Visitors to Britain may find the best place to sample local culture is in a traditional pub.But these friendly pubs can be dangerous places of potential gaffes (失礼) for the newcomers.
A team of researchers have discovered some of the unknown customs of British pubs—starting with the difficulty of getting a drink.Most pubs have no waiters—you have to go to the bar to buy drinks.A group of Italian youths were waiting 45 minutes before they realized they would have to fetch their own.This may sound inconvenient,but there is a hidden purpose.
Pub culture is designed to promote sociability (社交) in a society known for its reserve.Standing at the bar for service allows you to chat with others waiting to be served.The bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which friendly conversation with strangers is considered entirely suitable and really quite normal behavior.“If you haven’t been to a pub,you haven’t been to Britain.” This tip can be found in a booklet,Passport to the Pub:The Tourists’ Guide to Pub Etiquette,a customers’ rule of conduct for those wanting to sample “a central part of British life and culture”.
The trouble is that if you do not follow the local rules,the experience may fall flat.For example,if you are in a big group,it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinks.Nothing annoys the regular customers and bar staff more than a group of strangers blocking all access to the bar while they chat and hesitate about what to order.
1.The underlined word “sample” in the first paragraph probably means “________”.
A.taste
B.experience
C.test
D.record
2.The culture of pub in Britain is developed to________.
A.encourage people to communicate with each other
B.encourage more people to consume drinks
C.attract more tourists to the pubs
D.form its own character of culture
3.If you don’t follow the local rules in a pub,________.
A.you won’t buy good local drinks
B.you may annoy the regular customers and bar staff
C.you may fail to feel the local culture
D.you might get into a dangerous place
4.What may be the best title for the passage?
A.Selfservice Pubs in Britain
B.British Local Pubs:Special Chat Places
C.Local Pub Culture in Britain
D.Manners in British Local Pubs
(2011·皖南八校第二次联考)
Who says Americans worship the almighty (全能的) dollar?It’s not true.Having enough free time is more important to most Americans than being rich,according to a new survey.
Only 13 percent of more than 2,400 people questioned in the telephone survey ranked being wealthy as the most important to them,while 67 percent ranked free time as their top priority (优先考虑的事),higher than having a successful career,getting married,and having children.“Everyone wants free time to do the things they want to do,young,middleaged or old,” said Richard Morin,of the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project,which conducted the survey.“So our desire to play unites us.”
The survey also showed that people who were educated in university valued career success over wealth,so did middleaged people.Not surprisingly,those who didn’t have money,ranked wealth very highly.This included minorities,first generation Americans and lesseducated people.The survey also revealed that a disproportionate (不成比例的) number of people under the age of 30 and retired people in the group made $20,000 or less a year.But the emphasis on wealth lessens with age,with younger people putting value on it but hardly any seniors.“It just diminishes (减弱) with time as the reality sets in that you would never be rich,” Morin said.“But also,as for old people the reality sets in that you don’t have to be rich to lead a very comfortable and fulfilling life.”
While wealth was not at the top of people’s list of priorities,43 percent still said it was somewhat important.
5.The survey showed that the majority of American people ranked________as the most important.
A.wealth
B.a successful career
C.marriage
D.free time
6.Who cares least for wealth,according to the passage?
A.Young people.
B.First generation Americans.
C.Old people.
D.Lesseducated people.
7.According to the survey,what did middleaged people regard as more important?
A.Success in career.
B.Education level.
C.Wealth.
D.Comfort.
8.What is the belief of old people according to the third paragraph?
A.Wealth is as important to the old as health.
B.One needs to put money away for his retired life.
C.One doesn’t have to be rich to live a satisfying life.
D.One would never get rich until he retires.

课时作业(三十九)
Ⅰ.单项填空
1.解析: 句意为“如果没有当地人的帮助,我不可能度过被困在暴风雪中的那段日子”。根据句意,support为正确答案,意思是“帮助;支持”。permission允许;strength力量;respond回答。
答案: A
2.解析: 句意为:你根本就无法体会,在脚伤得那么厉害的情况下她是怎样完成接力比赛的。这里是一个with+n./pron.+done/adj.的复合结构。要注意her foot wounded so much不是一个完整句子,所以不能用连词when,while,for引导,选B项可以这样改When her foot were wounded so much for。
答案: C
3.解析: 考查倒装。seldom是否定副词,否定副词放在句首,主句用部分倒装。又因句子中有since引导的状语从句,主句表示从过去一直持续到现在的状态,故主句用现在完成时。
答案: B
4.解析: 考查名词辨析。句意为:资讯记者在发生撞车事故后几分钟就到了出事现场。scene场面,场景;on/at the scene在现场;scenery自然风景;scare害怕;view风景,景色。根据句意可知选A。
答案: A
5.解析: 句意为:在孩子的尸体被埋之前,战士们静静地站在那里。介词in+名词,表示状态,表示“……地”in silence表示安静地,因此选B。
答案: B
6.解析: 句意为:在第二次世界大战期间,我父亲在海军服了两年军役。四个词中,只有serve有“服役”的意思,并且当这个意思讲时,是不及物动词。
答案: B
7.解析: 句意为:他们都渴望新的技能以便能够胜任他们相对陌生的领域里的各个工作。be eager for渴望……;be anxious about/be worried about...为某事感到忧虑,担心;be delighted to do sth.很高兴去做……。因此选C。
答案: C
8.解析: 考查短语辨析。A项和B项修饰复数可数名词,C项缺少of,a great deal of和a large amount of修饰不可数名词,故选D。
答案: D
9.解析: 考查主语从句。由后面的is that...可知此处应用what引导主语从句。
答案: D
10.解析: 考查动词辨析。attract吸引;attend参加;attain获得;attach附属。句意为:超市开业那天吸引了成百上千的顾客。
答案: A

答案: C
12.解析: 考查have fun (in) doing sth.。have fun (in) doing sth.意为“开心地干某事”。句意为:今年夏天我和几个朋友去了青岛。我们在海里游泳多开心啊!
答案: B
13.解析: 考查形容词辨析。由句意可知是指“更可能心脏病发作”,所以排除sure;除了likely之外,其余两项均不能以人作主语。
答案: B
14.解析: 考查非谓语动词。如果句子的主语是不定式所表示动作的施动者,则大都采用动词不定式的主动形式作名词的后置定语。play a role in...在……中起作用。
答案: B
15.解析: 考查非谓语动词。look back at意为“回顾;回忆”,这里用look的ing形式短语作状语。句意为:回顾过去的一年,我心中充满了幸福和骄傲,因为我被两家报社奖励。
答案: A
