characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the selfmade manthe man who has risen to the top through his own efforts，usually beginning by working with his hands.While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker，he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual（体力的）labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life.One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously（豪华地）furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel，expensive hobbies，and college education for the children；yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself，will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward；furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily got from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery.On the contrary，the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes.A professional man may talk about washing the car，digging in his flowerbeds，painting the house.His wife may even help with these things，just as he often helps her with the dishwashing.The son who is away at college may wait_on_table and wash dishes for his living，or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.1From Paragraph 1，we can know that in America _.Apeople tend to have a high opinion of the selfmade manBpeople can always rise to the top through their own effortsCcollege professors win great respect from common workersDpeople feel painful to mention their fathers as laborers.2According to the passage，the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _.Aservants in America are hard to getBshe takes pride in what she can do herselfCshe can hardly afford servantsDit is easy to prepare a meal with canned food3The expression “wait on table” in the second paragraph means “_”Awork in a furniture shopBkeep accounts for a barCwait to lay the tableDserve customers in a restaurant4Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?AA Respectable Selfmade FamilyBAmerican Attitude toward Manual LaborCCharacteristics of American CultureDThe Development of Manual LaborBEvery time you look at a one dollar bill or a quarter you will see an image of the bald eagle.You may wonder why that symbol is on our money and many other governmental papers.The story was told that in 1775 at the first battle of the Revolutionary War sleeping eagles were awakened by the noise of the battle.They began to fly with shrill cries over the men fighting below.Seeing this，some soldiers said “they are crying for freedom.” After the colonies voted at the Second Continental Congress to declare independence from England in 1776，they felt an official seal was needed.They wanted an animal that was unique（独有的）to the United States.For the next six years the members of the Congress discussed，and argued over what the national symbol should be，but they couldnt reach an agreement.At last a Philadelphia naturalist came forward with a drawing，which showed a widespread eagle，faced front，holding a bundle of arrows in one talon（爪）and an olive branch in the other.Right away many states began using it in their coat of arms but it wasnt until 1787，five years after it was put forward，that the Congress officially announced the American bald eagle as the symbol of the USA.Benjamin Franklin was one of those who dissented the choice of the bald eagle.In a letter to a friend，Franklin wrote：“The bald eagle is a bird of bad moral character.He doesnt get his living honestly.He watches the labor of the fishinghawk and takes food from him.”However，the Congress liked the message that the drawing showed.Besides，unlike other eagles，it was native only to North America.The bald eagle was finally chosen and is used as the national symbol.5Why did it take the Congress so long to decide on the national symbol?AIt was hard to make a perfect design for the eagle.BThey hadnt won independence from England then.CEach Congress member had their own choice of animal.DThey didnt think it necessary to name the national bird.6The bald eagle was preferred because it was considered as a sign of _.ApowerBfreedom and courageCvictory Dhonesty7When was the bald eagle first advised to be the national symbol?AIn 1775. BIn 1776.CIn 1782. DIn 1787.8What is the purpose of the passage?ATo prove that an important decision took time to make.BTo mention some interesting part of American history.CTo explain why Benjamin Franklin disapproved the choosing of the bald eagle as the national bird.DTo explain how the bald eagle was made the national bird of the USA.七、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。California is the third 1._（large）state in the USA but has the largest population.It also has the distinction of being the most multicultural state in the USA，having attracted people from all over the world.Of the first Spanish to go to California，the 2._（major）were religious men,3._ ministry was to teach the Catholic religion to the natives.In 1821，the people of Mexico gained their independence from Spain.California then became part of Mexico.In 1846 the United States declared war on Mexico.4._ the time California elected to become the thirtyfirst federal state of the United States of America in 1850，it was already a multicultural society.Today，ChineseAmericans live in all parts of California，although a large 5._（percent）have chosen to stay in the “Chinatowns” of Los Angeles and San Francisco.By the 1920s the film industry was well 6._（establish）in Hollywood，California.The industry boom attracted Europeans including many Jewish people.It is 7._（believe）that before long the mix of nationalities 8._（be）so great 9._ there will be no distinct major racial or cultural groups，but simply a 10._（mix）of many races and cultures.参考答案一、 1答案：indicates2答案：luggage3答案：obvious4答案：slipped5答案：ferry6答案：justice7答案：mourned8答案：authorities9答案：grasp 二、 1答案：apparently2答案：conductor3答案：thoughtful4答案：punishment5答案：fascinating三、 1答案：team up with2答案：marked out3答案：took in4答案：apply for5答案：a good many四、 1答案：team up with2答案：The majority of the people3答案：it is4答案：A good many五、 1答案：We want to team up with your company to improve our product quality.2答案：Mark out your choice on the answer sheet with a single line.3答案：Statistics indicate that the world population has doubled.4答案：Apparently，he is satisfied with what you said.5答案：If the skirt is too big，we can take in the waist.六、 1答案：A解析：细节理解题。 根据“A cha
