This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you dont know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them.At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water (自来水) before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.Serving in restaurants is often large, too large for many people. If you cant finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows youre taking the food for yourself.Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.36.Which statement is true?A. American people like sitting with people they dont know.B. A hostess always seats a small group at a large table.C. American people never sit with people they dont know.D. American people will not light a cigarette if the people who sit at the same table mind their smoking.37. What is served before you order?A. Bread.B. Butter.C. Coffee. D. Cold water.38. What do American people always do when servings are too large for them?A. They take the food home with a “doggie bag” for their dogs.B. They leave the food on the table and go away.C. They take the food home with a “doggie bag” and enjoy the food later.D. They ask the waitress or waiter to keep the food for them.39. What can you learn about “tips” according to the passage?A. Customers often add tips to their check. B. The price of the meal usually includes the tip.C. People are not expected to pay tips in addition. D. Tips are supposed to be left on the table when customers leave.BIt seems that beauty and women are twins. You are joking? No, I am not. Observe for yourself. Ads on fashion flood TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers, and the streets. Whether they have realized it or not, women are besieged (包围) by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth? But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their minds proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called “aunt” or “granny” can still keep up her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart, great courage, concern for others, etc.In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concept. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Interested in new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty that is pure and real. Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful. Good books are rich soil which can feed the flower of ones heart and looks.40. According to the first paragraph, why are women caught by a sea of fashion? A. Because they are rich. B. Because they are taught to follow any fashion.C. Because they dont dare to look attractive. D. Because they think that they will look youthful and charming with beautiful clothes.41. Which is more important to a woman in the authors opinion?A. Richness of ones mind. B. Looks. C. Following the fashion. D. Wealth.42. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The richness of womens minds proves to be more beautiful than their looks. B. A woman who may be called “aunt” is no longer beautiful. C. A woman who has experienced many troubles may still keep up her beauty.D. It is not necessary for women to show their beauty through their beautiful clothes.第四节: 任务型阅读 请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。The idea that animals can sense earthquakes is a popular one, and stories about animals strange behavior before earthquakes have been told for centuries. Catfish moving violently, chickens that stop laying eggs and bees leaving their hive in a panic have been reported. Countless pet owners claimed to have witnessed their cats and dogs acting strangely before the ground shook barking or whining(哀叫) for no reason, or showing signs of nervousness and restlessness. Can humans use animals as earthquake detectors(探测器)? Debate over whether or not animals can truly sense earthquakes has not solved the question. Support for the idea that animals can sense earthquakes includes studies which suggest that animals may be able to feel the Earth vibrate(振动) before humans. Other ideas suggest that animals may sense electrical changes in the air or gas released from the Earth which could be indicators(预示) of an earthquake.However, other researchers think the animals ability is very doubtful. Some scientists feel that there is no strong scientific evidence to support the idea that animals can sense earthquakes. They say that it is difficult to develop a controlled study which can connect a specific animal behavior with an earthquake oc
