a. strangers kindness also makes a difference.b. without money you can do nothing.c. few people like to help others nowadays. d. a friend in need is a friend indeed.camerica 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 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 friendlier to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. so accept their hospitality at home!38. the writer of this passage must be _.a. an american b. a chinese c. a professor d. a student39. 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 homec. treated hospitably at his home d. treated to dinner in a restaurant40. 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 time41. a suitable title for this passage would probably be “_”. a. americans and chineses views of friendships b. friendships between americansc. americans hospitality d. friendships between chinesedin 1901, h. g. wells, an english writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. when the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon full of underground cities. they expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. in turn, “the moon people” expressed their surprise. “why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you dont even use your inner space?”h. g. wells could only imagine traveling to the moon. in 1909, human beings really did land on the moon. people today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. however, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. a growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.underground systems are already in place. many cities have underground car parks. in some cities, such as tokyo, seoul and montreal, there are large underground shopping areas “the channel”, a tunnel connecting england and france, is now complete.but what about underground cities? japans taisei corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “alice cities.” the designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping stations, and so on. a solar dome would cover the whole city.supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is good way to use the earths space. the surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens and wilderness. h. g. wellss “moon people” would agree. would you?42. the explorers in h. g. wellss story were surprised to find that “moon people” _.a. knew so much about the earthb. understand their languagec. lived in so many underground citiesd. were ahead of them in space technology43. what does the underlined word “it” (paragraph 2) refer to?a. discovering the moons inner space.b. using the earths inner space.c. meeting the “moon people” again. d. traveling to outer space.44. what sort of underground systems are already here with us?a. office, shopping areas, power stations.b. tunnels, car parks, shopping stations.c. gardens, car parks, power station.d. tunnels, gardens, offices.45. what would be the best title for the text?a. alice cities - cities of the future.b. space travel with h. g. wells.c. enjoy living underground.d. building up, not down.四、词汇运用（共l0小题；每小题l分，计l0分）根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词）46. there was a deep break in the above him.
