13、he United States , it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning .

15、he invitation to a dinner party is extended only three 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 an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be

16、 forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently.

23、A foreigners first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush-often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands（任務）. Racing through dayt

24、ime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you dont, wai

25、ters will hurry you. You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Dont take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else wasting it beyond a certain co

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. We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return to this in terms o

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. Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they

28、 will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee they may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a cafe or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. W

29、e seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies.

33、議會，提高賦稅，但他沒能得逞。他命令軍隊進駐凡爾賽, 人民認為路易要武力鎮壓革命，于是在 1789年7月14日 發動起義，攻占了關押政治犯的巴士底監獄。至此， 7月14日 成為法國的國慶日。1792年，路易企圖逃跑，尋求奧地利和普魯士的幫助。但他被抓住了，關進了監獄。1792年9月，君主制被廢除，同年，路易國王被處死。幾個月以后，他的妻子Maxie也被砍頭。法國大革命嚇壞了歐洲其他國家君主，奧地利和普魯士的軍隊開始向法國進軍，法國為了保衛國家成立了共和國軍隊。革命經歷了一場恐怖時期，成千上萬人獻出了生命。最后，權力轉移到了拿破侖波那巴。 Passage 2 在美國通常不會在清晨給人家打電話。如

34、清晨給人打電話，他可能正在剃胡須或在吃早飯。這個時間打電話意味著事情很重要，需要立即處理。晚上11點后打電話，也有同樣的含義。如果有人在睡覺時間接到電話，他會認為這是生死攸關的大事。選擇打電話的時間表明這個電話的重要程度。在社會生活中，時間概念是一個重要組成部分，值得重視。在美國，如果客人在宴會前三四天收到邀請，會感覺自己沒被重視。但并不是所有的國家都有如此觀念。在世界其他地方，人們會認為提前過早的邀約很愚蠢，因為一周后的約會計劃可能會被忘記。因此，時間在世界不同地方具有不同的意義，在來自不同文化背景的人們之間也會產生誤解，他們對待時間的方法各不相同。在美國人生活中，準時、快速受到高度重視。如

35、果有人不準時，會被認為不禮貌, 不負責任。在美國讓生意伙伴等你一個小時是不可想象的，會被認為非常不禮貌。即使遲到五分鐘，也需要好好解釋上幾句，也許他不會完整的講完原因。 Passage 3 外國人對美國的第一印象可能是，人人都行色匆匆，而且常常處于壓力之中。城里人似乎總是在不停地、匆忙地趕著去目的地，在商店里急著買東西，為了去完成自己的事在人群中不停地用肘推搡著前進，白天吃頓飯像競賽一樣，這一切都體現出這個國家的生活節奏很快。 人們認為工作時間十分寶貴。在公共場所就餐，別人在旁邊等著你吃完，自己也好就餐，以便在規定的時間內回去工作。每個人都趕著為下一位騰出位置。如果你不這樣，服務員就會催你。

36、你也會發現汽車司機的動作很快，人們在催趕著你。你見不到陌生人的微笑、寒暄、打招呼。然而, 不要認為這一切是針對你個人的。這是因為美國人的時間價值觀念很強，他們憎恨有些人浪費時間超過了一定的限度。 對待時間的觀念會影響到人們對耐心的重要性的認可。在美國的價值體系中，耐心不是第一優先要考慮的。我們中許多人是急脾氣 - 一點就著。如果隨著時間的流逝，我們沒有得到像娛樂、工作業績、休息這樣的回報，我們就會開始感到忐忑不安。而那些來自不同國家的人們對時間有不同的看法，他們會發現無論是在工作上, 還是生活上, 快節奏是他們最難調整的。 許多初到美國的人會發現商務拜訪沒有禮節性的開場。例如，美國人不會給予禮

37、節性的歡迎儀式, 比如, 喝喝茶或咖啡, 而這在他們自己的國家卻是傳統的禮儀。他們可能也無法一邊喝咖啡 一邊輕松地進行商務會談。通常，美國人不會在輕松的環境中用冗長的閑談來評估商業伙伴。我們會盡力搜索關于商業伙伴以往業績的證據，而不是通過社交禮儀來進行評估。因為, 我們總是要對其進行很專業的評估和探究, 而不是通過社交性來確定，所以, 我們談起業務來就很迅速。 第三部分: 詞匯和結構 (共20小題; 每小題1分, 滿分20分) 此部分有20個未完成的句子, 針對每個句子中未完成的部分有4個選項,請你從A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項，并用鉛筆將答題卡上的相應字母涂黑。示例
