三、 阅读理解
21. Aggie Bonfire (篝火) was a long-standing tradition at Texas A&M University as part of the college rivalry (竞争) with the University of Texas at Austin. For 90 years, Texas A&M students—known as Aggies—built and burned a bonfire on campus each autumn. Known to the Aggie community simply as "Bonfire", the annual autumn event symbolized Aggie students' "burning desires”. The bonfire was traditionally lit around Thanksgiving in connection with festivities surrounding the annual college football game.
Although early Bonfires were little more than piles of trash, as time passed, the annual event became more organized. Over the years the bonfire grew bigger, setting the world record in 1969. Bonfire remained a university tradition for decades until, in 1999, a collapse during construction killed twelve people—eleven students and one former student—and injured twenty-seven others.
The accident led Texas A&M to declare a pause on an official Bonfire. However, in 2002, a student-sponsored-and-off-campus "Student Bonfire" came up.
In 2003, the event became known as Student Bonfire. In a design approved by a professional engineer, Student Bonfire uses a wedding cake design, but, in a departure from tradition, every log in the stack (堆) touches the ground. For added support, four 24 feet poles are spaced evenly around the stack and then bolted to the 45 feet center pole with a steel pipe. Since the group does not receive funding, Student Bonfire charges a fee to each attendee to cover expenses. Attendance for Student Bonfire ranges from 8,000–15,000 people and the event is held in Brazos County or one of the surrounding counties.
60. When did Aggie Bonfire come into being?
A. In 2003.                             B. 1999.                               C. 1909.                               D. 2002.
61. Which of the following statements is true according to the above passage?
A. Texas A&M University started Aggie Bonfire.
B. The University of Texas at Austin started Students Bonfire.
C. Texas A&M University and The University of Texas started Students Bonfire.
D. Texas A&M University and The University of Texas started Aggie Bonfire.
62. Why did Aggie Bonfire once stop?
A. Too many people wanted to join in it.
B. Some serious accidents occurred during the activity.
C. It ran out of fund and then stopped.
D. There were no official supports.
63. Which of the following might serve as the best title of the whole passage?
A. From Aggie Bonfire to Student Bonfire.
B. A brief history of American Bonfire.
C. Why not join Bonfire?
D. Bonfire in Texas of the United States.

22. Cultural differences in business entertaining include problems such as whom one entertains and where and how one entertains. In countries where status is important, it is not advisable to invite people of different statuses to the same dinner party. Americans will often invite people to their homes. However, in some societies the home is considered too personal, unworthy, or too small to serve as a proper place for business entertaining. In some countries there is a “help yourself” method of entertaining done in the home. This method does not work well when entertaining people whose culture teaches them to wait to be asked three times before accepting an offer of food. For example, a Chinese guest went hungry all the evening without eating though he was quite hungry because he was too shy to take food after only being asked to do so once. In another case, an American woman executive(负责人) was being entertained in London. After having the tea served, the American woman helped herself to cream and sugar rather than waiting to be served. The English hostess was upset by the thought that she was not serving quickly enough.
As a general rule, a small gift from your home country is OK. A gift that is tied to the particular interest of the person is especially good. Gifts for children are also well received. Be careful that the “hometown” gift you are bringing to Singapore is not made in Hong Kong. Because many gifts carry symbolic meanings, it is always best to seek the advice of a cultural information before selecting gifts. The giving of large gifts, or payments for special service, should only be carried out after talking with legal department in the home and host culture.
68. It is no good inviting people of different social positions to the same party in the country where _______.
A. people don’t pay any attention to your positions
B. people care much about their statuses
C. entertainment is important
D. entertainment is not advisable
69. The Chinese guest is taken for an example to show ________.
A. that offering food should not be made too early
B. a “help yourself” method works well in this case
C. that accepting an offer of food should be made later
D. a “help yourself” method does not work well in some cases
70. The passage infers that American women like _________.
A. a “help yourself” method  B. waiting to be served  C. a slow service    D. cream and sugar
71. _________ is especially proper, when you are invited to a dinner party.
A. A big gift B. Large payment as a gift C. A small gift from one’s home D. A gift form Singapore
