Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. 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 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!29The writer of this passage must be _.Aan American Ba ChineseCa professor Da student30When we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be _.Awarmly welcomed at the airport Boffered a ride to his home Ctreated hospitably at his home Dtreated to dinner in a restaurant31The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean _. Astrict with time Bserious with timeCcareful with time Dwilling to spend time32A suitable title for this passage would probably be “_”. AFriendships between Chinese BFriendships between AmericansCAmericans hospitality DAmericans and Chineses views of friendshipsDOne animal which is still alive, but has almost disappeared from the world, is the Chinese river dolphin or baiji.The baiji is a beautiful animal with a graceful body and a long nose. It is blue-grey with a white underside, weighs between 100 and 160 kilogrammes , and can grow up to eight feet long. It lives in the middle and lower parts of the Yangtze River. Most dolphins live in the sea so the baiji is very unusual. It is one of only five kinds of river dolphins in the world.In the past , there were many stories about the baiji. One story said that the dolphin was really a beautiful princess who had drowned in the river .Another said it was a kind of horse that could gallop(急速行进) across water, carrying God on its back.Sadly, the situation today is very different.Many millions of people live in the Yangtze River Basin and the river is busy, noisy and polluted. The baiji is almost blind and moves around using sounds. With so many boats and people using the river, the animals cannot find their way around. They are unable to find food, or find each other. Year by year, the number of baiji in the river becomes smaller and smaller.A lot of work is being done to help the baiji. One section of the river has been made into a kind of nature park, where the bajij can be safe. Fishermen work together with scientists and tell them when they see a bajij, or if they find an injured one. Injured animals are taken to a research center and nursed back to be healthy. However , in spite of these measures , scientists estimate(估计) that the mumber of the bajij still alive in the river may be less than 100. If things continue as they are, the lovely creature will disappear in the next 25 years.33Which description about the baiji is WRONG ?AIt has already died out from the world. BIt is blue-grey with a white underside.CIt lives in the middle and lower parts of the Yangtze River.DIt is one of only 5 kinds of river dolphins in the world.34The reasons why the baiji is disappearing are the following EXCEPT .Amany millions of people live in the Yangtze River Basin , making there noisy and pollutedBthe baiji is blind because of the pollution and cant find the way around Cthe boats and people are noisy , making the animals cannot find their way around by soundsDthey are unable to find food or find each other by sounds since the river is noisy35What can we learn from the passage ?APeople like to live in the Yangtze River Basin with animals swimming in the river.BThe animals dying out are being hunted by human beings.CPeople can take some measures to save the animals dying out.DThere are more bajij living in a nature park now.第二节（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。If you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on. Often achieving what you plan to do isnt the important thing. 36 Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. While they were working, a few older boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” one of the brothers volunteered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and a wide variety of insects. 37 Then he said quietly and confidently, “Even if we dont” 38 And that is what a goal is for to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen, in other words, to have us digging!But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every relationship will endure. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. 39 So when you fail to reach your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something !” It is in the digging that life is lived. 40 AAnd I believe in the end it is joy in the journey that truly matters. BHe opened the jar and showed the wonderful things contained in it to the laughing visitors.CHere are some reasons for you.DNot every dream will come true.ELet me explain.FTheir goal was far too high, but it did cause them to dig.GHe broke the jar into pieces.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。There was a king who loved art very much.
