(A)

On a hot African(非洲) morning, Leila was lying on her stomach and an elephant was walking towards her. Leila waited. Then she pushed the button (按钮) on her camera. “And I got my best photo of an elephant ever, by lying under my car,” Leila explained. “I wanted to get close to the elephants, but of course this was dangerous; they had their babies with them. So every morning I used to park my car in the open air near the path. They used to take the same path every morning when they left the water hole. After a week, they were used to seeing my car. So the next morning, I lay under it and got my photo!”

Many of the best wildlife photos come from good planning. In Africa, photographers (摄影师) set up their hides near water holes. They also set up hides near forest paths, as animals use the same paths every night. For bird-watching, many lakes have hides. Inside the hides, bird-watchers can watch all day out of the wind and rain.

Good wildlife photos are needed for books, postcards, magazines and newspapers. But a success rate of 1 in 20 is good.

A. near a lake B. under her car C. in a hole D. inside the hides

A. The success rate of taking wildlife photos is 50% at most.

B. The elephant was frightened when she saw Leila.

C. Bird-watchers usually watch birds near forest paths in Africa.

D. About 5% of good wildlife photos will be accepted by a magazine.

( )4. How can photographers take good photos from the passage?

A. By making good preparation. B. By using a good camera.

（B）

In most cultures，when you meet people you know for the first time during a day，it is usual to greet them．Once a young woman from England went to Hong Kong to work．When she first arrived，she knew little about the Chinese culture of language．On her way to school one day，she went to a bank to get some money．To her surprise，the bank clerk asked her if she had had her lunch．She was surprised at such a question because in the British culture it would mean an invitation to lunch．Between unmarried young people it can also mean the young man's interest in dating (和...约会) the girl．Since this bank clerk was a stranger to the British woman，she was very puzzled，and quickly answered that she had eaten already．After this she went on to school and was even more surprised when one of the teachers asked her the same question．

By now she understood that it could not be an invitation but was puzzled (困惑的) about why they asked it．In the following days, she was asked the same question again and again and she spent many hours trying to work out why so many people kept asking her this．At last she thought that these people must be concerned about(关心) her health．She was rather thin at the time，and she thought they must be worrying that she was not eating well!

In fact, the question like that has no real meaning at all — it is only a greeting．

( ) 6.According to the writer, when we meet a stranger, it is ______ to greet him or her.

A. interesting B. common C. important D. generous

( ) 7.From the passage, we can know that the writer know _______ about Chinese culture.

A. popular B. meaningful C. manners D. invitation

( ) 10.The writer’s main purpose in writing this passage is most probably to _________.

A. show himself to be interested in Chinese greeting

B. advise people to follow the Chinese greeting

C. complain about (抱怨) the Chinese greetings

D. point out the differences of the greetings between the different cultures

五、任务型阅读（共l0空；每空l分，计l0分）

Writing a thank-you letter can be a great way to express thanks for a favor (帮助；恩惠) someone did for you. Consider (考虑) the following steps when writing your letter, which will help make your thank-you letter more meaningful and sincere(真诚的).

Before you start, buy some special stationery, such as nice paper or blank cards. The stationery doesn’t have to be expensive, since even one-dollar card can be very nice. And you must decide whether you prefer to type your letter or (是..还是...) write it by yourself. Handwriting has a more personal feeling, while a printed（打印的） thank-you letter looks more professional (专业的).

Now, you can start writing. You should express your purpose from the beginning. Start your letter by thanking the person for the gift or service he or she provided. Then you should explain how you plan to use the gift or service, or explain how the gift or service has already been used. What’s more, you can also express your feelings on the gift or service by saying that “It was a wonderful birthday present…” It also helps to mention a personal feeling such as “I was just so happy with the party.” In the end, you should mention that you want to see or talk to the person again soon. For close relatives and friends, you can also tell them how much you miss them and express regret(遗憾) that their visit was short.

Sign your thank-you letter personally and with a heart. Try “Love”, “Yours truly”, or “Take care” instead (代替) of “Sincerely” as it is more for business.

In this way, you will always maintain (维持) a pleasant relationship(关系) with your friends and relatives.
