11、 comprehension: (210=20)×Directions: Read the following passages and make your proper choices.（ 1）A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous, and helpful most Americans were to them. To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Cana

12、dians should best be considered North Americans. There are of course exceptions. Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US. Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment.For a long period of time and in many parts of the c

13、ountry, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence. Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion, and brought news of the outside world.The harsh realities of th

14、e frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality. Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement.It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers. It reflected the h

15、arshness of daily life: if you didn ttake in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one else who would. And someday, remember, you might be in the same situation.Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler. Yet, the old tradition of hospitali

16、ty to strangers is still very strong in the US, especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails. “I was just traveling through, got talking with this American, and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner - amazing.”Such observations reported by visitors to the US are n

17、ot uncommon, but are not always understoodproperly. The casual friendliness of many Amricans should be interpreted neither as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition.As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural sign

18、als, assumptions,and conventions underlies all social interrelationships. And, of course, speaking a language doesnot necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns. Visitors who fail to“translate”culturalmeanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. For example, when anAme

19、rican uses the word “friend ”, the cultural implicationsof the word may be quite differentfrom those it has in the visitors language and culture. It takes more than a brief encounter on abus to distinguish between courteous convention and individual interest. Yet, being friendly is avirtue that many

20、 Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.16. In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, _. A. rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the USB. small-minded officials deserve a serious commentC. those who are not so friendly deserve a commentD. Canadians are as friendly

21、as their neighbors17. The italicized phrase “take in”(Para.3) most probably means “A. appreciateB. admitC. accommodateD. absorb”.18. It could be inferred from the last paragraph that _. A. culture exercises an influence over social interrelationship B. courteous convention and individual interest ar

22、e interrelated C. various virtues display themselves exclusively among friendsD. social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions19. Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers _. A. out of a charitable impulseB. in view of their long-distance travel C. to imp

23、rove their hard lifeD. to add some flavor to their own daily life20. The tradition of hospitality to strangers _.A. tends to be superficial and artificialB. is generally well kept up in North AmericaC. is always understood properlyD. has something to do with the busy tourist trails（ 2）One of the thi

24、ngs I really looked forward to in my retirement was the weekly shopping expedition. I imagined pushing the trolley slowly, around the supermarket and picking out odd items that took my fancy. But, alas, my innocent dreams were rudely shattered.First it is necessary to secure a shopping trolley. Care

25、fully designed not only to hold all shapes and sizes of purchases but also all ages and types of small children, a single trolley is hard to get out of the line of trolleys where it is parked. Each trolley defies separation from its fellows without sharp jerks or the assistance of two strong men.The

26、 next lesson is that women never follow a logical route when shopping. Your wife has disappeared. After ten minutes of searching, when you eventually find her in a far comer, she enquires rather tersely: “Where have you been all this time, dear? ”Supermarket managers are sent on courses to learn how

27、 to tempt the customers and persuadethem to buy goods they do not really need, at prices they are not able to afford. As a newcomer, I was a sucker for their clever techniques and took many goods off the shelves. But my innocence was soon curbed by my wife. “Put it back, dear.”“Youve tried that befo

28、re and didn tlike it”. “No, it s too expensive.”I soon learnt to be a wheeler of trolleys and not a dealer in goods.But the most frightening hazard is supermarket trolleys driven by the so-called weaker sex.These women adhere to no code and give no quarter, and constant evasive action is necessary t

29、o avoid skinned knuckles, crushed toes or bruised shins. Their usual parking methods are eithersideways across the aisles, or side by side with a friend to exchange gossip, and a polite“Excuseme”from traffic usually meets with no response.After the week s groceries have been collected the last trial

30、 is passing through the checkout.Never join the shortest queue. Itusually contains several shoppers who pay by writing outapersonal check and who wait untilall their purchases have been totaled up before beginningafrantic search through bulging handbags for elusive checkbooks. When the bookeventuall

31、yemerges, the customer never knows the date, asks again for the forgotten total and omits to put theaddress on the back.Dontbe fooled, either, by thinking that this is the end of the exercise. When the check has been carefully examined by the cashier a bell rings, a red light flashed overhead and th

32、ere is a further wait until a supervisor arrives to confirm that the check can be accepted. Then it is our turn and the checkout girl is so quick and efficient that we don thave time to get out own checkbook ready. But the people who are packing our shopping are kind and give us cheery smiles.When w

33、e emerge once more into the great outside world eggs are running down my trousers. Just before the eggs are crushed by the collision between two trolleys, I hear the voice of my wife call out: “Oops, dear, mind the trolley. ”Shopping!21.
