Mark Twain was a famous American writer in his day. He liked to play jokes on his friends. One day one of his friends lost his wallet and asked Mark Twain to pay his train ticket for him.
“But I don't have enough money to pay both your ticket and mine，” Mark Twain said. The friend didn't know what to do.
“We can do this，” said Mark Twain. “We can get on the train and when the conductor comes to check the tickets, you can hide under my seat.”
Later, however, when the conductor came to check the tickets, Mark Twain gave him two tickets — one for himself and one for his friend. Then he explained in a loud voice, “My friend is a strange man. When he travels on a train, he does not like to sit on the seat. He prefers to lie on the floor under the seat.” Of course, everyone in the train looked at the poor friend under the seat and laughed at him loudly.

There is one word that is on the lips of Americans, day and night, “Sorry”． One time as I was walking on the street, a young man ran by hurriedly, brushing against my handbag. Even as he continued on his way, he turned back and said “sorry” to me. Even in a rush, he didn't forget to apologize.
One day, after I bought some apples, the salesman was giving me the change, but I wasn't ready for it, and a coin dropped on the ground. “I'm sorry”， he said while bending down to pick it up. I was puzzled — why would he apologize when it was my fault?
Another time, I stepped on a man's foot in an escalator (自动扶梯). At the same time, we both said “sorry”. I thought it interesting. Was it really necessary for him to apologize?
Later on, an American friend explained to me that according to the American ideas, the escalator is a public place which everyone should be able to stand in. After someone occupies his position in the escalator, making it difficult for someone else to find a place to stand in, isn't it necessary to express an apology?
During my stay in America, I gradually realized that when friction (摩擦) occurs in daily life, Americans don't care much about who is responsible. If someone is troubled, a “sorry” is always necessary. Even if the other person is hurt, the “sorry” would cool tempers. Perhaps I never saw anyone quarreling on the buses, subways or streets in America.
4．When I was walking in the street, ________. A. a young man wanted to rob me of my bag B. a young man ran by and wanted to brush my bag C. a young man said sorry to me for touching my bag D. a young man came hurriedly to help me with my bag 5．When the salesman gave me the change, ________.
A. I purposely didn't want to accept it from the salesman B. the salesman purposely didn't want to pass it to me
C. I was slower to accept it than the salesman to give it to me D. the salesman was slower to give it to me than I could accept it
都哦哦哦来了看看6．The man on whose feet I stepped apologized to me because ________.
A. the escalator is a public place B. the man was very afraid of me C. the “sorry” said to me was for everyone D. there wasn't enough room to get my feet in
7．In this passage, the author seems to feel ________ the Americans' “sorry”． A. angry with B. disappointed with C. interested in D. approving of

Sydney is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and the 2000 Olympic Games put it on the map as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world. Any trip to Sydney is an adventure and with some of the world's most beautiful beaches, this city has so much to offer. Sydney is so large an area that choosing a hotel is something you need to do very carefully. Public transport is good, but it can be slow and being close to where you want to be is probably the most important factor.
The first and most obvious choice is hotels around Circular Quay. Circular Quay is the heart of the city and one of the major interchanges where trains, buses and ferries meet. It's also where Sydney's two most famous landmarks are located — the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge. This area is active and offers some of the best views you will ever get from a hotel room.
The farther hotels in the city are much more suited to business travelers and they are usually less expensive. Darling Harbor is a great choice as it mixes a great view with being right in the centre of the city. Darling Harbor has hundreds of pubs, clubs and restaurants along the water's edge.
If you don't feel like dealing with the hustle-and-bustle of the city and are looking for something a bit quieter, why not head out to the Northern Beaches. It's only a short ferry ride over to Manly where you can find two major hotels on the beach with a number of smaller boutiques (时装店)．
12．What made Sydney famous as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world?
A. Its traditional culture. B. Its beaches and hotels. C. The traffic system. D. The 2000 Olympics.
D．2003

14．We may know from the passage that ________.

C. hotels in Manly are the cheapest in Sydney D. you can enjoy good views in Circular Quay 15．The passage is mainly to ________.
A. advertise the hotels in Sydney
B. tell us how to choose a suitable hotel in Sydney C. show that Sydney is truly a heaven on earth D. describe Sydney after the 2000 Olympics 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 16 Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. 17 If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
18 A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 19 A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides (自杀) than any other bridge in the area——until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
20 It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A. On the other hand, black is depressing.
B. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour
B. Darling Harbor C. Manly D. Sydney Harbor
