【解析】

試題分析：在各國慶祝生日的方式大不相同。

【1】考查副詞辨析。上下兩句體現(xiàn)出轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，且該副詞后有逗號，故填副詞However.

【2】考查同位語從句。該句句意為：在西方，許多生日傳統(tǒng)都與古人相信邪靈會在人們生日當天出現(xiàn)有關(guān)。分析句式可知，“bad spirits showed up on a person's birthday”為同位語從句，說明名詞belief的具體內(nèi)容，又因為該從句句意、結(jié)構(gòu)均完整，故選用連接詞that.

【3】考查謂語。因為該句描述情況為目前一般情況，且主語birthdays與動詞celebrate之間為被動關(guān)系，故填一般現(xiàn)在時的被動語態(tài)are celebrated.

【4】考查非謂語。該處為get的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)，因為cover與其邏輯主語their noses為被動關(guān)系，故該空應(yīng)填cover的過去分詞covered.

【5】考查名詞。分析句子成分可知，該空為介詞for的賓語。故填“幸運”的名詞形式：luck.

【6】考查副詞。分析句子成分可知，該處應(yīng)填副詞來修飾動詞hit，故填副詞“輕輕地”：lightly.

【7】考查形容詞性的物主代詞。根據(jù)語境可知，該處句意為：他們過幾歲生日，就把他們往地上輕撞幾下。故該空填their.

【8】考查冠詞。該句句意為：墨西哥也有一個獨特的生日傳統(tǒng)。tradition為可數(shù)名詞，該處為泛指，故填冠詞a.

【9】考查介詞。“填滿、充滿”：be filled with/ be full of, 故該空填介詞with.

【10】考查連詞。根據(jù)語境可知，該句句意為：蒙住眼睛的小壽星拿著棒子使勁地敲那只紙制動物，“直到”這個紙質(zhì)的動物被敲破。故該空填連詞until.

【題目】When you were looking for a reliable，honest auto mechanic（機修工），how did you find him？Before you went into that restaurant you recently tried，how did you know that it served great food？If you are like most people on the planet，you want to lower your risk of a big ugly surprise so you asked people you trust to refer to a business they trust. Marketers（營銷人員）call this friendtofriend recognition of a business “wordofmouth”（口碑）advertising.

When you do a great job for your customer or a bad job，people are going to talk about your business. Unfortunately，because we humans seem to feel negative emotions more intensively（強烈地） than positive ones，we're more likely to tell more of our friends about bad experiences with a business than positive ones. Understand this：Customers believe their own experience. You can't make them believe that your company is wonderful when they felt they were treated badly.

So，to get positive wordofmouth going for your business in this servicebased economy，you've got to do a really outstanding job for everyone，exactly.

And when you do，you build a great reputation (名聲). That takes time. But it forms a close link with your customers in a way that no advertising and no promotional（促銷的）coupon(優(yōu)惠券) ever could.

The good news is that because there are so many different businesses chasing after（追趕）your customers' money，people want to know whom they can trust. So people are going to be talking about you create a free sales force for your business—— an army of delighted customers who tell everyone that they know how good your company is to do business with. That's a great antidote (解藥) to nonconfidence.

【1】According to the passage，whether we go to a place or not depends on ________.

A．business fames B．a(chǎn)ssociates' recommendation

C．particular recognition D．media assistance

A．說明 B．提及 C．提供參考 D．適用于

【3】The passage says that customers won’t believe the services are good until__________.

A．they get some promotional coupons

B．the business chase after their money

C．they themselves are treated well

D．they see the advertisement is good enough

【4】The underlined word “nonconfidence”in the last paragraph probably means ________.

A．service imperfection B．service advertisement

C．customers' protection D．customers' distrust

【5】What is the main topic of this passage?

A．A company can rely on its associates to survive.

B．A person should rely on his friends for business.

C．Advertising can make customers believe it's wonderful.

D．A good name will bring you money.

【題目】Besides entertainment and beautiful lanterns, another important part of the Lantern Festival, or Yuanxiao Festival is eating small dumpling balls made of glutinous (粘性的) rice flour (粉狀物). We call these balls Yuanxiao or Tangyuan. Obviously, they get the name from the festival itself. It is said that the custom of eating Yuanxiao originated during the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the fourth century, then became popular during the Tang and Song periods.

The fillings (餡料) inside the dumplings or Yuanxiao are either sweet or salty. Sweet fillings are made of sugar, walnuts (核桃), sesame（芝麻）, osmanthus flowers (桂花), rose petals（花瓣）. A single ingredient (原料) or any combination can be used as the filling. The salty variety is filled with minced meat (肉末兒), vegetables or a mixture.

The way to make Yuanxiao also varies between northern and southern China. The usual method followed in southern provinces is to shape the dough (生面團) of rice flour into balls, make a hole, insert the filling, then close the hole and smooth out the dumpling by rolling it between your hands. In North China, sweet or nutmeat stuffing is the usual ingredient. The fillings are pressed into hardened cores, dipped lightly in water and rolled in a flat basket containing dry glutinous rice flour. A layer of the flour sticks to the filling, which is then again dipped in water and rolled a second time in the rice flour. And so it goes, like rolling a snowball, until the dumpling is the desired size.

The custom of eating Yuanxiao dumplings remains. This tradition encourages both old and new stores to promote their Yuanxiao products. They all try their best to improve the taste and quality of the dumplings to attract more customers.

【1】Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Sweet Yuanxiao are usually made in southern China.

B. Sugar, rose petals and minced meat are all fillings of Yuanxiao.

C. The custom of eating Yuanxiao dates back to the fourth century.

D. People in northern China usually make Yuanxiao by rolling like a snowball.

【2】The way of making Yuanxiao varies between _________ China.

A. southwestern and northwestern

B. eastern and western

C. southeastern and northeastern

D. northern and southern

【3】Choose the right order of making Tangyuan in southern provinces.

① make a hole and insert the filling

② roll the dough between your hands

③ shape the dough of rice flour into balls

④ close the hole

⑤ prepare some rice flour

A. ⑤③②①④ B. ⑤③①④②

C. ③①④②⑤ D.③⑤①②④

【4】What is the best title of this passage?

A. The Lantern Festival

B. The ingredients of Yuanxiao

C. China’s traditional food—Yuanxiao.

D. The difference between Yuanxiao and Tangyuan.

【5】Why do we eat Yuanxiao today?

A. Because it’s a tasty food.

B. Because it’s a tradition.

C. Because we love our country.

D. Because it’s promoted by both old and new stores.

【題目】Britain's most popular lie has been disclosed, with one in four people admitting using “sorry I had no signal" when returning a missed mobile phone call, a survey found．

Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year．Almost one in six men admitted they were most likely to lie to their wife or girlfriend, on average at least twice a day．The most popular lie was saying you had no mobile phone signal, with one in four people admitting regularly using the little white lie．It usually came after they hit the “ignore" button when their mobile rang．

Three quarters of people think women are better liars．The research found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying, compared to 58 of men．

The second most common fib is “I haven't got any cash on me” when asked for money by beggars and Big Issue sellers．“Nothing's wrong – I'm fine” came third followed by “You look lovely” and “Nice to see you”．

Modern technology turned out to have contributed to many lies with “I didn't get your text” in 18th, “Our server was down” in 20th and “My battery died” in 26th place．Other lies to make the top ten included “I'll give you a ring”, “We're just good friends” and “We'll have to meet up soon”．“I'm on my way” and “No, your bum doesn't look big in that” completed the top ten．

In many cases perhaps it is better to delight someone with a fib than destroy someone with the truth, according to a spokesman for One Poll, which carried out the research of 4,300 adults．He added: ‘As a nation we just like trying to be nice and not upsetting people．Often little white lies can cover what we actually want to say．Most of these were considered completely harmless．’

【1】“You look lovely” and “Sorry, I had no signal” ranked __________ on the popular-lie list．

A．fourth and tenth B．fourth and first

C．third and tenth D．third and first

【2】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．sentence B．expression

C．excuse D．lie

【3】How many lies does an average Briton tell on average every month?

A．About 120 B．About 360
