21、ossible.B Work is a part of livingmy grandparents understood that. They lived and worked on a farm that has been in my family for 150 years. They raised chickens for eggs, pigs and cattle for meat. Cows were kept for milk and the cream, from which Grandma made butter and cheese. What little yard the
22、y had became a garden.The Depression, therefore, didnt make much change in their lives. But it did bring an unending flow of men out of work, drifting from job to job, to the farm. The first to show up at the door of the kitchen was a man in rags. He took off his hat and quietly explained that he ha
23、dnt eaten for a while. Grandpa stood watching him a bit , then said , “Theres a stack of firewood against the fence behind the barn (谷仓). Ive been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence. You have just about enough time to finish the job before lunch.”Grandma said a surprising thing h
24、appened. The man got a shine in his eyes and he hurried to the barn at once. She set another place at the table and made an apple pie.

25、e.Soon after, another man showed up asking for a meal. This one was dressed in a suit and carried a small old suitcase. Grandpa came out when he heard voices.

30、 when someone is in a rush. The best safety advice we can give you is: slow down when you are on the stairs, and hold the handrail(扶手). Some trains are shorter (that means they have fewer cars) when its not the rush hour because there are fewer passengers using the subway. Some short trains operate
31、without a conductor. On those trains, the train operator opens and closes the doors, makes station announcements and helps customers, if needed. At most stations, there are signs that read: During Off-Hours, Trains Stop Here. If you stand near the center of the platform near the sign, you wont have
32、to rush when the train arrives. While youre waiting, please stand behind the yellow protective strip, away from the platform edge. No matter what situation arises, keep off the tracks. Tracks contain 600 volts of live electricity. If you drop something on the tracks, go to the station announcer room
33、 and tell the agent. Boarding between subway cars may seem like a time-saver, but it is highly dangerous. Its also dangerous to try to keep subway doors from closing when you are entering or exiting the train. They are not like elevator doors and will not reopen automatically. In addition, make sure
34、 that pocketbooks, clothing, packages, umbrellas and other personal items are clear of the closing doors. When youre inside a moving train, never run between cars or lean against doors.

There are usually no conductors on some short trains in rush hours. B. You should stand on the platform edge when waiting for t
37、he train. C. You can have a rest leaning against the door when the train stops. D. The door should be kept open when you get on the train. D In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest growing U. S. minority. As their children began moving up through the nation schools, it became cle
38、ar that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nations best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact
39、 that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the U. S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathemat
40、ics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take
41、full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success
42、, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it wa
43、s not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.67. While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students .A. feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of EnglishB. are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong As
44、ian characterC. generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parentsD. still worry about unfair treatment in society68. What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?A. Hard work and intelligence.B. A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture.C. Paren
45、ts help and a limited knowledge of English.D. Asian culture and the American educational system.69. Few Asian American students major in human sciences mainly because .A they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areas B. their English is not good enoughC. there is a wide differen
46、ce between Asian and Western culturesD. they know little about American culture and society70. Why do “both explanations” (Para. 3) worry Asian Americans?A.People will think that Asian students only rely on their parents for success.B They are afraid they will again be isolated from American society
47、 in general.C. Asian Americans will be a threat to other minorities.D.American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are you truly happy?
