Read the following passages, and then answer the questions. (20%)Passage AIf you are ever lucky to be invited to a formal dinner party in Paris, remember that the French have their own way of doing things, and that even your finest manners may not be “correct”by French custom. For example, if you think showing up promptly at the time given on the invitation, armed with gifts of wine and roses, complimenting your hostess on her cooking, laughing heartily at the host’s jokes and then leaping up to help the hostess will make you the perfect guest, think again.Here Madame Nora Chabal, the marketing director of the Ritz Hotel in Paris, explained how it works.The first duty of the guest is to respond to the invitation within 48 hours. And, the guest may not ask to bring a guest because the hostesshas chosen her own.Flowers sent in advance are the preferred gift. They may also be sent afterwards with a thank-you note. It is considered a very bad form to arrive with a gift of flowers vase when she is too busy to do that.See, that’s the logic!The type of flowers sent has a code of its own, too. One must never send chrysan-themums because they are considered too humble a flower for occasion. Carnations are considered bad luck, and calla lilies are too reminiscent(令人联想）of funerals(葬礼）. A bouquet of red roses is a declaration of romantic intent. Don’t send those unless you mean it, and never to a married hostess. And though the French love wine, you must never bring a bottle to a dinner party. Why, it’s as if you feared your hosts would not have enough wine o n hand, and that’s an insult. You may, however, offer a box of chocolates which the hostess will pass after dinner with coffee.If an invitation is for eight o’clock, the considerate guest arrives at 8:15. Guests who arrive exactly on time or early are mere thoughtless ones who are not giving the hostess those last few minutes she needs to deal with details and crises. The “correct” guest arrives between 15 to 20 minutes after the hour because dinner will be served exactly 30 minutes past the time of the invitation.(1). Which of the following is right about sending flowers?A. If someone is dead, send chrysanthemums or calla lilies.B. If someone is ill in hospital, send carnations.C. If you are invited to a dinner party, send red roses to the hostess.D. If you are in love with someone, send red roses.(2). If you are too busy to send flowers in advance, what should you do?A. Bring a bouquet of flowers when you go to the party.B. Send a bouquet of flowers afterwards with a thank-you note.C. Bring a bottle of wine instead of a bouquet of flowers.D. The hostess will never mind if you send flowers or not.(3). What does the word“considerate”in the last paragraph mean?A. 尊敬的B. 值得考虑的C. 考虑周到的D. 相当多的(4). What is the passage mainly about?A. How to hold a dinner party.B. How to send flowers.C. Good manners at a French dinner party.(5). In France, if you are invited to a dinner party due at eight forty, what is the best time you arrive?A. 8:25.B. 8:10.C. 9:00.D. 8:35.Passage BOne silly question I simply can’t understand is “How do you feel?”Usually the question I asked of a man’s action—a man on the go, walking along the street or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right, ” but you’ve put a bug in his ear—maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he overlooked(忽略) that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else. “How do you feel?”Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for example, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying take a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays, was in his eighties, someone asked him, “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age, ” he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead. ”(6). According to the writer, greetin gs such as “How do you feel？”______.A. show one’s consideration for othersB. are a good way to make friendsC. are proper to ask a man in actionD. generally make one feel uneasy(7). The question “How do you feel？” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of ______.A. a man working at his deskB. a person having lost a close friendC. a stranger who looks worriedD. a friend who is ill(8). The writer seems to feel that a busy man should______.A. be praised for his effortsB. never be asked any questionC. not be bothered(烦扰)D. be discouraged from working so hard(9). George Bernard’s reply in the passages shows his______.A. cheerfulnessB. clevernessC. kindnessD. politeness(10). “You’ve put a bug in his ear” means that you’ve______.A. made him laughB. shown concern for himC. made fun of himD. given him some kind of warningPart III Writing.
