18、king English is not only about using proper grammar, but also about understanding the culture. Here is some important advice to remember when speaking English in the United States.Americans have difficulties understanding foreign accents. Many Americans are not used to foreign accents. This requires

19、 patience from both of you.Talk about places: Americans love to talk about places. When speaking to a stranger, ask them where they come from and then say something about that place. For example: “Oh, I have a friend who worked in Los Angeles. He says its a beautiful place to live in.” Most American

20、s will then willingly talk about their experiences of living in or visiting that city or place.Talk about work: It is common for Americans to ask “What do you do?” Its not considered impolite as in some countries and is a popular topic of discussion between strangers.Talk about sports: Americans lov

21、e sports! However, they love American sports. When speaking about football, most Americans understand “American football”, not soccer.Be careful when expressing ideas about race, religion or other sensitive（敏感的）topics:The United States is a society with different cultures. Americans are very sensiti

22、ve to other cultures and ideas.50. For Americans, the question “what do you do?” is _.A. common B. impolite C. boring D. surprising51. What can we learn about Americans?A.

23、ccept other ideas and cultures easily.52. The writer gives some advice mainly on _.A. talking with AmericansB. working with AmericansC. speaking American EnglishD. understanding American societyCAt the age of sixteen, I went on my first volunteer program in West Virginia to repair or build homes for

24、 poor families. When we arrived, we discovered that the family we were going to help was living in a trailer（拖車式活動房）that was in poor condition, no bigger than two parking spaces. A group of people had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another appeared.We soo

25、n decided that the only way was to build a new house. It was something unusual because normally our goal was to repair old homes. The family was pleased with their new house that was 20 by 30 feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.On Tuesday of that week, I asked the familys three boys, Josh

26、, Eric and Ryan, “What do you want for your new room?” Kids in the families we had helped usually wanted toys or posters, so we were surprised when Josh, the oldest boy said, “We just want beds.” The boys had never slept in a bed. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfec

27、t gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.On Friday when we saw the truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. They were very excited.That afternoon, while we were setting up the beds, Eric ran into the house to watch us

28、with wide eyes. As Maggie, a member of our group, put one of the pillows on the bed, Eric asked, “What is that?”“A pillow,” she replied.“What do you do with it?” Eric went on asking.“When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” Maggie answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the

29、 pillow.“Oh . . . thats soft,” he said, holding it tightly.Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems very urgent（急迫的）, my dad always asks, “Do you have a pillow?” We know exactly what he means.53. Why did the writers group build a new house for the family?A. Because it was their

30、 normal work.B. Because the family asked them to do it.C. Because the trailer could no longer be repaired.D. Because they thought it was a perfect gift for the family.54. What can we learn from the story?A. The family needed two parking spaces.B. The boys of the family wanted toys and posters.C. The

31、 family were excited about the beds and bedding.D. The writers group made some furniture for the family.55. What is the best title for this passage?A. The Pillow B. A New HouseC. The Family D. An Interesting ProgramDSports, drama, and all kinds of organizations keep students busy during high school.

32、 Where do they get the money to do these things? Not everyone gets it from parents. Most have to work for at least some of the money to pay for these activities. Some adults question if high school students should have jobs. I say yes, they undoubtedly should.Some people worry that teens with after-

33、school jobs will have difficulty finding time for schoolwork. Actually, having a job helps teens make better use of their time. Many jobs take only a couple of hours on weeknights. According to an article, 86 percent of high school students have an after-school, weekend or summer job and students wh

34、o work between 10 and 20 hours per week during the school year get higher grades than those who do not work at all. Instead of considering working after school a hindrance, it should be looked at as real-world education.Other people think that work adds too much stress（壓力）, which may be somewhat tru

35、e, but whether having a job or not, there is always stress. Better to learn how to deal with busy schedules（日程表）in a controlled environment like high school than to be out on your own and alone in the future, experiencing stress for the first time. I personally would be worried about the teenager wh

36、o has to become independent without having any experience of working.The biggest reason teens should work is that it is a healthy way of making money. There are many things teens need to pay for and they cannot do it if they dont have a job. Not all parents can pay for these activities. My dad told

37、me, “Having a job is a good way to save up for things you are going to need or want to do. You get a lot more out of things if you pay for them yourself.” The sooner kids make money, the sooner they can learn how to use money wisely. If they are not allowed to work in high school, they may have a ha

38、rd time in the future. Teens should, without a doubt, be allowed to work on school nights.56. The word “hindrance” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”.A. something that encourages teens to studyB. something that helps teens improve studyC. something that prevents teens from studyingD. something that m

39、akes teens lose interest in study57. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Teens are too busy with study to work at high school.B. Teens experience stress for the first time at high school.C. Teens are worried about being independent in the future.D. Teens who work will deal with stress better in th

40、e future.58. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Working makes teens get lower grades.B. Working teaches teens to spend money more wisely.C. Working helps teens to get on better with their parents.D. Working stops teens from taking part in after-school activities.59. What does

41、 the passage mainly talk about?A. What money means to teens.B. Why teens should work after school.C. Whether parents should help teens find jobs.D. How teens get money for after-school activities.七、閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的五個選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有一項為多余項。（共 8 分，每小題 2 分）Anna and Jane had tickets for a pop conc

47、st common kind is New Years resolutions. The start of the year is often a time for making resolutions.
