Food
British people like good food, and more than half of them go to a restaurant every month. Fast food is also very popular---30% of all adults have a hamburger every three months, but 46% have fish and chips!

Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives.
This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe. But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?
Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. Without modem technology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals. When we lack meaningful interaction(交互) with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen。
The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet(出路) for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. We are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.
小題1:The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves     
A．the close connection between man and the fantasy world
B．the wonderful achievements of fantasy literature
C．the fine taste of moviegoers around the world
D．the general existence of the sense of curiosity
小題2:What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?
A．People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy.
B．The world around us could serve as a source of wonder.
C．The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond.
D．Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder.
小題3: If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make-believe, we will     
A．fail to appreciate the joy in our lives
B．be confused by the world of make-believe
C．miss the chance to recognize the fantasy world
D．be trapped by other worlds existing all around us
小題4: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To show us the hidden beauty in our world.
B．To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.
C．To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder.
D．To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe.

About three hundred words in the English language come from the names of people. Many of these words are technical words. When there is a new invention of discovery, a new word may be coined(杜撰) after the inventor or scientist.
It is interesting to observe how many common words have found their way into the language from the names of people. Lord Sandwich, who lived from 1718-1792, used to sit at the gambling(賭博) table eating bread with meat in between. As the Lord was the only one among his friends who ate bread in that way, his friends began to call the bread “sandwich” for fun. Later on，the word became part of the English language.
The word “boycott” means to refuse to have anything to do with somebody or something. It comes from a man called Captain Boycott. He was a land agent in 1880 and he collected rents and taxes for an English landowner in Ireland. But the Captain was a very harsh(苛刻的) man. He treated his poor tenants (佃戶) very badly. His tenants decided not to speak to him at all. Eventually word got back to the landowner and the Captain was removed（免除）. The word “boycott” became popular and was used by everyone to mean the kind of treatment that was received by Captain Boycott.
小題1:A few hundred ___________ come from the names of people.
A．new inventions B．languagesC．English words D．new discoveries
小題2:“Sandwich” is a word coined (杜撰) by ____________.

Visitors to Britain may find the best place to sample local culture is in a traditional pub. But these friendly pubs can be dangerous places of potential gaffes (失禮) for the newcomers. A team of researchers have discovered some of the unknown customs of British pubs-starting with the difficulty of getting a drink. Most pubs have no waiters-you have to go to the bar to buy drinks. A group of Italian youths waiting 45 minutes before they realized they would have to fetch their own. This may sound inconvenient, but there is a hidden purpose.
Pub culture is designed to promote sociability (社交) in a society known for its reserve. Standing at the bar for service allows you to chat with others waiting to be served. The bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which friendly conversation with strangers is considered entirely suitable and really quite normal behavior. “If you haven't been to a pub, you haven't been to Britain.” This tip can be found in a booklet, Passport to the Pub: The Tourists' Guide to Pub Etiquette, a customers' rule of conduct for those wanting to sample “a central part of British life and culture”．
The trouble is that if you do not follow the local rules, the experience may fall flat. For example, if you are in a big group, it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinks. Nothing annoys the regular customers and bar staff more than a group of strangers blocking all access to the bar while they chat and hesitate about what to order.
小題1: The underlined word “sample” in the first paragraph probably means “________”．
A．tasteB．experienceC．testD．record ．
小題2:The culture of pub in Britain is so developed to ______.
A．encourage people to communicate with each other
B．encourage more people to consume drinks
C．a(chǎn)ttract more tourists to the pubs
D．form its own character of culture
小題3:If you don't follow the local rules in a pub, ________.
A．you won't buy good local drinks
B．you may annoy the regular customers and bar staff
C．you may fail to feel the local culture
D．you might get into a dangerous place
小題4:What may be the best title for the passage?
A．Self-service Pubs in BritainB．British Local Pubs: Special Chat Places
C．Local Pub Culture in BritainD．Manners in British Local Pubs

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Everybody hates it, but everybody does it. A recent report said that 40％of Americans hate tipping. In America alone, tipping is a $16 billion-a-year industry. Consumers acting politely ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service. Tips should not exist. So why do they? The common opinion in the past was that tips both rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings of inequality. And also, tipping makes for closer relations. It went without saying that the better the service, the bigger the tip.
But according to new research from Cornell University, tips no longer serve any useful function. The paper analyzes numbers they got from 2,547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants. The connection between larger tips and better service was very weak. Only a tiny part of the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service.
Tipping is better explained, by culture than by the money people spend. In America, the custom came into being a long time ago. It is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip at least l5％ could well mean dissatisfaction from the customers. Hairdressers can expect to get l5％-20％, and the man who delivers your fast food $2. In Europe, tipping is less common. In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on at all. Only a few have really taken to tipping.
According to Michael Lynn，the Cornell papers’ author, countries in which people are more social or outgoing tend to tip more. Tipping may reduce anxiety about being served by strangers. And Mr. Lynn says, “In America, where people are expressive and eager to mix up with others, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. Tipping well is a chance to show off.”
小題1:This passage is mainly about________.
A．different kinds of tipping in different countries
B．the relationship between tipping and custom
C．the origin and present meaning of tipping
D．most American people hate tipping
小題2:Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase “caught on” ?
A．Been hated．B．Become popular．
C．Been stopped．D．Been permitted
小題3:Among the following situations, in your opinion, who is likely to tip most?
A．A Frenchman just quarreled with the barber who did his hair badly in New York.
B．A Chinese student enjoyed his meal in a famous fast food restaurant in New York.
C．A Japanese businessman asked for a pizza delivery from a Pizza Hut in New York.
D．An American just had a wonderful dinner in a well known restaurant in New York.
小題4:We can infer from this passage that________.
A．tipping is no longer a good way to satisfy some customers themselves
B．tipping has something to do with people’s character
C．tipping in America can make service better now
D．tipping is especially popular in New York
