Passage Two

Questions 26 t030 are based on the following passage.

A gesture which means one thing in one country may well mean something quite different to those living in another.The ring gesture,where you form. an “O” by holding me tip of your forefinger to the tip of your thumb,means in Britain that you think something is good.Take a trip to France,and you may fail to impress your French host when you use it to tell him your opinion of his new car, for in France it means zero or worthless.Travel further south and you are in even greater trouble,for in Tunisia it means “I’ll kill you!” Similar problems occur on the other side of the Atlantic.Although in the US the ring gesture has the same meaning as in Britain,it is used as an insult in Latin America.Unfortunately former US President Richard Nixon was unaware of this.Landing on a visit to one South American country he came out of the aircraft with both hands held high showing the ring gesture.Having just been told to go to hell by their visitor,his hosts gave the puzzled President a somewhat frosty reception.Had he used the same gesture in Japan,his hosts would have been puzzled,for it means money there.

Try to avoid these misunderstandings by using another gesture to indicate that you think something is good and you may still find yourself in trouble.In Britain and the US the thumbs—up sign is used when you think something is good, but elsewhere,as in Sardinia,it is an insult.In Britain the gesture is also used for hitch—hiking.But if you attempt using it to request a lift from a passing motorist in Greece or Italy,you had better stand well back from the edge of the road.It is quite likely that he will knock you down,for in Greece it is an insult.

Pulling down the lower lid of your eye with one finger is usually used to indicate alertness.In France and Greece it means much the same as“My eye!” in England,meaning “Don’t you think I can see it?”In Spain and Italy it is also related to being alert,but there it is used as a warning:“Keep your eyes open."In South America,it means you think that a woman is “eyeful,”very attractive.

26.The passage mainly discusses_____.

A.the benefits of using gestures

B.how gestures came into being

C.the problems in using gestures

D.how to avoid using gestures

If an Englishman uses the ring gesture,he will be correctly understood in_____.A.France

B.Tunisia

C.the US

D.Japan

Richard Nixon used the ring gesture in the South American country as a sign of_____.A.insult

B.criticism

C.hospitality

D.appreciation

You can ask for a lift by using the thumbs-up sign in_____.A.Britain

B.Sardinia

C.Greece

D.Italy

If you want to express your appreciation of a woman,you can_____.A.use the ring gesture in Italy

B.use the ring gesture in France

C.pull down your lower eye lid in Greece

D.pull down your lower eye lid in South America

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

Scientists have established that influenza viruses taken from man can cause the disease in animals. In addition,man can catch the disease from animals. In fact,a great number of wild birds seem to carry the virus without showing any evidence of illness. Some scientists conclude that a large family of influenza viruses may have evolved in the bird kingdom,a group that has been on the earth 100 million years and is able to carry the virus without contracting the disease. These are even convincing evidence to show that virus strains are transmitted from place to place and from continent to continent by migrating birds.

It is known that two influenza viruses can recombine when both are present in an animal at the same time. The result of such recombinations is a great variety of strains constraining different H and N spikes. This raises the possibility that a human influenza virus can recombine with an influenza virus form. a lower animal to produce an entirely new spike.

Research is underway to determine if that is the way that major new strains come into being. Another possibility is that two animal influenza strains may recombine in a pig,for example,to produce a new strain which is transmitted to man.

According to the passage,scientists have discovered that influenza viruses______.

A. cause ill health in wild birds

B. do not always cause symptoms in birds

C. are rarely present in wild birds

D. change when transferred from animals to man

Passage Two

Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.

听力原文

Passage Two While Gail Opp-Kemp, an American artist, was giving a speech on the art of

Japanese brush painting to an audience that included visitors from Japan, she was confused

to see that many of her Japanese listeners had their eyes closed. Were they turned off

because an American had the nerve to instruct Japanese in their own art form? Were they

deliberately trying to signal their rejection of her? Opp-Kemp later found out that her

listeners were not being disrespectful. Japanese listeners sometimes close their eyes to

enhance concentration. Her listeners were showing their respect for her by chewing on her

words. Someday you may be either a speaker or a listener in a situation involving people

from other countries or members of a minority group in North America. Learning how

different cultures signal respect can help you avoid misunderstandings. Here are some

examples: In the deaf culture of North America, many listeners show applause not by

clapping their hands but by waving them in the air. In some cultures, both overseas and in

some minority groups in North America, listeners are considered disrespectful if they look

directly at the speaker. Respect is shown by looking in the general direction but avoiding

direct eye contact. In some countries, whistling by listeners is a sign of approval, while

in other countries, it is a form. of insult.

Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.

20. What did Opp-Kemp’s speech focus on?

A.The art of Japanese brush painting.

B.Some features of Japanese culture.

C.Characteristics of Japanese artists.

D.The uniqueness of Japanese art.

Passage TwoQuestions 22~26 are based on the following passage, UN officials pledged Thurs

Passage TwoQuestions 22~26 are based on the following passage,

UN officials pledged Thursday to bridge the world's digital divide, bringing computers and Internet training to poorer countries before they fall further behind in technology and wealth. The Digital Service Corps initiative expands on a University of Pennsylvania pilot that sent three professors and 27 students to the West African country of Mali last spring. Four countries will be selected for visits in December.

In partnering with the private Global Technology Organization, the UN Office for Projects Services wants to reduce the gap separating nations with good technology from those without. "There are more Web sites originating here in New York than in all of Africa," said Reinhart Helmke, Executive Director of the UN agency, "There are more Web sites originating in Finland than in all of Latin America and the Caribbean. " Helmke said the digital divide would be better described as a digital chasm. He said the global economy cannot be sustained if some countries are left out.

Neysan Rassekh, founder and president of Global Technology Organization, vowed to tackle the problem "country by country, town by town, citizen by citizen. The initiative carries no funding, however. The UN projects .office, as a self-financing agency with a limited budget, will provide only management know-how. Rassekh's group, which organized the University of Pennsylvania group, plans to solicit (恳求) cash and equipment donations. For the Mali project,the university paid airfare and other expenses through fees that students pay to receive academic credit.

Eliminating the global divide won't be easy.- Persuading foreign governments to buy computers instead of food can be tough, even though technology can reduce poverty and hunger in the long run, said Hafidh Chaibi, who promotes global access through the World of Knowledge Foundation in Orlando, Fla. Ernest Wilson, an international development specialist at the University of Maryland, said his research found information technology growing by 18 percent a year in developing countries, compared with 23 percent in industrialized nations. That means the gap continues to grow despite improvements through programs from the United Nations, the World Bank, the Markle Foundation and Other organizations.

The UN announcement came as world leaders met at the UN Millennium Summit to discuss such challenges as peace, disarmament and access to new technology. Over four weeks in May and June, the University of Pennsylvania volunteers set up four computer centers in Mali and trained 120 residents, mostly students and educators who' could then teach others. Organizers are also setting up a Web site to help residents obtain information on education and health, The UN agency and its private partner plan to replicate that effort in 10 to 12 countries a year.

第22题:The \"digital divide\" as is used in the first passage refers to __________

A.the gap in technology and wealth between poor and rich countries

B.inadequate training which technicians in poorer countries have received

C.the availability of computer and Internet technologies to different nations

D.the difference in the number of Web sites created in poor and rich countries

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

Tides are created mainly by the pull of the moon on the earth. The moon's pull causes water in the oceans to be a little deeper at a point closest to the moon and also at a point farthest from the moon, on the opposite side of the earth. These two tidal “waves” follow the apparent movement of the moon around the earth and strike nearly every coast line at intervals of about twelve hours and twenty-five minutes. After reaching a high point, the water level goes down gradually for a little more than six hours and then begins to rise toward a new high point. Hence, most coast lines have two tides a day, and the tides occur fifty minutes later each day. Differences in the coast line and in channels in the ocean bottom may change the time that the tidal wave reaches different points along the same coast line. The difference in water level between high and low tide varies from day to day according to the relative positions of the sun and the moon. The sun also exerts a pull on the earth, although it is only about haft as strong as the pull of the tides arise higher and when they pull at right angles to one another. the tide is lower. The formation of the coast line and variations in the weather are additional factors which can affect the height of tides. Some sections of the coast are shaped in such a way as to cause much higher tides than are experienced in other areas. A strong wind blowing toward the shore may also cause tides to the higher.

Which of the following is right according to the passage?

A. Some coast lines do not have two tides each day.

B. Tides are not affected by the shape of coast line.

C. The sun has as much effect on tides as does the moon.

D. Tides usually rise to the same land day after day.
