Section B Directions:In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage One Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] 11-13 Restaurants do not include a service charge in the bill, so you should tip the waiter 15% of the total bill. If service was slow or particularly bad, some Americans will tip only 10%. Likewise, if service was particularly good, it is appropriate to tip 20%. If service was so bad that you would never eat in the restaurant again, leave two cents. This is a deliberate insult, because it tells the waiter that you didn't forget to leave a tip. Tipping is only appropriate in restaurants which offer table service. You do not tip the cashier in a fast food restaurant. Taxi drivers expect to get a tip equal to 15% of the total fare. If the driver was especially helpful or got you to your destination more quickly than you expected, give a 20% tip. The waiters in a hotel expect a $1 tip for helping you with your bags. If you order room service, the tip is included in the bill. Coat checkroom attendants expect $1 per coat. Hairdressers and barbers expect a tip of 15% of the bill. Parking attendants expect a $1 tip. Federal regulations prohibit letter carriers from accepting cash gifts in any amount, or gifts worth $ 20 or more from customers. If you are in doubt, ask whether it is appropriate to tip or whether it is included in the bill. Bribery is not considered appropriate and often illegal. Attempting to bribe a policeman will certainly get you arrested. 11. What does this passage mainly talk about?
主旨大意题。本文主要探讨了在各种不同的场合给服务人员适当数目的小费的问题,所以应选择A)。

[解析] 14-16 As a foreigner in America, Sue usually couldn't figure out the slang that the Americans spoke. As a result, during the conversations she frequently felt in the dark. One day, she went to a supermarket shopping. The shop assistant, who was in charge of collecting payments, warmly greeted her, and chatted with her. By the time she finished her payment, the assistant asked, "Are you from Japan. Sue quickly cleared it up by saying, No, 1 am from Hong Kong." The assistant immediately offered his apology, and said exaggeratedly, "Sorry, I think I just put my foot in my mouth." Again Sue felt at a loss and could not figure out his meaning. Therefore she hurried home. Back home, she remained puzzled despite much thought, so she asked her husband why the shop assistant would put his foot in his mouth. Her husband couldn' t help laughing, and explained to her that, "put one's foot in one's mouth" or "put one's foot in it" is an idiom, which means "say or do something that one should not have". Now Sue realized what the assistant really meant. 14. Why did Sue feel puzzled in the supermarket?
事实细节题。根据原文,有一天苏在超市购物,超市的收银员与她闲聊,付完款后,他问苏,“你是日本来的吗?”苏赶忙说,“我来自香港。”收银员立即道歉,并说道:“Sorry, I think I just put my foot in my mouth.”。因为苏不懂得这个习语,所以她感到非常困惑。所以正确答案应该是C)。
2.
A.He was very sorry that he said something wrong.
B.He wanted to put his foot in his mouth.
C.He was disappointed that Sue was not from Japan.
D.He didn't get the payment correct.
A B C D
A
[解析] Which of the following could be inferred about the shop assistant?
[解析] 17-20 The British Museum is the biggest in the world. Inside, you feel smaller than usual. Notices tell you about a hundred different things to see: clocks which have been telling time for six hundred years, Roman money, some of the earliest books in the world, Shakespeare's own writing ... The story of the British Museum goes back three hundred years to one unusual man: Sir Hans Sloane, a doctor to King George Ⅱ. The doctor couldn't stop collecting—books, drawings, clothes, money, animals, flowers: things from all over the world. The doctor wanted everything to stay together when he died, so that people could come and look at it. The British Museum had begun. King George II gave his library, and the Museum started to grow. It has never stopped. The British Museum opened in 1759, six years after Sir Hans Sloane died. The doctor wanted people to "enter freely". But the Museum was afraid of letting everybody in. Assistants with guns stood at the doors. Only "gentle men" could visit the Museum and then they had to buy tickets. They also had to make two or three journeys to the Museum to ask for the ticket, and then they had to wait weeks or months before it came. Ladies could only come in pairs, and children were forbidden. And as the Museum was only open three days a week and only ten people could enter in an hour, there wasn't much time to see things. Visitors had to run through the rooms. But as nothing had a label, perhaps it didn't matter. 17.Who first thought of the idea of a museum?
Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage One People who begin to go deaf in adult life have different problems from those who arc born deaf. They have to learn different ways of behaving and different ways of communication—perhaps at a time when learning is not all that easy. A hearing aid is not a complete solution to the problem. The sound perceived by the deaf person through a hearing aid is distorted and appears to have more background noise than is heard by some one with normal hearing. Deafened people have to lip-read as well. Lip-reading is difficult, demands intense concentration, and an uninterrupted direct view of the speaker's face. No other activities can take place at the same time: the lip-reader has to stop eating, stop everything in order to concentrate on hearing. It is not a question of stupidity or bad temper as it sometimes appears to be—but a question of being very easy to misunderstand when the sound is distorted. Remember what it's like trying to communicate on a very bad telephone line. Frustrating, isn't it? The deaf have to face all the time. A useful way of looking at the problem is to see the deaf person as a foreigner—to treat them as if you were in a foreign country. You would speak more clearly, slowly and raise your voice slightly. And you'd use gestures to make your meaning clear, as well as have no hesitation in using pencil and paper to be absolutely certain. You can do all those things with the deaf—as well as making sure you don't obscure your mouth with your hand, a pipe or a cigarette. Another point quite often overlooked is that a hearing aid may quite efficient and useful in a quite carpeted room—but try it in the high street in the rush hour, in a noisy car, in a railway station ticket office, a cinema or a concert hall and you've got a really difficult problem to distinguish speech. So don't suggest to or encourage deaf people to go to functions which are going to make their disability appear worse—and increase their sense of failure. On the other hand, careful selection of cinemas with good sound systems is important and you should experiment to find out where the best seats are for hearing, fitting adaptors for radio and television, observing which friends are easier to understand, and making sure that people talking are well-lit and all useful and positive activities.
1. A person who loses hearing ______.
A.can hear well with tile help of a hearing aid
B.can communicate with others by lip-reading and at the same time with the help of a hearing aid
C.can only communicate with others with the help of pencil and paper
D.can communicate easily with others by lip-reading
Passage Two At high noon last October 1st, the citizens of Ecuador(厄瓜多尔) did something they'd never dreamed possible: they synchronized(同步)their watches. In doing so, they embarked on a national campaign against lateness. A special group organized this campaign. The group invited the President to join in them, but actually the President was infamously unpunctual. Anyway, the President agreed to vow to participate. His spokesman, going on television to announce this vow, arrived at the studio, needless to say, several minutes late. Such a campaign may be scorned or laughed at, because it seems not serious and even non sense, without any practical meaning, but it comes out of a basic economic fact: punctuality pays. According to one study, chronic lateness costs Ecuador $2.5 billion a year—hardly small change in a country with a gross domestic product of just twenty-four billion dollars. The fundamental challenge for a modern economy is to coordinate the actions of millions of independent people so that goods may be produced and services delivered as efficiently as possible. It's a lot easier to do this when people are where they're supposed to be when they're supposed to be there. This is especially true in light of recent innovations such as just-in-time manufacturing. Dell computer's suppliers have to be able to deliver parts to Dell's factories within ninety' minutes. Under those conditions, "I'll get to it later" won't do. In some punctual countries like Japan, pedestrians walk fast, business transactions take place quickly, and bank clocks are always accurate. In less punctual places, such as Indonesia, pedestrians amble(漫步), workers idle, and bank clocks are usually wrong. In other words, Ecuadorians are trying to revolutionize the way they live and work. Can they do it? There are obvious obstacles. Tardiness (缓慢) can be quite pleasant, especially when it's what you're accustomed to. There is also the tricky question of class. Lateness can be a way for the rich and powerful to assert themselves, to show how much more valuable their time is. In Ecuador, members of the military and the government are the most notorious offenders, and business men are far more likely to show up late than blue-collar workers are. There's no point in getting to a meeting on time if no one is going to be there. Tardiness feeds on itself, creating a vicious cycle.
1. It is implied in the first paragraph that the President of Ecuador ______.
A.agreed to go on television to announce his vow to participate
B.was well-known for his punctuality
C.had a habit of being late in his life and work
D.was trying to revolutionize the watches in his country
Passage Three One of the central diagnostic criteria for Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is a failure to develop peer relationships and clinicians examine how the child conceptualizes and demonstrates friend ship skills. Normal children' s conception of friendship changes over time and it is notable that children with autism often have an immature and unusual definition of friendship. The research literature on the concept of friendship indicates the following levels between early childhood and adolescence. The child in the first level who is approximately 3 to 6 years old recognizes that games and activities cannot happen unless there is an element of turn taking, but there is an egocentric or simple conceptualization of friendship in terms of defining a friend as someone who gives you things or someone you play with. Friendship is based on proximity and physical attributes. For the children who are in level 2, about 6 to 9 years old, there is an increasing understanding of the concepts of reciprocity and mutual rather than one-way assistance. The likes and dislikes of the other person are more likely to be considered with friendship based on how closely each friend matches their self-interest, for example, in liking similar games. There is also a new awareness of the motives, thoughts and feelings of others. The 9-year-old to 13-year-old children, who are in level 3, is more aware of other people's o pinions of them and how their words and actions affect the feelings of others. They are more careful in what they say and do because it may be hurtful to someone. Friendship can be based on shared experience or common interests and helping becomes more valued than simply playing together. There is a greater selectivity in choosing friends, a gender split and a greater durability in the relationship. There is increased value placed on personal attributes such as trust, loyalty and keeping rather than breaking promises. For the highest level of adolescence, peer group acceptance becomes more important than the o pinions of parents, there is a greater depth and breadth of self-disclosure, desire to be understood by friends and recognition that there are different types of friendship—from acquaintances to close friends with autonomous interdependence. When children with an ASD are asked what makes a good friend? Clinical experience suggests that a common response is a list almost exclusively of actions that a friend should not do, e.g. bully or tease you, which indicate that the child has experienced a disproportionate level of negative experiences in their peer relationships. They know what a friend should not do but have little idea what they should do.
1. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A.It describes the children's inability of making peer friends.
B.It describes how to develop the friendship between the child and his parents.
C.It classifies the children's concept of making friends.
D.It classifies how a child considers his friends at different periods of life.
5. According to the passage what makes a good friend?
A.Mutual trust and common interests.
B.Teasing each other and trust.
C.Playing together and similar liking.
D.Similar liking and joking with each other.
A B C D
A
推理判断题。这个问题考查的是对整篇文章的理解。从这一篇文章综合来看,最佳答案应该是A)。 [避错指导] 原文中最后一段提到了a common response is a list almost exclusively of actions that a friend should not do, e. g. bully or tease you,所以选项B)可以排除;C)项以及D)项都是可以结交朋友的某一个标准,不是最佳选择,可以排除。
Passage Four A hundred years ago, it was assumed and scientifically "proved" by economists that the laws of society made it necessary to have a vast army of poor and jobless people in order to keep the economy going. Today, hardly anybody would dare to voice this principle. It is generally accepted that nobody should be excluded from the wealth of nation, either by laws of nature or by those of society. The o pinions, which were current a hundred years ago, that the poor owed their conditions to their ignorance, lack of responsibility, are outdated. In all Western industrialized countries, a system of insurance has been introduced which guarantees everyone a minimum of existence in case of unemployment, sickness and old age. I would go one step further and argue that, even if these conditions are not present, everyone has the right to receive the means to survive, in other words, he can claim this existence minimum without having to have any "reason" I would suggest, however, that it should be limited to a definite period of time, let's say two years, so as to avoid the encouraging of an abnormal attitude which refuses any kind of social obligation. This may sound like a fantastic proposal, but so, I think, would our insurance system have sounded to people a hundred years ago. The main objection to such a scheme would be that if each person were entitled to receive minimum support, people would not work. This assumption rests on the fallacy of the inherent laziness in human nature, actually, aside from abnormally lazy people, there would be very few who would not want to earn more than the minimum and who would prefer to do nothing rather than work. However, the suspicions against a system of guaranteed existence minimum are not groundless from the standpoint of those who want to use ownership of capital for the purpose of forcing others to accept the work conditions they offer. If nobody were forced to accept work in order not to starve, work would have to be sufficiently interesting and attractive to induce one to accept it. Freedom of contract is possible only if both parties are free to accept and reject it; in the present capitalist system this is not the case. But such a system would not only be the beginning of real freedom of contract between employers and employees, its principal advantage would be the improvement of freedom in interpersonal relationships in every sphere of daily life.
1. Which of the following seems to be people's opinions a hundred years ago?
A.It was unnecessary to have a lot of poor and jobless people.
B.Some people should be excluded from the wealth of the nation.
C.The poor should attribute their conditions to the nation.
D.Minimum existence should be granted to the poor.
