Passage 1Ramon was very proud of his dog Blackie. Whenever he got a chance, he would ask his dog to amuse his friends with some tricks.One day Ramon went to visit his friend Frank who was sick at home with a bad cold. "How are you feeling?" asked Ramon. "Worse than yesterday," replied Frank. "I have a terrible cough, and there's not a drop of medicine in the house.""Cheer up, Frank. I'll send Blackie to the local drugstore for some cough syrup (糖浆). He'll be back in a minute, before you know it." Ramon put a five-dollar bill in Blackie's mouth and the dog ran down the street. "And keep the change," Ramon shouted after him."Oh, Ramon, don't be silly. You know that dog won't be back with any medicine." "Oh yes, he will," replied Ramon. Half an hour later, however, Blackie had not returned. Ramon was feeling embarrassed, and felt angry at his friend's little smile."Something has happened to him, I'm sure," said Ramon. "He obeys me as a rule." Just then Frank saw Blackie at a distance. He hurried to open the door and let him in. Frank was shocked to see a bottle of medicine in the dog's mouth."Good boy," said Ramon, "but what took you so long?" Blackie ran over to the window, barking and wagging (摆动) his tail. Ramon glanced out and saw a bone outside.6、Frank's cold had worsened and he had no medicine at home.A：T B：F7、Ramon called for a doctor.A：T B：F8、Ramon felt embarrassed when Blackie was late.A：T B：F9、Blackie barked at the bone outside the window because he wanted to have it.A：T B：F10、The story mainly implies dogs are after all dogs, however clever they are.A：T B：FPassage 2A foreigner's 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.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 don't, 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. Don't take itpersonally. 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 return, be 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 that may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a cafe 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. (349 words)11. Which of the following statements is wrong?A. Americans seem to be always under pressure.B. Americans attach less importance to patience.C. Americans don't care much about ritual socializing.D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.12. In the fourth paragraph, "a high priority" means .A. a less important thingB. a first concernC. a good businessD. an attractive gift13. Americans evaluate a business colleague .A. through social courtesyB. through prolonged business talksC. by establishing business relationsD. by learning about their past performance14. This passage mainly talks about .A. how Americans treasure their timeB. how busy Americans are every dayC. how Americans do business with foreignersD. what American way of life is like15. We can infer from the passage that the author's tone in writing is .A. criticalB. ironicalC. appreciativeD. objective第三部分:词汇与结构（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）此部分共有5个未完成的句子，针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从A.B.C.D四个选项中选出正确选项。
