14、either free or at a lower cost. Journalists feel that cost-conscious【 30】 are squeezing their ability to do serious and in-depth and unusual work. But we can check into the vast on-line network of bloggers and learn from somebody directly on the spot more facts than even the most lavishly funded rep

25、 bill at a hotel or restaurant “for the service“. In other places the customer may be expected to give a tip, or a small amount of money, as a sign of appreciation whenever services are performed. In the United States there is no consistent practice in regard to tipping. The custom is more common in

26、 a large city than in a small town. A native American may often be in doubt about when and how much to tip when he is in a city that is strange to him. In general, however, a tip is expected by the porter who carries your baggage, by taxi drivers (except, perhaps, in small towns), and by those who s

27、erve you in hotels and restaurants. When you pick up your incoming luggage at an airport, you may tip the man who takes it to the taxi or airport bus. He usually expects 35 cents a bag for his service. In some cities the taxi that takes you to your hotel may have one meter that shows the cost of the

28、 trip and another that shows a fixed charge, usually about 20 cents, for “extra“. In some cities the taxi driver may expect a tip in addition to the “extra“, especially if he carries your suitcase, ff no “extra“ is charged, a tip is usually given. Hotels generally do not make a service charge, thoug

29、h there are places where one is added. It is customary, however, to give something to the porter who carries your suitcases and shows you to your room. In case of doubt, 35 cents for each bag he carries is satisfactory. In a restaurant you generally leave about 15 percent of the bill in small change

30、 on that table as a tip for the person who has served you. A service charge is generally not included except in some of the larger, more expensive places. If the order is small-a cup of coffee at a lunch counter, or something of the sort-a tip is not usually expected. 46 A native American may feel i

31、n doubt about how to tip when he is in a new place because the tipping custom _. （ A） varies for personal services （ B） varies from place to place in the US （ C） is consistent only in large towns in the US （ D） is consistent only in small towns in the US 47 As to the author, the following are the pe

32、ople one may tip except _. （ A） porters （ B） taxi drivers （ C） waiters （ D） cleaners 48 Which of the following is not a correct understanding about the word “extra“ in giving a tip? （ A） Extra is a fixed charge in some cities. （ B） Extra is similar to a tip in some cases. （ C） If the “extra“ is paid

33、, one doesnt tip any more. （ D） Some hotels require people to pay an “extra“ service charge. 49 The amount of money for a tip _. （ A） is the same across restaurants and hotels （ B） depends on how much one pays for his meal （ C） generally varies according to the size of ones bag in a hotel （ D） is us

34、ually small for a cup of coffee at a lunch counter 50 Suppose we had a meal in a restaurant and the bill was 20 dollars, how much was the appropriate tip we would give to the waiter? （ A） 15 cents （ B） 35 cents （ C） 1 dollars （ D） 3 dollars 50 It is very difficult to say just when colonization began

35、. The first hundred years after Christopher Columbuss journey of discovery in 1492 did not produce any settlement on the North America continent but rather some Spanish trading posts further south, a great interest in gold and adventure, and some colorful crimes in which the English had their part.

36、John Cabot, originally from Genoa but a citizen of Venice, was established as a trader in Bristol, England, when he made a journey in 1497. But his ship, the Matthew, with its crew of eighteen, did no more than see an island ( probably off the New England coast) and return home. He and his son made

37、further voyages across the north Atlantic which enabled the English crown to claim a “legal“ title to North America. But for a long time afterwards the Europeans interest in America was mainly confined to the Spanish activities further south. The first beginning of permanent settlement in North Amer

38、ica was nearly a hundred years after Columbuss first voyage. The Englishman Sir Walter Raleigh claimed the whole of North America for England, calling it Virginia. In 1585 he sent a small group of people who landed in Roanoke Island, but they stayed only for a year and then went back to England with

39、 another expedition, led by Drake, in 1587. A second group who landed in 1587 had all disappeared when a further expedition arrived in 1590. The first permanent settlement in North America was in 1607. English capitalists founded two Virginia companies, a southern one based in London and a northern

40、one based in Bristol. It was decided to give the name New England to the northern area. The first settlers in Virginia were little more than wage slaves to the company. All were men and the experiment was not very successful. Many died. Those who survived lived in miserable conditions. By 1619 the c

41、olony had only a thousand people. 51 We know for sure that colonization began at the end of the 15th century. （ A） Y （ B） N （ C） NG 52 Among the early settlers in North America in the 16th century were Spanish traders. （ A） Y （ B） N （ C） NG 53 There were eighteen people on board the Matthew during i

42、ts voyage to North America in 14 （ A） Y （ B） N （ C） NG 54 The first attempt made by European people to settle down permanently in North America occurred in the 1580s. （ A） Y （ B） N （ C） NG 55 The name New England was given to the northern area of North America by the boss of one of the two Virginia

43、companies. （ A） Y （ B） N （ C） NG 55 People throughout the world enjoy hiking to wilderness campsites, usually on established trails. This activity is called backpacking because it involves carrying such essential camping gear as a tent, food, clothing, and sleeping bag on the back in a bag called a

44、backpack. Backpacking is best suited for those who are in good physical condition as it may require walking several miles. Moreover it is sometimes necessary to climb steep paths on mountainsides, cross small streams, and spend long days on the trail to reach a secluded, quiet, and solitary campsite

45、. The reward for this effort can be a serene mountain lake, beautiful views of the surrounding wilderness, and wildlife seen along the way. In most of the world, government agencies regulate camping activities by overseeing park systems, wilderness areas, and protected land. Some countries, however,

46、 have few regulations, and enthusiasts are allowed to camp anywhere on public land. In the United States, camping options for backpackers are abundant because of the hiking trails that crisscross lands managed by the National Park Service (a bureau of the United States Department of the Interior), t

47、he U.S. Forest Service, state parks, and the Interior Departments Bureau of Land Management. Some land management agencies, such as the National Parks Service, require that backpackers register and obtain permits (called backcountry reservations) before entering wilderness areas. Others simply requi

48、re that backpackers set up their campsite away from the trail and at least 30 meters from lakes, rivers, and streams to avoid polluting sources of drinking water. 56 What is a backpack? 57 Backpacking is most suitable for those healthy people because _. 58 People are enthusiastic about backpacking b

49、ecause it may give the reward of _. 59 American backpackers have abundant camping options thanks to _. 60 Why should backpackers be required to set up their campsite away from lakes and rivers? 60 The sixteenth international AIDS conference opened on Sunday in Toronto, Canada. More than twenty-four thousand delegates from one hundred thirty-two countries are attending the six-day conference
