For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) or D).You should make the correct choice and write down the letter on the Answer Sheet.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 （任务）. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.系 班级 学号 姓名 座位号 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, waiters 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 courtesy 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 returnbe this in terms of 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 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 caf or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly. (348 words)31. Which of the following statements is wrong? A.

But 41 little is certain about the health effects of its use. Manufactures 42 that cell phones meet government standards for safe radio-frequency radiation emission, but enough studies are beginning to document a possible 43 in rare brain tumors (肿瘤), headaches and behavioral disorders in children to cause concern. So far, the evidence isnt 44 on whether the use of cell phones 45 to any increased risk of cancer. In a new trial, researchers asked 47 volunteers to 46 in a project to measure glucose (葡萄糖) consumption in the brain by scanning the brain to see how cells use energy. For both 50-minute scans, the volunteers had a cell phone 47 to each ear. During the first scan, the devices were turned off, but for the second scan, the phone on the right ear was 48 on and received a recorded-message call, although the volume was muted (消音) so the noise wouldnt bias（使存偏见） the results. The results of the second scan showed that the 49 of the brain nearest to the device had higher rates of glucose consumption than the rest of the brain. The study shows that cell phones can change brain activity, and 50 a whole new avenue for scientific inquiry ,though it doesnt say anything about whether cell-phone radiation can cause cancer.Part Cloze (201%=20%) Over half the worlds people now live in cities.
