B Last week, while visiting my dad with my daughter, we went to a restaurant for dinner. When we were seated, my dad asked the waitress if there were any soldiers eating at the restaurant. Then waitress said there was a soldier having dinner with his friend. My dad told the waitress to tell the soldier and his friend that their dinner was paid for! He also said that he did not want to be known as the benefactor(施主).Then waitress later commented on my dads thoughtful behavior saying that she had never seen anything like this before. At a local college, she had studied opera and so she used this to thank my dad by performing a piece from The Pearl Fisherman. Her voice brought me to tears because it sounded perfect!After a while, the soldier appeared at our table (I dont know how he knew my dad paid the bill for him.) and said that he would be sent to the front the next morning and that he could not leave this country without saying “thanks” to my dad. My dad replied that it was he who wanted to say “thanks”. They shook hands as the soldier left.Before we left, the waitress came by again. She did a magic show as another way to show her “thanks” to my dad. Her show was really great. My dad left her a note with email address asking for her next performance time in addition to a $ 50 tip.Everyone witnessed something exemplary(可作榜樣的) in the human spirit that night.

For many people the answer is simple as they can go online to a search engine like Google or Yahoo. But what about people in rural or underdeveloped areas who may have no way to get on the Internet? A business and international development professor in California, Rose Shuman, found an answer for them: Question Box. Question Box is a service that provides answers-free of charge-for people who cannot search the Internet directly. The users of Questions Box might be those who might not be able to read, or simply have no access to the Internet. Question Box began three years ago in India. People used a metal call box with a push-to-talk button to connect a live operator. Rose Schuman explained,” You just need to push a big green button on the box which will connect you directly to our operators who are sitting in front of computers, and speak your language. You can ask them any sort of question you want, and theyll look it up in English or in Hindi, or whatever the main language is, and translate the answer back for you.” The service is currently offered in two villages. The latest version of the box uses mobile phone technology, and solar panels in case the electrical power fails. Rose Shuman says the aim was to make the box as easy as possible for users, “It is very efficient (效率高的). Rather than try to bring a lot of difficulties to them and expect them to spend a lot of time to learn how to use the Internet, the idea was to make a technology that even Grandma could use.” In April 2009, Question Box was introduced to Uganda. Forty community workers with mobile phones connected villagers to call center operators in Kampala. The community workers went around telling people about the service. They wore T-shirts that said “Ask me.” But Internet service in Uganda proved slow and undependable. So Question Box teamed up with a local technology company to store information on a local server. That way, the researchers in Kampala could quickly search the database for answers.63. The best title for the passage is _. A. Question Box - taking the place of the Internet B. Needing an answer? - asking Question Box C. Question Box - a great invention in the world D. Rose Shuman - a professor helping the poor64. In Rose Schumans opinion, the greatest advantage of Question Box is that_. A. it is the most advanced in the world B. it is more convenient to carry. C. it saves much more energy D. it is much easier to use 65. The underlined word “them” in the fourth paragraph refers to_. A. the users B. the operators C. the researchers D. Question Box workers66. What can we know from the passage? A. Question Box costs the users much less than the Internet. B. Question Box operators can look for information in any language. C. Question Box is more efficient in solving problems in underdeveloped areas. D. Question Box can work without the help of the Internet in Uganda.DOf course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but thats only superficial. Besides, in decent restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks youre in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes. The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all. Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests. In formal dinners, there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate. People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed. When you have had enough, just say so. Or you will always overeat!67. Whats the main difference on dinner table between China and West is _.A. On Chinese dinner table, chopsticks replace knife and fork.B. You have your own plate of food in West while in China everyone shares the dishes.C. Youre treated to a formal dinner for the first time.D. The host will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.68. If you have a dinner in a Chinese home, in which order will the food be served in China? a. a set of four cold dishes. b. staple food such as rice, noodle or dumplings. c. the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. d. serving soup.A. a c b d B. c a b d C. c a d b D. a c d b69. The sentence, in paragraph 2, “you should say so in good time” means _. A. you should say so happilyB. you should say so early C. youd better say soD. you should say so kindly. 70. The “public chopsticks and spoons” are used for/to _. A. show the politeness to the guests. B. share the food together C. put food into the plates of their guests D. show the genuine friendship and politeness第II卷 (共35分)第四部分: 完成句子（共5小題；每小題1分，每空0.5分，滿分5分）71. 每次出現什么問題，大家都把
