He was a great chatter 48 . If he did not know them , he would greet them with a few 49 about the weather , 50 he did , he would ask about their families or make 51 , always cutting his cloth 52 his customers . Whatever their bills came to , be 53 gave them back the few odd pence (零钱), and I am sure they thought he was very generous (慷慨). But I thought he was the opposite . He never 54 anything away .

36.B
解析：通读全文后我们可知作者是水果店里的一名店员，故选B。
37.A
解析：从下文可知水果店的老板很会做生意，后文是从他如何会做生意的角度谈起的，所以我们不能选择其他几项。
38.D
解析：文中说道老板的大多数买家主要是街坊邻居的家庭主妇们，但是也有经常开着车来得常客。选but表示和前文的转折关系。
39.B
解析：短语know sb by name的意思是“只知道某人的名字。”在这里作者说的是Mr Breen虽然有这些开着车来得常客，可是他也只是能叫出他们的名字而已。
40.C
解析：联系上下文可知：有些这种常客甚至早早下好订单，常常让我把水果给他们送到车上。A、B
解析：两项后面应该省略to，keep sb to do没有这个结构。
41.D
解析：上句说到：很明显他们都是这儿的长客，所以我猜想他们对他很放心，很信任。而不是“希望”，“坚持”，或“宣告”。
42.C
解析：这种默契是因为老板承诺会卖给他们优质的水果。前后是一种因果关系。
43.B
解析：水果店里自然卖的应该是水果，所以选B。
44.A
解析：作者不得不承认老板有一种独特的经营手段。其余几项均和题意不符。
45.D
解析：madam在这里是对女子的敬称，对于已婚未婚者均可使用，通常用于不相识者。一般人多用它来指已婚女子，故而在作者看来“即使”一些明显未婚女子他也会用madam去称呼她们。
46.B
解析：虽然他这样称呼她们，可是却并不让人觉得那是一种奉承。故选B。
47.C
解析：这种叫法是一种“礼貌”的叫法，只是人们现在已经不这样叫了。选C。
48.A
解析：老板不仅在礼貌方面很注意，而且还是一位健谈者。
49.C
解析：老板很健谈，如果遇到不熟悉的人，他会跟他们说说天气去搭话。
50.D
解析：即便是他熟悉的人，他也会和他们说上几句，说他们的家庭，或者“开玩笑。”所以选D
解析：项符合题意。
51.B
解析：短语make jokes意思为“开玩笑”。
52.A
解析：在这里作者想表达的意思是老板总是会见到什么人说什么话，左右逢源。文中的这个短语可以让我们联想到我们生活中常见的一个短语cut one’s coat according to one’s cloth” 量力而行，量入为出。”
53.D
解析：文中提到老板很会做生意，他在收钱时，总会免去应收的零头，以此来让顾客觉得他很慷慨。
54.C
解析：作者想说其实老板是一个并不大方的人，他从不乱扔东西，在这里只有短语threw away符合作者的写作意图。
55.A

In many homes, divorce is caused by the “battle between the sexes.” To understand the problem, one must remember that the modern American woman is freed. During childhood and adolescence(青少年期), the American girl is given freedom and education which is equal to a boy's. After completing school, she is able to get a job and support herself. She doesn't have to marry for financial security. She considers herself an independent, self-sufficient person. She wants a husband whom she can respect, but she doesn't want to be dominated(控制) by him. She wants a democratic household in which she has a voice in making decisions. When a husband and wife are able to share decisionmaking, their marriage is probably closer, stronger, and more satisfying. Otherwise, the couple is likely to wind up in the divorce court.
When a couple gets divorced, the court usually requires the man to pay his former wife a monthly sum of money. If the couple has children, they usually remain with the mother, and the father is expected to pay for their support.
Although divorce is quite common in the United States, 80 percent of those who get divorced remarry. The remarriages allow thousands of people, especially children, to enjoy family life again, but at the same time many troubles have arisen. A well-known American joke tells of a wife calling to her second husband, “Quick, John! Come here and help me! Your children are beating up our chidlren!”
What causes most of the divorce cases in the U.S.A.?
A.Financial trouble in the family.
B.Women's liberation movement.
C.Different attitudes towards children's education.
D.Lack of democratic atmosphere in the household.
What do you know of modern American women, according to the passage?
A.They are overbearing and hardworking.
B.They are more independent than ever.
C.They do not have much say in the household.
D.They respect their husbands, but do not rely on them.
What kind of marriage can be successful?
A.Both the man and woman are financially secure.
B.Husband and wife share housework.
C.Both the man and woman are well-educated.
D.Decisions are made by the man and woman together.
What happens when a couple is divorced, according to the passage?
A.The children become homeless.
B.The man is still responsible for the welfare of his children.
C.Life becomes difficult for the woman and her children.
D.The man, rather than the woman, remarries soon.

Chinese politeness have always been formal to follow strict rules, although sometimes Chinese people seem to be impolite according to Western standards in public places. To well understand Chinese, some concepts should not be ignored.
Mianzi
The idea of shame, usually expressed as 'face' could be loosely defined as the 'status' or 'self-respect' in Chinese and by no means alien to foreigners. It is the worst thing for a Chinese to lose face. Never insult, embarrass, shame, yell at or otherwise demean a person. Since all these actions would risk putting a Chinese in a situation that he might lose face, neither try to prove someone wrong nor shout at him in public. In order to get a successful effect without letting a Chinese lose face, any criticism should be delivered privately, carefully, or else, just opposite to what you wish.
Guanxi
Throughout much of Chinese history, the fundamental glue that has held society together is the concept of guanxi, relationships between people. It is very important for the Chinese to have good relationships. They often regard good social relations as a symbol of personal ability and influence. Someone who has no connections would be disrespected and is only half-Chinese.
Keqi
Keqi not only means considerate, polite, and well mannered, but also represents respect and modesty. It is impolite to talk too proudly about oneself or one's inner circle. The expression is most often used in the negative, as in buyao keqi, meaning "you shouldn't be so kind and polite to me," or "you're welcome."
Besides, Chinese seldom express what they think directly and they prefer a roundabout way. Neither show their emotions and feelings in public. They rarely greet people with a handshake, though it is very popular among foreigners, and say nothing of embracing or kissing when greeting or saying good-bye. Consequently, it is better not to behave too carefree in public, even though you are well-intentioned. Also, it is advisable to be fairly cautious in political discussions. Do not particularly push yourself forward, or else you are unwelcome.
To sum up, do in Rome as Rome does, but you need not worry about these cultural barriers since most Chinese are hospitable and friendly and will not mind your no accomplishment.
【小题1】In most Chinese’s eyes, the fundamental glue holding society together is the idea of ____.
| A．relationships between people | B．influences upon others |
| C．dependence on others | D．kindness to others |
| A．respectful | B．happy | C．shameful | D．weak |
| A．It is impolite to insult, embarrass, shame or shout at a person. |
| B．It is polite that you should bring gifts to others when invited to dinner. |
| C．It is necessary to show your character of being considerate, polite, and well mannered. |
| D．It is important for the Chinese to have good relationships between people. |
| A．Caution is the parent of safety. | B．Many hands make light work. |
| C．There’s no smoke without fire. | D．If you are elsewhere, live as they do there. |

A small group of people around the world have started implanting(移植) microchips to link the body and the computer.
Mr. Donelson and three friends, who had driven 100 miles from their homes in Loekport, New York, to have the implants put in by Dr Jesse Willemaire, whom they had persuaded to do the work, are part of a small group, about 30 people around the world, who have independently put in microchips into their bodies, according to Web-based reports.
At a shop William Donelson was having a four-millimeter-wide needle put into his left hand. “I’m set,” he said with a deep breath. He watched as the needle pierced(刺穿) the fleshy webbing between his thumb and a microchip was set under his skin. At last he would be able to do what he had long imagined; strengthen his body’s powers through technology.
By putting the chip inside—a radio frequency identification device (RFID)—Mr. Donelson would have at his fingertips the same magic that makes safety gates open with a knock of a card, and bridge and tunnel traffic flow smoothly with an E-Zpass. With a wave of his hand he plans to connect with his computer, open doors and unlock his car.
Implanting the chip was relatively simple task but very meaningful to Mr. Doneselson, a 21-year-old computer networking student so interested in the link between technology and the body that he has data-input jacks(数据输入插空) inside his body. They might lead to an imagined future when people can be connected directly into computers. His new chip is enclosed in a glass container no bigger than a piece of rice and has a small memory where he has stored the words “Technology”.
Some doctors have done the piercing in people’s homes, and others have implanted chips in their offices after patients signed forms showing the fact that long-term studies have not been done on their safety. Piercers treat the implants much like any other medical operation steps, instructing people to keep the site dry, and advising them that swelling(肿) and redness should last a week.
69. With a RFID implanted, which of the following will Mr. Donelson be able to do?
Make a safety gate open with a knock of a card.
Make bridge and tunnel traffic flow smoothly with an E-Zpass.
Open doors and unlock his car with a wave of his hand.
Turn his body and brain directly into computers.
70. The underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to “___________”.
A. glass containers B. implanted computer chips
C. data input jacks D. computer and net working students
71. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. High Tech, Under the Skin B. A Needle, So Magic
C. Donelson, a Powerful Man D. Data-input Jacks, Inside the Body
72. We can conclude from the passage that __________________.
Mr. Donelson has made a large sum of money by the piercing.
the Piercers are people working in the computer field
the piercing has no side effect and it will make people intelligent
the long term effects of these implants are not yet known
