23、ures most significant for second-language teachers are those which are _(26)_in form but different in meaning in the two cultures. For example, a Colombian who wants someone to _(27)_ him often signals with a hand movement in which all the fingers of one hand, cupped, point downward as they move rap
24、idly _(28)_ .Speakers or English have a similar gesture through the hand may not be cupped and the fingers may be held more loosely, but for them the gesture means goodbye or go away, quite the _(29)_ of the Colombian gesture. Again, in Colombian, a speaker of English would have to know that when he
25、 _(30)_height he most choose between different gestures depending on whether he is _(31)_ a human being or an animal. If he keeps the palm of the hand _(32)_the floor, as he would in his own culture when making known the height of a child, for example, he will very likely be greeted by laughter, in
26、Colombia this gesture is_(33)_for the description of animals. In order to describe human beings he should keep the palm of his hand _(34)_to the floor. Substitutions of one gesture for the other often create not only humorous but also_(35)_ moment. In both of the examples above, speakers from two di
27、fferent cultures have the same gesture, physically, but its meaning differs sharply.Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

28、owing the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 36
29、to 45 are based on the following passage.Global warming is a trend toward warmer conditions around the world. Part of the warming is natural; we have experienced a 20,000-year-long warming as the last ice age ended and the ice_36_away,However , we have already reached temperatures that are in _37_wi
30、th other minimum-ice periods, so continued warming is likely not natural. We are _38_to a predicted worldwide in increase in temperatures_39_betweem 1 and 6 over the next 100 years. The warming will be more_40_in some areas, less in other, and some places may even cool off. Likewise, the _41_of this
31、 warming will be very different depending on where you are-coastal areas must worry about rising sea levels, while Siberia and northern Canada may become more habitable(宜居的)and _42_for humans than these areas are now.The fact remains, however, that it will likely get warmer, on _43_, everywhere. Sci
32、entists are in general agreement that the warmer conditions we have been experiencing are at least in part the result of a human-induced global warming trend. Some scientists_44_that the changeswe are seeing fall within the range of random(无规律的)variation-some years are cold, others warm, and we have
33、 just had an unremarkable string of warm years_45_-but that is becoming an increasingly rare interpretation in the face of continued and increasing warm conditions.A) appealingI) meltedB) averageJ) persistC) contributingK) rangingD) dramaticL) recentlyE) frequentlyM) resolvedF) impactN) sensibleG) l
34、ineO) shockH) maintainSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.
35、Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The End of the Book?A Amazon, by far the largest bookseller in the country, reported on May 19 that it is now selling more books in its electronic Kindle format than in the old paper-an
36、d-ink format. That is remarkable, considering that the Kindle has only been around for four years. E-books now account for 14 percent of all book sales in the country and are increasing far faster than overall book sales. E-book sales are up 146 percent over last year, while hardback sales increased
37、 6 percent and paperbacks decreased 8 percent.B Does this spell the doom of the physical book? Certainly not immediately, and perhaps not at all. What it does mean is that the book business will go through a transformation in the next decade or so more profound than any it has seen since Gutenberg i
38、ntroduced printing from moveable type in the 1450s.C Physical books will surely become much rarer in the marketplace. Mass market paperbacks, which have been declining for years anyway, will probably disappear, as will hardbacks for mysteries, thrillers, “romance fiction,” etc. Such books, which onl
39、y rarely end up in permanent collections, either private or public, will probably only be available as e-books within a few years. Hardback and trade paperbacks for “serious” nonfiction and fiction will surely last longer. Perhaps it will become the mark of an author to reckon with that he or she is
40、 still published in hard copy.D As for childrens books, who knows? Childrens books are like dog food in that the purchasers are not the consumers, so the market (and the marketing) is inherently strange.E For clues to the books future, lets look at some examples of technological change and see what
41、happened to the old technology.F One technology replaces another only because the new technology is better, cheaper, or both. The greater the difference, the sooner and more thoroughly the new technology replaces the old. Printing with moveable type on paper dramatically reduced the cost of producin
42、g a book compared with the old-fashioned ones handwritten on vellum, which comes from sheepskin. A Bibleto be sure, a long bookrequired vellum made from 300 sheepskins and countless man-hours of labor. Before printing arrived, a Bible cost more than a middle-class house. There were perhaps 50,000 bo
43、oks in all of Europe in 1450. By 1500 there were 10 million.G But while printing quickly caused the hand written book to die out, handwriting lingered on (继续存在) well into the 16th century. Very special books are still occasionally produced on vellum, but they are one-of-a-kind show pieces.HSometimes
44、 a new technology doesnt drive the old one out, but only parts of it while forcing the rest to evolve. The movies were widely predicted to drive live theater out of the marketplace, but they didnt, because theater turned out to have qualities movies could not reproduce. Equally, TV was supposed to r
45、eplace movies but, again, did not.I Movies did, however, fatally impact some parts of live theater. And while TV didnt kill movies, it did kill second-rate pictures, shorts, and cartoons.J Nor did TV kill radio. Comedy and drama shows (“Jack Benny,” “Amos and Andy,” “The Shadow”) all migrated to tel
46、evision. But because you cant drive a car and watch television at the same time, rush hour became radios prime, while music, talk, and news radio greatly enlarged their audiences. Radio is today a very different business than in the late 1940s and a much larger one.K Sometimes old technology lingers
47、 for centuries because of its symbolic power. Mounted cavalry (骑兵) replaced the chariot (二轮战车) on the battlefield around 1000 BC. But chariots maintained their place in parades and triumphs right up until the end of the Roman Empire 1,500 years later. The sword hasnt had a military function for a hu
48、ndred years, but is still part of an officers full-dress uniform, precisely because a sword always symbolized “an officer and a gentleman.”L Sometimes new technology is a little cranky (不稳定的) at first. Television repairman was a common occupation in the 1950s, for instance. And so the old technology remains as a backup. Steamships captured the North Atlantic passenger business from sail in the 1840s
