Passage Two
The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English "You speak very good English." But the student answered, "No, no. My English is very poor." The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, "Yes indeed, you speak English very well." But the Chinese student still kept saying "No". In the end the foreigner gave up and was at a loss what to say. What's wrong with the student's answer? It is because he did not accept a compliment(赞美的话)as the English people do. He should have said "Thank you" instead of "No". He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If he said "Thank you", that would mean he was too proud. According to the western culture, if someone says the dishes you have cooked are very delicious, you should say "Thank you". If someone says to a Woman "You look so beautiful with the new clothes on", she should be very happy and answer "Thank you". In our country we think being modest is a virtue and showing off a bad thing. But in the west, if you are modest and say "No, I'm afraid I can't do it well", then the others will take it for granted that you really cannot do it. If you often say "No", you will certainly be looked down upon by others. When asking for a job, if one says something like "Let me have a try on the job" instead of "Yes, I can certainly do it," he or she will never expect to get it. So in the west one should always be confident. Without self-confidence, he cannot go anywhere. Confidence is of great importance to one in a country where competition is quite keen.
40. Why was the American surprised at the Chinese student's answer?
A. Because he wondered whether the student could really speak good English.
B. Because he could hardly hear what the student had said.
C. Because he wouldn't like others to say "No".
D. Because the way to accept a compliment in China is not the same as that in the western countries.
正确答案：D此题为推论题。It is because he did not accept a compliment(赞美的话)as the English people do。通过此句知道中国人接受赞扬的方式与西方人的态度不同，并且可以推论出美国人为什么对中国学生的回答感到惊讶。

第5题：
Text 4A writer said yesterday that Richard M. Scrushy, the former chief executive of HealthSouth, paid her through a public relations firm to produce several favorable articles for an Alabama newspaper that he reviewed before publication during his fraud trial last year.
The articles appeared in The Birmingham Times, a black-owned weekly in Birmingham, Ala. Mr. Scrushy was acquitted in June in a six-month trial there on all 36 counts against him, despite testimony from former HealthSouth executives who said he presided over a huge accounting fraud. "I sat in that courtroom for six months, and I did every thing possible to advocate for his cause," Audrey Lewis, the author of the articles, said in a telephone interview. She said she received $10,000 from Mr. Scrushy through the Lewis Group, a public relations firm, and another $1,000 to help buy a computer. "Scrushy promised me a lot more than what I got," she said.
Charles A. Russell, a spokesman for Mr. Scrushy, said he was not aware of an explicit agreement for the Lewis Group to pay Ms. Lewis. The payments to Ms. Lewis were first reported by The Associated Press yesterday. "There's nothing there I think Richard would have any part of," Mr. Russell said.
Mr. Russell said that Mr. Scrushy reviewed the articles before they were published. "Richard thought she was doing a little, 'F.Y.I., here's what I'm writing,' " Mr. Russell said. Ms. Lewis said that Mr. Russell, a prominent Denver-based crisis communications consultant, was also involved in providing her with financial compensation. She said Mr. Russell wrote her a $2,500 personal check at the end of May 2005; Mr. Russell said that was true. "She was looking for freelance community-relations work after the trial," Mr. Russell said.
Ms. Lewis came into Mr. Scrushy's sphere through Believers Temple Church; she attends services and works as an administrator there. She and Rev. Herman Henderson, the pastor, were part of a group that appeared in court with Mr. Scrushy and often prayed with him during breaks. Before and during the trial, in which 11 of the 18 jurors were black, Mr. Scrushy, who is white, forged ties with Birmingham's African-American population. He joined a predominantly black church, and his foundation donated to it and other black congregations.
Mr. Henderson also said he received payments from Mr. Scrushy in exchange for building support for him among blacks. Mr. Scrushy said in a statement yesterday that his foundation donated money to Mr. Henderson's church, but said the payments were unrelated to his case. "My foundation donated to his church building fund and to a Katrina relief effort that his church sponsored," Mr. Scrushy said. "That's it. Period."
Ms. Lewis, 31, said she was disclosing details about the financial arrangement because Mr. Scrushy still owes her and Mr. Henderson a significant amount of money. Ms. Lewis provided copies of a retainer agreement that Mr. Scrushy signed last April with the Lewis Group, a public relations firm controlled by Jesse J. Lewis Sr., 82 the founder of The Birmingham Times, and a check issued to her in May from the Lewis Group. (Ms Lewis and Mr. Lewis are not related.)
第36题：The word \\\"acquitted\\\" (Line 2, Para. 2) probably means ________.
A. discharged
B. arrested
C. quitted
D. punished
正确答案：A
该词所在原句为“Mr. Scrushy was acquitted in June in a six-month trial there on all 36 counts against him, despite testimony from former HealthSouth executives who said he presided over a huge accounting fraud.”（Mr. Scrushy因36项指控而授受了6个月的审判，6月份……，尽管前HealthSouth主管指证其策划了一项大的账目作假。）因为前后半句是转折关系，所以可以推断Mr. Scrushy并没有受到制裁，因此选项A“宣布无罪”，B“逮捕”，C“解除”，D“惩罚”中，A符合逻辑。 -
第6题：
Mr. Scrushy made donations to the black groups probably because ________.
A. he had close relations with Birmingham's African-American population
B. he wanted the church to set up more buildings
C. he was very benevolent
D. he wanted to get support from the blacks in his trial
正确答案：D
Mr. Scrushy给黑人团体捐款的原因在文中有提及，关于捐款文章第四、五段有涉及。第四段提到，陪审团18个人中有11个是黑人，在审判前和审判中他和伯明翰的非裔美国人建立了关系，他加入了一个黑人教会，捐款给他们，与此同时还给其他一些黑人团体捐款。第五段一开头就提出，教堂牧师说他收到Mr. Scrushy的钱款，交换条件是为他在黑人中间赢得支持，而Mr. Scrushy本人则称这个和他的案子无关。从全文来看，Mr. Scrushy多次涉嫌欺诈，他说的话也有欲盖弥彰的感觉。在A“他和伯明翰非裔美国人有密切联系”，B“他希望教堂可以建造更多的房子”，C“他非常慈善”，D“他希望在他的案件中得到黑人的支持”中，从逻辑上推断，D最恰当。 -

第三段谈到台湾同胞认为大陆的教育“will increase their chances in Chinese job market"，还谈到了可以为学习和未来发展提供很好的环境。所以C正确。
第四段谈到“there will be better prospects for careers now that more Taiwanese companies are going there"，即随着越来越多的台湾公司入驻大陆，给在大陆上学的台湾同胞提供了很好的事业前景，所以选A。
依第三段第二句“Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese mainland education helping them to learn more about the people and culture in the mainland"，可知答案为D。

该题考查否定转移。原句“因为他对诗歌感兴趣，所以他没买书”，并不构成因果关系。有时，在把汉语中对状语的否定译成英语时，应把其转换为对谓语的否定，因此本句表达的应是“他并不是因为对诗歌感兴趣才买的书”，所以选项B为正确答案。 -

on a Chinese name card.In this case the family name still come first, and the other words after it(4)a two-word given name.it is quite usual in China.My sister is Li Xiaofang.She has two words in her given name instead (5) just one like mine.(完型填空)
A.Put
B.From
C.Should
D.of
E.are
答案：B A C E D
解析：本段意思：研究不同国家的名称是非常有趣的。中国人的名字不同于外国人的名字。有一次，一位英国女士来看我。当我被介绍给她时，她说:“很高兴认识你，萍小姐。然后她给了我她的名片，上面有三个字:“贝蒂·j·布莱克。”所以我说:“谢谢你，贝蒂小姐。我们面面相觑，开怀大笑。后来我发现英国人把姓放在最后，名放在前面，中间的名字用得不多。我向她解释中国姓在前，名在后，所以她永远不要叫我萍小姐。她问我们中国人有没有中间名。我告诉她我们没有。但是人们经常会在一张中文名片上发现三个字。在这种情况下，姓仍然在前面，在它后面的其他单词是两个单词组成的名字。这在中国很常见。我妹妹是李小芳。她有两个字在她的名字，而不像我一样只有一个。

文章讲述的是Ms. Lewis为获利受Mr. Scrushy之托写有利于他的文章，但之后Mr. Scrushy却没有付清答应的款项，因此Ms. Lewis将其公布于众。第一段提到Mr. Scrushy的发言人Mr. Russell否认这个事实，无非是怕承认后Mr. Scrushy的名声受到损害，这是最关键的，至于钱款并不是最关心的，因此C最符合逻辑。 -

第20题：
根据以下材料，回答
Derek Sandha, who came from France, wasdressed in formal suit on Thursday morning in a hall. It was so quiet that youcould hear yourself breathe. He held a glass of baijiu in his hand, and studiedit as if it were a piece of art. Then he closed his eyes, inhaled the aroma andfinally tasted it with apparent satisfaction.
"It′s amazing," he said.
Sandha was one of the panelists judging theChinese alcoholic classic at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles Guiyang 2015Spirits Selection in Guizhou province.
The event, which kicked off on Wednesday ina region famous for its baijiu brands, has attracted global attention, with1,397 spirits from 43 countries seeking recognition at one of the world′ s mostauthoritative spirit competitions.
It was the first time that baijiuofficially became a category of spirits to be tasted. The event was organizedby Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, established in 1994 and dubbed the"United Nations of fine wines".
"It was really hard to swallow when Idrank Chinese baijiu for the first time, because the flavor is so differentfrom Western spirits. Since I′ve learned about the culture and got used to it,I like to drink Chinese baijiu", Sandha said.
He suggested makers lower its level ofalcohol, or that people mix it with other drinks to make cocktails, for easieracceptance by Westerners.
Xie Yongwen, general engineer for Daohuaxiang, a brewer based in Hubei province, said baijiu can get to foreigners′tables with much help from the government. He said since many Chinese citieshave built friendly relationships with cities overseas, spirits from the twosides could be part of an exchange of culture, thereby promoting baijiu to theworld.
What can we know from DerekSandha?A.Sandha preferred Chinese baijiu towestern spirits.
B.Sandha couldn't accept the flavor ofChinese baijiu.
C.Sandha was satisfied with a glassofbaijiu he tasted.
D.Sandha was the organizer of the ConcoursMondial de Bruxelles Guiyang 2015 Spirits Selection.答案：C解析：细节题。A项文中没有提及。B项“Sandha不能接受白酒的味道”，该说法不正确，文中说的是Sandha第一次喝白酒的时候因为它的味道与西方的烈酒很不同而难以咽下，但当他了解了白酒的文化之后就喜欢上了喝白酒。根据第一段“Then he closed his eyes，inhaled the aromaand finally tasted it with apparent satisfaction．"可知Sandha对喝的白酒很满意，C项正确。D项中应该是panelist而不是organizer。故答案选C。 -

第23题：
问答题Speaking at the Third Joint Meeting of the Chinese Physics Societies held in Hong Kong recently, Nobel Laureate Prof Yang Chen-ning talked in particular about how Chinese culture—or Eastern cultures in general — would affect the development of science in the 21st century. To him, the issue will be an extremely complex one. On the one hand, Eastern societies traditionally value education and family ties, attaching great importance to the upbringing of their young. Among scientists and technologists worldwide, said Prof Yang, those of Asian origin would undoubtedly emerge as a vital contingent with their distinctive contributions to the rapid advancements in high technologies. On the other hand, Eastern people differ from Westerners in some cultural traits, Prof Yang pointed out. For example, physicists in the United States are generally bolder in putting forward fresh views and challenging existing authorities. And almost all scientists there are “aggressive”, said the Nobel Laureate. The epithet has no Chinese equivalent, he noted, probably because “aggressive” ways and attitudes are missing in Chinese culture.正确答案：
前几天在香港召开的第三届全球华人物理学大会上,诺贝尔奖得主杨振宁教授在他的发言中特别谈到了21世纪中华文化(或东方文化)在科学领域内将起到什么作用,他认为这是一个极为复杂的问题。一方面东方社会,传统上重视教育,同时也有强烈的家庭观念。在这个基础上,子女的教育显得异常重要。对日新月异的高科技发展,亚裔人士无疑将继续成为科技界的重要群体,继续为高科技的快速发展做出贡献。另一方面,杨教授认为西方传统与东方传统有不同的内涵,他提出美国物理学界,会比较勇敢提出新的看法,敢于挑战学术权威。而且他认为几乎所有的科学家们都很“aggressive”。他说“aggressive”并没有中文译词,这说明在中国文化中没有类似“aggressive”的作风或态度。解析： 暂无解析
