Jim was studying French and Steve Chinese, both at the Foreign Service Institute. We
12、 shared many things in common, but we also thought and acted quite differently. Steve was interested in speaking Chinese. He always tried every opportunity to talk with me with his very English-like pronunciation. I was often touched by his diligence. However, I wanted to practice English with him,
13、too. So we often spoke at the same time in the others mother tongue. Jim was fresh from college and the youngest of the three. He was going out all the time. The only time we met was at breakfast. There was a small round table in our kitchen, where we sat around to enjoy our food. Steve had Chinese
14、fast food such as dumplings or noodles, and I ate bread and boiled eggs. But Jim often just drank a cup of tea because he had nothing in his fridge. He was too busy dating pretty French girls to do any shopping. I often offered him some of my food. But Steve told me in his poor Chinese that I didnt
15、need to do that. He said that it was Jims own fault and that it served him right. Although he was learning Chinese, he still held his American sense of values.Two years later, I returned to China. The three of us still keep in touch, Jim now works in a travel agency in Paris. He got married to one o
16、f the pretty girls. He wrote to tell us that he can now enjoy a delicious breakfast with his beautiful wife every morning in their comfortable living room. Steve wants to work in China. And Im helping him with this. I have introduced him to the dean of the Oversea Section of our university. He is ve
17、ry interested in Steve. He wants to know if Steve can work here teaching the oversea students Chinese. I have sent the message to Steve. Im sure hed be very happy to accept the job. However, I hope he could try harder to improve himself .Otherwise, all the overseas students would speak with his terr
18、ible pronunciation!31 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?（A）The three of them were all language majors.（B） Steve and Jim were more alike in character.（C） The author didnt enjoy talking with Steve.（D）Their living condition was rather poor.32 What is the authors opinion
19、 of Steve?（A）Steve was a very hardworking fellow.（B） Steve enjoyed cooking Chinese food.（C） Steve enjoyed shopping more than Jim.（D）Steves Chinese accent was quite pure.33 Which of the following is TRUE about Jim?（A）Going out with girls cost him a lot of time.（B） He had a French way of making friend
20、s.（C） He learned French in order to date Paris girls.（D）He liked doing housework.34 The last sentence of the first paragraph implies that_.（A）Steve didnt like offering help to others（B） American people only eat their own food（C） American and Chinese differ in their sense of values（D）Steve wanted Jim
21、 to do his own shopping35 From the last paragraph,we can learn that_.（A）Jim is a very good husband（B） Steve enjoys teaching Chinese（C） The author works for overseas students（D）The three friends still keep in touch35 How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they
22、 were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved.
23、 It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. A child finds pleasure in playing in the
24、 rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do as what he wishes to do; he is continually being told what to do and what not to do. Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.When the young man starts to earn
25、 his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way
26、that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard, goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job a
27、nd in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be, but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children
28、 making progress in life, they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving ever
29、ything to others.36 The happiest people should be those who_.（A）face up to difficulties in life（B） hope to be young again（C） enjoy life in different ages（D）wish to grown up37 The word “they“ underlined in Line 4,Para.2 refers to_.（A）older people（B） new things（C） children（D）interests38 A child has hi
30、s pains because_.（A）he can not do whatever he wants to（B） he is not allowed to play in rain（C） he has a lot of new things to learn（D）he can not play at the seaside freely39 When a child becomes a grown-up,he is supposed to_.（A）live comfortably（B） take responsibilities（C） make progress in job（D）impre
31、ss the society40 The best title of the passage might be_.（A）Pains and Ages（B） Differences in Ages（C） The Best Age to Be（D）Happiness and Ages40 Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet. But experts on psychological research now
32、believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste. If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness, then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.Dr.Robert Coles, an internationally famous doctor, is the worlds top expert on the influence
33、of money on children. He has written a well-received book on the subject, The Privileged Ones, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. “Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,“ says the 53-year-old doctor, “such as better healt
34、h, education and future work expectation, but most important is the quality of family life. Money cant buy love.“It can buy a lot of other things, though, and thats where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Their parents over favoring can make t
35、hem spoiled. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.“But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,“ adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured.“Todays rich parents perhaps hav
36、e realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children. So their priority is to ensure that, their families are as rich in love as they are in money.41 According to the passage, children of rich families_.（A）enjoy traveling（B） can buy love（C） usually commit suicide（D）are
37、 not always happy42 Dr.Robert Coles believes that_.（A）being rich has as many advantages as being poor（B） rich children often get too little entertainment（C） rich children sometimes cant enjoy the thing they are most in need of（D）rich children arent given enough things43 Which of the following statem
38、ents is not true according to the passage?（A）It is love that is always lacking in rich and poor families alike.（B） Silver spoons can sometimes leave a bitter taste.（C） Money cant buy everything.（D）Rich children are often confused because they have so much to choose from.44 The expression “silver spo
39、ons“ in Paragraph 1 means_.（A）very expensive spoons（B） rich people（C） wealth（D）spoons made of silver45 This article is written mainly to tell readers that_.（A）the rich are more likely to do away with themselves（B） money can bring a lot of things, including love（C） life is always happy for children o
40、f rich parents（D）rich parents should realize what is important in the family is love rather than money45 Charlene, 16-year-old student at a high school, found herself faced with a maths test to which she knew none of the answers. Rather than fail, she took the test out with her and filled in the ans
41、wers with the help of her friends. During a break, she got back into the classroom without being seen, crumpled(揉皱 ) the test with her shoe, and left it lying on the floor. The teacher thought it had been dropped when the tests were collected; she corrected it, and Charlene received a B.Cheating is,
42、 of course, nothing new. But today, educators are finding that cheating on the part of students has become more frequent than in the past. Whether it is copying a friends homework, using a prepared sheet on an exam, stealing advance copies of a final, writing down rules in ones hand, or paying someo
43、ne else to write a term paper, cheating appears to have gained acceptance among a growing number of students between 13 and 19.In a 1978 study of cheating at twenty-two high schools in Georgia, it was found that cheating was common among good and poor students alikealthough both boys and girls said
44、they thought boys cheated more.Why is student on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame cheating on a general loss of good values among todays youth. They point to facts showing increased damage of public things and school stealing and think that reports, such as Watergate (水门事件) , have disappoin
45、ted youth about the honesty of people in higher position.Others think that todays youth are far more practical than their forefathers(先辈). In the late sixties and early seventies, students were filled with imaginations about changing the world, but todays students feel great stress to succeed.46 Acc
46、ording to Paragraph 1, Charlene took the test out because_.（A）her friends could answer none of the problems（B） she tore the test paper to pieces（C） she stepped her shoes on the test paper（D）she did not want to fail in the maths test47 Charlene passed the test because_.（A）she answered all the questio
