For each question, the

35、re are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Questions 51 - 55 are based on the following passage.In many countries there is a fixed charge for personal services. A certain

36、 percentage may be added to the bill at a hotel or restaurant “for the service“. In other places the customer may be expected to give a tip, or a small amount of money, as a sign of appreciation whenever services are performed. In the United States there is no consistent practice in regard to tippin

37、g. The custom is more common in a large city than in a small town. A native American may often be in doubt about when and how much to tip when he is in a city that is strange to him. In general, however, a tip is expected by the porter who carries your baggage, by taxi drivers (except, perhaps, in s

38、mall towns), and by those who serve you in hotels and restaurants.When you pick up your incoming luggage at an airport, you may tip the man who takes it to the taxi or airport bus.

In some cities the taxi driver may expect a tip in addition to the “extra“, especially if he carries your suitcase, ff no “extra“ is charged, a tip is usually given. Hotels generally do no

40、t make a service charge, though there are places where one is added. It is customary, however, to give something to the porter who carries your suitcases and shows you to your room. In case of doubt, 35 cents for each bag he carries is satisfactory. In a restaurant you generally leave about 15 perce

41、nt of the bill in small change on that table as a tip for the person who has served you. A service charge is generally not included except in some of the larger, more expensive places. If the order is small-a cup of coffee at a lunch counter, or something of the sort-a tip is not usually expected.Qu

The first hundred years after Christopher Columbuss journey of discovery in 1492 did not produce any settlement on the North Am

48、erica continent but rather some Spanish trading posts further south, a great interest in gold and adventure, and some colorful crimes in which the English had their part. John Cabot, originally from Genoa but a citizen of Venice, was established as a trader in Bristol, England, when he made a journe

49、y in 1497. But his ship, the Matthew, with its crew of eighteen, did no more than see an island ( probably off the New England coast) and return home.
