The typical conversation between Americans takes a form that can be called repartee (機(jī)靈的回答) . 1       Speakers take turns frequently,often after only a few sentences have been spoken. " Watching a conversation between two Americans is like watching a table tennis game," a British observer said. "Your head goes back and forth and back and forth so fast that it almost makes your neck hurt."

2       Such people are said to " talk too much". Many Americans have difficulty paying attention to someone who speaks more than a few sentences at a time,as Nigerians,Arabs,and some others do. 3       Americans engage in little ritual interaction (禮節(jié)性的交流) .Only a few ritual greetings are common："How are you?" "I'm fine,thank you. " "Nice to meet you. " and "Hope to see you again."These things are said in certain situations Americans learn to recognize,and,like any ritual greetings,are concerned more with form than with substance. That is,4       ， no matter what the people involved are feeling or what they really have in mind. In many Americans' opinions,5      ，unwilling to show their true natures and ideas.

Americans are generally impatient with long ritual greetings about family members' health―common among Latin Americans―considering them a waste of time.

   A. No one speaks for very long.

   B. the questions are supposed to be asked and the statements are supposed to be made in particular situations

   C. Americans admire being straight,or what they call " getting to the point".

   D. there are only limited number of ritual interactions in American conversations

   E. Americans tend to be impatient with people who take long turns.

   F. Only smart people may speak with the Americans freely.

   G. people who rely heavily on ritual greetings are “too shy" or “ too polite"

美國人的日常談話在談話方式、談話時間、談話內(nèi)容方面都有其自身的獨(dú)特之處。

1. A本段主要講美國人談話時互動頻繁，每個人講話時間不會太長。

2. E后一句提到"這種說太多的人"，故上一句應(yīng)該提到某些說話時間太長的人，所以選E 項。

3. C此處是對本段的回歸和重申：美國人不喜歡說太多，故此處意思應(yīng)該為他們喜歡很直接，直抒胸臆。

4. B本空前面說到"that is",意為"那就是說"，所以此句應(yīng)該填寫跟上句意思較為相似的話。

5. G后句提到他們不愿意展現(xiàn)自己真實的想法和感受，所以G項說他們太害羞比較合理。

Reading can be fun,1       if your speed is not as fast as you'd like it to be. The average reading speed can range from 200 to 350 words per minute,but that speed can vary depending on your reading experience and the materials you are reading. It's also important to understand what you are reading―even when you improve your speed. Here are a few tips to help you become a better reader.

Determine a reading schedule that works for you. You may find that you can't concentrate on the material for more than an hour (or a half hour) . 3      

4       it will slow down your reading speed. If you absolutely don't understand part of the reading selection,go back and review the material later.

   C. but it can also be timeconsuming

There are two dangers to be guarded against in old age. One of these is undue (過度的) absorption (專注) in the past. There is no need to live in memories,in regrets for the good old days,or in sadness about friends who are dead. 1      ,and to things about which there is something to be done.

It is unwise to be too attached to the youth in hopes of sucking vigor from their vitality (活力) . 2      ,they want to live their own lives,and if you continue to be as interested in them as you were when they were young,you are likely to become a burden to them,unless they are cold to you.

I think a successful old age is easier for those who have strong impersonal interests involving proper activities. 3      ,both because they will not believe you,and because mistakes are an essential part of education. But if you are one of those who are incapable of impersonal interests,and you only concern yourself with your children and grandchildren,then you must realize that while you can still give them material services,such as making them an allowance,you must not expect that they will enjoy your company.

4       But in fact the best way is to make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal. An individual human's existence should be like a river―small at first,rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. 5      ,and the banks move back and in the end they become merged (融入) in the sea without any visible break.

The old man who can see life in this way will not suffer from the fear of growing old and death.

   A. Gradually the river grows wider

   B. When your children have grown up

   C. Family will always be the sweetest place.

   D. Some old people are afraid of death.

   E. One's thoughts must be directed to the future

   F. We should change ourselves to suit the world.

   G. It is no use telling children not to make mistakes

Three passions,simple 1 overwhelmingly strong,have governed my life: the longing 2 love,the search for knowledge,and unbearable pity for the 3       ( suffer) of mankind.

I have sought love,first,4       it brings ecstasy. I have sought it,next,because it relieves the terrible loneliness. I have sought it,finally,because in the union of love I have seen,in a mystic miniature (縮影) ，the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is 5        I sought,and though it might seem too good for human life,this is what―at last―I have found.

6       equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this,but not much,I have achieved.

Love and knowledge,so far as they were possible,led upward toward the heaven. But always it brought me 7        to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate (回響) in my heart. Children in famine,victims 8         (torture) by oppressors,helpless old people a hated burden to their sons,and the whole world of loneliness,poverty,and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil,but I cannot,and I too suffer.

This has been my life. I have found it worth living,and would gladly live it again 9        the chance 10         (offer) me.
