第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑
A
Skip the West End and discover some exciting, theatrical treasures — maybe in a pub or under a railway station — in one of London’s many alternative theatres. If you want to experience the glorious rush of discovering a five-star show in a 50-capacity auditorium, for a 10 ticket, off-West End is the way to go.
Theatre 503
Through the always-buzzing Latchmere Pub, up a very narrow staircase, and beyond a dinky foyer (门厅), you will find yourself at Theatre 503. It can hold 63 people at a time, which is a tight squeeze even then. But it’s well worth the intimacy (亲密感) that you’ll necessarily share with your neighbour for the outstanding productions.
King’s Head Theatre
Perhaps the perfect example of London pub theatre, the King’s Head has been in business since the early 1970s. The King’s Head is consistent only in its stubborn refusal to be pigeonholed (归类) or, indeed to be made into anything else. It feels like London theatre’s uncle who still wears ripped jeans and listens to cool music, refusing to give up its idealistic integrity for something perhaps more sensible but far less fun.
Soho Theatre
An institution that hardly needs introducing, Soho Theatre has been at the forefront for new writing and comedy for decades, producing some of the most exciting new talent on the scene today. As the name suggests, the theatre sits in the centre of Soho, and its bar has become a hub for artists and audiences alike.
Vaults Theatre
A truly unique place made up of eleven disused train tunnels below Waterloo station, with an atmosphere all of its own. Not only is Vaults Theatre home to some of the most thrilling immersive and alternative theatre, it’s also leading the way in accessibility, offering a pay-what-you-can ticket price on Wednesday s and Sundays as of Autumn 2022.
21．How long has been King’s Head Theatre in business
A．About 50 years. B．Less than 40 years.
C．More than 60 years. D．More than 70 years.
22．Which is named after its location
A．Vaults Theatre. B．King’s Head Theatre.
C．Soho Theatre. D．Theatre 503.
23．Which of the following made use of old railways
A．Theatre 503. B．King’s Head Theatre.
C．Soho Theatre. D．Vaults Theatre.
B
In memory of Eleanor
— a woman ________
[1] Eleanor Lowenthal — my grandmother — in desperate need of income to put her husband through graduate school, walked into the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology. There, she convinced the scientists that she was the perfect person to mount (安放) and catalog their growing ant collection.
[2] At the time, a promising graduate student named E.O. Wilson was coming up in the department. Wilson, who passed away in December 2021, was called the “father of biodiversity”. When Eleanor joined the department, researchers were racing to collect and catalog specimens (标本). As Wilson shifted research towards smaller, less glamorous species that nonetheless held ecological significance, he set the stage for conservation biology. Behind the scenes, technicians like my grandmother preserved the specimen that furthered Wilson’s work and continue to provide new insights and opportunities for researchers across the globe.
[3] At the time, hiring a 21-year-old woman who had dropped out of art school was a significant gamble. It paid off. Eleanor’s job as a technician required the same manual flexibility and coordination that art school had demanded. The job required her to work quickly, yet precisely. Rushing could risk ruining a rare specimen, but Eleanor could process ants as quickly as Wilson could mail them back from his expeditions to Australia and Papua New Guinea. She sometimes mounted as many as 200 a day.
[4]It wasn’t a coincidence that Eleanor found work in entomology. Wilson’s high-profile research on ants cracked an opening for women in previously male-dominated field of conservation, which was centered around studying big game in the first half of the 20th century.
[5] Even when women’s early work has been credited, the language used to describe their contributions often minimized their role in the team, not mentioning them by name. A recently discovered department report includes lines such as, “A large amount of spreading and setting insects was done by the lady assistant,” and “The collection has been remarkably free from pests… due to the continuous care of the lady assistant.”
[6] The department now functions like a library (specimen can be borrowed for study or examined on site), and serves as a training center for the next generation of scientists who use the collection in ways Wilson and my grandmother probably never imagined.
[7] Eleanor didn’t realize the impact of her contribution at the time — the technician role was just a job that paid $38 a week. But she’s come to appreciate the significance of her work on a project that spans centuries. “You can see how it goes from one era to another,” says Eleanor. “It’s so important to have this library for people to make connections and new discoveries.”
24．The first two paragraphs write about _________.
A．why Eleanor was chosen to be an assistant for Wilson
B．what convinced Wilson switch to the study of ants
C．how Eleanor’s and Wilson’s career paths crossed
D．when technicians like Eleanor started to get hired
25．Why were the lines in the report cited in the fifth paragraph
A．To prove how important women’s early work was.
B．To show women’s role at the time was not fully recognized.
C．To give a vivid description of the nature of women’s work.
D．To teach the wisdom of writing good science reports.
26．What can be learned from the last two paragraphs
A．Today’s researchers are still enjoying the benefits of Eleanor’s work.
B．Eleanor is now working as a supervisor in the department.
C．New scientific discoveries are the results of collective wisdom.
D．Nobody’s work is as important as Eleanor’s in the department.
27．Which of the following should be filled in the title “In memory of Eleanor — a woman ________”
A．whose struggle mirrored the social changes in the status of women
B．whose work won her fame in the then male-dominated field of conservation
C．who pioneered a unique ant management system at the Harvard Museum
D．who worked behind the scenes with extraordinary speed, accuracy and artistry
C
Lights, camera, action! Have you ever dreamed of being a director At age 29, Di Di already has almost 10 years of directing experience. Through the media company he founded, he makes advertising and promotional videos, including for Tsinghua University, his alma mater (母校).
For Di, becoming a director is an adventure based on interest. Majoring in journalism, he got into directing by chance. “In 2016,I came up with an idea for Tsinghua’s admissions(招生)video but couldn’t find a director,” Di said. “so I decided to be the director myself! I ended up really enjoying the process of being creative and working with a team. That was when I knew I wanted to be a director.”
While many people think that directors are experts at art, Di found that directors are, in fact, experts at management. “Only one-third of my time is spent on set. The rest of the time, I’m doing lots of planning with my clients and co-workers.” he said. This planning process includes working out the video’s theme with the client, creating a play, bringing together the visuals and text content, and also managing logistics (后勤) like where to park the cars and how to bring electricity to the set.
“Filming is an industry of high costs. Even short advertisements cost a lot of money per day. Any incident could result in the failure of the project, such as bad weather or the main character not turning up. You have to be quick to respond to any problems,” Di said. Despite the pressure, Di gets great joy from making an impact through his works. In 2019, he made a film for Tsinghua, which tells the story of a group of first-generation college students-the first to go to university in their families. It was viewed more than 15 million times on social media and became a hot top 20 trending topic on Sina Weibo. Being a first-generation college student himself, Di felt very passionate about the video’s goal of inspiring students to use their education to make a better life for their families. One month before the national college entrance exam in2020, Di released a feature film encouraging high school students to keep working hard after the exam was pushed back by one month.
28．Which of the following is true
A．Di was a student whose major was directing. B．Di became a director by accident.
C．Little money is needed to make a film. D．Most of Di’s time is spent on directing.
29．What is paragraph two mainly about
A．Di’s experience of directing. B．What it takes to be a director.
C．How Di started to be a director. D．Di’s views on being a director.
30．Which is not included in Di’s work
A．Planning the set. B．Talking about the topic.
C．Putting visuals and texts together. D．Preparing meals.
31．What can be learned from the last paragraph
A．Weather decides how well the process goes.
B．Di’s video helps students go to university.
C．Di’s video makes a difference to some students.
D．Directing is a career with little pressure.

A Nigerian mom found out the hard way that jaundice (黄疸) is still a dangerous disease in Africa — but now she’s putting an end to the disease with her new tech startup, making cribs (婴儿床).
Virtue Oboro’s son, Tombra, was just 48 hours old when he had to be rushed to the NICU, suffering from jaundice, which causes yellow skin and can lead to permanent damage or even death. The treatment is fairly simple and widespread in developing countries: blue-light phototherapy (光疗).
Virtue’s hospital had no phototherapy devices, so Tombra had to receive a risky emergency blood transfusion (输血). Her son made a full recovery, but Virtue was changed by the experience. “I felt like some of the things I experienced could have been avoided,” the visual designer said. “I thought, is there something I could do to make the pain less for the babies and the mothers ”
What could a visual designer do She designed the Crib A’Glow and named her new company Tiny Hearts. The mobile phototherapy unit is powered by the African sun, and costs one-sixth the price of a normal phototherapy crib — and is produced in her homeland of Nigeria. Virtue’s husband had some experience working with solar panels before, so he lent a hand to the visual designer, who was busy sailing in the unknown waters of a new profession. She worked with a baby doctor through the design process to ensure all the details would benefit the tiny babies.
The Crib A’Glow can now be found in 500 hospitals across Nigeria and neighboring Ghana. It has been used on 300, 000 babies already. Virtue, who has also become a 2022 awardee for the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation, says a further 200, 000 babies will be saved from jaundice by using the cribs in rural areas — no hospitals or electricity needed.
32．What happened to Tombra shortly after he was born
A．He suffered damage from a blood transfusion. B．He came down with jaundice.
C．He received blue-light phototherapy. D．He got separated from his mother.
33．What can be learned about the Crib A’Glow
A．It is solar-powered. B．It is heavy.
C．It has been used worldwide. D．It is expensive.
34．Why are the numbers listed in the last paragraph
A．To highlight the importance of phototherapy devices.
B．To stress the shortage of cribs in rural hospitals.
C．To arouse people’s awareness of jaundice.
D．To predict the bright future of Virtue’s crib.
35．Which of the following can best describe Virtue
A．Tough and generous. B．Hardworking and productive.
C．Caring and creative. D．Sociable and determined.

Cultural Differences of Teenagers
Knowing the cultural differences between yourself and others of your age can help you understand friends who are of a different race or culture. 36 You’ll also know if you arc misunderstanding your friend’s behaviour when it seems like he/she is being rude. The major differences between Asian and American teenagers lie in the following aspects:
Family
Family comes first in the Asian culture. 37 While Asian families have a greater dependence on each other, American families encourage their children and teenagers to be independent.
Friendship
Some Asian teens generally prefer having a small group of life-long friends. They are committed and loyal to their friends. Americans often prefer a larger group of friends. There might be less commitment to keeping friends for life because of their bigger pool of possible friendships.
Working Relationships
If you are working on a group project with teens from China or other Asian countries, they might focus on developing a good relationship with you. 38 Developing relationships with their group members might come second.
39
In China and many other Asian countries, making direct eye contact is considered rude and disrespectful. However, in America and some European countries, it is not only seen as appropriate but also necessary because it means the person is paying attention. In Asian culture people are usually more comfortable with less personal space than Americans arc. A touch on the shoulder or an arm is common for Asians even if you don’t know one another.
It’s important to keep in mind that when learning about cultural differences, you should not generalize those differences. 40 All cultures value kindness and respect.
A．Eye Contact
B．Body Language
C．In this way, you’ll experience cultural differences.
D．Teenagers have a strong attachment to their parents.
E．With this understanding, you won’t be thought impolite.
F．However, American teens tend to first focus on the task.
G．The key to understanding them with your friends is to ask them for advice.

In our home, we already had a child of our own, Margaret, who was thirteen. Our friends thought we were mad to take on another teenage child.
That afternoon, Trudy arrived, She stepped into the front hall and clung to the walls. The first thing that came to my mind was that she looked like a hunted animal. Margaret grabbed her hand and said proudly: “Come and see your room. I helped make your bed.” Trudy pulled back, but didn’t let go of her hand.
At this point, I stepped towards her and said, “Welcome to our home, Trudy.” Her eyes darted back and forth like a creature looking for a way out. This had been her fifth foster (领养) home since she was eleven. No wonder she was afraid. I put my arms around her and told her she would be safe with us.
Trudy was very quiet but pleasant and the two kids got on along well, One day, I took Margaret shopping for a new winter coat, and Trudy came too. Trudy had picked out a jacket that she liked, She walked up to Margret, modelling the jacket, and sighed, “Isn’t it beautiful ” Margaret agreed as they both looked in the mirror. Replacing the jacket on the rack, she rejoined Margaret.
While they were busy, I quietly asked the salesperson to wrap up the jacket that Trudy had tried on. We bought the coat that Margaret had loved, and the salesperson had placed the parcel containing Trudy’s coat where the girls couldn’t see it.
When we arrived home, Margaret proudly modelled her new coat. Trudy was complimenting on her choice. I chose that moment to say, “Trudy, would you please go out and bring in the parcel I left in the car ”

W: I love mushrooms. They’re so interesting. I learned that the mushrooms we see are often one single creature that is all connected underground. Not only that, but they are very good nutrition for the areas that they grow in.
M: That’s interesting. I think bamboo grass is very similar in the way that it grows. Most bamboo is all connected by a single root system. This makes it very hard to get rid of if you wanted to plant something else.
W: I didn’t know that, but it makes sense. I know bamboo can grow very fast. I think here in New Jersey, you need to get a permit in order to plant bamboo. It’s probably because of how difficult it is to control.

22．细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“As the name suggests, the theatre sits in the centre of Soho, and its bar has become a hub for artists and audiences alike.”（顾名思义，剧院坐落在Soho的中心，它的酒吧已经成为艺术家和观众的中心。）可知，Soho Theatre以它的所在地命名。故选C项。
23．细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“A truly unique place made up of eleven disused train tunnels below Waterloo station, with an atmosphere all of its own.”（这是一个真正独特的地方，由滑铁卢车站下面的11条废弃的火车隧道组成，有自己的氛围。）可知，Vaults Theatre由旧铁路线组成。故选D项。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Eleanor Lowenthal作为一个技术员在哈佛大学比较动物学博物馆工作的经历，以及她在E.O. Wilson的研究团队中的重要贡献。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Eleanor Lowenthal — my grandmother — in desperate need of income to put her husband through graduate school, walked into the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology. There, she convinced the scientists that she was the perfect person to mount (安放) and catalog their growing ant collection.(我的祖母Eleanor Lowenthal急需收入供丈夫读完研究生，她走进了哈佛比较动物学博物馆。在那里，她说服了科学家们，她是他们不断增长的蚂蚁收集和编目的完美人选。)”和第二段中“At the time, a promising graduate student named E.O. Wilson was coming up in the department. Wilson, who passed away in December 2021, was called the “father of biodiversity”. When Eleanor joined the department, researchers were racing to collect and catalog specimens (标本).(当时，系里来了一个很有前途的研究生，名叫E.O. Wilson。Wilson于2021年12月去世，被称为“生物多样性之父”。当Eleanor加入该部门时，研究人员正在竞相收集和分类标本。)”可知，前两段介绍了Eleanor进入哈佛比较动物学博物馆从事蚂蚁的收集和标本分类工作，同期Wilson进入该系进行相关研究，两人产生了交集。所以前两段主要写的是Eleanor和Wilson的职业道路是如何重叠的。故选C项。
25．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Even when women’s early work has been credited, the language used to describe their contributions often minimized their role in the team, not mentioning them by name. A recently discovered department report includes lines such as, “A large amount of spreading and setting insects was done by the lady assistant,” and “The collection has been remarkably free from pests… due to the continuous care of the lady assistant.”(即使女性的早期工作得到了肯定，用来描述她们的贡献的语言通常也会低估她们在团队中的作用，而不是提到她们的名字。最近发现的一份部门报告中包括这样的语句：“大量的昆虫传播和产卵是由这位女助理完成的”，以及“由于这位女助理的持续照顾，这些收藏品出乎意料地免于害虫。”)”可知，早期女性在工作中的贡献不能得到完全的肯定，段中引用报告中的句子“大量的昆虫传播和产卵是由这位女助理完成的”和“由于这位女助理的持续照顾，这些收藏品出乎意料地免于害虫。”是为了证明这一点。故选B项。
26．细节理解题。根据第六段中“The department now functions like a library (specimen can be borrowed for study or examined on site), and serves as a training center for the next generation of scientists who use the collection in ways Wilson and my grandmother probably never imagined.(该部门现在的功能就像一个图书馆(标本可以借来研究或在现场仔细检查)，并作为下一代科学家的培训中心，他们以Wilson和我祖母可能从未想象过的方式使用这些标本。)”和第七段中“Eleanor didn’t realize the impact of her contribution at the time — the technician role was just a job that paid $38 a week. But she’s come to appreciate the significance of her work on a project that spans centuries.(Eleanor当时并没有意识到她的贡献的影响——技术人员一职只是一份周薪38美元的工作。但她已经开始意识到她在一个跨越几个世纪的项目中工作的重要性。)”可知，今天的研究人员仍在享用Eleanor的成果。故选A项。
27．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“Behind the scenes, technicians like my grandmother preserved the specimen that furthered Wilson’s work and continue to provide new insights and opportunities for researchers across the globe.(在幕后，像我祖母这样的技术人员保存了标本，进一步推动了威尔逊的工作，并继续为全球的研究人员提供新的见解和机会。)”和第三段中“Eleanor’s job as a technician required the same manual flexibility and coordination that art school had demanded. The job required her to work quickly, yet precisely.(Eleanor的工作是一名技术人员，需要艺术学校所要求的手工灵活性和协调性。这项工作要求她工作迅速而精确。)”可知，文章介绍了Eleanor默默地在比较动物学领域从事着幕后工作，她的灵活、精确和迅速让她取得了成功。所以用“In memory of Eleanor — a woman who worked behind the scenes with extraordinary speed, accuracy and artistry(为了纪念Eleanor——一个在幕后以非凡的速度、准确性和艺术性工作的女人)”作标题。故选D项。
28．B 29．C 30．D 31．C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了年轻的狄迪偶然的机会当上导演的故事。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段“For Di, becoming a director is an adventure based on interest. Majoring in journalism, he got into directing by chance. (对狄来说，当导演是一次基于兴趣的冒险。他主修新闻学，一次偶然的机会进入导演行业)”可知，狄迪是意外成为导演的。故选B项。
29．主旨大意题。根据第二段“For Di, becoming a director is an adventure based on interest. Majoring in journalism, he got into directing by chance. “In 2016, I came up with an idea for Tsinghua’s admissions (招生) video but couldn’t find a director,” Di said. “so I decided to be the director myself! I ended up really enjoying the process of being creative and working with a team. That was when I knew I wanted to be a director.”(对狄来说，当导演是一次基于兴趣的冒险。他主修新闻学，一次偶然的机会进入导演行业。“2016年，我想出了一个制作清华招生视频的主意，但找不到导演，”狄说。“所以我决定自己当导演！我最终真的很享受与团队合作的过程。那时候我知道我想成为一名导演。”)”可知，本段主要介绍狄迪如何开始成为导演的。故选C项。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段“‘Only one-third of my time is spent on set. The rest of the time, I’m doing lots of planning with my clients and co-workers.’ he said. This planning process includes working out the video’s theme with the client, creating a play, bringing together the visuals and text content, and also managing logistics (后勤) like where to park the cars and how to bring electricity to the set.(他说：“我只有三分之一的时间花在片场。剩下的时间，我和我的客户和同事一起做很多计划。”这个规划过程包括与客户一起确定视频的主题，创作一部戏剧，将视觉效果和文本内容整合在一起，还包括管理物流，如将汽车停在哪里以及如何为片场供电)”可知，狄迪的工作内容里不包括做饭。故选D项。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“One month before the national college entrance exam in2020, Di released a feature film encouraging high school students to keep working hard after the exam was pushed back by one month.(在2020年高考前一个月，狄发布了一部故事片，鼓励高中生在高考推迟一个月后继续努力)”可推知，狄迪的作品对很多人起到鼓励作用。故选C项。
32．B 33．A 34．D 35．C
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了Virtue Oboro的创业经历和她的Crib A’ Glow产品在非洲抗击黄疸疾病方面的作用。
32．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Virtue Oboro’s son, Tombra, was just 48 hours old when he had to be rushed to the NICU, suffering from jaundice, which causes yellow skin and can lead to permanent damage or even death.(Virtue Oboro的儿子Tombra刚出生48小时就被紧急送往新生儿重症监护室(NICU)，因为他患有黄疸，会导致皮肤发黄，可能导致永久性损伤甚至死亡。)”可知，Virtue Oboro的儿子Tombra出生后不久就因为患有黄疸被紧急送往新生儿重症监护室(NICU)。故选B。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“She designed the Crib A’Glow and named her new company Tiny Hearts. The mobile phototherapy unit is powered by the African sun, and costs one-sixth the price of a normal phototherapy crib — and is produced in her homeland of Nigeria.(她设计了婴儿床A’ Glow，并将她的新公司命名为Tiny Hearts。这种移动光疗装置由非洲的太阳提供动力，价格是普通光疗婴儿床的六分之一，是在她的祖国尼日利亚生产的。)”可知，该婴儿车由太阳提供动力。故选A。
34．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The Crib A’Glow can now be found in 500 hospitals across Nigeria and neighboring Ghana. It has been used on 300, 000 babies already. Virtue, who has also become a 2022 awardee for the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation, says a further 200, 000 babies will be saved from jaundice by using the cribs in rural areas — no hospitals or electricity needed.(如今，在尼日利亚和邻国加纳的500家医院中，都可以找到婴儿床A’ Glow。它已经在30万婴儿身上使用。Virtue还将获得2022年非洲工程创新奖，她说，在农村地区使用这种婴儿床将使另外20万婴儿免于黄疸病——不需要医院或电力。)”可知，最后一段的数字是为了说明这种婴儿床因为不需要医院或电力，所以会拥有很好的发展前景。故选D。
35．推理判断题。根据文章第三段““I felt like some of the things I experienced could have been avoided,” the visual designer said. “I thought, is there something I could do to make the pain less for the babies and the mothers ”(“我觉得我所经历的一些事情是可以避免的，”这位视觉设计师说。“我想，我能做些什么来减轻婴儿和母亲的痛苦吗？”)”可知，Virtue是一个关爱他人的人；再根据文章第四段“She designed the Crib A’Glow and named her new company Tiny Hearts. The mobile phototherapy unit is powered by the African sun, and costs one-sixth the price of a normal phototherapy crib — and is produced in her homeland of Nigeria.(她设计了婴儿床A’ Glow，并将她的新公司命名为Tiny Hearts。这种移动光疗装置由非洲的太阳提供动力，价格是普通光疗婴儿床的六分之一，是在她的祖国尼日利亚生产的。)”可知，可知，她是一个有创造力的人。故选C。

【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了亚洲和美国青少年的几个文化差异方面。
36．根据前文“Knowing the cultural differences between yourself and others of your age can help you understand friends who are of a different race or culture.(了解自己和同龄人之间的文化差异可以帮助你理解来自不同种族或文化的朋友)”以及后文“You’ll also know if you arc misunderstanding your friend’s behaviour when it seems like he/she is being rude.(你也会知道当你的朋友看起来很粗鲁的时候，你是否误解了他/她的行为)”可知，E项“With this understanding, you won’t be thought impolite.(有了这种理解，你就不会被认为是不礼貌的)”起到承接作用，With this understanding代指上文提到的“了解自己和同龄人之间的文化差异”，you won’t be thought impolite和下文相呼应，符合文意。故选E项。
37．根据前文“Family comes first in the Asian culture.(在亚洲文化中，家庭是第一位的)”可知，本段主要讲述了亚洲和美国青少年在家庭方面的差异，而在亚洲文化中，家庭是第一位的，所以D项“Teenagers have a strong attachment to their parents.(青少年对父母有强烈的依恋)”是对前文的进一步解释，并和后文“While Asian families have a greater dependence on each other, American families encourage their children and teenagers to be independent.(亚洲家庭对彼此的依赖程度更高，而美国家庭则鼓励孩子和青少年独立)”相呼应。故选D项。
38．根据前文“If you are working on a group project with teens from China or other Asian countries, they might focus on developing a good relationship with you.(如果你和来自中国或其他亚洲国家的青少年一起做小组项目，他们可能会专注于与你建立良好的关系)”可知，此处在讲述亚洲青少年在工作关系中的文化，后文“Developing relationships with their group members might come second.(发展与小组成员的关系可能排在第二位)”应是在讲述美国青少年在工作关系中的文化，和亚洲相反，所以F项“However, American teens tend to first focus on the task.(然而，美国青少年倾向于首先关注任务)”符合文意，和前文构成转折关系，并引出下文。故选F项。
39．分析设空，空处是本段小标题，根据后文“In China and many other Asian countries, making direct eye contact is considered rude and disrespectful. However, in America and some European countries, it is not only seen as appropriate but also necessary because it means the person is paying attention. In Asian culture people are usually more comfortable with less personal space than Americans arc. A touch on the shoulder or an arm is common for Asians even if you don’t know one another.(在中国和许多其他亚洲国家，直接的目光接触被认为是粗鲁和不尊重的。然而，在美国和一些欧洲国家，这不仅被认为是适当的，而且是必要的，因为这意味着这个人在注意。在亚洲文化中，人们通常比美国人更愿意拥有较少的个人空间。对亚洲人来说，即使你们彼此不认识，也经常会碰碰肩膀或手臂)”可知，本段讲述了目光接触以及碰碰肩膀或手臂等肢体语言在亚洲和美国青少年中的文化差异，所以B项“Body Language(肢体语言)”是本段小标题。故选B项。
40．根据前文“It’s important to keep in mind that when learning about cultural differences, you should not generalize those differences.(重要的是要记住，当学习文化差异时，你不应该概括这些差异)”以及后文“All cultures value kindness and respect.(所有的文化都重视善良和尊重)”可知，G项“The key to understanding them with your friends is to ask them for advice.(和朋友一起理解他们的关键是向他们征求意见)”符合本段主题，强调学习文化差异，最好是询问他们，尊重他们。故选G项。

67． She happily headed for the parcel and when she returned, laid it on the table. “Would you please open the parcel and rip paper for me ” Trudy reached out to touch the jacket. Her hand recoiled as if she had touched something hostile. I walked over to her, putting my arms around her. I took Trudy’s face in my hands, asking, “Isn’t this the jacket you were trying on ” At that, Trudy started sobbing. “In all my life, no one has ever bought me a beautiful jacket like this. Why did you do this ” She held the jacket and stared at it with disbelief. My voice shook as I managed to say, “Because you deserve it.”
I left and went to my room so she would not see my watery eyes. My heart ached for this child who didn’t feel she was worthy of a coat. As I was sitting there deep in thought, Margaret stepped forward, saying “Mom, thank you for bringing Trudy into our home. We hope we can keep her forever.” My eyes welled up with tears. As I gathered my children to me, they began to say, “We love you, Mom.” I looked at the faces of my treasures and whispered, “I love you too. Guess who’s the luckiest mother in the world.”
