many throw money around like water to impress a group of friends out for an evening “on the town”. people who usually cannot afford it are the biggest tippers in front of their friends. it is all part of the show to prove a certain level of social success. nobody wants to look cheap, stingy, or poor in front of their friends. over-tipping also gives some satisfaction just to see the waiters reaction.for whatever reason, tipping will continue to be practiced in most countries. tipping does have its place in our modern society. it will also remain a somewhat personal expression of gratitude. 59. what is the meaning of the word “gratis” according to the passage?a. free of obligationb. free of chargec. plenty in timed. free from tax 60. when were tips first given in england?a. in the 17th century.b. in the 18th century. c. in the 19th century.d. in the 20th century. 61. which of the following statements is true?a. most people think that tips originated in england.b. most people think that tips originated in rome.c. today most people decide the “size of tips according to their mood.”d. according to the author, the practice of tipping does not have an interesting history. 62. how do you understand the sentence “the world is full of big spenders and people who act like big spenders.” in the 4th paragraph?a. all people in the world have a lot of money.b. no one in the world has a lot of money.c. many people spend a large sum of money every day.d. the number of people who either have a lot of money or who pretend to be rich is great. 63. why are people who cannot afford tipping the biggest tippers in front of their friends?a. because they have a lot of money.b. because they sympathize with taxi drivers, waiters in restaurants, waitresses in lounges and disco coat check girls, etc.c. because of their vanity（虚荣）.d. none of the above. cwhy does cream go bad faster than butter? some researchers think they have the answer, and it comes down to the structure of the food, not its chemical composition-a finding that could help break away from some chemicals. cream and butter contain pretty much the same things, so why cream should go bad much faster has been a problem. both are small globules（小球）of one liquid which spreads throughout another. the difference lies in whats in the globules and whats in the surrounding liquid, says brocklehurst, who led the research. in cream, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water. in butter, globules of a watery roads are locked away in a sea of fat. the bacteria （细菌）which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery areas of the mixture. “this means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture,” he says, “when in butter, the bacteria are locked away in locked places buried deep in the sea of fat. trapped in this way, those colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out. they also slowly poison themselves with their waste products.” “in butter, you get a self-limiting system which stops the bacteria growing.” says brocklehurst. the researchers are already working with food companies eager to see if their products can be made to stand bacterial attack through changes of the foods structure.brockelehurst believes it will be possible to make something used in salad cream, for instance, more like that in butter. the key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid state. 64. the significance（意义）of brocklehursts rescarch is that _.a. it discovered small globules in both cream and butterb. it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without using some chemicalsc. it showed the secret of how bacteria increase in cream and butterd. it found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition 65. according to brocklehurst, we can keep cream fresh by _.a. changing its structureb. killing the bacteriac. reducing its waterd. removing its fat 66. the underlined word “colonies” refers to _.a. tiny globulesb. watery regionsc. the surrounding liquidd. bacteria society 67. commercial use of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made to stand bacterial attack _.a. by changing its chemical compositionb. by turning it into a solid lumpc. while its liquid form remainsd. while keeping its structure unchanged dwork, for most american and chinese women aged 55 and under, involves responsibility for a household a child or children, and a job outside the home as well. it all adds up to a busy lift. how is it going for them for us?demographers have observed that life forms a different sort of pyramid for women in china than in the united states. in china, nearly all young mothers are employed outside the home, with their numbers tapering off as women approach old age. the reasons are clean the second income of the woman is an absolute necessity for a young family with a child or two. later on, when the children are grown, the older couple can more easily live on the husbands earnings plus the wifes pension, and fewer middle-aged women continue in employment.the pyramid for american women is the opposite, with fewer young women employed, and the number increasing at older ages. any young mothers have found it more efficient to stay home and care for the children themselves, then find employment later when the children are older and more independent. but rising costs of living are requiring more young american women to help support and have jobs. they enjoy the adult relationships with others at work and feel stimulated by the demands and challenges of being employed. staying at home with only a child or two, as even american family size is now, can be monotonous and lonely. furthermore, a womans paycheck can provide her with stronger voting power in family matters.but the american working mother often feels troubled by the complexity of her lift. childcare is unreliable and expensive. childcare workers have low status, are not well educated and are poorly paid-they are often women unable to get better jobs. thus the american working mother always has the worry that her child is not being as well cared for as she hopes, and the cost of babysitters or private-enterprise daycare centers can eat up half or more of her salary. other worries distract her from good performance at her job: what if the babysitter gets sick? what will her employer think if she has to stay home with a sick child? what if the car, necessary to get the child to the daycare center and herself to and from her job, breaks down? few people live close enough to their work of childcare center to accomplish this on foot or by bicycle, as in china. 68. what does the phrase “taper off” in the second paragraph mean?a. gradually decrease b. remain the samec. slightly change d. increase slowly 69. which of the four answers is not the reason for an american young woman to work outside?a. the cost of living is increasing. b. more earning contributes to more power in a family.c. staying at home with child is boring. d. baby care is unreliable and expensive. 70. what can we learn from the comparisons intentioned above?a. americans would be shocked to have to work at jobs that kept husband and wife separated for months.b. chinese men seem to be performing more in family work than the american man would.c. american women have more varied and complex concern in terms of childcare.d. american women are more concerned with their post.第二节（共5小题:每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 71 _when a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(迫使) by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habit is formed. once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. _72_children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. older persons also form bad habits as long as they live. older persons also form bad habits, and sometimes become ruined by them. 73 _many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness. among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, steali
