分析 文章介绍了美国人在餐馆里的就餐的习惯,怎样点菜,怎样给小费,包括吃不了时可以带回家去自己享用.

解答 36.D 细节理解题.根据第一段及关键句 …it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them 可知 A、B、C 与原文不相符,同时关键句告诉我们"未经他人允许吸烟是不礼貌的"可知 D 为正确选项.
37.A 细节理解题.根据文章内容Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants,though they usually do make rules for bars,几乎商店和饭馆是没有固定的开门和关门的时间的,选项A符合文意.
38.D 细节理解题.根据 If you can't finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later,ask your waitress or waiter for a"doggie bag"得知它与答案 D 的表达相符,故选 D.
39.B 根据文章内容,小费和账单通常是分开的,小费不包括在餐点价格内,再由文章A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave可知,离开时应将小费放在桌上,故B为正确选项.
40.B 根据文章内容 In some restaurants,a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there.Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.由此可知账单被放在盘子里给你,最后再给你change,因此change 为付账找回的零钱.

9.At the beginning of my 8:00 a.m.class one Monday at UNLV(拉斯维加斯内华达大学),I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been.One young man said that his weekend had not been very good.The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.
His question reminded me of something I'd read somewhere before:"Every morning when you get up,you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day,"I said to the young man."I choose to be cheerful."
"Let me give you an example,"I continued."In addition to teaching here at UNLV,I also teach out at the community college in Henderson,about seventeen miles down the freeway from where I live.One day a few weeks ago I drove to Henderson.I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive.But just then my car died.I tried to start it again,but the engine wouldn't turn over.So I put my flashers on,took my books,and marched down the road to the college."
"As soon as I got there,I called AAA(美国汽车协会) and asked them to send a tow truck (拖车).The secretary in the Provost's office asked me what had happened.'This is my lucky day',I replied,smiling."
"Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?"She was puzzled,"What do you mean?"
"I live seventeen miles from here".I replied."My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway.It didn't.Instead,it broke down in the perfect place:off the freeway,within walking distance of here.I'm still able to teach my class,and I've been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class.If my car was meant to break down today,it couldn't have been arranged in a more convenient fashion."

6.Pingyao,in the center of Shanxi Province,is a famous historic cultural city of China and a world cultural heritage (遗产) site.It's 90kilometers south of Taiyuan on the Fen River.People lived in Pingyao during the New Stone Age.Its long period as a county government seat has left Pingyao with lots of historic buildings and sites,with a 2,700-year history.
Ninety-nine of them are under government protection,including Zhengguo Temple,Shuanglin Temple and Pingyao Ancient City.During the Ming and Qing Dynasties,businessmen organized commercial (商业的) groups that did business nationwide.Shanxi Province had some of the most important ones and Pingyao was their center.In 1823,a store,known as Rishengchang (Sunrise Prosperity),traded in bank checks rather than in silver or gold coins.It was the beginning of modern Chinese banking.Branch (分支) banks were soon set up in major cities in China and other parts of Asia,leading to great development in Pingyao.Its lacquer ware (漆器) became well known.In Pingyao Ancient City are many traditional houses and commercial buildings,3,797of which are protected and more than 400of which are in good condition.Not only do the houses in Pingyao show Shanxi's history and culture,but this large number is valuable for studying its history,customs,ancient buildings and art.Most of these houses are still used as homes and shops of local people.In 1997,Ancient Pingyao City was listed in World Heritage List as"World Culture Heritage Site".

13.March 21has been declared World Sleep Day,a time to recognize and celebrate the value of sleep.Many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call.
According to a 2013poll(民意调查) by the National Sleep Foundation,nearly 4in 5Americans don't get as much sleep as they should during the workweek.On average,adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night,although some can manage with less and some won't do well without more.But the survey found that,on workdays,only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep,and another 21% get less than six.
To many of us,the thought of spending more time sleeping is,well,a big yawn.On the other hand,the thought of being smarter,thinner,healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal.And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep,researchers say.Also on the plus side:We're likely to have better skin,better memories,better judgment,and,oh,yes,longer lives.
"When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason,it influences your performance the next day,"says Dr.Alon Avidan,director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center.
A study published last year found the same to be true even of children.When kids aged 8to 12slept for just one hour less for four nights,they didn't function as well during the day.
But sleeping has an image problem."We see napping or sleeping as lazy,"says Jennifer Vriend,a clinical psychologist in Ottawa,Canada,and the leading author of the study with children."We put so much emphasis on diet,nutrition and exercise.Sleep is in the back seat."In fact,she adds,no matter how much we work out,no matter how well we eat,we can't be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep.

A.to wake up the sleepers
B.to serve as a morning call
C.to draw people's attention

A.People can do well without enough sleep.
B.Adults need at least eight hours'sleep a day.
C.Only one-forth of Americans have enough sleep.
D.One-fifth of American adults sleep less than children.
58.From Paragraph 3we can infer thatC.
A.being healthier is one of the advantages for us
B.sleeping has nothing to do with one's expectations
C.enough sleep is the guarantee of the appealing things
D.spending more time on sleeping is a waste of time
59.What Jennifer Vriend said in the last paragraph implies thatA.
A.people care little about sleeping
B.sleeping is an image problem
C.lazy people tend to sleep long
D.sleeping is only part of our life
60.What is the purpose of the passage?D
A.To talk about people's sleeping problems.
B.To provide an investigation result of sleeping.
C.To stress the function of sleeping at night.

7.There are many American expressions about insects.
Bees are known as very hard workers.So you might say you were as busy as a bee if you spent your weekend cleaning your house.In fact,you might say your house was a beehive of activity if your whole family was helping you clean.You also might say you made a beeline for something if you went there right away.When we go to see a movie,my friend always makes a beeline for the place where they sell popcorn.If something was the best of its kind,you might say it was the bee's knees.Now,we admit that we do not know how this expression developed.In fact,we do not even know if bees have knees!If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important,you might say she has a bee in her bonnet.If someone asks you a personal question,and you would like not to tell him or her,you might say,"That is none of your beeswax."
Butterflies are beautiful insects,but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach.That means to be nervous about having to do something,like speaking in front of a crowd.You would also not want to have ants in your pants.That is,to be restless and unable to sit still.
If a friend keeps asking you to do something you do not want to do,you might ask him to leave you alone or"stop bugging me".A friend also might tell you again and again to do something.If so,you might say he put a bug in your ear.If you were reading a book in your warm bed on a cold winter's day,you might say you were snug as a bug in a rug.And,if you wish someone good night,you might say,"sleep tight-don't let the bed bugs bite."

C.stand for bad effects on a person

B.Bug is a kind of good insects for man.
C.Bugs live mainly in human's ears.
D.A bug in a rug is very danger.
13.Want a glance of the future of health care?Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another,and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient-no matter where he or she may be.
Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms(症状) are the most obvious example.Increasingly,however,remote diagnosis(远程诊断) will be based on real physiological data(生理数据) from the actual patient.A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone,it is perfectly practical to send a patient's important signs over the telephone.With this kind of equipment,the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.
Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural(countryside) care.And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need-especially after earthquakes.On the whole,the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts'opinions.
But there is one problem.Bandwidth(宽带) is the limiting factor for sending complex(复杂的) medical pictures around the world-CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users.Communication satellites may be able to deal with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars.But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.
Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis,training and telemedicine.With the falling price of broadband communications,the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information,experts'opinions and diagnosis are common.
59.The writer chiefly talks aboutA
A.the use of telemedicine                 
B.the on-lined doctors
C.medical care and treatment        
D.communication improvement
60.The basis of remote diagnosis will beC.
A.personal data assistance 
B.some words of a patient
C.real physiological information
D.medical pictures from the Internet
61.Which of the following statements is true according to the text?D
A.Patients don't need doctors in hospitals any more.
B.It is impossible to send a patient's signs over the telephone.
C.Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now.
D.Broadband communications will become cheaper in the future.
62.The"problem"in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact thatA.
A.bandwidth isn't big enough to send complex medical pictures
B.the second-generation of Internet has not become popular yet
C.communication satellites can only deal with short-term needs
D.there is not enough equipment for spreading the medical care.
