different state, from a job in one region to a better job elsewhere, from the home where we raise our children to the home where we plan to live in retirement. with each move we are forever making new friends, who become part of our new life at that time.for many of us summer is a special time for forming new friendships. today millions of americans vacation abroad, and they go not only to see new sights but also with the hope of meeting new people. no one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend, but the beginning of a friendship is possible. the word “friend ” can be applied to a wide range of relationships - to someone one has known for a few weeks in a new place, to a fellow worker, to a childhood playmate, to a man or woman, to a trusted confidant. 56. many americans move from place to place for the following reasons except_.a. going to college b. getting a better jobc. saving money d. finding a place to live in retirement57. summer is a special time when many americans_. a. enjoy the sunlight b. feel strange c. get a new job d. travel to other countries58. when summer comes, many americans _. a. expect to find some close friends b. hope to meet new people c. want to begin lasting friendships with new people d. both a and b59. which of the following is the topic sentence of the second paragraph?a. today millions of americans vacation abroad.b. for many of us summer is a special time for forming new friendships.c. no one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friendship.d. but surely the beginning of friendship is possible.b work is a part of livingmy grandparents understood that. they lived and worked on a farm that has been in my family for 150 years. they raised chickens for eggs, pigs and cattle for meat. cows were kept for milk and the cream, from which grandma made butter and cheese. what little yard they had became a garden.the depression, therefore, didnt make much change in their lives. but it did bring an unending flow of men out of work, drifting from job to job, to the farm. the first to show up at the door of the kitchen was a man in rags. he took off his hat and quietly explained that he hadnt eaten for a while. grandpa stood watching him a bit , then said , “theres a stack of firewood against the fence behind the barn (谷仓). ive been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence. you have just about enough time to finish the job before lunch.”grandma said a surprising thing happened. the man got a shine in his eyes and he hurried to the barn at once. she set another place at the table and made an apple pie. during lunch, the stranger didnt say much, but when he left, his shoulders had straightened. “nothing ruins a man like losing his self-respect,” grandpa later told me.soon after, another man showed up asking for a meal. this one was dressed in a suit and carried a small old suitcase. grandpa came out when he heard voices. he looked at the man and then offered a handshake.” there is a stack of firewood along the fence down behind the barn ive been meaning to get it moved. itd sure be a help to me. and wed be pleased to have you stay for lunch.” the fellow set his suitcase aside and neatly laid his coat on top. then he set off to work.grandma says she doesnt remember how many strangers they shared a meal with during those depression daysor how many times that stack of wood got moved.60. when he was asked to move a stack of firewood, the first man who asked for a meal got a shine in his eyes for he was glad that . a. he had found a good job b. he would have something to eat c. he would no longer suffer from the depressiond. he would get what he wanted without losing his self-respect 61. the writers grandfather asked those jobless men to move the stack of firewood because .a. he didnt want them to have a meal free of charge b. he had been needing to get it moved c. he wanted to show them his kindnessd. he wanted to help them in his own way62. the writers grandfather was all of the following but .a. thoughtful b. kind c wealthy.d. sympathetic63. the best title for the story would be . a. worka part of livingb. no pains, no gainsc. the depression d. the pleasure of farming cmost subway accidents result from slips, trips, and falls on stairways when someone is in a rush. the best safety advice we can give you is: slow down when you are on the stairs, and hold the handrail(扶手). some trains are shorter (that means they have fewer cars) when its not the rush hour because there are fewer passengers using the subway. some short trains operate without a conductor. on those trains, the train operator opens and closes the doors, makes station announcements and helps customers, if needed. at most stations, there are signs that read: during off-hours, trains stop here. if you stand near the center of the platform near the sign, you wont have to rush when the train arrives. while youre waiting, please stand behind the yellow protective strip, away from the platform edge. no matter what situation arises, keep off the tracks. tracks contain 600 volts of live electricity. if you drop something on the tracks, go to the station announcer room and tell the agent. boarding between subway cars may seem like a time-saver, but it is highly dangerous. its also dangerous to try to keep subway doors from closing when you are entering or exiting the train. they are not like elevator doors and will not reopen automatically. in addition, make sure that pocketbooks, clothing, packages, umbrellas and other personal items are clear of the closing doors. when youre inside a moving train, never run between cars or lean against doors. when you are standing, always hold on. 64. which of the following is the best title for the passage? _a. boarding subway cars b. subway safetyc. waiting for subway cars d. safety on the platform65. the underlined part in the second paragraph probably means _.a. the train usually stops here when passengers are off work b. the train usually stops here during the usual hours of workc. the train usually stops here if it arrives at the station earlierd. the train stops here when there arent too many passengers66. which of the following statements is true according to the passage? _.a. there are usually no conductors on some short trains in rush hours. b. you should stand on the platform edge when waiting for the train. c. you can have a rest leaning against the door when the train stops. d. the door should be kept open when you get on the train. d in only two decades asian americans have become the fastest growing u. s. minority. as their children began moving up through the nation schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. their achievements are reflected in the nations best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly asian character. this special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that asian-american students who began their education abroad arrived in the u. s. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of english. they are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. and the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.most asian-american students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the american educational system has to offer. an effective measure of parental attention is homework. asian parents spend more time with their children than american parents do, and it helps. many researchers also believe there is something in asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.both explanations for academic success worry asian americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. many can remember when chinese, japanese and filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation. indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all asian immigrants the right to citizenship.67. while making tremendous achievements at college, asian-american students .a. feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of englishb. are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong asian characterc. generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parentsd. still worry about unfair treatment in society68. what are the major factors that determine the success of asian americans?a. hard work and intelligence.b. a solid foundation in basic mathematics and asian culture.c. parents help and a limited knowledge of english.d. asian culture and the american educational system.69. few asian american students major in human sciences mainly because .a they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areas b. their english is not good enoughc. there is a wide difference between asian and western culturesd. they know little about american culture and society70. why do “both explanations” (para. 3) worry asian americans?a.people will think that asian students only rely on their parents for success.b they are afraid they will again be isolated from american society in general.c. asian americans will be a threat to other minorities.d.american academic achievements have taken on too strong an asian character.第二节
