而后每日乘火車、汽車和公交車去上班或上學(xué)。住在倫敦郊野的一個(gè)利處就是房屋低價(jià)。在倫敦即便是沒有花園的小公寓也需要一筆不菲的租金，用相同的錢，你能夠在郊區(qū)買一個(gè)帶花園的小房屋了而后，他在農(nóng)村就能夠遠(yuǎn)離喧嘩和繁忙的工作生活。即便他不得不起得更早，花更多的時(shí)間乘火車或公交車，但他夜晚能夠睡得更好。在周末和夏季的夜晚，他能夠享受農(nóng)村清爽潔凈的空氣。假如他喜愛花園，在花園里干一些想挖土、栽種、澆水等很多園藝的活，那么當(dāng)鮮花和蔬菜生長(zhǎng)起來的時(shí)候，他就與其余分享大自然奧密的人們相同獲取獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。但是有些人對(duì)農(nóng)村其實(shí)不感興趣。對(duì)他們來說，幸福就在市里里，那邊有電影院、劇院、美麗的商鋪、繁忙的街道、舞廳和飯館。假如不得不住在倫敦郊野的話，這些人就感覺生活沒意義了?！矊?duì)于那些熱愛都市生活的人來說〕他們所需要的農(nóng)村生活，就是有時(shí)去公園散步，每個(gè)夏季去海邊過上兩個(gè)禮拜，其余跟農(nóng)村相關(guān)的東西，讓那些每日夜晚都急于走開倫敦的人們〔住在郊野的人們〕去享受吧。【答案與分析】本文介紹在倫敦工作的人對(duì)是在市里居住仍是在鄉(xiāng)間居住處持的不一樣見解和態(tài)度。B。推測(cè)題。依據(jù)文章內(nèi)容：固然有好多喜愛農(nóng)村生活，但文章最后講也有些人喜愛城市生活，進(jìn)而可推知本題答案為B。2.C。細(xì)節(jié)題。依據(jù)文章第2段第二、三句可推知本題答案為C。B。推測(cè)題。依據(jù)文章第3段最后兩句可知：假如他喜愛花園，在花園里挖土、栽種、澆水等等，那么當(dāng)鮮花和蔬菜生長(zhǎng)起來的時(shí)候，他就獲取了與大自然分享奧密的獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)，所以選B。4.A。推測(cè)題。依據(jù)文章最后一段第

2句Suchpeoplewouldfeel

that

可推知本題答案為

A。C。推測(cè)題。依據(jù)其上文：這些人有時(shí)去公園散漫步后去海邊度兩周假；本句接著說：其余的就留給那些每日夜晚喜愛走開倫敦的人，那么，“其余的〞明顯指“其余的農(nóng)村〞。進(jìn)而可推知題答案為C。Passage2Bydefinition,heroesandheroinesaremenandwomendistinguishedbyuncommoncourage,achievements,andself-sacrificemademostforthebenefitsofothers-theyarepeopleagainstwhomwemeasureothers.Theyaremenandwomenrecognizedforshapingournation’sconsciousnessanddevelopmentaswellasthelivesofthosewhoadmirethem.Yet,somepeoplesaythatoursisanagewheretrueheroesandheroinesarehardtocomeby,wheretheveryideaofheroismissomethingbeyondus-anartifactofthepast.Somemaintain,thatbecausetheColdWarisoverandbecauseAmericaisatpeace,ourageisessentiallyanunheroicone.Furthermore,theoverallcrimerateisdown,povertyhasbeeneasedbyastrongandgrowingeconomy,andadvancescontinuetobemadeinmedicalscience.Culturaliconsarehardtodefine,butweknowthemwhenweseethem.Theyarepeoplewhomanagetogobeyondcelebrity,whoarelegendary,whosomehowmanagetobecomemythic,.ButwhatmakessomefiguresiconsandothersmerecelebritiesThat’shardtoanswer.Inpart,theirliveshavethequalityofastorytotell.Forinstance,thebeautifulyoungDianaSpencerwhoat19marriedaprince,renouncedmarriageandthethrone,anddiedatthemomentshefoundtruelove.Goodlookscertainlyhelp.Sodoesaspecialindefinablecharm,withthehelpofthemedia.Butnothingconfirmsaniconmorethanatragicdeath—suchasMartinLutherKing,Jr.,JohnF.Kennedy,andPrincessDiana.1.Thepassagemainlydealswith________.A.lifeanddeathB.heroesandheroinesC.heroesandiconsD.iconsandcelebrities2.Heroesandheroinesareusually________.A.courageousB.goodexamplestofollowC.self-sacrificingD.alloftheaboveWhichofthefollowingstatementsiswrongPovertyinAmericahasbeeneasedwiththeeconomicgrowthSuperstarsarefamousforbeingfamousOne’slookcancontributetobeingfamousHeroesandheroinescanonlyemergeinwartimesBeautifulyoungDianaSpencerfoundhergenuinelove________.A.whenshewas19B.whenshebecameaprincessC.justbeforeherdeathD.aftershegavebirthtoaprince5.Whatismorelikelytosetanicon’sstatusA.Goodlooks.B.Tragicandearlydeath.C.Personalattraction.D.Thequalityofone’sstory.就定義而言，英豪之所以獨(dú)出心裁是因?yàn)樗麄冇蟹欠驳挠職?、獲得了卓著的成就、經(jīng)常為他人的利益而做出犧牲——他們是我們?cè)u(píng)論他人的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。他們是大家公認(rèn)的對(duì)我們國(guó)家意識(shí)的形成和我們國(guó)家的展開，還有對(duì)他們的崇敬者的一世起了重要作用的人。但是，有人說，我們的時(shí)代是很難出現(xiàn)真實(shí)英豪的時(shí)代，英豪主義這一看法自己我們就難以理解——它已經(jīng)成為歷史。有些人堅(jiān)持說，因?yàn)槔鋺?zhàn)的結(jié)束和美國(guó)對(duì)外的友善，我們的時(shí)代實(shí)質(zhì)上不是一個(gè)勇敢豪壯的時(shí)代。更進(jìn)一步地說，整體犯法率正在降低，經(jīng)濟(jì)的展開與增加已經(jīng)緩解了貧窮，醫(yī)療科學(xué)也在不斷的進(jìn)步。給文化偶像下定義就更難了，但是我們看到他們就認(rèn)識(shí)了他們。他們超越了紳士，成為傳奇式人物，甚至在某種程度上已經(jīng)是神話式的人物。但終究是哪些要素使有些人成為偶像，另一些人僅成了紳士呢這就太難說了。局部原由是他們的平生帶有傳奇故事的色彩。比方說，年青貌美的戴安娜·史賓塞，19歲時(shí)嫁給了王子，放棄了婚姻與王權(quán)，卻在找到真愛的那一刻逝世了。美麗的長(zhǎng)相自然實(shí)用，此外，在媒體的炒作下某種難以描繪的、特別的個(gè)人魅力也起作用。但是慘劇性地過早走開這個(gè)世界，倒是造成偶像最重要的要素——比如：小馬丁·路德·金、約翰·F·肯尼迪和戴安娜。Passage3Shynessisthecauseofmuchunhappinessforagreatmanypeople.Shypeopleareanxiousandself-conscious;thatis,theyareexcessivelyconcernedwiththeirwonappearanceandactions.Worrisomethoughtsareconstantlyoccurringintheirminds:whatkindofimpressionamImakingDotheylikemeDoIsoundstupidAmIwearingunattractiveclothesItisobviousthatsuchuncomfortablefeelingsmustnegativelyaffectpeople.Aperson’sconceptionofhimselforherselfisreflectedinthewayheorshebehaves,andthewayapersonbehavesaffectsotherpeople’sreactions.Ingeneral,thewaypeoplethinkaboutthemselveshasaprofoundeffectonallareasoftheirlives.’Shypeople,havinglowself-esteem,arelikelytobepassiveandeasilyinfluencedbyothers.Theyneedreassurancethattheyaredoing“therightthing.〞Shypeopleareverysensitivetocriticism;theyfeelitconfirmstheirfeelingsofinferiority.Theyalsofinditdifficulttobepleasedbycomplimentwithastatementlikethisone,“You’rejustsayingthattomakemefeelgood.Iknowit’snottrue.〞Itisclearthatwhileself-awarenessisahealthyquality,overdoingitisharmful.Canshynessbecompletelyeliminated,oratleastreducedFortunately,peoplecanovercomeshynesswithdeterminedandpatienteffortsinbuildingself-confidence.Sinceshynessgoeshandinhandwithalackofself-esteem,itisimportantforpeopletoaccepttheirweaknessesaswellastheirstrengths.Eachoneofusisaunique,worthwhileindividual,interestedinourownpersonalways.Thebetterweunderstandourselves,theeasieritbecomestoliveuptoourfullpotential.Let’snotallowshynesstoblockourchancesforarichandfulfillinglife.1.Whatdoestheauthortrytoprovebyciting“whatkindofimpressionamImaking〞A.Shypeoplebenefitfromtheircaringabouttheirappearance.B.People’sshynessmadethemcaretoomuchabouttheirappearanceandactions.C.It’snaturalthatshypeopledon’tbelieveother’scompliments.D.Shypeoplethinktheyaredifferentfromothers.2.Accordingtothewriter,self-awarenessis________.A.agoodqualityB.thecauseofunhappinessC.harmfultopeopleD.aweakpointofshypeople3.Whenbeingpraised,shypeoplefeelthatitis________.A.goodB.unrealC.veryreasonableD.harmfulWhichofthefollowingstatementsistrueaccordingtothepassageShynesshelpsustodevelopourpotentialShynessenablesustounderstandourselvesbetterShynesscanblockourchancesforarichlifeShynesshasnothingtodowithlackofself-esteemItcanbeinferredfromthepassagethatshypeople________.shouldfindmoreoftheirw

’stoneinwritingis________.objective一個(gè)外國(guó)人對(duì)于美國(guó)的第一印象很有可能是每個(gè)人都在壓力下急忙忙忙。城市里的人總是表現(xiàn)得急忙忙忙不知疲備的，為了趕快做完一件事情，他們會(huì)在店里拼死惹起店員的注意或許用胳膊肘推搡他人。白日倉(cāng)促就餐也是這個(gè)國(guó)家生活節(jié)奏的一個(gè)局部。工作時(shí)間被以為是很寶貴的。在一些公共飲食場(chǎng)所，其余人會(huì)等在你旁邊等你吃完，這樣大家都能夠獲取效力，并趕在規(guī)定的時(shí)間內(nèi)回去工作。每個(gè)人都會(huì)趕快給下一個(gè)人騰出地方。假如你不這樣，侍從會(huì)敦促你的。你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)司機(jī)也都很倉(cāng)促，人們從你身旁急忙走過。你會(huì)錯(cuò)過一些淺笑，簡(jiǎn)潔的談話和一些與陌生人的小禮儀。不要在乎，這是因?yàn)樗麄兲貏e珍惜時(shí)間，并且他們以為一旦太著重這些交際禮儀就是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。對(duì)時(shí)間的看法還會(huì)影響到我們對(duì)耐心的理解。在美國(guó)價(jià)值系統(tǒng)中，耐心其實(shí)不是首要要考慮的。我們中的好多人被稱為〞短保險(xiǎn)絲〞。假如我們感覺時(shí)間在毫無心義的溜走，既沒有娛樂價(jià)值，工作價(jià)值，也不在歇息，那就會(huì)開始不斷地彷徨。那些來自時(shí)間看法不一樣的國(guó)家的人發(fā)現(xiàn)他們?cè)谏虡I(yè)和平時(shí)生活中最困難的就是對(duì)時(shí)間節(jié)奏的適應(yīng)。很多剛到美國(guó)來的人都會(huì)思念他們?cè)谏虡I(yè)會(huì)商中一些開場(chǎng)禮儀。舉個(gè)例子，他們會(huì)思念因歡送你到來而泡的一杯茶或咖啡這樣的交際禮儀，這在他們國(guó)家是慣例禮儀。他們會(huì)思念在咖啡屋安閑的會(huì)商。而往常，美國(guó)人不會(huì)與來訪者在這么安閑的環(huán)境中進(jìn)行一些冗長(zhǎng)的小會(huì)商。對(duì)于同事，我們老是看他過去的表現(xiàn)而不是與他的交際禮儀。因?yàn)槲覀円话愣际歉⒅貙I(yè)性的，而不是交際性的，所以我們老是很快進(jìn)入正題。Passage12IntheUnitedStates,itisnotcustomarytotelephonesomeoneveryearlyinthemorning.Ifyoutelephonehimearlyintheday,whileheisshavingorhavingbreakfast,thetimeofthecallshowsthatthematterisveryimportantandrequiresimmediateattention.Thesamemeaningisattachedtotelephonecallsmadeafter11:00.Ifsomeonereceivesacallduringsleepinghours,heassumesit’samatteroflifeordeath.Thetimechosenforthecallcommunicatesitsimportance.Insociallife,timeplaysaveryimportantpart.Inthegueststendtofeeltheyarenothighlyregardediftheinvitationtoadinnerpartyisextendedonlythreeorfourdaysbeforethepartydate.Butitisnottrueinallcountries.Inotherareasoftheworld,itmaybeconsideredfoolishtomakeanappointmenttoofarinadvancebecauseplanswhicharemadeforadatemorethanaweekawaytendtobeforgotten.Themeaningoftimediffersindifferentpartsoftheworld.Thus,misunderstandingsarisebetweenpeoplefromdifferentculturesthattreattimedifferently.PromptnessisvaluedhighlyinAmericanlife,forexample.Ifpeoplearenotprompt,theymayberegardedasimpoliteornotfullyresponsible.Inthe.noonewouldthinkofkeepingabusinessassociatewaitingforanhour,itwouldbetooimpolite.Apersonwhois5minuteslate,willsayafewwordsofexplanation,thoughperhapshewillnotcompletethesentence.(260words)1.WhatisthemainideaofthispassageA.Itisnotcustomarytotelephonesomeoneinthemorningandinsleepinghoursinthe.B.Theroleoftimeinsociallifeovertheworld.C.Ifpeoplearenotprompt,theymayberegardedasimpoliteornotfullyresponsibleinthe.D.Noteverycountrytreatstheconceptoftimeasthesame.2.WhatdoesitmeaninthepassageifyoucallsomeoneduringhisorhersleepinghoursWhichofthefollowingtimeisproperifyouwanttomakeanappointmentwithyourfriend4:00am.4.WhichofthefollowingstatementsistrueaccordingtothepassageA.Inthegueststendtofeeltheyarehighlyregardediftheinvitationtoadinnerpartyisextendedonlythreeorfourdaysbeforethepartydate.B.Thereisnomisunderstandingarisingbetweenpeoplefromdifferentculturesabouttheconceptoftime.C.ItmaybeconsideredfoolishtomakeanappointmentwellinadvanceinthePromptnessisvaluedhighlyinAmericanlife.5.Fromthepassagewecansafelyinferthat_________.A.it’samatteroflifeordeathifyoucallsomeoneindaytimeB.themeaningoftimediffersindifferentpartsoftheworldC.itmakesnodifferenceinthe.whetheryouareearlyorlatefor
