B
I came to study in a Western country a year ago.Yet I did not know its society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.
After the accident,my roommate called a doctor for me.I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day.But the next day,he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done.I was astonished.He had a good reason to charge me,he said.And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury,I’d have to have a good lawyer.Now that he had helped me to find a good doctor,it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every time I went to see the doctor,I had to wait about 50 minutes.He would see two or three patients at the same time,and often stopped treating one as to see another.Yet he charged me $115 each time.The final examination report consisted of ten lines,and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met.But after that he avoided seeing me at all.He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident,yet he hardly did anything.He simply waited to collect his money.He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him.And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer.Due to my inexperience,I told the insurance the date I was leaving that country.Knowing that,they played for time,and I left without getting a cent.
My experiences taught me two things about the reality in some countries;firstly,in a country like this money is everything.It is more important than friendship,honour or professional morality(职业道德).Secondly,foreigners are still being unfairly treated.So when we talk about the Western world,we should see both its good and bad sides.
51.The author’s roommate offered to help him because_______________.
A.he felt sorry for the author
B.he thought it was a chance to make some money
C.he knew the doctor was a very good one
D.he wanted the author to have a good lawyer
【解析】 由短文第二段可知。
【答案】 B
52.A good lawyer is important for the author to _______________.
A.be properly treated
B.talk with the person responsible for the accident
C.recover before he leaves that country
D.get the responsible party to pay his injury
【解析】 由短文第二段可知。
【答案】 D
53.The underlined word “charge” in Paragraph 2 means _______________.
A.be responsible B.accuse
C.ask as a price D.claim
【解析】 charge 既有accuse的意思，也有ask as a price的意思，但在本篇短文中，根据上下文的内容，可以推断是后者。即索要“辛苦费”。
【答案】 C
54.Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very _______________.
A.friendly B.greedy
C.professional D.busy
【解析】 从短文第三段可以看出医生的贪婪(greedy);从第四段(尤其是第四句)可以看出律师的贪婪。所以答案为greedy。
【答案】 B
55.What conclusion can you draw from this story?
A.Going to court is something very common in that country.
B.One must be very careful while driving a car.
C.There are more bad sides in that country than good sides.
D.Money is more important than other things in that country.
【解析】 推断题通常在理解短文大意的基础上进行。读过短文我们不难看出，无论医生看病，律师打官司，还是朝夕相处的室友“主动帮忙”，其动机均是为了钱，无一例外，故正确答案是D项。在某些西方国家，钱主宰一切。
【答案】 D
C
It has been said that Lincoln was always ready to join in a laugh at himself.There is a story that he was always happy to tell.
In his early days as a lawyer,Lincoln went town to town to hear and judge cases.During one of his trips,he was sitting in a train when a strange man came up to him.The stranger looked at the tall clumsy lawyer and said he had something that he believed belonged to Lincoln.Lincoln was a bit surprised.He had never seen the man before.He didn’t see how this could be.The stranger pulled out a pen knife and began to explain.Many years before,he had been given the knife.He had been told to keep it until he was able to find a man uglier than himself.

57.Where did the stranger get the knife?

The food we eat seems to have a great effect on health.Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat,it has,at the same time,made many foods unfit to eat.Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of human illness is not a new discovery.In 1945,some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep color in meats and other food additives caused cancer.

American parents usually think that their child should not have more pocket money than the children with whom he regularly connects,even if they are wealthier.But neither are children expected to compare with the richer if a large family,have responsibilities(责任),or other conditions make it necessary to give a child less spending money than is customary(常例的) in the neighborhood.
Whatever the pocket money is,its entire use is not controlled by the parents,because a child learns to use money correctly only through dealing with it himself.If a seven-year-old child gets a quarter as a week’s pocket money and is made to put it all in his piggy bank to save it up,he gets no idea what the real use for the money is.He gets the shiny coins and they soon disappear.The idea of a bank account(账户) is too early for so small a child,although he can be made to understand and enjoy saving his coins—not all of them,only a part of his own savings account,parents may take him to the bank,open a savings account for him,and encourage him to put a certain quantity of any checks he receives as gifts onto bank and watch his bank savings grow as entry(存入款) by entry is made.He will be saving,earning and spending suitable quantities all along in order to learn how to manage money and to keep him in a favorable position with his friends.The boy who can’t join his fellows in a sweet shop once in a while is a sorry child,because he has to save every cent he gets or earns for some big unknown project his parents have chosen for him.
59.What do you think a piggy bank is?
A.It is a kind of bank run by children.
B.It is something in the shape of a pig for saving coins.
C.It is a certain place in which pigs are raised.
D.It is a bank whose building looks like a pig.
【解析】 a piggy bank 是形状像猪的存钱罐。
【答案】 B
60.Which of the following statements is true?
A.Most of the rich people in America give children much pocket money.
B.American children usually have their bank accounts until they are eight.
C.American parents seldom care for their children’s spending money.
D.American children begin to learn how to manage money when very young.
【解析】 文章的主要意思是：美国孩子在父母的引导下开始学会如何管理自己的零花钱了。
【答案】 D
