第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A.

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 develop 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 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!

36．The writer of this passage must be ______.

A. an American B. a Chinese C. a professor D. 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 welcomed at the airport B. offered a ride to his/her home

C. treated hospitably at his/her home D. treated to dinner in a restaurant

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

A. strict with time B. serious with time

C. careful with time D. willing to spend time

B

THE WAY TO READ FAST

Perhaps 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" to

these 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 reading???????

A. to hold a piece of paper between them

B. to stop yourself talking to others

C. to tell others to be silent

D. to feel whether your lips move or not

41. When your eyes travel across the lines of words,????????

A. you need to read the words out

B. you need to look at every word carefully

C. you need to read several words at a time

D. you need to remember every word

42．When you read,????????

A. don’t use your finger to point to words

B. don’t hold your books with your hands

C. don’t hold your head still

D. don’t do any of the things mentioned (提到) above.

C

What 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 abou
