I. 选择题A
Social customs and ways of behaving（行为） change.Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable(可接受的).Just a few years ago,it was considered impolite behavior(行为)for a man to smoke in the street.No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room. Customs also differ from country to country.Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? What about table manners? Should you use both hands while you are eating? Should you leave one in your lap(膝部),or on the table? The Americans and British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs.For example,in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time.Also,most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman,and so will most Americans.Promptness(准时)is important both in England and America—That is if a dinner invitation is for seven o'clock,the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay（迟）. The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-especially if they are your guests.There is an old story about a man who gave a very formal(正式)dinner party.When the food was served,one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife.The other guests were amused or shocked,but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating the same way.It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable. 31.Can social customs and behavior change? A.Yes,they can. B.No,they can't. C.Surely! they can't. D.Sorry! I don't know. 32.It was considered impolite _________a few years ago. A.to eat with both hands B.to leave a hand when eating C.to smoke in the room D.to smoke in the street 33.It is impolite _________in both America and England. A.for people to shake hands when they meet each other for the first time B.for a man to open a door for a woman C.for a person to be late for a friend's engagement D.for a man to offer his seat to a woman 34.If your guest has bad table manners at your dinner party,you should_________. A.tell him not to do so B.do as he did C.not do the same thing D.be amused or shocked 35.Which behavior of the following is impolite? A.To eat your peas with a knife. B.To call up your friend to explain your delay. C.To eat chicken with both hands. D.To get to your friend's party on time.B
Eating Habits
Isn't it astonishing how much time we spend talking about food?“Have you ever eaten?”“What did you have for lunch?”and so on.And yet when you travel from one country to another,you will find that people have quite different feelings about food.People often feel that what they eat is normal(正常)and that what other people eat is strange or silly.In most parts of Asia,for example,no meal is complete without rice.In England,people eat potatoes every day.In the Middle East,bread is the main part of every meal.Eating like so many things we do,becomes a habit which is difficult to change.Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee.The English drink tea four or five times every day.Australians drink a great deal of beer,and the French drink wine every day. The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another.Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France.In Hong Kong,some people enjoy eating snakes.New Zealander eat sheep,but they never eat goat meat.The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat because of its smell,but they enjoy eating raw fish(生鱼). So it seems that although eating is a topic we can talk about for hours,there is very little common sense in what we say about it.People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten,and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits. 36.Which of the following is true according to the article? A.All people have the same feeling about food. B.In most parts of Asia,people usually have rice for meals. C.People often consider other people to be strange or silly. D.The topic people spend time talking about is bread and meat. 37.Japanese people like to eat raw fish because they think it__________. A.cheap B.normal C.interesting D.delicious 38.People in different countries__________. A.drink the same sort of wine B.have the same eating habit C.eat different kinds of meat D.have the same tea at different time with in a day 39.The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat__________. A.because they dislike its smell B.because it is too expensive C.because it is easy to go bad D.because they think it will do harm to their health 40.English people drink tea four or five times a day__________. A.because they get thirsty easily B.because there is plenty of tea in Britain C.because of their drinking habit D.because they have enough time to do soC
In 1920, after some thirty-nine years of problems with disease, high costs and politics, the Panama Canal（运河） was officially opened, finally linking（连接） the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by allowing ships to pass through the fifty-mile canal area instead of travelling some seven thousand miles around Cape Horn . It takes a ship about eight hours to complete the trip through the canal and costs an average of fifteen thousand dollars, one-tenth of what it would cost an average ship to round the Horn. More than fifteen thousand ships pass through its locks（有船闸的河道） each year. It was the French who started digging the canal but they sold their rights to the United States of America, which will control it until the end of the 20th century when the Panama government takes over its duties. 41.

Confucius（孔子） was born five hundred and fifty years before Christ. Unlike Jesus Christ, he did not bring words of God to the people. He was a clever teacher and a philosopher, looking for truth and wisdom. Most of his teaching was about life in this world. Confucius was very keen（强烈） to give people good rulers. Someone asked him, "What does a country need?" Confucius answered, "Enough food, a good army, and a good leader." The people then asked, "Which one is the most important?" Confucius answered, "An army is not very important. All men must die, so food is not the most important. But if the leader of the country is not good, then everything will be bad." 46. A philosopher is a person who ______. A. does not like Jesus Christ B. teaches people how to live in this world C. seeks after truth and wisdom D. is more clever than most of other people 47.

Learners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their listening ability. First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one. Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don't change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more "fashionable"（时髦）. Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easier for you to understand the English news on the radio. Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in "Special English from the V.O.A. or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook." 51. This is a piece of advice to learners of English on how to ____. A. improve their listening ability B. read fast C. write better English and read faster D. speak correctly 52.
