People enjoy talking about “firsts”. They like to remem

14、ber their first love or their first car. But, not all first are their happy ones. Few people enjoy recalling the firsts that are bad.装 订 线 内 不 要 答 题 One of bad but important firsts was the first car accident. Autos(汽车) were still young when it happened. The crash took place in New York City. The yea

15、r was 1896. The month was May. A man from Massachusetts was visiting the city in his new car. At the time, bicycle riders were still get used to the new set of wheels on the road. No one is sure who was at fault. In any case, the bike and the car collided. The man on the bike was injured. The driver

16、 of the car had to stay in prison and wait for the hospital report on the bicycle rider. Luckily the rider was not killed. Three years later, another automobile accident took place.

20、. traveled in the same directionPassageTwo Ironically in the United States, a country of immigrants, prejudice and discrimination continue to be serious problems. There was often tension between each established group of immigrants and each succeeding group. As each group became more financially suc

21、cessful, and more powerful, they excluded newcomers from full participation in the society. Prejudice and discrimination are pert of our history; however, this prejudice treatment of different groups is nowhere more unjust with black Americans. Blacks had distinct disadvantages. For the most part, t

22、hey came to the “ land of opportunity” as slaves and they were not free to keep their heritage and cultural traditions. Unlike most European immigrants, blacks did not have the protection of a support group; sometimes slave owners separated members of the same family. They could not mix easily with

23、the established society either because of their skin color. It was difficult for them to adapt the American culture. Even after they became free people, they still experienced discrimination in employment, housing, education, and even in public facilities, such as restrooms.装 订 线 内 不 要 答 题26. Prejud

A. favorableB. praisingC. indifferentD. sarcasticPassageThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.When families gather for Christmas dinner,

28、some will stick to formal traditions dating back to Grandmas generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday-best. But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware (粗陶) -and-stainless informality, with dresse

29、s assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells economic hard times. Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is eliminating 1,000jobs - one-fifth

30、 of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4,000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷)region. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier. Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs in Stoke have their roots i

31、n earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in front of televisio

32、n; Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that its better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a real dinner party. Too often,

33、 the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish the silver? Who has time? Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette (礼节)that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction fromparents and grandparents (

34、Chew with your mouth closed. Keep your elbows offthe table.) must be picked up elsewhere. Some companies now offer etiquetteseminars for employees who may be competent professionally but clueless socially.31.

35、 shrinking of the pottery industryC. restructuring of large enterprisesD. economic recession in Great Britain32. Which of the following may be the best reason for casual dining?A.

The main cause of the l

37、ayoffs in the pottery industry is_.A. the increased value of the poundB. the economic recession in AsiaC. the change in peoples way of lifeD. the fierce competition at home and abroad35.

38、sionsB. are bound to return sooner or laterC. are still being taught by parents at homeD. can help improve personal relationshipsPassageFourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.An election year is one I which all four numbers are evenly divisible by four (1944, 1940, etc.). Since 18

39、40, American presidents elected in years ending in zero have destined to die in office. William H.
