第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
From Mr．Ward Hoffman
Sir，1 was halfway through Professor Raj Persaud's article "What's the tipping point?"（Financial Times Weekend，April 9—10）when it occurred to me that what 1 was reading was not ironic（讽刺的）．If Professor Persaud wants to know why Americans tip in restaurants，he needs only to ask the first American he meets in London．
Americans tip in restaurants for one reason，and one reason only：we tip to supplement the salary of the restaurant workers：quality of service doesn’t enter into it，beyond the fact that one may tip a bit less for poor service，or a bit more for good service．
Not tipping at all in a non—fast—food restaurant is not a choice．In the USA，One used to tip about 15％for dinning in a family—style restaurant or in a top—level restaurant．Here, in San Francisco Bay area restaurants，we are encouraged to tip 20％or more，to help the restaurant workers live in this expensive area．
After eating at an Italian restaurant in my city，I left a tip of 20% on the non—tax part of our dinner bill．It was expected．There is nothing more complicated than that about American tipping in restaurants．
Ward Hoffman
Palo Alto，CA 94306 US
* * *
From Mr．Philip Mcbride Jonson
Sir，I agree with most of Raj Persaud's opinion about the doubtful value of tipping，but with one exception. Tips can be very useful when one is a repeat customer or diner.
It is only when the tipper is a stranger and likely to remain so that the system doesn't work to his/her advantage. But a frequent customer at a hotel or a restaurant always tips a bit more, and the difference in service and treatment will be easily felt．
Philip Mcbride Jonson
Great Walls，VA 22056，US

A．quality of service determines tipping in the USA
B．Americans don't tip in non—fast—food restaurants
C．tipping in US top—level restaurants is not a must
D．how to tip in the USA is very complicated
57．Jonson's letter shows that ．
A．a stranger in a restaurant is likely to tip more

C．repeat diners may get good service if they tip more
D．the tipping system works to the advantage of new customers
58．From these two letters, we can learn Professor Raj Persuad ．
A．fells the doubtful value of tipping
B．believes tipping improves quality of service
C．wants to ask Hoffman about tipping in US
D．thinks one can get good service by tipping a bit more
59．We are most likely to read these two letters in a ．

A man came home from work late，tired，to find his 7-year—old son waiting for him at the door.
"Daddy，may I ask you a question?"
"Yeah，sure，what is it?" replied the man．
"Daddy，how much do you make an hour?"
"That's none of your business．Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily．
"I just want to know．Please tell me，how much you make an hour? ", pleaded the little boy.
"If you must know，I make $20 an hour．"
"Oh，"the little boy replied，with his head down．Looking up，he said，"Daddy，may I please borrow $10?"
The father was curious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed．"
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door．The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions．How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so，the man had calmed down，and started to think：Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often．
The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door．
"Are you asleep。son?" He asked．
"No，daddy，I’m awake，"replied the boy．
"I've been thinking，maybe 1 was too hard on you earlier，"said the man，"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation（恼怒）on you．Here's the $10 you asked for．"
The little boy sat straight up，smiling．"Oh，thank you，daddy!" He yelled．Then，reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some crumpled—up bills．The man，seeing that the boy already had money，started to get angry again．The little boy slowly counted out his money，then looked up at his father．
"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father shouted．
"Because I didn't have enough，but now I do，"the little boy replied．"Daddy，I have $20 now．Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow．1 would like to have dinner with you．"
60．How many times does the story mention that the father was not happy?

C．the son got the money and planned to buy the toy that he had dreamed of
D．the son saved the money so that his father would have dinner at home

The CBS—TV "National Drivers' Test" shows that many UK drivers have a lot to learn．Here are some reasons．
CBS picked 1799 sample drivers to take the test in TV studios in Nottingham, Birmingham and Liverp001．More than two out of five drivers failed the test．And the average score was the lowest passing grades-51 points out of a possible 80．
Liverpool drivers did the best with an average of 53 points．Nottingham drivers came next with 2 points lower and Birmingham drivers got 50 points—a failing score．Drivers with 50 or less rated "poorly informed" by the judges．
Here are some of the test results：
1）Are men drivers better informed than women ones?
Yes．Men averaged 52 points while women got an average of 49．
2）Are older drivers better informed than younger ones?
No. Drivers under 26 averaged 52 points．Drivers from 27—45 averaged 51，drivers over 45 failed with a 48 points average．
3）Does education make a difference?
Yes, College graduates averaged 52 points．High school graduates averaged 50．Those without full high school education got 48．And people who got driver education courses scored an average of 53 points--three more than those who hadn't．
4）Does driving experience make a difference?
Yes, Drivers with three or more year of experience averaged 51 points．Drivers with less experience averaged 49．
Some surprising facts about the test are also listed：
1）More than one out of three drivers didn't know that a blinking red light means a full stop．
2）Three out of ten drivers didn't know that an eight—sided sign means stop．
3）More than two out of three drivers didn't know what to do when being tailgated（追尾）．
The answers are very simple：slow down，drive to the left，and let the drivers behind pass．
The test results have been turned to the National Safety Council and they will help future safety planning．

"I can't play any musical instrument!" This sad comment；often heard in other wise musical families，is flu untruth．The reality is that there is one musical instrument that everyone can play：the kazoo．If there were an advertisement for openings in a kazoo band，it would have to say，"No talent needed．"As Barbara Stewart，a kazoo expert，says. "It takes about four seconds to learn．For slow learners，it may take six seconds．"
Nearly everyone is familiar with the kazoo，"an open-ended tube with a membrane-covered side hole．"Many people have，at one time or other，actually played fl kazoo．As writer Ben Fanton has said，"It has often been used as a stocking—stuffer at Christmas time by parents who've deeply regretted their action about an hour after sunrise on Christmas morning." The father may hit the roof，but the kids go on playing very happily．
Some people take the kazoo seriously．Barbara Stewart is not one of them，though she collects kazoos in all shapes，sizes，and in many different materials．She is fl professional kazooist，who has formed "the world's largest kazoo group"．It's the largest because it actually has five members! Members of the group have，at times，been serious music students, but when they join the group，fun of playing kazoos conquers all．Her group is dressed in formal jackets——but is barefooted! The group has appeared on the Tonight show；Good Morning，America；PM Magazine；and other television programs．The performers create fun at serious music．At their performances，audience members enter the spirit of fun and throw socks at them．"I once got a really nice pair．"Barbara proudly declares．
Despite her fun with the kazoo，Barbara Stewart has a serious reply when asked why people should trouble themselves with the kazoo．"It's fun! People are ready for a good time，and it's fl good—time instrument．Everybody can do it and a lot of people have wanted to do something musical and have gone through the terrible experience of grade—school music where they are asked not to sing．Playing the kazoo brings out creativity．"
Indeed，throughout the country，senior citizens form kazoo bands that entertain patients in nursing homes and perform in shopping malls and other places of assembly．To see the look of the serious concentration and great satisfaction on the faces of these performers is to realize that the kazoo has a place in music．
If you'd like to become a kazoo performer yourself，you may benefit from the advice offered by Barbara Stewart．"Practice，Practice，Practice．But not near the neighbors．"
68．The writer of this passage mainly wants to tell us ．
A．something about Barbara Stewart and her kazoo band
B．how to collect，practice and perform kazoos
C．that the kazoo is fl favorite gift at Christmas
D．that the kazoo is an instrument for everyone
69．Barbara Stewart called her group of five "the world's largest kazoo group" because she probably intended ·
A．to give some explanations B．to give some descriptions
C．to offer some amusements D．to make some comments
70．Parents at Christmas may regret their choice of stocking-stuffer because of
A．lots of expense B．the destroyed roof C．disappointment D．much noise
71．Which of the following sentences can best describe the author's appreciation of the kazoo?
A．Fun of playing kazoos conquers all．
B．It takes about 4 seconds to learn the kazoo,
C．Barbara Stewart has a serious reply．
D．Audience members throw socks at them．

When your grandfather was a boy，he probably took your grandmother to an ice-cream parlor（小售货亭）．Here，for a little more than a dime（ten cents） he could treat the young lady to an ice-cream soda，a sundae，a malted milk，or some other delightful dessert. Probably，the ice-cream parlor was situated in a corner of a drugstore. There were containers of many kinds of sweet liquid．The person behind the counter was the master of such delightful combination of ingredients as the brown cow, a root—beer soda with ice一cream floating in it．
The name soda water tells something of its origins in US．Naturally carbonated（含二氧化碳的）water flows out of the ground in mineral springs around the world. These mineral springs have long attracted people in search of a cure for some ills．Then in 1767, the scientist Joseph Priestley created the first soda water not taken from natural mineral springs．Soon other experimenters were finding new ways to create the bubbly（冒气泡的）water that is the basis of so many soft drinks．In 1825，Elias Durand decided to catch the public interest in sparkling waters．He opened a drugstore in Philadelphia that served carbonated water，at that time still considered a helpful medicine．
A few years 1ater，another Philadelphian，Eugene Roussel，decided to bottle soda water of different tastes．His first offering was a popular lemon soda，sold at the fountain of his perfume shop．Other manufacturers entered the race，and new tastes were introduced. Meanwhile, at soda fountains，adventurous owners added sweet cream to make the drink more appetizing．
Then came one of the most important events in the history of soda water．In October 1874 at the semi-centennial celebration of Philadelphia's Franklin Institute, a salesman named Robert Green sold so many soda—water drinks with cream that he ran out of cream. He rushed to a nearby shop to buy some straw-berry ice cream．He planned to melt the ice—cream and use it as cream．His customers were too thirsty to wait, and so he put the ice-cream right into the soda water．The ice-cream soda was born. It has never lost its popularity.
Not far away，Charles E．Hires was experimenting with selling dried roots，bark, herbs，and flowers for making a drink he called root beer．He also made his own．By 1892，more than two million bottles of his soft drink were being sold annually．Then came a host of other drinks：Moxie，Dr．Pepper，and Coca—Cola．When the drink—business society in the 1890s forbade the sale of alcohol，the soft-drink market exploded．
The soft—drink market today is a huge business，with many competitors pushing their products on television and in newspapers and magazines．There are still many fast—food places where ice-cream sodas may be ordered |
