c和d)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑aamerica 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 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 dont 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 . in which part of a newspaper can this article be found? a. culture. b. news. c. story. d. travel. 37. 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.38. the underlined words “flower”(in line 5) probably means _. a. weakenb. develop c. stretch d. disappear39. from the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in america to visit an american friend, we will probably be_. a. treated hospitably at his homeb. offered a ride to his home c. warmly welcomed at the airportd. treated to dinner in a restaurantbif youre like most kids, youve probably made more than a few paper airplanes in your day. but how many kids can say their paper airplanes have been built life-size and then flown? at least one: 12-year-old arturo veldenegro of tucson, arizona, who won the pima air& space museums first annual great paper airplane project fly-off in march 2012.“ the purpose of the competition is to inspire and draw kids interest in science and flight,” says tim vimmerstedt, director of the museum.about 150 kids entered the competition. the young designers learned about how airplanes fly and then set to work designing their own planes. arturo designed and built his airplane. when hen was finished, he took his plane to the flight area and let it fly, outdistancing the other competitors in all age groups. at last, arturos airplane flew the farthest-more than 75 feet!as the winner, arturo got to meet with a team of engineers, which took his design and made a bigger one. the new paper airplane might have been the largest one ever built! arturo named his large paper airplane arturos desert eagle. later a helicopter tried to lift the paper airplane over the arizona desert, but it was unsuccessful. engineers worked for eight hours to repair it for a second try. this time, the helicopter managed to raise it to 2700 feet and then set the plane free. arturo watched as his plane flew through the sky at speeds of up to 98 miles per hour for 10 seconds before falling to pieces. “i felt happy but sad,” arturo says, “ it flew really well, but it was sad to see it destroyed.”but that wasnt the end of arturos desert eagle. the pima air & space museum collected the pieces of the broken plane and put them on show to inspire other young engineers to reach for the sky. 406. according to the text, the great paper airplane project fly-off competition _a. has been held many timesb. can only be entered by kidsc. is to choose the largest planed. is held by a team of designers41. the underlined word ”outdistancing” in para 4 means _a. looking for b. believing in c. throwing away d. leaving behind42. what do we know about the paper airplane arturo built?a. it flew the highestb. it flew for 20 minutes c. it flew more than 75 feetd. it took him eight hours to build43. in the end, arturos desert eagle _a. was made into a helicopterb. was produced in many placesc. was sold to a team of engineersd. was put on show in the museumcsomeday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites youve visited. or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling in fact, its likely some of these things have already happened to you. who would watch you without your permission? it might be a husband or wife, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seenthe 21st century equivalent (相等物) of being caught naked.psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that its important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. but few boundaries remain. the digital bread pieces you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. in some cases, a simple google search can reveal what you think. like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.thekeyquestionis:doesthatmatter? formanyamericans,theanswerapparentlyis“no.”when opinion polls ask americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. a survey found a serious depression about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.”but people say one thing and do another. only a tiny part of americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the ez-pass system that can track automobile movements. and few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. privacy economist alessanfro acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like social security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券).but privacy does matterat least sometimes. its like health: when you have it, you dont notice it. only when its gone do you wish youd done more to protect it.44. what would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?a. there should be a distance even between friends.b. friends should always be faithful to each other.c. friends should open their hearts to each other.d. there should be fewer disagreements between friends.45. why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret”?a. people leave tracks around when using modern technology.b. modern society has finally developed into an open society.c. there are always people who are curious about others affairs.d. many search engines profit by revealing peoples identities.46. what do most americans do about privacy protection?a. they change behaviors that might disclose their identity.b. they talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.c. they rely more and more on electronic devices.d. they use various loyalty cards for business deals.47. according to the passage, privacy is like health because _.a. people dont treasure it until they lose itb. its importance is rarely understoodc. it is something that can easily be lostd. people will make every effort to keep itdplant cloning has been an agricultural technique used by farmers and gardeners for centuries. grafting (嫁接) is a common form of plant cloning. many plants in nature actually clone themselves and reproduce asexually. cloned plants are much more predictable than normal plants, so their yield (产量) is more reliable. cloned plants also reproduce faster, limiting the amount of time between planting and harvesting. it is also often cheaper to produce seeds through cloning than through traditional methods. plants can essentially be optimized so that farmers or individual growers always have the best seeds available. with more yield at a faster rate, farms can produce more food for more people while decreasing overall costs. cloning can be used to wipe out diseases that previously killed off entire fields of crops. this would make plants immune (免疫的) to the kinds of diseases that farmers and gardeners around the world fear each year. crop failures due to disease and virus could become a thing of the past. also, plants that are near extinction can be brought back to life through cloning. through cloning scientists can develop “super” fruits and vegetables of superior nutritional quality. this could make for a healthier population overall. this is already being done through selective pollination (授粉), and genetic cloning could take it to the next level. by plant cloning we have a population of identical plants and all these plants equally suffer from the same diseases, but in nature the weak would die and the strong would survive. while there are some dangers to consider with plant cloning, there are plenty of benefits that could prove vital to the propagation (繁衍) of the human species.48. the underlined word “optimized” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “ ”.a. enlargedb. producedc. perfectedd. examined49. according to the text, cloned plants .a. have lower yield than normal plantsb. need little care from peoplec. resist various kinds of diseases d. have a short growth cycle50. what can we infer from the text?a. the fruits produced by cloned plants taste much better.b. there are more cloned plants than normal plants.c. plant cloning can disturb the laws of nature.d. people should avoid eating cloned fruits.评卷人得分四、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。_51_ it is a very happy day for many boys and girls. before the term ends in some schools, the children act a nativity
