There are big cultural differences between the US and the UK, despite (尽管) having many similarities. People talk differently, and not just in the accent or the words, but the general meaning.

Americans are very friendly. They will talk to strangers in a store, laugh with someone at a bar, and help their neighbours as necessary. Many expats (移居海外者) have reported difficulty in making really close friends like they had in the UK. The friendliness is only on the surface.

Many Americans are very family-centered. Family life includes endless school musicals, after-class sports, birthday parties and the like. Many new expats report exhaustion trying to keep up with all the things to do with the kids when they come to the US.

Most Americans have never been abroad. The United States is a huge country. Go and look at a map of the US to get an idea. Many Americans feel they simply haven’t seen enough of their own country to consider travelling abroad to see another country. In addition, many people just don’t get enough holiday time to make it worthwhile (值得的) travelling abroad, with holiday or “vacation” time often being as low as 7-10 days a year, and sometimes that includes sick days.

Most Americans are proud of Scottish or Irish or German or Italian ancestry (祖先), even if it has been centuries since anyone in their family lived abroad. Many Americans like to remember this not because they like the old country but because they like to show that their family came from immigrants (移民) who dreamed of a better life in America. By pointing out that fact, many feel they are meeting their ancestors’ wishes and dreams.

Making friends can be daunting. While for some in their 20s, they can reach out to those who are also just starting out and form some lifelong friendships, for some who are older, in their 30s and 40s, with kids and a family, meeting others can be difficult.

19. What do expats think of Americans?

A. They are ready to help others.

B. They seem to be friendly to others.

C. They are fond of working with foreigners.

D. They easily make close friends with others.

20. Why do most Americans seldom travel abroad?

A. They have short holiday time.

B. They are short of money for trips.

C. They think it worthless to travel abroad.

D. They like their own country’s scenery better.

21. Why are most Americans proud of their British ancestry?

A. They love the old country.

B. They appreciate British culture.

C. They think their ancestors had made history.

D. They think they’re realizing their ancestors’ dreams.

22. What does the underlined word “daunting” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Discouraging. B. Interesting. C. Surprising. D. Exciting.

C

Is it important for teenagers to own the latest cell-phone models? There are different ways of looking at this question.

First, why do teenagers need to have the latest models? Often it’s just to show off. The problem is that there are many teenagers who own the latest cell-phone models but don’t even know how to use them properly. This is true. They just want one because their friends have similar ones, or because they take very good videos and photos.

On the other hand, if they do know how to use them, the latest cell phones are really good. They not only help teens to stay in touch with friends and family, but also help them to access the Internet and download pictures, videos or music they need when studying. These new phones are so powerful that having one is almost like having a whole library in your pocket. It’s an instant (即刻的) source of information that helps young people get the latest news. But many parents, thinking only of such positive sides, do not take into consideration the potential dangers. For example, children may constantly be distracted(分心) during class by sending and receiving text messages.

Each young generation loves the new technologies available — just think back to when you were a kid. But your job as a parent is to make sure your child gets the most out of this technology with the least possible harm.

23. According to the second paragraph, teenagers want to have the latest cell-phone models because ________.

A. they want to show they are fashionable

B. they think the latest models help them a lot with Study

C. they think they can keep in touch with others more easily

D. they want to learn how to use new technologies

24. We can infer from the last paragraph that the author thinks _______.

A. a new generation always loves new things

B. parents also liked technological products when they were young

C. parents should make sure children use the new technologies properly

D. parents shouldn’t allow children to own a cell Phone

25. What is the text mainly about?

A. Different ways to deal with teenagers’ using the latest cell phones.

B. That teenagers should not use the latest cell phones at school.

C. Different views on teenagers’ using the latest cell phones.

D. That the latest cell phone models are becoming very popular with teenagers.

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

What does it really mean to be successful?

26 . It is about being able to live a happy life.

If you want to have a successful life, here are three things you need to focus on.

1. Believe in yourself

If you don’t believe in yourself, how do you expect other people to? When you believe in yourself, it fuels your creativity and your motivation (动力) to do things. All successful people from Gandhi to Tesla believed in themselves.  27 . We all have to trust that we have the ability to turn the impossible into the possible.

2. Know your intention (目标)

 28 , it is important to have an understanding of your intention. If your intention is simply rooted in money and fame (名声), you are never going to truly feel successful. Money and fame only serve the ego (自负) and don’t provide true feelings of success. For a truly successful life, your intention has to be rooted in your purpose and passions (热情). When your intention is to serve your purpose, make a change in the world and express your talents, you will feel true success and satisfaction.

3.  29 

Success is all around you right now. Stop to take a moment and you’ll notice the amazing success that is already present in your life.  30 . Being thankful for the tiniest successes in life will help you to create more and more success.

第四部分 短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Whether you have interviews or 51 (meeting), your conversations are important. But what will you do if you can’t understand the person? It can’t be polite to repeatedly ask “what” when you don’t know what someone 52 (say) just now. You don’t want that person to think his pronunciation is unclear. There are many ways to ask 53 (polite) someone to repeat something.

Start by apologizing for not hearing what the person said. You can begin 54 “excuse me” or “pardon” or “sorry”. Then you could kindly say that you did not hear or understand 55 was said.
