(This part is to test your reading abilities. Read the following two passages and finish each statement with the four choices marked A, B, C and D.) (20 points in total, 2 points for each)Passage 1A foreigners first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush-often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands （任务）. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you dont, waiters will hurry you.You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Dont take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point. The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some returnbe this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee they may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a café or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly. 41. Which of the following statements is wrong? _A. Americans seem to be always under pressure. B. Americans attach less importance to patience.C. Americans dont care much about ritual socializing. D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.42. In the fourth paragraph, “a high priority” means _.A. a less important thing B. a first concern C. a good business D. an attractive gift43. Americans evaluate a business colleague _.A. through social courtesy B. through prolonged business talksC. by establishing business relations D. by learning about their past performance44. This passage mainly talks about _.A. how Americans treasure their timeB. how busy Americans are every dayC. how Americans do business with foreignersD. what American way of life is like45. We can infer from the passage that the authors tone in writing is _.A. critical B. ironical C. appreciative D. objectivePassage 2Sixteen-year-old Maria was waiting in line at the airport in Santo Domingo.
