Tips are usually appreciated, but offering a tip of some services can cause confusion.In casual restaurants, where you pay for your order at a counter but food is brought to your table, tipping is uncommon. You are welcome to leave a pound or two if you wish. In restaurants where you place your order with a waiter or a waitress and receive your food and bill at your table, its customary to tip around 10 percent. In some restaurants, a service charge may be added to the bill automatically, typically 10 or 12.5 percent. In this case, you dont need to add a further tip. When you pay by credit card, the machine may ask if you want to add a tip. Check your bill to see if a service charge has already been added before payingif so you dont need to add a tip on the machine. You can request the service charge be removed from your bill if you are unhappy with the service. In some cases a restaurant may print “service not included” on the bill or menu. This is a request for a tip. Youre not forced to offer anything, but 10 percent would be normal in this situation. Tipping in cafes and fast food restaurant is not expected.If you use a taxi, round the fare up to the nearest pound shown on the meter. On a journey from or to the airport in a booked minicab you might wish to tip 2 or 3 pounds if the driver helps with your bags.Be sure to check a countrys tipping culture before you start your trip. For more information, visit TripAdvisor.com.21. According to the text, _ in British culture.A. it is compulsory to tip even if the service is unsatisfying in some restaurantsB. it is customary to tip if “service not included” is printed on the billC. it is confusing to tip if you receive your bill at your tableD. it is necessary to tip if you are served in cafes22. When you pay by credit card, _.A. the service charge cant be refusedB. the service charge can be added on the machineC. the service charge neednt be checked before you pay4D. the service charge must have been included in the bill automatically23. If the British taxi meter shows 58.4 pounds, you are expected to pay _.A. 64 pounds B.61 pounds C. 59 pounds D. 58.4 pounds24. What is the best title for the text?A. British Ways to Tipping B. Advice on Tipping in RestaurantsC. Occasions for Tipping D. Introduction of TripAdvisor.comB BWalt Whitman was born in 1819 in Long Island, New York. Whitman received most of his education outside of the classroom. At the age of eleven, he worked in a law office as an office boy where he became interested in reading. He was soon reading the works of famous authors like William Shakespeare and Homer, and was well on his way to becoming one of Americas most well-known poets.By the time Whitman was seventeen years old, he had already worked as a printers learner, a worker, and a learning games to help his students with spelling and maths. In his early twenties, however, he gave up teaching to pursue a full-time career as a journalist and poet.When Walt Whitman first appeared as a poet, his arrival onto the American literary scene was met with controversy. His first collection of poems, Leaves of Grass, was so unusual that no commercial publisher would print the work. In 1855 Whitman published, at his own expense, the first edition of his collection of twelve poems.Whitmans poetic style was uncommon. He wrote poems in a form called parallelism(对句法), in which his goal was to copy the flow of the sea and the quickly-passing nature of human emotion. A common theme in Whitmans poetry is self-realization. In his work, Whitman moves from conventional patterns of rhyme to create a unique rhythm and a multi-layered, but truly American voice.“Although Whitman was considered a revolutionary by many, there is little doubt he loved his country deeply.” In his writing, he used slang and various images, or voices, to create a sense of national unity.For Whitman, the “proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.” Whitman has undoubtedly become a part of the cultural history and image of America.25. Paragraph 2 mainly talks about _.A. how Whitman became a poet B. Whitmans educationC. Whitmans early career D. why Whitmans poems were popular26. When Whitman first appeared as a poet, _.A. his poetic style was copied by other poets B. he became famous for his unusual style 5C. he received a warm welcome D. his literary road was not easy27. What was Whitmans greatest literary contribution?A. He used slang to show his love for his country.B. He created a unique rhythm and an American voice.C. He showed that flow of the sea in his poems.D. He expressed human emotion in his writing.C CThere have been many great inventions that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important todaythe wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances. For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People did not have to explore much anymore. They began to work instead to make life better. In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Movies with sound in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over disease. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live longer lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60. By this time most people had a very good life.Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space. In 1969 man took his biggest step away from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning, though.New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.1. Why did the world start to change in the early 1800s? A. Because there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel for hundreds of years.B. Because people began to work to make life better instead of exploring unknown world.C. Because there was little unknown land left in the world.6D. Because people did not have to explore much anymore.29. In Paragraph 2, the word “They” in the sentence “They worked very well” refers to _.A. helicopters, computers, jet planes, nylon B. new materialsC. new ways to help people get over disease D. people30.Why did man have a desire to explore again? A. Going into space is a dream for man to realize.B. Man wanted to move to other stars.C. Other countries wanted to follow Russia.D. Other countries wanted to catch up with America.第二节第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Venice is one of the most beautiful cities of the world.
