More than 215 million people now call America “home”, but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. If you look at the names on shop windows, you will see that Americans come from many different lands. The idea that these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become “American”is really not true. In fact, what exists in America is more often a kind of “side-by-side”living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives-such as in schools, business, and sports-but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home. This living “side-by-side’’has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it may cause disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another. However, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands. There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress, food, and social customs in America.Everyone can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States, in churches, music, food, national groups, or newspapers.1. More than 215 million people call America “home”because __________.A. they have their houses thereB. they settle there nowC. they want to make their home thereD. they like that land very much2. “Side-by-side”living style means __________.A. to make friends with native peopleB. to keep their own customs while sharing American ones in certain areasC. the groups of people who live nearbyD. that they get closer to American society3.

Which of the following statements is true?A. They always stick to their own customs and habits.B. “Side-by-side”living style is not suitable.C. They face the society they are not familiar with.D. The advantages coming from the variety of cultures make lifein America colorful.5. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Advantages and Disadvantages.B. Different Customs and Habits.C. Home for the People.D. “Side-by-Side”Living Style in America.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:There is perhaps, no other sport in the world quite so exciting as skiing. For viewers, it is a spectacle of unsurpassed beauty(无与伦比的奇观). For skiers, it is a vivid personal experience, a thrilling test of mind, muscle, and nerves. And more and more, Americans are discovering this thrill for themselves. Not too long ago, skiing had virtually no part in the American sports scene. If it was thought of at all, it was purely as a European sport. Then came the 1932 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, New York. Americans got their first good look at skiing and made for the hills. Today ski trains make regular runs from our cities to the great, white outdoors. Lodges dot the mountain sidesoffering skiers the warmth of their firesides.In addition to joy and excitement, skiing offers other attractions. It is a comparatively inexpensive sport, and, for the young, the art of skiingis often mastered in a very short time.The special thrill of skiing is well described by Buddy Werner. “It is all up to you,”he says. “No teammates can help. You’re alone. It’s you against the snow, the mountains, yourself. You’re a warrior (勇士).”6. What is the author’s main point?A. Skiing, the most exciting sport in the world.B. Skiing, the most inexpensive sport in Lake Placid, New York.C. Skiing, the most popular sport in America.D. Skiing, the most thrilling sport in Europe.7.

Skiing _________.A. has always been popular in AmericaB. has only recently become a popular America n sportC. can never become popular in AmericaD. has only recently become popular in Europe9. In 1932, when the Winter Olympics were held at Lake Placid, _________.A. Americans became enthusiastic about the sportB. Americans saw skiing for the very first timeC.

One of the attractions for young people taking up skiing is that _________.A. they can enjoy the warmth of firesides in the lodgesB. they have teammates while skiingC. the skill of skiing can be mastered in a short timeD. they can later well describe the special thrill of skiing like Buddy WernerQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is opened. For many of us the “cashless society”is not on the horizon-it’s already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do muchmore than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to record or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customersfor promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marking reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazines publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.11. According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to _________.A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishesB. obtain more convenient services than other people doC. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeperD. cash money wherever he wishes to12.

They will arrange for different employees to do different jobs accordingto their abilities and performance.C. They will assign more work for the employees to do.D. They will allow the personnel to do whatever work they want to do.14. The phrase “ring up sales”in Line Two, Paragraph Two, most probablyMeans __________.A. make an order of goodsB. record sales on a cash registerC. call the sales managerD. keep track of the goods in stock15. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.B. Conveniences brought about by computers in business.C. Significance of automation in commercial enterprises.D. Advantages of credit cards in business.Questions 16 to 20 al e based on the following passage：Ours has become a society of employees. A hundred years or so ago only one out of every five Americans at work was employed. Today only one out of five is not employed but working for himself. And when 50 years ago “being employed”meant working as a factory laborer or as a farmhand, the employee of today is increasingly a middle-class person with a substantial formal education, holding a professional or management job requiring intellectual and technical skills. Indeed, two things have characterized American society during these last 50 years: middle-class and upper-class employees have been the fastest-growing groups in our working population-growing so fast that the industrial worker, that oldest child of the Industrial Revolution, has been losing in numerical importance despite the expansion of industrial production.Yet you will find little if anything written on what it is to be anemployee. You can find a great deal of very dubious advice on how to get a job or how to get a promotion. You can also find a good deal of work in a chosen field. whether it be the mechanist’s trade or bookkeeping (会计). Every one of these trades requires different skills, sets different standards, and requires a different preparation. Yet they all have employees hip (雇员身份) in common. And increasingly, especially in the large business or in government, employee ship is more important to success than the special professional knowledge or skill. Certainly more people fail because they do not know the requirements of being an employee than because they do not adequately possess the skills of their trade; the higher you climb the ladder, the more you get into administrative or executive work, the greater the emphasis on ability to work within the organization rather than on technical abilities or professional knowledge.16. It is implied that 50 years ago ___________.A. 80%of American working people were employed in factoriesB. 20%of American intellectuals were employeesC. the percentage of intellectuals in the total work force was almost thesame as that of industrial workersD. the percentage of intellectuals working as employees was not so largeas that of industrial workers17. According to the passage, with the development of modern industry, _____.A. factory laborers will overtake intellectual employees in numberB. there are as many middle—class employees as factory laborersC. employers have attached great importance to factory laborersD. the proportion of factory laborers in total employee population hasDecreased18. The word “dubious”in Line Two, Paragraph Two, most probably means______.A. valuableB. usefulC. doubtfulD. helpful19. According to the writer, professional knowledge or skill is __________.A. 1ess important than awareness of being a good employeeB. as important as the ability to deal with public relationC. more important than employer-employee relationsD. as important as the ability to co-operate with others in the organization20.
