9、g the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 An important businessman was asked to give a twenty-minute speech in another city. He was too busy to write it himself, so he asked his secretary to put one together for him out of a large book of speeches which she had on her desk. She typed one out
10、 for him, and he picked it up just in time to rush off to his plane. But when he gave his speech, it ran on for an hour, and the audience (听众) was getting very tired of it by the end.When the businessman got back to his office, he said to his secretary, “I told you it should be a twenty-minute speec
11、h !“Thats what I gave you,“ she answered, “the original and two copies.

Things which were considered impolite many years ago are no
15、w acceptable. 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 l
16、eft or the 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 sha
17、ke hands 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 arriv
18、es close 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,
19、one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.

But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who
23、first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a sym
24、bol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first
25、 persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680,
26、The umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England.By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasnt until the twentieth century that w
27、omens umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors. 29 The first use of umbrella was as_.（A）protection against rain（B） a shade against the sun（C） a symbol of power（D）a symbol of honor 30 The umbrella was used only by royalty or those in high office_.（A）in Europe in the eighteenth century

30、summer holidays in New Jersey in the past, staying in a small inn at the foot of a hill. One year, however, Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business, so they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around that famous city.They flew to London and arrived a
31、t their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey no meals were served after seven. They were therefore surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would ask dinner there that night.“Are you sti
32、ll serving dinner?“ asked Mr. Smith.“Yes, certainly, sir,“ answered the man. “We serve it until half past nine.“What are the times of meals then?“ asked Mr. Smith.“Well, Sir,“ answered the man, “We serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from twelve to three in the after
33、noon, tea from four to five and dinner, from six to half past nine.“But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London.“ Said Mrs. Smith.33 Mr. and Mrs. Smith _in the past.（A）had often stayed in a big hotel in New Jersey（B） had traveled to many places（C） had often stayed in a small i

The United States was mad at the Japanese so they made many Japanese-Americans leave their home
36、s. They were put in camps with barbed wire around the outside of the camps.Many Japanese-American young men were called into the army. Some of them joined the US Military Intelligence Service or MIS. The MIS was a secret group that fought the Japanese soldiers. This secret group translated important
37、 maps and papers. They questioned Japanese prisoners. Another task they did was to translate diaries written in Japanese.Sometimes Japanese soldiers hid in caves to hide from the Americans. The MIS would try to get the scared soldiers to leave the caves. This was known as “cave flushing.“ Some of th
38、e soldiers would give up and leave the caves.Other Japanese would jump to their deaths.The MIS never got awards for their efforts until the year 2000. Then they were rewarded for their brave acts in World War II. It took almost sixty years for them to be honored.Gayle Yamada has made a film about th
39、e brave Japanese-American MIS. The film is called “Uncommon Courage“ and is a true story.

For each blank there are four choices marked A, B,
42、C and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passages. Then, mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.40 Most young people enjoy physical activities, walking, cycling, football, or mountaineering.These who have a passion【21】climbing high and difficult mountains are often looke
43、d upon with astonishment. Why are men and women【22】to suffer cold and hardship, and to【23】on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities【24】which men give their leisure.There are no man-made rules, as there are for【25】
44、as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules【26】makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to their own methods.If we【27】mountaineering with other more fa
45、miliar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team work“. However, it is only our misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no “matches“【28】“teams“ of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may【29】, obviously, there i
46、s teamwork.A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight with natural【30】that are stronger and more powerful than man. His sport requires high mental and【31】qualities.A mountain climber【32】to improve on skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most inte
47、rnational tennis champions【33】in their early twenties. But it is not【34】for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more【35】than younger men, but they probably climb more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment. （A）for（B）
