Passage 1Americans in business are like people who are in business anywhere, they have a language of their own.One such thing is "get your act together". When things go wrong in a business, an employer may get angry, he may shout "get your act together". "Getting your act together" is getting organized. In business it usually means developing a calm and orderly plan of action. It is difficult to tell exactly where the saying began. But it is probable that it was in the theater or movie industry. 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 Roger says the expression was common by the late 1970s.Another expression used by American business people is "cut to the chase". For example, at an important meeting of one company, one official was giving a very long and uninteresting report and some people were falling asleep. Finally the president of the company said "Cut to the chase". "Cut to the chase" means stopping spending so much time on details or unimportant material, hurrying and getting to the good part. This saying was started by people who make movies. Hollywood movie producers believe that most Americans want to see action movies. Many of their movies show scenes in which the actors chase each other in cars or in airplanes or on foot. "Cut" is the director's word for stop. The director means stopping filming to leave some material and getting to the chase scene now.21.The passage is mainly about____________.A. American business worldB. movie languageC. American business languageD. American businessmen22.The expression "get your act together" probably came from _____________.A. schoolsB. the theater or movie industryC. political fieldD. language labs23.The expression "get your act together" was popular _____________.A. by the late 1970sB. by the early 1970sC. by the late 1980sD. by the early 1980s24.The expression "cut to the chase" means______________.A. calm down and focus on the best partB. stop filming the uninteresting partsC. develop a calm and orderly plan of actionD. stop wasting time on details or unimportant material, hurry and get to the good part25."Chase" is the movie director's word for ______________.A. stopB. action moviesC. scenes in which the actors chase each other in cars or in airplanes or on footD. unimportant materialPassage 2Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to background music.To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing(舒适的) atmosphere. Recently, however, it's becoming a big business. An American marketing expert has shown that music can boost sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts (收入) by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer. The expert found that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the customers moving－unless, of course, the resulting indigestion (消化不良) leads to complaints.26.Background music was first used_____________.A. in the cinemas and theatres in the USAB. in the offices and hospitals in the USAC. in the schools and churches in the USAD. in the factories, shops and restaurants in the USA27.An American marketing expert has found background music can_____________.A. increase sales or factory production.B. create a soothing atmosphere.C. make people slow down.D. make people forget their worries.28.______________ has no effect on sales.A. light musicB. slow musicC. lively musicD. none of the above29.Slow music is useless in ___________ in increasing sales.A. shopsB. restaurantsC. factoriesD. cinemas30.Restaurants owners are advised to play ____________ to increase overall sales.A. lively musicB. loud musicC. slower musicD. faster musicPassage 3In sixteenth-century France, the start of the new year was observed on April first. It was celebrated in much the same way as it is today with parties and dancing into the late hours of the night. Then in 1562, Pope(教皇)Gregory introduced a new calendar (日历) to the Christian world, and the new year fell on January first.There were some people, however, who hadn't heard or didn't believe the change in the date, so they continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April first. Others played tricks on them and called them "April fools." They sent them on a "fool's errand" or tried to make them believe that something false was true.In France today, April first is called "Poisson d'Avril (April Fish)." French children fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends' backs. When the "young fool" discovers this trick, the prankster (恶作剧的人) yells "Poisson d'Avril!"Today Americans play small tricks on friends and strangers alike on the first of April. One common trick on April Fool's Day, is pointing down to a friend's shoe and saying, "Your shoelace is untied."Whatever the trick, if the innocent victim falls for the joke the prankster yells, "April Fool! "Some practical jokes are kept up the whole day before the victim realizes what day it is. Most April Fool jokes are in good fun and do not mean to harm anyone. The cleverest April Fool joke is the one that makes everyone laugh, especially the person upon whom the joke is played.31.The new year started ______________in sixteenth-century France.A. on January firstB. on February firstC. on April firstD. not mentioned in the passage32.The new year fell on January first in1562 because______________.A.
