20、im  Chimself  Dherself第四題。閱讀理解；（共30分）A Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she res

21、ponded with a polite“Why, thank you,” but you knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices ( good and bad) reflect about your personal qualities?Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathythe ability to put yourself into someone el

22、ses head and heart. Were all able to do this; in fact, were born with a kind of natural empathy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced(加強(qiáng))by our parents, teachers, friends. When it isnt, were not able to understand other peoples feelings as sharply. This can show

23、 in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional（情感的）qualities.Think back to the presents youve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent, you thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package. Keep in

24、 mind that what you choose displays your inner world. Of course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you knowWe live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication. Ignoring the tradition wont make it go away. If you

25、really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time.41.The underlined expression “you had missed the mark” means “you had failed to _” A. make her feel better           B. keep your friendship C. receive a present in return  &#

29、weeks time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive (存活) if the rain is spread throughout the year. If it falls within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as

30、wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘 ) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with he winds and changing he shape. Most of hem are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.There is, howev

31、er, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs ( 懸崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, hear and cold all wore away at the remain

32、ing rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing - very, very slowly - as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day, a v

33、isitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.45. Many plants may survive in deserts when _.  A. the rain is spread out in a year&

36、 There is no rainfall throughout the year  B. life exists in rough conditions  C. all sand dunes are a few feet high  D. rocks are worn away only by wind and heatCAmericans usually make allowance for（寬容）non-native speakers who have some trouble understanding English. But they become a

37、nnoyed when a person pretends to understand but doesnt really and then creates problems because of misunderstanding what is said. No one wants soap when he asks for soup. So if you dont understand what is said to you, admit it and politely ask the person to repeat or explain.Second, it is quite rude

38、 to talk with a friend in your native language and leave your American friends standing there feeling stupid because they cant understand the conversation. The Americans may also feel that you are talking about them or saying something you dont want them to hear. If you must switch to your native la

39、nguage to explain something to a non-English-speaking friend, at least translate for your American friends so they dont feel left out.Learn just a few more polite English expressions, and youll be ready to face the world of Americans with confidence. The polite response（反應(yīng)）to a compliment（贊揚(yáng)）about y

40、our looks or your work is “Thank you.” (A smile and a nod is not enough.) The response to “Thank you.” is, of course, “Youre welcome.” If someone asks, “How are you?” dont give your medical history. Just say, “Fine, thanks. How are you?” Finally, what should you say when someone sneezes（打噴嚏）? It may

41、 not seem logical, but the correct response is “God bless you.” Thats about all there is to it. Now that youve learned this general knowledge of manners in the U. S. A. , youre ready to be polite in English, Lets hope your American friends will be just as polite.49Which of the following does the writer not refer to?  ADont let any of your friends feel left out in the course of conversation.  BAsk for repetition once you fail to follow American natives.  CNever
