Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. Drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well. Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to “push back”, just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be .If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly looking person and say, “I am a stranger here. Can you help me?” Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.

1.Many people who first visit the United States will find that _______.

A、 America is a highly developed country

B、 American city people seem to be always in a rush

C、 the fast pace in American life often causes much trouble

D、 Americans are impatient and unfriendly people

2.When the author says “You will miss smile”, he means ___________.

A、 you will fail to notice that Americans are pleasant and happy

B、 you will be puzzled why Americans do not smile at you

C、 you will feel that Americans do not seem very friendly

D、 you will find that Americans don't have much sense of humor

3.In the author’s opinion, ___________.

A、 it is true that life in New York is much faster than that in any other city

B、 people living outside big cities are lazy and miserable

C、 most American people enjoy living in the suburbs of big cities

D、 those who are busy are not necessarily unfriendly

4.The life pace in cities is much ___________ than the one outside cities.

A、 faster

B、 slower

C、 happier

D、 sadder

5.If you say to an American that you are a stranger there, most probably he will _________.

A、 offer his help

B、 stop smiling at you

C、 help you find the way

D、 reply that he is pleased to meet you

  • 第1题:

    It's said that he's looking for a new job, one_________ he can get more free time.

    A.when
    B.where
    C.that
    D.which

    答案:B
    解析:
    考查定语从句。one是a newjob的同位语,同时one是先行词,后面是个定语从句,由于定语从句he can get more free time不缺少任何成分,说明空格处在从句中作状语,需要用where引导,意为“从新工作中获得更多的自由时间”。如果选which的话,应该是one(a job)from which he can get more free time,故选B。

    Highways in the US

    of the world.

    _________(52)
    A:little
    B:few
    C:much
    D:many

    答案:B
    解析:
    根据后面的“a direct route is not always...”可知,这里需要表示让步的连词。
    Although引导的状语从句说的都是公路好的、有利的方面,道路上急弯少也是有利的方 面。弯道是可数名词,所以选B。
    前面的状语从句说的是公路好的、有利的方面,但后面的语气一转,提到“一条直的路 线并不总是令人愉快的”。所以选C。
    pass by是固定搭配,意为“经过”,符合句意。pass to意为“转到”;pass into意为“变 成”;pass over意为“忽略”。
    该句的意思是:这些公路一般都连接着大城市中心。connect意为“连接,相连”,符合 句意。
    heavy traffic是“交通拥挤”的意思,符合句意。
    此句意思是:如果你不着急,几乎总能有另一条路可走。almost意思是“几乎,差不多”, 符合句意。
    空格后是形容词new,该空格处应填副词。后面句子中的older是比较级,所以new也 应有比较的意思。所以选A。
    在此空格前出现比较级“older",本空格与“older”为并列成分,也应为比较级。根据句 意“通往乡村的路一般情况一下不会出现交通阻塞”,所以选择一含有否定意义的“less”最为恰当。
    后面有others,表示“另一些”,则此空应表示“一些”。故选D。
    drive驾驶;cross穿过;curv。沿曲线行进;travel通过,旅游。这里句子的意思是“这些道 路,有些是平坦的双车道,有些则不平坦,蜿蜒经过乡下”。故选C。
    空前的意思是:这些辅线可以爬上陡峭的斜坡。。从上下文看,爬上陡峭的斜坡必然沿 着悬崖延伸,而不可能沿着岩石、大道或小路延伸。
    lying意思是“坐落”,lying是lie的现在分词形式。
    这是一个定语从句,关系副词where引导的句子修饰先行词places。
    此句的意思是“有机会欣赏到人间清新、洁净的景色”。view意为“景色”,符合句意。

    _________(53)
    A:little
    B:few
    C:much
    D:many

    答案:B
    解析:
    连接词辫析。although,尽管,since , because , therefore表示原因。本句话是指“尽管笔直、宽阔的现代化公路很好,但是这样的公路并不一直让人满意”,有转折的意思,所以选A。
    词汇搭配题。" stable(稳定的)“、 " splendid(杰出的)”和“complicated(复杂的)”一般不能用来修饰“roads"。
    由于后面提到了“direct route",可见指的是很少急转弯的公路,所以选择修饰可数名词的“few",表达较少的意思。
    根据上下文,如果高速公路总是保持笔直,对于驾驶者来说是没有什么乐趣而言的,因此正确答案为“enjoyable"。
    介词“by”和动词“pass"搭配表示“经过,逝去的”意思,其他三个词搭配错误。
    副词“furthermore”表明它是对上一句的补充,即高速公路不仅经过景区和乡村,往往还把庞大的都市中心区连接起来,所以选B。
    词语搭配题。表达“交通拥挤”时,用“heavy”来修饰“traffic"。
    前面提到了“rush hours " (交通高峰期),后面跟的是一个非限定性定语从句,选项中只有“when”可以作表示时间的引导词。
    从上下文判断,此句应该是条件句,即如果你不着急,还有“always another route to take(另外一条路可选)",因此选项B正确。
    根据主句中的“older……roads”可推断此空需要填一个比较意义的副词,以构成对比关系。relatively“相应地,相对地”为正确答案。其他三个词的意思分别为:regularly“有规律地,定期地”; respectively“各自地”; reasonably“有理由地”。
    根据此空前后词及结构可断定此空应使用比较级,故可排除选项A和D。另外,根据上下文可推测此空应为“less",因为“more heavily traveled”意为“车辆拥挤的”公路,与常识不符。
    从下文的“others'‘可知此空正确答案为选项D。
    根据上文的“slopes”和下文的“hillsides”就可以断定这里需要一个表示路况不好的词,选项A (rocks)意义不符,故只有B( cliffs)“悬崖”为正确答案。
    根据题目和选项可断定此空应为“towns”的后置定语,由此可猜测句义为“位于深谷中的城镇”, lie是“位于”,是不及物动词,不能以过去分词的形式出现作名词的后置修饰语,故正确答案为“lie”的现在分词形式“lying"。
    定语从句修饰地方时用“where”来引导。

    解析:
    连接词辫析。although,尽管,since, because, therefore表示原因和结果。本句话是指“尽管笔直、宽阔的现代化公路很好,但是这样的公路并不一直让人满意”,有转折的意思,所以选A。
    词汇搭配题。"stable(稳定的)”、"splendid(杰出的)”和“complicated(复杂的)”一般不能用来修饰“roads" 。

    根据上下文,如果高速公路总是保持笔直,对于驾驶者来说是没有什么乐趣而言的,因此正确答案为“enjoyable"。
    介词“by”和动词“pass"搭配表示“经过,逝去”的意思,其他三个词搭配借误。
    副词“furthermore”表明它是对上一句的补充,即高速公路不仅经过景区卜乡村,往往还把庞大的都市中心区连接起来,所以选B。
    词语搭配题。表达“交通拥挤”时,用“heavy”来修饰“traffic"。
    前面提到了“rush hours"(交通高峰期),后面跟的是一个非限定性定语从了,选项中只有“when”可以作表示时间的引导词。

    根据主句中的“older ...roads”可推断此空需要填一个比较意义的副词,以构成对比关系。relatively“相应地,相对地”为正确答案。其他三个词的意思分别为:regularly“有规律地,定期地”;respectively“各自地”;reasonably“有理由地”。
