Just ahead of her, a man drops a few papers. The woman pauses to help gather them. A clerk at a busy store thanks a customer who has just bought something. Enjoy,” the young woman says, smiling widely. Have a nice day. She sounds like she really means it. These are the common situations we may see every day. However, in her best-selling book Talk to the Hand, Lynne Truss argues that common good manners such as saying Excuse me almost no longer exist. There are certainly plenty who would agree with her. According to one recent study, 70 percent of the U.S. adults said people are ruder now than they were 20 years ago. Is it really true? We decided to find out if good manners are really hard to see. In this politeness study, reporters were sent to many cities in the world. They performed three experiments: door tests (would anyone hold the door open for them?); paper drops (who would help them gather a pile of accidentally dropped papers?); and service tests (which salesclerks would thank them for something they bought?) In New York, 60 tests (20 of each type) were done. Along the way, the reporters met all types of people: men and women of different races, ages, professions, and income levels. And guess what? In the end, four out of every five people they met passed their politeness test making New York the most polite city in the study.56. What does Lynne Truss argue in Talk to the Hand? A. Excuse me is not welcome nowadays. B. Of all the adults in the US 70% are rude.C. People are not as polite as they used to. D. People dont care about manners any more.57. What is TRUE about the politeness study discussed in the passage?A. New York was the most suitable city for the experiment.B. Experiments were performed to see if common good manners exist.C. Sixty tests were designed to see if people are polite to each other. D. The study was reported in many cities of the world. 58. What is found in the study? A. Different kinds of people acted differently in the New York tests. B. More people passed the tests in New York than in any other cities.C. Many people in the experiment passed the tests by guessing. D. Four out of five people passed the politeness test in the study.A（1班）Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, butregardless of whether it is or isnt - we wont do much about it. We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn (庄严的)-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be kept. A1 Gore calls global warming an inconvenient truth, as if only recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution. But the real truth is that we dont know enough to relieve global warming, and without major technological breakthroughs - we cant do much about it. From 2003 to 2050, the world s population is projected to grow from6.4 billon to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase if energy use per person and technology remain the same, total energy use and greenhouse gasemissions (排放) (mainly,CO2)will be 42% higher in 2050. But thats toolow, because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economicgrowth unless we force the worlds poor to live in poverty and freeze everyone elses living standards. With modestgrowth, energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050. No government will take strict restrictions on economic growth andpersonal freedom (limits on electricity usage, driving and travel) thatmight cut back global warming. Still, politicians want to show theyre “doing something.” Consider the Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书).It allowedcountries that joined to punish those that didnt. But it hasntreduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990), and many signatories (签字国) didnt adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets. The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a possible disaster, the only solution is new technology. Only an aggressiveresearch and development program might find ways of breaking ourdependence on fossil fuels (矿物燃料) or dealing with it. The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become amoral problem when its really an engineering one. The inconvenienttruth (不愿面对的真相)is that if we dont solve the engineering problem, were helpless.56.What is said about global warming in the first paragraph? A. It may not prove an environmental crisis at all. B. It is a problem requiring worldwide commitments. C. Very little will be done to bring it under control. D. Serious steps have been taken to avoid or stop it.57. Greenhouse emissions will more than double by 2050 because of _. A. economic growth B. wasteful use of energy C. the widening gap between the rich and poor D. the rapid advances of science and technology58. What is the message the author intends to convey? A. Global warming is more of a moral problem than a practical one. B. The final solution to global warming lies in new technology. C. People have to give up certain material comforts to stop global warming. D.The debate over global warming will lead to technological breakthroughs.BPeople joke that no one in Los Angeles reads；everyone watches TV, rents videos，or goes to the moviesThe most popular reading material is comic books，movie magazines，and TV guidesCity libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes haveBut how do you explain this? A yearly book festival in west Los Angeles is booming year after yearPeople wait half an hour for a parking space to become availableThis outdoor festival, sponsored by a newspaper，occurs every April for one weekend. This years attendance was estimated at 70, 000 on Saturday and 75, 000 on Sunday. The festival consisted of 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an audience question-and-answer period following each talk. Autograph (亲笔签名)seekers sought out more than 150 authors. A short food street sold all kinds of popular food and various foreign foods，from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice (刨冰) drinksExcept for a $7 parking fee，the festival was freeEven so，some people avoided the food street prices by staying away and having their own sandwiches and drinks.People came from all over CaliforniaOne couple drove down from San Francisco. “This is our sixth year here nowWe love it,” said the husband“Its just fantastic to be in the great outdoors，to be among so many books and authors，and to get some very good deals，too”The idea for the festival occurred years ago，but nobody knew if it would succeedAlthough book festivals were already popular in other US cities，would Los Angeles residents welcome one?“ The citizens of the city are very unpredictable，”said one of the festival founders59. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph suggests that_A. city libraries have a very limited number of readersB. only a small proportion (比例) of the readers go to libraries by carC. city libraries provide fewer places for car washesD. city libraries have fewer parking places60. The outdoor book festival attracts_A. autograph seekers and authors onlyB. people with different interestsC. people who love Los AngelesD. people who like cooking61. At the very beginning，people were_ about the idea for the book festival in Los Angeles.A. confident B. pessimistic C. uncertain D. indifferent62. The success of Los Angeles book festival shows that_A. book reading is still popular in Los AngelesB. Los Angeles people prefer library to book festivalC. people attend the book festivals for fun not for readingD. libraries should have food streets to attract more readersCI hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling (叛逆). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of starting acting independently, most of them are holding one anothers hands for reassurance (放心). They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (茧) into a larger cocoon. It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly developed a market for teenagers. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. This is a great roadblock for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the roadblock is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you dont care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will comewith the people who respect you for who you are. Thats the only kind of popularity that is really important.63. The authors purpose in writing this passage is to tell_. A. readers how to be popular with people around B. teenagers how to learn to make a decision for themselvesC. parents how to control and guide their childrenD. people how to understand and respect each other 64. According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but in fact most of them_. A. have much difficulty understanding each other B. lack confidence C. dare not deal with any problems aloneD. are very much afraid of getting lost 65. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. There is no popularity that really matters
