【題目】閱讀理解
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 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!
（1）The writer of this passage must be ________.
A.an American
B.a Chinese
C.a professor
D.a student
（2）Which 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.
（3）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 home
C.treated hospitably at his home
D.treated to dinner in a restaurant
（4）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
（5）A suitable title for this passage would probably be “________”.
A.Friendships between Chinese
B.Friendships between Americans
C.Americans' hospitality
D.Americans' and Chinese's views of friendships

【答案】
（1）B
（2）D
（3）C
（4）D
（5）D
【解析】本文在談?wù)撝袊兔绹鴮τ颜x的觀點(diǎn)不同。美國是一個(gè)流動的社會。美國人之間的友誼可能密切真實(shí)，然而如果情況變化，也會很快消失。任何一方都不覺得受傷害。雙方可能在一年或兩年交換圣誕問候，也許通信一陣子之后就沒有了。如果同樣兩個(gè)人有再次見面的機(jī)會，甚至幾年后，他們會重拾他們的友誼。這可能對中國人來說是非常難理解，因?yàn)槲覀冎g的友誼發(fā)展得慢但后來可能成為終身的感情。

（1）B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand可知，作者是一個(gè)中國人。故選B。

（2）D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中If the same two people meet again by chance，even years later，they pick up the friendship.可知，同樣兩個(gè)人甚至數(shù)年后有機(jī)會再見面，他們還會重拾他們的友誼，故選D。

（3）C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從最后兩段可知，當(dāng)我們?nèi)ッ绹菰L我們的朋友時(shí)，我們很有可能在他家受到款待，故選C。

（4）D 詞義猜測題。generous with our time表示“對時(shí)間慷慨”，也就是樂意花費(fèi)時(shí)間，故選D。

（5）D 標(biāo)題歸納題。本文在談?wù)撝袊兔绹鴮τ颜x的觀點(diǎn)不同，故選D。

【題目】閱讀理解
You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world's temperature. But, rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤離) of an island nation — the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.
During the 20th century, sea level has risen 8～12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country's drinking water.
Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.
Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their green house gas emissions (排放), which are a main cause of global warming.“By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,” Laupepa told the BBC.
Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.
Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影響的) to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311 000 an“endangered nation”.
（1）The text is mainly about___________.
A.rapid changes in earth's temperature?
B.bad effects of global warming
C.moving of a country to a new place
D.reasons for lowland flooding
（2）According to scientists, the DIRECT cause of more and fiercer storms is __________.
A.greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nations
B.higher surface water temperatures of the sea
C.continuous global warming
D.rising sea levels
（3）Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not _________.
A.agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions
B.sign an agreement with Tuvalu
C.allow Tuvaluans to move to the US
D.believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real
（4）The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is _________.
A.Australia
B.New Zealand
C.the Maldives
D.the United States

I have just got some good news to tell to you. I win a national prize for painting last week. My father was so pleasing that he suggested I go to England for a holiday.
