第Ⅱ卷 非选择题(共35分)
A
Chinese and Western eating habits are different. In China, the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. It is always polite to let guests or elderly people at the table taste every dish first. But in the West, everyone has his or her own plate of food.
Although there are no strict rules on how to set chopsticks and spoons, there are some things you should never do during a Chinese banquet (筵席).
　Firstly and most importantly, don’t put your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl. Instead, lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when people die, family members give them a bowl full of rice with a pair of chopsticks sticking out upright in it. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it appears that you want someone at the table to die.
Make sure the spout(容器嘴) of the teapot is not facing anyone, as this is impolite. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table.
Don’t tap on your bowl with your chopsticks. Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite. Also, when the food is coming too slow in a restaurant, you should not tap on your bowl. If you are in someone’s home, it is like insulting the cook.
56．What is the difference between Chinese and Western eating habits according to Paragraph 1?
A. In China people are very polite, while in the West people are not so.
B. In China people share the dishes, while in the West people eat separately.
C. In China people use the chopsticks, while in the West people use the knife and fork.
D. None of the above.
57． Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. It is polite to taste the dishes before the guests or the elderly.
B. You can put your chopsticks wherever you want.
C. Never tap on your bowls with the chopsticks during the meal.
D. Teenagers can stick their chopsticks in the rice bowl.
58．The underlined word “insulting” in the last paragraph probably means “_________”.
A. playing jokes on B. laughing at C. treating badly D. looking down upon
59． Why is it impolite to tap on your bowl when you eat in a friend’s home?
A. Because it means that you don’t respect the cook.
B. Because it means that somebody will die.
C. Because tapping on the bowl will bring bad luck.
D. Because it means that your friend is a beggar.
B
I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was only 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the coop. He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to learn responsibility. Then, when I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace. I washed dishes and cooked from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm and then went on to sing until 2:00 in the morning. It wasn’t long before I became known as a singing cook.
I had been rejected so many times by record companies that it was hard not to be discouraged. One night, a woman executive (主管) from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked, and after she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection. A few weeks later, my manager received a phone call — Warner Brothers Records wanted to sign a record deal with me. Soon after, I released my first record in June 1986. It sold over 2 million copies.
My best efforts have gone into every job I’ve ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.
60．Why was the writer once known as a singing cook?
A. Because he was a cook at a country music club.
B. Because he sang for guests while he worked as a cook.
C. Because he often sang while cooking.
D. Because he liked singing better than cooking.
61．________ first recognized his talents and helped to make his career successful.
A. Warner’s brother B. His manager C. His father D. A woman executive
62．What made the writer proud of himself?
A. His ability to live independently.
B. His sense of responsibility in whatever he did.
C. His courage in the face of rejections.
D. His hard work in his early years.
63．The main purpose of the passage is to tell us that _________.
A. one should learn to do all kinds of things when he is young
B. one will succeed if he tries his best to do something well
C. the sense of responsibility plays an important part in one’s life
D. doing all kinds of jobs helps one become more mature
C
Students who want to attend an American college or university must explain how they will pay for their education. They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study. Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live in, which is known as room-and-board. They also need money for books and supplies. And they need money to spend on social activities and other things.
Educational advisers say foreign students should have enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of expenditure. So how much will a year at an American school cost? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot. A leading state university in the Pacific Northwest will serve as an example. The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than $36,000 this year. This major research university currently has 2,600 foreign students from more than one hundred countries. There are many schools that cost less, but also others that cost more. Its web site says the University of Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students. This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level.
The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name someone who will help with payments. These people must send proof from a bank to show that they have the money. Your government or employer may be able to help you pay all or some of the college costs. A good idea is to ask at least eighteen months before you want to start classes in the United States.

64．Who is this speech probably given to?
A. Students who are going to graduate from colleges.
B. Students who are going to college in the US.
C. Students who are going to apply for room-and-board.
D. Students who can’t pay for their college study by themselves.
