3.My grandparents believed that you were either honest or you were not.They had a simple saying hanging on their living-room wall:"Life is like a field of newly fallen snow.Where I choose to walk every step will show."They didn't have to talk about it; they showed this truth by the way they lived.
They understood that honesty is an inner(内部的) standard for judging your behavior.Unfortunately,honesty is in short supply today.But it is the real bottom line in every area of society and a discipline (自制能力) we must demand of ourselves.
There's a story told about a surgical nurse's first day on the medical team at a well-known hospital.She was responsible(负责) for all surgical instruments and materials during an operation.At the end of the operation,the nurse said to the doctor,"You've only removed 11sponges(海绵),and we used 12.We need to find the last one."
"I removed them all,"the doctor assured her."No,you didn't,sir,"insisted the nurse."Think of the patient."
Smiling,the doctor lifted his foot and showed the nurse the twelfth sponge.
So when you know you're right,you can't yield.Don't be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be more intelligent than you are.
Self-respect and a clear awareness (意识)of right and wrong are powerful parts of honesty and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.Honesty means you do what you do because it's right and not just fashionable or politically correct.A life of principle,of not easily yielding,will always take you forward.My grandparents taught me that.

32.From the first two paragraphs,we can infer thatC.
A.the author's grandparents liked snow
B.the author's grandparents didn't like chatting
C.the author is worried about the issue of honesty in today's society
D.Honesty is the most important standard for judging one's behavior
33.The nurse insisted there was still a sponge becauseB
A.she saw the doctor hide the twelfth sponge
B.she believed she was right
C.she thought the doctor was not responsible
D.she knew the patient well
34.What does the underlined word"yield"mean in the text?B
A.admit        B.give in         C.stop         D.look forward
35.How does the text mainly develop?A
A.By providing an example of honesty.
B.By making a comparison between honesty and dishonesty.
C.By explaining the author's grandparents'belief in detail.
D.By following the order of importance.

分析 本文主要讲了今天的诚信是供不应求的,但它是社会各方面真正的底线,也是我们必须要求自己遵守的纪律.诚信诚实意味着你做你所做的事情,因为它是正确的.

解答 32.C 推理判断题.根据第二段的句子Unfortunately,honesty is in short supply today.But it is the real bottom line in every area of society and a discipline (自制能力) we must demand of ourselves.不幸的是,今天的诚信是供不应求的,但它是社会各方面真正的底线,也是我们必须要求自己遵守的纪律.可以推断出作者担心现在社会中诚信问题.
33.B 推理判断题.根据句子So when you know you're right,you can't yield.Don't be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be more intelligent than you are.所以,当你知道你是对的,你就不能屈服,不要害怕那些可能有更好主意的人,或者甚至比你更聪明的人.可以推断出那个护士坚持是因为她认为她是正确的,所以答案选B.
34.B 猜测词义题.根据句子 Don't be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be more intelligent than you are.不要害怕那些可能有更好主意的人,或者甚至比你更聪明的人.可以猜测前文So when you know you're right,you can't yield.应该是:所以,当你知道你是对的,你就不能屈服,答案选B.
35.A 推理判断题  本文提出自己的担忧之后用一个护士的故事展示了关系诚实,诚信的话题.所以答案选A.

From:Robert Renfield robertyaho@nemo.com
To:Citizens'Bank aas@citizensbank.net
Subject:An Inquiry of the Alert Service
Good afternoon,
I am writing to request more information on your new Automated Alert Service,as advertised on your Website.I have had both personal and commercial accounts with Citizens'Bank for many years.Often,I find it necessary to move money between accounts.Because of this,it is vital that I keep a close eye on the cash flow of all of my accounts,to assure that their balances stay above the required minimums.Therefore,I have been searching for an economical means of keeping better track of my finances.I was considering purchasing software for this purpose,but I think that your new service might be a convenient alternative.
My first question concerns the timeliness of the notifications.When you say"instantly",does that relate only to banking hours?For example,if my wife were to use our debit card (借记卡)on a Sunday afternoon to make a transfer (转账) at an ATM,would I be informed via email instantly or on Monday morning?My second question is in regard to the information available in this service.Is it possible to be aware of any information in my monthly bank statement,such as interest on my savings account?Finally,I would like to know the cost of this service.Please send me this information as soon as possible.If necessary,you can contact me in the evenings at 225-782-0902.

18.The American tradition of"trick-or-treating"probably dates back to the early All Souls'Day parades (游行) in England.During the festivities,poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called"soul cakes"in return for their promise to pray for the family's dead relatives.
The distribution of soul cakes was encouraged by the Church as a way to replace the ancient practice of leaving food and wine for wandering spirits.The practice,which was referred to as"going-a-souling"was eventually taken up by children who would visit the houses in their neighborhood and be given apples,food,and money.
The tradition of dressing in costume for Halloween has both European and Celtic roots.Hundreds of years ago,winter was an uncertain and frightening time.Food supplies often ran low and,for the many people afraid of the dark,the short days of winter were full of constant worry.On Halloween,when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world,people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes.To avoid being recognized by these ghosts,people wou1d wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits.On Halloween,to keep ghosts away from their houses,people would place bowls of food outside their homes to appease(使平息,使满足) the ghosts and prevent them from attempting to enter.

15.Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer who helped shape the course of American literature.His life was full of tragedies,but he had the great influence on the 19th-century American literature and continues to influence writers to this day.
The early life of Edgar Allan Poe was quite unhappy.Born in 1809,Poe was not yet three years old when his parents died.Adopted by a wealthy family,he got into trouble at school.He entered the United States Military Academy at West Point,but he dropped out without graduating.His misery continued to his adult life.Later,because of a failed marriage,he suffered from mental illness.He was so upset about real life that he turned to writing.Expressing himself in an unreal and imaginary world was his only comfort.
The tragedies in Poe's life influenced the tone,style and contents of his writing.His stories usually include death,which help build his reputation as a master of"dark"literature.In his The Tell-Tale Heart,the main character goes crazy and kills his roommate while in The Black Cat,the main character kills his cat in a fit of madness.
Poe died at the age of 40 in 1849.His life is short,but his influence is very great.Poe is credited with(被誉为) creating crime fiction,and many say he contributed greatly to the appearance of science fiction.Fascinated(着迷) by the scientific theories and new inventions of his time,he wrote about imaginary societies in the future.Writers such as Arthur Conan Doyle,the author of Sherlock Holmes,regarded Poe as the father of detective fiction.Jules Verne,a French writer who helped popularize science fiction,said Poe's work had a direct influence on the stories he wrote.
