阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。(a)in canada and the united states, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.asians are immigrating to canada and the united states in larger numbers than ever before. most asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the west. in asia, especially in china, japan, and korea, it is difficult to go to university. students must first pass the strict national examination. however, in canada and the united states, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. as a result, asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.the problem is that when asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the west than in the east. also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. because of these two reasons, most asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the west. therefore, these children become“satellite kids”， and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a“satellite kid”only until now are canadians and americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem. because these children do not speak english and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. to be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak english well. also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. what these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that its better to have parents around than to have a university education.51. some asian parents send their kids abroad because _.a. they hope their children may easily find a job thereb. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countriesc. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countriesd. the kids want to improve their english and make foreign friends52. “satellite kids” refer to asian kids _.a. without patentsb. living abroad alonec. with university educationd. speaking no english53. some asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents _.a. want to leave their own countryb. want them to go to universityc. return to their countries to workd. want them to be independent54. what is the main idea of the passage?aparents want better education for their kids. bparents feel lonely and miss their families. ccanadians and americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem. dkids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family.(b)a man was on the side of the road hitchhiking(搭便车) on a very dark night in the middle of a terrible rainstorm, with no cars on the road. the storm was so strong that the man could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. suddenly, he saw a car come towards him and stop. the man, without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door and only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the steering wheel (方向盘)!the car started to move very slowly. the man looked at the road and saw a curve(拐弯处)coming his way. terrified，he started to pray，begging for his life. he had not come out of shock when, just before the car hit the curve，a hand suddenly appeared through the window and moved the wheel. the man, paralyzed with fear, watched how the hand appeared every time the car was drawing near a curve. finally, although terrified, the man managed to open the door and jump out of the spooky car. without looking back, the man ran through the storm all the way to the nearest town. in a state of complete horror, the man walked into a nearby bar and asked for two glasses of scotch whisky.then，still shaking with fright, he started telling everybody in the bar about the horrible experience he just went through in the spooky car. everyone in the bar listened in silence and became frightened, with hair standing on end, when they realized the man was telling the truth because he was crying and he was certainly not drunk!about half an hour later, two other young men walked into the same bar and one said to the other，“hey, theres a stupid man who jumped into the car while we were pushing it！”55. when the car was first drawing near a curve, the man_.a. felt very curiousb. was extremely frightenedc. cried for helpd. remained as calm as possible56. according to the passage, what made the mans experience believable?a. his reasonable behavior.b. his vivid description.c. his plain appearance.d. his honest attitude.57. we can infer from the passage that _.a. it is unsafe for people to take a free rideb. the man was telling a lie to his listenersc. the car probably broke down on the wayd. the two young men were familiar with the man (c)a woman from japan，who had visited major business and investment companies in new york city，was telling a friend about her trip to the us.“i studied english before i left home. but i still was not sure that people were speaking english.”her problem is easy to understand. americans in business are like people who are in business anywhere. they have a language of their own. some of the words and expressions deal with the special areas of their work. other expressions are borrowed from different kinds of work such as the theater and movie industry.one such saying is “get your act together”when things go wrong in a business，an employer may get angry. he may shout，“stop making mistakes. get your act together.”or，if the employer is calmer，he may say，“let us get our act together.”either way，the meaning is the same. getting your act together is getting organized. in business，it usually means to develop a calm and orderly plan of an action.it is difficult to tell exactly where the saying began. perhaps one of the actors was nervous and made a lot of mistakes. the director may have said，“calm down，now. get your act together.”word expert james rogers says the expression was common by the late 1970s.he says the manchester guardian used it in 1978. the newspaper said a reform policy required that the british government get its act together.now，this expression is heard often when officials of a company meet. one company even calls its yearly report，“getting our act together”58. paragraph 1 is written mainly to _.a. tell us the japanese womans english is poorb. lead to the subject of the whole passagec. tell us it is important to grasp spoken englishd. tell us traveling in the us is very difficult59. the reason why the woman was not sure that people were speaking english was that _.a. they spoke too fast to followb. they didnt want the woman to learn their experiencec. they had some special words and expressions of their own in their fieldd. they were from the theater and movie industry60. the saying “get your act together” in paragraph 3 means “_”adont do that again byou are dismissedccalm down dget organized61. we can infer that the saying “get your act together”_a. began from movie industry.b. was created by word expert james rogers in the 1970sc. is used commonly in business and investment companies at presentd. was first used by the manchester guardian62. the best title for the passage is_.a. different countries，different languagesb. the experience in the usc. the expression and its story：get your act togetherd. how to learn english well(d)thanksgiving day in the united states started as a way of giving thanks to a good harvest. it falls on the fourth thursday of november. the origin of the modern thanksgiving day is the harvest celebration in plymouth，massachusetts in 1621.early thanksgiving took the form of a special church service，rather than a feast，as is common now. george washington announced the first national thanksgiving day in 1789.since 1863，thanksgiving day has been a yearly holiday in the united states. a more recent tradition started in 1947.since then，we often see on television the president pardoning the turkey.it is traditional for families and friends to get together for a large meal with a turkey，potatoes and other seasonal vegetables. many of these foods are native to america and were not available in europe when europeans first settled in america.thanksgiving day parades are held in some cities and towns of the us. many football games are played and watching them is a popular activity. some people have a fourday holiday so it is a popular time for trips out of town and to visit friends and relatives.most government offices，schools and other organisations are closed. many offices and businesses allow staff to have a fourday holiday. public transportation systems do not usually operate on their regular timetables. it is one of the busiest periods for travel. this can cause over crowding. parades and football games can cause problems to the local traffic，so some states have an extra day for the thanksgiving holiday，known as thanksgiving friday.63. when did thanksgiving day become a yearly national holiday?a. in 1621. b. in 1789. c. in 1863. d. in 1947.64. what can be inferred from the last paragraph?a. many people cant have a fourday holiday because of their busy work.b. the activities of thanksgiving day may cause people trouble.c. all businesses will open on the friday after thanksgiving day.d. thanksgiving friday will be held in more states for extra pleasure.65. what does the text tell us about the gettogether meal of thanksgiving day?a. it neednt be a big feast.b. many foods are native to europe.c. turkey is not allowed to be eaten on this day.d. it includes many seasonal foods.66. which is the best title for the text?a. the origin of thanksgiving dayb. celebrations of thanksgiving dayc. thanksgiving day in the united statesd. presidents and thanksgiving day (e)i remembered little of the journey which started so early in the morning. i only knew that the day seemed extremely long，and that we appeared to travel over hundreds of miles. calmed by the sound of the carriage wheels, i fell
