Social customs differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn‘t it matter? What about table manners? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should you leave one in your lap, or on the table?
The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o‘clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable – especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.
1. If one has accepted a dinner invitation, what should he do if he is to be late for the dinner?
A. He should telephone to explain his being late. B. He should ask for excuse. C. He should say ―Sorry‖. D. He should find an excuse.
2. ―It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable‖ ―Bad manners‖ means _________.
A. impolite B. dishonest C. ugly D. shameful 3. According to the text, the best host _____________. A. tried to avoid being naughty to his guests B. makes his guests feel excited
C. tried his best to make his guests feel comfortable D. tried to avoid being foolish
4. The author of this article may agree with which of the following? A. The guest who ate his peas with a knife.

There is no believable evidence for the existence of Bigfoot or to put it another way, there‘s really quite a lot of evidence, but unfortunately it‘s very poor quality. That‘s a problem for Bigfoot-believers because if the creature really does exist, then it must exist in fairly big numbers. Otherwise, it would long ago have gone extinct（灭绝）.
―Not a single dead body has been found,‖ said Joe Nickell. ―While we can‘t prove Bigfoot doesn‘t exist. It‘s fair to point out that we can‘t prove that the fairy doesn‘t exist. We can‘t prove that there are no leprechauns（妖精）.”
The Bigfoot myth is fueled by human hopes and fears. In that manner it is similar to other myths. “We are hopeful that we are not alone in the universe, so we believe in extraterrestrials （外人）,” Joe Nickell said. “We are fearful of the unknown, so we imagine monsters （妖怪）.”
Craig Woolheater, of the Texas Bigfoot Research Centre, agreed that there are ―a whole lot of questions and not many answers‖.
―What we‘re trying to do is get some answers and gather hard evidence. I think we‘re dealing with an animal that is fairly rare,‖ Woolheater added. ―So you‘re talking about something that is probably a hundred times more rare than a black bear, and certainly a lot more rare than a mountain lion, and those animals aren‘t seen all that often.‖
Meanwhile, the Institute of Texan Cultures is taking a democratic （民主的）approach. The final portion of the exhibition gives visitors a chance to vote on whether or not they believe the evidence is believable. On the first day, ―yes‖ outweighed ―no‖ 178 to 53. 64. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To tell readers where Bigfoot lives. B. To discuss whether Bigfoot exists.
C. To give readers a definite answer. D. To improve readers‘ interest about Bigfoot. 65. According to Joe Nickell, ________.
A. Bigfoot is the result of people‘s hopes and fears
B. Bigfoot‘s dead bodies are familiar with people C. leprechauns don‘t exist D. people are polite to Bigfoot
66. According to the passage, Woolheater ________.
A. thinks there are no questions about Bigfoot B. gets his answers from exhibitions
C. seems to think Bigfoot exists D. believes the voting is a democratic way 67. From the last paragraph we learn that ________.
A. most people think Bigfoot exists according to the vote B. most people trust the Institute of Texan Cultures C. the Institute of Texan Cultures thinks Bigfoot exists
D. the Institute of Texan Cultures is a democratic organization
D
Naps—short sleeps during the day—may improve memory, experts said recently.
New research conducted by brain researcher Avi Karni of the University of Haifa in Israel explores the possibility that naps help lock in sometimes long-term memories. ―We still don't know exactly how memory system works during sleep, but the results of this research suggest it is possible to speed up memory consolidation (巩固) ,‖ Karni said. Long-term memory refers to memories that stay with us for years, such as ―what‖ memories --- a car accident that happened yesterday--- or ―how to‖ memories, such as one's learned ability to play the pianos.

Karni, also one of the authors of the study published in a recent issue of the journal Nature Neuroscience, instructed participants to learn a difficult set of finger games, and then divided the study subjects into two groups: one that napped for an hour, and one that didn't. The people who took an afternoon snooze showed obvious improvement in their performance by that evening.
―After a night‘s sleep the two groups were at the same level, but the group that slept in the afternoon improved much faster than the group that stayed awake,‖ Karni said. And the study also showed just how much faster a 90-minute nap could help lock in long-term memories. ―Daytime sleep can shorten the time ?how to‘ memory weakens and forgetting starts,‖ Karni said, ―Instead of 6 to 8 hours, the brain consolidated the memory during the 90-minute nap.‖ 68. We can learn from the article that ________.
A. the new research has discovered the memory process during the sleep
B. Karni‘s findings are based on comparisons between two groups of participants C. taking a nap helps improve both long-term and short-term memories
D. people who take a nap will never forget ―how to‖ skills once they are learned 69. The underlined word ―subjects‖ in paragraph 3 probably mean________.
A. the people carrying out the study B. the people being tested in the study
C. the topics being discussed in the study D. the areas of knowledge being studied 70. The text is most probably taken from ________.
A. a newspaper report B. a library guide C. a project handbook D. a science site 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

―So, what are you doing after graduation?‖ 71 However, you have to make up your mind as your last high school year begins. Whether your plans include college, heading straight for the workforce, or taking a year off, here are some practical tips to prepare yourself for the journey. Going to College
Some people know from an early age exactly what they want to be and how they plan to get there. 72 According to a recent survey, 75% of students change their majors after they enter college. After all, school is also not just about careers and getting a high-paying job after graduation — it‘s a place for learning about yourself and the world. Selecting a School
If college is in your future, you need to plan. Start by asking yourself questions about your preferences. 73 Once you‘ve narrowed down your choices, ask the schools to send you literature or visit their websites. Getting a Job
Maybe you‘ve decided that college isn‘t for you—right now, anyway. If you want to join the workforce, opportunities are out there for people who don‘t have degrees. Some products-selling or service industry organizations offer training programs to high school graduates. Search the classified ads in the newspaper and do some Internet research. 74 Taking Time Off
What if you intend to go to college but just don‘t feel ready to start yet, for whatever reason? __75 This practice is common in some countries, like the United Kingdom, where it‘s called a ―gap year‖. Even if you decide not to apply to college, it can be a great idea to take a year to do something you may not have an opportunity to do again. Lots of volunteer organizations would welcome your time and energy and would provide you with a wonderful learning experience.
A. You might want to get a high-paid job first.
