3.Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. Drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well. Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to “push back”, just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be .If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly looking person and say, “I am a stranger here. Can you help me?” Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.1.Many people who first visit the United States will find that _______.A、 America is a highly developed countryB、 American city people seem to be always in a rushC、 the fast pace in American life often causes much troubleD、 Americans are impatient and unfriendly people2.When the author says “You will miss smile”, he means ___________.A、 you will fail to notice that Americans are pleasant and happyB、 you will be puzzled why Americans do not smile at youC、 you will feel that Americans do not seem very friendlyD、 you will find that Americans don't have much sense of humor3.In the author’s opinion, ___________.A、 it is true that life in New York is much faster than that in any other cityB、 people living outside big cities are lazy and miserableC、 most American people enjoy living in the suburbs of big citiesD、 those who are busy are not necessarily unfriendly4.The life pace in cities is much ___________ than the one outside cities.A、 fasterB、 slowerC、 happierD、 sadder5.If you say to an American that you are a stranger there, most probably he will _________.A、 offer his helpB、 stop smiling at youC、 help you find the wayD、 reply that he is pleased to meet you

    本题考查量词辫析。A、C、D把量具体化了,然而本题中并没有明确指出每天应该摄人多少水果,所以只是“比例”的意思,所以选项B是正确答案。
    本题考查动词搭配。本句意为“然而被检查的学生自带的饭盒中包括甜饮料、薯条和巧克力棒”。D选项investigated意为“研究;调查”。A选项examine意为“检查”,更符合句意。所以选项A是正确答案。

    If you think American cooking means opening a package and tossing the contents into the microwave, think again. On the one hand, it's true that Americans thrive on cold cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant dinners. From busy homemakers to professional people, many Americans enjoy the convenience of prepackaged meals that can be ready to serve in 10 minutes or less. On the other hand, many Americans recognize the value of cooking skills. Most Americans will admit that there's nothing better than a good home-cooked meal.

    细节题。在介绍封闭性监狱时,录音提到“Most of them are paid for what they do.”,由此可以判断,答案为B项。
    【录音原文】
      In Britain, if you are found guilty of a crime, you can be sent to prison or be fined or be ordered to do community work such as tidying public places and helping the old. You may also be sent to special centers when you learn special skills like cooking, writing and car maintenance. About 5 percent of the present prisoners are women. Many prisons were built over one hundred years ago. But the government will have built 11 new prisons by next year. There are two sorts of prisons: the open sort and the closed sort. In the closed sort, prisoners are given very little freedom. They spend three to ten hours outside their cells when they exercise, eat, study, learn skills, watch TV and talk to other prisoners. All prisoners are expected to work. Most of them are paid for what they do, whether it is doing maintenance or cooking and cleaning. Prisoners in open prisons are locked up at night, but for the rest of the time, they are free within the prison grounds. They can exercise, have visitors, or study. And some are allowed out of the ground to study or to do community work.
    Questions 1 to 3 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
    1. What do we know about women prisoners in Britain?
    2. In what way are open prisons different from closed prisons?
    3. What do we learn about prisoners in Britain?

    Directions: some people prefer work or activities that mainly involve working with people. Others choose work or activities that mainly involve working with objects or machines. Compare these types of activities. Which of them do you prefer? Give reasons to support your answer. Your composition should be no less than about 160 words.

    正确答案:
    Some people prefer work or activities that mainly involve working with objects or machines. They hold the opinion that this can make their work more accurate. However, I prefer to work with people. I have the following reasons to support my point of view.
    First, working with people can promote the work efficiency. As we know, human beings are social animals. We need a community to live in, and to work with people is not a bad choice. For example, when I encounter a problem, I can consult my co-workers for advice. As the saying goes, three minds are greater than one. What’s more, we can cooperate with each other and the power of brain-storm can solve any difficulty. In this way, the team spirit is raised and the work efficiency is promoted.
    Second, working with people brings about competition. Rivalry is a very effective motive in improving one’s ability. It can make one energetic and full of new ideas. The co-worker is also a competitor. One can measure his own achievement compared with others. In this way, the shortcomings can be easily located.
    On the contrary, working with machines or objects can not be so productive. Though they are accurate, they can not communicate with people. To conclude, working with people can bring about fruitful results, which can make the society more harmonious.

    Questions 61-65 are based on Passage Two:

    Passage Two

    As the 21st century begins, a number of leaders in politics, education, and other professions believe that the US must adopt some new values to go along with the old traditional ones. What new values should Americans adopt? This is a very difficult question to answer. Certainly, a greater value should be placed on the conservation of natural reasources; Americans should learn to use less and waste less. But conservation has never been a strong value to Americans, who have believed that their country offered an endless,abundant supply of natural resources.

    Recently, progress has been made-more and more Americans are recycling their paper, cans,bottles,and other goods-but old wasteful habits died hard. Furthermore,the need to protect the environment may conflict with the need for jobs,as in the Northwest ,where conservationists battle lumber companies that want to cut down ancient redwood trees. A belief in the value of conservation is still compared with other American values; it can become stronger only as Americans see the need for it more clearly.

    In addition,Americans may need to place a strong value on cooperation on a national scale to achieve important national objectives. The American idea of the national good has never been based on national cooperation but rather on the freedom of the individual, maintaining those conditions that provide the greatest freedom and prosperity for the individual .

    It is far more difficult for Americans to accept shared sacrifice for the common good and wellbeing of the entire country. For example ,although the majority of Americans believe that it is extremely important to balance the national budget and reduce the deficit, they do not want to see cuts in government programs that benefit them personaliy.

    The American value of competition also hinders the development of a spirit of national cooperation. Competition sometimes encourages feelings of suspicion rather than the mutual trust that is necessary for successful national cooperation. Although Americans often cooperate successfully on the local level-in neighborhood groups and churches, for example, on the national level, they may see themselves as part of an interest group that is competing with other interest groups for government funds. A request by the national government for shared sacrifice may be seen as coercive and destructive rather than voluntary and constructive. However, the demands for the 21st century may compel Americans to place a greater value on national cooperation to solve problems that affect them all, directly and indirectly.

    The best TITLE of this passage could be ( ).

    A. Which is Better, New Value or Old Value?

    As recently as three decades ago,many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and?dangerous way to pay for what they bought.Some even thought that owing money to a store or a?credit company was something to be ashamed of.Good citizens,they believed,always bought what?they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately.
    Today,however,all that has changed.Credit,as some observers have noted,has become a?way of life in the United States.More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces?of plastic,credit cards,to pay for large purchases such as televisions,record players or furniture.Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant?dinner,a hotel room or an airline trip.And there are some situations in which Americans must have?credit cards.If they want the temporary use of a car,for example,they first must give the car rental?company the number of their credit card.That number is considered a guarantee that they will return?the car and pay for using it.
    Credit cards offer two major services to Americans.First of all,they are easier and safer to?carry than large amounts of money.Second,they permit people to borrow,to have the immediate?pleasure of owning something,even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time.With?credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them.And when the time does come to pay,most credit cards offer people a choice.They can pay all of?what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of what they owe.

    What advantage can credit card holders have?

    A.They can choose not to pay for their purchases.

On the other hand, many Americans recognize the value of cooking skills. Most Americans will admit that there's nothing better than a good home-cooked meal.  Probably every cook has his or her own cooking style. But there are some basic techniques and principles that most people follow. For example, baking is a primary method of preparing food in America. The dinner menu often has roast meats and other baked goods. For that reason, Americans would find it next to impossible to live without an oven. American cooks give special attention to the balance of foods, too. In planning a big meal they try to include a meat, a few vegetables, some bread or pasta and often a dessert. They also like to make sure the meal is colorful. Having several different colors of food on the plate usually makes for a healthy meal.
