A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous, and helpful most Americans were to them. To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians should best be considered North Americans. There are of course exceptions. Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US. Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment.
For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence. Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion, and brought news of the outside world.
The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality. Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement. It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers. It reflected the harshness of daily life: if you didn’t take in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one else who would. And someday, remember, you might be in the same situation.
Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler. Yet, the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US, especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails. “I was just traveling through, got talking with this American, and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner -- amazing.” Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon, but are not always understood properly. The casual friendliness of many Amricans should be interpreted neither as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition.
As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals, assumptions, and conventions underlies all social interrelationships. And, of course, speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns. Visitors who fail to “translate” cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. For example, when an American uses the word “friend”, the cultural implications of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor’s language and culture. It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to distinguish between courteous convention and individual interest. Yet, being friendly is a virtue that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.
16. In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, ______.
A. rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US
B. small-minded officials deserve a serious comment
C. those who are not so friendly deserve a comment
D. Canadians are as friendly as their neighbors
17. The italicized phrase “take in”(Para.3) most probably means “______”.
A. appreciate B. admit
C. accommodate D. absorb
18. It could be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.
A. culture exercises an influence over social interrelationship
B. courteous convention and individual interest are interrelated
C. various virtues display themselves exclusively among friends
D. social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions
19. Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers ______.
A. out of a charitable impulse
B. in view of their long-distance travel
C. to improve their hard life
D. to add some flavor to their own daily life
20. The tradition of hospitality to strangers ______.
A. tends to be superficial and artificial
B. is generally well kept up in North America
C. is always understood properly
D. has something to do with the busy tourist trails

One of the things I really looked forward to in my retirement was the weekly shopping expedition. I imagined pushing the trolley slowly, around the supermarket and picking out odd items that took my fancy. But, alas, my innocent dreams were rudely shattered.
First it is necessary to secure a shopping trolley. Carefully designed not only to hold all shapes and sizes of purchases but also all ages and types of small children, a single trolley is hard to get out of the line of trolleys where it is parked. Each trolley defies separation from its fellows without sharp jerks or the assistance of two strong men.
The next lesson is that women never follow a logical route when shopping. Your wife has disappeared. After ten minutes of searching, when you eventually find her in a far comer, she enquires rather tersely: “Where have you been all this time, dear?”
Supermarket managers are sent on courses to learn how to tempt the customers and persuade them to buy goods they do not really need, at prices they are not able to afford. As a newcomer, I was a sucker for their clever techniques and took many goods off the shelves. But my innocence was soon curbed by my wife. “Put it back, dear.” “You’ve tried that before and didn’t like it”. “No, it’s too expensive.” I soon learnt to be a wheeler of trolleys and not a dealer in goods.
But the most frightening hazard is supermarket trolleys driven by the so-called weaker sex. These women adhere to no code and give no quarter, and constant evasive action is necessary to avoid skinned knuckles, crushed toes or bruised shins. Their usual parking methods are either sideways across the aisles, or side by side with a friend to exchange gossip, and a polite “Excuse me” from traffic usually meets with no response.
After the week’s groceries have been collected the last trial is passing through the checkout. Never join the shortest queue. It usually contains several shoppers who pay by writing out a personal check and who wait until all their purchases have been totaled up before beginning a frantic search through bulging handbags for elusive checkbooks. When the book eventually emerges, the customer never knows the date, asks again for the forgotten total and omits to put the address on the back.
Don’t be fooled, either, by thinking that this is the end of the exercise. When the check has been carefully examined by the cashier a bell rings, a red light flashed overhead and there is a further wait until a supervisor arrives to confirm that the check can be accepted. Then it is our turn and the checkout girl is so quick and efficient that we don’t have time to get out own checkbook ready. But the people who are packing our shopping are kind and give us cheery smiles.
When we emerge once more into the great outside world eggs are running down my trousers. Just before the eggs are crushed by the collision between two trolleys, I hear the voice of my wife call out: “Oops, dear, mind the trolley.” Shopping!
21. What does the author want to tell us in the passage?
A. The weekly shopping expedition in his retirement was exciting.
B. His joy of shopping was broken by many annoyances.
C. It is necessary to know how to use the shopping trolley properly.
D. People easily get lost in a big supermarket.
22. Which of the following is NOT true of a weekly shopping?
A. It is difficult to take a trolley from the line of trolleys.
B. It is difficult to go shopping with a woman following an illogical route.
C. It is difficult to resist the temptation of the promotion of goods.
D. It is difficult to avoid hurting the women.
23. The italicized word “curbed” (Para.4) probably means “______”.
A. corrected B. blamed
C. checked D. shattered
24. In the eyes of the author, supermarket managers are only too pleased ______.
A. to introduce the function of their goods
B. to promote their goods to the customers
C. to deal with the checks in doubt
D. to help the customers find the goods they need

A. ironical B. logical
C. elusive D. respective

Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and 30 a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, spend a lot of their winter in the dark 31 the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean has always 32 them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean 33 and beaches for the same reason: sun!
The huge crowds 34 lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy’s 30,000 hotels are 35 solid every summer. And 13 million people 36 out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere 37 .
But there are 38 that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted 39 on earth. And with increased tourism, it’s getting worse. The French can’t figure out what to 40 all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez.
26. A. Anothers B. Some C. Others D. Rest
27. A. taken B. took C. take D. taking

71. In a small hotel, all the functions may be combined and the duties performed by one person, be it the owner or an employee. The larger the hotel and the greater the volume, the more staff is needed to service the guests properly. The major convention hotels, with 1000 or more employees, require more supervisors, thus creating more departments and, as a result, assigning more specific duties to each employee.
Hotels vary not only in size but in character, in type of clientele, and in scope of activities. Every function exists, but priorities differ from hotel to hotel. The management of each must determine the departments, and the number of employees in each, needed for its own operation.
72. Generally there are two types of tour guides, one in charge of local sightseeing and the other accompanying a group throughout its travels and making all the arrangements for the group. In China, they are usually known as local guide and national guide. The sightseeing guide must be familiar with the points of interest that he is showing to the visitors. He usually gives prepared talk but he must also be prepared to answer a lot of questions. And of course he has to deal with any problems that occur during the tour. These may include bad weather, sudden illness, an accident and so on. It would be impossible to name everything that might happen. A sightseeing guide needs two qualifies---an outgoing personality and language skill.
The tour guide who stays with a group throughout its trip needs these two qualifies. He also needs to have a thorough knowledge of the workings of all kinds of transportation systems and regulations that the tourists will meet when going from one country to another.
