This independence〔独立性〕is learned from childhood.From an early age, American children learn responsibility〔责任感〕. Children as young as 2 begin to put away their toys and dress themselves. At 3, many children do simple chores like setting the table.Using money wisely is also taught early. As soon as a child understands the value of money, he or she receives a weekly allowance. This is used for things the child wants, like toys or treats. The child can spend or save it, usually with little guidance〔指导〕from parents. If the child wants money besides his or her allowance, it must be made by doing extra chores.Children are taught early in life to think forthemselves. They are allowed to make some decisions and make mistakes. Failure often teaches children more than success51、Many American young people begin to live on themselves __________A. at eighteen years oldB. from childhoodC. after they get marriedD. from an early age52.

The building next to ours was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there and whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing (缝纫) and reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, 〝Why doesn’t that woman clean her window? It really looks terrible.〞One bright morning I decided to clean my apartment, including cleaning the window.Late in the afternoon I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly seen. Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. since then,whenever I want to judge (判断) someone, I ask myself first, 〝Am I looking at him through my own dirty window? 〞Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.56. The writer couldn’t see anything clearly through the window because ________ .A. the woman’s window was dirtyB. the writer’s window was dirtyC. the woman lived far awayD. the writer wasnear-sighted57.

From the passage we know that ________ .A. both the woman and the writer lived in a small townB. the writer often cleaned his windowC. both the woman and the writer worked as cleanersD. the writer never met the woman60. From the passage we can learn that ________ .A. one shouldn’t criticize others very oftenB. one should often keep his windows cleanC. one should judge himself before he judges othersD. one should look at others through his dirty window(D)The customs in different countries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I do not want to, because it is considered bad manners in the west to leave one’s food on the plate. I have also noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he often refuses the offer of drink though he’s in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in China but it is not in the west at all. In the United States, itis impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on his accepting something. Americans have a direct way of speaking. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, 〝No, thanks.〞When an American is served with beer by the host, for example, he might say, 〝No, thanks. I’ll take some orange juice if you have it.〞That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States, you’d better remember the famous saying: 〝when in Rome, do as the Romans do.〞61.From this passage we can see that the writer is .A、a ChineseB、a RomanC、an AmericanD、a European62.When a Chinese host kept putting more food onto his plate, the writer felt .A、very happyB、sadC、angryD、uneasy63.In the west, people consider it bad manners .A、to refuse an offerB、to ask for something directlyC、to eat at a dinner partyD、to keep asking someone to accept something64.A guest at an American’s dinner party should show his politeness by .A、putting more food onto his plate as soon as he emptied itB、refusing the offer of food or drink though he is still hungry or thirsty.C、asking for things directly if he wants themD、not eating all the food offered65.〞when in Rome, do as Romans do〞means___________A the Romans are people of good mannersB Americans always do the same things as the Romans doC you should get used to the local(当地的) customs wherever you goD you should learn to do as Romans when in Rome五、写作〔共三节，总分值30分〕第一节单词拼写〔共5小题，每题1分，总分值5分〕66.Madame Curie is a great i________.
