答案
解析
2. 答案 C解析 作为一个公司，有人去世，如果让员工参加葬礼，只可能是邀请，而不可能是要求、允许或建议，故选invite。
3.答案 B解析 依据句意可知，体育馆的这个房间是被准备好举行葬礼用的，所以选prepared。start开始；open开放；create创造，均不符合句意。
4.答案 A解析 由第一段内容可知，此处指公司的员工们都已经知晓了这一消息。句意为：知道他们的一个同事去世后，一开始大家都很伤心。receive收到(指具体的物)；notice注意到；find发现。
5. 答案 D解析 上文提及刚开始大家都很伤心，后来又对谁死了感到好奇，二者是转折关系，所以用表示转折意义的连词but。
6.答案 C解析 有同事去世了，但谁也不知道是谁去世了，所以此处用curious，大家好奇(地想知道)这个人是谁，而不可能是生气、遗憾或者紧张。
7. 答案 A解析 依据语境可知，公司的员工们对于谁去世了很好奇，所以这里指人们来到体育馆的时候，这种兴奋“增强”了。用grow能够很形象地描绘出当时大家的情绪变动。而appear出现；improve改善，提高；develop发展，都与上下文不符。
8.答案 D解析 此处指同逝去的人道别并致以“最后的敬意”，故此处用respect尊敬，敬意。sight视力，看见；attention注意，关注；appreciation感激，均不符合语境。
9. 答案 A解析 at least至少；反正；in fact事实上；at once立刻，马上；in general总的来说。句意为：谁是阻碍我成长的人呢？嗯，反正这个人已经不在了。故这里应用at least。
10.答案 A解析 由上文提及的“The excitement...as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last...”可知，来体育馆给死者送行的都是公司的员工。
11.答案 D解析 由下文可知，棺材里放置的是一面镜子，这出乎他们的意料。所以这里用suddenly，表示“出乎意料”。而quickly迅速地；finally最后；obviously显然地，均不符合语境。
12.答案 C解析 刚开始人们都觉得棺材里是人，而去了看到里面放着一面镜子，当然极其吃惊。Worry担心的；depress郁闷的；embarrass尴尬的，均不符合语境。
13.答案 B解析 由下文知，人们发现棺材里面放的是镜子，由此可推知，阻碍他们前进的是他们自己，这犹如有人“触动了”他们的心灵深处，所以用touch。
14.答案 B解析 由语境及文章第一段The sign said...再结合空前的also一词可以得知答案为sign。
15.答案 D解析 read表示“(告示牌、标志物上)写着……”之意。其实依据文章第一段知，该处也可以用said,但不可以用wrote。
16.答案 A解析 set limits to...给……设限，为固定搭配。句意为：只有一个人能给你的成长设限，那就是你。
17.答案 C解析 由下文的“Your life does not change when your boss changes”及“when you realize that you are the only one...for your life.”可知，这里说的是：你是唯一能够改变你的生活的人。所以用life。
18.答案 C解析 句意为：你是唯一能够影响你的幸福、认知和成功的人。这里强调你对这一切的影响力。
19.答案 D解析 文章告诉我们，我们之所以在成长进步中受到阻碍，是因为我们自己给自己设限了，所以我们要想改变这一切，就必须越过……，go beyond在此表示“越过……”。
20.答案 B解析 当认识到你是唯一能够对自己生活负责的人……be responsible for对……负责。

Handshaking, though a European practise is often seen in big cities of China. Nobody knows exactly when the practice started in Europe. It is said that long long ago in Europe when people met, they showed their unarmed (无武器的) hands to each other as a sign of goodwill. As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly, people in cities began to clap each other’s hands to make a deal or to reach an agreement. This practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other. “Let’s shake (hands) on it” sometimes means agreement reached.
Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet? No. Sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite. It is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party, especially when it is a woman, shows little interest in shaking hands with you and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or-her. Even if, for politeness, he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand, just touch it slightly- There is generally a misunderstanding (误解) among the Chinese that westerners are usually open and straight forward, while the Chinese are rather reserved (保守的) in manner. But in fact some people in western countries more reserved than some Chinese today. So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only when he shows interest in further relations with you.
64. In the old days in Europe, people put out their unarmed hands to each other ______.
A. to make a deal B. to greet each other
C. to show friendliness D. to reach an agreement
65. The first paragraph mainly tells us ______.

D. We shouldn’t shake hands with European women.
67. The main purpose of the text is ______.
A. to tell us some differences between the East and the West
B. to offer us some important facts about handshaking
C. to introduce us to some different customs in the West
D. to give us some advice before we travel abroad
Shanghai: Car rentals（出租） are becoming more and more popular as an inexpensive way of taking to the roads. Business people, foreigners and families alike are making good use of the growing industry.
The first car rental firm opened in Shanghai in 1992 and now 12 car rental players are in the game, with more than 11,500 cars in their books.
The largest player - Shanghai Bashi Tourism Car Rental Center offers a wide variety of choices - deluxe sedans, minivans, station wagons, coaches. Santana sedans are the big favorite.
Firms can attract enough customers for 70 percent of their cars every month. This figure shoots up during holiday seasons like National Day, Labor Day and New Year"s Day, with some recording 100 percent rental.
The major market force rests in the growing population of white-collar employees （白领雇员）, who can afford the new service, said Zhuang Yu, marketing manager of Shanghai Angel Car Rental Co.

More American people take their troubles with them on holiday, according to a new survey. Although 40 percent said that the main reason for going away is to escape pressure (压力) from work, almost all said they worry more than they do at home. Only four in every 100 said that they are happy and free of care.
The most common worry is burglary ( 入室盗窃), with four out of 10 worrying about their homes being broken into while they’re abroad. More than a quarter fear they will feel crazy with some other noisy and rough holiday-makers and 22 percent worry they may be attacked or their possessions will be missing. One in five think the car may break down; and the same number worry about the chances of bad weather.
The survey also showed that the stay-at-home Americans are no more. Three out of every five want to have a holiday abroad, a great increase from the figures only three years ago. The hotel holiday is still a winner, with about one third of all Americana preferring to go on a self-catering ( 自助 ) holiday.

The famous American gorilla（大猩猩） expert Diane Fossey had a completely new way to study gorillas — she pretended to be one of them. She copied their actions and way of life — eating plants and getting down on her hands and knees to walk the way a gorilla does. It was a new relationship.
Diane Fossey was murdered in Rwanda in 1985 and her story was made into the popular film Gorillas in the Mist. It was a long way from King Kong, which is about a gorilla as a monster （a frightening animal）, and helped to show a new idea: the real monster is man, while the gorilla is to be admired.
Today there are thought to be around 48,000 lowland gorillas and maybe 400—450 mountain gorillas in the wild. From the Congo in West Africa, to Rwanda and Uganda further east, they are endangered by hunting and by the cutting down of their forest homes.
Some time ago, I found in my letterbox a little magazine from the World Wide Fund for Nature. It had two photos side by side. One was of a young gorilla. “This is a species of mammal（哺乳类动物）,” said the words below it. “It is being destroyed by man. We must save it for our own good.” The other photo showed a human baby. The words also read, “This is a species of mammal,” but then went on: “It is the most destructive（破坏性的） on earth. We must retrain it for its own good.”
56．The text mainly talks about _____.
A. Diane Fossey B. the gorillas in Rwanda
C. the protection of the gorillas D. the film Gorillas in the Mist
57．We can learn from the text that _____.
A. Gorillas in the mist was based Fossey’s experiences
B. Lowland gorillas live longer than mountain gorillas
C. King Kong showed us that a gorilla is admirable
D. Diane Fossey was murdered by a gorilla
58． What message can we get from the two photos in the magazine?
A. Gorillas are man’s close friends.
B. Both man and the gorilla need to be saved.
C. Young gorillas are as lovely as human babies.
D. Man should live peacefully with the gorilla.
