27、wrote a story called Five Weeks in a Balloon. The success of this book encouraged him to write more stories such as A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864) and From the Earth to the Moon (1865).In the 19th century, many people were interested in science and inventions. Jules Verne wrote about sc

28、ientific subjects in his stories and, as a result, they were very popular. Vernes writing included many predictions (预言) for the 20th century and many of them came true. He described space flight, movies, and air conditioning, a long time before they appeared. These books were very successful and th

35、country, cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their place.“People are afraid to spend now,” said Linda Morrow, who owns a shoe and handbag store. “They dont know what the future will bring.” During the financial crisis (金融危机), several of the countrys biggest banks have been forced to se

36、ll or close. This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods. Samira Marino, a restaurant owner in Miami, has found everyone is ordering water instead of juice and more people are sharing meals. In more than two-dozen interviews with The Associated Press across the country last month,

37、Americans talked about their concerns, from worries about small businesses to doubts (怀疑) about simply making ends meet (维持生计). The crisis (危机)began last year. Experts think it was because US banks lend money too easily. Last year a lot of people and companies, who borrowed money, have found themsel

38、ves unable to pay it back. This left the banks, as well as the people who put their money in the banks, without money. Since the banks borrowed money between themselves and even across borders (国界), the whole world was in trouble. This month the US government agreed on a $700 billion plan to try to

39、save the financial market. But no one is sure whether it will help or not. President George W. Bush has warned it will take some time.

42、ys to make ends meetB. The money problem facing the worldC. Healthy fancy fruitsD. The art of borrowingPassage D America 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 gre

43、etings 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 lifelo

44、ng 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 un

45、derstand 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 ap

46、pear 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

47、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

48、 to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!56. The writer of this passage must be _.

49、?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.58. From the last

50、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 restaurant59. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Para

51、graph 3 probably mean _. A. strict with time B. serious with timeC. careful with time D. willing to spend time60. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “_”. A. Friendships between Chinese B. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans hospitality D. Americans and Chineses views of friend

52、shipsPassage EToday there are 6 billion people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion. This is a lot of people to feed. We need more food.One way to produce more food is by growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the

53、 best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic material （遗传物质）. Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified foods （转基因食品）, or GM foods.By changing the genetic material of a

54、plant, it is possible to make new plants. They make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice is being prepared （准备）, for example, which stops people from becoming blind.Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring i

55、n more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food.GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against them, because they are unnatural. They may feed people, then hurt them or their children later. But, both rich a
