四．阅读理解。(28分)
A
For those of you who where born in the year of the pig, good luck and much success! This is your year.
When talking to a Westerner, however, you've got to be a little careful when you talk about pigs. Chinese people view the pig as a smart（聪明）and prosperous (rich, lucky) animal. Western ideas tend to be a little more negative（否定的）.
A pig in the West is seen as a dirty, lazy, and fat animal. If anyone ever called you a pig, you wouldn't be smiling. When a person doesn't like someone, sometimes he will call that person a pig.
If you ever meet a Westerner who was born in the year of the pig, don't say, “Oh, you're a pig!” Most Westerners will be unde rstanding. They will be sure that you made some kind of a mistake. However, don't take any chances. You might just offend（触怒）someone who does not share your positive（积极）ideas about pigs.
40. You gave to be careful when you talk to a Westerner about pigs because______.
A. they worship pigs best of all
B. they consider pigs as bad animals
C. they aren't used to talking about pigs.
D. they don't like the topic about pigs at all
41. According to the passage we can see that Chinese people think of the pig as a _____ animal.
A. clever
B. rich
C. good
D. all the above
42. A Westerner will call someone a pig if he _______ that man.
A. dislikes
B. is afraid of
C. looks up to
D. makes fun of
43. When you call a Westerner a pig, who was born in the year of the pig, most of them ___________.
A. will be angry
B. will be very surprised
C. can forgive（原谅）
D. may quarrel with you
44. From the passage we can conclude that _________.
A. different people have different ideas about the same thing
B. Westerners do not like pigs as much as the Chinese
C. in general, Westerners and the Chinese don't like pigs
D. all of the Chinese like pigs better than Westerners
B
In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes(想当然地认为)it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the attention to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise(产生) between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think if keeping a business associate waiting for an hour. It would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
45. "The same meaning is attached to telephone calls after 11:00p.m." Here "attached" means _____.
A. taken
B. drawn
C. given
D. shown
46. According to this passage, time plays an important role in _____.
A. everyday life
B. school life
C. communication
D. private life
47. The best title for this passage is _____.
A. The V oice of Time
B. The Importance of Time
C. The Importance of an Announcement
D. Time and Tide Wait for No Man
48. According to the passage, the author of the article may agree to which of the following statements?
A. It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in U.S.A..
B. It may be appropriate to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some countries.
C. It is best for one to make telephone calls at eight because it costs much less.
D. If one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology
C
