　　.閱讀理解

　　A

　　One student took a box of chicken to class.Another carried on a cellphone conversation，and still another whistled loudly every time the professor turned his back.

　　Reform school？No. College.

　　More and more professors say，they are coming across rude students in their classroom.Many of today's young scholars arrive late，leave early，talk loud or take care of personal business，such as paying bills during the class.

　　Why are the students behaving badly？

　　“Because they can，”said a student of University of North Texas.“A lot of the time，the professors let them get away with it.”

　　Some educators say it is time to bring politeness back to their classroom—and even start taking some of the blame for bad behavior.They say that rude students are by no means majority but one of them can ruin an entire class.

　　People are surprised when they learn that impolite behavior is becoming more and more common in higher education，says Dr. Gerald Amanda，a counselor at City College of San Francisco.They expect some high school students misbehave but think those who get to college will behave more politely.

　　Dr. Amanda believes that society in general has become more tolerant of rude

　　behavior and that people in power，including professors，no longer set standards for politeness.That leads to a growing imprudence among some college students.“There's a great sum of bad behavior in the world around them，and young people see it and develop disrespect，”said Dr. Amanda，adding that sometimes students have no idea that they are being rude.

　　1.Which of the following do you think is bad behavior？

　　A.Raise your hand if you have any questions in class.

　　B.Say hello to the teacher when you meet him/her.

　　C.Never speak loud in public.

　　D.Leave the classroom without the teacher's admission.

　　解析：推理判斷題。根據文章中所介紹的和我們對禮貌行為的理解，課堂上有問題

　　舉手提問，見面和老師打招呼以及公共場所從不大聲說話，這些都是很有禮貌的行為。故答案應選D：不經老師允許就離開教室。

　　答案：D

　　2.What attitude to the bad behavior of the students do professors have in class？

　　A.Allow them to do so.

　　B.Only smile at it.

　　C.Bristle with anger.

　　D.Let them get away with it.

　　解析：細節理解題。根據文章第五段中“A lot of the time，the professors let them get

　　away with it.”可知，答案應選D。

　　答案：D

　　3.Some people thought that impolite behavior is becoming more common.

　　A.in the primary school

　　B.in the middle school

　　C.in the college

　　D.in the high school

　　解析：細節理解題。根據文章倒數第二段的第一句可知應選C。

　　答案：C

　　4.Which of the following can best describe this passage？

　　A.Civilization in school.

　　B.Behavior of students.

　　C.How to improve the behavior of students.

　　D.Rude behavior is becoming common in college.

　　解析：主旨歸納題。全文主要講述了目前在大學校園里，不良行為越來越多，引起了各方人士的高度重視。故答案應選D。

　　答案：D

　　B

　　It is simple law of business：if an item is scarce and many people want it， the price goes up. It happens with certain kinds of toys during the holiday season. It happens with tickets to important sports events like football and the Olympic Games. But could you imagine it happening to the price of tulips？

　　Tulips weren't always grown in Holland；the first tulips were transported there from the Turkish Empire in 1593. But the botanist who brought them into the country was very mean with them， refusing to give them away or even sell them. People gradually got their hands on the bulbs， but they remained a rarity that only the rich could afford.

　　Tulips were so bright and beautiful that many people desired them. And so the price kept rising. The most popular

　　tulips of all had been mixed broken stripes of two different colors. These so-called odd patterns， which were actually caused by a tulip virus， meant that every single tulip had a unique look. So prized were such tulips that in 1642 certain varieties of them were sold for $1,500 a bulb！ A short time later that price had risen sharply to $2,250.

　　Between 1634 and 1637 the market for bi-color tulips went completely mad. Not only the rich but trades and crafts people as well were crazily bidding up prices， sometimes paying for one bulb the equivalent of what it would cost to feed and clothe a small town. In fact the highest price ever recorded for a bulb was over $400,000.

　　And then，as you might expect， the market crashed. Just as in the stock market crash of 1929 ，many people were financially ruined. But among the cries of sorrow， despair， and suicides， the modest tulip continued to beautify the Dutch countryside.

　　5.The most appropriate title for this passage would be .

　　A.The Rise and Fall of the Tulip Market

　　B.Beautiful and Colorful

　　C.Holland's Prize Flower

　　D.A Gift from the Turks

　　解析：主旨大意題。文章敘述的是在人們的瘋狂炒作下郁金香的價格一路走高，最終又回歸理性的歷程，所以A項最具有概括性。

　　答案：A

　　6.With “so-called odd” tulips， people .

　　A.could not predict what a new bulb would look like

　　B.often planted hundreds in their gardens

　　C.handed the bulbs down to their grandchildren

　　D.sometimes became ill from the virus themselves

　　解析：細節理解題。根據第三段的中間部分可知，人們無法預測這些感染病毒的郁金香究竟是什么樣的。

　　答案：A

　　7.The author of this passage mentioned the 1929 stock market crash in order to .

　　A.make the tulip story sound more modern

　　B.point out its similarity to the fall of the tulip market

　　C.show that people from every century are greedy

　　D.emphasize the value of good investments

　　解析：作者意圖題。股市在1929年崩盤，郁金香的價格在人們的瘋狂炒作之后回歸理性，二者具有相似之處。

　　8.The most desirable tulips were .

　　A.red

　　B.pink

　　C.white

　　D.bi-colored

　　解析：細節理解題。根據第四段可判斷此項正確。
