[单选题]

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 short moment.At first, this may seem unfriendly to 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 often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; 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. If you need help 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. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you help. If this happens, do not be discouraged (气馁); just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.Many people who first visit the United States will find that（）.

A.America is a highly developed country

B.Americans are impatient and unfriendly people

C.the fast pace in American life often causes much trouble

D.American city people seem to be always in a rush

第3题

Visitors from space may have landed on our planet dozens, even hundreds of times during th

e long, empty ages while Man was still a dream of the distant future. Indeed, they could have landed on 90 percent of the earth as recently as two or three hundred years ago, and we could never have heard of it. If one searches through old newspapers and local records, one can find many reports of strange incidents that could be interpreted as visits from outer space. A stimulating writer, Charles Fort, has made a collection of UFO sighting in his book! One is tempted to believe them more than any modern reports, for the simple reason that they happened long before anyone had ever thought of space travel. Yet at the same time, one can't take them too seriously, for before scientific education was widespread, even sightings of meteors, comets, auroras, and so on, gave rise to the most incredible stories, as they still do today.

According to the passage, visitors from space may have landed on the earth ______.

A．long before man had dreamed of it

B．long before there were human beings

C．in the last few hundred years

D．after the space age began

When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some way does not live up to the manufacturer's claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty, or any other records which might help at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.

A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the "higher up" the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled in such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, assuming, he or she has a just claim.

Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.

Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly and especially when the consumer can show what is wrong with the item he has bought. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example "The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear" is better than "This stereo does not work".

The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or pubic organization responsible for protecting consumers' rights.

When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to （）.

A.complain personally to the manager

B.threaten to take the matter to court

C.write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase

D.show their written proof of the purchase to the store

第6题

Though they usually have to bear it for at least the first year, most U.S. university

students end dorm life as soon as they can. Residence(住校)choices at U.S. colleges and universities are as different as the institutions themselves, but the first-year dorm experience is generally a mandatory rite(仪式)of passage. Students often complain about the space, but compared with most Chinese dorm rooms those in the U.S. are costly and satisfying. Most students spend their first year in a double room, usually with an area of somewhere between 12 and 15 square meters. A standard room includes a sink(washbasin), a telephone, a bunk-bed, two desks and two wardrobes. Rooms often come equipped with cable TV and broadband Internet access. Students usually provide other extras for themselves-they buy or rent a mini-refrigerator and bring along a carpet, a computer and audiovisual equipment. Roommates are usually chosen by chance from among all the new students at the university, so it's quite likely you won't share any classes with your roommate. It's not only the lack of space, but the many rules that make students feel they've had enough after a year. Rules on visitors of the opposite sex and alcohol are considered by many as the most bothersome(讨厌的)。 Some students put much effort into making their rooms different, especially by using paint, but this can lead to fines. Many students who leave move into an apartment or share a house with friends. This offers more freedom and sometimes even costs less than residence hall living. But a few grow fond of dorm life and stay on for another year or even longer. The most devoted go on to serve as resident assistants, the enforcers(执行者)of rules.

1.Students usually have dorm life for at least one year because ().

A.they have to

B.they like to try something new

C.they want to make new friends

D.their dorm life is quite satisfying

2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？()

A.Students can have other residence choices after their fist-year dorm life

B.It's not necessary that you share a room with your classmates

C.Maybe boys are only allowed to visit girls at fixed time

D.No one would like to go on with their dorm life after first-year dorm life experience

3.Which of the following is probably NOT the reason why students end their dorm life as soon as possible？()

A.Rooms are too small

B.Their roommates are not friendly

C.They don't like the many rules there

D.It is more expensive.

4.What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph？()

A.All students do enjoy their dorm life

B.Some students become the enforcers of rules

C.Though many students move out, there are some students who stay on

D.Students are allowed to stay on

5.What is the best title for the passage？()

A.Most U.S. Students Move Our of the Dorm

B.U.S. University Students Today

C.University Life in the U.S.

D.The U.S. University Students Need More Freedom

For Americans, time is a "resource" that, like water or coal, can be used well or poorl

For Americans, time is a "resource" that, like water or coal, can be used well or poorly."Time is money," they say."You only get so much time in this life; you'd best use it wisely." The future will not be better than the past or the present unless people use their time for constructive, future-oriented activities.Thus, Americans admire a “well-organized” person, one who has a written list of things to do and a schedule for doing them.The ideal person is punctual and treasures other people's time.

The American attitude towards time is not necessarily shared by others, especially non-Europeans.They are more likely to consider time as something that is simply there around them, not something they can "use".One of the more difficult things many foreign businessmen and students must adjust to in the States is the notion that time must be saved whenever possible and used wisely every day.

In their efforts to use their time wisely, Americans are sometimes seen by foreign visitors as automatons, unhuman creatures who are so tied to their clocks and their schedules that they cannot participate in or enjoy the human interactions that are the truly important things in life."They are like little machines running around," one foreign visitor said.

The emphasis Americans place on efficiency is closely related to their concepts of the future, change and time.To do something efficiently is to do it in the way that is quickest and requires the smallest investment of resources.American businesses sometimes hire "efficiency experts" to review their operations and suggest ways in which they could accomplish more than they are currently accomplishing with the resources they are investing.Popular periodicals carry suggestions for more efficient ways to clean house, raise children, tend the yard, and so on.

In this context the "fast-food industry" can be seen as a clear example of an American cultural product.McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, and other fast-food establishments prosper in a country where many people want to minimize the amount of time they spend preparing and eating meals.The millions of Americans who take their meals at fast-food restaurants cannot have much interest in lingering over their food while conversing with friends, as millions of Europeans do.As McDonald's restaurants have spread around the world, they have been viewed as symbols of American society and culture, bringing not just hamburgers but an emphasis on speed, efficiency, and shiny cleanliness.The typical American food, some observers argue, is fast food.

1.If a person treasures other people's time, he （）.

A.does not waste people's time with conversation or activity that has no beneficial outcome

B.does not believe the future will be any better than the present or the past

C.likes to deep a written schedule of the daily activities with him

D.likes to have his meals at the fast-food restaurants to save time

2.In the eyes of the foreign visitors in the States, American people（）.

A.think that time is always there which needs budgeting

B.enjoy saving and using time wisely everyday

C.are indifferent in that they are like feelingless machines

D.are so fully engaged that they are unable to enjoy the important things in life

3.What is the job of an efficiency expert？

A.Writing articles for periodicals.

B.Recommending ways of efficient investment

C.Examining the quality of a company's products

D.Teaching people how to take care of their yard

4.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph？

A.Many Americans love having meals at fast-food restaurants

B.Americans are busier than other people in the world

C.The American fast-food industry helps spread the American culture around the world

D.The United States is the father of the world's fast-food industry

5.The best title for this passage is（）.

A.The American Concept of Time

B.The Development of the American Fast Food Industry

C.How to Raise Efficiency

D.The American Food and Culture

第9题

A rapid means of long-distance transportation became a necessity for the United States as

settlement(新拓居地) spread over farther westward. The early trains were impractical curiosities, and for a long time the railroad companies met with troublesome mechanical problems. The most serious ones were the construction of rails able to bear the toad, and the development of a safe, effective stopping system. Once these were solved, the railroad was established as the best means of land transportation. By 1860 there' were thousands of. miles of railroads crossing the eastern mountain ranges and reaching westward to the Mississippi. There were also regional southern and western lines.

The high point in railroad building came with the construction of the first transcontinental sys tem. In 1862 congress authorized two western railroad companies to build lines from Nebraska west ward and from California eastward to a meeting point, so as to complete a transcontinental crossing linking the Atlantic seaboard with the Pacific. The Government helped the railroads generously with money and land. Actual work on this project began four years later. The Central Pacific Company, starting from California, used Chinese labor, while the Union Pacific employed crews of Irish labourers. The two groups worked at remarkable speed, each trying to cover a greater distance than the other. In 1869 they met at a place called Promontory in what is now the state of Utah. Many visitors came there for the great occasion. There were joyous celebrations all over the country, with parades and the ringing of church bells to honour the great achievement.

The railroad was very important in encouraging westward movement. It also helped build up industry and farming by moving raw materials and by distributing products rapidly to distant markets. In linking towns and people to one another it helped unify the United States.

The major problems with America' s railroad system in the mid-19th century lay in ______.

A．poor quality rails and unreliable stopping systems

B．lack of financial support for development

C．limited railroad lines

D．lack of a transcontinental railroad

A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers. "Last week," s

aid he, "my umbrella was stolen from a London Church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn't get it back."

"How did you write your advertisement？" asked one of the listeners, a merchant.

"Here it is," said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read, "Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street."

"Now," said the merchant, "I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of great importance. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I'll buy you a new one." The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: "If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn't wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well known." This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in, and his own was among the number. Many of them had notes, fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.

What is an advertisement？

A．A news item.

B．A public announcement in the press, on TV, etc.

C．One way to voice one's view.

D．Public opinions.
