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 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 and that people will push past you. You 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.

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 migh

t 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.

1.

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.

2.

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

3.

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

4.

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

5. We can infer from the passage that the author’s tone in writing is ___________.

A. critical

B.

ironical

C. appreciative

D. objective

Passage 3

Laws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag, and to ensure proper respect

for the flag. Custom has also

governed the

common

practice in

regard to

its use. All

the armed

services

have

precise

regulations

on

how

to

display

the

national

flag.

This

may

vary

somewhat

from the general rules. The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the

flag while it is folded. Unfolded the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole.

Lower it slowly and with dignity. Place no objects on or over the flag. Do not use the flag as part

of a

costume or athletic uniform.

Do not print it

upon cushions, handkerchief, paper napkins or

boxes. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, or

badgers of the US. When the flag is used to unveil a statue or monument, it shouldn’t serve as a

covering of the object to be unveiled. If it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to

the ground, but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony. Take every

precaution to prevent the flag from soiled. It should not be allowed to touch the ground or floor,

nor to brush against objects.

1. How do Americans ensure proper respect for the national flag

？

A. By making laws.

A. It should be attached to the status.

B. It should be hung from the top of the monument.

C. It should be spread over the object to be unveiled.

D. It should be carried high up in the air.

4. What do we learn about the use of the American National Flag?

A. There has been a lot of controversy over the use of flag.

B. The best athletes can wear uniforms with the design of the flag.

C. There are precise regulations and customs to be followed.

D. Americans can print the flag on their cushions or handkerchiefs.

5. What is Americans’ attitude t

owards their National Flag?

A. Arbitrary.

B. Respect.

C. Happy.

D. Brave.

Passage 4

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.

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.

Then, in the country one can really get away from 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.

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.

1. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

____

A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.

B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country.

C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.

D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.

2. With the same money ____, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.

A. getting a small flat with a garden

B. having a small flat with a garden

C. renting a small flat without a garden

D. buying a small flat without a garden

3. When the garden is in blossom, it means that one ____ has been rewarded.

A. living in the country

B. having spent time working in the garden

C. having a garden of his own

D. having been digging, planting and watering

4. Which of the following statements is true?

____

A. Those who prefer to live in London would feel their life was meaninglful.

B. Those who prefer to live outside London would feel their life was boring.

C. Those who prefer to live in London believe their life was worthy living.

D. Those who prefer to live outside London believe their life was valuable.

5. The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to ____ .

A. deal with

B. do away with

C. escape from

D. prevent from

Passage 5

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 practical 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.

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.

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 parchment 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.

1. What’s the meaning for the underlined word ―parchment? ____________

A. The skin of young animals.

B. The paper of Egypt.

C. Around 400.

D. Around 900.

4. Which of the following countries uses more paper for each person a year? ____________

A. China

B. Sweden

C. Egypt

D. Japan

5. What is the main idea of this short talk? ____________

D. Paper contributes a lot to the keeping of historical records.

Passage 7

The

origin

of

language

is

a

mystery.

All

we

know

is

that

men,

unlike

animals,

invented

certain

sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with

each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to

present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written

in letters, we call words.

The power of words lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words

become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words

recall

to

us

the

glad

and

sad

events

of

our

past;

and

the

more

we

read

and

learn,

the

more

the

number of words that mean something increases.

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words

which appeal

powerfully to

our minds

and emotions.

This

charming

and

telling use of words is

what

we

call

literary

style.

Above

all,

the

real

poet

is

a

master

of

words.

He

can

convey

his

meaning

in

words

which

sing

like

music

and

which

by

their

position

and

association

can

move

men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or

they will make our speech silly and vulgar.

1. The origin of language is ____.

A. a legend handed down from the past

B. a matter that is hidden or secret

C. a question difficult to answer

D. a problem not yet solved

2. What is true about words?

A. They are used to express feelings only.

B. They are simply sounds.

C. They can not be written down.

D. They are mysterious.

3. The real power of words consists in their ____.

A. properties

B. characteristics

C. peculiarity

D. representative function

4. By“association”in the last paragraph, the author means ____.

A. a special quality

B. a joining of ideas in the mind

C. an appearance which is puzzling

D. a strange feature

5. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?

A. He is no more than a master of words.

B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.

C. He can move men to tears.

D. His style is always charming.

Passage 8

Once James Thornhill, a famous English painter, was asked to paint some pictures on the walls of

the king

’

s palace in England. Then workers were sent for and a big platform (

台子

)was made.

With the help of a worker, Thornhill started painting on the platform. They worked for a whole

year and at last the pictures were ready.

Thornhill was happy when he looked at the pictures, for they were really beautiful. He looked at

them for a long time, and then took one step back and looked again. Now the pictures were even

more beautiful. He took another step, then another. Finally he was at the very edge of the platform,

but he didn’t know it because he was thinking of his pictures.

The worker saw everything.

‘

What should I do?

’

he thought.

‘

Thornhill was at the very edge of

the platform. If I cry out, he will take another step, fall off it and surely be killed.

’

So the worker

quickly took some paint (

漆

Passage 9

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my day they are very busy

trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and don’t act in the

romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV

.In their opinion, “I love you” is t

oo luxurious for

them to say.

Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question.

One day, I asked my mother if there is love between her and and my Dad when she was sewing.

My

I

my

father

suddenly got sick mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a they

returned from the hospital, they both looked very seemed both of them had had a serious

illness.

After

they

were

back,

every

my

they

were

most

harmonious couple.

The doctor had said my father would recover in two after two months he still couldn’t

walk by of us were worried about him.

“

Dad, how are you feeling now?”

I asked him one day.

“Susan, don’t worry about me.” he said gently.“To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your

mom.I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I knew he loves my mother deeply.

Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet from this experience, I understand

that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

< /p>

有时候我真的很怀疑父母之间是否有爱。每天他们都忙着挣钱来支付我和弟弟的高额学费。 他们的行为不像我在书中读到

的那样浪漫，也不像我在电视上看到的那样浪漫。在他们看 来，“我爱你”对他们来说太奢侈了。在情人节互相送花更是

不可能。

< br>

有一天，我问我妈妈在缝纫时，她和我爸爸之间是否有爱。

< /p>

我妈妈停止了她的工作，没有立即回答。我很担心，因为我认为我伤害了她。

“苏珊，”她说，“看看这条线。有时它会出现，但大部分会消失在被子里 。这条线真的让被子结实耐用。如果生活是被

子，那么爱就应该是一条线。无论何时何地 都看不到它，但它确实存在。爱就在里面。”

我仔细地听着， 但直到第二年春天我才听懂她的话。那时，我父亲突然病得很重。我母亲不得不在医院陪他住一个月。当

他们从医院回来时，两人都面色苍白。他们似乎都得了重病。

他们回来后，每天早晚，妈妈都帮爸爸在乡间小路上慢慢走，爸爸从来没有这么温柔过，似乎他们 是最和谐的一对。

医生说我父亲两个月后就会康复，但两个月 后他还是不能自己走路，我们都很担心他。

“爸爸，你现在感觉怎么样？“有一天我问他。

“苏珊，别担心我，”他温和地说，“说实话，我喜欢和你妈妈一起散步。我喜欢这种生活。”从他的 眼神里，我知道他

深深地爱着我妈妈。

曾经我以为爱意味着鲜花、礼物和甜蜜的吻，但从这次经历中，我明白了爱只是我们生活被子里的一根线。爱在 里面，让

生活变得坚强和温暖。

Simple Habits to Help You Become Happier

Eat Bananas

It’s no doubt that this fruit is “top banana” when it comes to triggering happiness2. Not only is this

super

food

cost-effective

and

abundant

year-round,

it

is

also

simple

and

portable

for

when

you

need

it

the

most.

Eating

one

banana

can

calm

your

body

and

mind

while

giving

you

the

right

amount of energy and brain power to face the day.

Lending

a

helping

hand

is

a

reward

in

itself.

Using

your

skills

and

expertise

to

assist

the

less

fortunate can boost your happiness. After a

ll, you’ve accomplished something for the greater good.

Start small and maybe prepare a meal for your elderly neighbors or volunteer to cook and serve

dinner at a local soup kitchen. Bringing some life and light back into someone’s life and seeing

their happiness and gratitude is contagious.

Enjoy Friendship

Laughter is one of the best prescriptions for daily happiness. Find a group of friends and enjoy a

distraction-free

evening

reminiscing

and

talking

about

your

lives

together.

Avoid

gossip

and

venting

about

problems

that

plague

you.

Keep

in

mind

that

often

your

friends

know

you

well

enough to

give

you sound advice. Take it and then let the conversation shift to something more

lighthearted.

Plan Your Day

Plan your meals a week in advance and cook ahead on the weekends. Each evening, set aside a few

minutes to ready clothing and items that

you need for the next day. Keeping

your own needs in

mind is a great way to stay organized and in control of your life so you can enjoy each moment.

Turn off the TV

The

temptation to turn on the TV for “noise” or to relax can actually be harmful to your health and

your happiness. Don’t turn on the TV while you’re doing something pleasurable and relaxing, like

cooking or spending time with

your

family. These activities deserve

your focus

and will reduce

your stress

levels,

if

you aren’t

multitasking. Turn off the TV

and

give

yourself some reflective

time to read a book or play a game with your family.

You don’t need to change your entire life to find happiness. Start with

these simple habits that can

help refocus your mind on what is important and increase the joy you find in everyday living.

简单的习惯可以帮助你变得更快乐

吃香蕉

毫无疑问，这种水果是引发幸 福感的“顶级香蕉”。这种超级食品不仅全年价格低廉、丰盛，而且在你最需要的时候也很

简单、方便携带。吃一根香蕉可以让你的身心平静下来，同时给你足够的精力和脑力来面对这一天。

志愿者

伸出援助之手 本身就是一种回报。利用你的技能和专业知识来帮助那些不幸的人可以提升你的幸福感。毕竟，你已经为更

大的利益做了一些事情。从小事做起，也许为年迈的邻居准备一顿饭，或者自愿在当地的汤厨房 做饭和端上晚餐。把一些

生命和光明带回到某人的生活中，看到他们的幸福和感激是有感 染力的。

享受友谊

笑是日常幸福最好的良方之一。找一群朋友，享受一个无分心的夜晚，一起回忆和谈论你们的生活。避免 流言蜚语和发泄

困扰你的问题。记住，你的朋友们经常很了解你，能给你很好的建议。拿 着它，然后让谈话转移到更轻松的话题上。

计划你的一天

提前一周计划饮食，周 末提前做饭。每天晚上，留出几分钟准备第二天需要的衣服和物品。记住自己的需要是一个很好的

方式，保持组织和控制你的生活，这样你就可以享受每一刻。

关掉电视

为了“噪音”或放松而打开电视的诱惑实际上会对你的健康和幸福有害。当你做一些令人愉快和放松的事情时，不 要打开

电视，比如做饭或者和家人呆在一起。

如果你不同时处理 多个任务，这些活动值得你集中精力，

并且会减少你的压力水平。

关掉电视，给自己一些思考的时间去看书或者和家人一起玩游戏。
