题目内容

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

One fallmy wife Elli and I had a single goal:to photograph polar bears. We were staying at a research camp outside “the polar bear capital of the world”-the town of Churchill in ManitobaCanada.

Taking pictures of polar bears is amazing but also dangerous. Polar bears-like all wild animals-should be photographed from a safe distance. When I'm face to face with a polar bearI like it to be through a camera with a telephoto lens. But sometimesthat is easier said than done. This was one of those times.

As Elli and I cooked dinnera young male polar bear who was playing in a nearby lake sniffedand smelled our garlic bread.

The hungry bear followed his nose to our campwhich was surrounded by a high wire fence. He pulled and bit the wire. He stood on his back legs and pushed at the wooden fence posts.

TerrifiedElli and I tried all the bear defense actions we knew. We yelled at the bearhit pots hardand fired blank shotgun shells into the air. Sometimes loud noises like these will scare bears off. Not this polar bear though-he just kept trying to tear down the fence with his massive paws(爪子).

I radioed the camp manager for help. He told me a helicopter was on its waybut it would be 30 minutes before it arrived. Making the best of this close encounter(相遇)I took some pictures of the bear.

Elli and I feared the fence wouldn't last through 30 more minutes of the bear's punishment. The camp manager suggested I use pepper spray. The spray burns the bears' eyesbut doesn't hurt them. So I approached our uninvited guest slowly andthrough the fencesprayed him in the face. With an angry roar(吼叫)the bear ran to the lake to wash his eyes.

【题目】 Soaps are television serial (连续的) dramas of a highly dramatic and sentimental (情感的) nature. They are called soaps because many of them were originally funded by soap companies. They were appealing to an audience primarily made up of house wives. Soaps tell us a lot about the viewers they are produced for. These long-running serials, with potentially endless episodes (), are concerned with everyday life. They are generally aimed at the lower classes in a country.

In the US, the most popular soaps usually feature the lives of the rich, the charming and the beautiful. Their houses are always beautiful, big and well decorated. The characters lead exciting lives. Most of these characters are very ambitious. One of the most popular soaps is The bold and the Beautiful. The name says it all really! It is set in Los Angeles and centred on the attractive and wealthy Forrester family and their impossibly gorgeous fashion house business. It is probably the most watched soap in the world.

The British prefer to see ordinary characters rather than the gorgeous high-flyers of the US soaps. They prefer to view on TV what they have experienced personally and what they actually see around them. They believe that one should accept one’s station in life and not attempt to be more than one actually is.

Coronation Street, first shown in 1960, is the longest-running British TV soap opera. It is watched by about one-third of the British population, more often by women, by older people, and especially by people from lower socio-economic groups. EastEnders is another popular British show, though it appeals to a younger generation. Again the characters tend to be working class. In addition to women, young people and men are also given strong roles in order to reach a wider audience.

Thus the soaps can teach us a lot about the audience that they are intended for. The characters, settings and even the story lines can show us what appeals to British and American people.

1What’s the relationship between soaps and soap companies according to Paragraph 1?

A.Soap companies are named after soaps.

B.Soap companies support soaps financially.

C.Soap companies depend on soaps for promoting their products.

D.Soap companies make soaps appealing to the public.

2How does the author introduce US soaps in Paragraph 2?

A.By using examples.B.By making comparisons.

C.By analyzing causes.D.By describing processes.

3Which is the difference between British soaps and American soaps?

A.The audience they are intended for.B.Their popularity and influence.

C.The characters’ class and the settings.D.Their tradition and history.

4What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A.To show his love for soaps.

B.To remember some of the classic soaps.

C.To introduce American and British soaps.

D.To encourage audience to watch more soaps.

【题目】Traditions of giving middle names vary around the world.

Scotland

Middle names are actually a fairly recent discovery in Scotland. However, as the practice has become popular around the world, it has become pretty common for Scottish babies to have middle names. Because last names in Scotland are generally associated with their family roots, and first names usually describe a physical characteristic, many parents see a middle name as an opportunity to give their baby a slightly more creative name.

Spain and Latin America

In Spain and Latin America, a middle name is a way to break free from the cultural code governing first names. In some countries, even first names are legislated(立法) to be of Christian origin. In Chile, most girls are named Maria, after the Virgin Mary, so the middle name is used in practice for differentiation. Maria is the most common name in the Spanish-speaking world, so in all Spanish-speaking countries the middle name takes on great significance.

Russia

In Russia, both boys and girls are given middle names based on their father's first name. For boys, the middle name usually has ovich, or evich, added to its ending. For girls, the middle patronymic(从父名衍生出的名字) name usually has ovna, or evna, added to its ending. People in Russia are often referred to by both their first and middle names, sort of the way parents in America use their children's full names when they're trying to get their attention(or yell at them). Close friends in Russia often don't use their first names completely, and use only patronymic names, when talking to each other.

Australia

According to Law Buddy, an Australian legal advice service, child naming laws in Australia allow Birth Registrars to refuse to register baby names that to be offensive to register to careless, inappropriate, ridiculous. They do allow for children to get a middle name, which is typically reserved for the mother's maiden name(娘家姓),provided, of course, that the mother's maiden name is not offensive, careless, inappropriate, or ridiculous.

1What do we know about giving middle names in Scotland?

A.It needs to be based on their family roots.

B.It's opposed by the elderly in the country

C.It mainly describes a baby's appearance.

D.It didn't become common until not long ago

2What role do middle names in the Spanish-speaking countries play?

A.Showing family roots.

B.Showing their unique culture.

C.Describing a physical characteristic.

D.Allowing people to have different names

3What is a typical feature of middle names in Russia?

A.They usually have the same ending.

B.They're usually very creative names.

C.They're usually difficult to remember.

D.They're based on their father's middle name.

4What should parents in Australia consider when naming their children?

A.Avoiding a middle name.

B.Avoiding registering baby names.

C.Using the mother's proper maiden name.

D.Using an unusual name for differentiation.

【题目】 First impression is very important.1Either consciously or unconsciously, we make judgments about the characters and abilities of others based on first impressions. And here are some tips on how to make a good first impression.

Be confident in who you are. Whether it is a formal function or an informal get-together, the key is to be confident in yourself. Having confidence is a very attractive character. You don't need to be the smartest or the most physically appealing person to be confident about yourself.2

Be calm. When other people see how calm you are in any situation, they will look forward to depending on you.3When others see the ease with which you handle yourself, they will also let go off their anxieties regarding meeting someone new for the first time.

Be yourself. Don't pretend to be someone you're not.4Be honest. If somebody finds out you have been presenting yourself falsely, they can feel hurt and it might be hard for them to forgive you.

Develop approachable and friendly body language.5If you are planning to approach the other person first, walk over confidently and introduce yourself with a firm handshake. The gesture of taking the first step will assure(使确信)the person that you are interested in them and the smiling face will signal your friendly nature.

A.A smile goes a long way, so be kind and smile.

B.Your calmness will assure them of your abilities.

C.You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

D.Never lie to anybody about what you think and care about.

E.Don't shake hands with persons who find body contact uncomfortable.

F.Just be cautious not to be overconfident or abrupt, which can turn people off.

G.The belief that you're good enough makes you appear more attractive to the people around you.
