    A
    In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life of death. The time chosen for the call communications its importance.
    In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life. For example, if people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the A.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
    41. If one makes a telephone call at dawn, this would mean ____.
    A. the matter is of value            B. the matter is somewhat important
    C. the matter requires attention      D. it is a matter of life or death
    42. According to the passage, time plays an important role in ____.
    A. everyday life      B. school life   C. communications   D. private life
    43. According to the passage, the author of the article may agree that ____.
    A. it is not appropriate to send your invitation cards only three or four days before a dinner party date in U. S. A.
    B. it is impolite to be prompt
    C. it is best for one to make telephone calls at night because it costs much less
    D. if one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology
    44. The best title for this passage is “ ____”.
    A. Time and tide wait for no man             B. The importance of time     
    C. The importance of an announcement        D. The voices of time

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
    A handsome middle­aged man walked quietly into the cafe and sat down. Before he ordered，he couldn’t help but notice a group of younger men at the table next to him. It was obvious they were making fun of something about him and it wasn’t until he remembered he was wearing a small pink ribbon(丝带) on the lapel of his suit that he became aware of what the joke was all about.
    The man pretended not to notice it，but the whisper and laughter began to get to him. He looked one of the rude young men straight into the eye，placed his hand beneath the ribbon and asked，“This？”
    With that the young men all began to laugh out loud. The man he spoke to said，“Hey，sorry，man, but we were just commenting on how pretty your little pink ribbon looks against your blue jacket！”
    The middle­aged man calmly invited the joker to come over to his table, and politely seated him. As uncomfortable as he was, the young guy had to, not really sure why. In a soft voice，the middle­aged man said, “I wear this ribbon to bring awareness about breast cancer. I wear it in my mother’s honor.”
    “Oh, sorry. She died of breast cancer？”
    “No, she didn’t. She’s alive and well. But her breasts nourished me as a baby，and were a soft resting place for my head when I was scared or lonely as a little boy. I’m very grateful for my mother’s breasts, and her health.”
    “Umm,” the young replied “yeah.”
    “And I wear this ribbon to honor my wife” the man continued.
    “And she’s okay, too？”the young guy asked.
    “Oh, yes. She’s fine. Her breasts have been a great source of loving pleasure for both of us，and with them she nurtured and nourished our daughter 23 years ago. I’m grateful for my wife’s breasts，and her health.”
    “Uh, huh. And I guess you wear it to honor your daughter, also？”
    “No. It’s too late to honor my daughter by wearing it now...”
    Shaken and ashamed，the young guy said, “Oh, I’m so sorry，mister.”
    “So, in my daughter’s memory, too, I proudly wear this little ribbon, which allows me the opportunity to enlighten others. And here...”With this，he reached in his pocket and handed the young man a little pink ribbon. The young guy looked at it, slowly raised his head and asked, “...？”
    51．The young men joked about the middle­aged man’s________.
    A．looks       B．ribbon      C．attitude     D．clothes
    52．What may have happened to the man’s daughter?
    A．She died of breast cancer.                B．She was ill with cancer.
    C．She had gone abroad.                    D．She got married.
    53．What will the young man probably ask at the end of the story?
    A．May I give it to my mother?           B．Can you help me put it on?
    C．Will you please forgive me?            D．Shall we have some drink together?
    54．What is the best title for the passage?
    A．An Unusual Meeting               B. An Impressive Lesson

    第三部分：阅读理解（共16小题；每小题1.5分，满分24分）

    阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。  

    You’ve no doubt heard people say how much they “need” a holiday, when what they really mean is that they want one. Certainly, people working under pressure feel a very strong desire to escape from work and become less tight during holidays, and experience a changed environment.

    However, work for many people today is office work and mental, rather than physical tasks. These people may seek much more energy-taking activities while on holiday, rather than simply lying on a beach. 

    Once people become used to going on holiday, taking holidays becomes a habit. For many people the holiday is one of the last things to be given up, and indeed many workers have chosen to spend some of their last pay when being on holiday. It may give them a “lift” in facing some difficulties in life.

    Most of us also enjoy showing off the lovely tans --- dark skins we get from a holiday. So many tourists are now able to afford holidays in the sun that tans have become quite common; although we join a tan together with health, it has been fully shown that too much sunshine will result in high danger of skin problems, as well as drying out one’s skin and leading to more lines on your face later in life.

    56.According to the passage above, more and more people choose to have holidays because they __________.

    A. love working outdoors all the time    

    B. want to get away from work

    C. love enjoying the beauties of nature   

    D. become rich and want a better life

    57. When office people have holidays, they often _________ .

    A. lie on the beach and enjoy sunshine  

    B. spend more than they can afford

    C. think about their work on the beach  

    D. choose to do more physical exercise

    58 The word “lift” in the last sentence of the third paragraph may _______  

    A. cheer someone up                

    B. help someone find a job

    C. be the last thing not to be given up   

    D. bring good luck to someone

    59 At the end of the passage the writer tries to tell the reader _________.

    A. the importance of getting sunshine   

    B. the bad effect of being on holiday

    C. the result of getting sun tanned

    D. the healthy look of being tanned
