1、根据下面内容，回答题
Many visitors find the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One' s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment.
At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. Drivers will rush you ; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you ; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well.
Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to "push back", just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be. If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly-looking person and say, "I am a stranger here. Can you help me?"
Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find your way, or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged : just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.

A． America is a highly developed country
B． American city people seem to be always in a rush
C． the fast pace in American life often causes much trouble
D． Americans are important and unfriendly people

4、 Passage 2
Questions are based on the following passage.
The top of the world is a wonderland. In winter, the temperature often falls to -30~F and the sun never rises. The ocean is surrounded by frozen ground. There are few people or trees, but to polar bears, the Arctic(北极) is home.
(78) Polar bears have thick fur, big paws and other features that make them well prepared for life in their tough environment. In fact, they need the Arctic sea ice for survival, But climate change is causing larger and larger areas of summer sea ice to melt (融化). Experts say that if warming patterns continue, the Arctic could be free of summer sea ice by 2050. That may cause two-thirds of the word' s 20,000 polar bears to be gone by then too.
Polar bears can' t survive for long on land. Seals are their main source of food. The only place where polar bears can hunt seals is on the ice. (79) Although these bears are strong swimmers, they are no match for lightning swirl seals in the water. A polar bear has brilliantly clever strategies to overcome this disadvantage. In winter the bear waits motionless beside a seal' s breathing hole, which is a narrow tunnel through the ice. Often many hours pass before the seal comes up for air and thc bear kills it with a powerful blow of its paw. In summer, the polar bears that live on land cat very little and wait for the sea ice to return.
With the sea ice forming later in the year and melting earlier, polar bears do not have enough opportunity to hunt and eat. Less sea ice makes it harder for the bears to catch the seals. The bears must swim longer distances between ice packs (大片浮冰), and they can' t always make it. The ice is also getting thinner. These conditions can cause polar-bear cubs to become separated from their mothers, who provide them with food.
Steven Amstrup is the chief scientist of Polar Bear International. The group aims to save the bears and their home. "The more people who see polar bears and understand their difficult situations, the better the chance we' 11 alter our warming path in time to save them," he says.
Which is the best title for the passage?

简答题
10、During the middle of the 19th century, 51． Germany, along with other European nations, suffered from workplace deaths and accidents as a result of growing industrialization． 52． Driven in part by Christian love for the helpless as well as a practical political impulse to undercut the support of the socialist labor movement, Chancellor Bismarck created the world's first workers' compensation law
in 1884．
By 1908, the United States was the only industrial nation in the world that lacked workers'compensation insurance． America's injured workers could sue for damages in a court of law, but they still faced a number of legal barriers． 53． For example, employees had to prove that their injuries directly resulted from employer negligence and that they themselves were ignorant about potential dangers in the workplace． The first state workers' compensation law in this country passed in 1911, and the program soon spread throughout the nation．
After World War II , benefit payments to American workers did not keep up with the cost of living．
In 1970, President Richard Nixon set up a national commission to study the problems of workers'compensation． Two years later, the commission issued 19 key recommendations, including one that called for increasing compensation benefit levels to 100 percent of the states' average weekly wages．
In fact, the average compensation benefit in America has climbed from 55 percent of the states' average weekly wages in 1972 to 97 percent today． 54． But, as most studies show, every l0 percent increase in compensation benefits results in a 5 percent increase in the numbers of workers who file for claims． 55．And with so much more money floating in the workers' compensation system, it's not surprising that doctors and lawyers have helped themselves to get a large slice of the growing pie．
