【題目】 Cala didn’t like us. Any of us. We didn’t do anything to offend her and she didn’t know us but that didn’t matter, she still didn’t like us.
As new teacher in the Emirati school, we Westerners greeted her every day. She ignored us. She came into our rooms and bypassed us as she shook hands with all the non Westerners. Whenever we saw her, she avoided eye contact with us. Eventually, we stopped trying to befriend her.
I won’t say her nationality but her friends had been fired from the school, we had been employed in their places and that was enough for her to have nothing to do with us.
Well after 16 months in the school we had a secret friend gifting. To my surprise, I drew her name from the glass jar and that meant she was my secret friend. My role was to buy her a gift and say something about her when we publicly acknowledged who our secret friend was.
I decided to gift her a coloured bangle(手鐲). I added a postcard and wrote “Love and Blessings, Rose-Marie.”
Then came the day. We all gathered in the meeting room. When you received your gift, you said a few kind words about your secret friend and passed the gift to them. What could I say? Everyone knew she didn’t like the Westerners. She taught music in the school so I said”My secret friend is someone who brings music to our ears every day.”She came forward with a huge warm smile. She hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks and accepted my gifts.
Since then, she smiles often. We hug and shake hands when we meet. I have seen her wear my gift several times and I am so pleased.

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中I won’t say her nationality but her friends had been fired from the school, we had been employed in their places and that was enough for her to have nothing to do with us.“我不愿透露她的國籍,但她的朋友們被學校開除了,我們代替了他們的位置,這就足以讓她與我們無關了。”可知,Cala之所以不喜歡西方的老師是因為他們取代了她朋友的位置。故選C。
【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段I decided to gift her a coloured bangle(手鐲). I added a postcard and wrote “Love and Blessings, Rose-Marie.” 我決定送她一個彩色手鐲。我加了一張明信片,上面寫著“愛和祝福,玫瑰瑪麗。”和第六段Then came the day.

Everyone knew she didn’t like the Westerners. She taught music in the school so I said”My secret friend is someone who brings music to our ears every day.”She came forward with a huge warm smile. She hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks and accepted my gifts. 這一天終于來了。我們都聚集在會議室里。當你收到禮物時,你說了幾句關于你的秘密朋友的好話,然后把禮物遞給他們。我能說什么呢?大家都知道她不喜歡西方人。她在學校教音樂,所以我說:“我的秘密朋友是一個每天給我們帶來音樂的人。”她帶著溫暖的笑容走上前來。她擁抱我,親吻我的雙頰,接受我的禮物。由此可知,作者用自己的真誠和智慧改變了Cala的態(tài)度。故選D。
【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段Since then, she smiles often. We hug and shake hands when we meet. I have seen her wear my gift several times and I am so pleased.“從那以后,她經常微笑。我們見面時擁抱和握手。我好幾次看到她戴著我的禮物,我很高興。”由此可知,這個故事的結尾是“美麗的”。故選C。

We hug and shake hands when we meet. I have seen her wear my gift several times and I am so pleased.“從那以后,她經常微笑。我們見面時擁抱和握手。我好幾次看到她戴著我的禮物,我很高興。”由此可知,這個故事的結尾是“美麗的”。故選C。

【題目】 I was a newcomer in a class. So was Alice. That's where the similarities ended. I was tall and she was small. My thick, black hair had been recently cut short. Her natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great. I was awkward and shy. She wasn't. I couldn't stand her. I considered her my enemy. She liked me. She wanted to be friends.
One day, she invited me over and I said yes — I was too shocked to answer any other way. No one had invited me over to play. But this girl who wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school. I got very surprised when she led me into an apartment building. She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister. When we got to the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies — which was my next surprise. I would have thought she'd outgrown them. I had never played with them. But we sat on the floor of a walk-in closet, laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. That's when we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older and we both had wild imaginations. We had a great day that afternoon. Our jaws ached from smiling so much. She showed me her wardrobe, which had mostly come from a designer clothing store down the block. The woman who owned it used her as a model sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes in exchange.
Alice had the whole neighborhood charmed. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free slices. Soon I was included in her magic world. We slept over at each other's houses, and spent every free moment together. My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being tall.
Alice, my first real friend since childhood, taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: that your worst enemy can turn out to be your best friend.
【1】What made the similarities end?
A.Leaving the author's old school.
B.Being admitted to their new classes.
C.Their differences in appearance and personalities.
D.Their different demands of friendship and fashion.
【2】What did the author think of the Barbies?
A.Alice was too mature for them.
B.Alice must have made them by herself.

A.helped the author see her own strengths
B.was good with the people around her
C.helped to bring out the best in the author
D.inspired the authors love for fashion
【4】Which of the following best describes Alice as a friend?

【題目】閱讀下面的短文,根據(jù)其內容寫一篇60詞左右的內容概要。
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize (強調) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries -like the UK or France -people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment (多元文化環(huán)境)will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

During the National Day holiday, my parents and I paid a visit my grandparents by train. There was a large number of people and the train was crowded, but everyone helped those who had lots of baggages and behaved politely. Along the way, we enjoyed beautifully views. At the first, we saw one hill after another. Then what came into view were fields with green crops. After a six-hour trip, they arrived at our grandparents’ house. Exhausted although I felt, I was happy to see my grandparents, which I hadn’t seen for a long time. It’s really an excited trip because it was the first time that I had taken so a long-distance train.
