Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): (12分)Following are opinions on the manner (举止) that people in the United States usually expect in various social situations.Men usually shake hands with each other when they meet for the first time, but shake hands with women only if the woman extends her hand first. Women do not usually shake hands with each other.After the first meeting, shaking hands is unusual. However, if someone offers his or her hand by chance, one is expected to shake it. In general, people in the United States avoid (避免) physical touch with each other, since physical touch often suggests sexual attraction or attack.Although, it has been noted, first names are used more often in the United States than elsewhere, this practice is generally accepted by the rules of etiquette(礼仪). Thus, while it is proper for the foreign student to address people of about his or her own age and status(身份) by their first name, the student would be expected to use “Mr.”, “Mrs.”, “Miss” or “Ms.” and the person’s last name in addressing to another person who is clearly older than the student. (On the other hand, the old person will probably address the student by his or her first name from the beginning.) If the other person being addressed has a title such as “Doctor” or “Dean”, the student should use that title and last name. For example, Doctor Edward Kennedy would be addressed as “Doctor Kennedy”. Any faculty (全体教员) member can be addressed as “Professor”, no matter whether he or she holds the rank (头衔) of Assistant (辅助的) Professor, Associate (副的) Professor, or full Professor. Equally acceptable are “Mr.”, “Mrs.”, etc.43. Men won’t shake hands with women until the woman ________.A. says “Yes”B. extends her hand firstC. allows toD. was once met44. According to the passage, it is not common that women shake hands ________.A. with childrenB. with the same sex (性别)C. with old peopleD. with man45. If the man you meet for the second time wants to shake hands with you, you just________.A. tell him that it s not good for men to shake hands againB. refuse his hand-shakingC. smile but then refuseD. take his hand46. If your classmate’s name is John Smith, it is better for you to call him ________ .A. JohnB. SmithC. Mr. SmithD. Mr. John Smith47.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文): (12分)When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from discipline (纪律) of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to be 50 , he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to 51 if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go 52 . And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, 53 trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of seeing himself make steady progress in his job and of building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. Old age should come with 54 and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the 55 of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their 56 growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue to fight.50.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给): (14分)Americans think that travel is good for people. Some even think it can help one of the country’s worst problem—crime. (犯罪)Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the n 57 of crimes goes up and up. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all. There are problems with drugs. (毒品) There are many young criminals (罪犯) in prison. But prison doesn’t change them--60 to 70 percent will go b 58 to crime when they come out of prison.One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a hard life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them to grow into m 59 . So Bob started “Vision Quest” (幻想探究).He takes young criminals on a long, long j 60 with horses and wagons (马车) 3,000 miles through 7 states. They are on the road for more than one year.The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already s 61 time in prison. This is their last chance.It’s hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and the girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before, b 62 they can love their horses. That love can help them to start a new life.Not all young people in Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. 30 or 40 percent will one day be in prison a 63 . But that’s a lot better than 60 or 70 percent. Bob is right. Travel can be good for them.D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题): (12分)Anna lived on the side of a valley (山谷). One winter, there was a very big flood, and a lot of houses down below Anna’s house were washed away. Anna’s house was high enough to escape the flood, so when the water had disappeared and the other houses were standing there with no roofs and walls and all covered with mud, her house was still quite all right. That year Anna’s was very lucky.Her house was quite small and there were only two small bedrooms, her husband was dead when the children were very young, and she had four children, but Anna took in one of the families that had lost everything in the flood and she shared her home with them until it was possible for them to rebuild their house.Anna’s friends were very puzzled (困惑) when they saw Anna do this. They could not understand why Anna wanted to give herself so much more work and trouble when she had already quite a lot of children to support. Life would be even harder when another family joined them.“Well,” Anna explained to her friends, “at the end of the First World War, a woman in the town where I then lived in Germany found herself very poor, because her husband had been killed in the war and she had a lot of children, as I have now.”“The day before Christmas, this woman said to her children, ‘We won’t have much for Christmas this year, so I am going to get only one gift for all of us and I am sure we will all be glad to have it. Now I’ll go and get it.’She came back with a little girl who was even poorer than they, and who had no parents. ‘Here is our gift,’ she said to her children.”“The children were very excited and happy to get such a gift. They welcomed the little girl, and she grew up as their sister, I was just that Christmas gift.”64. Where did Anna live?65. Was her house washed away in the big flood?66.
