They grew up, moved away, and became successful. They remained friends and shared an aim. The aim was to help boys aged 9 to 13 in their old neighborhood. They wanted to act as role models for young boys and to stop them from getting into trouble as they got older.They called their program The Elephant Men after reading how elephant families in Africa surround and protect their young when they are in danger. Reginald and Robert’s program supports the young men in inner cities who are at risk of losing their lives to drugs. Their idea is “protecting our youth with the power and belief of the elephant”.They look for different ways for young men to build respect for themselves and others. One way is to use sports, especially basketball, to bring them together. Another successful program is a four-week summer work program that includes more than 100 young boys. The boys pick up rubbish across the city in exchange for a $200 gift card with which they can buy school clothes. To be part of the program, the boys have to get a reference (介绍信) from an adult at their school who is willing to write something good about them. This gives the boys a reason to do well in school.“We know our program works,” says Reginald. “We have some kids in college now and the best day of the year for us is the weekend before school starts, when we see our boys in the stores buying their clothes and books for school.”4.What did Reginald and Robert hope to do?A.Be good examples for boys.B.Leave their hometown.C.Run their own business.D.Become well-known.5.Why is the program called The Elephant Men?A.It is the name of a book.B.It is based on a true story.C.It aims to protect the elephant.D.It has the same spirit as the elephant. 6.What do the boys need to do to be part of the summer work program?A.Buy clothes.B.Raise $200 for school to buy gifts.C.Collect rubbish.D.Get a recommendation from the school. 7.How does Reginald feel about The Elephant Men program?A.Grateful.B.Satisfied.C.Puzzled.D.Worried.The human brain remembers negative experiences more easily than positive ones. Our brains have developed in this way because threats, like dangerous animals, have a more immediate effect on people’s survival compared to positive things like food or shelter. As a result, you clearly know what makes you unhappy, but do you know what makes you happy?Research suggests that our level of happiness is partly shaped by the choices we make. If you’ve been chasing wealth, fame, power and some material things, you may be looking for happiness in the wrong places. Psychologists suggest that the following habits can make people happier.People who own close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not. The number of our friends is not important. What matters is the quality of our relationships. Relationships that bring happiness usually consist of the sharing of feelings, acceptance, mutual (双方的) respect and trust.People who exercise regularly can improve both their physical and mental well-being. Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as some medicine in treating depression.If we are so interested in an activity, we may lose track of time, and we can be in a state of flow. The activity could be playing the piano, surfing the Internet or playing a game… People who experience flow in their work or life tend to be happier.People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and can use them regularly. People are especially happy when they can set goals and use their strengths toachieve them.People, who think positively by being grateful, mindful and optimistic, are more likely to be happy. Being grateful means being thankful. Being mindful means considering, focusing on, and enjoying the experiences of the present moment. Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.8.Why do Human brains remember negative things more easily?A.Because negative things tend to affect human survival immediatelyB.Because negative things are easy to rememberC.Because negative things are much more important than other thingsD.Because negative things can make people live much happier9.According to this passage, in which of the following can people not find happiness?A.making friends B.doing sports C.playing the violin D.chasing power 10.In the last paragraph, what does author try to tell us?A.We should think more about our future.B.We should be positive in our life and work.C.We should focus on everything in our life.D.We should only enjoy the present moment.11.What does the passage mainly want to tell us?A.Why people remember positive things easily.B.Why people remember negative things easily.C.Some habits that make people happy.D.The habits the people form in their life.The Suez Canal (苏伊士运河),which connects the Mediterranean Sea (地中海) and the Red Sea, opened in 1869. It helps speed world trade between the East and the West. But the man-made waterway has also helped speed the rise of other things, such as non-native species, which have damaged the Mediterranean’s environment and caused native species to disappear.The number of non-native species has risen since the Suez Canal was widened in 2015. The “New Suez Canal” has raised concerns in many Mediterranean countries.Bella Galil is an Israeli biologist who has studied the Mediterranean for over 30 years. She noted that the widening and deepening of the Suez Canal had created a “movingaquarium” of species. These species could make coastal waters almost unusable for human beings. Galil believes the number of invasive species has reached 400, which is twice the number from 30 years ago.Scientists in Mediterranean countries from Turkey, Tunisia to Lebanon share the same concern. But some Egyptians don’t consider the environmental concerns as serious. They said only 5% of the invaders are a problem and that invasive species can be helpful by “replacing species that are overfished”. They don’t think that the widening of the canal is responsible for the increase in invasive species; they say the increase was caused by rising water temperatures and wastewater from ships.The Suez Canal Authority runs the canal. Canal officials say they are closely watching the movements of sea species. They say they are requiring ships to take action to avoid carrying species from one side of the canal to the other. And they are trying to keep salt levels high in the Bitter Lakes to block invasive species out. Galil, however, questions whether these will be enough to protect the native species. “One day we will wake up to a complete and irreversible (不可逆的) change and know that there was something we could have done about it, if only it had been done on time,” she said.12.What does the first paragraph show?A.Seeing is believing.B.Man will conquer nature.C.Let nature take its course.D.Every coin has two sides.13.What does Galil say about the “New Suez Canal”?A.Its environment is worsening.B.It connects Mediterranean countries.C.It is widened to include more species.D.It is to protect endangered native species. 14.What do some Egyptians disagree on?A.The results of overfishing.B.The decrease of native species.C.The cause of the increase in invasive species.D.The meaning of the widening of the Suez Canal.15.What is Galil’s attitude to the Suez Canal Authority’s action?A.Uninterested.B.Doubtful.C.Supporting.D.Understanding.二、七选五For someone who enjoys gardening, gifts for their garden can be very thoughtful and appreciated by them. They can be tools to make gardening easier. Or they can be decorations (装饰品) to make a garden more attractive. 16High quality garden tools can make excellent garden gift ideas. These may be designed with flowers or other gardening pictures on them, or they may be personalized for the gift receiver. Any user-friendly tools for gardeners can be a useful gift. 17Decorations for the garden are some of the more popular garden gift ideas. Animals and small sculptures (雕塑) are generally a good choice. They look good with most types of garden decoration. 18 If a gardener already has a certain style of decoration in his/her garden, try to buy something that fits that style.19 There are many ideas to be found online — using items such as old wine bottles to create lights, for example. The gift receiver will certainly appreciate the time it took to make a gift by hand.Some garden gifts can be very useful. If you know the gift receiver likes birds, for example, you might choose to buy a bird feeder or birdbath for the garden. A stone bench is a more expensive yet very nice gift for a garden as well. 20 These gifts show that you’re really thoughtful.A.That’s why they enjoy gardening.B.Here are some great garden gift ideas.C.It allows gardeners to rest when they’re tired.D.No matter what you buy, they will be appreciated.E.Making something for the garden in person is a nice idea.F.A gardening bag to store these tools can also be a great idea.G.Consider the design of the garden before buying any gifts for it.三、完形填空I spent all of my 30s saying yes.

chest shaking as she tried not to cry but failed.For all of my twenty-four years,my mom had been supportive.Strength and protection had always flowed from her to me.Now I knew it would have to flow the other way.Mom didn’t stay down for long.After the shock of breast-cancer,she armed herself with a notebook and a pen and a thousand questions for the doctors.She took notes on white blood cell counts and medications(药物)with long names as though she were studying for entrance exams into medical school.The not-knowing is the worst.”she said.The operation was successful.The chemo(化疗)was the harder part.I went with Mom to every chemo treatment.She rarely complained,though her hair was gone and her toenails and fingernails fell out one by one.She joked that she could save money on nail polish and put it toward the doctor bills,even though she never wore nail polish.”Cancer can take my hair,my nails,my health,my very life.But it can’t take my smile.”Mom said.Mom learned to share her fears with me,and it formed an even deeper bond between us.Yet I am certain there were fears she didn’t share because she was still protecting me-worries she only shared with Dad.Even in the darkest hours,she would just joke about the cancer.Mom always said,”When you look your greatest fear in the eye and laugh at it,you take away some of its power.”Mom was one of the lucky ones.She did beat her cancer,though not without scars.From her, I’ve learned I may not get to choose what I face,but I do get to choose how I face it.4.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph2mean?A.There were other ways to treat cancer.B.Knowledge of cancer would be helpful.C.Mom had to stay stronger to beat cancer.D.I should be the one being there for Mom.5.Which of the following words can best describe

limitations live independently in their own homes.The Robot Activity Support System,or RAS,uses sensors installed in a WSU smart home to determine where its residents are,what they are doing and when they need assistance with dailyactivities.It navigates(定位)through rooms and around obstacles to find people on its own, provides video instructions on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owner to objects like their medication or a snack in the kitchen.“RAS combines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of a WSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment,as the need for help is detected,”said Bryan Minor,a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.Currently,an estimated50percent of adults over the age of85need assistance with every day activities such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cost for this assistance in the US is nearly$2trillion.With the number of adults over85expected to triple by2050, researchers hope that technologies like RAS and the WSU smart home will relieve some of the financial strain on the healthcare system by making it easier for older adults to live alone.RAS is the first robot that researchers have tried to incorporate into their smart home environment.They recently published a study in the journal Cognitive Systems Research that demonstrates how RAS could make life easier for older adults struggling to live independently.“While we are still in an early stage of development,our initial results with RAS have been promising,”Minor said.“The next step in the research will be to test RAS’performance with a group of older adults to get a better idea of what prompts,video reminders and other preferences they have regarding the robot.”8.How does RAS serve elderly people?A.Through sensors.B.Through objects.C.Through a mobile robot.D.Through their daily activities.9.What can we know about RAS?A.It is the first robot used in daily life.B.Its function remains to be tested.C.It can locate people and do any task.D.It can cook for owners on its own.10.What’s Minor’s attitude toward the future of RAS?A.Doubtful.B.Negative.C.Optimistic.D.Uncertain.11.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Elderly people leave the nursing home.B.Smart Home Tests first elder-Care robot.C.RAS,the first robot to make home smart.D.Older adults have benefited from RAS.DWhat kind of amusing activities will you participate in during your life?Will you be spending your free time doing safe sports with little danger or will you always be one of the first people to try the next popular extreme activity?Scientists have been interested in finding out why some people seem to prefer dangerous activities.Although there are exceptions,researchers have found that in most cases men are less cautious than women.Men often try to impress women by proving that they are courageous andfearless,and they are more likely to take risks when women are watching them or when they are competing against other men.Research also shows that as people get older they usually behave more responsibly and avoid taking unnecessary risks.In addition,when people are in stable relationships,they seem to be less attracted to daring activities.Some people seem to be more daring than others,but there are many different types of risks and some people take one type of risk,but not another.Psychologists have identified a number of categories of risk.These include financial risks,risks related to health and safety,amusing risks and social risks.Psychologists discover that some people will take risks in one area,but not in another.Just if a person enjoys bungee(蹦极)jumping,it doesn’t mean he or she will take chances when investing(投资)money or that he will tell a joke to a group of strangers.Interestingly,research shows that women take more social risks than men.They are more likely to make career changes as they get older and to express unpopular opinions in business meetings.Yet,at the end of the day,the likelihood of particular people taking a risk depends on their personalities.In general,optimistic people are more likely to take risks because they focus on the possible positive outcomes of their actions.On the other hand,those with opposite personality are much more likely to avoid taking a chance.12.Why do men try to prove they are brave according to the research?A.To attract people’s attention.B.To take on more responsibility.C.To make favorable impressions on people.D.To develop stable relationships with others.13.What does the example of bungee jumping indicate?A.People take one type of risk but not another.B.There are more than one type of risk.C.Bungee jumping is dangerous but popular.D.Some people are more courageous than others.14.What have researchers discovered about women?A.They are willing to take social risks.B.They are always changing Jobs.C.They are good at doing business.D.They are usually more conservative than men.15.What mainly determine whether people take risks possibly?A.Their personalities.B.Their financial conditions.C.Their social relationships.D.Their expectations of outcomes.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

But there are other stars, other suns, not only thousands of them, but millions of them. Do different stars have planets? We can see the planets round our own sun. but we haven ’ t been anymore. The stars are too far away from us. Stars give out light, but the planets don ’ t have any light of their own. So we cane them. They’aretsetoo far, and too dark. Still, we can tell that some stars have planets. While a big planet goes round, it pulls its star to one side. And sometimes we can see this. Then we know that the star has a planet. For example, Barnard ’Stars is a small red star. And it is the quickest star in the universe. But sometimes it moves slower, and then quicker again. We have known Bernard ’ s Star for many years, and now we are sure it has a planet.1. A star is a large body in the universe.

However, there is a correct way to lift things from the floor. If you pick up heavy things correctly, you probably will not hurt your back.To lift something from the floor correctly, first bend ( 弯曲 ) your knees and lower yourself. Keep your back straight. Do not bent over, from your waist ( 腰 ) keep your back and hips (臀部 ) and waist in a line. If you bent over, the muscles in your lowerback can became hurt very easily. If you keep your back and hips straight, the muscles are stronger, because they hold up together. The other muscles can then help the lower back muscles.As you lower yourself, try to get as close to thing as you can, put one knee oneach side of the thing. Remember at all times to keep your back straight. Put your hand under the thing that is in front of you, between y our knees.To lift the thing, you should stand up slowly.

The programme at the end of Channel 2 means _______ on TV next week.A. newsB. programmesC. peopleD. placesDThe world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%—— the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we can not even use all of that. Even worse, some of it has been made dirty.However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But ourneed for water is becoming larger and larger quickly —— almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious world wide water shortage (缺少 ) later on.We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most l arge cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system(下水道 ). From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places.But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we'd have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps we'll be in no danger of drying up.16.The world is thirsty for water because.A. man hasn't got enough food to eatB. we haven't got enough fresh waterC. only 70% of the earth's surface is waterD. more water is sent into sewer systems17.The underlined word valuable means.A. much and saltyB.fresh and enoughC. dear and usefulD. clean and helpful18.What should we do if we want to have enough fresh water?(a)Make full use of the sea water.(b)Carry salt water into lakes or rivers.(c)Try to save the fresh water as much as possible.(d)Do our best to use the water again.(e)Drink and use all the water on the earth's surface.A.(c)and(e)B.(a)and(d)C.(a),(c)and(d)D.(b),(d)and(e)19.The best but the most difficult way to solve (解决 ) the water problem of theworld is to.A. remove the salt from sea waterB.make the water in cities cleanC. take water from undergroundD.make the need for water smaller20.What's the best title (标题 ) for this passage?A. The Importance of the WaterB. The World's Water ProblemC. The Thirsty WorldD.

Where is the material probably from?A. Health magazineB. Scientific reportC. Education journalD. Travel guideBPeople love Shakespeare’s vocabulary and creativity. He used at least 15,000 words in his writing! But Bible’s Old Testament (旧约圣经) only contains 5,642 words, Shakespeare also invented many new terms and phrase.If someone’s behavior suggested they were not honest and should not be trusted, Shakespeare called them suspicious. If someone was ridiculous and perhaps looked like a fool, Shakespeare found their actions laughable. And for those who offered their opinions on something’s quality, Shakespeare called them critics (评论家). Today, for instance, food critics and film critics give their opinions on food and film.The familiar phrase “break the ice” comes from Shakespeare’s play The Taming of the Shrew. The “ice is broken” when people in a group, who have never met before, begin to talk to each other by doing some activities. More common words were first used by Shakespeare including “road”, “gossip”, “lonely”, “bump” and “hurry”.Four hundred years after his death. Shakespeare surely lives on, in everyday speech, as the most famous writer of all time.5.Shakespeare’s writings contain ________.A.over 15,000 words B.less than 15,000 wordsC.only 5,642 words D.less than 5,642 words6.Which of following can replace the underlined word “suspicious” on Paragraph 2?A.meaningful B.doubtful C.thoughtful D.powerful 7.Whose actions are considered laughable from Paragraph 2?A.Dishonest people’s B.Silly people’sC.Food critics’D.Film critics’8.What may be the best title for the text?A.Famous Words in English PlaysB.Shakespeare’s Influence on EnglishC.The Famous Writer --- ShakespeareD.Shakespeare’s Great LifeCPeople believe that every word has its correct meaning(s). When we are not sure, we usually check online, or turn to our teachers or dictionaries. But do you know how dictionaries were made in the past?First, dictionary writers read the important books of the period or the subject that the dictionary was about. As they read, they copied necessary information on cards: interesting words, common words—both in their daily uses and unusual uses, and also the sentences where they were used. That is to say, the words, along with the uses of each word, were collected. Fora really big dictionary, millions of such cards were collected. This task could last for years. After the cards were collected, they were put in alphabetical order(A—Z). When this was done, there would be several hundred cards for each single word.Then, to define(定义)a word, the dictionary writer placed its hundreds of cards before him. He read the cards closely, threw away some, read the rest again, and divided up the cards according to what he thought were the common uses of the word. Finally, he wrote the definitions, following the hard-and-fast rule: each definition must come from an example on a certain card in front of him.So, the writing of a dictionary was not a task of inventing meanings of words, but a task of recording their meanings. The writer of a dictionary was a historian, not a law maker.As time develops, the way of producing dictionaries has greatly changed. Nowadays, we can use online dictionaries too. When choosing dictionary.Howevering or writing, we can be guided by the dictionary.However, we cannot be controlled by it, because new situations, new experiences, new inventions, and new feelings are always pushing us to give new uses to old words.9. Which shows the correct steps of how dictionaries were made in the past?A.①—③—④—②B.①—②—④—③C.③—①—④—②D.③—④—②—①10. What can we learn from the passage about dictionary writing in the past?A. It was long-time hard work.B. It was a task of inventing and recording.C. It should be done by historians.D. It had to use the law-making rules.11. What does the writer advise us to do when we choose words in communication?A. Try to create new words.B. Follow the dictionary strictly.C. Use online dictionaries instead.D. Be open to the new uses of words.DWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticedthis one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note — “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery” — and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically (魔术般) appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house. Sometimes when it was too cold outside, we just put the box indoors so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊) . Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.12. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer to __________.A. show a magic trickB. pay for the deliveryC. satisfy his curiosityD. please his mother13. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?A. He wanted to have tea there.B. The milk had to be put indoors every time.C. He was related to the family.D. He was trusted by the family.14. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is not allowed by law.15. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He needed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Sometimes, however, a couple can not have a child of their own. In this case, they may decide to adopt(领养) a child. In fact, adoption is very common today. There are about 60 thousand adoptions each year in the United States alone. Some people prefer to adopt infants, others adopt older children, some couples adopt children from their own countries, and others adopt children from foreign countries. In any case, they all adopt children for the same reason ---- they care about children and want to give their adopted child a happy life.Most adopted children know that they are adopted. Psychologists and child-care experts generally think this is a good idea. However, many adopted children or adoptees have very little information about their biological parents. As a matter of fact, it is often very difficult for adoptees to find out about their birth parents because the birth records of most adoptees are usually sealed(密封). The information is secret so no one can see it. Naturally, adopted children have different feelings about their birth parents. Many adoptees want to search for them, but others do not. The decision to search for birth parents is a difficult one to make. Most adoptees have mixed feelings about finding their biological parents. Even though adoptees do not know about their natural parents, they do know that their adopted parents want them, love them and will care for them.56. According to the passage, some couples adopt children because_________A. They care a lot about children.B. They need looking after in their old age.C. They want to enrich their life experience.D. They want children to keep them company.57. Why is it difficult for adoptees to find out about their birth parents?A. They are usually adopted from distant places.B. Their birth parents often try to hide their birth information.C. Their birth information is usually kept secret.D. Their adoptive parents don’t want them to know their birth parents.58. Adoptees find it hard to make the decision to search for their birth parents, because____A. They generally hold bad feelings towards their birth parents.B. They do not want to hurt the feelings of their adoptive parents.C. They are fully aware of the expenses involved in the search.D. They have mixed feelings about finding their natural parents.59. What does the underlined word ―infants‖ in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?A. teenagersB. babies over 2-year oldC. new babiesD. persons under the age of 1860. What can we infer from the passage?A. Early adoption makes for closer parent-child relationship.B. Most people prefer to adopt children from overseas.C. Understanding is the key to successful adoption.D. Adoption has much to do with love.61. After taking the course at www. , you will be able to ____.A. travel for little or no moneyB. get more ticketsC. keep learningD. work on the ship62.

We can go to visit the Body Image Exhibition ______.A. at 4:30 p.m. at the cost of 20 Y uanB. by subway at nightC. by ship for freeD. at 325 Nanjing Road W in June64. What can be inferred in this passage?A. We can get more information about Travel Tips on the phone.B. We can visit The Body Image Exhibition at 6 p.m. on June 2C. We can get at least $1 plane tickets if we take the course at www. D. We can visit The USA Pavilion from Gate 8.65.This passage is most likely to be found in a(an)___ showB. newspaperC. interviewD. science reportCAlthough many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, ―My spoken English is poor.‖ However, their spoken English does not have to remain ―poor‖! I would like to sugge st that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY(准确性). Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. Ifyou have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.66. What is most probably the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To improve your reading.B. To improve your listening.C. To improve your spoken English.D. To improve your vocabulary.67. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _______.A. Don’t be fluen t. Just be accurate!B.

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 ofthe 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!71. The writer of this passage must be ______.A. an AmericanB. a ChineseC. a professorD. a student72.
