8.I came to study in the United States a year ago.Yet I did not know the real American 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﹩for what he had done.I was astonished.He had 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.And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer.Now that he had helped me find a good doctor,it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every day 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 stop treating one so 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 company the date I was leaving America.Knowing that,they played for time…and I left without getting a cnt.

分析 本文敘述了作者在美國經(jīng)歷了一次交通事故,室友幫忙后向他要錢,為作者服務(wù)的醫(yī)生和律師在作者付給他們錢后卻只為了他的錢,而不是真心地幫他,最后,自己給自己當(dāng)律師做辯護(hù),最終作者沒有拿到一分錢的賠償而離開了美國.由此,作者認(rèn)為在美國錢高于一切.

解答 1.B 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第二段第三句But the next day,he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done."(第二天,因?yàn)樗盀槲易龅,他向我要?00美元.)故該題正確答案為B.
2.D 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第二段倒數(shù)第三句And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury,I'd have to have a good lawyer.And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer."(如果我想得到那個(gè)應(yīng)該為我的傷負(fù)責(zé)的人的賠款的話,我就必須有個(gè)好律師,而只有一個(gè)好醫(yī)生才能幫我有個(gè)好律師.)這句話所體現(xiàn)的邏輯關(guān)系告訴讀者有一位好醫(yī)生是能獲得責(zé)任方賠償?shù)幕镜摹⒈匾臈l件.故正確答案為D.
3.C 判斷題. A.be responsible"負(fù)責(zé)任"; B.a(chǎn)ccuse"控告;指責(zé)"; C.a(chǎn)sk as a price"要價(jià)"; D.claim"索款(作為保險(xiǎn)金、賠償、增薪等);聲稱",該題推測謂語charged的語意.根據(jù)上文可知其主語he指代the doctor(那位醫(yī)生),賓語為雙賓:我、115美元.所以該處charged語意應(yīng)為"要價(jià)",故正確答案為C.
4.B細(xì)節(jié)題. A.friendly"友好的"; B.selfish"自私的"; C.professional"專業(yè)的"; D.busy"忙的",通過文章倒數(shù)第三段和倒數(shù)第二段對(duì)我所請(qǐng)的醫(yī)生和律師工作情況的描述可知,他們唯利是圖而且無所作為.故正確答案為B
5.D 結(jié)論題.從最后一段作者對(duì)美國的評(píng)論可知,在美國金錢比友誼、榮譽(yù)或職業(yè)道德更重要.答案為D.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).

18.Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work.Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word cold.For centuries,the body's blood has been linked closely with the emotions.People who show no human emotions or feelings,for example,are said to be cold-blooded.Cold-blooded people act in merciless ways.They may do cruel things to others,and not by accident.For example,a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer.The killer murdered someone,not in self-defense.He seemed to kill with no emotion.
Cold can affect other parts of the body,the feet,for example.Heavy socks can warm your feet,if your feet are really cold.But there is an expression-to get cold feet-that has nothing to do with cold or your feet.The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do.For example,you agree to be president of an organization.But then you learn that all the other officers have given up the position.All the work of the organization will be your responsibility.You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.
Cold can also affect your shoulder.You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them.You treat them in a distant,cold way.The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone,instead of speaking to him face-to-face.You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you.Or,to someone who has lied about you to others.
A cold fish is not a fish.It is a person.But it is a person who is unfriendly,unemotional and shows no love or warmth.A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.
Out in the cold is an expression often heard.It means not getting something that everybody else got.A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise.He was left out in the cold.And it is not a pleasant place to be.

68.The text is intended to tell us thatB.
A.cold weather has a great effect on human bodies.
B.many English expressions contain the word cold.
C.cold is a word all used to describe human emotions.
D.the word cold has many different meanings in English.
69.Which of the following can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer anything to others?D
A.Cold-blooded.B.To get cold feet.C.A cold shoulder.D.A cold fish.
70.If a teacher gives all the boys except Tom a pen as a prize,you can say TomC.
A.is given the cold shoulder.
B.is punished by a cold fish.
C.is left out in the cold.
D.has got cold feet.
