"Tipping" (给小费)is always a difficult business. You do not want to give too much or too little, or tip the wrong person.
In Britain and America, people usually tip waiters in restaurants, porters, taxi drivers and hairdressers. They do not tip people in offices, cinemas, garages or airports.
Do you invite your friend to the restaurant? Then you pay the bill. Does your friend invite you? Your friend pays. If there are men and women in the party, the men usually pay.
These days, men and women are equal in many ways. If you work in Britain or America, your boss could be a man or a woman. There are increasing numbers of women in important positions in politics, law, medicine and in the business world. But it is still polite for men to open doors for women and to ask them to go first.
And it is polite for men to stand up when they are introduced to women.

Mr Hart, a London taxi driver, has a new black taxi. With his taxi, he hurries through the busy streets every day.
One day when he was having a short rest, a young man jumped into his taxi.
"To the station as fast as you can," shouted the man in a very unfriendly way. "My train leaves at three o'clock."
Mr Hart did his best, but there was a lot of traffic. At every corner there was a red light.
"Hurry up, man! I don't want to miss my train," said the young man.

Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership which does good to both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites(寄生虫) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.
Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as "dustmen", taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen(氧气) which the animal needs to breathe.
If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.
68. Some birds like to sit in a sheep because ________.
A. they can eat its parasites
B. they depend on the sheep for living
C. they enjoy travelling with the sheep
D. they find the position most comfortable
69. The word "they" in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to _______ .
A. birds and parasites
B. birds and sheep
C. sheep and parasites
D. sheep, birds and parasites
70. From the passage we know that the coral is a kind of ________.
A. plant that needs oxygen
B. plant that can produce oxygen
C. animal that needs oxygen
D. animal that can produce oxygen
71. What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
A. Some animals and plants depend on each other for living.
B. Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.
C. Some plants depend on each other for food.
D. Some animals live better together.

If you are in town in a western country, you will often see people walking with their dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful animal in the world, but the reason why one keeps a dog has changed. Once upon a time, a man met a dog and wanted it to help him in the fight against other animals, and he found that the dog listened to him and did what he told it to. Later people used dogs for the hunting of other animals, and the dogs didn't eat what they got until their masters agreed. So dogs were used for driving sheep and guarding chickens. But now the people in the towns and cities do not need dogs to hunt other animals. Of course they keep them to frighten thieves, but the most important reason is that people feel lonely in the city. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For a young wife, a dog is her child when she doesn't have her own. For old people, a dog is also a child when their real children have grown up and left. Now people do not have to use a dog but they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family.
72. In town in a western country, dogs are often seen to ________.
A. walk with hunters
B. walk with their masters
C. fight against other animals
D. play with other animals
73. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. People used to keep dogs to protect their house birds.
B. Dogs were used to hunt other animals.

74. The main reason why people in towns and cities raise dogs now is that ________.
A. they want dogs to frighten thieves for them
B. they use dogs for the hunting of other animals
C. they train dogs to drive sheep
D. they want to keep the dogs as friendly members of their families
75. The sentence "Now people do not have to use a dog" means ________.

二、单项填空 (每小题1分,满分15分)
21—25 ADDBD 26—30 BDADC 31—35 ABBCC
重点解析:
21. 前文说小说很成功,那么它一定受人欢迎。选项中receive和popular都能表达这一意思,但是popular是形容词,它不能受well的修饰。故选A。
22. 从句意看,应该使用形容词的最高级,而形容词的最高级前应该使用定冠词the。故选D。
23. 解题时首先要分清结构:主语是food;谓语是is;roast duck是表语。那么从结构看,选项应该作定语,food 和include之间有被动关系,故选D项。作定语的过去分词短语可以改成定语从句which is included on any menu in Beijing。
25. 多个形容词同时修饰一个名词时,他们排列顺序的总原则是:越是本质的特征,里被修饰的名词越近。具体排列顺序为:
冠词 / 数词+性质+长短 / 大小+年代 / 温度+形状+颜色+材质+名词
27. 如果search前有冠词,物主代词或名词所有格,search后多接for,构成(in) a /the/ one’s search for。否则用in search of表示“寻找;搜寻”。in search of something to drink = to search for something to drink。
28. 宾语(houses)与宾语补足语(break into)之间有被动关系,因而宾语补足语应该用过去分词,故选A。break in为不及物的动词短语,不可用于被动。
29. make good use of是固定短语,of不可省略,虽然它的宾语已经变成主语。to learn our lessons well是动词不定式,用作目的状语。
31. 过去分词用作定语,现在分词用作补足语,可以改为定语从句who is seen smoking。
32. 不定式作状语,其逻辑主语就是句子的主语。improve动作的发出者应是Jenny。
33. 回答应该是针对问句,而A、C、D都是答非所问。How do you like / find...? 意为"你觉得......怎么样?" 该句型用来询问对方对某人或某物的看法。答语补全为:I find it very boring。

One possible version:
On Recreation
It is impossible for us to keep fit unless we often take part in activities of recreation.
There are various kinds of games in our daily life after study, for example, listening to music, watching TV, playing chess, going to the cinema. But I think we'd better have more outdoor activities to supply our muscles with exercise because we usually sit too long in our classroom, and our eyes and brain get tired. So it's a good idea to play basketball, football, table tennis, go swimming and do some running, even go for a picnic.
Our brain also needs changes to make it smart and active. Remember the old saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
