Everybody in the Unites States knew him and many pe

17、ople wished to have a picture or something of his in their homes.Soon after the war the general returned to Washington. One day he went to a dentist (牙医) and had six teeth pulled out. A week later the general heard that his teeth were being sold in curiosity shops at $5 each. On each of the teeth th

18、ere was a label (标签) with the name of the general and words: “Buy these teeth and show them to your friends at home.“ The general got angry. He rushed to his office and ordered six officers to go around the city and buy all his teeth.The officers went out and visited every curiosity shop in the capi

19、tal (首都). They were away from the office all day. In the evening they returned and put on the table in front of the general the teeth they had bought.

21、he shops stop selling teethD. buy all the teeth in all the shops（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.It was not until I joined an American university that I realized the fact that the American and Lebanese systems of college education differ in many ways. Perhaps the circumstances under which each system was establishe

22、d lay behind these differences; but whatever the causes were, the differences exist and they are major. As a result, studying in America seems to be much easier than doing so in Lebanon.The first step toward earning a college degree is being admitted to the university, whether in America or in Leban

23、on. The conditions for admission, however, are very different. In my case, this American university asked only for my TOEFL scores and my high school grades. In addition to these, a Lebanese university asked me to take another three tests. The first was the English Entrance Examination, which is muc

24、h harder than the TOE- FL. The second was the Scientific Qualification Examination, which includes mathematics, physics, and chemistry. The results of the SQ exam decide whether a student is eligible to take the third test or not. Obviously, the difference is clear.（分数：12.00）(1).Whats the main idea

25、of paragraph one?A. The author is a student of an American university.B. There are differences between America and Lebanon.C. American system of college education differs from Lebanese one.D.

University systems.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What can we infer from the passage?A. Studying is easier in America.B. America

28、n university only pays attention to foreign students TOEFL scores.C. Every country should reform their university systems.D. We should know something about other countries.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now accept

29、able. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs are also different from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or t

30、he right of a woman in your country? Or doesnt it matter? What about table manner? Should you use both hands when you are eating?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands

31、 when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 oclock, the dinner guest either arrives close

32、 to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable - especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a dinner party. When the food was served, one of

33、the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, hut the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.（分数：12.00）(1).“Bad manners“ in the last sentence means _.

35、t _.A. tries his best to make his guests feel comfortableB. makes his guests feel excitedC. tries to avoid being naughty to his guestsD. tries to avoid being foolish（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The writer of this article may agree with which of the following?A. The guest who ate his peas with a knife.B. The

36、 other guests who were amused or shocked.C. The host who picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.D. None of the above.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Communication technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth. The first study to compare honesty across a range of communications

37、media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in E-mails. The fact that E-mails are automatically recorded-and can come back to haunt(困扰) you-appears to be the key to the finding.Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, asked 30 studen

38、ts to keep a communications diary for a week. In it they noted the number of conversations or E-mail exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 p

39、ercent of E-mails, 21 percent of instant messages, 27 percent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 percent of phone calls.His results, to be presented at the conference on human-computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surprised psychologists. Some expected E-mails to be

40、 the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable, the detachment(非直接接触) of emailing would make it easier to lie. Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of communication.But Hancock says it is also crucial

41、 whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and whether it occurs in real time. People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account, he says. This is why fewer lies appear in E-mail than on the phone.People are also more l

42、ikely to lie in real time-in an instant message or phone call, say-than if they have time to think of a response, says Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous(脱口而出) responses to an unexpected demand, such as: “Do you like my dress?“Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best

43、 ways for their employees to communicate. For instance, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth. But given his result, work assessment, where honesty is a priority, might be best done using E-mail.（分数：12.00）(1).Hancocks study focuses on_A. the

44、 consequences of lying in various communications mediaB. the success of communications technologies in conveying ideasC. people s preference in selecting communications technologiesD. people s honesty levels across a range of communications media（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Hancock s research finding surpri

45、sed those who believed that_A. people are less likely to lie in instant messagesB. people are unlikely to lie in face-to-face interactionsC. people are most likely to lie in E-mail communicationD. people are twice as likely to lie in phone conversations（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the passage,

46、why are people more likely to tell the truth through certain media of communication?A. They are afraid of leaving behind traces of their liesB. They believe that honesty is the best policyC. They tend to be relaxed when using those mediaD. They are most practiced at those forms of communication（分数：3

47、.00）A.B.C.D.(4).It can be inferred from the passage that_A. honesty should be encouraged in interpersonal communicationsB. more employers will use E-mails to communicate with their employeesC. email is now the dominant medium of communication within a companyD. suitable media should be chosen for di

48、fferent communication purposes（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from

49、 your own, the transfusion could kill you.There are four basic types of blood; A, B, AB and O. A simple test can indicate a persons blood type. Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents.Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receiv
