第三部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)

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，并在答题上将该项涂黑。

A

A woman from Japan，who had visited major business and investment companies in New York City，was telling a friend about her trip to the U．S..“I studied English before I left home.But I still was not sure that people were speaking English.”

Her problem is easy to understand.Americans in business are like people who are in business anywhere.They have a language of their own.Some of the words and expressions deal with the special areas of their work.Other expressions are borrowed from different kinds of work such as the theater and movie industry.

One such saying is “get your act together”．

When things go wrong in a business，an employer may get angry.He may shout，“Stop making mistakes.Get your act together.”

Or，if the employer is calmer，he may say，“Let us get our act together.”

Either way，the meaning is the same.Getting your act together is getting organized.In business，it usually means to develop a calm and orderly plan of an action.

It is difficult to tell exactly where the saying began.Perhaps one of the actors was nervous and made a lot of mistakes.The director may have said，“Calm down，now.Get your act together.”

Word expert James Rogers says the expression was common by the late 1970s.He says The Manchester Guardian used it in 1978.The newspaper said a reform policy required that the British government get its act together.

Now，this expression is heard often when officials of a company meet.One company even calls its yearly report，“Getting Our Act Together”．

56．Paragraph 1 is written mainly to ________.

A．tell us the Japanese woman’s English is poor

B．lead to the subject of the whole passage

C．tell us it is important to grasp spoken English

D．tell us traveling in the U．S.is very difficult

57．The reason why the woman was not sure that people were speaking English was that ________.

A．they spoke too fast to follow

B．they didn’t want the woman to learn their experience

C．they had some special words and expressions of their own in their field

D．they were from the theater and movie industry

58．The saying “get your act together” in Paragraph 3 means “________”．

A．Don’t do that again B．You are dismissed

C．Calm down D．Get organized

59．The best title for the passage is ________.

A．Different countries，different languages

B．The experience in the U．S.

C．The expression and its story：get your act together

D．How to learn English well

B

How Much to Tip

You’re out to dinner.The food is delicious and the service is fine.You decide to leave a big fat tip.Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think.

Tipping, psychologists have found, is not just about service.Instead, studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors from the waiter’s choice of words, to how they carry themselves while taking orders, to the bill’s total.Even how much waiters remind customers of themselves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night.

“Studies before have shown that mimicry (模仿) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker，” wrote Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor.“These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimics them.”

So Rick van Baaren divided 59 waiters into two groups.He requested that half serve with a phrase such as, “Coming up！” Those in the other half were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers.Rick van Baaren then compared their take-home.The results were clear － it pays to mimic your customer.The copycat(模仿者) waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.

Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at Washington University in St.Louis, found the generosity of a tipper may be limited by his bill.After research on the 1,000 tips left for waiters, cabdrivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers’ bills went up.In fact, tip percentages appear to plateau (达到稳定水平) when bills topped $100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for $100.

“That’s also a point of tipping，” Green says.“You have to give a little extra to the cab driver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you.If they weren’t there, you’d never get any service.So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.”

60．Apart from service, how many other factors affecting the customers’ tipping are mentioned in the passage?

A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4.

61．These studies show that ________.

A．tippi
