Ⅳ.阅读理解〔一共20小题；每一小题2分，一共40分〕
A
A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self made man —the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts，usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker，he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.
As you move around your home，take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video，and your kitchen will have a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer，holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.
Now，perhaps，more than ever before，people are wondering what life is all about，and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble a large
number of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives，leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself，will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward，furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary，the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car，digging in his flowerbeds，painting the house. His wife may even help with these things，just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living，or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.
56.From Paragraph 1,we can know that in America .
A.people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man
B.people can always rise to the top through their own efforts
C.college professors win great respect from common workers
D.people feel painful to mention their fathers as labourers
57.According to the passage，the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because .
A.servants in America are hard to get
B.she takes pride in what she can do herself
C.she can hardly afford servants
D.it is easy to prepare a meal with canned food
58.The expression“wait on table〞in the third paragraph means .
A.work in a furniture shop
B.keep accounts for a bar
C.wait to lay the table
D.serve customers in a restaurant
59.Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?
A.A Respectable Self-made Family
B.American Attitude toward Manual Labour
C.Characteristics of American Culture
D.The Development of Manual Labour
56.解析：“A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man—the man who has risen to the top
through his own efforts，usually beginning by working with his hands〞是第一段的主题句，说明在HY对手工工人很尊敬。

答案：A
57.解析：第三段“On the contrary，the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes〞说明女主人自己做饭的原因是她们为自己能动手做饭而感到骄傲。

答案：B
58.解析：根据wash dishes for his living可推断出wait on table的意思是在饭店里当招待员。

答案：D
59.解析：这篇短文主要讲述了HY人对手工劳动的态度。

答案：B
B

far away.In fact，some say they feel closer to the kids than ever.Many kids go to them for advice，and they talk like friends.

“Ladies and gentlemen，we got him!〞
With those words，Paul Bremer，the US’s top administrator〔行政官员)in Iraq，told the world that Saddam Hussein had been caught.
Saddam was found last Saturday night hiding in a hole on the land of his former〔从前的〕cook.He had a gun with him when he was found by US soldiers，but did not use it.He also had US $750 000.“He was quite cooperative 〔的〕.Not one shot was fired,〞said Richardo Sanchez，th e US’s top army official in Iraq.
Saddam Hussein was the leader of Iraq from 1979 to April 2021.In 1990,he went to war with Kuwait〔科威特〕,one of Iraq’s neighbours.Iraq’s army killed
many Kurds〔库尔德人)living there.The US and other countries went to war with Iraq in 1991 to get the Iraq army out of Kuwait.The war was won quickly by the American-led army.But Saddam was left to lead Iraq.
In 2021，America said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction〔大规模杀伤性武器)and decided to go to war with Saddam again.
The US-led army occupied〔占领)Iraq in April.But they could not find Saddam.Saddam had around 30 hiding places in the country and he moved among them every four hours.The US-led army only found him after being told where he was by one of his former workers.
America and Brit ain now want to put Saddam on trial for “war crimes〔罪行〕〞,such as killing Kurds in the 1990s.
，the US President，wants Saddam to “pay the ultimate penalty〔终极惩罚〕〞for such crimes.By that，he means the death penalty.The UN and European countries，though，do not want Saddam to be put to death.

My father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and announced:“Get up.You’re going with me to cut grass.〞
The idea that my father actually thought I was big enough to help him in his business made me feel proud and excited.From sunup to sundown my father，my younger brother and I worked in the large yards in a rich part of Atlanta，Georgia.By the end of the day I was tired out，but I felt good.I had put in a hard day’s labor and had earned $6.
One day my father found some leaves I’d missed and pulled me aside.“Clear away these leaves，〞he said firmly，“and don’t make me have to do it again.〞The message was clear.Today I value the importance of doing a job right the first time.It will never fail to impress the person you are working for.
After two years my father told me and my brother that he felt we were old enough to do lawns〔草坪)on our own. Every Saturday during our last two years of high school，we set out early in the morning with the same desire and drive we had gained while working under our father.
Taking care of lawns was not exciting or high-paying，but that didn’t matter.It taught me that any job was a good job and that whatever I was paid was more than I had before.
A newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live on a forty-hour-a-week minimum〔最低的)pay.“My father never worked just forty hours a week，and neither have I,〞I replied.“If you’re only working forty hours，you probably don’t want to do any better than you’re doing.〞In every job I’ve held from doin g lawns to washing dishes，I have learned something that helped me in my next job.If you work hard enough，you can learn from any job you do.
