22、When my friend went to Europe last summer, instead of snapping photographs of the Louvre or the Eiffel Tower or Stonehenge, she brought back 32 rolls of ... cathedral ceilings. Ceilings. For the 10 years I’ve known her I had never suspected that she was this passionate about stained glass.

Still one of the best things about such pictures — despite their obvious narrow appeal — is that they can’t help but tell us a great deal about the people who took them.

So I shouldn’t have been surprised when I got the roll of film back from my 5-year-old son’s first camping trip. I opened the envelope, naively expecting to see pictures of the nightly campfire, the sun setting over the forest, and possibly even a deer or two.

Instead, I saw an off-center picture of tennis shoes. Not even his tennis shoes, mind you, but a pair someone had lost and left in the cabin. Mystery shoes. And that’s not all.

As I went through the stack, I found that my son had also taken a picture of his sleeping bag, a penny he found in the gravel next to the car, a leaf, an orange sock, a close-up of his father’s ear, a burned hot dog, his thumb, a piece of gum, and many other similar things.

There was barely one sign of nature in the whole stack. I couldn’t help thinking that if he’d wanted pictures of assorted junk, it would’ve been cheaper had he spent the weekend in our back-yard.

AT LEAST that is what I thought until I showed the photographs to my ceiling-snapping friend, the mother of three teenagers, who said simply, “There’s nothing wrong with these.”

But of course, this is just the type of answer you’d expect from someone who photographs ceiling.

Then she told me about the time her daughter went to Yosemite Valley and returned with rolls of photographs of the hotel, restaurant, and gift shop. She also told me about the time her son took his camera to a Major League Baseball game and returned with 24 pictures of cloud formations.

I had a feeling she was just trying to make me feel better.

Then again, to a 5-year-old boy, finding a penny is more exciting than seeing a squirrel. And why would he waste good film on something like, say, some endangered water buffaloes, when he could take a picture of cool tennis shoes? Or his shiny new green sleeping bag?

Face it: Things like beautiful sunsets and campfires can’t compare to a bag of extra-large marshmallow.

So I did what any good mother would do: I marked the date on the back of the pictures and slid them into our family vacation photo album — right after the five pages of ice sculptures I took last year on our cruise to the Bahamas.

【1】Which of the following proverbs best displays the author’s final thought?

C. If a thing is worth doing, it’s worth doing well.

D. You can take a horse to the water but you cannot make him drink.

【2】Who might have taken a picture of the back seat of the family car in his or her trip mentioned in this passage?

A. The author’s friend. B. The author’s son.

C. The author.   D. The author’s friend’s daughter.

【3】The author changed her mind on her son’s picture taking because______ .

A. her friend persuaded her to do so

B. her son’s pictures finally struck her

C. she realized the truth by herself inspired by the surrounding examples

23、Film director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy. His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, one of the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success, James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.

In 2012, James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench, known as Challenger Deep. And now the great journey has been made into a documentary(记录片) film, named James Cameron's Deep­sea Challenger 3­D.

In James Cameron's fantasy films, such as Avatar and The Abyss, the unexplored areas are decorated in colours and full of danger. But on his dive into Challenger Deep, the reality proved far different: white, deserted and dull.

“I felt like I had gone to another planet,” Cameron said after returning from the cold and dark place in the Western Pacific Ocean, nearly 7 miles below the surface. “I really have a sense of being separated and realize how tiny I am down in this big, black and unexplored place.”Cameron captured(获取) the moon­like landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.

James Cameron's Deep­sea Challenger 3­D tells the story of Cameron's journey. It is a film about determination, danger and the ocean's greatest depths. The movie shows a unique insight into Cameron's world when he makes his dream a reality and makes history by becoming the first person to travel alone to the deepest point on the planet.

It's an exciting film and inspiring reminder that our beautiful planet still has a lot to explore.

【1】When did James Cameron become interested in the ocean?

A. When he was in his childhood.

B. After his films The Abyss and Titanic.

C. After he achieved great success in movies.

D. When he began to explore the deep sea alone.

【2】What is the unexplored ocean like?

A. Colourful and dangerous.

B. Boring and deserted.

C. White and attractive.

D. Small and dull.

【3】What can we know about James Cameron's Deep­sea Challenger 3­D?

A. It is a film about the exploration of ocean creatures.

B. It is a story about Cameron's film­making dream.

C. It aims to attract more people to explore the deep sea.

D. It tells us about James' journey into Challenger Deep.

【4】What is the best title for this passage?

A. The Great Dream of a Film Director

B. A film Director Exploring Deep Sea

C. James Cameron and His Documentary Film

D. The First Person to Make Films About the Deep Sea

24、I still remember my father’s embarrassment the day when he was invited to have dinner at a colleague’s house. Freshly arriving in Brazil, and not being able to look up on the Internet, he offended his hosts by making a hand gesture — a circle with the thumb and index finger. He had always understood it to mean “OK”, but in Brazil, it meant something different.

The episode was swiftly forgotten. My father’s colleague understood that he probably wasn’t yet aware of the local meaning of the gesture. He gently explained it meant something rude, and then it was filed away under “things not to be done in Rio”.

I was reminded myself in China. After I replied to a friend’s WeChat message with a Van Gogh sticker that I thought meant “keep fighting”, another friend told me I used it wrong.

“The Chinese version is a bit different,” she said, taking out her phone and showing to me. “See these characters? They mean ‘I will hit you!’”

Life is full of crossed meanings. In India, you sign to someone to come over with your palm down, not up. And in the Middle East, you never use your left hand for anything public.

As adults, we understand that even if it hurts, a mistake is only an insult (侮辱) when it is deliberate. Yet, many conflicts come from misunderstanding, and history is full of the unfortunate outcomes of cross-cultural communication.

My father’s pre-Internet Brazilian mistake was forgiven because of context — he had just arrived and he didn’t know its local meaning. But when context is absent or simply differently understood — especially in the social media — perhaps it is time we all think twice before typing or talking, especially when the consequences can be more severe than the misuse of a WeChat sticker.

【1】What is the topic of the text?

A．Cultural difference.

B．Language and culture.

C．Sign language.

D．Good manners.

【2】What does the author want to show by telling his father’s story?

A．The OK sign means differently in Brazil.

B．Cross-cultural mistakes are common.

C．The Internet helps to avoid mistakes.

D．Misunderstandings lead to bad results.

【3】What did the author mean to do by using the Van Gogh sticker?

A．To greet his friend.

B．To encourage his friend.

C．To threaten his friend.

D．To make fun of his friend.

【4】What might result in if there is no context?

A．Cultural conflicts.

B．Forgiveness.

C．Cultural gaps.

D．Mutual respect.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。

My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is. Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy." She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But they are doing well in their life. You keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."

Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated (深思) the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes." She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind." Over the years my mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was: "No, but you are getting smarter every year, my child." Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?" I was surprised when she asked me this on this occasion.

I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "This question is very important. How you answer it shows whether you have learned about life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you a reason why. But today is the day you will know the answer." I look puzzled. "All your previous answers-ears, eyes, hands, heart…They are all very important to yourself. But this time I need you to think of something that is important to others."   

Paragraph 1:

"My dear, the most important body part," she said,
