Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys? The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils.

People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.

Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites（食欲）. Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.

Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help. The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.

29. Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their .

A. cultural values B. commercial purposes

C. personal experiences D. physical reactions to the color 30. Why will many commercial websites have a red “Buy Now” button? A. To relax people physically.

B. To increase people’s appetites. C. To encourage people to make a purchase. D. To cause a person’s blood pressure to rise.

31. Which of the following would be the most proper title for the text? A. Colors and Human Beings

B. The Cultural Meaning of Color C. Colors and Personal Experiences D. The Meaning and Function of Color

C

About 30 years ago, I left Cuba for the United States with my son. After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later, my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.

In the teacher’s office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”

Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? NO, no, it can’t be. What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.

My son could not follow the teacher’s directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class. Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?

He was angry; “Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home?”

No, I didn’t speak English at home, I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didn't want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars

and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?”

Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people.” Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.

As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures. He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)。

Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others; it teaches people about other cultures and other places—something very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” I met in New Jersey. 32. The teacher asked the author to his office__________.

A. to discuss Scola’s in-class performance B. to get Scola enrolled in kindergarten

C. to find a language partner for Scola D. to work out a study plan for Scola 33. What does the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Breaking B. Following C. Attending D. Disturbing

34. The author’s attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as__________. A. critical B. casual C. positive D. passive 35. This text is likely to be selected from a book of _________. A. medicine B. education C. geography D. history 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)

根据短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Forgiveness

To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.

________36_______ Try the following steps:

Calm yourself. ________37_______ You can take a couple of breaths and think of

something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. ________38_______ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.

Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about you hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your mounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.

________39_______ If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.

Don’t forget to forgive yourself. ________40_______ But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.

A. Why should you forgive?

B. How should you start to forgive? C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. D. Try to see things from you offender’s angle.

E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge. F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique. G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.

Have you ever seen people digging a well before? They don’t just stop 70 they see a little drop of water. They put in a little more effort to ensure that they get plenty of water.

A popular 71 （say）goes that it is only an average mind that would do the same thing all the time but expect another result. All you need to do is put a little more effort so that you can expect a 72 (whole) different result.

You have two options in life either to focus on what’s lost 73 to fight for what’s left. Fighting for what’s left is all about 74 (forget) the past, putting on your arm or of courage and 75 (brave) and putting in that extra effort. Be better than the best you can be.
