15.When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong,China,we brought our village rules,customs and culture.One of the(61)rules(rule)is that young people should always respect elders.(62)Unluckily(luck),this rule led to my very first(63)embarrassment(embarrass)in the United States.
I had a part-time job in a Chinese restaurant,(64)whereI worked as a waiter.Once,when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple,the wife asked(65)me(I) how the food could be served so quickly.I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect(66)theelderly.As soon as I said that,she didn't look happy at all.My manager,who happened(67)to hear(hear) what I said,took me aside and told me Americans dislike the description"old".I then walked back to the table and apologized(68)tothe wife.
After that,I changed the way I(69)had been(be) with older people.It is not that I don't respect them any more;I still respect them,(70)butnow I don't show my feelings through words.

分析 短文主要讲了作者搬去美国后由于文化的差异,对老年人的尊重也从言语上变为了行动上的事情.

解答 61.rules,考查名词,one of+可数名词复数,表示"…之一",因此使用rule的复数形式.     
62.Unluckily,考查副词,此处应使用副词修饰整个句子,根据语境是"不幸地",故答案为unluckily.     
63.embarrassment,考查名词,位于形容词性物主代词my后应使用embarrass的名词形式embarrassment.     
64.where,考查定语从句,句子先行词a Chinese restaurant在从句中充当地点状语,因此使用where引导.       
65.me,考查代词,位于ask后的宾语,应使用I的宾格形式me.
66.the,考查冠词,the+形容词,表一类人,因此使用定冠词the.      
67.to hear,考查固定搭配,happen to do sth."碰巧做某事",因此使用动词不定式.        
68.to,考查介词,表示"向某人道歉"使用短语apologize to sb..               
69.had been,考查时态,表示过去的过去,应使用过去完成时had done的形式.      
70.but,考查连词,前后构成转折的关系,因此使用but.

点评 对于语法填空这类题,一是懂得分析句子结构,二是知道充当各个句子成分的词类或词性,从语法上确定答案,当然,对于某些固定搭配也要牢记,在平时的学习中要多积累这些词汇或短语,对于句子使用的时态语态也要通过语境进行确定.

3.Small talk is a popular way of getting to know someone,getting into a school or job,or just passing the time.But do you think you're good at it?And do you even know how to do it?If not,then it's never too late to learn.The art of small talk is the art of talking about unimportant things like the weather.So why should you find it iportant?
It's completely free.It doesn't matter if you fail,and you never know where it will go."It can lead to many results,from a pleasant exchange to the signing of a million dollar business deal",according to Brett Nelson in Forbes Magazine.The good things to small talk don't stop there.It can also make us smarter,as a study by researchers at the University of Michigan found that friendly,social communication could help us solve problems.
You may be wondering how best to break this ice.Weather is probabl the number one thing that people who do not know each other will discuss.Sports news in also a very common topic,especially if a local team or player is doing extremely well or badly.And if you and the other speaker have something in common,that may also he acceptable to talk about.For example,if the bus you are on is full,you might talk about the reasons why.
Complimenting (恭维)someone on their clothing or hair is acceptable; however,you should probably not say anything-good or bad一about a person's body.Basically,any subject that makes the otherperson give a deep-thought answer in not welcome.If you bring up something like death,religion,politics,for serious opinions,you will turn people off.

10.A hospital has been forced to ban Pokemon Go players from the site after a monster hub(妖怪枢纽站) was found in the A&E department.Royal Stoke Univrsity Hospital discovered that its casualty unit(急诊室) is on the sme spot as a Pokemon Go‘gym'--where players can train their newly caught Nintendo creatures.
The University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust agreed last week that patients can play Pokemon Go on wards because walking around is healthy.But the Trust has been forced to post a warning on its website about public access to A&E.It said if Pokemon Go becomes a major annoyance it would ask Nintendo--which decides on the locations of the virtual gyms according using GPS--to have it removed from the premises(道馆).
Kevin Parker,associate chief nurse,said,"Members of the public who do not need to be at Royal Stoke should not attempt to enter A&E or any other part of the hospital building to play the game.The A&E department is incredibly busy this summer.We wan the public to understand that anybody who visits the hospital solely to play the game will provide an unwanted distraction to the important work of the hospital.I'm also aware of various reports in the media of unsafe areas that the game has been played in."
"Royal Stoke University Hospital is a safe area where gamers can enjoy Pokemon Go."Michelle Harris,the Trust's manager,said the game could still be played by those already in hospital."We recognize that the Pokemon Go game encourages walking and exercise,which is something that the Trust is equally keen to promte,"she said.
There are a number of"walking routes"established throughout the Trust that can be used to combine walking and playing the game."Walking just 30minutes,five times a week,can help reduce the risk of preventable illnesses such as obesity,diabetes,and hert disease."
There have been several warnings about the game since its UK release.Last week a group of teenagers in Wiltshire were left stranded almost 100ft underground after they got carried away searching for Pokemon Go characters.The four boys,aged 16 and 17,ended up getting lost and had to wait to get a phone signal before they could call for help.Eventually,they contacted Dorset and Wiltshre Fire and Rescue team,who took them to safety.Damien Bence,of the fire and rescue team,said:"Pokemon Go is obviously leading people into dangerous situations."

20.What is body language?Body language is a term used to describe the method of communication using body movements or gestures instead of spoken language or other communication.Body language also includes many movements that most people pay no attention to,such as winking(眨眼)and slight movements of the eyebrows and other facial expressions.
Perhaps body language is one of the most powerful forms of human expression,which makes up 50% or more of what we are communicating to other persons.If you wish to communicate effectively,besides the words,you can use your body to say what you mean.
Also,body language is one of the easiest ways for you to tell what's really going on in a conversation with another person.The body language that you observe from other people will tell you whether or not those people are telling you the truth,or whether there is something more that's not being said.Watch,look and observe.Sometimes you can tell more by a person's body language than his words.
Besides,body language can be used for all sorts of things,such as showing confidence and winning respect in any situation.You can use body language to make people less nervous and make friends quickly persuaded and influenced.

10.The‘Phone  Stack(堆)'Game
Whenever Michael Carl,the fashion market director at Vanity Fair,goes out to dinner with friends,he plays something,called the"phone stack"game:Everyone places their phones in the middle of the table; whoever looks at their device before the check arrives picks up the bill.As smartphones continue to burrow(钻入) their way into our lives,and wearable devices like Google Glass threaten to eat into our person space even further,overburdened users are carving out their own device-free zones with special tricks and life hacks.
"Disconnecting is a luxury that we all need,"Lesley M.M.Blume,a New York writer keeps her phone away from the dinner table at home."The expectation that we must always be available to employers,colleague,family:It creates a real obstacle in trying to set aside private time.But that private time is more important than ever."Much of the digital detoxing (戒毒)is centered on the home,where urgent e-mails from co-workers,texts from friends,Instagram photos from acquaintances and updates on Facebook get together to disturb domestic quietness.
A popular method is to appoint a kind of cellphone lockbox,like the milk tin that Brandon Holley,the former editor of lucky magazine,uses."If my phones is buzzing or lighting up,it's still a distraction,so it goes in the box.",said Ms.Holley,who lives in a row house in Red Hook,Brooklyn,with her son,Smith,and husband,John."It's not something I want my kid to see."Sleep is a big factor,which is why some people draw the cellphone-free line at the bedroom."I don't want to sleep next to something that is a charged ball of information with photos an e-mails,"said Peter Som,the fashion designer,who keeps his phone plugged in the living room overnight.""It definitely is a head clearer and describes daytime and sleep time clearly."
Households with young children are especially mindful about being overconnected,with parents sensitive to how children may imitate bad habits.But it's not just inside the home where users are separating themselves from the habit.Cellphone overusers are making efforts to disconnect in social settings,whether at the request of the host or in the form of friendly competition.The phone-stack game is a lighthearted way for friends to police against rude behavior when eating out.The game gained popularity after Brian Perez,a dancer in Los Angeles,posted the idea online.

A.Because they have to do some work at home
B.Because they are expected to be always available to the outside

D.Because digital devices can enrich people's family life.
65.What does Peter Som do to ensure his sleeping quality at night?A
A.He  puts his phone in the living room.
B.He ignores any information in the phone
C.He deletes all information in his phone
D.He puts his phones in a lockbox
66.Why does the phone-stack game become popular as soon as it is posted online?D

C.The game can prevent children from imitating their parents'behavior
D.The game meets people's demand for keeping away from phones easily.

Online Degree Programs Face Barriers to SuccessThe United States Department of Education has noted the growing popularity of online degree programs,known as‘distance education'.It reported that 14 percent of all students at American colleges and universities studied through such programs in 2014.
Leanne is one of those students.Her goal was to earn a master's degree in nursing from George Washington University in Washington,D.C.She signed up for the university's online program in 2014.
Leanne chose to study online for many of the same reasons that other students do.She was working full-time,and did not want to move away from her job and family to continue her education.Leanne liked that she was able to study whenever and however much she wanted.
But while the program met her needs at first,Leanne feels there are things she did not get from studying online.She earned her undergraduate degree from a traditional,face-to-face study program at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania.
Leanne says physically being in a classroom helps build a strong connection between students and their professors.She says in some ways she liked taking control and leading her own studies.But many times,she also felt lost without that special connection.
"In the end,there's really no substitute for the exchanges that actually happen in a classroom.So if I were to do it again,I don't know whether I would have made the same decision."
In addition,it may not be just a student's learning that suffers in a distance learning program.There is some concern about what future employers think about an online degree.
Public Agenda is a nonprofit research organization in the United States.In 2013,the group reported on a study of over 600 employment specialists working for American companies.
Fifty-six percent said they were more likely to offer jobs to people with a more traditional college experience,where students and teachers meet face-to-face.Forty-two percent said they thought students in online programs learned less than those in traditional programs.And 39 percent of those questioned said they thought online programs were easier to complete.
It is hard for people to change their ideas about higher education from a professor teaching students in a classroom.Also,some employers may have limited understanding of what is possible through an online program.Many people think studying online just means watching videos of teachers talking.Yet technology is always changing.Computer programs may someday educate and test students in ways human teachers cannot.
However,until there are widely accepted standards for online programs,critical opinions about what online programs can do will likely remain.There is still a long way to go before online and traditional programs operate on the same level.
 
1.Students may choose online study programs because of the following reasons EXCEPT thatB.
A.they can't stop working to continue their education
B.they don't like to take control of their own studies
C.they can decide time and place for their studies
D.they don't want to be away from their family
2.The underlined word"substitute"in Paragraph 6 probably meansA
A.replacement
B.use
C.agreement
D.need
3.We can infer from the passage thatC.
A.students in online programs can't find jobs after graduation
B.Leanne thought online programs suited her better than traditional ones
C.widely accepted standards will win more supporters for online programs 
D.computer programs have more advantages in educating and testing students  
4.What's the author's attitude towards online programs?D
A.Subjective.
B.Supportive.
C.Doubtful.
D.Objective.
