say，"Pardon me"or"Excuse me"．
Americans like to look at the other person in the eyes when they are talking．If you don't do so，it means you are bored，hiding something，or are not interested．But when you stare at someone，it is not polite．
Learning a culture's body language is sometimes very difficult．If you don't know what to do，the safest thing to do is to smile．

21．From the first paragraph we can know thatB．
A．gestures don't mean anything in a talk
B．gestures can help us to express our meaning
C．we can learn a language well without its body language
D．only American people can use gestures

A．shake your friends'hands all the time
B．shake your friends'hands with your eyes looking up
C．greet your friends in a polite way
D．greet a girlfriend by putting hands on her shoulders
23．In the United States，people oftenD．
A．show their friendship by touching each other
B．show their friendship by glancing at each other
C．say"Pardon me"to each other in a talk
D．feel uneasy when you stand too close to them
24．When an American friend is interested in what you are talking，he wouldB．
A．say"Pardon me"or"Excuse me"

5．The boss finallydrew a conclusion（得出结论） that the lady wasn't the right person for the job．

15．People with many different relationships use small talk．The most common types of people to use small talk are those who do not know each other at all．It is also common for people who are only acquaintances，often called a"friend of a friend"，to use small talk．
There are certain"safe"topics that people usually make small talk about．The weather is probably the number one thing．Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or start a conversation．Another topic that is generally"safe"is current events，such as sports news and entertainment news．If there is something that you and the other speaker have in common，that may also be acceptable to talk about．Negative comments about another person not involved in the conversation are not acceptable because you cannot be sure who his friends are when you do not know a person well．
People make small talk just about anywhere．Most often，small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something．For example，you might chat with another person who is waiting for the bus to arrive．Some social events （such as a party） require small talk among guests who do not know each other very well．
The most common time for small talk to happen is the first time you see or meet someone．However，the next time you see each other，you might just smile and say nothing．Do not interrupt （打断） two people in order to discuss something unimportant，such as the weather．If someone is reading a book or writing a letter in a waiting room，it is not proper to initiate a conversation either．

36．The third paragraph mainly tells usD．
A．how people make small talk
B．people like making small talk
C．why people make small talk
D．where people make small talk
37．What can we learn about small talk according to the text？C．
A．Small talk only happens between strangers．
B．When people feel lonely，they will start small talk．
C．Unpleasant comments about another person aren't a"safe"topic．
D．Small talk only happens when people want to make friends．
38．The underlined word"initiate"in the last paragraph probably means"B"．
A．end
B．start
C．control
D．avoid．

2．Sleep is just as important as diet and exercise，and not getting enough sleep can lead to obesity，heart trouble and other health problems．Now scientists are adding more wake-up call to that list：lack of sleep damages the brain．
People who regularly have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep （one study drew the line at 6.8hours ） show changes in brain-----actual shrinking（缩小），in some cases---in area important for memory and problem solving．
"We've always believed that we can take the weekend to catch up and be fine，"says Sigrid Veasey，a researcher in University of Pennsylvania，but that may not be the case．When she stopped mice from sleeping for 3days，they lost 25% to 30% of the neurons （神经元） important for focused attention----and these remaining were damaged．What's more，these brain cells never grew again．
Clearly，something important is happening while we sleep，but exactly what sleep does for the brain has been a mystery．That's why scientists got excited when researchers at the university of Rochester Medical Center recently offered a new theory．While observing the brains of sleeping mice，they discovered a kind of brain-cleaning system that clears away neural waste，the buildup of which is connected with Alzheimer's．
In another study，young healthy people whose sleep was limited to 7hours per night for one week showed damaged brain function．Scarier is that with long-lasting short sleep，you may feel fully rested．When study subjects were limited to 4hours of sleep for 5days，they reported feeling very tired following the first night but they didn't get any sleepier after that．
What's more，a 15，000-person study found that getting an average of less than 5hours of sleep per night for several years resulted in a decrease in memory performance equal to the brain aging 2years．
Have we persuaded you to turn in early tonight？Excellent．
32．The text is mainly aboutA．
A．how lack of sleep damages our brain．
B．why we feel rested without enough sleep．
C．how much sleep we should get every day．
D．Why we have trouble falling asleep sometimes．
33．Sigrid Veasey's research shows thatB
A．lack of sleep doesn't affect our attention．
B．damaged brain cells can not recover．
C．sleeping on weekends can make up for lost sleep．
D．most neurons will die if we sleep poorly for 3days．
34．According to paragraph 5，after several days of short sleep people may feelC．
A．tired
B．sleepy
C．energetic
D．angry
35．According to the 15，000-person study，lack of sleep may causeD．

19．Despite the fact that the Queen is currently alive and well，a secret plan has already been laid out for her death．
A code word has already been decided upon to deliver the news of her passing to the highest tiers of the government．
While the death of George VI was signalled by the words ^"Hyde Park Corner"--to stop operators at Buckingham Palace learning the news-the equivalent （相等的）word for Queen Elizabeth II is"London Bridge is down''．
The Prime Minister at the time will be woken，if not already awake，and informed by civil servants that"London Bridge is down"．
These words will signify the Queen has passed away，and Operation London Bridge-a highly-organised set of arrangements-is to start．
The Foreign Office's Global Response Centre，located at an undisclosed location in London，will then immediately inform 15 governments outside the UK where the Queen is also the head of state．After this，the centre will pass on the news to the 36 other nations of the Commonwealth （英联邦）for whom the Queen has served as a symbolic figurehead for many decades．
It will not be long before the news spreads from world leaders to the general public，with the news of her passing to the Press Association and thus the global media as well．
This marks a break from the long-held tradition of the BBC being the first news outlet to learn of royal deaths．What's more，while George VI's death was not announced until four hours after he died，news of the Queen's death will be far more instant．
A footman in mourning clothes will be sent out of the door at Buckingham Palace at the same time to pin a notice of the news to the gates，while the official palace website will feature-just one page，letting out the news on a dark background．

24．What are the code words for the Queen's death？C
A．Hyde Park Comer．
B．Buckingham Palace．
C．London Bridge is down．
D．Operation London Bridge．
25．Why will 15 governments outside the UK be informed of the news immediately？B
A．The Queen once served there．
B．The Queen also governs them．
C．The Queen is the former head．
D．The Queen is the symbolic head．
26．Who used to let out the news of royal deaths？A
A．The BBC．
B．A footman．
C．Civil servants．
D．World leaders．
27．What will people know from the footman's notice？D
A．A secret plan has a code．
B．George VI is alive again．
C．The Prime Minister is woken．
D．The Queen has passed away．
