Passage AIn any countries there is a fixed charge for personal services. A certain percentage may be added to the hill at a hotel or restaurant "for the service". In other places the customer may be expected to give a tip, or a small amount of money, as a sign of appreciation whenever services are performed. In the United States there is no consistent practice in regard to tipping. The custom is more common in a large city than in a small town. A native American may often be in doubt about when and how much to tip when he is in a city that is strange to him. In general, however, a tip is expected by the porter who carries your baggage, by taxi drivers (except, perhaps, in small town), and by those who serve you in hotels and restaurants.When you pick up your incoming luggage at an airport, you may tip the man whotakes it to the taxi or airport bus. He usually expects 35cents a bag for his service. In come cities the taxi that take you to your hotel may have one meter that shows the cost of the trip and another that shows a fixed charge, usually about 20 cents, for "extra". In some cities the taxi driver may expect a tip in addition to the "extra", especially if he carries your suitcase. If no "extra" is charged, a tip is usually given. Hotels generally do not make a service charge, though there are places where one is added. It is customary, however, to give something to the porter who carries your suitcases and shows you to your room. In case of doubt, 35 cents for each bag he carries is satisfactory. In a restaurant you generally leave about 15 percent of the bill in small change on that table as a tip for the person who has serves you. A service charge is generally not included except in some of the larger, more expensive places. If the order is small - a cup of coffee at a lunch counter, or something of the sort - a tip is not usually expected.16.According to the passage, the practice of giving tipsA.is consistent throughout the world.B.varies from place to place in the USA.C.is consistent in large towns in the USA.D.is consistent in small towns in the USA.17.According to the passage, the following are the people one may tip EXCEPTA.porters.B.taxi drivers.C.waiters.D.cleaners.18. According to the passage, which of the following is INCORRECT?A."Extra" is a fixed charge in some cities.B."Extra" is similar to a tip in some cases.C.If the "extra" is paid, one doesn't tip and more.D.Some hotels require people to pay a service charge.19.According to the passage, the amount of money for a tipA.is the same across restaurants and hotels.B.depends on how much one pays for his meal.C.generally varies according to the size of one's bag in hotel.D.is usually small for a cup of coffee at a lunch counter.20.From the passage we learn thatA.Americans sometimes are not sure how to tip.B.people in large towns know more about tipping.C.one has to tip no matter how big or small the order is.D.people sometimes don't tip when they are not satisfied.Passage BNormally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses, each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks. While attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes pressure from the strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example by cheating, has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him or her later in his or her career.21.Normally a student would at least attend _______ classes each week.A.10B.12C.15D.2022.According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed______.A.to live in a different universityB.to take a particular course in a different universityC.to live at home and drive to classesD.to get two degrees from two different universities23.American university students are usually under pressure of work because____.A.their academic performance will affect their future careerB.they are heavily involved in student affairsC.they have to observe university disciplineD.they want to run for positions of authority24.Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because__________.A.they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB.they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC.such positions help them get better jobsD.such positions are usually well paid25.The student organizations seem to be effective in ___________.A.dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB.ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC.evaluating students performance by bringing them before a courtD.keeping up the students enthusiasm for social activities三、完成句子（共10小题，每题2分共计20分）Section ADirections:用所给单词的适当形式填空，请填写在答题纸上，否则成绩无效。
