III. Reading ComprehensionPassage OneWe walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn't even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched, mouth open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop (拖把). She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, "Very dirty floors." "Yes. I'm glad they've finally decided to clean them," the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, "But aren't you working late?" Mum just pushed harder, each swipe (拖) of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book. After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum nodded politely to the nurse and said, "Thank you." Outside, Mum told me: "Dagmar is fine. No fever." "You saw her, Mum?" "Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. It's a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is no good. You need a brush." （254 words）41. When she took a mop from the small room what Mum really wanted to do was __D__.A) to clean the floor B) to please the nurseC) to see a patient D) to surprise the story-teller42. When the nurse talked to Mum she thought Mum was a _D___.A) nurse B) visitor C) patient D) cleaner43. After reading the story what can we infer about the hospital? BA) It is a children's hospital.B) It has strict rules about visiting hours.C) The nurses and doctors there don't work hard.D) A lot of patients come to this hospital every day.44. Why did Mother go to see Dagmar in the hospital? DA) To give her some message about Dad.B) To make sure her room was clean.C) To check that she was still there.D) To find out how she was.45. Which of the following words best describes Mum? DA) polite B) patient C) changeable D) cleverPassage TwoBetty and Harold have been married for years, but one thing still puzzles old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ball-game, come back three and a half hours later, and they’re still sitting on the sofa? Talking?What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?Betty shrugs. Talk? We’re friends.Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is marked and unmistakable.More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress. Robin says, “M ost women have at lest one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment. They spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.”Rubin in her new book writes, “W omen’s relationships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men’s relationships are marked by shared activities.”For the most part, interactions between men are emotionally controlled – a good fit with the social requirements of manly behavior.Even a man has a best friend, the two share little about their inner feelings. Whereas a woman’s closest friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.46. What old Harold can’t understand or explain is the fact that __B__.A) he is treated as an outsider rather than a husbandB) women have so much to shareC) women show little interest in ball-gamesD) he finds his wife difficult to talk to47. Rubin’s study shows that for emotionally support a married woman is more likely to turn to__B__.A) a male friend B) a female friend C) her parents D) her husband48. According to the text, which type of behavior is NOT expected of a man by society? CA) Ending his marriage without good reason.B) Spending too much time with his friends.C) Complaining about his marriage trouble.D) Going out to ball-games too often.49. Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph? AA) Men keep their innermost feelings to themselves.B) Women are more serious than men about their marriage.C) Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.D) Women depend on others in making decisions.50. The research done by Rubin centers around ___B__.A) happy and successful marriage B) friendships of men and womenC) emotional problems in marriage D) interactions between men and womenPassage ThreeIn 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 or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. 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 invitation 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 different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness 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 associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. (260 words)51. What is the main idea of this passage? ____B____A. It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B. The role of time in social life over the world.C. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in theU.S.D. Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.52. What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours in theUS? ____B_____A. A matter of work.B. A matter of life or death.C. You want to see him or her.D. You want to make an appointment with him or her.53. Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with yourAmerican friend? ____B____A. at 7: 00 am.B. at 4:00 pm.C. at the midnight.D. at 4:00 am.54. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? ___D______A. In the U.S.A guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner partyis extended only three or four days before the party date.B. There is no misunderstanding arising between people from different cultures about theconcept of time.C. It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A..D. Promptness is valued highly in American life.55. From the passage we can safely infer that ___B_____.A. it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in day timeB. the meaning of time differs in different parts of the worldC. it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business partyD. if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make some explanationPassage FourA 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 it personally. 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 returnbe 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 they may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a caféor 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. (348 words)56. Which of the following statements is wrong? ____D_____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.57. In the fourth paragraph, “a high priority” means ____B_____.A. a less important thingB. a first concernC. a good businessD. an attractive gift58. Americans evaluate a business colleague ___D______.A. through social courtesyB. through prolonged business talksC. by establishing business relationsD. by learning about their past performance59. This passage mainly talks about ___A______.A. how Americans treasure their timeB. how busy Americans are every dayC. how Americans do business with foreignersD. what American way of life is like60. We can infer from the passage that the author’s tone in writing is _____C_____.A. criticalB. ironicalC. appreciativeD. objectiveV. 阅读课文Unit 2精读课文，完型填空（单词首字母已给出）There are two kinds of people in the world, and I am one of them.I am the kind of person who likes to be on time for things.
