The Magic of Waving
It began a year ago, around Christmas.
While driving around the corner of our townhouse sports center, I always noticed an old man sitting by his front
yard. He was usually smoking or drinking and looked grumpy (脾气不好).
One day, while I was driving past him with my daughter, I decided to ____13____ at him with a lot of
excitement. At the beginning, when he noticed me waving at him, he looked a bit shocked (惊愕的). Then, I saw
his ____14____ go up and he waved back.
.
“Why did you wave at him?” my daughter asked
I told her that it was just an act of kindness that didn’t ____15____ anything, and it gave both him and me a
sense of joy. She responded by saying that she was a bit embarrassed (局促不安) to wave to a ____16____, but
next time she would try it as well.
Lucky for us, we lived close to the old man, so we saw him rather often. Whenever we drove by, both of us
would wave at him and, pretty soon, the old man ____17____ waving at everyone who passed by his house.
One day, my daughter’s friend came to visit and she told my daughter that she saw this strange old man near our
home who waved at her very ____18____. She mentioned that she waved back at him, even though she didn’t know
him, and that it felt really good.
Upon hearing this, my daughter told her friend the story of how all the waving began.
Her friend responded, “Tell your mom that’s really ____19____!”
Other friends made similar comments (评论), and this response taught my daughter just how much an act of
kindness can be very natural and effortless, if you really want to do it. It showed us how giving happiness benefited
both both the giver and the receiver.
Inspired by all these positive effects, we’re planning to give our elder waving neighbor a thank-you card, to
express our thanks for the warmth that he communicated through his enthusiastic waves. And to thank him for
____20____ this simple joy with all who pass by his house.
13. A. look B. laugh C. shout D. wave
14. A. leg B. hand C. foot D. head
15. A. cost B. bring C. break D. hide
16. A. smoker B. stranger C. manager D. driver
17. A. started B. succeeded C. guided D. lasted

(C)
Nowadays, the food that you buy comes from many different countries. Have a look in your fridge, cupboard,
and fruit bowl and check the origins (来源) of the food. Perhaps there are apples from California, lamb from New
Zealand, or potatoes from Egypt? You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This
journey, from “field to plate”, is called “food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer’s
field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer (消
费者). Why is this, and what is the influence of these long distances?
Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didn’t have to travel very far. The consumers
also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers
and consumers. However, there were some disadvantages. For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers
第4页/共8页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司produced locally. Besides, they could only get food that was in season. Now, because of modern technology, food
comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They
are available in winter if we want.
Some countries have to import (进口) most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The
United Arab Emirates (UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. Even food made in the UAE
often uses imported materials.
What’s wrong with “food miles”? Is this not a good way of increasing international trade? I believe these
miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more
planes, lorries, and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and
more global (全球的) warming. In addition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty.
Tomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long journey. For this reason, they are usually tasteless
when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollution. We
need to buy more local food.
27. What is called “food miles” according to this passage?
A. The origins of the food.
B. The effects of long distances.
C. The journey from field to plate.
D. The disadvantages of imported food.
28. The underlined word “available” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”.
.
A easy to get B. not busy C. willing to talk D. impossible to get
29. Some countries like the United Arab Emirates, have to import most of their food because of ________.
A. long distances B. difficult climates
C. fresh and tasty food D. modern technology
30. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. how local food travels from field to plate
B. what “food miles” is and its effects
C. how some countries import their food
D. where different kinds of food come from
(D)
Do you know that humans aren’t the only species (物种) that use language? Bees communicate by dancing.
Whales talk to each other by singing. And some apes (类人猿) talk to humans by using American Sign Language.
A female gorilla (大猩猩), Koko, was born at the San Francisco Zoo on July 4th, 1971. Koko learned sign
第5页/共8页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司language from her trainer, Dr. Penny Patterson. Patterson began teaching sign language to Koko in 1972, when
Koko was one year old. Koko must have been a good student, because two years later she moved onto the Stanford
University campus with Dr. Patterson. Koko continued to learn on the campus until 1976. That’s when she began
living full-time with Patterson’s group, the Gorilla Foundation. Patterson and Koko’s relationship has blossomed
ever since.
Dr. Patterson says that Koko has mastered sign language and known over 1,000 words, and that Koko makes up
new words. For example, Koko didn’t know the sign for ring, so she signed the words finger and bracelet. Dr.
Patterson thinks that this shows meaningful and constructive use of language.
Not everyone agrees with Dr. Patterson. Some argue that apes like Koko do not understand the meaning of
what they are doing. Some people who don’t believe that say that these apes are just performing complex tricks
（戏法）. For example, if Koko points to an apple and signs red or apple, Dr. Patterson will give her an apple.
They argue that Koko does not really know what the sign apple means. She only knows that that if she makes the
right motion, which Dr. Patterson has shown her, then she gets an apple. The debate is unresolved, but one thing is
for certain: Koko is an extraordinary ape.
It seems like Patterson and Koko have a good relationship, but not everyone agrees with it. Some people
believe that Patterson is humanizing the ape. They think that apes should be left in the most natural state possible.
Even Dr. Patterson struggles with these feelings. When she was asked if her findings could be duplicated by
another group of scientists, she said, “We don’t think that it would be ethical (道德的) to do again.” She went on to
argue that animals should not be kept in such unnatural circumstances.
As for the future, Dr. Patterson and the Gorilla Foundation would love to get Koko to an ape preserve (保护
区) in Maui, but they are having trouble getting the land. So unless you have a few million dollars to spare, Koko’s
going to be spending her time in Woodland, California with Dr. Patterson. Koko probably doesn’t mind that. If she
moved to Hawaii, she’d have to give up her Facebook page and Twitter feed, and she’s got like 50 thousand “likes”.
Some may deny (否认) that she knows sign language, but nobody says that she doesn’t know social networking.
31. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the second paragraph?
.
A To describe the environment in which Koko lives.
B. To tell readers how Dr. Patterson developed Koko’s living skills.
C. To advise Patterson to free Koko after she learnt on the campus.
D. To make an introduction about Koko and Dr. Patterson’s background.
32. What do we know from the passage?
A. Koko has mastered sign language without a doubt.
B. Everybody likes how Dr. Patterson has raised Koko.
第6页/共8页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. Some people think that Koko only signs to get food.
D. The Gorilla Foundation has got a land for Koko to stay naturally.
33. Which may be the main idea of this passage?
A. Bees, whales, and apes like Koko all use language to communicate.
B. Koko uses language but some think it’s just a trick.
C. It is natural for gorillas to learn sign language like humans.
D. If you want a lot of “likes” on Facebook, get a talking gorilla.
四、阅读表达（每小题2分，共10分）
阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。
Huihua, a Chinese girl, and Mary, an American student who was studying Chinese in China, were on their way
to a bookstore. As they got to the bookstore, they saw a young man walking down the stairs. In his hurry, he missed
the last two steps, and fell to the ground. He tried hard to get back to his feet while people around him laughed.
Luckily, he seemed to be OK.
Mary was worried. She found Huihua smiling a little and was not comfortable about it. “Tell me, Huihua, how
could people laugh when someone fell like that? Do they care at all? Shouldn’t they go up and ask the young man
whether he was hurt?”
“They knew he wasn’t hurt too much.” Huihua said.
“But I still don’t understand. A fall is a fall. In my culture, people would do anything but laugh!”
Chinese Perspective (观点)
This is an example in which the Chinese and the westerners explain a smile differently. Very often, the Chinese
people would also laugh or make a joke to ease the embarrassment (缓解尴尬) when they are caught in the
embarrassing situation. However, if someone gets hurt seriously, it will not be a laughing matter any more. People
will help him instead.
North American Perspective
A westerner would explain laughter in such a situation as a sign of either insensitivity (不关心) or, worse,
pleasure that the person falling had hurt himself because that person was disliked. A westerner’s reaction would have
been to rush over, help the person up, and to ask him, “Are you OK?” If a westerner fell, he, like a Chinese person,
might probably make a joke out of the incident (事件) if he was not hurt. If two close friends are walking together,
and one trips but clearly isn’t hurt, a common joke is to say “Have a nice trip”. However, this joke would be made
only between two people who knew each other well.
