第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项There are two things I can count on my dad asking every time he calls me: “Is there anything I can do for you?” and “How’s the car?” I guess he asks what he can do for me because his dad (an air force officer) was never really there for him, and he’s determined to provide me with the support he lacked. During my youth he never missed a school play or softball game. In fact, he was so supportive that I sometimes longed for one of those dads who dressed better and cared less. But my dad would forever be the guy wearing shorts with dress shoes and black socks, cheering me on, expecting greatness.
His other standard question?How’s the car??used to strike me as a waste of long-distance dollars from a man who once suggested making a list of what you want to talk about before calling someone out of state. What I now realize is that “How’s the car?” is not about the car. It’s a father’s way of asking his adult daughter how she is doing. The advantage is that if there’s something wrong with the car, he knows what to do about it and how much it will cost, whereas if you’re having problems about marriage or doubting a career choice, he might have to put Mom on the line.
At age thirty I finally took the plunge (跳进) into adulthood by renting a car without my dad’s help or advice. I’m sure my dad was hurt rather than proud. Though a daughter’s independence is evidence of a job well done, it still implies the job’s done, and many fathers are reluctant to retire. Even when my dad was overworked, he’d happily jump on a plane if I said I needed help. His frequent question “Is there anything I can do for you?” underlines the fact that he wishes there was still something he could provide. It’s interesting: even though we’re tied by blood and I love him no matter what, he still seems to need a concrete function?suggesting stocks, finding the cheapest plane fare?to feel he has a role in my life.
21. The author’s father always showed up in his daughter’s school activities to _________.
A. show his own lack of fatherly love B. support her in all possible ways
C. guarantee she would perform well D. watch them out of his own curiosity

A. reminding her not to waste money
B. asking his daughter if the car breaks down or not
C. asking how his daughter is getting along
D. expressing his concern for her daughter’s safety
23. According to the author, her father is unwilling to retire probably because _________.
A. he is doubtful of her independence B. he wants to continue to earn money
C. he is afraid of losing connection with her D. he won’t put an end to caring for her

Dear Hamilton,
We are fortunate that in such a large, high-pressure office we all get along so well. You are one of the people who keep the social temperature at such a comfortable setting. I don’t know anyone in the office who is better liked than you.
You can perhaps help with this. The collection of contributions towards gifts for employees’ personal-life events is becoming a little troubling. Certainly, the group sending of a gift is reasonable now and then. In the past month, however, there have been collections for two baby shower gifts, one wedding shower gift, two wedding gifts, one funeral (葬礼) remembrance, four birthday gifts, and three graduation gifts.
It’s not only the collected?from who are growing uncomfortable (and poor), but the collected?for feel uneasy receiving gifts from people who don’t know them outside the office, who wouldn’t even recognize their graduating children, their marrying daughters and sons, or their dead relatives.
This is basically a kind gesture (and one that people think well of you for), but the practice seems to have become too wide-ranging and feels improper in today’s office setting.
Thank you for understanding.
25. The underlined word “contributions” probably means _____.
A. understanding B. suggestions
C. money D. reports
26. Hamilton is expected to _____.
A. discontinue the present practice
B. know more about co-workers’ families
C. quit being the organizer for gift giving
D. show more kindness
27. This is basically a letter of _____.
A. apology B. dissatisfaction
C. appreciation D. sympathy
C
Square dancing is a form of entertainment and physical exercise, which is a good thing. However, a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby residents. The local court even served a summons (传票) related to a certain Ms. Wang.
The news soon caused heated discussion across China, with many believing the incident to involve a cultural conflict between the East and West, while others view it as a form of discrimination against Chinese in the United States.
The United States is a diverse society, and in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated. Meanwhile, the United States is a society based on the rule of law, and due to cultural differences, local regulations seem to be very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem.
Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place, they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum. People from different nations are often supposed to reach compromises, respecting and tolerating each other.
Whatever your choice of entertainment, it is important not to affect other people’s lives. Square dancing is only one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior.
As for U.S. police practice, there might still be some room for improvement. Some were said to be rather rude, leading to the so-called “racial discrimination,” which is a sensitive topic in U.S. society.
If the involved parties could be more tolerant, and solve such problems without involving the court, perhaps immigrants would mix more.
28. The writer mentions the incident in Paragraph 1 to __________.
A. make complaints B. show his opinion
C. criticize the local police D. bring up the topic
29. What will the senior Chinese ladies most probably do after the incident?
A. Ask America to change its law. B. Keep the noise lower.
C. Go back to China. D. Fight for their right.
30. What’s the writer’s attitude towards senior Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park?
A. He strongly supports the action of the local police.
B. He considers it a shame for senior Chinese ladies to do so.
C. He thinks all parties involved should be more tolerant.
D. He suggests such kind of problem should be solved in the court.
31. Where could this passage most likely be taken from?
A. a story book B. a brochure C. a complaint letter D. a newspaper
D
