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 24 to 30.
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. Her grace under this stress
showed a moral perseverance that paralleled that of the famous Martin Luther King, Jr.

instead of the United States because_______.

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 36 to 43.
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 are 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 36: From the passage we can learn that_______.
A. gestures don't mean anything while talking
B. It's confusing to understand a culture's body language

A. tight
B. small

B. place a hand on his shoulder
C. shake his hand weakly
D. shake his hand firmly
