Passage 1
The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte. (190 words)

Passage 2
A foreigner's first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush-often under pressure. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands(任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.
一个外国人对于美国的第一印象很有可能是每个人都在压力下匆匆忙忙。城市里的人总是表现得匆匆忙忙不知疲倦的，为了尽快做完一件事情，他们会在店里拼命引起店员的注意或者用胳膊肘推搡别人。白天匆忙就餐也是这个国家生活节奏的一个部分。
Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you.
工作时间被认为是很珍贵的。在一些公共饮食场所，其它人会等在你旁边等你吃完，这样大家都可以得到服务，并赶在规定的时间内回去工作。每个人都会尽快给下一个人腾出地方。如果你不这样，侍者会催促你的。
You also find drivers will be abrupt and people will push past you.
You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don't take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else \it beyond a certain courtesy point.
你会发现司机也都很匆忙，人们从你身边匆匆走过。你会错过一些微笑，简短的交谈和一些与陌生人的小礼节。不要在意，这是因为他们非常珍惜时间，而且他们认为一旦太注重这些社交礼节就是浪费时间。
The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some re-turn be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.
对时间的观念还会影响到我们对耐心的理解。在美国价值体系中，耐心并不是首要要考虑的。我们中的很多人被称为“短保险丝”。如果我们觉得时间在毫无意义的溜走，既没有娱乐价值，工作价值，也不在休息，那就会开始不停地徘徊。那些来自时间观念不同的国家的人发现他们在商业和日常生活中最困难的就是对时间节奏的适应。
Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, They will miss the ritual interaction that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be a convention in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a café or coffee house. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly.(348 words) 许多刚到美国来的人都会想念他们在商业会谈中一些开场礼节。举个例子，他们会想念因欢迎你到来而泡的一杯茶或咖啡这样的社交礼仪，这在他们国家是常规礼仪。他们会想念在咖啡屋悠闲的会谈。而通常，美国人不会与来访者在这么悠闲的环境中进行一些冗长的小会谈。对于同事，我们总是看他过去的表现而不是与他的社交礼仪。因为我们一般都是更注重专业性的，而不是社交性的，因此我们总是很快进入正题。
11. Which of the following statements is wrong? D
以下哪项陈述是错误的？美国人对他们的同事不礼貌。 A. Americans seem to be always under pressure. B. Americans attach less importance to patience. C. Americans don’t care much about ritual socializing. D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues. 12. In the fourth paragraph, “a high priority” means _______B_
第四段中的“a high priority”是什么意思？要首要考虑的。 A. a less important thingB. a first concern C. a good businessD. an attractive gift
13. Americans evaluate a business colleague __D______
美国人评价他们的同事是根据他们过去的表现。 A. through social courtesyB. through prolonged business talks C. by establishing business relationsD. by learning about their past
performance
14. This passage mainly talks about _A______本文主要讲了美国人是怎样珍惜时间的。
A. how Americans treasure their time B. how busy Americans are every day
C. how Americans do business with foreigners D. what American way of life is like
15. We can infer from the passage that the author’s tone in writing is ____C____
从本文我们可以看出作者写作的口吻是赞美的。 A. criticalB. ironicalC. praiseful D. objective

Sports
Just as lots of teenagers take to pop music, I love basketball because it’s part of my life.
I began to play basketball in my childhood. I still remember the good old days when I played with my classmates after school. Later on, as I grew up, almost everything changed expect that the love of playing basketball remained and it even grew stronger.
I love this sport because it brings joys and health to my life. When I got tired after office work, I went to the sports ground and felt refreshed. If there were worries and cares from daily life, I went to the sports ground. There everything went away except basketball. In sum, it is basketball that keeps me in good shape and mood.
运动、体育
就像很多年轻人喜欢流行音乐一样，我喜欢篮球。这是我生活的一部分。
我从孩提时代开始就打篮球了。我至今仍记得那些放学后和同学一起打球的旧日好时光。后来，当我慢慢长大，几乎所有的事情都改变了，除了篮球这项运动，它仍然是我的所爱，而且我对它的爱与日俱增。
我喜欢这项运动是因为它给我的生活带来欢乐和健康。当我厌倦了办公室工作，我来到运动场并感到精力很快恢复了。如果日常生活给我带来了烦恼和顾虑，我来到运动场。在那里，除了篮球，
所有的一切都离我远去。总而言之，是篮球让我保持了好心情和好体型。
