20、节5小题；每题2分, 总分值50分第一节：阅读以下短文, 从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最正确选项, 并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。AThe bicycling craze came in when we were just about at the right age to enjoy it. At first even “safety bicycles were too dangerous and improper for ladies to ride, and they had to have tricycles. My mother had (I believe)

21、 the first female tricycle in Cambridge; and I had a little one, and we used to go out for family rides, all together; my father in front on a bicycle, and my poor brother Charles standing miserable on the bar behind my mother. I found it very hard work, pounding(轰隆隆行进) away on my hard tyres; a glor

22、ious, but not a pleasurable pastime.Then, one day at lunch, my father said he had just seen a new kind of tyre, filled up with air, and he thought it might be a success. And soon after that everyone had bicycles, ladies and all; and bicycling became the smart thing, and the lords and ladies had thei

23、r pictures in the papers, riding along in the park, in straw hats.My mother must have fallen off her bicycle pretty often, for I remember seeing the most appalling cuts and bruises(青肿) on her legs. But she never complained, and always kept these accidents to herself. However, the great Mrs. Phillips

24、, our cook, always knew all about them; as indeed she knew practically everything that ever happened. She used to draw us into the servants hall to tell us privately: “Her Ladyship had a nasty fall yesterday; she cut both her knees and sprained her wrist. But dont let her know I told you. So we neve

25、r dared say anything. Similar little accidents used to occur when, at the age of nearly seventy, she insisted on learning to drive a car. She never mastered the art of reversing(倒车), and was in every way an unconventional and terrifying driver. Mrs. Phillips used then to tell us: “Her Ladyship ran i

26、nto the back of a milk-cart yesterday; but it wasnt much hurt; or “A policeman stopped her Ladyship because she was on the wrong side of the road; but she said she didnt know what the white line on the road meant, so he explained and let her go on. Mrs. Phillips must have had an excellent Intelligen

27、ce Service at her command, for the stories were always true enough.41. Women did not ride bicycles at first because _.A. bicycling demanded too much hard workB. bicycling was considered unsafe and unladylikeC. they preferred to ride tricyclesD. tricycles could carry young children as well42. How did

28、 the writer feel about tricycles?A. They were very hard to ride.B. They were safer and more convenient for women.C. They were not as fast as bicycles.D. They were not proper for women to ride.43. Cycling became popular when _.A. the writers father popularised itB. air-filled tyres began to be usedC.

29、 noble people started enjoying itD. newspapers had pictures of cyclists44. The writer admired Mrs. Phillips because _.A. she was the best cook they had ever hadB. she was in command of all the servantsC. she could keep secretsD. she had an outstanding ability to gather information45. The writers mot

30、her always had car accidents because _.A. she could not control the carB. she was very old thenC. she did not understand the road systemD. she behaved too proudlyBBefore meeting with my friend Leticia from Honduras, Central America, I would ask her if she was arriving according to North American tim

31、e or Latin American time. Smiling, she would answer, A la hora Latina, of course. This meant that she would be late. The concept of time is very different for Latin Americans than for North Americans.Life in the United States is fast-paced. There are fast food restaurants, overnight delivery service

32、s, shuttle services, instant cash machines, fast weight loss plans, and even instant minute rice. Keenly following such sayings as, The early bird gets the worm, and, First come, first served, North Americans even have their meals in an efficient manner. Microwaves help warm up their early breakfast

33、s, noon lunches, and five-oclock dinners.Time is money for big businesses. Everyone follows set agendas议事日程. Minutes are taken at meetings that are precisely scheduled. North Americans take pride in juggling busy work schedules and still finding time to spend with family and friends.Latin Americans

34、stroll leisurely through life. They wander past open-air restaurants, across shaded patios tucked behind walls of Bougainvillea. In the cafes, the service is slow but courteous. Outside on the streets, people walk by, not for weight purposes, but to get somewhere. Buses arrive and depart on their ow

35、n schedule, sometimes sooner or later than their printed times. And if you miss the bus, wait. One will come along eventually. Mid-morning breakfasts are homemade. Lunch is around three in the afternoon and dinner could be anytime after the arranged time. No one follows a set agenda, but business is

36、 accomplished at a gradual and comfortable pace. Watches are not followed precisely, and one barely ever hears the question, What time is it?This cultural difference has proven to be a problem for many North Americans visiting Latin American countries and vice versa. For example, this problem has es

37、calated on the issue of adoption. While in Honduras the summer of 1989, I translated for couples from the United States who were looking for children to adopt from Central America. All legal procedures were transacted between a lawyer from the U.S. and a Honduran lawyer. Legal matters on the North A

38、merican end were handled almost immediately. The Honduran lawyer, however, was considerably slower with field work and paper work and was unable to give definite dates or times for the completion of the adoption. This created a cultural barrier and added to the confusion of the situation.Without und

39、erstanding these cultural differences, one could eventually feel offended. Having lived for five years in the Dominican Republic, I am able to understand the two concepts of time but am torn between them. People in the United States, while accomplishing much, need to live less by the clock and strol

40、l through more of their days. Although Latin America can sometimes be very frustrating and remind us that, indeed, patience is a virtue, one should slow down long enough to enjoy lifes simple pleasure. So whenever I am asked, Why are you late? I simply reply, According to whose time?46. Which is pro

41、bably North Americans behavior? A. Walk to the destination even though it is far away. B. Have dinner at 9pm in the evening. C. Plan the meeting time precisely. D. Do business in a slow pace.47. If you invite a Latin American friend for a party at 8p.m., when will he/she be likely to arrive? A. Afte

42、r 8p.m. B. Before 8p.m. C. At 8p.m. D. Not come.48. That the writer gives an example of adoption is to show that _. A. it is impossible for North Americans to adopt a child from Latin America B. Latin American lawyers are incapable C. North Americans and Latin Americans cant work together D. the dif

43、ferent time concepts may cause difficulties in the cooperation between North Americans and Latin Americans49. Whats the writers opinion on North Americans and Latin Americans attitudes towards time? A. North Americans attitude is better. B. Both are good. C. Latin Americans attitude is better. D. Ne

44、ither is good.50. What does the writer want to convey? A. It is important to learn about cultural differences. B. In this fast-pace society, we should learn to slow down and enjoy life. C. Patience is a virtue. D. We need to live by the clock in this competitive society.CGoing to school means learni

45、ng new skills and facts in such subjects as reading, math, science, history, art or music. Teachers teach and students learn, and many scientists are interested in finding ways to improve both the teaching and learning processes.Some researchers, such as Sian Beilock and Susan Levine, are trying to learn about learning. Beilock and Levine are psychologists at the University of Chicago. Psychologists study the ways people think and behave, and these researchers want to know how a persons thoughts and behavior ar
