The expression has two meanings. First, America is a country _26_ automobiles. Almost everyone has a car of his own. _27_ they go they always drives there. Second, American people like to move from place to place. In some states only one house in five has people living in it for more than five years. In other words,_28_ people in five are moving constantly from one place to another, only one family _29_ where they are for over five years. In fact, the early American Pioneers used to be in constant movement. As early as 200 years ago, the U.S.A. was only a small part in the northeast of the continent, which was known as New England. The much bigger part, the central and _30_ part of the continent was wild and unknown. So early Americans began moving westwards, _31_ the purpose of making a better life there. Today there is a movement, short or long, in every _32_. Why do American people travel so _33_? There are several reasons. Some leave their homes because they have_34_their jobs, they want to look for new jobs in other parts of the country. Others go to better jobs, they _35_ newspapers or advertisements in the publication that a certain job is waiting for them. Most college graduates have studied far away from home. They move to look for suitable jobs for themselves.Some American _36_ dont live in the same area of the country. For example, Mr. Smith works in Boston, Mrs. Smith teaches at Chicago University, their_37_ has just graduated from college and is now working for a certain company in Los Anglos. It is quite possible for them to travel from one place to another to have a family _38_. The good thing is , in the U.S.A. , it is very _39_ to travel by all means of transport. Besides, compared with China, the cost of transportation is much smaller. Because of the low cost of travel, a great majority of Americans like to spend their weekends or public holidays travelling _40_the country. Thats why we see the nation always on the move. 26. A. filled of B. crowded with C. full with D. in need of 27. A. Whenever B. Wherever C. However D. Whatever28. A. one B. two C. three D. four29. A. remain B. leave C. move D. drive30.

We had never seen the Earth from that distance before. To us, it appeared as though the Earth had always looked that way and always would. Scientists now know, however, that the surface of the Earth is not as permanent as we thought. Scientists explain that the surface of our planet is always moving. Continents moves about the Earth like huge ships at sea. They float on pieces of the Earths outer skin. New outer skin is created as melted rock pushed up from below the ocean floor. Old outer skin is destroyed as it rolls down into the hot area and melts again. Only since the 1960s have scientists really began to understand that the planet Earth is a great living machine. Some experts have said this new understanding is one of the most important revolutions in scientific thought. The revolution is based on the work of scientists who study the movement of the continentsa science called plate tectonics. The modern story of plate tectonics begins with the German scientist Alfred Wegener. Before World War One, Wegener argued that the continents had moved and were still moving. He said the idea first occurred to him when he observed that the coastlines of South America and Africa could fit together like two pieces of a puzzle. He proposed that the two continents might have been one and then split apart. Wegener was not the first person to wonder about the shape of the continents. About 500 years ago, explorers thought about it when they made the first maps of Americas. The explorers noted the east coast of North America and South America would fit almost exactly into the west coast of Europe and South Africa. What the explorers did not do, but Wegener did, was to investigate the idea that the continents move.41. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage？A. The first breath-taking pictures of the Earth taken from space.B. Humans recognition of the earths surface.C. The German scientist Alfred Wegener.D. The early explorers discovery.42. Which of the following is true according to the passage？A. We didnt see the Earth from far away until we saw the picture taken in the space.B. Our ancient thought that the surface of the earth is still.C. Alfred Wegener was not the first person to investigate the idea that the continents move.D. The coastline of India and Africa fit together.43. The last word of the third paragraph “tectonics” mean “_”.A. study of constructionB. study of architectureC. earth surfaceD. structural geology44. What did the explorers find？A. The coastlines of South America and Africa could fit together.B. The coastlines of North America and Africa could fit together.C. The east coastlines of North America and the west coast of Europe could fit together.D. The coastlines of North America and India could fit together.( B )In a time of low academic (学术的) achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed to give children a good start academically as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents. In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. 62 percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education. Like in America, there is diversity (多样性) in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential (潜力) development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the childrens chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.45. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe _.A. Japanese parents pay more attention to preschool education than American parentsB. Japans economic success is a result of its scientific achievementsC. Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instructionD. Japans higher education is better than theirs46. Most American respondents believe that preschools should also attach importance to _.A. problem solving B. group experienceC. parental guidance D. individually oriented development47. In Japans preschool education, the focus is on _.A. preparing children academically B. developing childrens artistic interestsC. tapping childrens potential D. shaping childrens character48. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?A. They can do better in their future studies.B. They can gain more group experience there.C. They can be individually oriented when they grow up.D. They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education.( C )A few years ago, I was going round a supermarket with a journalist who was researching an article on the carbon cost of food. We trailed up and down the aisles with the Dictaphone running, and she plied me with questions: What about these bananas? How about the cheese? Thats organic, so it must be better, right? Is the lettuce harmless? Should we have come here by bus? Though working as an environmental consultant (顾问), I was pitifully unable to answer most of her questions. And it struck me that this was part of a wider problem. Almost everything we do has a carbon footprint of some kind, but how do we know what it is? Should we avoid leaving our television sets on, or boycott plastic bags, or stop flying, or all of the above? The result of my consideration is a new book, How Bad Are Bananas?, which tries to bridge the gap(缺陷) in our knowledge of the way in which what we buy, and how we live, affects the world around us. And the good news is that its perfectly possible to cut our carbon emissions（排放）without taking the fun out of life if we are prepared to be creative and open-minded about a few of our worst habits. Calculating carbon footprints can be terribly complicated, but we dont need to make the figures too exact before we can start making sensible choices. Even quite a basic understanding can lead to surprising conclusions. For example, watching television usually turns out to be one of the lower-carbon activities. A single economy flight from London to Hong Kong and back has the footprint of about 300,000 plastic bags, or a quarter of a British citizens typical annual carbon footprint of 15 tons. A single red rose, grown out of season, is as bad as four and a half kilos of bananas, mostly because one has been grown out of doors and the other has been green-housed. Those numbers arent exact, but they are good enough to make us think hard about how to live a greener life.49. The journalist asked the author many questions about _.A. the prices of vegetablesB. the carbon cost of foodC. how to grow vegetables D. how to keep food fresh50. In the first two paragraphs, the author mainly _.A. tells us why he wrote his new bookB. shows us how he is interested in green foodC. explain what a carbon footprint isD. discusses the importance of energy saving51. What does the underlined word “one” mean? A. Carbon footprint B. Season C.The rose D. The banana（ D ）Sometimes people add to what they say even when they dont talk. Gestures are the “silent language” of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country, or we may be misunderstood.In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness of unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the others arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug.Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, “Pardon me” or “Excuse me”. Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you dont do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. But then you stare at someone, it is not polite.For Americans, Thumbs-up means yes, very good, or well done. Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger. Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and put them on the head when they admire them.52. From the first paragraph we can learn that _. A. gestures dont mean anything while talking B. gestures can hel
