I hadtelegrammed London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was onemore unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for thatonce, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that Icarried no goods liable to duty. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervoustension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy (处世之道). I was, for whichever reason,so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, “Have you read this?” I replied withextreme foolishness, “Yes, hundreds of times.”“And you have nothing to declare?”“Nothing.”“How long have you been out of this country?”“About three months.”“And during that time you have acquired nothing?”“Nothing but what is on the list I have given you.”He seemed immediately at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, waspletely unexpected.I explained, but I had already lost face. I brought out my old watch from a pocket, andadded that I should be grateful if he would confiscate (没收) the replacement.“It is not a question of confiscation,” he said, “there is a fine for failing to declare dutiablegoods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?”It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband (走私货). Just when I let out a sigh of relief, he began to search my luggage!21. What can we conclude from the questions asked by the customs officer?A. He was just doing his duty by asking the passenger some usual questions.B. He must have noticed the writers ugly watch.C. He wanted to embarrass the writer.D. He must have noticed the writers tiredness.22. What did the writer think of the watch he bought abroad?A. He was fond of the watch because it was a Rolex.B. He found the watch useful though it was very cheap.C. He didnt like the watch at all.高二英语第4页共10 页D. He was interested in the watch.23. After reading the story we can infer that the writer _.A. knew little about the customs regulationsB. must have spent a long time at the customs and have been let go without any punishmentC. must have been fined because of carrying many contraband goodsD. might have failed in catching the hired carBViolin prodigies (神童), I learned, have e in different waves from different regions.Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought upin Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the worlds greatest violinists thereason for this phenomenon. “It is very clear.” he told me. “They were all Jews and Jews at thetime were severely oppressed (受压迫的) and ill-treated in that part of the world. They werenot allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on aconcert stage.” As a result, every Jewish parents dream was to have a child in the music schoolbecause it was a passport to the West.Another element in the emergence (出现) of prodigies, I found, is a society that valuesexcellence in a certain field to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societiesseem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most petitive society, with stronger discipline thanours,” says Isaac Stern, “children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields,including music.” When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not onlybecame part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. The Koreans and Chinese aswe know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.Thats a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work,biological inheritance (遗传) plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, forexample, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significantcareers in music.24. Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because_.A. it would allow them access to a better life in the WestB. Jewish children are born with excellent musical talentC. they wanted their children to enter into the professional fieldD. it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country25. Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that _.A. are highly motivated in the education of musicB. treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full developmentC. encourage people to pete with each otherD. promise talented children high positions26. Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to thepassage?A. A natural gift. B. Extensive knowledge of music.C. Very early training. D. A prejudice-free society.27. Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. Jewish Contribution to Music B. Training of Musicians in the WorldC. Music and Society D. The Making of Music ProdigiesCThree in ten Americans mit financial infidelity (出轨) by lying to their partners aboutmoney, sometimes suffering consequences such as separation or divorce, according to a newsurvey.The Harris Interactive online survey of 2019 adults released on Thursday showed 31percent of American couples who have bined finances were not truthful about issues suchas hiding cash or a bank account or about debt or earnings.“Financial infidelity may be the new normal,” said Forbes. , which performed thesurvey with the National Endowment (基金会) for Financial Education.One-third of respondents (响应者) also say they have been cheated, and both sexes lie totheir partners about money in equal numbers. “These unwise behaviors cause great damage, tothe relationship, which is really not worthwhile.
