States she was still barred from performing on the American operatic stage. After she was prevented from singing in
Washington’s segregated Constitution Hall in 1939, Eleanor Roosevelt intervened and arranged for Miss Anderson to

perform at the Lincoln Memorial. A crowd of 75,000 people came to watch her sing before the Memorial. Marian Anderson's

make to America's cultural life.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 34 to 41.
Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the "silent language" of every culture. We
point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of
every country or we may be misunderstood. In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal

introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may
place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug.
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two and a half feet away and
at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will
move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, "Pardon me." or "Excuse me."
Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding
something, or are not interested. But when you stare at someone, it is not polite. For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very
good, or well done. Thumbs down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or above. To show you
want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but
not at people with the hand and index finger. Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat
them on the head when they admire them.
Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing. If you don't know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.
Question 34: From the passage we can learn that........
A. gestures don't mean anything while talking
B. gestures can help us to express ourselves
C. American people often use body language in communication
D. It's confusing to understand a culture's body language
Question 35: When your friend give you a thumbs-up, he, in fact, ..........
A. shows his rudeness to you
B. expresses his satisfaction to you
C. expresses his worries about you
D. shows his anger to you
Question 36: If you are introduced to a stranger from the USA, you should.........
A. shake his hand firmly
B. greet him with a hug
C. shake his hand weakly
D. place a hand on his shoulder
Question 37: The word "firm" in the first paragraph refers to.........
A. light
B. fast

C. small
D. tight
Question 38: The word "confusing" in the second paragraph refers to..........
A. easy to understand

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 01 to 07.
Marian Anderson's brilliant singing career began at age six when she sang spirituals at the Union Baptist Church in her
hometown of Philadelphia. She toured Europe in the 1920s, drawing vast acclaim. However, when she returned to the United
States she was still barred from performing on the American operatic stage. After she was prevented from singing in
Washington’s segregated Constitution Hall in 1939, Eleanor Roosevelt intervened and arranged for Miss Anderson to
perform at the Lincoln Memorial. A crowd of 75,000 people came to watch her sing before the Memorial. Marian Anderson's
beautiful contralto voice broke down racial barriers, showing white Americans that blacks had a profound contribution to
make to America's cultural life.

many years of touring, she had to endure a racism that forced her to enter concert halls and hotels through service entrances.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 22 to 29.
Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the "silent language" of every culture. We
point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of
every country or we may be misunderstood. In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal
introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may
place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug.
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two and a half feet away and
at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will
move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, "Pardon me." or "Excuse me."

Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding
something, or are not interested. But when you stare at someone, it is not polite. For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very
good, or well done. Thumbs down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or above. To show you
want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but
not at people with the hand and index finger. Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat
them on the head when they admire them.

A. greet him with a hug

B. It's rude to look at the other person for a long time.
C. It's all right to raise your hand slightly to attract the waiter's attention.
D. Pointing at someone is usually considered rude.

Marian Anderson's brilliant singing career began at age six when she sang spirituals at the Union Baptist Church in her
hometown of Philadelphia. She toured Europe in the 1920s, drawing vast acclaim. However, when she returned to the United
States she was still barred from performing on the American operatic stage. After she was prevented from singing in
Washington’s segregated Constitution Hall in 1939, Eleanor Roosevelt intervened and arranged for Miss Anderson to
perform at the Lincoln Memorial. A crowd of 75,000 people came to watch her sing before the Memorial. Marian Anderson's
beautiful contralto voice broke down racial barriers, showing white Americans that blacks had a profound contribution to
make to America's cultural life.
Eventually, in 1955, she became the first African-American singer to perform at New York’s Metropolitan Opera. In her

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 14 to 21.
Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the "silent language" of every culture. We
point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of
every country or we may be misunderstood. In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal
introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may
place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug.
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two and a half feet away and
at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will
move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, "Pardon me." or "Excuse me."
Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding
something, or are not interested. But when you stare at someone, it is not polite. For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very

good, or well done. Thumbs down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or above. To show you
want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but
not at people with the hand and index finger. Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat
them on the head when they admire them.

A. gestures don't mean anything while talking

Marian Anderson's brilliant singing career began at age six when she sang spirituals at the Union Baptist Church in her
hometown of Philadelphia. She toured Europe in the 1920s, drawing vast acclaim. However, when she returned to the United
States she was still barred from performing on the American operatic stage. After she was prevented from singing in
Washington’s segregated Constitution Hall in 1939, Eleanor Roosevelt intervened and arranged for Miss Anderson to
perform at the Lincoln Memorial. A crowd of 75,000 people came to watch her sing before the Memorial. Marian Anderson's
beautiful contralto voice broke down racial barriers, showing white Americans that blacks had a profound contribution to
make to America's cultural life.
Eventually, in 1955, she became the first African-American singer to perform at New York’s Metropolitan Opera. In her
many years of touring, she had to endure a racism that forced her to enter concert halls and hotels through service entrances.
