11.When we say someone"blows his own trumpet(小号)",we mean he talks too much about achievements (61)connected(connect) to himself.That expression usually shows disapproval.(62)Buta girls'school in Britain encourages its students to blow their own trumpet.
Many excellent girls find (63)itdifficult to accept that they have been successful.(64)To raise(raise) these girls'sense of self-worth,the school held the"Blow Your Own Trumpet"week last month."Some teenagers,particularly girls,focus on what they can't do,never(65)realizing(realize) they have done well enough,"said Heather Hanbury,head of the school."And this can go into (66)later(late) life,with women not getting to the position in (67)which they might do well,simply because they are less willing to blow their own trumpet."
During the"Blow Your Own Trumpet"week,students(68)were encouraged(encourage) to talk about their experiences of success and failure.
Ms.Hanbury said she wanted her pupils to be (69)confident(confidence) in the things they're good at and to know they're not good at everything,recognizing their own strengths and (70)weaknesses(weak).She also wanted girls to understand that talking about their own achievements isn't the same thing as showing off.

分析 本文介绍了英国的一所女子学校鼓励学生们自吹自擂,从而增强学生的自信心.

解答 61:connected 考查非谓语.本题考查过去分词作定语修饰名词,achievents与connect之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作定语"与他自己有关的成就",所以答案填connected.
62:But 考查连词.前一句句意:这种表达方式通常表示反对,后一句句意:英国的一所女子学校鼓励学生们自吹自擂.两句之间是转折关系,所以填but.
63:it 考查代词. 分析句子可知本句的宾语是动词不定式,it是形式宾语.
 64:To raise  考查非谓语.本句是考查动词不定式在句中做目的状语,句意:提出这些女孩的自我价值感.
65:realizing  考查非谓语.本句中realize的逻辑主语是 Some teenagers,它们之间是主谓关系,所以用现在分词在句中做伴随状语.
66:later 考查形容词.根据句意:这可以进入以后的生活.later形容词"以后的,后来的".
 67:which  考查定语从句.句意:因为女性没有达到她们可能做得好的位置.这是一个定语从句,先行词是position,在从句中做状语,所以用in which 来引导.
68:were encouraged 考查被动语态.句意:学生们被鼓励谈论他们成功和失败的经历.学生和encourage之间是被动关系,所以用被动语态.时间状语During the"Blow Your Own Trumpet"week在"自吹自擂"周,所以用过去时.
69:confident  考查形容词. 她希望她的学生们自信,confident形容词"自信的"在句中做be 的表语.
70:weaknesses 考查名词.他们的长处和短处their own strengths  用复数形式,短处也要用复数形式weaknesses是名词的复数形式.

点评 语法填空题是考查学生的语言运用能力.解题时,要在理解文章的基础上,灵活运用语法知识,如词性,时态,名词单复数,连接词,代词,冠词等判断空白处应填写的内容.答完后,还要通读全文,核对所填单词形式是否正确,是否符合语境.

1.You might have seen this in US TV dramas.A group of girls knock on people's doors,trying to sell cookies.What are they doing?They are Amercican Scouts(女童子军),and(41)selling(sell) cookies is a tradition of(42)theirs(they).
Selling cookies is just one activity among all the fun things that Girl Scouts do.The Girl Scouts of the USA is a group(43)founded(found) in 1912.It offers all kinds of activities to girls and lets them learn skills.
Boys can be scouts too.(44)Butthey join a different group called the Boy Scouts of America (RSA),(45)whichwas founded in 1910.
Now there are 1.9 million Girl Scouts in the US,according to the group,Usually,they go(46)camping(camp) and learn how to build fires and use a compass.Sometimes they also stay(47)indoors(indoor) doing crafts or learning arts.Every time they do an activity or pass a test,they get a badge.
The Boy Scouts love to win the badges too.They have a ranking system.And winning enough badges is(48)amust to get into a(49)higher(high) rank.The highest rank is"Eagle",which(50)requires(require) at least 21badges.Neil Armstrong the first man on the moon,and Bill Gates,the father of Microft,were both Eagle Scouts when they were young.
6.Let's face it--there are lots of reasons to hate McDonald's:calories,cholesterol and,for me at least,that sickening feeling after munching (大口咀嚼) on McNuggets.Then there's always that childish salesman at the drive-through(免下车通道) who forgets the ketchup.
Well,add one more reason to spite McDonald's:as the global economy spirals downward,McDonald's is minting money."In the worst of times for the restaurant industry,it's the best of times for McDonald's,"says Butt Flickinger III,managing director of the Strategic Resources Group,a retail-consulting company.In fact,the company's sales have increased for 55 straight months.Profits grew 11% to $1.2 billion.
The pricing of McDonald's,highlighted by dollar-menu items like apple pies,side salads and yogurt,plus cheap combo meals is a key strength during the recession.In particular,consumers are fleeing casual,family chain restaurants for the convenience and savings of fast food.
The economy is not the only reason people are drawn to McDonald's.The company's management also deserves credit for its success.Back seven years ago,America's obesity was a hot topic,and McDonald's suffered from the strong negative reaction.Changeless food and shabby stores also kept people away."McDonald's was actively persuading customers from coming back,"says John Glass,a Morgan Stanley analyst.
Since that time,McDonald's have remodeled 11,000 stores.At a neat and clean restaurant in the Bronx one weekday evening,Brian Waters,a mailman,sat with his 9-year-old son in a booth.The bright dining area featured abstract paintings of New York City's bridges and the Statue of Liberty."It used to be dark and dull in here,"Waters says."Now it's nice and clean.I don't mind sitting here anymore."Stores have also extended hours:34% of the company's 14,000 U.S.restaurants are now open 24/7.
The menu got an upgrade too.Obscene"super-size"choices were phased out,and healthier options like apples and salads were added.The company changed its coffee blend; coffee sales have soared 70% over the past two years.Chicken McNuggets now consist solely of white meat,which has less fat and fewer calories than the darker-meat mix of old.
Like any other business in this environment,McDonald's faces some potential roadblocks.As the recession wears on,fast-food-service growth may flatten out;plus,McDonald's can expect more price competition.For example,Steak‘n Shake,the diner-style burger chain in 21 states throughout the Midwest and South,is promoting four different meal combos for less than $4."In Los Angeles,every other billboard is a 99-cent food price,"says Glass.The battle for bargain-hunting eaters is on.But given its recent winning ways,McDonald's might just add a few more billion consumers.

24.One of the reasons why the author hates McDonald's is thatD
A.there are always kids messing around in the restaurant.
B.The salesclerk always forget to clean up the drive-through
C.Children always leave the ketchup at the drive-through
D.Some salesclerk always forgets to give him the ketchup
25.What is the key for McDonald's success even during the global economic downturnA
A.Its pricing policy.
B.Its managing policy
C.Its dollar-menu items
D.Its cheap combo meals
26.What happened to McDonald's seven years ago,according to John Glass?C
A.It suggested that fast food not be abused.
B.It persuaded customers to eat elsewhere
C.The size of its customers was shrinking
D.Customers had more expectation on it

16.Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships.For example,in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure.Yet it also has other uses.A woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child.A smile may show love or politeness.It can also hide true feelings.It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures.For example,many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don't smile enough.In Southeast Asian culture,a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings.Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions (情感),but we should not attempt to"read"people from another culture as we would"read"someone from our own culture.The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.Rather,there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted.For example,in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do.When with friends,Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States.People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others.The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different.If we judge according to our own cultural habits,we may make the mistake of"reading"the other person incorrectly.

27.What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?C
A.Love.B.Politeness.C.Joy.D.Thankfulness.

B.Learn about their relations with others.
C.Find out about their past experience.
D.Figure out what they will do next.

3.In much of Asia,especially the so-called"rice bowl"cultures of China,Japan,Korea(61)andVietnam,food is usually eaten with chopsticks.
Chopsticks are usually two long,thin pieces of wood or bamboo.They can also be made of plastic,animal bone or metal.Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic.Truly elegant chopsticks might(62)be made(make) of gold and silver with Chinese characters.Skilled workers also combine various hardwoods and metal(63)to create(create) special designs.
The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years.People probably cooked their food in large pots.(64)using(use) twigs (树枝) to remove it.Over time.(65)as/whenthe population grew,people began cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly.Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs which (66)gradually(gradual) turned into chopsticks.
Some people think that the great Chinese scholar Confucius.(67)who lived from roughly 551 to 479 B.C.,influenced the (68)development(develop) of chopsticks.Confucius believed knives would remind people of killings and (69)were(be) too violent for use at the table.
Chopsticks are not used everywhere in Asia.In India,for example,most people traditionally eat (70)withtheir hands.
