第二篇：
For decades anthropologists have been studying strange and unusual cultures all over the world. One of the strangest peoples of all is a group called the Nacirema, a legendary tribe living in North America.
The territory of the Nacirema is located between the Canadian Cree and the Tarahumare of Mexico. Relatively little is known of the origin of this people, though they are said to have come from somewhere east. In fact, the Nacirema may be related to certain European peoples.
Nacirema people spend a lot of time on the appearance and health of their bodies. In Nacirema culture the body is generally believed to be ugly and likely to decay. The only way this decay can be prevented is through participation in certain magical ceremonies. In every Nacirema house there is a special shrine room dedicated to this purpose. Some Nacirema houses have more than one shrine room. In Nacirema culture, it is believed that the more shrine rooms a family has, the richer it is.
What is the shrine room? The focal point is a box built into the wall. Inside the box is a large collection of magical potions, medicines, and creams. Below the box is a small font from which water is obtained. Every day each member of the Nacirema family enters, and receives magic, holy water from the fountain.
In Nacirema culture, the mouth is considered one of the most important parts of the body. The Nacirema are fascinated by the mouth and believe that its condition has an important and supernatural effect on all social relationships. Naciremans visit “holy-mouth-people” once or twice a year. If there are any holes in the teeth, a supernatural substance is placed in each hole. It is said that the purpose of this practice is to prevent decay in the teeth and to help the Naciremans to make friends and find spouses.

第一篇：
Are you considering online dating but feeling nervous? Believe me, you’re not the only one. But the Internet is a great way to meet fun, eligible people. Here are some tips for staying safe and having a good time:
Get specific in your online profile. Write about yourself in a way that paints a vivid picture of who you are. Don’t just say you love to travel but include a brief story about your journey to Africa. How is someone going to be interested if you just say you love dogs and movies?
Never disclose too much personal information. No matter how charming your online pen pal is, no one deserves your phone number. That way, the person won’t be able to keep calling if you’ve decided later you’re not interested. And never give out a home address until after you’ve gone on a few dates.
Give someone the chance to impress you. When communicating with someone for the first time, you may think this person isn’t attractive enough and quickly decide not to meet. But you could be depriving yourself of a fantastic opportunity if you don’t give this person a second chance. Don’t be rigid； first impressions aren’t always the whole story.
Telling little white lies could backfire. Be honest online because it’s the right thing to do – and because you will have to live with the consequences of any fibs you tell. Most people would get angry when they find out their online date is 30 pounds heavier or 10 years older than he or she claimed to be. Don’t exaggerate and don’t set yourself up to be a disappointment. You want to exceed expectations.
Refrain from doing all the talking. It’s so much fun to express yourself online that you might not realize your potential date has not been typing much back. Or you might feel so nervous when you talk on the phone that you monopolize the conversation. It’s important that you give the other person time to talk and that you listen attentively. Communication should be reciprocal.
【題組】44. What could “little white lies” lead to?
(A) You would get kicked out from the dating website.
(B) You would let your date down when you meet.
(C) You would be shot from behind by your date.
(D) You would also be lied to by your date afterwards.

第二篇：
Archaeological discoveries and literary texts prove that dance has existed for thousands of years. Many ancient paintings show dancing figures involved in important religious functions. In Egypt, dancing was used to honor the gods and those who passed away. The Greeks later mimicked this Egyptian custom in spiritual contexts, such as temple ceremonies. Additionally, the Greek philosopher Aristotle ranked the art of dance as equal to poetry. Gifted dancers, he believed, could use rhythmic gestures to communicate everything from character traits to specific actions just as clearly as words could.
Many of today’s formal dances, like the waltz, were developed in the royal courts during the European Renaissance. The love of dance among the upper class also led to the creation of ballet. Ballet began as a fluid interpretation of fencing and audiences, including commoners, were charmed by the dancers’ graceful movements. King Louis the XIV was so fascinated by the style that he brought many talented performers together and founded the first professional ballet company.
During the 1920s, dancing for amusement started gaining wider acceptance, and the number of newly invented dances soared. In America, this obsession was the foundation of a novel competition: the dance marathon, where contestants showed off their dancing skills and physical endurance. During every hour, couples would dance for 45 minutes and then take a 15-minute break. It was not unusual for these marathons to last for weeks or even months! The longest one ended after 5,152 hours, and the winning pair got $2,000, about 1.5 times the average of American’s annual salary at the time!
Dancing may not be inherently romantic, but occasions of love are often accompanied by special dances, especially marriages. In Morocco, belly dancers lead guests into the reception hall to kick off the party. Wedding goers in Mexico form the shape of a heart around the newlyweds while they share their first dance as a married couple. And in Italy, guests at a wedding party join together for the tarantella, a dance for good luck. Legend has it that this lively dance cured a woman bitten by a poisonous spider.
【題組】47. How did Greek philosopher Aristotle think of dancing?
(A) Dancing and poetry have little in common.
(B) A writer should learn dancing for inspiration.
(C) Dancing can be as expressive as literary works.
(D) A good dancer is intriguingly also a good poet.

第一篇：
Leadership and management skills are something that rarely comes naturally to most people. But if you follow some basic rules and are willing to learn how to work with people, you will have things running much more smoothly in the workplace. Here’s a list of some major things you should not be doing.
First, neglecting employees. Your workers are your business and they have to be treated properly. Failing to attend to workers can be a financial and productivity drag for any business. Workers are people with feelings and emotions and need to be told in many ways how important they are to the company.
Second, shunning criticism. Being in a leadership position does not mean that you suddenly become immune to making wrong decisions. As a leader you must listen to constructive criticism and make necessary changes. If a worker cares enough to share his or her thoughts, the least you can do is listen.
Third, _____________. You have to trust that your workers can do the things you have done for so long. A big part of leadership and management is about making sure that things run smoothly and efficiently, and that does not mean running from job to job doing everything yourself.
Fourth, knowing everything. Many of the world’s greatest leaders are people of average intelligence who don’t know all there is to know in their industry. They understand that they can’t possibly know everything and they just need to hire people who do know their thing in their field.
Fifth, lacking focus. Obviously, there will be things that come up during the day and require immediate action that will distract you from your work, but you must have a clear set of priorities to follow. Doing a little bit of everything gets nothing finished, causing stress and feelings of being overwhelmed among employees.
Lastly, avoiding reforms. Holding on to old ways of doing things just because they’ve always been done that way is a sure way to lose business. If any aspect of the business can be improved then there has to be change, even if this means getting rid of a poorly performing worker or a product range that is no longer profitable.
【題組】42. What does the word “drag” (in the second paragraph) most likely mean?
(A) goal
(B) medicine
(C) result
(D) obstacle

第二篇：
The opposite of subliminal advertising is shockvertising. Shockvertising uses exaggerated sexual, violent, or offensive images or slogans. These advertisements can bring attention to health issues like smoking, public safety campaigns such as those about drunk driving, and many other causes, including wars.
Shockvertising often brings discomfort among the public. An anti-smoking campaign in Britain showed people whose lips were pulled on by fish hooks. The advertisements were trying to illustrate how people get “hooked” on cigarettes. The campaign received hundreds of complaints about the violence of the ads, but it turned out to be highly effective.
Studies report that shockvertising does significantly increase audience attention and memory of the ad. A study compared readers’ retention of a shocking ad, a warning ad, and an informational ad promoting safe sex to stop the spread of AIDS. The shocking ad outperformed the other two, and the researchers suggested that shockvertising causes more long-term behavioral changes than other marketing strategies do.
Italian clothing manufacturer United Colors of Benetton regularly runs advertising campaigns labeled shocking by many critics. Their early advertisements aimed to portray peace where conflict was expected: a Palestinian and a Jew with their arms around each other or a priest and a nun kissing. Into the 1990s, Benetton drew attention to the AIDS epidemic with an image of a man dying of AIDS while his family sat by mournfully. People seemed mostly to resent that Benetton was profiting from these sometimes tragic pictures. In response, the company maintains that it is trying to help solve global problems.
Not surprisingly, shockvertising can go too far for some viewers. Some studies show that when the message of the campaign is too discouraging, viewers tune out. Rather than paying extra attention, people turn a blind eye.
Also, television channels might show their disapproval. The organization responsible for supervising TV commercials in Britain once refused an ad against domestic violence. The ad shows a woman returning home to an angry boyfriend who throws her to the ground and kicks her. The makers of the ad assert that the ad is violent because the issue is violent, but the censoring agency judged it too intense to be aired.
【題組】46. Which of the following can be a most typical example of shockvertising?
(A) A man keeps slipping over different objects on the floor in an ad against littering.
(B) A kid is stunned by the sound of a fired gun in an ad that sells high-quality earplugs.
(C) A rhino’s horn pokes out from a millionaire’s forehead in an ad against illegal hunting.
(D) A woman is dumbfounded when her husband says he likes men in an ad of sturdy chairs.
