In many cities in the United States, for instance, it is not legal to “jaywalk.” This law may seem strange to visitors. Sometimes they cross a street, and a police officer gives them a ticket. Then they need to pay a fine of $10 to $25. They soon learn to cross a street only in a crosswalk or at a corner. It’s against the law to cross in the middle of the street.
Most people know that states in the United States have different laws about the legal drinking age; this age varies, but in most states no one under twenty-one can buy alcohol, even beer or wine. Also, in most U.S. cities, it is illegal to drink alcohol in public. Of course, liquor is legal in restaurants and bars, but it’s against the law to drink a can of beer, for instance, on a public street. Some people put the can in a paper bag and drink; nobody can see the beer, but it still isn’t legal. In addition, it is illegal to have an open liquor bottle inside a car.
小题1: We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ______.
| A．it is legal to steal money in some countries |
| B．Peru and Korea have completely different laws |
| C．there may be different local laws in a country |
| D．an Asian city and a European city can’t have the same law |
| A．to talk with others while crossing a street |
| B．to have a drink while crossing a street |
| C．to cross in the middle of the street |
| D．to cross a street at a corner |
| A．Selling a can of beer to teenagers. |
| B．Having a bottle of wine in a Chinese restaurant. |
| C．Having an open bottle of beer inside a car. |
| D．Drinking a can of beer in a street without being seen. |

Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere
in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration（登记）card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.
With so many loopholes （漏洞） in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.
小题1: The underlined words in this passage means to “______”.
| A．be ready to help others | B．make good use of one’s friends |
| C．be a little ahead of others | D．gain something at other’s expense |
| A．While taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off without first paying your fare. |
| B．In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if you’re living in the hotel. |
| C．The bosses in Finland pay the employees according to registration of their working hours. |
| D．The workers are always honest with their working hours. |
| A．the Finnish society is of very high moral （道德） level |
| B．there are many loopholes in everyday life in Finland |
| C．in Finland, most taxi drivers will not charge you anything |
| D．everyone in Finland is like a gentleman, for they have faith in themselves |
| A．Life in Finland | B．A Society with “Foolish” People |
| C．What a Life | D．Honest accounts of the Finns |
After all, squeezing past others sometimes can"t be avoided．and the bus driver is merely doing his job．I used lo think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways of communicating with people．
People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time．When people buy something in a shop, customer and retail assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more．In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation．British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room．English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs as opposed to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough．
Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others．Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me．my employers stressed several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism．It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable．This also is shown in other ways．British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men．However, 1 do need to point out here
that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men" Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted．小题1:What is the author"s attitude towards English politeness?
| A．He appreciates it | B．He gives no personal opinion |
| C．He thinks it is artificial | D．He thinks it goes too far． |
| A．It"s always a retail assistant who says thank you． |
| B．A customer never says thank you to a retail assistant． |
| C．They always say thank you to each other． |
D．They may say thank you only once． |
| A．are more likely to be involved in a fighting． |
| B．are not so willing to spend money for women． |
| C．are more polite than English men. |
| D．treat women in a polite way. |
| A．giving comments | B．telling stories |
| C．making comparisons | D．giving reasons |
A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. It is even more important now that the United States is seriously taking it up. Winning the World Cup is perhaps eh greatest of international sporting success. Mention “ Argentina ” to someone and the chances are that he’ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup “ put Argentina on the map ”.
Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won the World Cup. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.
So am I arguing that international competitions kill the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is better than all others? Not really. But it’s nice to know that you won, and that in one way at least your country is best.
小题1:What is mainly discussed in this passage is _________.
| A．why international sport is necessary |
| B．what international sport is like |
| C．how international sport goes on |
| D．what disadvantages international sport has |
| A．sport should not be so popular | B．sport should not be competitive |
| C．sport should be for personal purpose | D．sport should be made easier |
| A．against reasonable behavior | B．having much knowledge |
| C．unable to understand | D．eager to know |
he map”_____| A．Argentina has the best football player |
| B．Argentina has become world-famous for football |
| C．Football is very popular in Argentina |
| D．Argentina has begun to pay much attention to football |
But now opera companies around the country are loosening their ties and kicking off their shoes in an attempt to keep opera alive and take it to a younger and not so wealthy audience.
Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd, they need to make the opera closer to common people. Because young people don"t or won"t come to the opera, companies are bringing the opera to them, giving performances in such unusual places as parks, libraries and public schools.
The Houston Grand Opera"s choice is the public library, where it performs “mobile operas” shortened versions(剧本) of child-friendly operas. This summer"s production is Hansel ＆ Gretel. By performing smaller versions of large productions, producers are able to make people interested while keeping costs at a reasonable level. The San Francisco Opera, which will be celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, is staging Cinderella free of charge, keeping costs down by employing students from its Young Artists" Training Program.
小题1: Which is the main idea of this passage？
| A． Opera is famous for its long history. |
| B． Opera is only performed for rich people. |
| C． Opera companies are trying to keep opera alive. |
| D． Young people are not interested in opera. |
| A． breaking up the old rules | B． changing the dresses |
| C． making the audience at ease | D．advertising themselves |
| A． they can be performed in public libraries |
| B． short versions are easy to perform |
| C． it is hard to find long versions |
| D． they can make more people come to opera |
| A． celebrate its 75th anniversary | B． reduce the cost |
| C． attract young people | D． make Cinderella popular |
Pub culture is designed to promote sociability (社交) in a society known for its reserve. Standing at the bar for service allows you to chat with others waiting to be served. The bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which friendly conversation with strangers is considered entirely suitable and really quite normal behavior. “If you haven"t been to a pub, you haven"t been to Britain.” This tip can be found in a booklet, Passport to the Pub: The Tourists" Guide to Pub Etiquette, a customers" rule of conduct for those wanting to sample “a central part of British life and culture”．
The trouble is that if you do not follow the local rules, the experience may fall flat. For example, if you are in a big group, it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinks. Nothing annoys the regular customers and bar staff more than a group of strangers blocking all access to the bar while they chat and hesitate about what to order.
小题1: The underlined word “sample” in the first paragraph probably means “________”．
| A．taste | B．experience | C．test | D．record ． |
| A．encourage people to communicate with each other |
| B．encourage more people to consume drinks |
| C．attract more tourists to the pubs |
| D．form its own character of culture |
| A．you won"t buy good local drinks |
| B．you may annoy the regular customers and bar staff |
| C．you may fail to feel the local culture |
| D．you might get into a dangerous place |
| A．Self-service Pubs in Britain | B．British Local Pubs: Special Chat Places |
| C．Local Pub Culture in Britain | D．Manners in British Local Pubs |
