14.To pay to see that movie seems foolish         you can see it on television for free.(  )
A.beforeB.thoughC.whenD.once

分析 付钱去看那部电影似乎很愚蠢,既然你可以在电视上免费观看.

解答 答案:C.根据you can see it on television for free可知你可以在电视上免费观看,所以两句之间是让步关系,表示既然你可以在电视上免费观看,付钱去看那部电影似乎很愚蠢.所以答案是C when"既然".其他选项的含义分别是A"在…一前";B"尽管",位于句首;D"一旦".

4.It's still there,the Vietnamese school where my brother and I used to go.Even with a new coat of paint and the high wire fence,the school I knew ten years ago remains the same.
      Every day at 5 p.m.,instead of flying kites with our friends,my brother and I had to go to Vietnamese school.No amount of kicking,screaming,or arguing could stop my mother,who was determined to have us learn the language of our culture.She held us by the collar and walked with us the seven long,hilly blocks from our home to school,leaving our tearful faces before the front of the school.
    We all sat in little chairs in a big empty room,which had a slight smell of old clothes that had been stored for a long time.I hated that smell.There was a stage far to the right,with an American flag on one side and the flag of the Republic of Vietnam on the other side.
      Although the school mainly taught language----speaking,reading,dictation----the lessons always began with an exercise in politeness.With the entrance of the teacher,the best student would tap a bell and everyone would get up,and say in Vietnamese,"How are you,teacher?"
      The language always made me embarrassed.More often than not,I had tried to separate myself from the loud voice that followed me whenever I went to the American supermarket outside our area.The voice belonged to my grandmother,a small old woman who could shout louder than anyone on the street.Her Vietnamese was quick,it was loud,and it was not beautiful.
      In our area,the comings and goings of hundreds of Vietnamese on their daily tasks sounded crazy.I did not want to be thought of as being mad,as talking stupid.When I spoke English,people nodded at me,smiled and encouraged me.Even Vietnamese people would laugh and say that I'd do well in life.
My brother was even stricter than I about speaking English.He was especially cruel towards my mother,scolding her for her poor English.Bits of Vietnamese were often mixed in her conversation.
After two years of struggle,I finally divorced my culture.I was permitted to stop Vietnamese school.I thought of myself as American.At last,I thought I was one of you; I wasn't one of them.
 Sadly,I am only an American.

2.A lot of us lose life's battles by starting a frontal (正面的) attack when a touch of humor might well enable us to win.Consider the case of a young friend of Sam,who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late.Although there was a good reason for Sam's being late-serious illness at home-he decided that the by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer.His boss was probably preparing a dismissal (解雇) speech.
Yes,the boss was.Sam entered the office at 9:35.The place was as quiet as a locker room.Everyone was hard at work.Sam's boss came up to him.Suddenly,Sam forced a smile and stretched out his hand."How do you do!"he said,"I'm Sam Maynard.I'm applying for a job,which,I understand,became available just 35 minutes ago.Does the early bird get the worm?"
The room exploded in laughter.The bossclamped off a smile and walked back to his office.Sam Maynard had saved his job-with the only tool that could win a laugh.
Humor is a very effective means of handling the difficult situations in our life.It can be used for apologizing,saying"no",getting someone to do what you want.For some jobs,it's the only tool that can succeed.It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogues may start a quarrel.For example,many believe that comedians (喜剧演员) on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other public places.
59.Why was Sam late for his job?C
A.Because he didn't like the job.
B.Because he got up late.
C.Because he was caught in a traffic jam.
D.Because he was busy applying for a new job.
60.The underlined phrase"clamped off"in Paragraph 3 most probably means"A".
A.tried to hold back               
B.tried to set aside
C.focused on                      
D.gave out
61.Which of the following can we infer from the text?B
A.People lose only battles because of lacking a sense of humor.
B.It wasn't the first time that Sam had been late for his work.
C.Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.
D.Humor is the most effective way to solve problems.
62.The main idea of this text isB.
A.Sam saved his job with humor     
B.humor is important in our life
