I went to an American college a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was hurt in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court（法院） . After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and decided to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was amazed. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible(負(fù)有責(zé)任 的 ) for my accident, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him. But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215. My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to refuse his help. And he made me pay him $770. Now I had to act as my own lawyer. I told the insurance(保險(xiǎn) ） pany the date I was leaving America because of my inexperience（缺少經(jīng)驗(yàn)） . Knowing that, they played for time and I left without getting a cent. My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides. 41. The writer’s roommate offered to help him because________. A. he thought it was a chance to make some money B. he felt sorry for the writer C. he knew the doctor was a very good one D. he wanted the writer to have a good lawyer 42.

A. be well treated by the doctor B. talk with the person responsible for the accident C. get what he should pay for his injury D. get well before he leaves that country. 43. Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very__________. A. selfish B. friendly C. rude D. busy 44. The underlined word “charge” in the second paragraph means ______. A. 職責(zé) B. 掌管 C. 索價(jià) D. 命令 45. What conclusion can you draw from the story? A. Going to court is something very mon in America. B. One must be very careful while driving a car. C. Money is more important than other things in the US. D. There are more bad sides in America than good sides. 第二部分 非選擇題 (60 分 ) 四、 閱讀表達(dá) 請(qǐng)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容 ，回答下面問題 （ 10 分） Who is the most famous fairy tale writer?
