23、ost Americans were to them. To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American. 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 obs
24、ervation 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 tra
25、velers 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
26、 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 didnt take in the stranger or 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 ch
27、aritable 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 p
28、retty 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 Americans should be interpreted neither as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically
29、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.
30、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 visitors language and culture. It takes more than a brief encounter on
31、 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.（分数：5.00）(1).In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, _. A. rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US B.
32、small-minded officials deserve a serious comment C. Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbours D. most Americans are ready to offer help（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).It could be inferred from the last paragraph that _. A. culture exercises an influence over social interrelationship B. courteous conven
33、tion and individual interest are interrelated C. various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friends D. social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers _. A. to improve their hard life
34、B. in view of their long-distance travel C. to add some flavor to their own daily life D. out of a charitable impulse（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The tradition of hospitality to strangers _. A. tends to be superficial and artificial B. is generally well kept up in the united States C. is always understood p
35、roperly D. has something to do with the busy tourist trails（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Whats the authors attitude toward Americans friendliness? A. Favorable. B. Unfavorable. C. Indifferent. D. Neutral.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、BPassage 2/B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Despite the general negative findings, it is important to r
36、emember that all children who live through a divorce do not behave in the same way. The specific behavior depends on the childs individual personality, characteristics, age at the time of divorce, and gender. In terms of personality, when compared to those rated as relaxed and easygoing, children de
37、scribed as temperamental and irritable have more difficulty coping with parental divorce, as indeed they have more difficulty adapting to life changes in general. Stress,such as that found in disrupted families, seems to impair the ability of temperamental children to adapt to their surroundings, th
38、e greater the amount of stress, the less well they adapt. In contrast, a moderate amount of stress may actually help an easygoing, relaxed child learn to cope with adversity.There is some relationship between age and childrens characteristic reaction to divorce. As the child grows older, the greater
39、 is the likelihood of a free expression of a variety of complex feelings, an understanding of those feelings, and a realization that the decision to divorce cannot be attributed to any one simple cause. Self-blame virtually disappears after the age of 6, fear of abandonment diminishes after the age
40、of 8, and the confusion and fear of the young child is replaced in the older child by shame,anger,and self-reflection.Gender of the child is also a factor that predicts the nature of reaction to divorce. The impact of divorce is initially greater on boys than on girls. They are more aggressive, less
41、 compliant, have greater difficulties in interpersonal relationships, and exhibit problem behaviors both at home and at school. Furthermore, the adjustment problems of boys are still noticeable even two years after the divorce. Girls adjustment problems are usually internalized rather than acted out
42、, and are often resolved by the second year after the divorce. However, new problems may surface for girls as they enter adolescence and adulthood. How can the relatively greater impact of divorce on boys than on girls be explained? The greater male aggression and noncompliance may reflect the fact
43、that such behaviors are tolerated and even encouraged in males in our culture more than they are in females. Furthermore, boys may have a particular need for a strong male model of self- control,as well as for a strong disciplinarian parent. Finally, boys are more likely to be exposed to their paren
44、ts fights than girls are, and after the breakup, boys are less likely than girls to receive sympathy and support from mothers, teachers, or peers.（分数：5.00）(1).Temperamental, irritable kids have difficulty adapting to parental divorce because _. A. they care too much about the life changes B. the gre
45、at stress of their families diminishes their ability C. they tend to lose temper easily and are sensitive to the life change D. they are faced with more parents fights than the relaxed,easygoing children（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The following statements are true EXCEPT _. A. divorce is usually caused by
46、more than one reason B. a six-year-old boy may fear being deserted by his parents C. as the kids grow older,they have a better understanding of divorce D. a young girl may feel more shameful on parental divorce than an older boy（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).It can be inferred from the passage that the impact of divorce _. A. on kids of different sexes will probably change as they grow older B. may cause most kids difficulties in communicating with others C. on an irritable girl is greater than a noncompliant boy D. is always greater on boys than on girls（分数：1.00）A.B.
