2019年下半年学位英语考试练习及答案8
A great difference between American social customs and those of other countries is the way in which names are used. Americans have little concern for “rank”, especially socially. Most Americans do not want to be treated in any especially respectful way because of their age or social rank; it makes them feel uncomfortable. Many Americans even find the terms “Mr.”, “Mrs” or “Miss” too formal. People of all ages may prefer to be called by their first names. “Don’t call me Mrs Smith. Just call me Sally.” Using only first names usually indicates friendliness and acceptance. However, if you do not feel comfortable using only first names, it is quite acceptable to be more formal. Just smile and say that after a while you will use first names but you are accustomed to being more when you first meet someone.
Very often, introductions are made using both first and last names: “ Mary Smith, this is John Jones.” In this situation you are free to decide whether to call the lady “Mary” or “Miss Smith”. Sometimes both of you will begin a conversation using last names, and after a while one or both of you may begin using first names instead. You have a choice: if you don’t want to use first names so quickly, no one will think it impolite if you continue according to you own custom.

PASSAGE 1
美国与其他国家社会习俗的一个显著不同是名字的使用方式。美国人很少关注“级别”，特别是在社交方面。多数美国人不想因其年长或者级别高而受到特别的尊敬。这种特别的尊敬会让他们感到局促不安。很多美国人甚至认为称呼“先生”、“女士”和“小姐”过于正式。他们无论年长或者年少可能更愿意别人称他们的名字。“不要称呼我史密斯女士，就叫我萨利好了。”只称呼名字常常意味着友好和接纳。但是如果只称呼名字你会感到不安，正式一些是完全可以接受的。只要微笑着说过一会儿你会称呼名字，但是一、次见面你习惯于比较正式的称呼。
通常介绍时会同时使用姓和名：“玛丽·史密斯，这位是约翰·琼斯。”在这种情况下，你可以自由决定称呼这位女士“玛丽”还是“史密斯小姐”。你们有时会以称呼对方的姓开始交谈，不久其中一人或两人同时开始称呼名字。你可以选择：如果你不想这么快就称呼名字，没有人会认为你按照自己的习惯继续称呼姓氏是不礼貌的。
答案解析：
1. D 一段讲道美国人很少关注“级别”，特别是在社交方面。多数美国人不想因其年长或者级别高而受到特别的尊敬。这种特别的尊敬会让他们感到局促不安。比较四个选项，D的意思准确、符合原文。
2. C 一段原文提到 多数美国人因其年长或者级别高而受到特别的尊敬时会感到局促不安。所以选C。 “uncomfortable” 在本文中应该理解为“局促不安的”(ill at ease; uneasy).
3. D 一段结尾提到 如果只称呼名字你会感到不安，正式一些是完全可以接受的。只要微笑着说过一会儿你会称呼名字，但是一次见面你习惯于比较正式的称呼。所以与美国人谈话并不一定必须(have to)称呼名字。
4. B 从引文的上下文中可以推断出 “Mrs. Smith”是比较正式的称呼，而美国人更喜欢直接称呼名字。所以选择 B
5. A 本文主要介绍美国的社会习俗 — 社交场合的称呼，与历史无关、不是通知的形式、更不是短篇小说。所以可能出现在旅游指南上。
Passage 2
Questions 6-10 are based the following passage
Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end-with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” “Drink Good’n Wet Root Beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!”
The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed-new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with you legs crossed, with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.
6. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?
A. Buses on the road.
B. Films on television.
C. Advertisements on the board.
D. Gas stations.
7. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.
B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.
C. To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.
D. To describe the billboards along the road.
8. The writer of this passage would probably favor
A. bus drivers who weren’t reckless
B. driving alone
C. a television set on the bus
D. no billboards along the road
9. The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because
A. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun
B. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between
C. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses
D. both traveling and watching TV are not exciting
10. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are
A. exciting B. comfortable C. tiring D. boring
