21、20】 D 阅读理解 I have had just about enough of being treated like a second-class citizen, simply because I happen to be that unfairly treated member of society - a customer. The more I go into shops and hotels, banks and post offices, railway stations, airports and the like, the more I am convinced the

22、things are being run solely to suit the firm, the system, or the union. There seems to be a deceptive (欺骗的 ) new motto for so-called “service” organizations - Staff Before Service. How often, for example, have you queued for what seems like hours at the Post Office or the supermarket because there w

23、ere not enough staff on duty to man all the service grilles or checkout counters Surely in these days of high unemployment it must be possible to hire cashiers and counter staff. Yet supermarkets, hinting darkly at higher prices, claim that uncovering all their cash registers at any one time would i

24、ncrease operating costs. And the Post Office says we cannot expect all their service grilles to be occupied “at times when demand is low”. It is the same with hotels. Because waiters and kitchen staff must finish when it suits them, dining rooms close earlier or menu choice is cut short. As for us g

25、uests, we just have to put up with it. There is also the nonsense of so many friendly hotel night porters having been thrown out of their jobs in the interests of “efficiency” and replaced by coin-eating machines which offer everything from lager to laxatives (从贮藏啤酒到通便剂 ). Not to mention the tea-mak

26、ing kit in your room: a kettle with a mixed collection of tea bags, plastic milk boxes and lump sugar. Who wants to wake up to a raw teabag I do not, especially when I am paying for “service”. Can it be stopped, this worsening of service, this growing attitude that the customer is always a bore I an

27、grily hope so because it is happening, sadly, in all walks of life. Our only hope is to hammer home our anger whenever and wherever we can and, if all else fails, bring back into practice that other, older slogan - Take Our Deal Elsewhere. 【小题 1】 The writer feels that nowadays customers _. A deserve

28、 the lowest status in society B are unworthy of proper consideration C have received high quality service D have become victims of modern organizations 【小题 2】 The writer argues that the quality of service is changing because _. A customers demands have greatly changed B the staff receive more consid

29、eration than customers C customers needs have become more complex D staff members are less considerate than their employers 【小题 3】 According to the writer, long queues at counters are caused by _. A not having enough male staff on duty B difficulties in hiring more efficient staff C lack of cooperat

30、ion between staff members D not providing enough staff on purpose to reduce budget 【小题 4】 The writer suggests that a customer _. A be patient when queuing before checkout counters B put up with the rude manners of the staff C try to control his temper when ill-treated D go to other places where good

31、 service is available 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 D They once seemed more at home on the busy streets of Asia like Delhi, Calcutta and Bangkok but cycle powered rickshaws (人力车 ) can now be seen taking people across town in many European cities. Many people believe that rickshaws are a good

32、 way of experiencing a city close-up, while also cutting down on traffic jams and pollution. In Berlin, one of the first cities to introduce this new model of transport, more than 200 bike-taxis go along at 15km per hour, past many tourist attractions and city parks. “It is completely environmentall

33、y friendly; we have new models with an engine to help the driver up the hills but they use renewable energy.” said a spokesman for VELOTAXI, the leading rickshaw company which has carried a quarter of a million people this year. While the city still has 7,000 motor-taxis, rickshaw company officials

34、say their taxis green ideas, speed and safety make them more than just a tourist attraction. While now increasingly out of fashion in Delhi, Berlin people have eagerly accepted the new fleet since their launch in 1997. “Its better than a taxi, better than a bus, better than the train,” said ULF Lehm

35、an, 36, as he leapt out of a rickshaw near the world famous Brandenburg gate. “ It feels so free.” “This is something out of the ordinary, you feel you are on holiday in Bangkok instead of Berlin,” said another traveler. In Amsterdam, driver Peter Jancso said people like to be driven around in his b

36、right yellow rickshaw and pretend to be a queen in a golden carriage. I like my passengers to feel important, he said as he dropped off another passenger. Another visitor noted how cheap it was compared with a normal taxi. Although increasingly popular in Europe, it is the opposite in India, where h

37、and-pulled rickshaws are considered inhuman and a symbol of Indias backward past. Nearly 500 bike-rickshaws are running in London and are not required to pay the citys road tax but things may change as other taxi drivers complain of unfair treatment. 【小题 1】 Where are rickshaws becoming more popular

38、A Delhi, Berlin, Paris. B Amsterdam, Bangkok, Delhi. C Athens, London, Berlin. D Berlin, Amsterdam, London. 【小题 2】 Why are rickshaws no longer as widely used in India as in the past A They are a reminder of a bad period in Indias history. B They have been banned because they are inefficient. C The s

39、treets of India are too crowded for them to move through easily. D Indians now prefer to travel by car because they are richer. 【小题 3】 What does the underlined sentence This is something out of the ordinary, you feel you are on holiday in Bangkok instead of Berlin suggest A The passenger didnt like

40、taking a rickshaw as it reminded him of Bangkok. B The passenger enjoyed being on holiday in Berlin more than in Bangkok. C The passenger was impressed when taking a rickshaw and considered it unusual. D The passenger disapproved of rickshaws because they were not original to Berlin. 【小题 4】 What is

41、the authors attitude towards rickshaws A He gives no personal opinion. B He believes they will be of no use. C He thinks they will reduce pollution. D He thinks they are old-fashioned. 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 A 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 A For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed mu

42、ch occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal. During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes

43、 pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them. One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, “Do y

44、ou think Im handsome, Miss Eyre ” The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: “No, sir.” “Ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.” “Sir, Im sorry. I should have said that beauty doesnt matter, or something like that.” “No, y

45、ou shouldnt! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab（刺） me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance your few good points.” I thought to myself that he might have too. He seem

46、ed to read my mind, and said quickly, “Yes, youre right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but

47、 I have done wrong. It wasnt my character, but circumstances that were at fault. Why do I tell you all this Because youre the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because youre sympathetic and give them hope.” “Dont be afraid of me, Miss Eyre.” He continued. “You dont relax or l

48、augh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. Youre like a bird in cage. When you get out of the cage, youll fly very high. Good night.” 【小题 1】 Which of the following cannot describe Miss Eyres first impression of Mr. Ro
