And in her best English she said,"Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane.If you are in such a hur¬ry, why can't you give me a hand with myluggage?"

If you telephone him early inthe day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call showsthat the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The samemeaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p. m. If someonereceives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life ordeath. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In sociallife, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel theyare not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended onlythree or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries.In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make anappointment too far in ad¬vance because plans which are made for a date morethan a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in differentparts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from differentcultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued high¬ly in Americanlife, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impoliteor not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a businessassociate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will notcomplete the sentence. (260 words) 131. What is the main idea of this passage? A.

During the twentiethcentury there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent incaring for children. A woman who got married at the end of the 19th centurywould probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to haveseven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five yearsold. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in herearly fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during whichcustom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today womenget married at a younger age and have fewer children. Usually a woman’syoungest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to takepaid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children,her work is lightened by household appliances(家用电器)and convenience foods. Thisimportant change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have itsfull effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls leftschool at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However,when they got married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it.Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after thatage, and though women tend to get married young, more married women stay atwork at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more returnafterwards to a full-time or part-time job. Such changes have led to a newrelationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater shareof the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wifesharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according tothe abilities and interest of each of them. 136. Weare told that in an average family about 1890________. A. manychildren died before they were five B. theyoungest child would be fifteen years younger than the oldest C.seven of eight children lived to be more than five D. thechild death rate was rather high 137.When she was over fifty, the late 19th century mother________. A.would expect to work until she died B. wasusually expected to take up paid employment C.would be healthy enough to take up paid employment D. wasunlikely to find a job even if she is now likely 138.Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to ________. A. getmarried so that they can get a job B.leave school as soon as they can C. giveup their jobs for good after they are married D.continue working until they are going to have a baby 139.According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to ________. A. stayat home after leaving school B.marry men younger than themselves C.start working again later in life D. getmarried while still at school 140.The best title for this passage is ______________. A.Great Changes in Women’s Life B.19th-Century Family C.Modern Girls’ Choice D.Equal Duties in Family Life There were oncethree sons of a wealthy businessman. 141 they met, the two eldest, who weretwins, 142 to quarrel about which of them should behis father's heir (继承人) . The youngest, whowas not 143 ambitious (野心勃勃的),took no part in their argument. As soon as they left home, the father arrangedfor an adequate income to be provided for 144 of them, but insisted that apart from thisthey were to be financially self-supporting.

If you telephone him early inthe day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call showsthat the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The samemeaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p. m. If someonereceives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life ordeath. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In sociallife, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel theyare not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended onlythree or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries.In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make anappointment too far in ad¬vance because plans which are made for a date morethan a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in differentparts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from differentcultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued high¬ly in Americanlife, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impoliteor not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a businessassociate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will notcomplete the sentence. (260 words) 156. What is the main idea of this passage? A.

During the twentiethcentury there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent incaring for children. A woman who got married at the end of the 19th centurywould probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to haveseven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five yearsold. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in herearly fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during whichcustom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today womenget married at a younger age and have fewer children. Usually a woman’syoungest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to takepaid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children,her work is lightened by household appliances(家用电器)and convenience foods. Thisimportant change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have itsfull effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls leftschool at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However,when they got married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it.Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after thatage, and though women tend to get married young, more married women stay atwork at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more returnafterwards to a full-time or part-time job. Such changes have led to a newrelationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater shareof the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wifesharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according tothe abilities and interest of each of them. 161. Weare told that in an average family about 1890________.

Passage Thereare three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals. Short-termgoals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can applyon a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks,or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is nostronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very muchwithout the achievement of solid short-term goals.

And asyour list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. Long-termgoals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five yearsor more.

But the cultures of the two countriessometimes seem to be miles apart. LastThursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary (周年纪念) ofthe signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. Theagreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of warsand love-hate partnership. Buttheir relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just lastyear, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war—which British PrimeMinister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speakingout against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac's bodylanguage at international meetings. While the French leader often greets GermanChancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug (拥抱), Blair just re¬ceives a handshake.However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helpedties. Thehistory of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which thetwo sides see the world. But this doesn't stop 12 million Britons takingholidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in theopposite direction. Surveys (调查) show that most French people feelcloser to the Germans than they do to the British. And the re¬search carriedout in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes theFrench can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the Britishdislike France's close rela¬tionship with Germany, or because the French arenot happy with Britain's close links with the US. Whateverthe answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of "doubtfulfriendship" , they are at least able to make jokes about each other.Here's one: What's the best thing about Britain's relationship with France? TheEnglish Channel. (320 words) 181.For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is . A.friendly B.impolite C.brotherly D.a mixture of love and hate 182.

A.American people… Britain B.British people… Germany C.French people… Britain D.British people… France 185. Whatdoes the last sentence mean? A.

C.France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will help balance therelationship between them. D. TheEnglish Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain.

Passage2 Aforeigner's first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in arush-often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to getwhere they are going rest¬lessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowingothers as they try to complete their errands(任务). Racing through daytime meals is partof the pace of life in this country. Workingtime is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for youto finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the timeallowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don't,waiters will hurry you. Youalso find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You willmiss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don'ttake it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resentsomeone else "wasting" it beyond a certain courtesy point. Theview of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the Americansystem of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what mightbe called " a short fuse." We begin to move restlessly about if wefeel time is slipping away without some return, be this in terms of pleasure,work value, or rest.
