My mother spends days preparing a rich variety of seafood. The guest list seldom changes. It is made up of my aunt, Marcy
23、and her husband, my oldest brother, Sal, his wife, and their four children, my sister, Joann, her husband, and their two children, and my second brother, Richard, his wife, and their two children.My aunt and uncle always come heavily loaded with enough food and wine for a whole army. My brother Sal
24、and the gang usually show up an hour early and empty-handed. Joanns family is usually late while Richards group generally arrives on time, bearing gifts for everyone. I am in charge of getting the Christmas tree. Plenty of food is served at the dinner table, and all the hours of preparation are wolf
25、ed down in a matter of minutes. Along with the yearly repeated menu comes the yearly repeated conversation.Everyone talks about how good the food tastes. My mother then talks about all the supermarkets from which the fish was bought. This begins our period of comparison shopping. For at least 30 min
26、utes, we show how better we are than each other at mentioning the bargains we have found.Personally, I do not feel the need to be with a crowd on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve, to me, is a quiet time, a time to think deeply. The over-crowdedness and noise ruin my feelings about Christmas.（分数：4.00）(1)

29、ext mainly talk about?（分数：1.00）A.Comparison shopping for Christmas.B.The Christmas dinner at the writers house.C.The guests present at the writers Christmas dinner.D.Suggestions for how Christmas should be celebrated.BIn the United States, the biggest change in spending has been in the amount spent
30、on food, which has decreased from 46% of the total family budget in 1901 to 19% of present day totals. This is due to the fact that people are now able to buy more and better foods at lower prices. As a result of the growth in fast food restaurants (for example, McDonalds or KFC), more people are al
31、so eating out. Thus about 30% of todays food budget goes on meals eaten outside the home while a hundred years ago it was only 3%.At the beginning of the 20th century, few people owned their homes (only around 19% of working families) or cars (at about 1,000 per ear this was well above the average f
32、amily income of 650 per year), as most people were unable to borrow money. But there was a rapid rise in both home and car ownership during the mid-1900s.Free time increased considerably following the shortening of the working week, i.e. from six days to five, and from 10 hours to eight hours a day.
33、 In fact, the working clay couldnt be too long, otherwise people wouldnt have the time to spend their money. The amount of a familys budget spent on outside entertainment, such as parties, films and concerts has increased from just under 6% in Fords day to about 9% today. On the other hand, we spend
34、 only a quarter of what our great-grand-parents paid for reading materials.It is difficult to see how our spending patterns may change in the future. We already know that our population is aging and this will have an effect on the amount of money we spend on medicalcare.（分数：5.00）(1).What is the subj

37、eople spend less time and money than before?（分数：1.00）A.Shopping.B.Family gatherings.C.Traveling.D.Reading.(5).One possible change in the future is that people will _.（分数：1.00）A.spend less on entertainmentB.spend less eating outC.spend more on booksD.spend more on their healthCCandlelight bathes the
38、restaurant guests in a friendly light; the menu is about to be served. Stone guests are prepared to eat while others are looking around with nervous glances. Which knives and forks should be used first, and where should you put the napkin?For a while table manners were “out“. Now men and women aged
39、30 or so are rediscovering the finer points of being polite.Good manners give a pleasant impression. But how do you eat “properly“? The golden rule is to act silently. You should not talk to someone with your mouth full. When eating a five-course meal-a frequent event during the holiday season-guest
40、s neednt feel frightened by the variety of knives and spoons before them. You work your way towards the plate from the outside.Uncertain situations often can be mastered with common sense. For example, many unknown salad greens can be difficult to tell from one another, but you can cut them all with
41、 a knife. The napkin remains subject to special care. The correct way is to fold it in half and lay it on your lap.If you will leave your place, you should always place your napkin next to the plate. After the meal is finished, both cloth and paper napkins are folded and not thrown onto the plate.Th
42、e proper table manners can also serve professional advancement. If a choice has to be made among several people for an important position, the employer may choose to lunch with them. Those who make noise with their lips certainly wont stand a chance.（分数：4.00）(1).How would you understand “table manne
43、rs“ (Line 1, Para. 2)?（分数：1.00）A.Eat with knives, forks, and spoons.B.Choose proper kinds of food.C.Act properly while eating.D.Fold the napkin neatly all the time.(2).Guests who are unfamiliar with table manners often appear at dinner parties feeling _.（分数：1.00）A.uncertainB.regretfulC.improperD.dis

45、at good table manners are _.（分数：1.00）A.completely forgotten by young peopleB.brought back to peoples attentionC.used when making professional decisionsD.difficult to learn and practiseDWhere there is no law, there can be no crimes. The first question, therefore, is: Are there any international crime
46、s? And the answer is No-for several reasons. In the first place, there is no body of international law explaining what is meant by international crimes. Secondly, national laws are only useful within a particular country, However, efforts have been made to have certain actions internationally recogn
47、ized as crimes. It has been accepted by the countries which have joined Interpol ( 国际刑警组织) that any crime which has an international effect should be considered an international crime.This can be shown clearly by a recent case in India. An Englishman, pretending that he was a reporter of a leading B
48、ritish daily, canto to India. He showed great interest in the jewelry markets of Delhi and later bought a very expensive gold watch and a couple of gold rings.One shopkeeper, eager to sell his jewellery, willingly made a deal with him for 22,000 rupees; the only difficulty was the way of payment. Th
49、e foreigner gave two cheques drawn on the Bangkok branch of the Bank of America, which the shopkeeper accepted, admiring the customers wealth. The foreigner had, however, given worthless cheques and lost no time in leaving the country with his precious possessions.The cheques were refused by the bank. The shopkeeper went to the Indian office of Interpol. Interpol. Delhi, on request from the police, quickly got in touch with
