Passage 1

In almost every big university in the United States, football is a favorite sport.

American football is different. Players sometimes kick the ball, but they also throw

the ball and run with it. They try to take it to the other end of the field. They have four

chances

to

move

the

ball

ten

yards.

They

can

carry

it

or

they

can

throw

it.

If

they

move the ball ten yards, they can try to move it another ten yards. If they move it to

the end of the field, they receive six points.

It is difficult to move the ball. Eleven men on the other team try to stop the man

with

the ball.

If he does not

move the ball ten

yards, his

team

kicks the ball to

the

other

team.

Each

university

wants

its

own

team

to

win.

Many

thousands

of

people

come to watch. They all shout for their favorite team.

Young men and women come on the field to help the people shout more. They

dance and jump while they shout. Each team plays ten or eleven games each season.

The season begins in September and ends in November. If a team is very good, it may

play another game after the season ends. The best teams play again on January 1, the

first day of the New Year. Many people go to see these games and many others watch

them on TV.

6. The passage talks about American football.

A. T

B. F

7. We can catch the football in both American football and Chinese football.

A. T

B. F

8. It is difficult to move the ball because many men on the other team try not to let the

ball come near.

A. T

B. F

9. If they are the best teams, the teams will play on January 1.

A. T

B. F

10. The season begins in November and ends in September.

Passage 2

A

foreigner’s

first

impression

of

the

U.

S.

is

likely

to

be

that

everyone

is

in

a

rush

—

often

under

pressure.

City

people

appear

always

to

be

hurrying

to

get

where

they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing (

推、挤

) others as

they try to complete their errands (

任务

). Racing through daytime meals is part of the

pace of life in this country.

Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting

for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time

allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters

will hurry you.

You also find drivers will be abrupt (

粗鲁的

) and that people will push past you.

You will miss smiles, brief conversa

tions, and small courtesies with strangers. Don’t

take it personally. This is

because people value time highly, and they resent (

讨厌

)

someone else ―wasting‖ it beyond a certain courtesy

(

礼仪

) point.

The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American

system

of

values,

patience

is

not

a

high

priority.

Many

of

us

have

what

might

be

called ―a short fuse.‖ We begin

to

move restlessly about

if we feel

time is

slipping

away without some return

，

be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or

rest. Those

coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace

to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.

Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call,

for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of

tea or coffee they may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely

business

chats

in

a

café

or

coffeehouse.

Normally,

Americans

do

not

assess

their

visitors

in

such

relaxed

surroundings

over

prolonged

small

talks.

We

seek

out

evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social

courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we

start talking business very quickly.

11. Which of the following statements is wrong?

A. Americans seem to be always under pressure.

B. Americans attach less importance to patience.

C. Americans don

’

t care much about ritual socializing.

D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.

12. In the fourth paragraph,

―

a high priority

‖

means ______________.

A. a less important thing

B. a first concern

C. a good business

D. an attractive gift

13. Americans evaluate a business colleague ______________.

A. through social courtesy

B. through prolonged business talks

C. by establishing business relations

D. by learning about their past performance

14. This passage mainly talks about ______________.

A. how Americans treasure their time

B. how busy Americans are every day

C. how Americans do business with foreigners

D. what American way of life is like

15.

We

can

infer

from

the

passage

that

the

author

’

s

tone

in

writing

is

______________.

A. critical

B. ironical

C. appreciative

D. objective
