It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Wha
17、tever the reasons are, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities.Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. In the presence of strange
18、rs or foreigners he often seems restrained, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a city train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or having a light sleep in a corner, and no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem
19、 most unusual. An Englishman, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “On entering a railway carriage, shake hands with all the passengers.” Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, if broken, makes t
20、he person immediately suspected.In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc, often accompanied by appropriate gesture. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman feels no less deeply than anyone of a different nati
21、onality, but he tends to display his feelings far less. This is reflected in his use of language. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. A more emotional man might describe her state “Oh, she is a goddess”, whereas an Englishman might just say “Oh, shes all right.” An Englishm
22、an who has seen a highly successful and enjoyable film recommends it to a friend by commenting, “Its not bad you know”, or on seeing some very unusual scenery he might convey (表达) his pleasure by saying, “Nice, yes, very nice.” The overseas visitor must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of i
23、nterest and involvement. Instead, he must realize that “all right,” “not bad,” and “nice,” very often have the sense of “first-class,” “excellent,” “beautiful”. This unique style of language use is particularly common in England, and is known as restrained statement.56. According to the passage, the
24、 English are different from other nationalities in _. A. habits B. attitudes C. character D. all of the above57. The underlined word “restrained” in the second paragraph probably means “ ”. A. calm and controlled B. polite and friendly C. nervous and quiet D. silent and kind58. In Britain, if you do
25、nt want other people to think you are strange, youd better _. A. talk with others as much as possible B. behave just like the English doC. say nothing about yourself D. shake hands with everyone you meet 59. If an Englishman says “all right”, it may mean “_”. A. not bad B. correct C. quite right D.
26、wonderful60. From the passage, we can infer that an Englishman _. A. doesnt like to show his feelings so muchB. has less emotion than people of other nationalitiesC. finds it easy to express his emotion D. likes to have a joke with strangersBDown-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal w
27、ith. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider
28、themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.Americans use another expression that is similar in some
29、way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of perso
30、n is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.The pe
31、rson who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and
32、 openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.61. If a person has his nose in the air, he _. A. is down to the earth B. is easy to deal with C. always thinks he is more important than others D. is confident62. If a person has both feet on the ground, he _. A. is
33、 in touch with reality, and doesnt have any dreamsB. has some dreams but he is realisticC. is honest, open and easy to deal withD. is honest, open but hard to deal with63. From the second paragraph, we know that sharp words from a teacher can usually _. A. help a student get down to the earth B. wak
34、e a student upC. help a daydreaming student come down to the ground D. help a daydreaming student to become more realistic64. The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” most probably means that _.A. the person who has his nose in the air is not trueB. a man with his head in the c
35、louds is often not intelligentC. the opposite direction is always wrongD. a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth65. From the passage, we can infer the person who is _ is the most popular kind of person.A. down-to-earth B. standing on the groundC. with his nose in the air D
36、. with his head in the cloudsCFrom their beginnings New England towns had a special democratic system of government. At a stated time all the citizens would assemble at a town meeting, where they would discuss local problems and express opinions freely. They also elected the towns officials at these
37、 gatherings and made decisions about the taxes they would pay and about other community matters. These meetings were usually held at the town hall, which was located in the central square.In the eighteenth-century town meetings, only men who owned property and who were church members actually voted,
38、 although everyone present was allowed to express their opinions. Later, all citizens were allowed to vote. Thus the town meeting became truly democratic. Town meetings are still common in New England communities.In recent years the town meeting idea has been widely imitated. There are open sessions
39、 of this kind on radio and television. Occasionally a meeting of this type is called by a government agency in order to give an opportunity for free and open discussion on current problems and policies.66. At a town meeting, people do the following things EXCEPT _. A. express their opinions about th
40、e governmentB. elect officials of the townsC. make a decision about whom they should marryD. discuss some community matters 67. In the 18th century, who had the right to vote? A. All the citizens. B. All the men except those who were church members.C. The rich. D. The rich men and the church members
41、.68. Why has the town meeting been widely imitated? A. Because many people are interested in it.B. Because it is very democratic.C. Because many people enjoy themselves at town meetings.D. Because sometimes government agencies call them.69. According to the passage, which of the following statements
42、 is NOT true? A. Citizens can elect the officials in the town meeting.B. In recent years, town meetings are often called by a government agency.C. People can say what they want to say at the town meeting.D. Nowadays this kind of meeting is also held on radio and television.70. This passage mainly ta
43、lks about _. A. the New England town meeting B. modern town meetingsC. a democratic meeting D. New England townsDMost Americans believe that someone isnt grown-up until the age of 26 and they should complete their education, have a full-time job, have a family to support and be financially independe
44、nt. They also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process which begins at about the age of 20 and takes about five years, according to the report from the University of Chicagos National Opinion Research Center. The findings are based on a representative sample of 1,398 people over the age of
45、 18 who were surveyed in person. The survey found that people expect the transitions to grown-up status to be completed at the following ages: age 20.9 self-supporting; age 21.1 no longer living with parents; age 21.2 having a full-time job; age 22.3 education completed; age 24.5 being able to suppo
46、rt a family financially; age 25.7 getting married; and age 26.2 having a child.“There is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporting
47、 a family, having children and getting married. Older adults consider these more important than younger adults do. This probably shows in large part a change in values across generations away from traditional family values. The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, is completing education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently, and marriage.71. According to the first paragraph, someone is a grown-up when he _. A. has found a full-time
