【湖南省张家界市2015年中考英语试题】 问答题(共5小题,满分15分)根据短文内容回答问题。                 Honesty of American students
When I first arrived in America,I was surprised by the honesty of my classmates.Over my first month at school,I didn’t see or hear anyone cheating.I found two reasons for this.
First,if any student cheats,he or she will get punished.My school has a rule called the Honor Code.It asks students not to steal,lie or cheat.If someone goes against the code,he or she will have to leave the school.During my first year in the school,seven students left the school because of cheating.
Second,American students don’t care about scores as much as Chinese students do.They know that colleges will look at their all-round abilities instead of only scores.So they have fewer reasons to cheat.
The writer didn’t see or hear anyone cheating when she first arrived in America, did she?
 
What is the Honor Code about?
 
What will happen if students go against the code?
 
Who does the writer think care more about scores, American students or Chinese students?
 
Do American colleges think all-round abilities are important for students?

If you go to Finland, you’ll be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.
Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high class Benz with a fare (票价) 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 get off without paying your fare. And the driver would not show the least sign of worry.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so 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 and dine free of charge.
With so many loopholes (漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “pretty advantages”. But the strange things 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. As the Finns always act on good faith and always show an attitude of “which is which” and “what is what” in everything they do, so to live in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”. In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to take precautions (预防措施) against others?
The word “foolish” probably means _____________.

A.friendly    B.careful    C.strange    D.funny

Why wouldn’t the driver show the least sign of worry? Because _________.

A.he is sure that the passengers always act on good faith
B.he is afraid to make the passengers angry and unhappy
C.he thinks the passengers may be too poor to pay him
D.he is sure that the passengers are really in trouble

The dining rooms in all big hotels ___________.

A.check the guests’ registration card carefully
B.give people meals without paying
C.serve their guests free of charge
D.only serve their guests free breakfast

What’s FALSE according to the passage?

A.No one takes advantages although there are many loopholes.
B.All the taxi-passengers come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business.
C.Not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms.
