1、湄江高级中学2017-2018学年度第二学期高一第一次月考英 语出题人：杨德松第一部分：阅读理解（共两节， 20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节 阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AWhen my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture.

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be se
3、rved so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are a
4、nd how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife.

Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience. However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem si
6、nce “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they
7、 got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didnt want to hear. After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I dont respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I dont show my feelings through words.
