III. Reading comprehension. ( 阅读理解) Task 1
Washington was the first city in history to be created solely for the purpose of governing. Following the Revolution, members of Congress had hotly debated the questions of a permanent home for themselves and for other departments. In 1790, George Washington was asked to select a site for the newly designed federal district. Not much to anyone’s surprise but to the disappointment of many, he chose a piece of land on the banks of the Potomac River a few miles upstream from his beloved plantation Mount Vernon.
The District of Columbia (Washington) was taken in part from Virginia and in part from
Maryland. At the time it was laid out, its hundred square miles consisted of gently rolling hills with heavy woods, a number of streams and much land along the Potomac River; There is now a section of Washington that is commonly referred to as Foggy Bottom; that section had the same nickname a hundred and eight years ago. Two port cities, Alexandria and Georgetown, lied within sight of the new capital. So it was easy to go by ship to the most important cities of the new nation from the new capital --- Charlestown, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Portsmouth and also to
the far-off ports of England and the European Continent.
For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A、 B、C and D. And make the correct choices. （阅读短文并从四个选项中选择正确的答案） 1. The main topic of the passage is________.
A. the role of Washington in the American Revolution B. the first years of the United States Congress
C. the founding of the Washington, D. C. D. the governing of the U.S. 2. When George Washington chose the site for the capital, people________ .
A. were very surprised B. became quite angry C. got very excited D. felt it quite natural 3. Mount Vernon was ______________.
A. a port along the Potomac River B. Washington’s plantation
C. part of Maryland D. part of the District of Columbia 4. The District of Columbia ____________.
A. was far away from the Potomac River B. was the newly designed district for the U.S. capital C. was the capital city of Maryland D. was the capital city of Virginia 5. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.
A. foggy bottom is a new nickname for Washington D.C. B. George lies in the inland of the U.S.
C. New York was not considered important at the beginning of the U.S. D. congress had very different opinions about the site of the new capital Task2

Task 3
There are some table manners and other rules you should follow to make your stay in a Chinese host’s home happier, though you will be forgiven if you have no knowledge of what they are. Never stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl, since that signal usually appears on the funeral and is deemed extremely impolite to the host and seniors present.
Make sure the spout of the teapot is not facing anyone. The proper way is to make it direct outward from the table.
Don’t tap on your bowl with your chopsticks, since that will be deemed insult to the host or the chef.
Never try to turn a fish over and debone it by yourself, since the separation of the fish skeleton from the lower half of the fish will usually be performed by the host or a waiter. Some people may (superstitiously, perhaps) deem that it will ensure bad luck and a fishing boat might capsize if you do so.
1).List four taboos at the dinner table in China mentioned in the passage. (列举出这篇短文中提到的中国餐桌上的四大忌讳)
(1).Sticking_____________________________________________________________________. (2).Directing __ _________________________________________________________________.

III. Reading Comprehension. （阅读理解）
The pubs, or public houses, are perhaps the most popular places for the British to meet friends and to relax outside the home. Pubs serve alcoholic drinks, but they must obtain special permit from the council. They are open only during certain hours each day. By law no one under the age of 14 can go to a pub and no one under 18 can be served with alcoholic drinks.
Many pubs also serve food in addition to drinks, and some also provide entertainment such as jazz music or folk singing, but no dancing is permitted.
Admission to the pub is free: you only pay for your drinks and food. In most pubs, there are at least two bars: the public bar which is decorated and furnished quite simply; and the saloon and lounge bar which often has small tables and chairs, a more comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, but charges slightly higher prices.
In both bars customers buy their drinks from the bar itself. There is no waiter service.
