(本大题共10小题，每小题2分，共20分)Passage OneRussian tradition orders that men should kiss each other three times on the cheeks at official functions. Now, a new ruling in Moscow is calling for politicians in the capital to stick to the old handshake. According to Britain’s The Telegraph newspaper, politicians in Moscow have been told to stop kissing each other when they meet because the “kissing ceremony” takes so long.Leonid Brezhnev, the general secretary of the Communist Party from 1964 to 1982, was famous for treating male colleagues to a full lip-lock. One photograph of him kissing Erich Honecker, the leader of the Democratic Republic of Germany, was used for a protest painting on the Berlin Wall with the caption: "Oh, God, help me survive this deadly love".Kissing three times on the cheeks at official occasions is a Russian tradition. The practice has been revived among high-ranking officials in past years. In the distant past, a kiss from the tsar (emperor) was the highest sign of recognition. The Moscow ruling, however, has prompted authorities in other cities to consider banning the practice.Alexei Kleshko, a parliament member in Siberia, said: “Single-sex kisses should be avoided, including at official meetings. It’s enough to shake hands. Of course, if one is talking about a long friendship or fatherly relations, it might be OK to embrace. But that’s the maximum that should be allowed.”Another MP Vladimir Gorlov, said he only allowed himself to kiss the hand of a woman at work:"There are informal relations and there are meetings governed by protocol," he said. "When a man is kissing another man at an official event, I have a negative attitude towards it. There are rules of decency. "21.

By mentioning Brezhnev, the author ______.A. wants to show his respect to BrezhnevB. admires Brezhnev for his skills at kissingC. just shows the media made fun of pictures of politicians kissingD. praises Brezhnev’s good relation with Honecker23.

What does the last sentence mean?A. It’s OK for the men-to-men kiss afer work.B. Men-to-men kiss violates the rule of decency especially at work.C. Men-to-men kiss advocates the rule of decency especially at work.D. It’s normal for the woman-to-man kiss at work.Passage TwoEven before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”Mom never l ooked up from sewing. “You get.yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next aft ernoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached. I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high school, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room, “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.26. Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Mom’s attitu de when she made the child peel potatoes?A. Cruel.B. Serious.C. Strict.D. Cold.27.
