【单选题】Passage 1 Question 1to 5 are based on the following passage. 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-classBenz 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 sign 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 card 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. (77) {{U}}They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate.{{/U}} 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, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; 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”.(78) {{U}}In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others {{/U}} We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland_____
A、provide meal for only those who live in the hotels
B．provide meals for any diners
C．provide free wine and charge for food
D．are mostly poorly managed

【单选题】Passage 3　　Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:　　The fourth-graders atChicago’s McCormickElementary School don’t knowChinese is supposed to be hard to learn. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it’s becoming their third language. They’ve been heating and usingChinese words since nursery, and it’s natural to give a “ni hao”when strangers enter the classroom.“It’s really fun!” says Miranda Lucas, taking a break from a lesson that includes aChinese interview with JackieChan. “I’m teaching my mom to speakChinese.”　　The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common phenomenon inAmerican schools, whereChinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages likeChinese, and pressure from them -- as well as from business leaders, politicians, and parents -- has produced a quick growth in the number of programs.　　Chicago city officials make their best effort to includeChinese in their public schools. Their program has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like LosAngeles, New YorkCity, and NorthCarolin
A、Supporters see knowledge of theChinese language and culture as an advantagein a global economy whereChina is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world’s next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at theAsia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offerChinese. “Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers, The question is when, not whether, the schools are going to adjust.”　　{{U}}(80) The number of students leamingChinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French.{{/U}}But one report shows that before-college enrollment (报名人数) nearly quadrupled between 1992 and 2002, from 6,000 to 24,000.Despite the demand, though, developing programs isn’t easy.And the No. one difficulty, everyone agrees, is having enough teachers. Finding teacher “is the challenge,” says Scott McGinnis, an academic adviser for a language institute and aChinese teacher for 15 years at the college level. “Materials are easy comparison. Or getting schools fundeD、” According to the passage, all the following statements are trueEXCEPT_____.
A、the number of students learningChinese is small
B．Chinese programs have found their way in several majorCities in the U.S.
C．government officials don’t like the pressure from business leaders and parents to startChinese programs
D．China is becoming more and more influential in the world
