In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party dateBut it is not true in all countriesIn other areas of the world，it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgottenThe meaning of time differs in different parts of the worldThus，misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differentlyPromptness is valued highly in American life，for exampleIf people are not prompt，they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsibleIn the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour，it would be too impoliteA person who is 5 minutes late，will say a few words of explanation，though perhaps he will not complete the sentence (260 words) 在美國(guó)，一般不習(xí)慣每天很早打電話給某個(gè)人。如果你很早打電話給他，在他刮胡子或吃早飯的時(shí)候，那就說(shuō)明這件事情非常重要，需要立刻處理。晚上十一點(diǎn)以后打電話也是同樣的意思。如果一個(gè)人在睡覺的時(shí)候接到電話，那他肯定覺得這是一件事關(guān)生死的大事。打電話的時(shí)間也顯示事情的重要程度。在社會(huì)生活中，時(shí)間是一個(gè)非常重要的角色。在美國(guó)，如果在宴會(huì)三四天前才受到邀請(qǐng)，那受邀者就會(huì)認(rèn)為自己不是很受重視。但并不是在所有的國(guó)家都如此。在世界上的其它地方，提前很多時(shí)候做約定被認(rèn)為是很愚蠢的，因?yàn)榧s好一個(gè)星期以后的事情很容易忘記。所以時(shí)間的意義在不同的地方是不一樣的。因此，來(lái)自不同文化背景的人之間就會(huì)產(chǎn)生誤會(huì)。舉個(gè)例子，準(zhǔn)時(shí)在美國(guó)社會(huì)是受到高度認(rèn)可的。如果某些人不準(zhǔn)時(shí)，就會(huì)被認(rèn)為不禮貌或不夠負(fù)責(zé)任。在美國(guó)，沒有一個(gè)人會(huì)把一次商務(wù)活動(dòng)和等待一小時(shí)聯(lián)系起來(lái)，這太不禮貌了。一個(gè)人如果遲到五分鐘，就要做出解釋，也許這還不夠。6What is the main idea of this passage? _AIt is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S. BThe role of time in Social life over the world CIf people are late, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S. DNot every country treats the concept of time as the same 7What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? AA matter of work. BA matter of 1ife or deathCYou want to see him or her DYou want to make an appointment with him or her8Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend? _AAt 7: 00 am BAt 4: 00 pm CAt the midnight DAt 4: 00 am 9Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? _AIn the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date BThere is no misunderstanding arising between people from different cultures about the concept of time CIt may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A. DPromptness is valued highly in American life 10From the passage we can safely infer that _Aits a matter of life or death if you call someone in day time Bthe meaning of time differs in different parts of the world Cit makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business party Dif a person is late for a date，he neednt make some explanation Passage 2There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.目標(biāo)有三種：短期目標(biāo)，中期目標(biāo)和長(zhǎng)期目標(biāo)。Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on 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 no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.短期目標(biāo)是根據(jù)每日制定的為了處理當(dāng)前事物的目標(biāo)。短期目標(biāo)可以以少于一個(gè)星期，一個(gè)星期，兩個(gè)星期，或者可能的話一個(gè)月來(lái)完成。我們必須記住，正如只有地基牢靠，建筑物才堅(jiān)固一樣，長(zhǎng)期目標(biāo)脫離了扎實(shí)的短期目標(biāo)的實(shí)現(xiàn)是不能實(shí)現(xiàn)的。短期目標(biāo)的實(shí)現(xiàn)是以以前完成的目標(biāo)為前提的。The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.中期目標(biāo)是在短期目標(biāo)的基礎(chǔ)上指定的。可以以一個(gè)學(xué)期或整個(gè)學(xué)年為周期指定，或者延長(zhǎng)至幾年。每次你根據(jù)目標(biāo)前進(jìn)了一步，都不要讓自己感到?jīng)]有信心或者壓力重重。當(dāng)你完成了一個(gè)目標(biāo)，你都會(huì)增加成功的信心。并且當(dāng)你完成目標(biāo)的日期越來(lái)越近，你的動(dòng)力和希望都會(huì)增加。Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.(221 words)長(zhǎng)期目標(biāo)可以和我們未來(lái)的夢(mèng)想相關(guān)聯(lián)。可以是五年或五年以上的目標(biāo)。生活不是一成不變的。我們不能讓長(zhǎng)期目標(biāo)制約了我們或我們的行為。11Our longterm goals mean a lot Aif we cannot reach solid shortterm goals Bif we complete the shortterm goalsCif we have dreams of the future Dif we put forward some plans12New shortterm goals are built upon Aa daily basis Byour achievement in a week Ccurrent activities Dthe goals that have been completed 13When we complete each step of our goals, _Awe will win final success Bwe are overwhelmed Cwe should build up confidence of success Dwe should have strong desire for setting new goals 14What is the main idea of this passage?

AThe longterm goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid shortterm goals BThe intermediate goals build on the foundation of the shortterm goals CLife is a static thing，thus we should never allow a longterm goal to limit us or our course of action DWe should often add new shortterm goals to those which have been completed6【答案】B。【解析】主旨題。根據(jù)對(duì)文章的閱讀與理解，我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)這篇文章主要是向人們介紹時(shí)間觀念的文章，而其他項(xiàng)是文章的部分細(xì)節(jié)。 7【答案】B。【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。在文章的第5行有明確的說(shuō)明。 8【答案】B。【解析】細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)文章第1行和第5行的說(shuō)明，我們可以判斷只有選項(xiàng)B是最合適的時(shí)間。 9【答案】D。【解析】細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)文章，我們知道在美國(guó)如果在宴會(huì)前三四天才邀請(qǐng)的客人，往往是不重要的客人，所以選項(xiàng)A錯(cuò)。同時(shí)各國(guó)對(duì)于時(shí)間的理解也各有不同，所以選項(xiàng)B錯(cuò)。在美國(guó)應(yīng)該提前發(fā)出邀請(qǐng)，所以選項(xiàng)C錯(cuò)。 10【答案】B。【解析】選項(xiàng)A本身陳述就與文章內(nèi)容不符，所以不是正確選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)D與文中陳述不符。選項(xiàng)C也不符合題意。選項(xiàng)B可以從文中找到答案。11【答案】B。【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題，答案可以從文章第4行和第5行找到，即長(zhǎng)期目標(biāo)是以短期目標(biāo)的完成為基礎(chǔ)的。12【答案】D。【解析】細(xì)節(jié)判斷題，答案在文章第6行和第7行，即短期目標(biāo)是以以前完成的目標(biāo)為前提的。13【答案】C。【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題，答案在文章倒數(shù)第4行，即完成每一個(gè)目標(biāo)，將會(huì)增加我們成功的信心。14【答案】C。【解析】主旨題，文章主要是講解了三種人生目標(biāo)及其差異。15【答案】C。【解析】判斷題，根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，我們可以看出“生活不是一個(gè)一成不變的事物”。16The students were all entertained in a Mexican restaurant, at Professor Brians Amoney Bpay Cexpense Dloss 17Tom, what did you do with my documents?
