听力原文：M: Hi, Christie, I brought you some tea.

W: Thanks, Mark. Too bad it's not apple tea, like in Turkey.

M: You really liked living in Turkey, didn't you？

W: Yeah, it was great.

M: How do you like the food in Turkey, Christie？

W: Oh, the food was fantastic! But people always expected me to eat too much, and I gained a lot of weight there!

M: Yes, it's so polite to be generous. We think people aren't polite if they don't offer a lot of food.

W: I know. I also learnt that it's not polite for the guest to accept the offer of food at first.

M: Yes, that's definitely true! If you're the guest, you must refuse the first two offers of food.

W: The first time I had dinner at a Turkish home, I felt rude to refuse. So I ate all the food the host offered me.

M: Do you know how to stop the host from offering you food？ You must leave some food on your plate. Then the host knows that you're full.

W: Oh, is that the trick？ In the United States, we usually eat everything. You don't want the host to think that you don't like the food.

M: That is the difference.

W: Americans think it's not polite to insist. We don't want to force you to eat more if you don't want more.

Where are these two speakers from respectively？

A．The man is from the US and the woman is from Turkey.

B．The man is from Turkey and the woman is from the US.

C．Both are from the US.

D．Both are from Turkey.

Task 2

Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.

How man first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that man, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to stand for those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.

The power of word, then lies in their association with the things they bring up before our minds. Words became filled with meanings for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increase.

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words that appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them exactly, or they will make our speech silly and impolite.

The origin of language is ______.

A．clearly explained in this passage

B．a question that was difficult to answer

C．a matter that can not be or has not been explained or understood

D．a problem already solved

Are the British people Europeans？ This may seem a strange question to Africans and Asians,

who tend to think of all white men as Europeans. But the British, when they are in Britain, do not regard themselves as Europeans. The Europeans, to them, are those rather excitable foreigners from the other side of the English Channel, who have never learnt how to speak English. Europe is "the Continent": a place full of interest for British tourists, but also the source of almost all the wars in which Britain has ever been involved. Thus, although geographically speaking Britain is a part of Europe, yet the fact that it is a separate island that has made its people feel very, very insular. They feel, and in many ways are, different from the rest of Europe and they sometimes annoy continental nations by failing to support them, or even to understand them, in time of need.

Where did the British people come from？ This is an extraordinary interesting question, since they are a mixture of many different races, and all these races invaded Britain at various times from Europe. Nobody knows very much about Britain before the Romans came during the first century B. C. , but there had been at least three invasions before that. The first of these was by a dark-haired Mediterranean race called the Iberians. The other two were by Celtic tribes; first the Gaels, whose descendants are the modern Scots and Irish, some of whom still speak the Gaelic language; and secondly the Britons, who gave their name to the whole island of Britain. These were the people whom the Romans conquered. The Romans gave the Britons a good deal of their civilization, but they never settled in Britain in very large numbers, so the British race survived until the overthrow of the Ro man Empire by the "barbarians", i. e. the numerous Germanic tribes which overran the whole of Western Europe.

The purpose of the passage is to ______.

A．talk about Europeans

B．discuss the origin of British people

C．argue for the superiority of British people

D．compare the Europeans with Africans and Asians
