16、is part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.40 We have no idea about when men first began to use salt
17、, but we do know that it has been used in many different ways throughout the history.For example, it is recorded in many history books the people who lived over three thousand years ago ate salted fish. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to preserve the dead.In some periods of history, a
18、 person who stole salt was thought to have broken the law. Take the eighteenth century for an example, if a person was caught stealing salt, he would be thrown into prison. History also records that only in England about ten thousand people were put into prison during that century for stealing salt!
19、 About one hundred and fifty years ago, in the year 1553, if a man took more than his share of salt, he would be thought to have broken the law and would be seriously punished. The offender s ear was cut off.Salt was an important item on the dinner table of a king. It was always placed in front of t
20、he king when he sat down to eat. Important guests at the king s table were seated near the salt.

24、 young people in the United States. There are reasons for this great interest in the ideas, feelings, and actions of youth.Today there are about seven million Americans in the colleges and universities. Young persons under twenty-five make up nearly half of the American population. Many of these wil
25、l soon be in charge of the nation. Naturally, their ideas are important to everyone in the country, and it is necessary for older people to understand what they think and feel.College students today have strong opinions about right and wrong. They are deeply interested in making a better life for al
26、l people, especially for those who have not been given a fair chance before now. They see much that is wrong in the lives of their parents. It is hard for them to see what is right and good in the older ways. As a result, there is often trouble in American families.46 Which of the following statemen

31、n .caused by different ideas and opinions between parents and children50 Today the official language of the United States and most of Canada is English. However, French almost became the official language because of a war.The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this w
32、ar is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of the French.France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand its la
33、nd by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. When the French built a fort on the Ohio River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1754. How ever, the French defeated Washington.The French, aided by the Indians, outsmarted the English and w
34、on many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec, Canada, General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France. Both generals died in this battle, but the English outlasted the French and won the battle. Thus, most of North America t
35、oday has the English culture and language.51 The word “gain“ in Para 3 means _.（A）get（B） buy（C） lose（D）sell52 General Wolfe died in _.（A）England（B） France（C） Canada（D）Virginia53 Washington lost his battle at the fort on the Ohio River _.（A）at the beginning of the war（B） in the middle of the war（C） a
36、t the end of the war（D）two years after the war54 Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?（A）France tried in vain to control what is now the United States.（B） French was once the official language of the United States.（C） The French and Indian War was actually fought be
37、tween England and France.（D）The Indians helped the French during the French and Indian Wet.55 A good title for this selection is _.（A）The French and Indian War（B） The English language（C） Washington s army（D）The French and British War55 Most cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on al
38、most everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York C
39、ity sales tax, for examples, is currently 8% , so if you buy a pair of $40 shoes you will actually have to pay $43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult ( not to mention making .everything more expensive). We say in America that only two things in life are unavoidable:
40、 one is death and the other taxes.Another thing that makes money exchanges more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all s
41、orts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don t, the service person can t earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes)
42、, but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much.There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something ( either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman and to your building “super“ at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors a
43、nd colleagues.56 The main idea of this passage is _.（A）shopping and tipping（B） sales and shopping（C） sales taxes and tipping（D）sales taxes and people57 According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _ as sales tax.（A）$4.5（B） $4（C） $5（D）$5.5058 Usually, c
44、ab drivers _.（A）get high wages from the employer（B） get great benefits from the employer（C） get low wages from the employer（D）get high bonus from the employer59 According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?（A）The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries.（B） The wes
45、terners don t have to pay high tips in their own country.（C） Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are not tipped.（D）Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill.60 Usually, taxable items and the amount of tax _.（A）have no di
46、fference from place to place in the U. S.（B） are over 15% in the U. S.（C） have been put an end in the U. S.（D）vary from place to place in the U. S.60 We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up wit
47、h Helen? When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?“ When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it s too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real
48、 meaning. And if we don t really listen closely we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You re a lucky dog.“ That s being friendly. But “lucky dog?“ There s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog“ puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn t think you deserve your luck.“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he?
