An important way of reading a large, big-city newspaper is to put it into different sections. Can you find these separate sections: world news, national and local news, sports, business, entertainment, opinions, ads? Does your paper have other sections?News stories give facts, not the reporter's opinions. Some newspaper editorials (社论) come out with the writer's name, but many newspapers only carry editorials without putting the writers' names on.You can be a better reader if you know what to expect in a newspaper. For example, you can expect headlines to leave out unnecessary words. You can expect to find the most important facts inthe leading paragraph (the first paragraph) of a news story. You can expect important news items to be on the front page. You can expect less important items to be on the inside pages.Most of all, the more you know about news of the present time, the more you will understand what is in the newspaper; important stories are generally presented one day and followed up on following days. So, an important way to read newspapers is reading one frequently.6.A good way to read a newspaper is to find separate sections and read according to your needs.A.TB.F答案：A7.To design ads might NOT be a newspaper reporter's work.A.TB.F答案：A8.From the text we know that newspaper headlines are what readers expect to read.A.TB.F答案：B9.If you are reading for major facts in the news stories, you should read the front page.A.TB.F答案：B10.The writer's suggestion to us is that we should read one newspaper frequently.A.TB.F答案：AShyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; theyfeel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find itdifficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in handwith a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.11.What does the aut hor try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?” (Para. 1)__________A.Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B.People’s shyness make them care too much about their appearance and actions.C.It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.D.Shy people think they are different from others.答案：B12.According to the writer, self-awareness is __________.A.a good qualityB.the cause of unhappinessC.harmful to peopleD.a weak point of shy people答案：A13.That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is___________.A.goodB.unrealC.very reasonableD.harmful答案：D14.Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? _________A.Shyness helps us to develop our potentialB.Shyness enables us to understand ourselves betterC.Shyness can block our chances for a rich lifeD.Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem。

大学英语B阅读理解练习题及答案

P a s s a g e 1Many 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 garden, 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 trueA. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.B. All the 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.2. With the same money needed for ________, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.A. getting a small flat with a gardenB. having a small flat with a gardenC. renting a small flat without a gardenD. buying a small flat without a garden3. When the garden is in blossom, the one ________ has been rewarded.A. living in the countryB. having spent time working in the garden.C. having a garden of his own.D. having been digging, planting and watering4. People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that ________ if they had to live outside London.A. their life was meaninglessB. their life was invaluableC. they didn’t d eserve a happy lifeD. they were not worthy of their happy life5. The underlined phrase “get away from” in the 3rd paragraph refers to ________.A. deal withB. do away withC. escape fromD. prevent from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;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,用同样的钱,你可以在郊区买一个带花园的小房子了然后,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;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、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;答案与解析本文介绍在伦敦工作的人对是在市里居住还是在乡下居住所持的不同看法和态度;1. B;推断题;根据文章内容：虽然有很多喜欢乡村生活,但文章最后讲也有些人喜欢城市生活,从而可推知此题答案为B;2. C;细节题;根据文章第2段第二、三句可推知此题答案为C;3. B;推断题;根据文章第3段最后两句可知：要是他喜欢花园,在花园里挖土、种植、浇水等等,那么当鲜花和蔬菜生长起来的时候,他就得到了与大自然分享秘密的奖赏,所以选B;4. A;推断题;根据文章最后一段第2句Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London可推知此题答案为A;5. C;推断题;根据其上文：这些人偶尔去公园散散步后去海边度两周假；本句接着说：其余的就留给那些每天晚上喜欢离开伦敦的人,那么,“其余的”显然指“其余的乡村”;从而可推知题答案为C;Passage 2By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others-they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us-an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity, who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic,. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death—such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.1. The passage mainly deals with ________.A. life and deathB. heroes and heroinesC. heroes and iconsD. icons and celebrities2. Heroes and heroines are usually ________.A. courageousB. good examples to followC. self-sacrificingD. all of the above3. Which of the following statements is wrongA. Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growthB. Superstars are famous for being famousC. One’s look can contribute to being famousD. Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times4. Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love ________.A. when she was 19B. when she became a princessC. just before her deathD. after she gave birth to a prince5. What is more likely to set an icon’s statusA. Good looks.B. Tragic and early death.C. Personal attraction.D. The quality of one’s story.就定义而言,英雄之所以与众不同是因为他们有非凡的勇气、取得了卓着的成就、常常为他人的利益而做出牺牲——他们是我们评价别人的标准;他们是大家公认的对我们国家意识的形成和我们国家的发展,还有对他们的崇拜者的一生起了重大作用的人;可是,有人说,我们的时代是很难出现真正英雄的时代,英雄主义这一概念本身我们就难以理解——它已经成为历史;有些人坚持说,由于冷战的结束和美国对外的和睦,我们的时代本质上不是一个英勇豪壮的时代;更进一步地说,总体犯罪率正在降低,经济的发展与增长已经缓解了贫困,医疗科学也在不断的进步;给文化偶像下定义就更难了,但是我们看到他们就认识了他们;他们超越了名流,成为传奇式人物,甚至在某种程度上已是神话式的人物;但究竟是哪些因素使有些人成为偶像,另一些人仅成了名流呢这就太难说了;部分原因是他们的生平带有传奇故事的色彩;比如说,年轻貌美的戴安娜·史宾塞,19岁时嫁给了王子,放弃了婚姻与王权,却在找到真爱的那一刻死去了;漂亮的长相当然有用,另外,在媒体的炒作下某种难以描述的、特殊的个人魅力也起作用;然而悲剧性地过早离开这个世界,却是造成偶像最重要的因素——例如：小马丁·路德·金、约翰·F·肯尼迪和戴安娜;Passage 3Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people.

I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced Fortunately, people can overcome shynesswith determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.1. What does the author try to p rove by citing “what kind of impression am I making ”A. Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B. People’s shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.C. It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s comp liments.D. Shy people think they are different from others.2. According to the writer, self-awareness is ________.A. a good qualityB. the cause of unhappinessC. harmful to peopleD. a weak point of shy people3. When being praised, shy people feel that it is ________.A. goodB. unrealC. very reasonableD. harmful4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passageA. Shyness helps us to develop our potentialB. Shyness enables us to understand ourselves betterC. Shyness can block our chances for a rich lifeD. Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem5. It can be inferred from the passage that shy people ________.A. should find more of their weaknessB. should understand themselves in the right wayC. had better ignore their weaknessD. can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem参考译文：害羞是由于在众人面前感觉不自在而引发的;害羞的人容易焦虑,自我意识强,他们过分在意自己的外表和行为;他们头脑里常有这样不安的想法：我给别人留下了怎样的印象别人喜欢我吗我是否听起来很蠢我穿的衣服难看吗显而易见,这些不适的感觉对人有负面影响;一个人的自我认识体现在他/她的言行举止上,这些行为影响着他人对此作出反映;总体来说,人们对自身的看法深刻影响到他们生活的方方面面;害羞的人往往自信不足,常常被动,易受他人影响;他们需要有相信自己的心态,认识到自己所做的是正确的;害羞的人对批评意见比较敏感;他们感到自卑意识由此增强;害羞的人难以取悦;他们会说这样的话：“你说那些是让我高兴,其实我知道我没那么好;” 显然,自我意识是一种良好的品质,过份的自我意识就不好了;害羞能够消除或至少减轻吗当然;只要人们坚定耐心地培养自信就可克服害羞;既然害羞源自缺乏自信,人们应该在看到自己长处的同时认识自己的短处;每个人都是独特的,有价值的个体,有自己的行为方式;我们对自己了解越多,我们就越能发挥自己的潜能;不要让害羞妨碍我们享受丰富的人生;1. 一段第—二句话提到“害羞的人很紧张和敏感,他们对于自己的外表和行为过分关心;”所以选B为正确答案;2．答案A;解析细节推断题;根据第三段最后一句,可知自我意识是—种好的品质,所以选A;选项C有干扰性,过度的自我意识是有害的,而不是说自我意识是有害的;3．答案B;解析细节推断题;根据第三段第五句;4. 答案C;解析细节推断题;根据文中最后一句“我们不应该让害羞阻碍我们过丰富的有价值的生活;”可知正确答案是C;5．答案B; 解析细节推断题;第五段第二句话提到,“我们越了解自己就越越容易发挥自己的潜质;”可以推断出我们应该正确了解自己,所以选B;Passage 4What makes a person a scientist Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations. Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.1. What makes a scientist according to the passageA. The tools he uses.B. The way he uses his tools.C. His ways of learning.D. The various tools he uses.2. “The scientist, however, goes one step further…”. The author says this to show ________.A. the importance of informationB. the importance of thinkingC. the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs3. A sound scientific theory should be one that ________.A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB. does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC. can be used for many purposesD. leave no room for improvement4. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate ________.A. the measurements are keys to success in scienceB. that accuracy of mathematicsC. that the investigations are important in scienceD. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations5. What is the main idea of the passageA. The theory of relativity.B. Exactness is the core of science.C. Scientists are different from ordinary people.D. Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.是什么使一个普通人成为科学家他有与从不同的学习方法和工具吗答案是否定的;不是因为科学家使用的工具,而是因为他使用工具的方法使他成为科学家;你也许认同怎么用力对一名木匠来说很重要;你也许也认同怎么研究调查,发现信息对每个人来说都很重要;然而,科学家比这更进一步,他必须确定他对自己的问题得出了一个合理的答案,并且他的答案通过别人也可以得到证实;他同时把自己得出的许多答案归结为一个系统的关于世界如何运作的观点;科学家的知识必须很确切;不能给半错半对或者只有一半机会对的情况留任何空间;他必须在条件允许的情况下尽可能正确;在一种条件下成功一次的话必须在同样的条件下都能成功;如果条件不同,科学家在证明过程中观察到的任何变化都必须解释他的条件是如何变化的;这是关于调查研究在科学研究中十分重要的其中一个理由;爱因斯坦通过数学方法提出了相对论;他的数学运用的正确性被后人通过调查研究的方法证实该理论是正确的;一个科学家会用很多工具来测量;测量的结果用来进行数学计算,再进行调查研究的测试;A city man was on holiday in the mountains. He talked with a mountain man and found that the man was stupid. So he suggested they play a game. “We'll ask each other questions, ” he said, “and the person will pay a dollar if he can't answer one question.” The mountain man thought about this for a few minutes, then said that the city man paid a dollar and he paid only 50 cents. The city man agreed.“What has three legs and can fly ” asked the mountain man. The city man thought a while, then answered “I don't know. Here is your dollar.”Then he asked the same question: “What has three legs and can fly ”“I don't know, either,” said the mountain man. “Here is your 50 cents.”1.

B;根据“John is twelve years old.”和“8—13 1 teaspoonful”可知B为正确答案;2. A;“Put it in a cold place.”是本题答案的依据;3. A;答案就在“Shake摇动it well before use.”中;4. C;由“Not right for children below the age of three”这句话可知,此药不适用于三岁以下的儿童;5. A;本说明的最后一句说的是此药品的保质期;答案显然为A;In England, people often talk about the weather because they can experience four seasons in one day. In the morning the weather is warm just like spring. An hour later black clouds come and then it rain hard. The weather gets a little cold. In the late afternoon the sky will be sunny, the sun will begin to shine, and it will be summer at this time of a day.In England, people can also have summer. So in winter they can swim sometimes, and in summer sometimes they should take warm clothes.When you go to England, you will see that some English people usually take an umbrella or a raincoat with them in the sunny morning, but you should not laugh at them.If you don’t take an umbrella or a raincoat, you will regret later in the day.1. Why do people in England often talk about the weatherA. Because they may have four seasons in one day.B. Because they often have very good weather.C.

The best title for this passage is ________.A. Bad SeasonB. Summer or WinterC. The Weather in EnglandD. Strange English PeopleLong, long ago there was no zero. To write the number sixty-three people wrote 63. To write six hundred and three, people wrote 63. The space between six and three was there to mean." not any "tens. Sometimes people did not remember the space. It was hard to see and read.Later people used a dot to hold the space. Six hundred and three looked like this 6.3. But the dot was hard to see. So people put a circle around it like this 6⊙3. Then people could see the dot. They remembered the space. At last, only the circle around the dot was used. It was like a zero. This is one story of how the zero came to be used.Now zero has many important uses. Zero tells how many. Can you tell some other ways of using zero1. Long, l ong ago people didn’t know how to ________.A. writeB. write zeroC. write numbersD. write sixty-three2. Long, long ago if they wrote two hundred-eight, people wrote ________.A. 28B. 2 8C. 228D. 2083. Later ________ was used to mean space.A. "not any"B. letter "0"C. zeroD. a dot4. People used circles ________.A. to remember waysB. to remember numbersC. not to forget the spaceD. to mean nothing5. The story tells us ________.A. how zero came to be usedB. how to write zeroC. what’s the use of zeroD. that zero means a dot, a circle or spaceI often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa .But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza .I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza .It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.Many years later finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that is was Pisa and no pizza .But there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really does lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like that it leans over the city.I do not think it’s a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down, it is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning .Nothing is perfect, it seems to say.And who cares Why do people want things to be perfect Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.1. This passage is about ________.A. Italian pizzaB. Italy’s problemsC. how the Leaning Tower of Pisa got its nameD. why the writer likes Pisa2. The writer used to think Pisa ________.A. in SpainB. not very famousC. not the same as pizzaD. the same as pizza3. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is ________.A. modernB. falling downC. 600 years oldD. 60 years old-4. The writer _______.A. doesn’t like what the tower looks likeB. likes what the tower looks likeC. thinks it’s the most beautiful tower in ItalyD. doesn’t like towers5. The writer likes the Leaning Tower of Pisa because _______.A. it’s oldB. it’s perfectC. it sells pizzaD. it’s imperfect答案与解析这是关于比萨斜塔的一篇杂感;作者由儿时对比萨斜塔的曲解谈起,说到了自己对人们想要重新修正斜塔的看法;最后作者由此阐发感想：没有什么东西是十全十美的;人们不应当事事追求完美;如比萨斜塔一样,正因为它的不完美,才吸引了世界上众多人的目光;1. C;由作者所叙述的内容,可知该塔之所以被叫做斜塔是因为它是倾斜的;2. D;这层意思是作者对比萨斜塔的误解,答案在“But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza”一句中;3. C;本题属表层理解题;“The tower probably will not fall down, it is 600 years old.”是答案的出处;4. B;答案即在“And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like.”中;5. D;根据“Imperfect things may be more interesting.”及作者所流露出的对比萨斜塔的感情可以看出他认为缺憾也是一种美;If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, and when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed, and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories This is because they cannot read or write and when they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. As a result, they have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is being exercised the whole time.So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.1. Someone can't have a good memory if ________.A. he can't read or writeB. his parents haven't a good memoryC. he doesn't make good use of his memoryD. he doesn't use his arms or legs for some time标准答案：C2. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ________.A. they will become thinB. they will become weakC. they begin to ache all overD. you can't use them any more标准答案：B3. Which of the following statements is trueA. Your memory needs chance for practice.B. A good memory is inherited from parents.C. Your memory works in the different ways as your arms or legs.D. Don't learn to read and write if you want to have a good memory.标准答案：A4. Few people know that if someone has a poor memory it is ________.A. his own faultB. his parents' faultC. his teachers' faultD. his friends' fault标准答案：A5. The writer wants to tell us ________.A. how to read and write wellB. how to have a good memoryC. how to use our arms or legs betterD. how to learn from the people who can't read or write标准答案：BA foreigner's first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush-often under pressure. City people always appear 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 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 might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some re-turnbe 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 interaction that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be a convention in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a café or coffee house. 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 wrongA. Americans seem to be always under pressure.B. Americans attach less importance to patience.C. Ameri cans 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 thingB. a first concernC. a good businessD. an attractive gift3. Americans evaluate a business colleague ________.A. through social courtesyB. through prolonged business talksC. by establishing business relationsD. by learning about their past performance4. This passage mainly talks about ________.A. how Americans treasure their timeB. how busy Americans are every dayC. how Americans do business with foreignersD. what American way of life is like5. We can infer from the passage that the author’s tone in writing is ________.A. criticalB. ironicalC. appreciativeD. objective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;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;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;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,耐心并不是首要要考虑的;我们中的很多人被称为”短保险丝”;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;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,他们会想念因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;。

Passage 1(美国及美国人的由来)The United States covers a large part of the North American continent. Its neighbors are Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. Although the United States is a big country , it is not the largest in the world. In 2000, its population was over 222 million.When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented on the American flag by a star. All these were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 stars. In 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii.Indians were the first people of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of Indians now living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans”. Most Americans come from all over the world. Those who came first in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern of North America were mostly from England. It is for the reason that the language of the United States is English and that its culture and customs are morelike those of England than those of any other country in the world.美国占去北美大陆很大一部分土地。

答案：B
43、A public house which was recently bought by Mr. James is up for sale. He is going to sell it because it is haunted (闹鬼的). He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from the bar.
