Today all three generations regard the move a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.N

20、three generations regard the move a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities”可知答案。26【解析】D细节题。定位第二段，由“83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinsons decision will influence grandparents in the American family. ”可知，约83%的人认为Mrs. Robinson的决定会影响美国的很多祖父母，说明不是17%
21、而是83%的人支持，排除A；B选项文中未提及；83%的人支持，说明认为有很坏影响的人占的比例不可能超过17%；D选项符合文意。27【解析】C推断题。由第三段首句“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldnt get away from home far enough, fast enough to prove we could do it on our own”可推断20世纪60年代的时候，人们想要离开家去证明自己的能力但现实并不允许，心里其实是想离开家的，C选项正确。28【解析】A推断题。由最后一段“but sometimes it i
22、s wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling but giving up the life you know may be harder”可知有时候对祖父母来说，和孩子孙子们住在一起并非就是好的选择，反而不住在一起而是频繁去探访子孙会更好，因为这样就不需要改变祖父母自己熟知的生活方式，由此可推测出作者的建议祖父母是否搬去和子孙一起住最好从祖父母的需求出发，选择

Since March 2012, Ive done 89 trips of those, 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干细胞） in my little box because Ive got two ice packs and thats how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor
24、（捐献者） to the time they can be implanted in the patient, weve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. B
25、ut when I arrived at the check - in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “well, Im really sorry, Ive got some bad news for you - there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patien
26、t - please, please, youve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed（改道） me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job, youre consciously awa

To London.B. To Newark.C. To Providence.D. To Washington.29【解析】B词义猜测题。根据第一段第二行 carry stem cells 可知，作者是运
29、送细胞的人，所以选择B选项，delivery man。30【解析】D细节题。从第一段第三行“because Ive got two ice packs and thats how long they last. ”可以知道选择D选项，“the ice wont last any longer.” 31【解析】B细节题。由原文第三段倒数第二行“re-routed me through Newark”可知，答案选B。DThe meaning of silence carries among culture groups. Silence may be thoughtful, or they may
30、 be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or, worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural group
31、s value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a persons needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly
32、 stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of peopl
33、e with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguin
34、g with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority, persons in Asian culture may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers
35、need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patients silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessaril
36、y. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.32. What does the author say about silence in conversations?A. It implies anger.B. It promotes friendship.C. It is culture-specificD. It is
37、content-based33. Which of the following people might consider silence as a call for careful thought?A. The Chinese.B. The French.C. The Mexicans.D. The Russians.34. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A. Let it continue as the patient pleases.B. Break it while treating patients.C.
38、 Evaluate its harm to patients.D. Make use of its healing effects.35. What may be the best title for the text? A. Sound and Silence B. What it means to be silent C. Silence to Native Americans D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold 32.【解析】C推测题。原文定位第一段, 可以得知A选项不全面，沉默不只代表一个意思；同理，可排除B选项；此段反复强调“Silence ma
39、y be viewed by some cultural groups”，“ Persons in other cultural groups value” 可得知，沉默在不同文化中的意义是不同的，而不是根据对话内容变化的，由此可以排出D，得出正确答案C。33.【解析】A细节题。题干的意思是“在哪国人的文化中，沉默代表要求对方仔细考虑？”定位第二段“ Thereforeperson wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.” 中文意思为，在中国和泰国文化中，silence代表说话人想在继续会话之前让
40、倾听者考虑他说过的话。所以可以得出答案A。34.【解析】D细节题。对应文章最后一段。答案可以在段落主题句中可以分析出来第一句和最后一句。尤其是最后一句“ A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients”作者认为，了解沉默的治愈价值有助于更好地照顾病人。所以，是建议护士利用沉默的治愈价值的。而A，B选项出现在第2句so that后面的部分。用了否定词not，是作者所不建议的。C选项在文中并未提及。35.【解析】
41、B主旨题。文章为总分的结构，可从第一段入手。定位文章第一句 “The meaning of silence caries among culture groups.” 即可得知全篇都在讲沉默代表的意义，不同的文化意义不同。文中并没提到声音与沉默的关系，所以不选A；文章讲了不同国家沉默代表的意义，不局限于Native Americans，排除C；而D 选项是一句谚语，“说话是银，沉默是金”，文章并没有对比两者的重要性。因此只能选B。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。Secret codes (密码) kee
42、p messages private. Bank, companies, and government agencies use secret code in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags (落后) behind code making. The science of decoding and reading coded message
43、s is called cryptography.There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters are “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example, lets number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1
44、 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “1 3 5 20 13 5”.A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “m
45、e”. The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me”. 40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.A. It is very hard to break a code without a code book.B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.C. Only people who know t
46、he keyword can read the message.D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.G. Another way to hide a message is t
47、o use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.36.【解析】D本题考察是逻辑关系，根据下一句“code breaking never lags behind code making”可知上一句是只要出现密码，就会有人去解码，故选D。37.【解析】E本题考察是句子之间的例证关系，从后面文章的举例中“For example, the first letters are My elephant eats too many eels spell out the hidden message Meet me. ”那么前一句应该是对
48、例子的概括，即我们可以知道是运用每个单词的首字母来组成密码，E选项正确38.【解析】G本题考察是文章的篇章结构，前一段是讲到了第一种方法，根据篇章结构，下一段应该是讲述第二种设置密码的方法，而根据该段的例子，即字母表中字母排列顺序转化成为数字信息，所以这里关键词是another way 还有alphabet，故选G。39.【解析】F本题考察的是逻辑关系，从上一句“To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book ”你需要借用解码书来找出密码单词所对应真正意思，F选项表示你应该找出解码书中密码所代表的词语，故F正确。40.【解析】A本题考察的是关键词以及转折关系，根据下一句出现“it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long, ” 这里出现了als
