Reading Comprehension Passage One It was a quarter past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work. Her bus had inched along through heavy morning
13、traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day. Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marke
14、d “King Enterprises,“ she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no reply. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in. Although she was sure it was the same office she h
15、ad been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. At the far end of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, b
16、ecause there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work.
17、No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie re
18、alized that the days work in the office began just before Mr. King arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.31.

21、rrive34.

22、comeC) An Unpunctual Manager D) Better Late Than NeverPassage TwoThere are stories about two U.S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We dont know if either story is true, but they are both interesting.The first explanation is based
23、 on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct” on it. The problem w
24、as that he didnt know how to spell, so what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while, he shortened that term to “OK”.The second explanation is based on the place where President Ban Buren was born, Kinderhook, New York. Ban Burens friends organized a club to help him become President. They cal
25、led the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”.36. The author _C_.A) believes both of the storiesB) does not believe a word of the storiesC) is not sure whether the stories are trueD) is telling the stories just for fun37.

29、s the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural difference, not an economic one. Knowing your own psychological space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were b
30、rought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are, if you have two children or more, that you will also offer separate bedrooms for them. In America, for example, they train people to want to have their won rooms by giving them their own r
31、ooms when they are babies. This is very rare in the world. In many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them. The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has
32、nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members go to be alone.
