14．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 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 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 daily 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!
25．The writer of this passage must beB．
A．an American
B．a Chinese
C．a professor
D．a student
26．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？C
A．Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families．
B．Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives．
C．Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break．
D．Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy．
27．The underlined words"generous with our time"in Paragraph 3probably meanD．
A．strict with time
B．serious with time
C．careful with time
D．willing to spend time
28．A suitable title for this passage would probably be"D"．
A．Friendships between Chinese
B．Friendships between Americans
C．Americans'hospitality
D．Americans'and Chinese's views of friendships．

分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．

解答 25-28 BCDD
25 B．细节理解题．根据文中"This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand，"及"Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives，"可知作者是一名中国人，故选 B．
26 C．细节理解题，根据Once we arrive at their homes，the welcome will be full，warm and real．We will find ourselves treated hospitably．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，故选C．
27 D．词义猜测题．根据文中"they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time．"说明当美国人忙的时候他们对自己的时间很苛刻，所以可知中国人对待自己的时间是慷概的，故选D．
28 D 主旨大意题．根据文中"America is a mobile society．Friendships between Americans can be close and real，yet disappear soon if situations change．"及"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．"可知本文主要说的是中美之间对友谊的观点，故选 D．

点评考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

2．Sharing cars to work is not unusual．But what about sharing time to raise children together？In Ningbo city of Zhejiang province in East China，young mothers in the same neighborhood pool their children together，and share the responsibility of being parents．
Spending every day together，but not families-in this coastal city of East China，three mothers are trying a new way of raising their kids，by pooling them together．Among the mothers are both office workers and housewives．They say they do so not just because of the tight schedule．
Jiujiu's mother said，"By kids pooling，we mean to create an opportunity for the kids to spend time together so that we can observe our kids，learn more about them．And then we can discuss how to better bring them up．"
The three families have been doing so for two years，in school days and holidays．Their children have grown used to each other's company，Chichi's mother said，"My son was a bit shy．We've been talking him to be more active，but he hardly changed．After joining the kids pool，suddenly we found him willing to communicate with others now．When we are not there，he has to rely on himself to get along with his pals．"
Generally，mothers speak highly about the pooling．The mothers describe the pooling as bringing the running water into a closed pond．It opens a window to a different world for both kids and parents．But there are moments when opinions differ．Xiaoxiao's mother said，"Sex education for example．Kids will be curious about it when they reach a certain age．Personally I want to talk with my child about it，frankly and sincerely．But the other two moms think it better not to bring it up．"Xiaoxiao's mother says her solution is to share some parenting guidebooks with other mothers and let them make the decision．
The headmaster of the kindergarten believes such pooling activities test not only children，but also the parents．Jin Hongqing，kindergarten headmaster said，"Parents need to be tolerant and patient．They shouldn't play the blame game when kids fight with each other．It's better to let the kids solve the issue by themselves．What they can do as parents is to communicate．"
1．All the following aspects are the benefits of kids pooling EXCEPTD．
A．It saves time and helps relieve mother's burden．
B．It allows parents to learn more about kids．
C．It allows kids to learn to share and be independent．
D．It offers better education than the kindergartens．
2．Why is sex education mentioned in the passage？A
A．To show sometimes mothers have different opinions．
B．To suggest children are sometimes curious about it．
C．To explain sex education is not suitable for children．
D．To indicate mothers think highly of kids pooling．
3．What's the writer's attitude towards kids pooling？C
A．Favorable．
B．Negative．
C．Unclear．
D．Doubtful．
4．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage？A
A．Kids pooling．
B．Chinese parenting．
C．Sharing children．
D．Sharing cars．

9．Instagram is a fast，beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family．Take a picture or video，choose a filter to transform its look and feel，and then post to Instagram-it's that easy．You can even share to Facebook，Twitter and more．It's a new way to see the world．So many photos of food are contained on Instagram-now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks．
I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly，but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK，I'd probably do it too．"The Picture House"is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant．You order，click a photo of the food，share on Instagram and eat for free!
The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant（巨人）Birds Eye，who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online．They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals．So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range．
The pop-up diner was open in Soho，London for three days in May，and is now moving to other major UK cities．They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for，if they photo and Instagram it．
The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's"Food for Life"campaign，a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food．"Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments-from the everyday to the special，"said marketing director Margaret Jobling．
The reaction to the Picture House has been great so far And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way．Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses．Last year in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there，not by what they eat．
28．Instagram probably isA．
A．a program used to share photos
B．a campaign of"Food for Life"
C．a restaurant free of charge
D．a new marketing project
29．What can we infer from the passage？B
A．The Picture House was opened in Scotland
B．Lots of British people like taking photos of their meals．
C．The Picture House is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant．
D．The British people's response to the Picture House is quite cold．
30．"The Picture House"encourages sharing photos of its food toC．
A．raise the price of frozen food
B．create a new social media trend
C．attract more customers
D．reward the regular customers
31．Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage？D
A．Food for Life
B．The Pop-up Diner
C．No Need to Pay
D．Pay by Picture．

19．Many people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometown behind．Questions arise，though，when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college．
One of the first considerations may be finance．State and public colleges are often the least expensive．Often，though，the better colleges are private and more expensive．It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons．
Another major factor is location．Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities．A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake．Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college．Distance from home may also come into consideration．If family is a top priority，that person should stay close to home； on the other hand，if independence is desired，a campus farther from home would be more appropriate．
School size also plays a major role in the decision process．If you want to get to know your teachers，a small college is suitable．For those of you who consider yourself a"people_person"and want a wide range of activities，a large college is more fitting．Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decisionmaking process if you want to get the most from your education．The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you．
Crucially（至关重要地），one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted．An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match．Similarly，an average school for an aboveaverage student would not work well．The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard．Although there may not be the perfect college out there，there probably will be one that is close．Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough．
8．When it comes to going to college the author thinksC．
A．students will become homesick
B．students are unwilling to leave their home
C．financial situation is the first to consider
D．students are eager to attend their ideal university
9．What is the main idea of the third paragraph？A
A．The location of the college is a main factor．
B．A long distance will make students upset．
C．Students can be independent at college．
D．The climate must be taken into consideration．
10．What does the underlined part"people person"in the passage mean？A
A．A very sociable person．
B．A very particular person．
C．A person of great capacity．
D．A person of great importance．
11．Which is the most important factor when choosing a college？D
A．The location of a college．
B．The coming challenges．
C．School size．
D．The examination result．

6．Bad news sells．If it bleeds，it leads．No news is good news，and good news is no news．Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers．But now that information is being spread and monitored（监控） in different ways，researchers are discovering new rules．By tracking people's e-mails and online posts，scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories．
"The‘if it bleeds'rule works for mass media，"says Jonah Berger，a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania．"They want your eyeballs and don't care how you're feeling．But when you share a story with your friends，you care a lot more how they react．You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer．"
Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication-e-mails，Web posts and reviews，face-to-face conversations-found that it tended to be more positive than negative（消极的），but that didn't necessarily mean people preferred positive news．Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things？To test for that possibility，Dr．Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories：thousands of articles on The New York Times'website．He and a Penn colleague analyzed the"most e-mailed"list for six months．One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles．He found that science amazed Times'readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others．
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny，or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety，but not articles that left them merely sad．They needed to be aroused（激发） one way or the other，and they preferred good news to bad．The more positive an article，the more likely it was to be shared，as Dr．Berger explains in his new book，"Contagious：Why Things Catch On．"
28．What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to？A
A．News reports．
B．Research papers．
C．Private e-mails．
D．Daily conversations．
29．What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer？C
A．They're socially inactive．
B．They're good at telling stories．
C．They're inconsiderate of others．
D．They're careful with their words．
30．Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr．Berger's research？B
A．Sports new．
B．Science articles．
C．Personal accounts．
D．Financial reviews．
31．What can be a suitable title for the text？D
A．Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide
B．Online News Attracts More People
C．Reading Habits Change with the Times
D．Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks．

3．Once upon a time，there was a wonderful old man who loved everything on the land--animals and plants．
One day while walking through the woods，the old man found a cocoon of a butterfly．He took it home．A few days later，a small opening appeared； he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole．Then it seemed to stop making any progress．It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther．Then the man decided to help the butterfly，so he took a pair of scissors and cut the remaining bit of the cocoon．The butterfly then came out easily．
But it had a swollen body and small，shriveled wings．The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that，at any moment，the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body，or they would be smaller．Neither happened!In fact，the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled （枯萎）wings．It never was able to fly．
What the man in his kindness and hurry did not understand was that the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening was nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon．
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life．If we were allowed to go through our life without any difficulties，it would cripple （无能） us．We would not be as strong as what we could have been．And we could never fly．
21．The old man cut the cocoon in order toC．
A．kill the butterfly
B．play with the butterfly
C．make the butterfly come out easily
D．have the butterfly
22．The reason why the butterfly could not fly is thatD．
A．the old man broke its wings
B．it was too small
C．newly born butterflies can't fly
D．it came out of its cocoon without enough struggle
23．What can we know from the passage？B
A．That old man was fond of everything except the butterfly．
B．It was the old man that stopped the butterfly flying．
C．The old man realized his mistake．
D．It's not hard for the butterfly to come out of the cocoon．
24．What does the author want to tell us by writing the passage？C
A．We should help others．
B．Without others'help we can still succeed．
C．Struggles in our life can make us stronger．
D．Butterflies can fly without people's help．
