四、阅读理解

阅读理解：共15小题；每题3分，共45分。

1.Every Chinese-language textbook starts out with the standard phrases (短语) for greeting people;but as an American, I always found myself unable to speak freely when it came to seeing guests off at the door. Just a good-bye would not do, yet that was all I had ever learned from the terrible books. So I would smile and nod,bowing(鞠躬)like a Japanese and searching madly for words that would smooth over the visitor’ s leaving and make them feel they would be welcome to come again. In my unease,I often hid behind the skirts of my Chinese husbandy s kindness. 　　Then finally, listening to others, I began to pick up the phrases that eased relationships and sent people off not only successfully but also skillfully. 　　Partings for the Chinese include a lot of necessary habitual practice. Although I’ m not expected to observe or even know all the rules, as a foreigner, I’ ve had to learn the expressions of politeness and protest (抗议，反对)at a leaving-taking. 　　The Chinese feel they must see a guest off to the farthest possible point-down the flight of stairs to the street below or perhaps all the way to the nearest bus stop. I’ ve sometimes waited half an hour or more for my husband to return from seeing a guest off,since he’ s gone to the bus stop and waited for the next bus to arrive. 　　That’ s very well,but when I’ m the guest being seen off, my protests are always useless. My hostess or host,or both,insists on seeing me down the stairs and well on my way,with my repeating the “Don’t bother (give the trouble) to see me off” at every landing. If I try to go fast to discourage them from following, they are simply out to the discomfort of having to run after me. Better to accept the inevitable(不可避免的). 　　Besides，that’ s going against Chinese custom, because haste ( doing things quickly) is to be avoided. What do you say when you part from someone? “Go slowly. ” Not farewell or Godspeed (祝福)，but “Go slowly”. To the Chinese it means “Take care” or “Watch your step”，or some such caution，but translated literally(照字面地)it means “Go slowly”.It is stated clearly that the writer____.

A.is interested in the Chinese-language textbooks
B.is proud of being able to greet people at the door
C.is unsatisfied with the Chinese-language textbooks
D.is afraid of the standard phrases from the textbooks

2.It can be inferred that the writer ____.

A.speaks Chinese
B.lives in the USA
C.dislikes her husband’ s ways of seeing guests off
D.refuses to follow the Chinese custom of seeing guests off

3.According to the passage all of the following are necessary in the Chinese partings except_____.

A.seeing the guests off to the farthest point
B.protesting again and again
C.running after the guests
D.saying “Go slowly”

4.The Chinese use “ Go slowly” in their partings so as to____.

A.slow down the guests
B.ask the guests to take care
C.wish the guests a happy journey
D.warn the guests of danger on their way home

5.Moods, say the experts, are feelings that are likely to become fixed, having effects on one’ s outlook (way of looking at things )for hours,days or even weeks. That’ s great if your mood is a pleasant one,but a problem if you are sad,anxious,angry or simply lonely. 　　Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out ;sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modem pharmacology (药物学)offers a lot tranquilizers (镇定剂)and anti-anxiety drugs. What many people don’ t realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug methods to make you free from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as drugs,and have the added benefit of being nonpoisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts,don’ t head for the drug store—try the following method. 　　Of all the mood-changing self-help techniques, aerobic exercise seems to be the best cure for a bad mood. “If you could keep the exercise,you’d be in high spirits，’’says Kathryn Lance，author of Running for Health and Beauty. 　　Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compare favorably to drugs as mood-raiser. Physical work such as housework,however，does little. The key is aerobic exercise—running, cycling, walking, swimming, or other repetitive and sustained activities that increase the heart rate and circulation(循环)，and improve the body’s use of oxygen. Do them for at least 20 minutes a time,three to five times a week. What is the main subject of the passage?

A.How to beat a bad mood
B.How to talk bad moods out.
C.How to do physical exercises.
D.How to do aerobic exercise

6.It can be inferred from the passage that_____.

A.when one is in a bad mood,he or she may not work very well
B.the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneself
C.some drugs are more effective than physical exercises
D.taking drugs is at the risk of being poisonous

7.“Feel out of sorts”，as it is used in the second paragraph,could best be replaced by

A.put things in order
B.are in a bad mood
C.search for tranquilizers
D.want a mood-raiser

8.Which of the following best describes the organization of this passage?

A.An exercise and its importance are explained
B.A problem is examined and solutions are given
C.Two different views of a problem are presented
D.Recent developments in medicine are described

9.The ordinary family in colonial North America was primarily concerned with sheer physical survival and beyond that, is own economic prosperity. Thus, children were valued in terms of their productivity,and they assumed the role of producer quite early. Until they fulfilled this role, their position in the structure of the family was one of subordination (从属)，and their psychological needsand capacities received little consideration. 　　As the society became more complex, the status of children in the family and in the society became more important. In the complex, technological society that the United States has become, each member must fulfill a number of personal and occupational roles and be in constant contact with a great many other members. Consequently, viewing children as potentially acceptable members of society means that they are regarded more as people in their own right than as utilitarian organisms. This acceptance of children as equal participants in the contemporary family is reflected in the variety of statutes protecting the rights of children and in the social public welfare programs devoted exclusively to their well-being. 　　This new way of children and the increasing contact between the members of society has also resulted in a great interest in child-rearing techniques. People today spend a considerable portion of their time on the proper way to bring up children. It is now possible to influence the details of the socialization of another person’ s child by spreading the principle of current and fashionable theories and methods of child-rearing. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.The Child as a Utilitarian Organism.
B.The Development of Cultural Values.
C.The Children of Colonial North America
D.The Place of Children in American Society.

10.____Children in colonial North America were mainly valued for their.

A.survival ability
B.physical characteristics
C.productive capacity
D.academic achievements

11.____It can be inferred from the passage that formal schooling in colonial North America was____.

A.highly disciplined
B.generally required by law
C.improperly administered
D.considered relatively unimportant

12.According to the passage, parents have become increasingly interested in____.

A.their children’ s future occupations
B.having smaller families
C.adoption programs for childless couples
D.child-rearing techniques

13.Bill and his family have been living in the same old building for eight years. The landlord (房东)also lives there，and usually all the tenants(房客)get along fairly well with one another. Recently，however, there has been a change in their relations. 　　A nice, quiet old couple used to live there, too. The old lady would sometimes bring some small cakes she made to Biir s mother,who in return would give her some meat or help her with shopping.Unfortunately,the old lady died last month. As her husband couldn’ t live alone,his grandson moved in.The grandson, a youth of about twenty, has become a problem to Bill’ s family because he is so noisy. Biir s family members were used to peace and quiet,but the youth likes to listen to his radio late at night. Sometimes his friends came for a visit,and they also made a lot of noise. Everyone in Bill’ s family has been bothered by the new comer and getting angry. 　　Bill’ s mother once politely asked the old man if he was able to sleep well at night, but it seemed that he didn’ t understand what she meant and so never spoke to his grandson about it. If he did,the grandson apparently didn’ t listen, since things have not changed any. Everyone in Bill’ s family agrees that something has to be done, but no one wants to hurt the old man’ s feelings or cause him any problems. 　　What do you think should be done? Bill’ s family got angry with their neighbor because

A.the old lady died
