）One night he saw three old men,each holding a glass.The first old man said：“Drink this liquid and you shall be victorious in battle.”The second old man said：“Drink this liquid and you shall have countless riches.”The last old man said：“I offer you the happiness of music-----the horn（号角）.”The boy chose the third glass,The next day,he came upon a great horn,ten feet in length,When he put his lips to it,a beautiful melody（旋律）floated across the valley.He had found a friend.So goes the legend（传说）of the horn.First known in the ninth century,the horn was used by herdsmen to call cattle,for its deep tones echoed across the mountainsides.Even today,on a quiet summer evening,its music can be heard floating among the peaks.6.The passage tells us his lonely job about the shepherd boy.A.TB.F答案：A7.The boy choose to drink the glass offered by the last old man because the boy was thirsty.A.TB.F答案：B8.After the shepherd boy found the horn,he discovered it was like a new-found friend.A.TB.F答案：A9.Today the horn is heard in the Swiss Alps when it rains.A.TB.F答案：B10.The Legend of the Horn would be the best title for the passage.A.TB.F答案：AIn the United States,it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning.（在美国通常不会在清晨给人家打电话。

）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 after11:00pm.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 orfour 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 is5minutes late,will say a few words of explanation,though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.11.What is the main idea of this passage?________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 late,they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S.D.Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.答案：B12.What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours?_______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.答案：B13.Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend in the U.S.A.?A.at7:00amB.at4:00pmC.at the midnightD.at4am答案：B14.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?________A.In the U.S.A.guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.B.No misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures about the concept 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.答案：D15.From the passage we can safely infer that_______A.it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in day time.B.the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.C.it makes no difference in the U.S.whether you are early or late for a business party.D.if a person is late for a date,he needn’t make some explanation.答案：B三、词汇与语法16.“Can you speak French?”“Yes,but________.”A.not manyB.only littleC.not muchD.only a few答案：C17.Every means_______been tried to solve the difficult problem.A.haveB.hasC.isD.are答案：B18.-Do you want to wait?-Five days________too long for me to wait.A.wasB.wereC.isD.are答案：C19.Twenty people were________wounded in the air crash.A.quicklyB.wronglyC.bitterlyD.seriously答案：D20.We came finally_________the conclusion that she has been telling lies all the time.A.ofB.intoC.toD.at答案：C四、完型填空Dick was a sailor on a big ship.（迪克是一艘大船上的海员。
