    I fell in love with England because it was quaint (古雅)—all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.

    Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.

    I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.

    As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p.m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.

    The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.

    1.The writer doesn’t like London because she__________.

    A. is not used to the life there now

    B. has lived there for seventeen years

    C. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house

    D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there

    2.Where do people usually meet their friends in England?

    A. In a cafe.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. In a restaurant.

    C. In a nightclub.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  D. In a pub.

    3.The underlined part “it” (in Para.4) refers to__________.

    A. a taxi　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   B. the money

    C. a bomb　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    D. public transport

    4.The writer took her neighbor to France for Christmas because he__________.

    A. felt lonely in England

    B. had never been to France

    C. was from a typical French family

    D. didn’t like the British idea of family

     

    答案：1A2D3D4A
    解析：

    1、第二段首句“Things have changed.”明确点出:我所熟悉或习惯的伦敦已经改变了，变得我不适应了。

    2、该题为细节题。根据“To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub”可以判断出来。

    3、To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. 根据这句可知答案。

    4、参考文章最后一句话。

          I fell in love with the minister's son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese. For Christmas  I  prayed for the boy, Robert. When I found out that my parents had invited the minister's family over
    for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried in panic. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas?
    What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners?
          On Christmas Eve, my mother created abundant Chinese food. And then they arrived-the minister's
    family and all my relatives. Robert greeted hello, and I pretended he_was_not_worthy_of_existence. _
          Dinner threw me deeper into disappointment. My relatives licked (舔) the ends of their chopsticks
    and reached across the table. Robert and his family waited patiently for a large plate to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert made
    a face. Then my father reached his chopsticks just below the fish eye and picked out the soft meat.
    “Amy, your  favorite.”he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear.
          At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped(打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her
    fine cooking. “It's a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied.”explained my father to our
    astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face. The minister managed to
    bring up a quiet burp. I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night.
          After everyone had gone，my mother said to me，“You want to be the same as American girls
    on the outside.”She handed me an early gift.It was a miniskirt.“But inside you must always be Chinese.
    You must be proud that you are different.Your only shame is to have shame.”
          It was not until years later that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the purpose behind her
    particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen excellent Chinese food.

    1. When the writer found out the minister's family    would come for Christmas Eve dinner, she cried   
         mainly because ________.

    A. she worried about their shabby Chinese Christmas
    B. she worried about their Chinese relatives lacking American manners
    C. she worried about meeting the minister's family
    D. she worried about being laughed at

    2. What does “he was not worthy of existence” probably mean? It means________.

    A. the writer was not interested in his existence
    B. he was worthless
    C. he should not exist
    D. the writer expected his coming

    3. The dinner threw the writer deeper into disappointment mainly because________.

    A. her relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks
    B. her father reached his chopsticks to pick fish for her
    C. her father leaned back and burped loudly
    D. she childishly expected all of them to act in the same way as Americans at table

    4. We can infer from the passage that ________.

    A. the writer appreciated her mother's lesson years later
    B. the writer must be proud that she is different
