Ban the Band(乐队)
Every year, our school has a dance for all the students. It’s a little funny seeing friends in clean shoes and trousers or colorful 31 , instead of the usual school uniform.
Most of us think the dance is great 32 ---even the teachers enjoy being there. 33 , two weeks ago someone said that there would be no 34 band this year ---only CDs.
“I don’t 35 it!” Amy cried out during the lunch break.
“Someone said the school couldn’t 36 a band, and they think it’s too noisy anyway.” added Daniel.
“Well, I don’t think it’s 37 enough without a band!” declared Angela. “and I’m going to see what can be done. ”
Angela was as good as her 38 . In the afternoon she went to see the school headmaster who agreed to give the 39 some more thought. And he suggested that one 40 for having a band was to increase the price of each ticket from $5 to $10. Angela had to 41 out whether the students would like to do that.
“I need all of you to help me,”she 42 to our group before school the next day. “Mr. Berry gave me a list of all the names, and suggested we ask each one their 43 about the band and the extra cost.”
44 the day we asked around as Angela suggested, and wrote down people’s feelings about the band and the cost. We were amazed how much 45 there was for the band and everyone agreed to pay the extra $5.
“I’m surprised,” smiled Mr. Berry, when we gave him the 46 . “I really thought that only a few people 47 their band and that the cost would be too high. OK. Angela, your next 48 is to find a good band and line them up for the dance. ”
Angela was all smiles and 49 the news to Amy and Daniel. “You’re 50 , ” smiled Daniel to Angela as he thought how close they came to having a less than perfect dance.

第四部分：阅读理解(第一节10小题，第二节5小题;每小题2分，满分30分)
第一节：阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
Successful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures. They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptions—mistaken ideas.
One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism (民族优越感), the belief that one’s own culture’s way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures. It’s ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business. To avoid ethnocentrism, it’s necessary to study the different elements(组成部分)of culture: language, values and attitudes, and customs and manners.
Language
A knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways. First, people can communicate directly. Second, people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language. Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly. Finally, knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.
Values are people’s basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. An attitude is a way of thinking or acting. Values and attitudes influence international business. For example, many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries, and they buy a lot of it.
Customs and manners
Customs are common social practices. Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite. For example, in the United States, it is the custom to have salad(色拉)before the main course at dinner, not after. It’s not acceptable to talk with food in the mouth at table. Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products. Orange juice as a breakfast drink of an American company in France doesn’t sell well because the French don’t usually drink juice with breakfast.
