Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞)in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”．In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard againstothers?51.While taking a taxi in Finland，________.A. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi rideB. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverC. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before they leave withoutpaying52. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland____.A. are mostly poorly managedB. provide meals for any dinersC. provide free wine and charge for foodD. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels53. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.B. The workers are always honest with their working hours.C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.D. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.54. The word “those” i n Paragraph 5 probably means________.A. people who often take taxisB. people who are dishonestC. people who are worthy of trustD. people who often have meals in big hotels55. It can be learned that________.A. all the Finns are richB. Finland has been a good place for cheatsC. the Finnish society is of very high moral level(道德水平)D. Finnish people are not smart enough in daily lifeBRuben lived in a small village. There was no school there and he had to study in a school in the town. It was nearly five kilometres away from his village. His father couldn't buy a bike for him and he had to go to school on foot. He got up early in the morning. Usually he had to run there in order not to miss the first class. He kept running every day and it was helpful to him. He’s strong and tall now and he ran faster than any other man in his village. He took part in several sports meetings and won some medals. The young man is proud and always wants to have a race with others.One day his mother was ill and his father told him to buy some medicine for headache in thetown. The young man got there soon. There were many people in the chemist's shop while he was waiting there. And when his turn came, he couldn’t find his money. An old woman hinted（暗示）a young man had stolen it. He saw the thief had already left the shop. He ran towards him quickly. The thief found it and began to run. He was happy and tried to catch up with him.“Let’s have a race and see who will run faster,” Ruben called out behind.Soon after that he caught up with the thief. But he didn't stop and went on running. At a c rossing one of his friends asked, “What are you running for, Ruben?”“I’m running after a thief. ”“Where’s the thief, then?”“He wants to show that he’ll run faster than me, but he’s fallen behind!”56. Ruben had to run to school because ______________.A. he had no bikeB. he hoped to win some medalsC. his village was a little far from the schoolD. he was afraid to be late for class57.______________ , so he won some medals.A. Ruben is good at runningB. Ruben went to school on timeC. Ruben often took part in the sports meetings.D. Ruben likes to have a race with others60. Ruben was happy because ______________.A. he could easily catch the thiefB. he had a chance to have a raceC. he knew who had stolen his moneyD. he would win another medal that dayCNearly half of all women in the United States suffer from increased stress during the holidays. One of the reasons is higher levels of comfort eating, drinking and other things that can lead to weight gain. It is not uncommon for people to eat for comfort when they feel sad, angry, hopeless, bored or lonely. According to a survey, one in four people in the United States agrees that “when I am feeling down or facing a problem, I turn to food to help me feel better.”Comfort eating and unhealthy drinking increases among men too, but is more common among women. Forty-one percent of women in the survey agree that they eat for comfort during the holidays. Among men, 25 percent report holiday-season comfort eating.Women still tend to do more of the planning, and more of the social and family organizing for the holidays. “Too true,” said Sissy McPhearson. “My husband and I both work, and normally we divide household tasks equally. But during the holidays he doesn’t care as much about decorating（装饰）the house or wrapping presents or hosting dinners — so I end up doing it all even though I work full-time.”McPhearson says that the stress of preparing for holidays, plus more invitations to go out, makes it easier for many to rea ch out for that extra drink. “I go out a lot more now, maybe three or four nights a week，and have a couple of drinks. Usually I just go out maybe once a week,” she said.Among the healthier methods experts suggest to deal with the holiday stress are saying no to that serving of delicious roast beef, lasagna（烤宽面条）or chilled glass of white wine.61. According to the passage, what is “comfort eating”?A. Eating expensive food.B. Eating delicious food.C. Eating food to relax.D. Eating healthy food.62. How many women do holiday-season comfort eating according to the survey?A. 25%.B. 31%.C. 50%.D. 41%.63. Who often do more of the family organizing during the holidays?A. The father.B. The mother.C. The parents.D. The children.64. People go out and have drinks probably because ________.A. they look forward to a new tasteB. they have found a peaceful place to relax inC. of the cheap price of an extra drinkD. someone invites them for dinner65. How should women deal with “holiday stress” according to this passage?A. Eat less delicious beef and drink less white wine.B. Have more holidays.C. Go to the gym after the holidays.D. Go out to take invitations.第二节：信息匹配：（共5小题，每题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
