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 develop more slowly but then may bee 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 weling 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 wele 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 wele 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!36.The writer of this passage must be ______.A. an AmericanB. a ChineseC. a professorD. a student 37.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.B. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.C. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.D. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families. 38.From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.A. warmly weled at the airportB. offered a ride to his/her homeC. treated hospitably at his/her homeD. treated to dinner in a restaurant 39.The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.A. strict with timeB. serious with timeC. careful with timeD. willing to spend timeBTHE WAY TO READ FASTPerhaps you have been told about some habits(习惯)which stop a person reading fast、and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.Do you still have any of these bad habits7 Check yourself by answering "yes" or "no" tothese questions:1. Do you move your lips(嘴唇) when reading silently?2. Do you point to words with your finger as you read?3. Do you move your head from side to side as you read?4. Do you read one word at a time?If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit.If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them.If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you will not have a free finger to use in pointing while reading.If you move your head, place your chin(下巴)in one hand, and hold your head still(不动地,静止地).If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance(看一眼) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.40.You may hold your fingers over your lips while readingA. to hold a piece of paper between themB. to stop yourself talking to othersC. to tell others to be silentD. to feel whether your lips move or not41. When your eyes travel across the lines of words,A. you need to read the words outB. you need to look at every word carefullyC. you need to read several words at a timeD. you need to remember every word42.When you read,A. don’t use your fi nger to point to wordsB. don’t hold your books with your handsC. don’t hold your head stillD. don’t do any of the things mentioned (提到) above.CWhat will man be like in the future—in 5000 or even 50, 000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago , was shorter than he is today. Now, on average men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years isa relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modem world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’ s capacity(容量). As time goes on , however , we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact , we use them so much that very often they bee weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’ s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however , our fingers will grow more sensitive(敏感的)because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in mon with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. …43.The passage mainly tells us that _______.A. man’s life will be different in the future.B. future man will look quite different from us.C. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes.D. human’s organs’ functions will bee weak “44.The change in man’s size of forehead will probably be because ___________.A. he makes use only20% of the brain’s capacity.B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeD. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on :45.What will be true about a human being in the future?A. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.C. His fingers will grow weaker because he won’t have to make use of them.D. He will think and feel in a different way.46.It is implied that ________.A. human beings will bee less attractive in the futureB. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration(退化,)C. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD. future life is always predictableDAbout six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy — who could not have been more than seven or eight years old — replied.“Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed (确认) my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we w ere “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?Human development is depended not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation (诱惑) , many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.munication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read plex materials.47.According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.A.a sure sign of a mental problem in a childB.a mental state present in all humans, including childrenC.something that cannot be avoided in children’s mental development D.something hardly to be expected in a young child48.Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________. A.through connection with societyB.gradually and under guidanceC.naturally without being taughtD.through watching television49.According to the author, that today’s children seem adultlike results from ______. A.the widespread influence of televisionB.the poor arrangement of teaching contentC.the fast pace of human scientific developmentD.the rising standard of living50.What does the author think of munication through print for children?A.It enables children to gain more social information.B.It develops children’s interest in reading and writing.C.It helps children to read and write well.D.It can control what children are to learn.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)选项中有两项为多余选项。
