Most of the population, however, will be undisturbed for only three years, then t
19、hey will be dug up, washed, compressed into a small tin box, and placed in a bone room. If the body has only partially decayed, it is reburied in a smaller cheaper grave, but not for long, the body will be dug up again some time later when it has fully decayed. Buying a piece of land for a grave is
20、the only way to avoid this process. The cost of the grave is so great that most poeople choose to rent the grave for three years and even after it has been dug up, lasting peace is still not guaranteed. If no one pays for renting space in the bone room, the skeleton is removed and stored in a buildi
21、ng in a poor part of the town. Lack of space in Athens is the main reason why the dead are dug up after the three years. The city is so overcrowded that sometimes dead bodies are kept in the hospitals for over a week until a grave is found. Athens city council wants to introduce cremation, that is b
22、urning dead bodies as a means of dealing with the problems. But the Greek church resists this practice, they believe the only place where people burn is hell, so burning dead bodies is against the Greek concept of life after death. To save space, the church suggested burying the bodies standing up i
23、nstead of lying down. Some people proposed building multi-storey underground grave yards.26. What must Greeks do to keep the dead resting in ever-lasting peace?27. Why are most dead bodies in Athens dug up after three years?28. What suggestions does the church give about the burying of dead bodies?2
24、9. What practice does the Greek church object to?Passage 2(16:25)If you visit a big city anywhere in the world, you will probably find a restaurant would serve the food of your native country. Most large cities in the United States offer international sample of foods. Many people enjoy eating the fo
25、od of other nations. This is probably one reason why there are so many different kinds of restaurants in the United States. A second reason is that many Americans come from other part of the world. They enjoy tasting the foods of their native lands. In the city of Detroit, for example, there are man
26、y people from western Europe, Greece, Latin America, and the Far East. There are many restaurants in Detroit which serve the foods of these areas. There are many other international restaurants too. Americans enjoy the foods in these restaurants as well as the opportunity to better understand the pe
27、ople and their way of life. One of the most common international restaurants to be found in the United States is the Italian restaurant. The restaurant may be a small business run by a single family. The mother of the family cooks all of the dishes, and the father and children serve the people who c
28、ome to eat there. Or it may be a large restaurant owned by several different people who worked together in the business. Many Italian dishes that Americans enjoy are made with meats, tomatoes and cheese, they are very delicious and tasty.30. Why are there so many international restaurants in the Uni
29、tedStates?31. Why do Americans like to go to international restaurants apart from enjoying the foods there?32. How is a typical Italian family restaurant run in the United States?Passage 3(19:15)One winter day in 1891, a class at a training school in Massachusetts, U.S.A, went into the gym for their
30、 daily exercises. Since the football season had ended, most of the young man felt they were in for a boring time.But their teacher, James Nasmith had other ideas. He had been working for a long time on a new game that would have the excitement of the American football. Nasmith showed the men a baske
31、t he had hung at the each end of the gym, and explained that they were going to sue a round European football, at first everybody tried to throw the ball into the basket no matter where he was standing. “Pass! Pass!” Nasmith kept shouting, blowing his whistle to stop the excited players. Slowly, the
32、y began to understand what was wanted of them. The problem with the new game, which was soon called “basketball”, was getting the ball out of the basket. They used ordinary food baskets with bottoms and the ball, of course, stayed inside. At first, someone had to climb up every time a basket was sco
33、red. It was several years before someone came up with the idea of removing the bottom of the basket and letting the ball fall through. There have been many changes in the rules since then, and basketball has become one of the worlds most popular sports.33. What did Nasmith do to entertain his studen
34、ts one winter day?34. According the speaker, what was the problem with the new game?35. How was the problem with the new game solved?Section C(22:55)For Americans, time is money. They say,“You only get so much time in this life，youd better use it wisely.” The future will not be better than the past
35、or present,as Americans are trained to see things unless people use their time for constructive activities. Thus, Americans admire a “well-organized” person,one who has a written list of things to do and a schedule for doing them. The ideal person is punctual and is considerate of other peoples time
36、. They do not waste peoples time with conversation or other activity that has no visible beneficial outcome. The American attitude toward time is not necessarily shared by others,especially non-Europeans. They are more likely to regard time as something that is simply there around them,not something
37、 they can use. One of the more difficult things many students must adjust to in the States is the notion that time must be saved whenever possible and used wisely every day. In this context,the fast food industry can be seen as a clear example of American cultural product. McDonalds, KFC, and other
38、fast food establishments are successful in a country where many people want to spend the least amount of time preparing and eating meals. As McDonalds restaurants spread around the world,they have been viewed as symbols of American society and culture,bringing not just hamburgers,but an emphasis on
39、speed,efficiency, and shiny cleanliness.0612Section A11. M: Christmas is around the corner. And Im looking for a gift for my girlfriend. Any suggestions?W: Well you have to tell me something about your girlfriend first. Also, whats your budget?Q: What does the woman want the man to do?12. M: What wo

42、 at the library.Q: What will the man do first after class?15. M: Its already 11 now. Do you mean I ought to wait until Mr. Bloom comes back from the class?W: Not really. You can just leave a note. Ill give it to her later.Q: What does the woman mean?16. M: How is John now? Is he feeling any better?W
43、: Not yet. It still seems impossible to make him smile. Talking to him is really difficult and he gets upset easily over little things.Q: What do we learn about John from the conversation?17.
