二、阅读理解

Last summer, I took my first airplane flight from London

to New York. I boarded the plane at Croydon Airfield and,

from that moment on, my life was arranged for me on the

trip. First, I was directed to my seat by the stewardess.

Then, when the plane was ready to take off, the other

passengers and I were told to fasten our seat belts. A few

minutes after take-off, magazines and newspapers were

passed out. Because my ears hurt, I was given some gum to

chew. Next, we were given instructions on what to do in

case of an emergency. We were given earphones to listen to

music and told that a movie would be shown after dinner.

Before dinner, we were asked if we wanted a cocktail.

Dinner was served on a tray, but it was attractive and

delicious. We were permitted to have a refill on any

beverage. After dinner, we were shown a new Hollywood movie.

When I felt cold, I was given a blanket and when I felt

airsick, I was given a paper bag. Everything was done for

the comfort of the passengers. When the plane landed, I was

almost sorry to get off and have to start doing things for

myself again.

some gum.

to Landon last summer.

谜底：B

A characteristic of American culture that has become

almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man - the

man who has risen to the top through his own efforts,

usually beginning by working with his hands. While the

leader in business or industry or the college professor

occupies a higher social position and commands greater

respect in the community than the common laborer or even

the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out

that his father started life in America as a farmer or

laborer of some sort.

This attitude toward manual (体力的) labor is now still

seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to

dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even

luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every

evidence of the fact that the family has been able to

afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college

education for the children; yet the hostess probably will

cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will

wash dishes afterward; furthermore, the dinner will not 创作时间：二零二一年六月三十日

创作时间：二零二一年六月三十日 consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled

from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at

the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually

takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A

professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his

flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with

these things, just as he often helps her with the

dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on

table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer

he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order

to pay for his education.

11.From Para. 1, we know that in America _________.

A.people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man

B.people can always rise to the top through their won

efforts

C.college professors win great respect from common workers

D.people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors

谜底：A

12.According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner

herself mainly because _________.

A.servants in America are hard to get.

B.she takes pride in what she can do herself

C.she can hardly afford servants

D.it is easy to prepare a meal with canned food
