4.I came to study in the United States a year ago.Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.
    After the accident.my roommate called a doctor for me.I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day.But the next day,he asked me to pay him  200 for what he had done.I was astonished.He had good reason to charge me,he said.And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury,I'd have to have a good lawyer.And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer.Now that he had helped me find a good doctor,it was only fair that I should pay him.
    But every day I went to see the doctor,I had to wait about 50 minutes.He would see two or three patients at the same time,and often stop treating one so as to see another.Yet he charged me  115 each time.The final examination report consisted of ten lines,and it cost me  215.
    My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met.But after that he avoided seeing me at all.He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident,yet he hardly did anything.He simply waited to collect his money.He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him.And he made me pay him  770.
    Now I had to act as my own lawyer.Due to my inexperience,I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America.Knowing that,they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.
21.The author's rommate offered to help him becauseB.
A.he felt sorry for the author
B.he thought it was a chance to make some money
C.he knew the doctor was a very good one

A.be properly treated
B.talk with the person responsible for the accident
C.recover before he leaves America
D.eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury
23.The word"charge"in the third paragraph meansC.
A.be responsible     
B.a(chǎn)ccuse     
C.a(chǎn)sk as a price   
D.claim
24.Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are veryB.

C.professional  
D.busy.

分析 通過經(jīng)歷車禍,室友幫忙卻為了錢,和不負(fù)責(zé)任、唯利是圖的醫(yī)生和律師,讓我看到了在美國,人情的淡薄、沒有職業(yè)道德和金錢至上的社會現(xiàn)象.

解答 21.B 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第二段第三句But the next day,he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done."(第二天,因為他之前為我做的,他向我要了200美元.)故該題正確答案為B.
22.D 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第二段倒數(shù)第三句And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury,I'd have to have a good lawyer.And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer."(如果我想得到那個應(yīng)該為我的傷負(fù)責(zé)的人的賠款的話,我就必須有個好律師,而只有一個好醫(yī)生才能幫我有個好律師.)這句話所體現(xiàn)的邏輯關(guān)系告訴讀者有一位好醫(yī)生是能獲得責(zé)任方賠償?shù)幕镜摹⒈匾臈l件.故正確答案為D.
23.C 判斷題. A.be responsible"負(fù)責(zé)任"; B.a(chǎn)ccuse"控告;指責(zé)"; C.a(chǎn)sk as a price"要價"; D.claim"索款(作為保險金、賠償、增薪等);聲稱",該題推測謂語charged的語意.根據(jù)上文可知其主語he指代the doctor(那位醫(yī)生),賓語為雙賓:我、115美元.所以該處charged語意應(yīng)為"要價",故正確答案為C.
24.B細(xì)節(jié)題. A.friendly"友好的"; B.selfish"自私的"; C.professional"專業(yè)的"; D.busy"忙的",通過文章倒數(shù)第三段和倒數(shù)第二段對我所請的醫(yī)生和律師工作情況的描述可知,他們唯利是圖而且無所作為.故正確答案為B

點評 本文是一個人生感悟類閱讀理解,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).

18.My Journey to Lhasa
At the age of fifty-five,Alexandra David-Neel walked for four months across the high mountains of the Himalayas(61)withlittle food or money.She(62)willingly(willing) suffered the tough travel(63)conditions(condition) to reach her goal and finally,in 1924,became the first European woman ever to enter Lhasa,the capital of Tibet.Lhasa is very difficult to get to,and some people call it"The Roof of The World"."My Journey to Lhasa"is the true account of David-Neel's extraordinary journey,(64)which is even more remarkable because at that time,foreigners,especially foreign women(65)were forbidden(forbid) to enter Lhasa.To hide (66)herself(she),she wore the clothes of a beggar.Her book is a good (67)introduction(introduce) to Tibet.Readers will love her descriptions of the people she met along the way.David-Neel was (68)fluent(fluency) in Tibetan dialects and knew the culture there,so it was easy for her to get to know the people.
"My Journey to Lhasa"(69)gives(give) a real feeling for Tibet and the people there.It is a great book if you want to visit Tibet,or if you just like a good story.This book,first (70)published(publish) in 1927,is well worth reading.

15.I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (大牧場).He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events.The last time I was there he introduced me by saying:"I want to tell you a story.It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a mobile horse trainer who would go from stable to stable,race track to race track,farm to farm and ranch to ranch,training horses.As a result,the boy's high school career was continually interrupted.When he was a senior,he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
"That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch.He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch with much information of all the buildings,the stables and the track.Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.
"He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher.Two days later he received his paper back.On the front page was a large red F with a note that read,‘See me after class.'
"The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked,‘Why did I receive an F?'The teacher said,‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you.You have no money.You come from a mobile family.You have no resources.Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.You have to buy the land.You have to pay for the original breeding stock (種馬) and later you'll have to pay a large amount of money.There's no way you could ever do it.'Then the teacher added,‘If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal,I will reconsider your grade.'
"The boy went home and thought about it long and hard.He asked his father what he should do.His father said,‘Look,son,you have to make up your own mind on this.However,I think it is a very important decision for you.'Finally,after a week,the boy turned in the same paper,making no changes at all.He stated,‘You can keep the F and I'll keep my dream.'"
Monty then turned to the assembled group and said,"I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch.I still have that school paper on the wall."He added,"The best part of the story is that two years ago that same schoolteacher brought 30kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.When the teacher was leaving,he said,‘Look,Monty,I'm sorry now.When I was your teacher,I was something of a dream stealer.During those years I stole a lot of kids'dreams.Fortunately you had strong determination not to give up on yours.'"
"Don't let anyone steal your dreams.Follow your heart,no matter what,"Monty at last concluded.

12.When I agreed to stage-manage my school's production of Guys and Dolls,I had no idea of (71)what a stage manager actually did.Still,I (72)decided(decide) that it would be a(n)(73)interesting(interest)experience,and a way to get involved with theater.Besides,if there was already a director and some technicians to build the sets and run lights,how much could there be (74)left(leave)for a stage manager to do?I figured that I would spend a lot of time (75)on rehearsals(彩排)and scripts(劇本).

19."Indeed,"George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785,"some kind of fly,or bug,had begun to eat the leaves before I left home."But the father of America was not the father of bug.When Washington wrote that,Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century,and Americans had already created lightning-bug(螢火蟲).But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language,leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The American bug could also be a person,referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity.Although fan became the usual term,sports fans used to be called racing bugs,baseball bugs,and the like.
Or the bug could be a small machine or object,for example,a bug-shaped car.The bug could also be a burglar alarm,from which comes the expression to bug,that is,"to install (安裝) an alarm".Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others'conversation.Since the 1840s,to bug has long meant"to cheat",and since the 1940s it has been annoying.
We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design.That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison.In 1878he explained bugs as"little problems and difficulties"that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product.In 1889it was recorded that Edison"had been up the two previous nights discovering‘a(chǎn) bug'in his invented record player."
33.We learn from Paragraph 1thatD.
A.Americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bug
B.George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bug
C.the word bug was still popularly used in England in the nineteenth century
D.both Englishman and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century
34.What does the word"flaw"in the last paragraph probably mean?D
A.Explanation.
B.Finding.
C.Origin.
D.Fault.
35.The passage is mainly concerned withB.
A.the misunderstanding of the word bug
B.the development of the word bug
C.the public views of the word bug
D.the special characteristics of the word bug.
