【题目】America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while, then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.

Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality(好客) easily.

Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.

For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home.

1Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.

B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.

C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.

D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.

2From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be .

A. warmly welcomed at the airport

B. treated hospitably at his home

C. offered a ride to his home

D. treated to dinner in a restaurant

3The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean .

A. willing to spend time B. serious with time

C. careful with time D. strict with time

4A suitable title for this passage would probably be “ ”.

A. Friendships Between Chinese

B. Friendships Between Americans

C. Americans' and Chinese's Views of Friendships

D. Americans' Hospitality

【答案】

1D

2C

3B

4D

【解析】美国是一个流动的社会。美国人之间的友谊可以接近真实,然而如果情况变化很快消失。任何一方都不觉得受伤害。双方可能在一年或两年交换圣诞问候,也许通信一阵子之后就没有了。如果相同的两个人有再次见面的机会,甚至几年后,他们会继续他们的友谊。这可能对中国人来说是非常难理解,因为我们之间的友谊发展得慢但后来可能成为终身的感情。

1细节理解题。根据If the same two people meet again by chance,even years later,they pick up the friendship.可知同两个人甚至数年后有机会再见面,他们还会继续他们的友谊,所以选C。

2细节理解题,从最后两段可知,当我们去美国拜访我们的朋友时,我们很有可能在他家受到款待,所以选D。

3词义猜测题。根据语境generous with our time 的意思是乐意跟我们花费时间,所以选A。

4主旨大意题。本文在谈论中国和美国对友谊的观点不同,所以选C。

If you are on the street, you will see all kinds of people passing by. It’s not rare to see people with bad manner. Some throw away rubbish casually. Some spits in public. Some even sit or lie on the ground, completely ignore others’ feelings. People feel really badly about all these behaviors.

To be honesty, smoking in public places makes me really annoying. As it is known to us all, smoking does harm for people’s health. Not only is it bad for the smoker himself, but also it is threat to the public health. It was hoped that an effective way can be found to educate these people to behave well in public.

【题目】Welcome to Orlando! It has a host of attractions and activities. Ready to join the party and plan a visit to O-Town? Just print out our must-see list.

Universal Orlando’s Islands of Adventure

The addition of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is on the list of must-visits for theme park lovers. Each of the park’s “islands”—Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, Marvel Super Hero Island, Seuss Landing and The Lost Continent—is unique!(407-363-8000)

Gatorland

It bills itself as “Orlando’s best half-day attraction”, for in a city people are limited by their time and money. Catch Gatorland’s animals and handler shows in the afternoon. There’s a nighttime run as well. Other fun add-ons include the Gator Night Shine. Gatorland is known as a theme park bargain.(407-855-5496)

Aquatica

As one of the city’s most unique water parks, Aquatica is a wonderful world of water rides and white sand beaches. And if you enjoy a side of fear with your water-park fun, be sure to check out Ihu’s Breakaway Falls. This towering slide is not for the weak heart. The less adventurous will still find plenty of fun playing from one big wave pool to another or flowing down the lazy river through a world of unusual fish. You can also watch dolphins underwater. (407-351-3600)

Warbird Adventures

Warbird Adventures offers you the opportunity to fly like a hero in World War II in the North American Aviation T-6 Texan(also known as the Harvard). Flights last from 15 minutes to an hour. A visit to the nearby Kissimmee Air Museum is a wonderful way to round out the experience. (407-870-7366)
