10．"Long time no see"is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American friend's email，I laughed．I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish．
Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal（文字的） translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure!Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I was too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a research on google．com．To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing"Long time no see．"This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places．Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies．In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named"Charlie Chan"on wide screens．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius．"Long time no see"was his trademark．Soon after Charlie Chan，"Long time no see"became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．
Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew．All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other．American Chinese，though a minority ethnic（少數(shù)民族的成員） group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew!Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew．
You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc．There is a long list!Americans do not just simply borrow something from others．They will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant，or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store．Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future．In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor．
67．The writer himself felt surprised atA．
A．"Long time no see"used as standard American English   
B．the Chinglish expression"Long time no see"
C．so many literal translation of the expressions used in America
D．finding out Americans seldom use the expression
68．The underlined word"stew"in the 4th paragraph probably meansB．
A．Confucius'words       
B．a(chǎn) mixture of different cultures
C．a(chǎn) kind of cooked dish           
D．American changing cultures
69．According to the passage，it can be inferred thatD．
A．detectives translate the phrase"Long time no see"
B．cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew
C．the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languages
D．Hollywood made"Long time no see"popular
70．The main idea of the passage is thatB．
A．some Chinese expressions are introduced into English
B．American English keep being enriched from different cultures
C．some American expressions can be used in China
D．you'll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in America．

1．In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition．Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity （繁榮），others say that competition is bad； that it sets one person against another； that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people．
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills．For them，playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs．In their single-minded pursuit of success，the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten．
However，while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude．In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition．Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society．Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail．They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success．By not trying，they always have an excuse："I may have lost，but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try．"What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot．Such a loss would be a measure of their worth．Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others．Both are afraid of not being valued．Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve （緩解） can we discover a new meaning in competition．
67．What does this passage mainly talk about？C
A．Competition helps to set up self-respect．
B．Failures are necessary experiences in competition．
C．Opinions about competition are different among people．
D．Competition is harmful to personal quality development．
68．What does the underlined phrase"the most vocal"in Paragraph 3most probably mean？D
A．Those who try their best to win．
B．Those who value competition most highly．
C．Those who rely on others most for success．
D．Those who are against competition most strongly．
69．What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail？A
A．One's worth lies in his performance compared with others．
B．One's achievement is determined by his particular skills．
C．One's success in competition needs great efforts．
D．One's success is based on how hard he has tried．
70．Which point of view may the author agree to？A
A．Fear of failure should be removed in competition．
B．Winning should be a life-and-death matter．
C．Competition should be encouraged．
D．Every effort should be paid back．

18．There is no question that fewer teenagers are on the roads in the US．
In 1978，50% of 16-year-olds had got their first driving licence．In 2008，according to the US Transportation Department，it was just 30%．The number of those aged 19 and under with driving licences has also been declining since 1978，when 11，989，000 had licence．In 2010，it was 9，932，441，or 4.1% of American drivers．
In the UK，683，273 teenagers have driving licences-just 1.85% of total licence holders，according to Department of Transport figures from September 2010．
But the decline in the US may have more to do with tougher tests and the introduction of the new rule in many states，which force drivers aged under 16 to be with licensed drivers of 21 years and older when driving．
In recent years，the annual number of journeys being made by American drivers of all ages has declined clearly for the first time ever．Car use began falling in 2007，when average petrol prices almost doubled to $4.12 a gallon，and the economy became worse．
But there are signs that it is getting back to normal and American remains a country on wheels．It has a higher number of cars per head of population than any other country in the world．
"Cars will always be a popular means of transportation in America．You have to take into consideration some places don't have access to public transportation．Cars are the only way some people can get around，"says Kristin Nevels．This makes driving necessary in some rural states，where about twice as many teenagers are on the road than in big cities．
63．The underlined word"declining"in the second paragraph most probably means"B"．
A．rising       B．dropping             C．improving            D．holding
64．In recent years cars are used less than before mainly because ofC．
A．traffic jams     B．harder tests         C．expensive petrol     D．worst economy
65．We can learn from the last paragraph that Kristin NevelsC．
A．doubts the popularity of the car use in the future．
B．thinks American people can not live without cars．
C．holds confident attitude to the cars'future in America．
D．believes America should build up its public transportation．
66．What can be inferred from the text？B
A．The UK has more teenager drivers than the US．
B．A 15-year-old boy cannot drive alone in the US．
C．The US has very developed bus transportation system．
D．Big cities have more teenager drivers than rural areas in the US．

5．In the United States，it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning．If you telephone him early in the day，while he is shaving or having breakfast，the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention．The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11：00 p．m．If someone receives a call during sleeping hours，he assumes it's a matter of life and death．The time chosen for the call communications is important．
In social life，time plays a very important part．In the U．S．A．guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the attention to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date．But it is not true in all countries．In other areas of the world，it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten．The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world．Thus，misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently．Promptness （準(zhǔn)時） is valued highly in American life，for example．If people are not prompt，they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible．In the U．S．no one would think of keeping a business friend waiting for an hour．It would be too impolite．A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology．If he is less than 5 minutes late，he will say a few words of explanation，though perhaps he will not complete the sentence．
62．"The same meaning is attached to telephone calls after 11：00p．m．"Here"attached"meansC．
A．taken       B．drawn        C．given         D．shown
63．According to this passage，time plays an important role inC．

A．The important role of time in social life   
B．Time is treasure
C．The Importance of an Announcement      
D．Time and Tide Wait for No Man

A．It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in the U．S．A．
B．It may be appropriate to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some countries．

15．The survey by The Harvard Crimson was emailed to incoming first year undergraduates； 1，600 students responded．Results showed that at least a tenth of the students polled admitted to having cheated on an exam before starting at the university，while almost half admitted to cheating on their homework．
Athletes were apparently the most prone to cheating.20 percent of students who played a university sport admitted to cheating on an exam compared to 9 percent of students who did not．
The survey also revealed that men were not only more likely to cheat but were also more likely to admit to it．
The results，compared to a previous survey done on the class of 2013，suggested that cheating may be becoming more commonplace．Of the outgoing seniors only 7 percent admitted to cheating in an exam and another 7 percent said they had been dishonest on a take-home test.32 percent of the seniors said they had cheated on homework during their undergraduate years．
The surveys come in the wake of a cheating scandal at the university which saw 120 students investigated for sharing answers on an exam in 2012．
One recent graduate stated："Cheating was commonplace when I was at Harvard，especially with students in their first year or two．I would say as many as 60 per cent of students took notes into some exams．No one really cared and the faculty，well some of them at least，seemed to recognize and yet ignore the problem"．
In an email to NBC News，Jeff Neal，a Harvard representative，explained that a committee，made up of faculty，staff and students had been established to tacklecheating，which"is a national problem in American education"．
63．Of the following 4 university students，who is most likely to cheat？A
A．Jack，an athletic freshman  
B．Rose，a second-year student

D．Students are more likely to cheat in their senior years．
65．Why did The Harvard Crimson conduct the survey？D
A．Because they want to wake up the cheating students．
B．Because the faculty recognized and yet ignored the problem．
C．Because cheating has become a more commonplace．

2．A dog-lover has invented a high-tech way of feeding his pet by Twitter（推特，流行社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)）．Computer expert Nat Morris，30，has designed a system to give his pet a"tweet treat"by sending him a Twitter message．
His dog Toby gets some delicious dog biscuits from a computer-controlled food machine whenever Nat sends a message to"@feedtoby"．
Nat often works away from home and isn't always able to feed Toby by hand．But his new invention allows Nat to feed his dog from anywhere in the world．
Nat said，"Toby absolutely loves it．At first he didn't know what was going on．Now he sits underneath the machine，wagging his tail and waiting for the treats to drop．"
Nat fills the food machine with small pieces of dog biscuits，but not too many in case four-year-old Toby gets too many messages．And Nat has even equipped his house with an online camera so he can see Toby enjoying the food at his home．
But one problem is that friends and family have been so amazed with the"Tweet treat"machine that．they have starting to send tweets to Toby too．So Nat has had to restrict feeding time to make sure Toby doesn't turn into Tubby．
"People have been sending him food at all hours of the day，so I had to limit it to between 9a．m．a(chǎn)nd 9p．m..I'm thinking of doing an updated one which measures his weight before he is fed，just to make sure he's not putting on too much puppy fat，"explained Nat．
How Nat's Twitter Feeder Works：
When a message is sent to@feedtoby it is received by a mini-computer that is linked to the food machine．
When the mini-computer receives the message，a bell rings and Toby comes running over and sits in front of the feeding machine．Next the machine's motor pulls open a trap door which releases a serving of food．
The doggy biscuits then drops into Toby's food bowl．Finally a digital camera takes a photo of him and sends it back to Nat on Twitter-so he knows Toby has been fed．

25．Nat has invented a high-tech way to feed his dog because heC．
A．wants his friends to feed Tody
B．has very strong computing skills
C．is often too busy to feed his dog
D．doesn't like to feed Tody by hand
26．Why has Nat decided to limit the feeding machine's opening time？A
A．He doesn't want Toby to get too fat．
B．He fears the machine will run out of food．
C．He wants hid friends to stop feeding Toby．
D．He doesn't want Toby to be woken up at night．
27．It can be learned from the passage that TobyB．
A．sits beneath his feeder all day long
B．is now used to being fed by machine
C．doesn't know what happens to the feeder

19．Will you be playing some music at work？
Music is particularly popular in the medical profession，especially among surgeons（外科醫(yī)生）．A recent survey shows that 90% of surgeons in the UK put music on the sound system in the   theatre during operations．Plastic surgeons（整形外科醫(yī)生）play the most music，it appears； ear，nose，and throat specialists the least．
But it isn't only in surgeries where music is popular．In another recent survey，one-third of the 1，613people said they listen to music while working．And 79% of them said that humming（哼歌）along improves their job satisfaction or productivity．
Is listening to music at work a good idea？Yes，say the experts．Many surgeons say that music contributes to creating a"calm atmosphere"，and a third of them added that it avoids getting bored!Also，listening to music raises the levels of a brain chemical that can help people focus．Office workers say it improves job satisfaction．Several studies suggest that it's also good for hospital patients．Those listening to music through headphones during surgery require less anaesthetic（麻醉劑），up to 50% less in some cases，and recover more quickly afterwards．"Sure，music reduces anxiety before surgery，"says Zeev Kain，an anaesthetist at Yale University．
So，what type of music should we be listening to？Surgeons from the previous survey favored rock，pop music and classical．And hip-hop is popular too．However，whatever the kind，it appears that self-selected music is the best choice．Pennsylvania State University research showed that when people chose their own music there was more stress reduction．And other researchers found that when listening to self-selected music，surgeons did the maths faster and more accurately than when they were listening to music chosen for them．

70．The underlined word"theatre"in Paragraph 2probably meansA．
A．a(chǎn)n operating room              B．a(chǎn) rest room for surgeons
C．a(chǎn) waiting room in a hospital   D．a(chǎn) building where shows are performed
71．The surveys mentioned in the passage showA．
A．music is popular in many professions
B．most surgeons in the UK are music lovers
C．office workers learn a lot from listening to music
D．more than half the people listen to music at work
72．What are the advantages of listening to music at work？C
①improving memory②keeping people relaxed
③improving job satisfaction④improving eyesight
A．①④B．①②C．②③D．②④
73．How should you choose music for work time according to the passage？B
A．Turn to the surgeons for help．
B．Make your selection by yourself．
C．Rock，pop music and classical are always good choices．
D．The most popular music should be taken into consideration．
74．The passage is mainly aboutD．
A．how to choose music wisely
B．where to find the best music
C．the popularity of music in hospitals
D．the benefits of listening to music at work．
