3.A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man-the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts,usually beginning by working with his hands.While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker,he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life.One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel,expensive hobbies,and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself,will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward,furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery.On the contrary,the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes.A professional man may talk about washing the car,digging in his flowerbeds,painting the house.His wife may even help with these things,just as he often helps her with the dishwashing.The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living,or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.

分析 文章主要讲了美国崇尚自我奋斗,尊重体力劳动的文化传统.
解答 70:A 细节理解题.由第一段第一句"A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man-the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts,usually beginning by working with his hands."可知,"崇尚自我奋斗"是美国文化的特点.故正确答案为A.
71.B 细节理解题.由第二段第四句"On the contrary,the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes."可知,女主人亲自下厨是因为她为自己的劳动感到自豪,B项正确;
72:D 推理判断题.由第二段最后一句中的"The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living…"中的"wash dishes"可推断上大学的儿子是在餐馆里工作.因此他是通过服务顾客(wait on table)和洗盘子来支撑他的学业.故正确答案为D.
73:B 主旨大意题.纵观全文,文章主要讲了美国崇尚自我奋斗,尊重体力劳动的文化传统,B项正确.A项"可敬的白手起家的家庭"是一个体现美国人对于体力劳动态度的例子,过于片面;C项"美国文化的特点"过于笼统;D项"手工劳动的发展"在文中并未体现,且与美国无关,应当排除.故正确答案为B.
