Times Weekend,April 9-10) when it occurred to me that what I was reading was not ironic(讽刺的).If Prof.Persaud wants to know why Americans tip in restaurants,he need only to ask the first American he meets in London.Americans tip in restaurants for one reason,and one reason only:we tip to supplement(补贴) the salary of restaurant workers.Quality of service does not enter into it,beyond the fact that one may tip a bit less for poor service,or a little more for good service.Not tipping at all in a non-fast-food restaurant is not a choice.In the US,one used to tip about 15 percent for dining in a family-style restaurant or in an up-market(高档的) restaurant.Here,in San Francisco Bay area restaurants,we are encouraged to tip 20 percent or more,to help restaurant workers live in this very expensive area.After eating at an Italian restaurant in my city,I left a tip of 20 percent on the non-tax part of our dinner bill.It was expected.复杂的) than that about Americans tipping in restaurants.Ward Hoffman,Palo Alto,CA 94306,US*From Mr Philip McBride JohnsonSir,I agree with most of Raj Persauds opinion about the doubtful value of tipping,but with one exception(例外).Tips can be very useful when one is a repeat customer or diner.It is only when the tipper is a stranger and likely to remain so that the system does not work to his or her advantage.But frequent a hotel or a restaurant,always tip a bit more,and the difference in service and treatment will be easily felt.Philip McBride Johnson,Great Falls,VA 22066,US21.What can we learn from Hoffmans letter?A.Quality of service determines tipping in the US.B.Americans dont tip in non-fast-food restaurants.C.Tipping in the US up-market restaurants is unnecessary.D.答案D解析由“There is nothing more d than that about Americans tipping in restaurants.”可知,在美国,没有比付小费更复杂的事情了。22.Johnsons letter shows .A.a stranger in a restaurant is likely to tip a bit moreB.diners receive better service if they frequent a restaurantC.repeat diners may get good service if they tip a bit moreD.the tipping system works to the advantage of new customers答案C解析由“Tips can be very useful when one is a repeat customer or diner.”及“But frequent a hotel or a restaurant,always tip a bit more,and the difference in service and treatment will be easily felt.”可知,回头客如果多给小费的话会得到更好的服务。23.From the two letters,we can learn Professor Raj Persaud .A.feels doubtful about the value of tippingB.believes tipping improves quality of serviceC.wants to ask Hoffman about tipping in the USD.thinks tipping a bit more one can get good service答案A解析由“I agree with most of Raj Persauds opinion about the doubtful value of tipping”可知,Raj Persaud教授对付小费的意义表示怀疑。24.The two letters most probably appear in a .A.noticeB.handbookC.book reviewD.newspaper答案D解析这两封信都是对Raj Persaud教授在金融时报周刊上发表的文章“Whats the tipping point?”发表的评论和看法,这是读者对该文的反响,因此最有可能刊登在金融时报周刊上,而从金融时报周刊的名称判断,它最有可能是报纸。BIn most .Usually dinner is enjoyed with quiet voices,and people are not allowed to bring up anything unpleasant.For example,if someone wants to leave the table to the toilet,he or she has to do so without mentioning what he or she is going to do.Meals are always eaten quietly.No eating noises are allowed and therefore people chew with their mouths closed.While drinking soup,coffee or wine,slurping(出声地喝) is also highly impolite.How to sit at the table also has rules.Everyone should sit up straight with one hand (usually the left) on his or her lap holding a napkin while the other hand (usually the right) holds the fork or spoon.Only when using a knife to cut something should one have both hands on the table,but as soon as the cutting is done,the hand should go back to the lap.Also,elbows are not allowed on the table.People should never reach across the table for any reason.Instead they should ask someone sitting near to pass what they want to them.For example,“Would you please pass the potatoes?”As soon as you are seated,remove the napkin from your place setting,unfold it,and put it on your laps.At formal occasions,all diners cannot place their napkins on their laps until the host or hostess places his or her napkin on his or her laps.If your napkin falls on the floor during a very formal event,do not pick it up.Youd better signal a waiter and ask for a new one.25.Which of the following is considered to be bad table manners?A.Drinking soup noiselessly.B.Eating quietly.C.Eating with your mouth closed.D.Asking the host directly where the toilet is.答案D解析由“For example,if someone wants to leave the table to the toilet,he or she has to do so without mentioning what he or she is going to do.”可知,直接询问主人卫生间在什么地方是不礼貌的。26.Mary has both of her hands on the table.She is probably using .A.a forkB.a spoonC.a knife and forkD.chopsticks答案C解析由“.the other hand (usually the right) holds the fork or spoon”和“Only when using a knife to cut something should one have both hands on the table”可知,两只手都放在桌上的情况可能是正在使用刀叉。27.When you sit at the table to have dinner,which of the following is allowed?A.Put your elbows on the table.B.Reach across the table to get whatever you want.C.Place napkins on laps before the host or hostess does.D.Signal a waiter to ask for a new napkin if yours falls on the floor.答案D解析由“If your napkin falls on the floor during a very formal event,do not pick it up.Youd better signal a waiter and ask for a new one.”可知,D项正确。28.The passage is mainly talking about .A.how to behave at the tableB.the right way to drinkC.how to use a napkinD.how to sit at the table答案A解析本文主要讲述的是餐桌礼仪,B、C、D三项都只是其中的一个方面,不够全面。CAustralia is famous for its beautiful beaches.And Australian people love swimming and going to the beach.But it wasnt always that way.Different Climate,Different HabitsWhen Europeans first invaded Australia,the only people here who were good at swimming were the Aboriginal people.The Europeans came from climates where it was too cold to swim.However the warm climate of Australia soon changed their attitude to swimming.At first,only men swam.They swam without any clothes onthere were no women to see them.Cover up!By the 1880s and 1890s visiting the beach was very fashionable.People wore everyday street clothesmuch more than people wear at the beach today.In those days people believed they should cover their most body so it would not be seen by the opposite sex.Special bathing costumes were designed for women.This costumes used a lot of cloth and were very heavy when wet,making it difficult to swim.Laws Made and Laws ChangedThe government decided to stop men swimming naked.It passed a law which forbade bathing between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m.But in 1903,the laws changed;people could swim in the daytime,but they had to wear neck-to-knee costumes.The Shrinking CostumeAs time passed,swimming costumes became smaller and more convenient.At first men and women were covered from neck to knee.Then arms became bare.Then more of the legs were uncovered.Nowadays some people go to special “nude beaches” to swim naked.However,most people cover their bodies more than they did ten years agonot because they think bare skin is shockingbut to protect their skin from the harmful rays of the sun.29.Which of the following statements about the climate of Australia is TRUE?A.It made European settlers think differently about swimming.B.It changed European settlers swimming costume.C.It made European settlers feel much hotter.D.It made European settlers have to swim naked.答案A解析由第二段中的“However the warm climate of Australia soon changed their attitude to swimming.”可知,澳大利亚的气候改变了原来处在寒冷地带的欧洲人对游泳的看法。30.What should swimmers do during the late 19th century?A.They should hide when they met a person of the opposite sex.B.They should cover their most body to avoid being seen by the opposite sex.C.They should wear many heavy clothes on beaches.D.They should wear special wet costumes designed for them.答案B解析由第四段中的“In those days people believed they should cover their most body so it would not be seen by the opposite sex.”可知,那时人们应该将身体的大部分遮住,以免让异性看到。31.What does the underlined sentence mean?A.People were surprised by each new change and criticized it.B.People were amazed by each new change and praised it.C.Only newspapers were in favor of each new change.D.Only newspapers thought poorly of each new change.答案A解析由画线部分中的关键词“shocking”“rude”和“”可知,人们对游泳时衣着的改变感到惊讶并且持批评态度。32.What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A.People worry about getting skin hurt because of too much sun.B.People protect their swimming costumes from too much sun.C.People are greatly shocked by the nude beaches.D.People think it rude to swim with the smaller costumes.答案A解析最后一段主要讲的是人们将更多部位遮住的原因他们担心因过多暴露于阳光之下而使皮肤受到伤害。DImmigrant children are often highly motivated and have ambitious parents.And these clever,knowledge-hungry youngsters often achieve higher results than the rest of the classmates.In 1954,the United States opened its borders to an immigrant from Syria.His son,Steve Jobs,became one of the most creative entrepreneurs(企业家).In the current refugee crisis,that might look like a fairy tale,but it is not that unbelievable.While immigrant youngsters might face cultural,social and economic disadvantages,the top 10% of 15-year-old students with an immigrant background in the United States did just as well as the top 10% without an immigrant background,as measured by Pisa,an international test.In fact,when accounting for social background,these high-achieving immigrant teenagers were almost a school year ahead.This doesnt only happen in the United States.Pisa,after accounting for social background.潜力) to make exceptional contributions to their host countries.On average across all countries,top performing immigrants and non-immigrants reached similar levels of performance on the Pisa mathematics test.Many immigrants,after the sacrifices of migrating,seem determined to make the most of any opportunity that arises.Their children also seem ready to take on an academic challenge.Alongside the Pisa are questions about students.First-generation immigrants,including in the UK,are more likely than average to want to stretch themselves and try to answer more difficult problems.The OECDs research shows that in most cases immigrant students and their parents hold an ambition to win the matches,and in some cases they go beyond the expectations of families in their host countries.For example,parents of immigrant students in Belgium,Germany and Hungary are more likely to expect that their children will go to university and get a degree than parents of students without an immigrant background.33.Steve Jobs is referred as an example to .A.prove immigrant children caused all the refugee(难民) crisisB.show immigrant children could make better achievements than those in their native countriesC.criticize the policy of the United StatesD.approve that immigrant children could get along well with others答案B解析考查推理判断。第一段作者提到有移民背景的孩子们聪明,学习如饥似渴,第二段紧接着举出来自叙利亚的Steve Jobs最终成了最有创造性的企业家之一的例子,是为了说明有移民背景的孩子们可以比当地的孩子们更有成就。故选B项。34.According to the passage,cultural,social and economic disadvantages in immigrant youngsters .A.existed only in the United KingdomB.made the children hard to catch up with their classmatesC.are objective factors for the children to faceD.are all the questions from Pisa答案C解析考查细节理解。从第三段第一句可知,移民的少年们要面对文化、社会和经济方面的不利因素,这些都是客观存在的。其他选项均与文中内容不符,故选C项。35.It can be inferred from the OECDs research that .A.all the parents hope for their childrens achievementsB.parents play an important role in their childrens getting over the difficulty in studyC.parents cleverness results in their childrens achievementsD.immigrant childrens achievements result from a strong drive for success答案D解析考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段内容可知,移民的学生及其父母在多数情形下有着比赛要取胜的进取心,他们有时还会让所在
