18.Restaurants do not include a service charge in the bill,so you should tip(付小費(fèi)) the waiter 15% of the total bill.If service is slow or particularly bad,some Americans will tip only 10%.If service is particularly good,it is appropriate to tip 20%.If service is so bad that you will never eat in the restaurant again,leave two cents.This is a deliberate  insult(羞辱),because it tells the waiter that you don't forget to leave a tip.Tipping is only appropriate in restaurants which offer table service.You do not tip the cashier in a fast food restaurant.
Taxi drivers expect to get a tip equal to 15% of the total fare.If the driver is especially helpful or has got you to your destination more quickly than expected,give a 20% tip.
Hotel bellboys expect a﹩1 tip for helping you with your bags.If you order room service,the tip is included in the bill.Coat checkroom attendants expect﹩1 per coat.Hairdressers and barbers expect a tip of 15% of the bill.Parking attendants expect a﹩1 tip.
Federal regulations prohibit letter carriers from accepting cash gifts in any amount,or gifts worth﹩20 or more from customers.
If you are in doubt,ask whether it is appropriate to tip or whether a tip is included in the bill.
Bribery(賄賂) is not considered appropriate and often illegal.Attempting to bribe a policeman will certainly get you arrested.

64.Which of the following cannot get tipsB?
A.A taxi driver.          B.A policeman.
C.A restaurant waiter.    D.A hotel bellboy.
65.The underlined word"deliberate"in Paragraph 1most probably means"A".
A.intended       B.instant      C.previous     D.careless
66.What's the best title for this textA?
A.Tipping   B.Service   C.Bill   D.Bribery.

分析 本文主要告訴我們?nèi)绾谓o小費(fèi),在一些國(guó)家餐館賬單是不包含服務(wù)員的服務(wù)費(fèi)的,因此需要客人按照總價(jià)的15%來(lái)付服務(wù)員小費(fèi).

解答 64.B  推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段Bribery(賄賂) is not considered appropriate and often illegal.Attempting to bribe a policeman will certainly get you arrested.可推知,警察不能收小費(fèi).
65.A  猜測(cè)詞義題.根據(jù)第一段的第四句Tipping is only appropriate in restaurants which offer table service.可知,如果服務(wù)極差,你以后再也不會(huì)到這個(gè)餐館就餐,那么你給服務(wù)生2美分,是專(zhuān)門(mén)為了羞辱他的.由此可知deliberate在文中表示"故意的",與intended同義.
66.A  主旨大意題.本文主要告訴我們?nèi)绾谓o小費(fèi),因此最佳標(biāo)題為:Tipping.

8.We lived in a very quiet neighborhood.One evening I heard a loud crash in the street.Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks.It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenager daughter Holly practice her driving.
At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck.I enjoyed having it,but I said,"Guy,my heart is not set on that truck.I like it but it is just metal and won't last forever.Never set your heart on anything that won't last."
After hearing the loud noise,the whole family ran outside.My son shouted,"Dad!Dad,Holly crashed your truck."
My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts.Was anyone hurt?Who else was involved?As I ran to the door,I heard a voice in my heart say,"Here is a chance to show Holly what you really love.She'll never forget it."
The accident had occurred in my own driveway.Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle,the family van (搬運(yùn)車(chē)).In her inexperience,she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal.Holly was unhurt physically,but when I reached her,she was crying and saying,"Oh,Dad,I'm sorry.I know how much you love this truck."I held her in my arms as she cried.
Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck.I told her the story.Her eyes moistened(濕潤(rùn)) and she said,"That happened to me when I was a girl.I borrowed my dad's car and ran into a log that had fallen across the road.I ruined the car.When I got home my Dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me."Over 40years later,she still felt the pain of that night.It was a deep wound on her soul.
I remember how sad Holly was the night and how I comforted her.One day,when Holly thinks back on her life,I want her to know that I love her a thousand times more than any piece of property.I repaired the van,but the dent (凹痕) in my truck is still there today.Every day it reminds me of what really matters in my life.

81.Why did the father permit his daughter to drive his truck?(No more than 5words) (2marks)To practice her driving
82.How did the accident happen?(No more than 11words) (3marks)Holly had confused the brakes and the gas pedal
83.What happened to the author's friend after she ruined her dad's car?
(No more than 11words) (2marks)Her father knocked her to the ground and kicked her.
84.What does the writer try to tell us according to the passage?(No more than 10words) (3marks)That love is more important than possessions.

9.Scandinavians may spend a lot of the winter in darkness but they are the happiest people in Europe,according to a study showed this month.Countries like Denmark and Finland scored highest on the study of happiness in Europe carried out by Cambridge University,which also found that the sunny southern countries of Italy.Portugal and Greece got the least joy out of life.
The survey entitled"No Man is an Island"showed that countries where people enjoy time with friends and family and have trust in government and national institutions were more likely to be happy than those living in a sunny dimate.The study rated respondents on their overall sense of happiness and life satisfaction on a scale of 1to 10.
Danes (丹麥人)-who expressed a high level of trust in their politicians and public institutions-came top of the field at 8.3.Italians-who reported lower levels of satisfaction with their national quality of government-came last at 6.49."Italy,Greece,Portugal,Germany and France are reported the lowest levels of happiness while the Scandinavian Countries,Netherlands and Luxembourg are reported the highest,"the study said.
Although Europeans are generally four times wealthier than their fathers and grandfathers,their levels of happiness are either equal to or lower than 40years ago.The study also looked at factors contributing to happiness within countries and surprisingly found that an interest in politics actually increased happiness.
Lead researcher Luisa Corrado said tax cuts and throwing money at social problems appeared to have no effect on the happiness of citizens when compared with government policies which strengthened and supported wider social networks."People are less naive (幼稚的) than one would expect,politicians need to adapted their policies and target specific problems in specific areas,"she said.

D.Websites.

69.What's the writer's attitude to the study?B
A.Subjective.  B.Objective.  C.Pessimistic.  D.Optimistic.
70.Which of the following is TURE according to the passage?D
A.Tax cuts at social problems don't have any effect on the happiness at all.

10.An African-born British scientist received an environment research prize for showing how bees can be used to reduce conflict between people and elephants.Lucy King's work proved that beehive(峰房)"fences"can keep elephants out of African farmers'fields.The animals are scared of bees,which can bite them inside their long noses,and flee when they hear buzzing(蜂鳴聲).
Dr King's work offers an intelligent solution to an age-old challenge,while providing further confirmation of the importance of bees to people and a really clever way of preserving the world's largest land animal for current and future generations.Working in Kenya,Dr King and her team showed that more than 90% of elephants will flee when they hear the sounds of buzzing bees.Afterwards,they also found that elephants produce a special sound to warn their fellows of the danger.They used the findings to construct barriers where beehives are woven into a fence,keeping the elephants away from places where people live and grow food.
A two year project involving 34 farms showed that elephants trying to go through the fences would shake them,disturbing the bees.Later,the fences were adopted by farming communities in three Kenyan districts--who also made increased amounts of money from selling honey.
As Africa's population grows,competition for space between people and elephants is becoming more serious,and there are fatalities on both sides.The same is true in parts of Asia.Sri Lanka alone sees the deaths of all estimated 60 people and 200 elephants each year from conflict.
Lucy King now wants to see whether the Kenyan technique will work in other parts of Africa--and perhaps,eventually,in Asia.
71.The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means the same asC.
A.intelligent solution to an age-old challenge
B.confirmation of the importance of bees to people

②b.Elephants hear the buzzing and run away.
③c.Bees are disturbed and fly out of the beehives.
④d.Elephants trying to enter the farm shake the fences.
A.①a→②b→③c→d④B.①a→④d→c③→b②C.④d→③c→②b→a①D.a(chǎn)①→b②→d④→③c
73.Dr King's solution is described as"intelligent"becauseD.
A.it successfully Keeps elephants out of African farmers'fields
B.the fences Were adopted by farming communities in three Kenyan districts
C.more than 90% of elephants flee when they hear the sounds of buzzing bees
D.it protects crops.produces honey and preserves the dephant at the same time
74.The underlined word"fatalities"in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning toA.
