Americans often try to say things as quickly as possible, so for some expressions we use t

he first letters of the words instead of saying each word. Many common expressions or long names are shortened this way.

BYOB is a short way of saying "bring your own bottle". The letters BYOB are often found at the bottom of a written invitation to a simple social event or gathering friends. For example, I decide to have a party on a Sunday afternoon. I might write a note saying, "Please come to the party, and BYOB." The bottle each person brings is what that person wants to drink at the party.

An invitation to a special event, such as a wedding, would never say BYOB. However, an invitation to all official or very special event often has other letters at the bottom of it. The letters are RSVP. The letters represent the French expression “repondez s'il vous plait”. In English, the words mean “Respond if it pleases you”. Americans use the letters as a short-way to say please answer this invitation.

Another expression ASAP is often heard in business offices. My boss might say she wants something done ASAP. It means as soon as possible. She also might tell me she wants something done by COB. That means she wants it finished by close of business, or the end of the workday.

Beginning letters often are used to represent the name of a university. A famous one is MIT. It is short for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Another major university is UCLA, almost no one ever says its real name, the University of California at Los Angeles. That takes too long.

Some American businesses are better known for the beginning letters of their name than for their complete names. For example, you may not have heard of the company called International Business Machines, but you probably have heard of the company by its short name IBM. And the American Telephone and Telegraph Company is much better known as AT. ＆ T. Many American government agencies are known by the beginning letters of their name, too. For example, the FBI is the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI investigates criminal activity in the United States. Then there is the IRS, the Internal Revenue Service. It is not a very popular agency. It collects Federal taxes. Here is an example you already know. Can you guess what it is？ How about VOA, the short name of the "Voice of America". (416)

What is the main subject of this article？

A．The voice of America.

B．A short way of saying.

C．Introduction of famous companies.

D．Brief introduction of VOA

Part A

Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)

What is time？ Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money？ Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather？ Is time the same all over the world？ That's an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. Well, maybe. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a very valuable resource. Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression, "Time is money."

Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to conserve and manage it. People in the U.S. often attend seminars or read books on time management. It seems they all want to organize their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners-some in electronic form-to keep track of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to squeeze more life out of their time. The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this view best: "Do you love life.'？ Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of."

To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually don't try that at work.

To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock, People in other cultures value relationships more than schedules. In these societies, people don't try to control time, but to experience it. Many Eastern cultures, for example, view time as a cycle. The rhythm of nature-from the passing of the seasons to the monthly cycle of the moonshapes their view of events. People learn to respond to their environment. As a result, they find it easier to "go with the flow" than Americans, who like plans to be fixed and unchangeable.

Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time-like moneyslips all too easily through our fingers. And time-like the weather-is very haut to predict. Nevertheless, time is one of life's most precious gifts. And unwrapping it is half the fun.

Why Americans are fond of the expression "Time is money"？

A．Because it may be saved or spent or wasted.

B．Because it is something we have no control over.

C．Because it is equal to everyone.

D．Because it is regarded as an invaluable resource.

听力原文： American visitors to Eastern Asia are often surprised and puzzled by how Asian cultures and customs differ from those in the United States. What's considered typical or proper social conduct in one country may be regard as odd, improper or even rude in the other. For example, people from some Eastern Asian countries may begin a conversation with a stranger by asking personal questions about family, home or work. Such questions are thought to be friendly, whereas they might be considered offensive in the United States. On the other hand, people in most Asian cultures are far more guarded about expressing their feelings publicly than most Americans are. Openly displaying annoyance or anger, yelling, arguing loudly and so forth is considered ill-mannered in countries such as Japan. Many Eastern Asians prefer to hold their emotions in check and instead express themselves with great politeness. They try not to be blunt and avoid making direct criticisms. In fact, they often keep their differences of opinion to themselves and merely smile and remain silent rather than engage in a confrontation. By comparison, Americans are often frank about displaying both positive and negative emotions on the street and in other public places. Americans visiting Asia should keep in mind that such behavior. may cause offense. A major difference between American culture and most Asian cultures is that in Asia, the community is more important than the individual. Most Americans are considered a success when they make a name for themselves.

A．By greeting each other very politely.

B．By exchanging their views on public affairs.

Text II Americans generally consider themselves to...

Text II Americans generally consider themselves to be frank, open, and direct in their dealings with other people. In their daily conversation, they may chat with each other in a more direct way. “Let’s lay our cards on the table,” they say. Or, “Let’s stop playing games and get to the point.” Unlike statements from other nations, these and many other phrases show the Americans’ idea that people should clearly state what they think about and what they want. Americans tend to believe that disagreements are best settled by means of long discussions among the people involved. If I dislike something you are doing, I should tell you about it directly so you will know, clearly and from me personally, how I feel about it. They do not prefer to hide their feelings, which may make themselves uneasy. For them, bringing in other people to solve the problem is regarded as somewhat strange. And the former will be looked upon as one who is not brave enough to speak directly to someone else. Americans will often speak openly and directly to others about things they dislike. They will try to do so in a manner they call “constructive”, that is, a manner which the other person will not find offensive or unacceptable. If they do not speak openly about what is in their minds, they will often express their meanings in nonverbal ways (without words, but through facial expressions, body positions, and gestures). They believe it is also a good way to show their feelings. Americans are not taught, as people in many Asian countries are, that they should hide their feelings. Their words, the tone of their voices, or their facial expressions will usually reveal when they are feeling angry, unhappy, confused, or happy and satisfied. 6. According to the passage, ______________.

A、Americans don’t state clearly what they think and want

B、Americans use body language to defend other people

第二节 短文理解1

阅读下面短文，从[A](Right)、[B](Wrong)、[C](Doesn't Say)三个判断中选择一个正确选项。

How to start your life in the USA？ It's very important to learn to use English well. But very often it isn't easy to find someone to talk to in a big city. However, here are some suggestions.

If you want to use English in the street, first, get or borrow a dog ! Walk him several times a day! Americans love pets(宠物) and usually stop to talk to anyone with a dog.

Then, try to eat in a restaurant. People sitting at the same table with you will sometimes talk to you if they see that you are a foreigner.

Always ask for information from a woman if you are a man, and from a man if you are a woman ! This often works very well though I don't know why.

Learn to say "Please," "Thank you" and "You're welcome" before you come to the

USA and use them all the time! Always say "Fine" in answer to the question "How are you".

Also, when someone says they will meet you at six o'clock, be sure to be there by six.

Americans think highly of time and expect everyone to be "on time. "

All in all, don't worry! Just bring a lot of money and do as I told you. I'm sure you will have a very good start and enjoy your fife here.

Of all the pets Americans like dogs best.

A．Right

B．Wrong

C．Doesn't say

听力原文：M: It's so hard for me to learn English. Why is it so easy for you？

W: I didn't know you were having problems. Maybe it's easier for me because I already speak two languages. But also, I really work at it.

M: Well, I always do my homework and go to classes. What else do you think would help？

W: Well, you might try reading newspapers. And I always talk to Americans when I get a chance, though sometimes it's hard.

M: But, how do you meet Americans？ I only know other foreign students.

W: How about sitting next to an American at lunch, or have you ever thought of asking someone over to your house for dinner？

M: Those are good ideas. But I'm a little shy to speak English.

W: You won't learn if you don't try and speak. If I were you, I'd talk to your English teacher. He might have some good ideas.

Why is it easier for the woman to learn English？

A．She often talks to English people.

B．She speaks two languages already.

C．She always does her homework right after class.
