11. The company is starting a new advertising campaign to _____ new customers to its stores.
A. join
B. attract
C. stick
D. transfer 解析:选B。考查动词词义辨析。join参加,结合,加入；attract吸引，招引；stick （常与in, into, through连用）（把尖物）插入，刺入，戳入；transfer（常与to连用）迁移，调任，转移。根据句意可知，选B。 12. I was surprised by her words, which made me recognize _____ silly mistakes I had made.
A. what
B. that
C. how
D. which 解析:选A。考查what引导宾语从句的用法。recognize 后面要接宾语，所以从句一定是宾语从句。what是一个形容词，在宾语从句中作定语，修饰mistakes；that引导宾语从句时，不作句子成分；how是副词，修饰形容词或副词；which表示从所提供的对象中进行选择。故选A。 13. Every possible means _____ to prevent air pollution, but the sky is still not clear.
A. are being used
B. have been used C. has been used
D. had been used 解析:选C。every修饰means，所以means表示的是单数意义，故排除A、B两项；D项时态与语境不符，故排除。 14. In some parts of London, missing a bus means ______ for another hour.（2002·上海春） A. waiting
B. to wait
C. wait
D. to be waiting 解析:选A。考查动词mean的用法。mean doing...意味着；mean to do...打算做……。 15. The shopkeeper did not want to sell for ______ he thought was not enough.
A. where
B. how
C. what
D. which 解析:选C。考查what引导介词宾语从句的用法。where引导宾语从句时，在句子中作地点状语；how 引导宾语从句时，在句子中作方式状语；宾语从句缺少主语，所以排除A、B两排；which表示从所提供的对象中进行选择，不符合本句语境。故选C。
根据以下所给的资料，以“Social Customs between Americans and Chinese”为题,用英语写一篇短文概括所给的信息。
世界上不同的地方社会习俗也不同。比如，在美国两个人第一次见面就直呼对方名字，即使是年轻人对年长者也是这样，而在中国这样被认为是很不礼貌的。
另外一个不同是交谈时可以谈些什么话题。比如，询问别人穿的大衣的价格，中国人觉得这没什么，而美国人则认为这是很不礼貌的。
注意：词数100左右。 范文背诵 Social Customs between Americans and Chinese
Social customs differ in different parts of the world. For example, the Americans call each other by their names when two people first met, and so does the young to the old.
In china, it will be regarded as quite impolite to do so.
Another difference is about what can be talked about in conversation. Chinese think nothing of being asked how much his coat costs while Americans think it impolite to ask such a question. 句型背诵
