  • 第1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 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 country

    B、 American city people seem to be always in a rush

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

    B、 you will be puzzled why Americans do not smile at you

    C、 you will feel that Americans do not seem very friendly

    D、 you will find that Americans don't have much sense of humor

    3.In the author’s opinion, ___________.

    A、 it is true that life in New York is much faster than that in any other city

    第三篇

    "Clean your plate!"and"Be a member of the clean-plate club!"Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often,it's accompanied by an appeal:"Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!"Sure,we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately,many people in the US take too many bites.Instead of staying"clean the plate",perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.
    According to news reports,US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies.A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer,with two to four times the amount recommended by the government,according to a USA Today story.Americans traditionally associate quantity with, value and most restaurants try to give them that.They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.
    Barbara Rolls,a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University,told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s,the same time that the American waistline began to expand.
    Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions.Now,apparently, some customers are calling for this too.The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large;23 percent had no opinion;20 percent disagreed.But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions.Seventy percent of those earning at least ¥150,000 per year prefer smaller portions;but only 45 percent of those earning less than ¥25,000 want smaller.
    It's not that working class Americans don't want to eat healthy.It's just that,after long hours at lowpaying jobs,getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal.They live from paycheck to paycheck,happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents.

    What does the survey indicate?
    A:Many poor Americans want large portions.
    B:Twenty percent Americans want smaller portions.
    C:Fifty seven percent Americans earn ¥150,000 per year.
    D:Twenty three percent Americans earn less than ¥25,000 per year.

    答案:A
    解析:
    文章第一段开头就讲了,美国父母会让孩子吃光盘子里的食物,不要浪费。因此只有选项C是正确的。
    第二段告诉我们传统上美国人会把数量同价值联系在一起,也就是说量越大就越划算,因此饭店给顾客的饭菜量大。饭店宁愿让顾客抱怨饭菜给的过多也不愿让他们觉得饭菜过少。因此选项A是正确的。
    文章第三段提到:芭芭拉·罗尔斯教授说20世纪70年代美国饭馆给的饭量开始增加,同时美国人的腰围也粗了。因此选项D是正确的。
    文章第四段对调查的结果进行了详尽的解释,选项B、C、D的数据都不正确,只有选项A的表述是正确的。
    选项C说“他们不想做吃的健康的人”,这一表述是错误的。文章最后一段明确讲了美国工人不是不想做吃得健康的人,他们只是工作强度大,觉得饭菜量少会不划算。因此选项C。

  • 第6题:

    Passage Four
    Ideasabout polite behaviour differ from one culture to another.Some societies,such asAmerica and Australia,for example,are mobile and veryopen.People here change jobs and move house quiteoften.As a m result,they have a lot of relationships that often last only mashort time,and they need to get to know people quickly.So it′s normal to havefriendly conversations with people that they have just met,and you can talk aboutthings that other cultures would regard as personal.
    On the other hand,there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-termrelationships are more important.A Malaysian or Mexican business person,for example,willwant to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to startbusiness.But when you do get to know each other,the relationship becomes muchdeeper than it would in a mobile society.
    To Americans,both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal atfirst.On the other hand,as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it,it′s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you allabout his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don′t want to answer.
    Cross-cultural differences aren′t just a problem for travelers,but also for people in daily life.Some societies have"universalist′′cultures.These societies strongly respect rules,and they treat every personand situation in basically the same way."Particularist"(强调特性的)societies also have rules,but they are less important than thesociety′s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particularsituation or a particular person.So the normal rules are changed to fit theneeds of the situation or the importance of the person.

    What can be learned fromParagraph 1?

    A.People from a mobile society disliketalking about personal affairs.
    B.Short-term relationships are common ina mobile society.
    C.Americans tend to make more friendsthan people from other cultures.
    D.It is difficult for Americans andAustralians to?communicate with strangers.

    Living Alone Is Joyful More and more Americans are living alone.Some live alone because of divorce or the death of a partner. _______(46) According to a recent U.S.census(人口普查),25 percent of all households in the U.S.are made up of just one person.This is dramatic change from the extended families of just a couple of generations ago. The typical person living alone is neither old nor lonely.
    ______(47)The majority of these people have chosen to live alone.They are responding to decreasing social pressure to get married and have a family.
    It's now socially acceptable,even fashionable,to live alone.As people get better jobs and become financially independent,it becomes possible for them to maintain a one-person household.______(48)
    However,people who do get married are marrying at a later age and divorcing more often. The number one reason given by most people for living alone is that they simply enjoy doing what they want when they want to do it."Living alone is a luxury,"says Nina Hagiwara,33."Once you do it,you can't ever go back to living with others,"David C'Debaca,46,agrees.
    ______(49) Children think that being grown up means being able to do exactly as they please._______(50) The chance to discover whether that freedom is as wonderful as it sounds is a chance more and more Americans are taking.

    ______(49)
    A:There's more pressure to get married nowadays.
    B:The growing number of women with good jobs has done much to increase the number of people living alone.
    C:However,even more people are living alone because they have chosen to.
    D:It seems that many grown-ups today are realizing that childhood dream.
    E:In fact,a quarter of the 23 million single people in the U.S.are under the age of 35.
    F:He says,"I like being by myself."

    答案:F
    解析:
    在第一段开始,作者就提到“越来越多的美国人过着单身生活”,紧接着讲述了“一些人过着单身生活的原因是离婚或者配偶的去世”。选项中只有C项“更多的美国人过单身生活的原因是他们选择了这种生活方式”是与此相关联的。
    前面一句话说“典型的独居人群既不是老年人也不是离异者”;后面一句话说“这些人中的大部分人选择了这一生活方式”,联系上下文可知,“这些人”指的不是前面所提到的老年人或离异者,而应该是本段最后一句话中所提到的“响应减轻社会压力而不结婚和组建家庭的人”,选项中只有E项“事实上,在美国2300万个单身的人中有1/4的人不到35岁”是与此相关联的。
    前面一句话说“因为人们得到了更好的工作,经济上更加独立,所以他们才有可能维持一个人生活需要的开支”,而选项中只有B项“越来越多的女士有了好的工作,她们也使得独居人口的数量增加了”是与此相关联的。
    前面一句话提到了一个人David C ' Debaca,他说“一旦你独居了,就很难再与他人生活在一起。”说明他已经可惯了这种生活方式,而选项中只有F项“他说他喜欢自己生活”是与此相关联的。
    最后一段的第一句话说“儿童认为,长大意味着想干什么就干什么”,而选项中只有D项“似乎今天许多大人正在实现那种儿时的梦想”是与此相关联的。

    US Blacks Hard-hit by Cancer

    Death rates for cancer are falling for all Americans,but black Americans are still more likely to die of
    cancer than whites,the American Cancer Society said Monday.
    In a special report on cancer and blacks, the organization said blacks are usually diagnosed with cancer
    later than whites,and they are more likely to die of the disease.
    This could be because of unequal access to medical care,because blacks are more likely to have other
    diseases like diabetes as well,and perhaps because of differences in the biology of the cancer itself,the report added.
    "In general,African Americans have]ess likelihood of surviving five years after diagnosis than whites for
    all cancer sites and all stages of diagnosis,"the report said.
    "In describing cancer statistics for African Americans,this report recognizes that socioeconomic dispari-
    ties and unequal access to medical care may underlie many of the differences associated with race."
    The Cancer Society said blacks should be encouraged to get check-ups earlier,when cancer is more
    treatable,and it said more research was needed to see if biological differences play a role.

    Black Americans are more likely to die of cancer than_______.
    A:people in other countries
    B:white Americans
    C:all other Americans
    D:their ancestors

    答案:B
    解析:
    由文章第一段的内容可知,美国黑人的死亡率高于美国的白人。该段只是将美国黑人与美国白人的癌症死亡率进行了比较。故选B。
    前三项原因在文章第三段中都被提到了,而早期诊断是有助于降低癌症死亡率的。
    利用题干中“检测”作为线索,由文章第六段的内容可以得知,癌症越早发现越有利于治疗。
    文章第七段提到,公共政策和教育有助于消除不平等的社会差异。
    利用题干中的时间作线索,由文章的倒数第三段的内容可知,从1992年以来,美国黑人的癌症死亡率下降了。

    问答题
    Practice 5  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.  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.

    正确答案: 【参考译文】
    假如您以为美式烹饪就是打开一个料理盒,将里头的东西抛进微波炉加热,那你得改变想法了。从某一方面来说,美国人靠吃早餐的冷麦片、午餐的三明治及速食晚餐而发育健壮,这倒是真的。从忙碌的家庭主妇到上班族,许多美国人喜欢享受事先包装好的便餐所带来的便利——这些速食在10分钟或更短时间内即可上桌。但是从另一个方面来看,许多美国人都认同厨艺的价值。大多数美国人都承认没有什么能比得上一顿自家做的关食。
    大概每一位厨师都有他自己的烹饪方式,但仍有一些基本方法和原则是大多数人所遵循的。例如烘培在美国是一种主要的烹饪方法,晚餐菜单上通常有烤肉及其他烘培食物。因此,美国人会觉得没有烤箱几乎是无法生活。美国厨师们也特别留意食物营养的均衡。在准备一顿大餐时,他们会试着加进一道肉、几种蔬菜、一些面包或面食,而且通常还有一道甜点。他们还喜欢使餐点色彩亮丽,盘中不同色彩食物的搭配构成了健康饮食。

    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.

    正确答案: 假如您以为美式烹饪就是打开一个料理盒,将里头的东西抛进微波炉加热,那你得改变想法了。从某一方面来说,美国人靠吃早餐的冷麦片、午餐的三明治及速食晚餐而发育健壮,这倒是真的。从忙碌的家庭主妇到上班族,许多美国人喜欢享受事先包装好的便餐所带来的便利——这些速食在10分钟或更短时间内即可上桌。但是从另一个方面来看,许多美国人都认同厨艺的价值。大多数美国人都承认没有什么能比得上一顿自家做的美食。
