26、urtesy point. The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called a short fuse.

27、f pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.

33、议会，提高赋税，但他没能得逞。他命令军队进驻凡尔赛, 人民认为路易要武力镇压革命，于是在 1789年7月14日 发动起义，攻占了关押政治犯的巴士底监狱。至此， 7月14日 成为法国的国庆日。1792年，路易企图逃跑，寻求奥地利和普鲁士的帮助。但他被抓住了，关进了监狱。1792年9月，君主制被废除，同年，路易国王被处死。几个月以后，他的妻子Maxie也被砍头。法国大革命吓坏了欧洲其他国家君主，奥地利和普鲁士的军队开始向法国进军，法国为了保卫国家成立了共和国军队。革命经历了一场恐怖时期，成千上万人献出了生命。最后，权力转移到了拿破仑波那巴。 Passage 2 在美国通常不会在清晨给人家打电话。如

34、清晨给人打电话，他可能正在剃胡须或在吃早饭。这个时间打电话意味着事情很重要，需要立即处理。晚上11点后打电话，也有同样的含义。如果有人在睡觉时间接到电话，他会认为这是生死攸关的大事。选择打电话的时间表明这个电话的重要程度。在社会生活中，时间概念是一个重要组成部分，值得重视。在美国，如果客人在宴会前三四天收到邀请，会感觉自己没被重视。但并不是所有的国家都有如此观念。在世界其他地方，人们会认为提前过早的邀约很愚蠢，因为一周后的约会计划可能会被忘记。因此，时间在世界不同地方具有不同的意义，在来自不同文化背景的人们之间也会产生误解，他们对待时间的方法各不相同。在美国人生活中，准时、快速受到高度重视。如

35、果有人不准时，会被认为不礼貌, 不负责任。在美国让生意伙伴等你一个小时是不可想象的，会被认为非常不礼貌。即使迟到五分钟，也需要好好解释上几句，也许他不会完整的讲完原因。 Passage 3 外国人对美国的第一印象可能是，人人都行色匆匆，而且常常处于压力之中。城里人似乎总是在不停地、匆忙地赶着去目的地，在商店里急着买东西，为了去完成自己的事在人群中不停地用肘推搡着前进，白天吃顿饭像竞赛一样，这一切都体现出这个国家的生活节奏很快。 人们认为工作时间十分宝贵。在公共场所就餐，别人在旁边等着你吃完，自己也好就餐，以便在规定的时间内回去工作。每个人都赶着为下一位腾出位置。如果你不这样，服务员就会催你。

36、你也会发现汽车司机的动作很快，人们在催赶着你。你见不到陌生人的微笑、寒暄、打招呼。然而, 不要认为这一切是针对你个人的。这是因为美国人的时间价值观念很强，他们憎恨有些人浪费时间超过了一定的限度。 对待时间的观念会影响到人们对耐心的重要性的认可。在美国的价值体系中，耐心不是第一优先要考虑的。我们中许多人是急脾气 - 一点就着。如果随着时间的流逝，我们没有得到像娱乐、工作业绩、休息这样的回报，我们就会开始感到忐忑不安。而那些来自不同国家的人们对时间有不同的看法，他们会发现无论是在工作上, 还是生活上, 快节奏是他们最难调整的。 许多初到美国的人会发现商务拜访没有礼节性的开场。例如，美国人不会给予礼

37、节性的欢迎仪式, 比如, 喝喝茶或咖啡, 而这在他们自己的国家却是传统的礼仪。他们可能也无法一边喝咖啡 一边轻松地进行商务会谈。通常，美国人不会在轻松的环境中用冗长的闲谈来评估商业伙伴。我们会尽力搜索关于商业伙伴以往业绩的证据，而不是通过社交礼仪来进行评估。因为, 我们总是要对其进行很专业的评估和探究, 而不是通过社交性来确定，所以, 我们谈起业务来就很迅速。 第三部分: 词汇和结构 (共20小题; 每小题1分, 满分20分) 此部分有20个未完成的句子, 针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项,请你从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并用铅笔将答题卡上的相应字母涂黑。示例
