If you have a chance to go to Finland,you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.
Take the taxi drivers for example.Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two
US dollars a kilometer.You can go anywhere in one,tell the driver to drop you at any place,say that you have some business to attend to,and then walk off without paying your fare.The driver would not show the least signs of anxiety.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests,but also serve outside diners.Hotel guests have their meals free,so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals.The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration cards to the waiter.With such a loose check,you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour.They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss at the rate.From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.
With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty_advantages”.But the strange thing is that all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fares after they have attended to their business and that not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms.And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in.As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do,living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.
4.The underlined words in Paragraph 5 means to “________”.
A.be ready to help others
B.make good use of one's friends C.be a little ahead of others
D.gain something at other's expense
5.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.While taking a taxi in Finland,you can get off without first paying your fare. B.In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if you're living in the hotel.
C.The bosses in Finland pay the employees according to the registration of their working hours.

D.The workers are always honest with their working hours. 6.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.the Finnish society is of very high moral(道德的)level B.there are many loopholes in everyday life in Finland
C.in Finland,most taxi drivers will not charge you anything
D.everyone in Finland is like a gentleman,for they have faith in themselves 7.Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A.Life in Finland
B.A Society with “Foolish” People C.What a Life
D.Honest accounts of the Finns
【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,主要通过一些例子,介绍了芬兰人的诚实,并且诚实让他们成为真正的“绅士”。 【难句分析】You can go anywhere in one,tell the driver to drop you at any place,say that you have some business to attend to,and then walk off without paying your fare. 分析:该句为主从复合句。句中that you have some business to attend to 为that引导的宾语从句,作say的宾语。
译文:你可以乘一辆出租车去任何地方,告诉司机让你在任何地方下车,告诉(司机)你有一些事情要处理,然后不付车费就可以离开。
4.D 考查词义猜测。根据第五段第一句“With so many loopholes(漏洞)in everyday life,surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take ‘petty_advantages’”可知,在日常生活中芬兰出现了很多的“漏洞”。结合上文内容可知,在芬兰,如果你告诉出租车司机你有一些事要处理,你不付车费就可以离开;在宾馆用旧的登记卡就可以享受免费大餐;工人只要告诉老板自己工作的时长就可以得到相应的工资,这些就是“漏洞”。由此可知,芬兰确实是那些爱贪小便宜的人的天堂,画线词意为“小便宜”,故D项正确。
5.C 考查细节理解。根据第四段的内容,尤其是第三句“From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly”可知,老板是根据工人自己所说的工作时长给工人支付工资的,而不是根据登记的时长,所以C项与文意不符,故选C项。根据第五段第二句可知,你可以先下车离开,等处理完事情后再付车费,故A项与文意相符;根据第三段最后两句可知,如果你在芬兰大宾馆入住,你可以凭登记卡享受免费大餐,故B项与文意相符;根据最后一段倒数第二句“And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in”可知,芬兰工人总是诚实地汇报自己实际的工作时长,故D项与文意相符。 6.A 考查推理判断。根据最后一段最后一句,并结合全文内容可知,在芬兰,乘出租车的乘客可以先下车离开,等处理完事情后再付车费;没有在宾馆登记入住的人并不会去宾馆享受免费大餐;工人可以按照自己报的工作时长向老板索要工资。因为芬兰人总是诚实地做每一件事,生活在这样一个社会里,每个人都变成了一个真正的“绅士”。据此可以判断,芬兰社会有着很高的道德水平,故A项正确。根据第五段第一句可知,在日常生活中,芬兰社会有很多可以让贪小便宜的人钻的“漏洞”,这是文章所叙述的事实,而不是推论出来的内容,故B项不符合题意;根据第五段第二句可知,乘客会在办完事后支付车费,故C项错误;根据文章最后一句可知,芬兰人总是诚实地做一切事情,故他们都像绅士,并不是说芬兰人信任自己,故D项错误。
7.B 考查主旨大意。通读全文可知,文章先通过人们认为芬兰人很“愚蠢”引出本文话题,接着举例介绍了芬兰人“愚蠢”的情况,最后点明主旨,即芬兰是一个道德水平很高的国家,人们的诚实让他们都成为绅士。据此可以判断,B项最适合做文章标题。

According to a historian,uniforms were introduced into the United States around 1979 to deal with the problems of violence among students.Statistical reports state that only 15% of primary schools and around 10% of secondary schools in the United States have strictly carried out the uniform policy.
In recent times it has become the most debated topic among parents and educators,with many critics stating the fact that wearing uniforms has no effect on the thought process of a student nor does it considerably reduce inequality among the masses.Students are instructed to follow certain rules:for boys,pants,shirts with turtlenecks,sweaters and jackets are acceptable,while in some schools,shorts are strictly forbidden;similarly,for girls,long skirts,blouses,pants and flat-heeled shoes are acceptable.
School uniforms in other countries such as Thailand,Indonesia,India and Pakistan were introduced during the British colonial period.In these countries,girls in senior schools usually wear broad trousers and boys wear pants and shirts.In preschool though,girls wear skirts and blouses and boys wear short pants and shirts.In other parts like New Zealand and Australia where the British colonial rule was in effect,the uniform system was followed in the public school system.The dress sense closely resembled that of the English students.
The purpose of a school uniform is to promote team spirit,discipline and increase equality among all students.Though uniforms have intended to wipe out the discrimination in the weaker section,critics have a different story to say.According to them,uniforms have no such great effect on students.This standardized dress has not helped students remove any barriers and is adding costs to the parents.
In many countries,though students' wearing uniforms has produced some positive results,in the United States,the implementation(实施)requires a lot of efforts before we can achieve full success. 8.What does the underlined word “masses” in the second paragraph refer to?
A.Schools. B.Parents. C.Students. D.Teachers.
9.What can we know about the uniform system in Australia according to Paragraph 3? A.The uniform system in the public school follows Britain. B.The Australian students dress more casually.
C.The uniform system is the same as that in New Zealand. D.Most Australian students wear school uniforms. 10.What's the intention of school uniforms at first? A.To encourage students to be more diligent. B.To improve students' academic achievement. C.To prevent students fighting with each other. D.To promote the equality among students.
11.What's the attitude of the critics towards school uniforms? A.Supportive. B.Neutral. C.Negative. D.Factual.
【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文,通过介绍美国目前校服的普及情况,讨论了校服的作用,最后指出在某些国家,如美国,校服制度的实施还需要努力。
【难句分析】In other parts like New Zealand and Australia where the British colonial rule was in effect,the uniform system was followed in the public school system.
分析:本句是复合句,其中包含了where引导的定语从句,主句运用一般过去时的被动语态。

译文:在其他地区,像英国实行过殖民统治的规则(仍然)有效的新西兰和澳大利亚,公立学校的校服制度仿效英国的校服制度。 8.C 考查词义猜测。根据该词上文的“that wearing uniforms has no effect on the thought process of a student”和下文的“Students are...rules”可知此处指的是学生。 9.A 考查细节理解。根据第三段倒数第二句“In other parts like New Zealand and Australia where the British colonial rule was in effect,the uniform system was followed in the public school system”可知,澳大利亚的公立学校的校服制度是仿效英国的。 10.C 考查推理判断。从文章第一段中的“According to a historian,uniforms were introduced into the United States around 1979 to deal with the problems of violence among students”可知,穿校服最初的目的是防止学生之间打架。
11.C 考查观点态度。根据倒数第二段中的“Though uniforms have intended to wipe out the discrimination in the weaker section,critics have a different story to say.According to them,uniforms have no such great effect on students”可知评论家们对于校服的态度是消极的。

Flaubert had it that “one way of tolerating existence is to lose oneself in literature as in an unending party”.It turns out that reading doesn't only help us to tolerate existence,but actually lengthens it.
A recent study by Yale University researchers,published online in the journal Social Science & Medicine,concluded that “book readers experienced a 20 percent reduction in the risk of death over the 12 years of follow-up compared to non-readers”.
The data was obtained from the study sponsored by the National Institute on Aging.The study looked at 3,635 subjects,all older than 50,whom the researchers divided into three groups:those who didn't read books,those who read up to 3.5 hours a week and those who read more than 3.5 hours a week.
The findings were remarkable:on average,book readers survived almost two years longer than those who didn't crack open a book.The more the subjects read,the longer they lived,but as little as 30 minutes a day was still beneficial in terms of survival.
Accounting for factors such as education level,income and health status,the study found that those who read more than 3.5 hours weekly were 23 percent less likely to die during that 12-year
period.Those who read up to 3.5 hours—an average of a half hour a day—were 17 percent less likely.
“In other words,just like a healthy diet and exercise,books appear to promote a significant survival advantage,” the authors concluded.
Why or how that's_the_case remains unclear;the research showed only an association between book reading and longevity,not a causal relationship.But the findings are not so surprising.Other recent research showed that reading novels appears to increase both brain connectivity and sympathy. 12.Why does the author mention Flaubert's words in the first paragraph? A.To stress the value of reading. B.To compare reading with a party. C.To introduce the study on reading. D.To support the findings of the study.
13.From the text,what can we learn about the study? A.No similar study on reading has been carried out.
