lives were miserable. King
Louis

national parliament and
raise
more taxes.
But his effort failed. He ordered his
troops to V

Revolution
by
force.

Passage

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 others as they try to complete
their errands
（任务）
. Racing
through daytime meals is part of the pace of
life in this country.
一个外国人对
于美国的第一印象很有可能是每个人都在压力下匆匆忙忙。城市里的人总是表现得匆
<
/p>
匆忙忙不知疲倦的，为了尽快做完一件事情，他们会在店里拼命引起店员的注意或者用胳膊
肘推搡别人。
白天匆忙就餐也是这个国家生活节奏的一个部分。
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.
工作时间被认为是很珍贵的。在一些公共饮食场所，其他人会等在你旁边等你
吃完，这样大家都可
以得到服务，并赶在规定的时间内回去工
作。每个人都会尽快给下一个人腾出地方。如果你不这样，侍者
会催促你的。
Y
ou
also
find
drivers will
be
abrupt
and
that
people
will
push
past
you.
Y
ou
will
miss
smiles,
brief
conversations,
and
small
courtesies
with
strangers.
Don
’
t
take
it
personally.
This
is
because
people
value
time
highly, and they resent someone else
“
wasting
” it
beyond a certain courtesy point.
你会发现司机也都很匆忙，人们从你身边匆匆走过。你会错过一些微笑，简短的交谈和一些与陌生
人的小礼节。不要在意，这是因为他们非常珍惜时间，而且他们认
为一旦太注重这些社交礼节就是浪费时
间。
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
returnbe 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.
对时间的观念还会影响到我们对耐心的理解。在美国价值体系中，耐心并不
是首要考虑的。我们中的
很多人被称为“脾气火爆”
。如果我们觉得时间在毫无意义的溜走，既没有娱乐价值，工作价值，也不在
休息，那就会开始不停地徘徊。那些来自时间观念不同的国家的人发现他们在商业
和日常生活中最困难的
就是对时间节奏的适应。
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.
(348 words)
许多刚到美国来的人都会想念他们在商业会谈中一些开场礼节
。举个例子，他们会想念欢迎你到来而
泡的一杯茶或咖啡这样
的社交礼仪，
这在他们国家是常规礼仪。
他们会想念在咖啡屋悠
闲的会谈。
而通常，
美国人不会与来
访者在这么悠闲的环境中进行一些冗长的小会谈。对于同事，我们总是看他过去的表现而
不是与他的社交礼仪。
因为我们一般都是更注重专业性的，
而不是社交性的，
因此我们总是很快进入正题。
11. Which of the following
statements is wrong?
以下哪项陈述是错误的？
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.
美国人对他们的同事不礼貌。

In the fourth paragraph,
“
a
high priority

means

第四段中的
“
a
high
priority

是什么意思？
A. a less

B.
a first
concern
要首要考虑的。
C. a good business
D. an
attractive gift
13. Americans

Sixteen-year-old
Maria
was
waiting
in
line
at
the
airport
in
Santo
Domingo.
She was
leaving
her
native
country to join her
sister in the United States. She spoke English
very well. Though she was very happy she could
go abroad, she was feeling sad at
leaving her family and fiends. As she was thinking

heard the
airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage
and put it on the

Maria
，十六岁，她正在圣多
明各
(
多米尼加首都

她
的姐姐团聚。
她的英语讲得很好。

但此时要离开她的家人和朋友也很伤心。
正在她想这些的时候，她突然听到机场的工作人员正在叫她把行李放到称上。
Mar

拉了又拉，包太重，
她根本抬

He said,
“
Why

He moved forward and

“这女孩怎么了？”他说道，
“她为什么不快点？
”他走到前面，把包放在台上，希望能先登记。他
急着想要得到一个好的座位。
Maria was very
angry

polite. And
in her best English
she said,
“
Why

There are enough seats for everyone on
the plane. If you are in such a hurry, why
ca

Maria
很生气，但她很有礼貌。她用最优美的英语说，<

“你为什么如此不耐烦？飞机上的每个人都有
座位。如果你真的很急，为什么不能帮我搬一下行李？”

Britain and France are separated by the
English Channel, a body of water that can be
crossed in as few as 20
minutes. But
the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem
to be miles apart.
英国和法国被英吉利海峡阻隔，游泳穿越该海峡只要不到
20
分钟的时间。但这两个国家的文化有时
相差十万八千里。
Last
Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100
anniversary
（周年纪念）
of
the signing of a friendship
agreement
called
the
Entente
Cordiality.
The
agreement
marked
a
new
beginning
for
the
countries
following
centuries of wars and love-hate
partnership.
上星期四，英国和法国庆祝了《友好协议》签订
100
周年的纪念活动。该协议标志着两个国家在经
历了几个世纪的战争和爱恨交织的关系后的新篇章。
But
their
relationship
has
been
ups
and
downs
over
the
past
century.
Just
last
year,
there
were
fierc
e
disagreements
over
the
Iraq
war-
which
British
Prime
Minister
Tony
Blair
supported
despite
French
President
Jacques
Chirac
speaking
out
against
it.
This
discomfort
is
expressed
in
Blair
and
Chirac
’
s
body
language
at
international meetings. While the
French leader often greets German Chancellor
Gerhard Schroeder with a
hug
（
拥
抱）
, Blair just receives a
handshake. However, some political experts say the
war in Iraq could in fact have helped
ties.
但他们的关系在上个世纪也经历了几番起落。仅去
年，对伊拉克战争问题进行了激烈的争论
-
英国首
相布莱尔支持而法国总统希拉克反对。国际会议中，这种别扭在布莱尔和希
拉克的身体语言中表现得很明
显。当法国领导人频频与德国总
理格哈特·施罗德拥抱时，布莱尔只得到了握手。然而，有些政治专家说
正是伊拉克战争促进了两国的关系。
The
history
of
divisions
may
well
be
because
of
the
very
different ways
in
which
the
two
sides
see
the
world.
But
this
doesn
’
t
stop
12
million
Britons
taking
holidays
in
France
each
year.
However,
only
3
million
French come in the
opposite direction.
Surveys
（调查）
show that most
French people feel closer to the Germans
than they do to the British. And the
research carried out
o
n
Britain has found that only a third of the
population
believes
the
French can
be
trusted.
Perhaps
this
bad
feeling
comes
because
the
British
dislike
France
’
s
close
relationship with
Germany, or because the French are not happy with
Britain
’
s close links with
the US.
这种历来的分离也许是好的，因为这两个国家对世界的看法完全不同。
但是这并没有阻隔
1200
万的
英国人每年到法国度假。而法国仅有
300
万的人民去英国度假。调查显示大多数法国人对德国人比对英国
人亲切。并且在英国进行的调查显示仅有
1/3
的英国人信任法国人。也许这种坏的感觉是因为英国人不喜
<
/p>
欢法国跟德国的亲密关系，或者因为法国对英国和美国的亲密关系感到不悦。
Whatever the answer is, as both
sides celebrate 100 years of
“
doubtful
friendship
”,
they are at
least able to
make
jokes
about
each
other.
Here
’
s
one:
What
’
s

best
thing
about
Britain

Paper
is
one of
the
most
important
products
ever
invented
by
man. Wide
spread
use
of written
language
would not have been
possible without some cheap and
practi
cal material to write on. The
invention of paper meant
that
more
people
could
be
educated
because
more
books
could
be
printed
and
distributed.
Together
with
the
printing
press, paper provided an extremely important way
to communicate knowledge.
纸是人类发明的最重要的产品
之一。没有一些便宜而又实用的材料来写的话，书面语也不可能广泛
< br>传播。纸的发明意味着更多的人可以接受教育，因为更多的书可以印出来并分发出去。纸和印刷一起为知< /p>
识的交流提供了极其重要的途径。
How
much paper
do
you
use
every
year? Probably
you cannot
answer
that
question quickly.
In
1990 the
world
’
s
use
of
paper was
about
one
kilogram
for
each
person
a year.
Now
some countries
use
as much
as
50
kilograms of paper for each person a
year. Countries
like the United States,
England and Sweden use more paper
than other countries.
我们每年用多少纸呢？也许你无法很快回答出这个问题。在
1900
年，全世界的用纸量是每年人均一
公斤左右。现在有些国家的用量达到每年人均
50
公斤。像美国，英国和瑞典这样的国家的用量远超其他
各国。
Paper, like
many other things that we use today, was first
made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was
not very commonly used before the year
1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material
made of a water plant.
Europeans used
parchme
nt for many hundreds of year.
Parchment was very strong; it was made from the
skin of
certain young animals. We
have learnt of the most important facts of
European history from records that were kept
on parchment. (208words)
像许多
其他我们用的东西一样，纸最早发明于中国。在埃及和西方，十五世纪前纸并没有广泛
使用。埃及人写字写在一种水生植物做成的材料上。欧洲人用羊皮纸用了好几百年。羊皮
纸很牢固，它是
用某些幼年动物的皮做成的。从羊皮纸上保存
的记录中我们了解到关于欧洲历史的最重要的事情。

What

word
“
parchmen

A. The skin

It
has
been reported
that
in colleges
across
the
United
States, the
daytime serial
drama
known
as
the soap
opera
has
suddenly
become
“
in
”.
Between
the
hours
of
11
a.
m

and
4:30
p.
m.,
college
television
lounges
are
filled with soap opera
fans who ca
n’
t wait to see
the next episode in the lives of their favorite
characters.
据报道，在美国大学里，被称为肥皂剧的日间系列剧突然“火
”了起来。上午
11
点至下午

：
30
，大
学电视观看室里挤满了肥皂剧迷，他们急着想看自己所崇拜的偶像的下一集生活剧。
Actually,
soaps
are more
than
a
college favorite;
they
’
re a youth
favorite.
When school
is
out,
high-
school
students are in front
of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted
that she turned down a higher paying
job
rather than give
up watching
her favorite
serials.
During
the
1960
’
s,
it was uncommon
for
young
people
to
watch soap operas. The mood of the
sixties was very different from now. It was a time
of seriousness, and talk was
about
social issues of great importance.
其实，肥
皂剧不仅仅是大学生最喜爱的节目，也是年轻人最喜爱的。放学后，中学生都挤在电视机前
观看节目。有一个年轻的职业妇女坦诚说起曾经拒绝了一份薪水不错的工作而不愿放
弃观看最喜爱的系列
剧。
20
世纪
60
年代年轻人很少看肥皂剧
。那时的情况与现在很不相同。那是很严肃的时期，人们所谈的
都是关于很重要的社会大事。
Now, seriousness has been replaced
by
fun. Y
oung
people want to
be happy. It
may seem
strange that they
should
turn to
soap
opera, which
is
known
for
showing
trouble
in
people
’
s
lives.
But
soap
opera
is
enjoyment.
Y
oung
people
can
identify
with
the
soap opera character, who, like
the college-age
viewer, is
looking
for happy
love,
and probably
not finding
it.
And soap
opera
gives
young
people a
chance
to feel
close to
people without
having to bear
any responsibility for their problems.
现在，
严肃已被娱乐取代。
年轻人想寻找快乐。
如果他们想看表现生活烦恼的肥皂剧就会显得很奇怪。
但肥皂剧是令人快乐的。年轻人可以模仿肥皂剧里的人物，这些人物像大学生观众一样，在寻找快乐的爱
情，也许还没找到。肥皂剧给年轻人一个贴近人们的机会但对于他们
的问题却不必承担责任。

Passage

Many people who work in London prefer
to live outside it, and to go in to their offices
or schools every day
by train, car or
bus, even though this means they have to get up
early in the morning and reach home late in the
evening.
很多在伦敦工作的人喜欢住在伦敦郊外，然
后每天乘火车、汽车和公交车去上班或上学。这也就意味
着他们不得不早出晚归。
One
advantage of
living outside
London
is
that
houses are cheaper. Even
a
small
flat
in
London without
a
garden costs quite a lot to rent. With
the same money
, one can get a little
house in the country with a garden of
one
’
s own.
住在伦敦郊外的一个好处就是房子便宜。在伦敦即使是没有花园的小公寓也需要一笔不菲的租金，用<
/p>
同样的钱，你可以在郊区买一个带花园的小房子了。
Then, in the country one can really get
away
f
rom the noise and
hurry of busy working lives. Even though
one has to get up earlier and spend
more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better
at night and during weekends
and
on summer
evenings,
one can
enjoy
the
fresh, clean
air
of
the country.
If
one
likes
gardens,
one can
spend
one
’
s free time
digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred
and one other jobs which are needed in a garden.
Then, when the flowers
and
vegetables
come up,
one has
got
the reward together with those who
have shared the
secret of Nature.
然后，他在乡村就可以远离喧嚣和忙碌的工作生活。即使他不得不起得更早，花更多的时间乘火车或
公交车，但他晚上可以睡得更好。在周末和夏季的夜晚，他可
以享受乡村清新干净的空气。要是他喜欢花
园，在花园里干一
些想挖土、种植、浇水等许多园艺的活，那么当鲜花和蔬菜生长起来的时候，他就与其
他分享大自然秘密的人们一样得到奖赏。
Some
people,
however,
take
no
interest
in
country
things:
for
them,
happiness
lies
in
the
town,
with
its
cinemas and
theatres,
beautiful
shops
and
busy
streets,
dance-halls
and restaurants.
Such people
would
feel
that
their life was not worth living if they
had to live it outside London. An occasional walk
in one of the parks and a
fortnight
’
s (two
weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the
country they want: the rest they are quite
prepared
to leave to those who are glad
to get away from London every night.
然而
有些人对乡村并不感兴趣。对他们来说，幸福就在市区里，那里有电影院、剧院、漂亮的商店、
< br>
繁忙的街道、舞厅和饭店。如果不得不住在伦敦郊外的话，这些人就觉得生活没
意义了。
（对于那些热爱
都市生活的
人来说）他们所需要的乡村生活，就是偶尔去公园散步，每个夏天去海边过上两个星期，其他
跟乡村有关的东西，让那些每天晚上都急于离开伦敦的人们（住在郊外的人们）去
享受吧。

needed for

little house with a garden in the
