TEXT D Not long ago, a mysterious Christmas card dropped through our mail slot. The envelope was addressed to a man named Raoul, who, I was relatively certain, did not live with us. The envelope wasn't sealed, so I opened it. The inside of the card was blank. Ed, my husband, explained that the card was both from and to the newspaper deliveryman. His name was apparently Raoul, and Raoul wanted a holiday tip. We were meant to put a check inside the card and then drop the envelope in the mail. When your services are rendered at 4 a.m., you can't simply hang around, like a hotel bellboy expecting a tip. You have to be direct. So I wrote a nice holiday greeting to this man who, in my imagination, fires The New York Times from his bike aimed at our front door, causing more noise with mere newsprint than most people manage with sophisticated black market fireworks. With a start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness but carefully executed spite: I had not tipped Raoul in Christmases past. I honestly hadn't realized I was supposed to. This was the first time he'd used the card tactic. So I got out my checkbook. Somewhere along the line, holiday tipping went from an optional thank-you for a year of services to a Mafia-style protection racket (收取保护费的⿊社会组织). Several days later, I was bringing our garbage bins back from the curb when I noticed an envelope taped to one of the lids. The outside of the envelope said MICKEY. It had to be another tip request, this time from our garbage collector. Unlike Raoul, Mickey hadn't enclosed his own Christmas card from me. In a way, I appreciated the directness. "I know you don't care how merry my Christmas is, and that's fine," the gesture said. "I want $30, or I'll 'forget' to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day." I put a check in the envelope and taped it back to the bin. The next morning, Ed noticed that the envelope was gone, though the trash hadn't yet been picked up: "Someone stole Mickey's tip!" Ed was quite certain. He made me call the bank and cancel the check. But Ed had been wrong. Two weeks later, Mickey left a letter from the bank on our steps. The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to cash, had been cancelled. The following Tuesday morning, when Ed saw a truck outside, he ran out with his wallet. "Are you Mickey?" The man looked at him with scorn. "Mickey is the garbageman. I am the recycling." Not only had Ed insulted this man by hinting that he was a garbageman, but he had obviously neglected to tip him. Ed ran back inside for more funds. Then he noticed that the driver of the truck had been watching the whole transaction. He peeled off another twenty and looked around, waving bills in the air. "Anyone else?" Had we consulted the website of the Emily Post Institute, this embarrassing breach of etiquette (礼节) could have been avoided. Under "trash/recycling collectors" in the institute's Holiday Tipping Guidelines, it says: "$10 to $30 each." You may or may not wish to know that your pet groomer, hairdresser, mailman and UPS guy all expect a holiday tip. 96. The newspaper deliveryman put a blank card inside the envelope because A. he forgot to write a few words on it. B. he wanted the couple to send it back. C. he used it to ask for a Christmas tip. D. he was afraid of asking for a tip in person. 97. From the passage, we learn that the author A. didn't like Raoul's way of delivering the paper. B. didn't realize why Raoul delivered the paper that way. C. didn't know that Raoul came very early in the morning. D. didn't feel it necessary to meet Raoul when he came. 98. According to the passage, the author felt ____ to give Raoul a holiday tip. A. excited B. delighted C. embarrassed D. forced 99. Which of the following is CORRECT about Mickey, the garbage collector? A. He wrote a letter to the couple afterwards. B. He failed to collect the money from the bank. C. He wanted the couple to send him a Christmas card. D. He collected both the cheek and the garbage that day. 100. Ed's encounter with the recycling team shows that A. Ed was desperate to correct his mistake. B. Ed only wanted to give money to Raoul. C. Ed was unwilling to tip the truck driver. D. Ed no longer wanted to give them money.。
Keytomodeltest9专四模拟题答案Key to model test nineBritish WomenBritish women, in common with women in most Western countries, have been fighting for sexual equality with men for much of the last century. Their achievements have been considerable.First and foremost, discrimination against anyone on the grounds of their sex alone is illegal. For women, this means they are entitled to be given equal respect and status with men in all areas of life. Many British women expect to pursue careers for intellectual, financial and social reasons. They also expect equal pay with men for the same job. When they have family responsibilities, some women, depending on financial and other circumstances, choose not to work; others choose to take time off work while their children are young. In still other families, the father will give up work while the mother continues to pursue her career. In all thesecases, men and women are generally expected to share the domestic responsibilities at home with their partners.PART II1-5 CBBDC6-10 DBADB11-15 BACCD16-20 AADDA21-25 ABDAA26-30 BDDDCPART III31-35 CDBCA36-40 BAACA41-45 ABCAA46-50 BABCDPART IV51-55 CAAAB56-60 BAABA61-65 BDBCA66-70 AABBB71-75 BAAAB76-80 CAACBPART V81-85 BDADD86-90 BCCAC91-95 CDBAD96-100 DDABCPART VIThe Importance of Cooperation Nowadays cooperation turns out to be the mainstream of our life. And people are becoming increasingly aware of the significance of cooperation. In my opinion, cooperation is of prime importance for the individuals, companies and the whole society.I have several reasons to support my point of view.To start with, by cooperating with others we can achieve things that can't be donesingle-handed. For example, when playing basketball, every player must attach great importance to team work, otherwise he would lose the game. Secondly, cooperation conduces to the establishment of harmonious atmosphere among fellow workers. Although competition has been listed as a prominent feature in the workplace, cooperation should always come first becausecompanies that stress competition more than anything else characterize bad interpersonal relationships and oppressing circumstances. Thirdly, cooperation can benefit the whole society because unity is strength, as the saything goes.A case in point is the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Were it not for the cooperation of millions of people, the Olympics would not be as successful as it was.On the whole, cooperation is quite important in our life. If we pay more attention to it, we will achieve more and contribute more to the society.Note-writingApril 21st Dear Mary,I've learnt that you have bought a new filling cabinet.

We do not realize that waving good-bye is the way to summon a person from the Philippines to one' s side, or that in Italy and some Latin-American countries, curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell.Those private citizens who sent packages to our troops occupying Germany after World War II and marked them GIFT to escape duty payments did not bother to find out that "Gift" means poison in German. Moreover, we like to think of ourselves as friendly, yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arm' s length away from others. Latins and Middle Easterners like to come closer and touch, which makes Americans uncomfortable.Our linguistic and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take notice of the developed tastes, gestures, customs and languages of other countries, are losing us friends, business and respect in the world.Even here in the United States, we make few concessions to the needs of foreign visitors. There are no information signs in four languages on our public buildings or monuments; we do not have multilingual guided tours. Very few restaurant menus have translations, and multilingual waiters, bank clerks and policemen are rare. Our transportation systems have maps in English only and often we ourselves have difficulty understanding them.When we go abroad, we tend to cluster in hotels and restaurants where English is spoken. Then attitudes and information we pick up are conditioned by those natives -- usually the richer-- who speak English. Our business dealings, as well as the nation' s diplomacy, are conducted through interpreters.For many years, American dollars no longer buy all good things, and we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the world is changing. A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want this country to play a more significant role in world affairs; we want to have a hand in the important decisions of the next century, even though it may not always be the upper hand.81.It can be inferred that Americans being approached too closely by Middle Easterners would most probably ______A. stand stillB. jump asideC. step forwardD. draw back82.The author gives many examples to criticize Americans for their______.A. cultural self-centerednessB. casual mannersC. indifference towards foreign visitorsD. arrogance towards other cultures83.In countries other than their own most Americans______.A. are isolated by the local peopleB. are not well informed due to the language barrierC. tend to get along well with the nativesD. need interpreters in hotels and restaurants84.According to the author, Americans' cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance will______.A. affect their image in the new eraB. cut themselves off from the outside worldC. limit their role in world affairsD. weaken the position of the US dollar85.The author' s intention in writing this article is to make Americans realize that______.A. it is dangerous to ignore their foreign friendsB. it is important to maintain their leading role in world affairsC. it is necessary to use several languages in public placesD. it is time to get acquainted with other culturesTEXT BEvery profession or trade, every art and every science has its technical vocabulary, the function of which is partly to designate things or processes which have no names in ordinary English, and partly to secure greater exactness in nomenclature. Such special dialects, or jargons, are necessary in technical discussion of any kind. Being universally understood by the devotees of the particular science or art, they have the precision of a mathematical formula. Besides, they save time, for it is much more economical to name a process than to describe it. Thousands of these technical terms are very properly included in every large dictionary, yet, as a whole, they are rather on the outskirts of the English language than actually within its borders.Different occupations, however, differ widely in the character of heir special vocabularies. In trades and handicrafts, and other vocations, like farming and fishery, that have occupied great numbers of men from remote times, the technical vocabulary, is very old, It consists largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have worked themselves into the very fiber of our language. Hence, though highly technical in many particulars, these vocabularies are more familiar in sounds; and more generally understood, than most other technicalities. The special dialects of law, medicine, divinity, and philosophy have also, in their older strata, become pretty familiar to cultivated persons, and have contributed much to the popular vocabulary. Yet every vocation still possesses a large body of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even to educated speech. And the proportion has been much increased in the last fifty years, particularly in the various departments of natural and political science and in the mechanic arts. Here new terms are coined with the greatest freedom and abandoned with indifference when they have served their turn. Most of the new coinages are confined to special discussions, and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays, as ail professions once were, a close guild. The lawyer, the physician, the man of science, the divine, associates freely with his fellow-creatures, and does not meet them in a merely professional way. Furthermore, what is called" popular science" makes everybody acquainted with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment, though made in a remote or provincial laboratory is at once reported in the newspapers, and everybody is soon talking about it - as in the case of the Roentgen rays and wireless telegraphy. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.86. In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the number of technical terms in the nomenclatureof______.A. governmentB. sportsC. fishingD. natural science87. This passage is primarily concerned with ______.A. a new languageB. technical terminologyC. scientific undertakingsD. popular science88.

Unlike other forms of life, human beings are born with a capacity to reflect on this task and to search for better solutions by conscious thought and careful choices. The task of overcoming conflicts and achieving community life and cooperation arises because human beings are unable and unwilling to live in complete isolation. The advantages of cooperation and community life are so numerous and so obvious that they must have been evident to man from earliest times. By now, our ancestors have closed off the choice; for most of us the choice of total isolation from a community is,realistically speaking, no longer open. Nevertheless, however strongly human beings are driven to seek the company of one another, and despite thousands of years' practice, they have never discovered a way in which they can live together without conflict. Conflict exists when one individual wishes to follow a line of action that would make it difficult or impossible for someone else to pursue his own desired. Conflict seems to be an incapable aspect of the community and consequently of human beings. Why conflict seems inescapable is a question that has troubled many people: philosophers, historians, social scientists, doubtless a great many ordinary propel." Conflict is built into the very nature of men and women," said James Madison," Human beings have diverse abilities, and these in turn produce diverse interests."93. The main point of this passage is that______.A. human beings by their nature will always conflict with each otherB. James Madison made many thoughtful comments about human beings as social animalsC. our need for fellowship and the advantages of cooperation create communitiesD. humans have not yet been able to achieve complete harmony and to live without conflict94. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage ?A. The basic task for humans and other forms of life on this planet is to deal with their conflicts successfully.B. James Madison said that the varied interests in civilized nations divide them into different classes with different views.C. To exist without conflict would mean fear and danger of death.D. Conflict exists when people live in complete isolation.95. It can be concluded from the passage that______.A. conflict can be overcome if we live and work aloneB. it is impossible for human beings to avoid conflict with one anotherC. the best solution to the problem of conflict is isolation from the communityD. human beings have found the way to deal with their conflictsTEXT ENursing at Beth Israel Hospital produces the best patient care possible. If we are to solve the nursing shortage, hospital administration and doctors everywhere would do well to follow Beth Israel's example.At Beth Israel each patient is assigned to a primary nurse who visits at length with the patient and constructs s full- scale health account that covers everything from his medical history to his emotional state. Then she writes a care plan centered on the patient's illness but which also includes everything else that is necessary.The primary nurse stays with the patient through his hospitalization, keeping track with his progress and seeking further advice from his doctor. If a patient at Beth Israel is not responding to treatment, it is not uncommon for his nurse to propose another approach to his doctor. What the doctor at Beth Israel has in the primary nurse is a true colleague.Nursing at Beth Israel also involves a decentralized nursing administration; every floor, every unit is a self-contained organization. There are nurse-managers instead of head nurses; in addition to their medical duties they do all their own hiring and dismissing, employee advising, and they make salary recommendations. Each unit' s nurses decide among themselves who will work what shifts and when.Beth Israel's nurse-chief ranks as an equal with other vice presidents of the hospital. She also is a member of the Medical Executive Committee, which in most hospitals includes only doctors.96. Which of the following best characterizes the main feature of the nursing system at Beth Israel Hospital?A. The doctor gets more active professional support from the primary nurse.B. Each patient is taken care of by a primary nurse day and night.C. The primary nurse writes care plans for every patient.D. The primary nurse writes health account for every patient.97. The main difference between a nurse-manager and a head nurse is that the former __。
