阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。(请将答案写在答题卡上相应番号后的横线上) (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
When you take a taxi in the United States, if you sit in the front seat, the driver will be pleased and talk with you all the way. If you sit in the back seat, however, the driver may be unhappy and unwilling to speak.
At first, I thought that this had something to do with different characters (性格) of the drivers. Later, after I’d had more experiences with taxis, I found that it happened very often. Only when I arrived in San Francisco did I ____________.
I went to see Sonia in San Francisco. One day, Sonia drove the car while her husband, Ji An, sat beside her, and I sat behind Ji An. Later, Ji An got out of the car and suggested that I sit where he had been sitting. It’s not a long way, so I told him that it didn’t matter, but Ji An insisted. I had to move, feeling a little strange.
“Do you know why Ji An asked you to sit here?” Sonia asked me. I shook my head. “If you sit in the front, it means that you and I are friends. If you sit in the back, it seems that I’m just your driver and our relationship is of employer and employee.”
With those words, I understood at once why taxi drivers were so pleased when people sat in the front. On the face of it, the only issue was where one sat. As a matter of fact, where to sit also reflected (反映) the degree of one’s respect for the driver.
Although it is true that the relationship between driver and passenger is a business relationship, people still place an emphasis (强调) on respect and friendship beyond any monetary (金钱的) relationship.

答案
小题1:Where Should I Sit / Front Seat or Back Seat?
小题2:At face value, the only issue was where one sat.
小题3:did I find out
小题4:(One possible version)Sitting in the front means friendship, while sitting in the back means relationship between employer and employee. 
小题5:虽然司机和乘客是雇佣关系,但是人们仍然重视金钱关系以外的尊重和友谊。
解析

小题1:文章主要通过讨论坐车时的位置,看出美国的一种文化,文章就是围绕做位置来讨论,所以标题是:Where Should I Sit / Front Seat or Back Seat?是问句更能吸引读者的兴趣。
小题2:It seemed that the problem was no more than the seat.意思是:好像问题不仅仅是位置问题。和文章里的:At face value, the only issue was where one sat.表面看,唯一的问题是坐在哪里的问题,两句话是一致的。
小题3:上面说了:I found that it happened very often. 我发现这是经常发生的。说明下面想说:Only when I arrived in San Francisco did find out it happened very often。只有当我到达San Francisco我才发现它经常发生。
小题4:从第四段的句子:“If you sit in the front, it means that you and I are friends. If you sit in the back, it seems that I’m just your driver and our relationship is of employer and employee.”可以归纳出答案来Sitting in the front means friendship, while sitting in the back means relationship between employer and employee. 
小题5:按照文章的字面意思可理解为:虽然司机和乘客是雇佣关系,但是人们仍然重视金钱关系以外的尊重和友谊。

注意:每个空格只填1个单词
The health dangers of smoking have been well reported. For years, doctors have warned that smoking can cause lung cancer. Studies also have linked smoking to several other kinds of cancer, heart attacks and other diseases, lung diseases, and a number of other medical problems. The repeated health warnings have had an effect. Thousands of people have stopped smoking. But as many people have learned, stopping smoking can be very difficult.
A major problem apparently is the nicotine, a poisonous substance found in tobacco. Small amounts of nicotine are released as tobacco is burned. And over many years of smoking, a person’s body becomes dependenton the substance. A try to stop smoking brings the problems of nicotine withdrawal(脱瘾过程).
American medical researchers have found that nicotine withdrawal causes people to become angry very easily, aggressive, worried and unable to think sharply. Many people who have tried to stop smoking would confirm those findings.
To help people give up smoking, some tobacco companies have proposed chewing tobacco, or using snuff as safe substitutes(替代物). Snuff is a tobacco powder that usually is breathed in. But many people put it between their gum and cheek.
A group of British scientists said recently that many lives could be saved by a major program to get cigarette smokers to change to snuff. An American scientist, Allan Blum, disagreed. Dr. Blum argued that snuff, put in the mouth, can cause gum disease, teeth problems and throat problems that lead to cancer. Dr. Blum also warned against chewing tobacco as a substitute for smoking. He said chewing tobacco can lead to cancer of the mouth, throat or digestive system.
Medical researchers say another possible substitute for smoking is a special nicotine chewing gum. The gum is already sold in Europe and Canada. A report says research shows that the chewing gum will increase the amount of nicotine in a person’s blood. This helps satisfy some people’s desire for a cigarette. However, the report says, the chewing gum also leads to some unpleasant side effects. And it may be dangerous for people with heart problems.
Two other American scientists say they have found that the most effective way to stop smoking is to do it completely, suddenly, all at once. The report by Saul Shirtman and Dr. Murray Jogbett says that by stopping all at once, the worst problems of nicotine withdrawal are over in just a few days. But, they say, by continuing to smoke, even a little less each day, the problems of withdrawal never end completely.

The sea has always interested man. From it he can get food, minerals, and treasure.    1   But he could not go far beneath its surface.
    2   However, he is not a fish. He must breathe air, so he can’t stay under the water’s surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems.
  A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases.   3   He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a nose and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea.   4  
When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises to surface, the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form bubbles(气泡). The diver is then suffering from the bends(潜水夫病). The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain.    5  
A.His body is under great pressure.
B.Scientists are trying to find more about the sea.
C.For thousands of years, he could sail on it.
