【題目】I came to study in the United States a year ago .Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.

After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.

But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.

My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.

Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time...and I left without getting a cent.

【1】The author’s roommate offered to help him because________.

A. he felt sorry for the author

B. he knew the doctor was a very good one

C. he thought it was a chance to make some money

D. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer

【2】A good doctor is necessary for the author to________.

A. be properly treated.

B. talk with the person responsible for the accident.

C. eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury.

D. recover before he leaves American.

【3】The word “charge” in the third paragraph means_________ .

A. ask as a price B. accuse

C. be responsible D. claim

【4】Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very__________.

A. friendly B. busy

C. professional D. selfish

【5】What conclusion can you draw from the story?

A. Going to court is something very common in America.

B. One must be very careful while driving a car.

C. There are more bad sides in America than good sides.

D. Money is more important than other things in the US.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】C

【3】A

【4】D

【5】D

【解析】本文是一片記敘文。作者主要講述了自己在美國(guó)的車禍遭遇，由此看到在美國(guó)醫(yī)生和律師這兩個(gè)行業(yè)唯利是從的丑陋面目。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的＂Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.＂可知，作者的室友認(rèn)為幫助了作者，所以作者應(yīng)該付給他錢，他把這件事當(dāng)做了賺錢的手段。故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的＂And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .＂可知，作者如果想要從致使我受傷的人那索回賠償，必須要有一名優(yōu)秀的律師，而只有優(yōu)秀的醫(yī)生才能幫我找到優(yōu)秀的律師。由此可見(jiàn)，好醫(yī)生是作者請(qǐng)到好律師的關(guān)鍵。故選C。

【3】詞義猜測(cè)題。A. ask as a price 要錢；B. accuse控告；C. be responsible負(fù)責(zé)任； D. claim宣稱。根據(jù)句子Yet hechargedme $115 each time .可知，此處charge的意思是收費(fèi)，向我要錢。故選A。

【4】總結(jié)概括題。根據(jù)文中對(duì)這位醫(yī)生以及這位律師的描述，＂He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet hechargedme $115 each time .＂以及＂He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money.＂ 可知，二者并未向作者提供滿意的服務(wù)，只是為了收取費(fèi)用，十分自私。故選D。

【5】總結(jié)概括題。根據(jù)作者文中對(duì)這次事件以及受到的待遇的描述，可以發(fā)現(xiàn)在美國(guó)連醫(yī)生以及律師這些令人敬佩的行業(yè)并未向社會(huì)提供優(yōu)質(zhì)的服務(wù)，而是不斷索要錢財(cái)，可知，錢在美國(guó)社會(huì)的重要性。故選D。

【題目】語(yǔ)法填空。

Opportunities don’t come often. They come every once in a while. Very often, they come quietly and go by without 【1】 (notice). Therefore, it is advisable 【2】 you should value and treat them with care. When an opportunity comes, it brings a promise but never realizes it

【3】 its own. If you want to achieve something 【4】 intend to fulfill one of your ambitions, you must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. 【5】, you will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to visit you. The difference between a man who succeeds and 【6】 who does not lies only in the way each treats opportunities. The successful person always makes adequate preparations to meet opportunities as they duly arrive. The 【7】 (success) person, on 【8】 other hand, works little and just waits to see them pass by. 1n my opinion, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, but only those who are prepared adequately and qualified 【9】 (high) can make use of them to achieve 【10】 purposes.

【題目】Audrey Hepburn won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.

Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey’s father was British and her mother was Dutch. Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War II, she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she returned to London after the war. But she realized she wasn’t going to be a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演員). So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.

But it was Audrey Hepburn’s move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play of the same name to great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.

Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her most popular roles was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tifany’s in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.

She was married two times and had one son by each husband. In 1989, the UN Children’s Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF (聯(lián)合國(guó)兒童基金會(huì)) projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.

【題目】When important events are happening around the world, most people turn to traditional media sources, such as CNN and BBC for the news. However, during the war in Iraq in 2003, many people followed the war from the point of view of an unknown Iraqi citizen who called himself "Salam Pax" (Salam Pax means peace).

Salam Pax wrote a diary about everyday life in Baghdad during the war, and posted it on his website. Pax's online diary was a kind of website known as a "blog". Blogs are online diaries, usually kept by individuals, but sometimes by companies and other groups of people. They are the fastest growing types of website on the Internet.

A blog differs from a traditional website in several ways. Most importantly, it is updated much more regularly. Many blogs are updated every day, and some are updated several times a day. Also, most blogs use special software or websites, which can help ordinary people easily set up and start writing their own blogs.

There are many different kinds of blogs. The most popular type is an online diary of links where the blog writer surfs the Internet and then posts links to sites or news articles that they find interesting, with a few comments about each one. Other types are personal diaries, where the writer talks about their life and feelings. Sometimes these blogs can be very personal.

There is another kind of blogging, called "moblogging", short for "mobile blogging".

Mobloggers use mobile phones with cameras to take photos, which are posted instantly to the Internet. The use of mobile phones in this way made the headlines in Singapore when a high school student posted a movie he had taken of a teacher shouting at another student on the Internet. Many people were shocked by what the student did, and wanted phones with cameras to be banned from schools.

Many people think that as blogs become common, news reporting will rely less on big media companies, and more on ordinary people posting news to the Internet. They think that then the news will be less like a lecture, and more like a conversation, where anyone can join in.

【1】Which statement about Salam Pax was true?

A. He worked for CNN.

B. Salam Pax was not his real name.

C. He was famous as a host in BBC.

D. He used a mobile phone for his blog.

【2】What is the biggest difference between blogs and traditional websites?

A. Blogs use special software.

B. Blogs contain personal information.

C. Blogs are updated much more often.

D. Blogs contain links to other websites.

【3】According to the passage, in the future it is likely that ________.

A. everyone will have a blog

B. blogging technology will be banned

C. large media companies will be unnecessary

D. people will be able to learn the news from other points of view

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. The war in Iraq. B. New types of media.

C. The history of the Internet. D. The increase of using computers.
