Section B

　　Directions: In this section there is one incomplete interview which has four blanks and four choices A, B, C and D, taken from the interview. Fill in each of the blanks with one of the choices to complete the interview and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.

　　A. Nationalities stay in their own areas.

　　B. People don’t queue like they do here in England.

　　C. What I liked best was that I could work and still lead a normal life.

　　D. Some supermarkets are open twenty-four hours a day.

　　Interviewer: How long did you live in the States?

　　Interviewee: I was there for two years, in New York, and I enjoyed it tremendously.

　　(1) ___________ I mean, the shops are open till 10:00 p.m.

　　Interviewer: All shops?

　　Interviewee: Yes, everything. Food shops, chemists, and department stores.

　　(2) ___________And on public holidays, only the banks are shut.

　　Interviewer: I see, um... Do you think New York is as multinational as London?

　　Interviewee: Oh, that’s for sure. But it’s not as mixed. (3)___________ like there’s Russian section, the German section and China Town. But I think the major difference between these two cities was the height of the place. Everything was up in the Big Apple. We lived on the thirty-fifth floor. And of course everything is faster and the New Yorkers are much ruder.

　　Interviewer: Oh! In what way?

　　Interviewee: Well, pushing in the street, fights about getting on the bus. (4)___________ And of course the taxi drivers! New York taxi drivers must be the rudest in the world!

　　1.【答案】C

　　【解析】根据已提供的身份，可以得知这是一篇访谈。采访者问对方：在美国住了多久?对方回答，在纽约呆了两年，非常喜欢那里：enjoyed it tremendously。空格后讲到美国的店铺晚上10点还开着门，可以推断出受访者在工作的同时能享受便捷的服务，且C项中的like与空格前的enjoy表达的是相同的感受，因此选C。

　　2.【答案】D

　　【解析】根据采访者的惊讶疑问：All shops?“所有商店都营业到晚上10点吗?”受访者就列举了一些店铺：Food shops, chemists, and department stores, 而选项D的中 supermarket与此形成并列关系，因此选D。

　　3.【答案】A

　　【解析】根据上文的提问：Do you think New York is as multinational as London?，受访者回答是肯定的，但同时表示：But it’s not as mixed.“但不是混居”，接下来就列举了like there’s Russian section, the German section and China Town. 说明纽约不像伦敦那样各个民族混杂在一起，各民族都有自己的居住区域，因此选A。

　　4.【答案】B

　　【解析】上文纽约的快节奏生活和纽约人的粗鲁，接着列举了纽约人粗鲁的具体表现：pushing in the street, fights about getting on the bus。B项“和英国人不一样，人们不排队”是粗鲁的一种表现，且和前面的结构并列，符合题意。

　　【参考译文】

　　采访者：你在美国住多长时间了?

　　被采访者：我在纽约呆了两年，非常喜欢那里。我最喜欢的就是我能在那工作并正常地生活。我的意思是那里的店铺晚上10点还营业。

　　采访者：所有的店铺吗?

　　被采访者：是的，所有的店铺。食品店、药店和百货商店。有超市24小时营业。而且在公共假日也只有银行关门。

　　采访者：哦，是这样啊。你认为纽约和伦敦一样是一个多民族的城市吗?

　　被采访者：那是肯定的。但是纽约不像伦敦这么混居。所有的民族都有自己的区域。比如有俄罗斯区、德国区和中国城。但我认为这两座城市最大的区别是房子的高度。在纽约什么都在高处，我们就住在35楼。当然纽约的一切节奏更快，而且纽约人也更粗鲁，不讲礼貌。

　　采访者：哦，粗鲁在哪方面了?

　　被采访者：嗯，在街上你推我挤，争抢着上公交车，而且不像伦敦那样做事排队，当时还有出租车司机!纽约的出租车司机肯定是世界上最粗鲁的!
