三．阅读理解（每小题2分，共26分）
A
Gestures are the silent language of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.
In the US, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal discussion. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other’s arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet each other with a hug(拥抱).
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about 2.5 feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, “Pardon me.” or “Excuse me”.
Americans like to look at the other in the eyes when they are talking. If you don’t do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. When you stare at someone, however, it is not polite.
For Americans, thumbs-up means “yes”, “very good” or “well done”. Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter, one might put up one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger(食指). Americans shake their index fingers at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.
Learning a culture’s body language is sometimes confusing(困惑的). If you don’t know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.
36. When you shake hands with an American, you should__________.
A. shake his/her hand firmly B. put your hands on his/her shoulder
C. shake his/her hand gently D. give him/her a hug afterwards

A. feel friendly B. get uncomfortable C. keep still D. hit you angrily
38. If you talk with an American friend, it’s polite to________.
A. stare at him/her B. look at the ground
C. look at his/her in the eyes D. look here and there
39. When an American gives you the thumbs-up, he, in fact_______
A. means that you are number one B. wants to please you
C. needs to call a waiter D. express his satisfaction with you
40. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. People greet each other by shaking hands in America.
B. Every country has their own gestures.
C. Learning a culture’s body language is very important and necessary.
D. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger.

The blues was born on the Mississippi River Delta in the early 1900s. After the Civil war, the slaves were free but life was still not easy. They had to find new work. In the south, work camps were formed. Black people from these camps worked on farms and built up the Mississippi River banks. During the week, the people worked long and hard. They often lived alone, without their families, far from home. On the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Traveling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues.
If you have the blues, it means you feel very sad. But blues songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.
Early blue singers often had very interesting names like Blind Lemon Jefferson and Howlin Wolf. Sometimes, the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way they created new music. This is called improvisation. Later, improvisation became a very important part of Jazz music.
The blues began in the country in the south. As blacks moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them. There, they sang about life in the cities. W.C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous song of all “The St. Louis blues.”

42. Blues songs were often about_______.
A. the hard life of black people B. the lonely life of black people
C. the happy and funny life of black people D. the hard life of slaves

A. they had found new work B. they had worked long and hard during weekdays

One possible version
Some students think that a nice face is a letter of recommendation. Good appearance often makes a big difference in social communication, competition, finding jobs and so on .Not only can it help you become more confident, but also it helps you be impressed. Physical beauty is likely to draw much attention.
Other students have different opinions. They hold the idea that good appearance will buy no beef . Spiritual beauty is more important. A beautiful person is not the one with a good looking , but the one with a broad and kind heart.
Actually ,as is known to all ,the standard of beauty changes with different societies, cultures and nations Even if you don’t have a nice face, you still can be attractive if you are a person with a kind heart and broad intelligence
