It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me.    After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment(评论) about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.    I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.    Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!    When I asked for my bill about one hour later, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and presented me with a red rose. And I cried! What had begun as a lonely night ended as a beautiful experience. 4. The author asked for room service because _______.

If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communications is important. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness(准时) is valued highly in American life. For example, if people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the A.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. 8. If one makes a telephone call at dawn, this would mean ____.  A. the matter is of value            B. the matter is somewhat important  C. the matter requires attention      D. it is a matter of life and death 9. “The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m.” Here “attached” means ____. A. taken      B. drawn   C. given  D. shown ‎ ‎10. According to the passage, the author of the article may agree that ____. A. it is not appropriate to send your invitation cards only three or four days before a dinner party date in U. S. A. B. it is impolite to be prompt C. it is best for one to make telephone calls at night because it costs much less D. if one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology 11.What is the main idea of the passage ____. A. Time and tide wait for no man           B. The importance role of time in social life      C. The importance of an announcement  D. Time is treasure D Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events-love, sadness, good times, and bad times. It tells real-life stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more complicated(复杂), it is good to hear music about ordinary people. Country music, sometimes called country-western, comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern Unite States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the west. The singers usually play guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps（军营）in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country. Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1, 200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English, and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor southerners is now popular all over the world. 12. It can be learned from the passage that country music comes from_________- A. the Northeast and Midwest B. factories and army camps in the South C. the Appalachian Mountains and the West D. real-life stories in small towns 13. Before World War II country music was popular mainly in________. A. the south       B. the north C. the Midwest        D. the Northeast 14. During World War II many Southerners went to the Northeast and the Mid-west ‎ ‎ because____. A. they wanted to take music with them B. they wanted to make other people like country music C. they wanted to work in the factories there D. they wanted to make country music popular 15. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?        A. Country music is about human feelings and events. B. Country music is sung by stars all in English. C. Country music is popular among city people today. D. City people didn’t like country music at first 第二节(共5小题:每小题2分, 满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ What is a dream?‎ For centuries, people have wondered about the strange places that they seem to visit in their sleep. 16. _____ However, they have been valued as necessary to a person's health and happiness. ‎ Historically people thought dreams contained messages from God.
