15.The British are often considered to be polite but this can be very (61)confusing (confuse) for non-native speakers.They always think the British say (62)what they mean.In fact,we often say the opposite!Here's an example that will (63)hopefully(hope) explain what I mean.
"You should come around for tea!"a British woman said.
Is this a genuine invitation (64)or is the person just being polite?This phrase is one of those that we say but often don't really mean,so when no (65)further (far) details are given,you can probably assume it is made in (66)the name of politeness!But how does this compare to another country?
This summer,while (67)working (work) in Australia,I was invited by one of my roommates to join her family for a meal out.Although (68)touched (touch) by the invitation,I immediately assumed that she was just being polite so I told her that I didn't want to disturb.She replied with,"If I hadn't wanted you to come,I wouldn't (69)have invited (invite) you in the first place!"
This made me realize that politeness is culturally (70)defined (define).In England,we often think it's polite to offer or suggest something even if we don't actually want to do it,but in other cultures people are more direct.

分析 本文講述了在不同的文化背景之下人際交往方面的不同.
在英國如果別人說"有時間來我家喝茶",那么,如果沒有更進(jìn)一步的邀請,那我們知道這只是一句客氣話.但在澳大利亞,人們就直接的多,如果他們邀請你去吃飯,那么就是邀請,不只是客氣客氣.

解答 61.confusing.考查 派生詞.修飾主語this,做表語用confusing,表示"令人困惑的".  
62.what.考查賓語從句.做賓語從句they mean的賓語,表示"…的事",用what.  
63.hopefully.考查副詞的用法.修飾動詞  explain 用副詞hopefully. 
64.or.考查連詞.is the person just being polite?表示"這個人只是客氣一下",和上句是選擇關(guān)系,所以用or連接.  
65.further.考查比較級.根據(jù)上句可知在沒有更詳細(xì)的語句,無法知道對方的意思,所以用比較級further修飾details.  
66.the.考查冠詞.固定短語in the name of politeness 表示"以禮貌的名義".    
67.working.考查非謂語動詞.做時間狀語,和主語I之間是主動關(guān)系,用現(xiàn)在分詞working.   
68.touched.考查非謂語動詞.做讓步狀語,和主語I之間是被動關(guān)系,用過在分詞touched.  
69.have invited.考查虛擬語氣.根據(jù)從句If I hadn't wanted you to come可知這是一個虛擬語氣句子,表示和過去的事實(shí)相反,所以主句的謂語動詞用wouldn't have invited. 
70.defined.考查被動語態(tài).做謂語,和主語politeness 是被動關(guān)系,所以謂語動詞用is defined.

點(diǎn)評 考查語法填空.
if條件句的虛擬語氣
1.虛擬現(xiàn)在時表示與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反的假設(shè),其if 從句的謂語形式用動詞的過去式(be 一般用were),主句用would/should/could/might+動詞原形.例如:
If places were alike,there would be little need for geographers.如果各個地方都一樣,就不需要地理學(xué)家了.
  2.虛擬過去時是表示與過去事實(shí)相反的假設(shè),if 從句的謂語形式用過去完成時即had+過去分詞,主句用would/should/could/might+have+過去分詞.例如:
If he had known your address yesterday,he would have telephoned you.如果他昨天知道你的地址,他就給你打電話了.
  3.虛擬將來時是表示對將來實(shí)現(xiàn)的可能性很小的或不確定的假設(shè).If從句的謂語形式用一般過去式或用were to/should+動詞原形,主句用would/should/could/might+動詞原形.例如:
If he were to leave today,he would get there by Friday如果他今天就要離開,他會在星期五到達(dá).

Dear classmates,
As the college entrance exams are really around a corner now,many students feel much stressing.What should we do it to avoid this?
Firstly,doing physical exercise was the best way to reduce stress and help people relax.Therefore,it is helpful that we each does some regular physical exercise.Secondly,making a proper study plan is great importance too,since it is helpful for us to do our work more efficient.Last but not least,we should pay special attention in our diet as well.Anyway,a balanced diet can keep them smart and energetic.

In the end,l worked it out but I can tell you I really learned so much by way of practicing patience in those painful early days.
I hope my little daughter who is now a young 23-year-old woman never distances herself from me again,no child should be without a Mother's love.

7.We all know the feeling of walking into an air-conditioned office building on a hot summer day.It's 94℉outside.It's 64℉inside.Suddenly,you need a knit sweater just to sit at your desk.I know someone who used to bring a space heater to work-in August.
Aside from being uncomfortable,this is horrifically inefficient.The low hum of the air conditioner is the sound of coal being burned and money being spent to make you miserable at work.BuildingIQ is trying to change that.Their secret weapon?Machine learning.
The company has developed cloud-based software that gathers information about a building and uses it to build a thermal model (熱模型).That model can predict how much or how little energy is needed to keep the people inside comfortable by analyzing factors like indoor temperature and pressure,electricity consumption,the
weather forecast,the price of electricity,and therefore tailors heating and air conditioning for maximum energy efficiency.
Thanks to a recent cooperation,BuildingIQ will soon take human preferences into account.Changes to heating and air conditioning are always influenced by the limits of human comfort,and those limits vary from person to person.This data will be added into the thermal model.Imagine a retirement home where the occupants are always too cold.If the system knows this,it will reduce the air conditioning in the summer to keep grandma and grandpa nice and warm.
How well does it work?BuildingIQ says it regularly saves between 10and 25percent on heating and air conditioning,the two items that make up 50 or 60 percent of a building's total energy use.The software will help cut energy bills and improve comfort all while reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.It won't be long before you can leave your space heater at home.

27.In Paragraph 1,the author intends to.D
A.complain about the coldness in air-conditioned offices
B.describe the harmful effects of an unhealthy lifestyle
C.criticize some people's unawareness to save energy
D.indicate the low efficiency of the old way of air conditioning
28.According to the article,what does the"thermal model"do?C
A.Gathering information about a building's history.
B.Learning about machines that heat a building.
C.Predicting the amount of air conditioning needed.
D.Analyzing the physical fitness of people inside.
29.The underlined word"tailor"can be best replaced by.B
A.limit
B.a(chǎn)djust
C.expand
D.prevent
30.What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?B
A.BuildingIQ is going to be experimented at retirement homes.
B.BuildingIQ will also analyze human temperature preferences.
C.People have different preferences for temperature and comfort.
D.The limits of human comfort vary and change at different ages.

4.Imagine you're at a party full of strangers.You're nervous.Who are these people?How do you start a conversation?Fortunately,you've got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone's name tag(胸牌).The chips send back name,job,hobbies,and the time available for meeting-whatever.Making new friends becomes simple.
This hasn't quite happened in real life.But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.
An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product,under your pet's skin,even under your own skin.Passive RFID tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it.The energy comes from the reader,a scanning device(裝置),that sends out energy (for example,radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.
Such a tag carries information specific to that object,and the data can be updated.Already,RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport.Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient's medical records.At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.
Take a step back:10 or 12 years ago,you would have heard about the coming age of computing.One example always seemed to surface:Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk.The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.
RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon."The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices,connected wirelessly,"predicts Dr.J.Reich.Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology.It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags,they say.We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it.And how many beers.Accompanied by how many biscuits.
When Marconi invented radio,he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication.Not for pop music.Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future.Here's a wild guess:Not for buying milk.

32.The article is intended toD.
A.warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technology
B.explain the benefits brought about by RFID technology
C.convince people of the uses of RFID technology
D.predict the applications of RFID technology
33.We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags,peopleA.
A.will have no trouble getting data about others
B.will have more energy for conversation
C.will have more time to make friends
D.won't feel shy at parties any longer
34.Why are some people worried about RFID technology?C
A.Because children will be tracked by strangers.
B.Because market competition will become more fierce.
C.Because their private lives will be greatly a ffected.
D.Because customers will be forced to buy more products.
35.The last paragraph implies that RFID technologyB.
A.will not be used for such matters as buying milk
B.will be widely used,including for buying milk
C.will only be used for buying milk
D.will probably not be widely used.

5.People living in the country enjoy several advantages that people living in the city cannot enjoy.
They are in close contact (接觸) with nature.They make friends with trees and stones.They breathe fresh air.They fight with strong winds.They listen to the song of birds.This contact with nature is good for health.There are many diseases that are common in the city,but are not to be found in the country,F(xiàn)or example,near---sightedness is almost unknown to country people.Because of the absence of cars,one can walk more freely in the country than in the city.There are no rules of the road nor traffic signs to obey.People living in the country can easily get fresh vegetables,fresh fruit and fresh milk,and they get them at lower prices than in the city.Country life is economical (節(jié)儉的) in other ways,too.There are practically no temptations to waste money.
