If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p. m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important role. In the US guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation (邀请) to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time is different in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. To be on time is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not on time, they may be regarded as not polite or not fullyresponsible. In the US no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour; it would be bad-mannered. A person who is five minutes late is expected to apologize. If he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.46.If you telephone someone early in the day, it means ___________________.A. you are expected to explain whyB. you are not kind enoughC. you want to show your concern for himD. you have a very important matter to discuss47.The expression "a matter of life and death" means __________________.A. an issue of the greatest importance and emergencyB. a very important appointmentC. a matter of whether someone should live or dieD. a strong desire to communicate48.In the US guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded _______________.A. if the invitation to a dinner party is not extended early enoughB. if the invitation to a dinner party is extended too far in advanceC. if the invitation to a dinner party is not extended repeatedlyD. if the invitation to a dinner party is extended to too many people49.The word "misunderstanding" can be explained as ____________.A. failing to attend a partyB. failing to understand correctlyC. standing in one's wayD. standing on one's own feet50.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.

People with many varying (不同的) points of view are often running up against others who have different opinions. Those of us who smoke are just one group of many. Recently, the activism (采取行动) of non-smokers has reminded us of the need to be considerate (体谅的) of others when we smoke in public.But, please! Enough is enough! We should like to remind non-smokers that being polite is atwo-way street. If you politely request that someone not smoke you are more likely to receive an agreeable response than if you give an ugly look and say something unkind. If you speak directly to someone, you are more likely to get what you want than if you complain to the management.Many of us have been smoking for so long that we sometimes forget that others are not used to the smell of burning tobacco. We' re human, and like everyone else, we occasionally offend unknowingly. But most of us are open to friendly suggestions and comments, and quite willing to change our behavior to accommodate others.Smokers are people, too. We laugh and cry. We have hopes, dreams, and aspirations. We have children, mothers, and pets. We eat our hamburgers (汉堡包) with everything on them and give respect to the flag at Fourth of July picnics. We hope you'll remember that the next time a smoker light up in public.51.The purpose of the first paragraph is ______.A. to inform the reader of the bigness of the worldB. to declare that the author belongs to the group of smokersC. to tell non-smokers that smokers will be considerateD. to reveal the author's reason for writing this essay52.What does the second sentence in the second paragraph imply?A. We should go on two different roads.B. We have different ways of doing things.C. Being polite to each other is a mutual thing.D. We can smoke and sometimes we will not smoke.53.According to the author, how can you get an agreeable response from smokers if you don'tfeel like someone smoking beside you?A. Complain to his boss.B. Tell him directly that you hate smokers.C. Keep from complaining but do something to suggest your feelings.D. Tell him politely that you are not used to smoke.54.According to the author, why do some smokers smoke in public?A. Because they cannot stop from smoking.B. Because they forget that others do not like the smell cigarettes.C. Because they are humans and they cannot avoid offending people.D. Because there is no law against it.55.How does the author try to persuade the reader?A. He uses reasons.B. He appeals to people's feelings.C. He gives examples in his argument.D. He simply states his opinion.Questions 56 to 60 are based on the same passage or dialog.If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are aging unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of aging could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues (同事) at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain activity of a thousand people of different ages and varying (不同的) jobs.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the activity of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and feeling, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not change with age, and one can continue living without the ability to think and feel.)Change of front and side parts, as bits die off, was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not to be seen in some sixty-and-seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa discovered from his tests that there is a simple answer to the loss normally associated with age?using the head.The findings show in general terms that the decrease of the brain's ability to think begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.Matsuzawa's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must move around properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain needs. "The best way to keep blood moving well is through using the brain." He says, "Think hard and engage in conversation. Don't rely on pocket calculators."56.The team of doctors wanted to find out _________________________.A. why certain people age sooner than othersB. how to make people live longerC. the size of certain people's brainsD. which people are most intelligent57.Which of the following statements is true?A. People who work in the government don't age as quickly as people in the town.B. The back of the brain is in charge of people's eating.C. The easiest way to prevent the brain from aging is to improve our diet.D. We are young when we have enough physical exercise.58.The doctor's tests show that _____________________________.A. our brains shrink as we grow olderB. the front section of the brain does not shrinkC. sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-oldsD. some people's brains less active than other people's59.According to the passage, which group of people seem to age sooner than the others?A. Lawyers.B. Professors.C. Doctors.D. White-collar workers.60.The article is possibly written for ________________________.A. junior studentsB. ordinary readersC. doctors and nurses in hospitalsD. university professors。
