Pleased to meet you. If you are a visitor to our country, I expect by now you have realized why we call it Great Britain: our long and glorious history; the unspoiled beauty of our landscape; the rich variety of our weather, not to mention our great achievements in cricket and football.As for me, Im so many feet and inches tall, and weigh so many pounds and ounces. My petrol es in gallons and my milk in pints from a milkman. I pay for them, in pounds and sterling.The following are some specific aspects of us British:plainingIn order to be British, or at any rate to pass unnoticed in British society, the visitor must learn not to make a fuss. The true Brit cannot stand it. It is equal to drawing attention to you. If the receptionist ignores you, or the hairdresser blows smoke in your face, if the soup is cold or the taxi driver overcharges say nothing. Who knows what disappointments, what secret sadness their lives might contain? So dont plain. You can always write to the local newspaper when you get home. PolitenessTo be popular, and to make good impression on his British hosts, the foreign visitor needs to learn how to apologize, in the street, on the bus, at the hairdressers, in the bedroom, going out and ing in. Sorry is one of the most important words in the vocabulary of any true Brit, and a word which should be always on the lips of any foreigner moving among us. Fish and Chips or rather, “fishnchips” is another essential experience for the visitor. Britain is an island and eating fish reminds us of our practical and spiritual dependence on the sea. The chips symbolize our people: no two chips are the same, but we are united because we are all cut from the same bag of potatoes, all deep-fried in the same oil. This supper should be eaten almost immediately, with the fingers, walking along the street, preferably in the dark. DO NOT take the fishnchips home, empty them onto a plate and eat them with a knife and fork. This is not the British way. Mind Your Own BusinessA respect for privacy is one of the most highly valued social virtues in Britain, and those who offend against it are branded “Nosey Parkers”. Householders in foreign lands may sit outside their front doors, shelling peas and chatting to the world at large, or else hang from their balconies calling down to passers-by in the street. Such behavior makes the British deeply uneasy. 56. According to the passage, people normally associate Britain with . A. poor performance in cricket and football B. the destroyed natural environmentC. the changeable weather D. brief but splendid history57. We know from the passage that the British . A. hate hanging from their balconies calling down to passers-byB. are tired of eating fishnchipsC. usually dont mind being noticedD. can only write to the local newspaper to plain58. Which of the following statements is true? A. Its typical of the British to sit outside their front doors. B. When the British have their toes stepped on, they will demand an immediate “sorry”. C. The British eat their food with their fingers after emptying it on the plate. D. The British are seldom seen saying anything angrily in public.

Everyone seemed to have had a good time. A few people had too good a time; they went home with designated（指派的）drivers. All evening, the gift table remained unguarded. Who would steal anything, Ray thought. He had never heard of such a thing happening at a wedding. But his best friend Aaron said there was a first time for everything. He strolled out regularly from the inside festivities（庆祝）to check on the gift table, making sure no one suspicious was hanging around it. Ray and Julia went on a 3-week honeymoon to Italy right after the wedding. When they got back, they opened all the gifts and sent out thank-you notes. But there was one problem. A married couple that used to be good friends had apparently given nothing. This surprised Julia, because Walt and Mary said they were thrilled to be invited. And, they actually seemed to have had a great time at the wedding. Frankly, Ray didnt even care if they hadnt given a gift. He just needed to know whether to send a thank-you note. Ray called Aaron. Aaron said maybe Walt had left an envelope on the gift table like Aaron had. “Yes, but we got your envelope with the cash inside,” Ray said. “Maybe my envelope looked too thin, and some thief thought Walts envelope looked nice and fat.” Aaron asked Ray if he had looked everywhere for Walts gift. Had he called up the wedding site to see if anything had been left behind? Ray said that he had looked everywhere and made a lot of calls that were fruitless. Ray didnt know what to do. If he sent Walt and Mary a thank-you note for a gift they hadnt given, they would be insulted. If he didnt send them a thank-you note for a gift they had given, they would get angry. “What would you do?” Ray asked. Aaron said he would call Walt up and tell him the problem. “You cant go wrong with simply being honest,” Aaron said. “Oh, yes, you can,” Ray contradicted him. “Sometimes its best to let sleeping dogs lie.” But he thought about it, and finally decided that Aaron was right. He called Walt and told him the problem. Walt said that yes, he had given an envelope. In fact, the envelope contained $500 cash. “$500?!” Ray asked. “Thats a lot of cash, Walt!” Walt admitted that it was, but he had gotten a fat raise early that year and Rays was the only wedding hed been to in quite a while. Ray thanked him very much, and apologized sincerely for someone stealing Walts generous gift. Walt told him that it was “only money”. When Ray told Aaron about Walts gift, Aaron laughed. “The only thief at the wedding was Walt! I quit playing cards with him last year because I caught him cheating. And it was only a $10 pot! Im sure I told you about that.” “Yes, you did tell me,” Ray said. But, of course, he had to send Walt a thank-you note anyway. 63. The underlined word “insulted” in paragraph 5 probably means _.A. deeply impressedB. badly hurt C. much discouraged D. greatly moved64. What kind of person is Ray?A. Considerate and polite B. Friendly and optimisticC. Outgoing and determined D. Faithful and experiencedDOne of the widely recognized aspects of Chinas modernization process in recent years has been the fast development of the highway system. Twenty years ago, there was virtually no highway in China. Now China has 65,000 kilometers of highway and will exceed（超越）that of the US in two or three years.But I have a love-hate relationship with Chinas highway system after taking to the road many times. To drivers, Chinas highway system is probably the worlds most expensive with “here toll, there toll, everywhere toll.”For example, transporting a large container from Guangdong Province to the Beijing-Tianjin area involves paying toll fees of somewhere between 4,000 to 6,000 yuan ($600-900), depending on its weight. This actually makes transporting the same container from Chicago to Beijing-Tianjin area via sea shipment even cheaper. When moving things around the country is more expensive than moving things halfway around the globe, you know there got to be something wrong.One doesnt have to drive on highways for long to notice that the system is obviously inefficient. Many highways in China dont see much traffic during the day.While Chinese can feel proud that our country is the king of the highways, it is quite another feeling to consider that the steel, concrete and labor that go into highway construction will have to be eventualy paid by the vehicles that go through, and there just arent enough of them. That means a high toll rate is inevitable.Now I understand highways are expensive to build and the investment has to be recouped(收回) via toll collection. OK, you pay for what you get. But how much of the collected toll ine goes toward paying back highway construction loans is very much in doubt. Has the whole thing bee a scheme for meaningless job creation?In China, collecting toll fees is a very well-paid job, and in some cases pays better than a full professorship. I assume receiving cash and handing out a ticket doesnt need much education, right? It certainly cant be more stressful than migrant workers pouring concrete on the road under the sun.And then there are those obvious wastes at the toll booths（收费亭）. China now has the worlds most beautiful and most expensive toll booths. Every time I drive by a toll booth and see a nice office building nearby for the so-called management staff, I cant help thinking of the AC/DC song “Highway to Hell!”According to traffic law, when the line of waiting traffic is over 200 meters long and when all lanes at the toll booth are not fully open, drivers have the right to pass free. However, I have certainly run into traffic jams caused by toll booth delays many times, and I have never enjoyed such a free ride.67. What does the underlined word “inevitable” in the 5th paragraph most probably mean?A. Achievable B. Acceptable C. Unreasonable D. Unavoidable68. Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?A. China will have the longest highway in the world in two or three years.B. Moving things within China will cost more than moving things around the globe.C. Much of the toll ine does not go toward paying back highway construction.D. When the line of waiting traffic is over 200 meters long, he has the right to pass free.69. What does the writer mainly want to express in this article?A. China has built too much more highways than actually are needed.B. Highway construction loans should not be recouped through toll collection.C. There is something wrong with the toll system in Chinas highway. D. Too much money is wasted in collecting toll fees.70. The author writes this passage in order to _.A. encourage othersB. criticize somethingC. ask for helpD. solve problems 第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Women are avoiding academic careers in math-intensive fields because the lifestyle is not consistent with motherhood, researchers at Cornell University found in a study to be published next month in American Scientist Magazine.Universities have long been criticized for hiring and evaluation policies that discriminate against women, but the findings of this new study point to the female biological clock as a main reason why so few women end up as professors in fields such as math, engineering, physics and puter science.A woman who wants a family looks at the t
