Like most English children, I learned French at school. I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didnt understand French. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice and easy holiday without any language problems.How wrong I was! The misunderstandings began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Daisy a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.Yes, I said, I want to give my friend a ring. Well, thats nice, he said. Are you getting married? But arent you a bit young?Who is talking about marriage? I replied. I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her Ive arrived. Can you tell me where theres a phone box?Oh! he said. Theres a phone downstairs. When at last we met, Daisy explained the misunderstanding to me.Dont worry, she said to me. I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You ll soon get used to all the funny thingstheysay. Most of the time, British and American people understand each other!25.Where was the writer from? _A.France B.England C.America D.China26.The writer thought _ in America.A. he would not understand the Americans B.he wouldnt have any language difficultiesC. the Americans might not understand him D. he would have difficulty at the airport27.What did the writer really want to do ? _.A. go to the telephone company B. see his friend offC. buy a ring for his friend D. make a call to his friend28.From the passage we can see that give somebody a ring _.A .means the same in America as in England B. means call somebody to the old manC. has two different meanings D. means be going to get married in EnglandCI was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The notice in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip（来回路程） in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for the bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again the next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line（队伍） of people at the office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi; it was expensive, but I felt it would be worth hearing the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved(安心的) to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly found out, was that they had already sold all the tickets.25. The man learned that there would be a concert last Friday _.A. from his friendsB. from one of his workmatesC. over the radio D. from the newspaper26. He tried to go to the theatre every day but managed to get there only _.A. onceB. twiceC. three timesD. four times27. The writer mainly shows us his _.A. enjoyment of the concertB. happiness for buying the ticketC. efforts to buy the ticketD. disappointment at the concertDRetirement (退休) should be time of joy and freedom. However, for some people retirement comes with feelings of depression (沮丧), which makes life difficult for them.Retirement is a major life change. Even good changes usually involve（包括） some kinds of loss. When you retire, you find yourself lacking whatever working used to provide. That could include, for example, 1. knowing youre working for society, 2. getting admiration（称赞） from your skills, 3. having “aha” moments when you solve problems, 4. having people to socialize（交往） with, and 5. simply having a place to go and a reason to get out of bed every day. For most people, theres a financial（财政的） loss, too. Also, retirement age is a time when a lot of people have to deal with losing their parents or having serious health problems of their own.Because of all these, retirees are more likely to get depressed.Depression is very harmful. First, depression can make physical health problems worse. Second, it takes a toll on relationships, because it can make people angry. Third, its hard to get much done when youre depressed.What can we do to overcome (克服) the feelings of depression? First, do all the things that help depression in general: drink enough water, exercise, talk to friends, have a hobby, laugh, and spend time in nature. If you feel depressed more often than not, its probably time to talk to a doctor about your feelings. Second, its important to keep busy and get out of the house when you can. Make specific(具体的） plans with friends. Take a class Volunteer. Or just make sure you start each day with some kind of goal. Third, try to focus on what youve gained by retiring. Think about what you may have now that you wished you had before you were able to retire. For example, days that are less stressful, a chance to rest and take better care of your body, more time for your family and yourself. To write, to start a hobby and to learn something new are all new possibilities. Finally, tell your story. Youve lived a long time and you become an oral historian each time you talk with someone about your experiences. You can also write in a journal or make a video recording of your memories. Telling your stories can help you look back on your life and career with a sense of wholeness and achievements.32. People may find life very hard after they retire because of _.A. freedom B. nervousnessC. discouragement (losing heart) D. hard work33. All the following can cause the retirees unpleasant feelings EXCEPT _.A. they will suffer from financial loss B. they have to support their parentsC. they may lose the reason to get up early D. they may have fewer people to socialize with34. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means _.A. it makes peoples relationships unusualB. it makes peoples relationships in peaceC. it makes peoples relationships in dangerD. it makes people stay in touch with each other.35. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Depression and RetirementB. Depression During Retirement Is HarmfulC. Reasons for Depression During RetirementD. How to Overcome Depression During Retirement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。36_ He had more money than he could ever spend, and he was admired and looked up to（尊重） by his neighbors. 37._ He was not happy.
