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 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 don’t 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!
4. The writer of this passage must be ______.
A an American B. a Chinese C. a professor D. a student
5. 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 home
C. treated friendly at his home D. treated to dinner in a restaurant
6. 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 time
7. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.
A. Friendships between Chinese B. Friendships between Americans
C. Americans’ hospitality D. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是议论文。文章论述了中国人和美国人对待友谊的不同观点和方式。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand”，其中“us Chinese”表明作者是一名中国人。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。文章第三段中提到“The Americans…express their welcome usually at homes,”和“We will find ourselves treated hospitably”；最后一段中提到“So accept their hospitality at home!”。由此可知，当我们到美国访问一位美国朋友时，我们可能会在美国朋友的家里受到热情款待。故选C项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词前一句提到“although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country（尽管美国人在他们的日常生活中热情地对待我们，但如果需要花费大量的时间，他们就不会表现出他们的礼貌。这通常与我们国家的做法相反）”。由此可以猜测，“generous with our time”意思为“在时间上很慷慨，愿意付出很多时间”。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，文章第一段中提到“This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand”，美国人对待友情的方式让中国人难以理解；第三段首句提到“Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand…”，另外一点中国人难以理解的是美国在对待朋友上，如果需要花很多时间，他们就不会表现出礼貌。由此可知，文章说明了美国人和中国人对友谊方面的不同观点和做法。文章标题应为“美国人和中国人对友谊的不同观点”。故选D项。
C
Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions Gone was my father’s critical (挑别的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around What had held him back before
The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

A. the cafe owner B. the author’s son
C. the author’s father D. the friend of the author’s father
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者的父亲以前对她期望很高，多年后作者去父亲的新家拜访，作者发现父亲变得温和和友好多了，作者喜欢这个“新朋友”。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“He seemed unhappy with me unless got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was.（他似乎对我很不高兴，除非我的成绩全是A，如果我的男朋友的父亲没有他那么“成功”，他也不高兴。）”可知，作者的父亲在作者得全A的时候才会高兴，因此作者对年轻时的父亲感到痛苦，因为他对她期望太高了。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.（每当我和他在周末出去的时候，我总是绞尽脑汁想说些什么，感觉很警惕。）”可知，当作者和父亲周末外出时，她会感到紧张，故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions Gone was my father’s critical (挑别的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around （那天下午，我们聊天、购物、在街边的桌子上吃饭，看着儿子滑稽的面部表情哈哈大笑。父亲挑剔的样子和严格的规矩都消失了。我认识的这个人是我的父亲，他在我身边显得那么友好和有趣，他是谁 ）”可知，在她去过Tucson后，作者认为她的父亲温柔而友好，故选C。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段的“After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. （这么多年后，我终于看到了父亲的另一面。）”可知，作者终于看到了父亲的另一面，因此这时的父亲对于作者来说是新的朋友，因此划线词“my new friend ”指的是作者的父亲，故选C。
D
Did you ever have to say “no” to somebody Such as a classmate who asks to go to lunch with you New research suggests that, at least socially, a rejection (拒绝) should not include an apology. In other words, saying you are sorry does not make the person being rejected feel any better. In fact, it might make the rejected person feel worse. That is surprising. Many people consider it to be good manners to say they are sorry when they turn down a request.
Gili Freedman is doing some related research at Dartmouth College. For her research, she asked over 1,000 people to respond to different examples of social rejection. In one example, the researchers asked people for their reaction (反应）after a person named Taylor asked to join a co-worker who went out to lunch every Friday. And Taylor was told “no”. But in some cases, the person rejecting Taylor offered an apology. In other cases, the people doing the rejection did not say they were sorry. People were asked how they would feel if they were being turned down, just as Taylor was. Most said they would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology than a rejection without an apology.
Freedman said the reason is that apologies make people feel like they need to say that the rejection was okay— even when they felt like it was not okay. Rejection without an apology lets them express their feelings of disappointment, hurt or anger more easily. Freedman also said that an apology often makes the person doing the rejection feel better—even as it makes the person being rejected feel worse.
Her research deals only with social communication. A business situation might be very different. “If a manager rejects a job interviewee or a boss must tell an employee that he or she is being fired from a job,” Freedman said, “reactions to apologies may be different.”
12. Why do people say they are sorry when they express rejection
A. Because they think it is more polite.
B. Because they think it helps them express their dislike better.
C. Because they think apologies are the basis of communication.
D. Because they think it sounds more comfortable for the listener.
13. In Gili Freedman’s research, over 1,000 people ________.
A. rejected others without an apology
B. offered an apology when rejecting others
C. would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology
D. were asked to answer the question in different situations
14. What role does an apology play in rejection
A. It makes the rejection more acceptable.
B. It makes a good impression on the listener.
C. It makes the communication more pleasant.
D. It makes the person doing the rejecting feel better.
15. What will be mentioned next according to the last paragraph
A. The effect of an apology during a rejection.
B. Gili Freedman’s research on business situations.
C. A rejection with an apology in a business situation.
D. The difference between a social situation and a business one.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章在开头通过问题：你有没有遇到过必须对某人说不 比如有个同学约你一起吃饭？引出研究结论：新的研究表明，至少在社交方面，拒绝的时候不用夹带一句道歉。换句话说，说句对不起并不能让被拒绝的人感觉更好受点。事实上这可能会使被拒绝者感觉更糟。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。结合文章第一段最后一句：Many people consider it to be good manners to say they are sorry when they turn down a request.（很多人认为在拒绝某个请求时表示抱歉是有礼貌。）故：选择A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。结合第二段第二句：For her research, she asked over 1,000 people to respond to different examples of social rejection. （在她的研究中，她询问了1000多人，来回应不同的社会排斥的例子。）可知，选项D和文章意思一致。第二段第五句：in some cases, the person rejecting Taylor offered an apology.（在一些情况下，拒绝泰勒的人说对不起）可知B项是错误；第二段第六句：In other cases, the people doing the rejection did not say they were sorry.（在其他情况下，拒绝的人并没有说对不起。）可知，选项A错误。第二段最后两句：People were asked how they would feel if they were being turned down, just as Taylor was. Most said they would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology than a rejection without an apology.（人们被问到，如果他们像泰勒一样被拒绝，他们会有什么感觉？大多数表示，与拒绝不道歉相比，他们会被拒绝加道歉伤得更深。）可知，选项C错误。故：选择D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。结合文章倒数第二段的最后一句：Freedman also said that an apology often makes the person doing the rejection feel better—even as it makes the person being rejected feel worse.（弗雷曼还表示，道歉通常让拒绝者感觉更好过，即使这会让被拒绝者感觉更糟。）可知，选项D：这会让拒绝的人感觉更好。和文章的意义一致。故：选择D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。结合最后一段的表达：Her research deals only with social communication. A business situation might be very different. “If a manager rejects a job interviewee or a boss must tell an employee that he or she is being fired from a job,” Freedman said, “reactions to apologies may be different.”（她的研究只涉及社交互动。商务场合可能会有很大不同。弗雷曼表示，如果一位经理拒绝一位求职者，或是一位老板必须要开除一名员工，对道歉的反应可能会有所不同。）可以推断出，在接下来的表达中将会涉及商务场合。故：选择C项。

【46题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：突然，我觉得我不想离开我的家乡，因为我在那里长大，对这个熟悉的地方有美好的回忆。want to do sth“想要干某事”是固定短语，动词不定式作宾语，符合句意。故填to leave。
【47题详解】

Dear Tom,
I am very exciting to hear that you are coming to our school soon. Now let me to introduce our school to you. Our school is a famous school with long history. We have many experienced teacher and excellent equipment. There were two teaching buildings. One is for seniors and the others is for juniors. There have two lab buildings and a library. The teaching method in my Senior High school is nothing like those of the teachers at my Junior High school .The students can choose that they like to study. We love our school. I am looking forward to meet you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】1.exciting→excited
2. 去掉introduce前的to
3. long前加a
4. teacher→teachers
5. were→are
6. others→other
7. have→are
8. those→that
9. that→what
10. meet→meeting
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇应用文。作者得知朋友Tom要来自己的学校，写信向他介绍了学校的基本情况。
【详解】1. 考查形容词。句意：听到你马上要来我们学校的消息我很激动。这里作表语修饰人，应使用excited表示“激动的，兴奋的”。故将exciting改为excited。
2. 考查非谓语动词。句意：现在让我把我的学校介绍给你吧。let是使役动词，introduce作为其宾补要用动词原形，不需要to。故去掉introduce前的to。
3. 考查冠词。句意：我们的学校是一座历史悠久的名校。这里history搭配long要表达“一段很长的历史”，是可数名词，其前要用不定冠词，且long为辅音音素开头，应使用a。故在long前加a。
4. 考查名词复数。句意：我们有着许多经验丰富的老师和优良的器材。可数名词teacher前有表复数概念的many修饰，要用复数形式。故将teacher改为teachers。
5. 考查时态。句意：有两座教学楼。文章是对学校情况的介绍，整体使用一般现在时，这句也不应例外，在there be句型里，be动词应和two teaching buildings数一致，要用are。故将were改为are。
6. 考查代词。句意：一个是高中的，另一个就是我们初中的。分析句子可知，这里表达的是两个教学楼中的另一个，应使用the other搭配one。故将others改为other。
7. 考查固定句型。句意：有两座实验楼和一个图书馆。这里应使用there be句型表示“某地有某物”，其中be动词与two lab buildings and a library的数一致，要用are。故将have改为are。
8. 考查代词。句意：我们高中教学方法一点都不像我们初中老师们的教学方法。由句意推知，这里是在对比初中和高中的教学方法，代词指代的是teaching method，为单数名词，应使用that来指代。故将those改为that。
9. 考查名词性从句。句意：学生们可以选择喜欢的科目。分析句子可知，that前句缺少宾语，后句缺少宾语，考虑宾语从句，表达“（他们喜欢的）东西”应使用what作为连接词。故将that改为what。
10. 考查非谓语动词。句意：我期待着早点见到你。短语look forward to中to为介词，其后接动词时要用动名词形式。故将meet改为meeting。

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 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 don’t 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!
4. The writer of this passage must be ______.
A. an American B. a Chinese C. a professor D. a student
5. 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 home
C. treated friendly at his home D. treated to dinner in a restaurant
6. 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 time
7. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.
A. Friendships between Chinese B. Friendships between Americans
C. Americans’ hospitality D. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships
C
Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions Gone was my father’s critical (挑别的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around What had held him back before
The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
8. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult
A. He did not love his children.
B. He expected too much of her.
C. He was too proud of himself.
D. He was silent most of the time.
9. When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel ________.
A. nervous B. sorry
C. tired D. safe
10. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson
A. More critical. B. More talkative.
C. Gentle and friendly. D. Strict and hard-working.
11. The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to ________.

Did you ever have to say “no” to somebody Such as a classmate who asks to go to lunch with you New research suggests that, at least socially, a rejection (拒绝) should not include an apology. In other words, saying you are sorry does not make the person being rejected feel any better. In fact, it might make the rejected person feel worse. That is surprising. Many people consider it to be good manners to say they are sorry when they turn down a request.
Gili Freedman is doing some related research at Dartmouth College. For her research, she asked over 1,000 people to respond to different examples of social rejection. In one example, the researchers asked people for their reaction (反应）after a person named Taylor asked to join a co-worker who went out to lunch every Friday. And Taylor was told “no”. But in some cases, the person rejecting Taylor offered an apology. In other cases, the people doing the rejection did not say they were sorry. People were asked how they would feel if they were being turned down, just as Taylor was. Most said they would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology than a rejection without an apology.
Freedman said the reason is that apologies make people feel like they need to say that the rejection was okay— even when they felt like it was not okay. Rejection without an apology lets them express their feelings of disappointment, hurt or anger more easily. Freedman also said that an apology often makes the person doing the rejection feel better—even as it makes the person being rejected feel worse.
Her research deals only with social communication. A business situation might be very different. “If a manager rejects a job interviewee or a boss must tell an employee that he or she is being fired from a job,” Freedman said, “reactions to apologies may be different.”
12. Why do people say they are sorry when they express rejection
A. Because they think it is more polite.
B. Because they think it helps them express their dislike better.
C. Because they think apologies are the basis of communication.
D. Because they think it sounds more comfortable for the listener.
13. In Gili Freedman’s research, over 1,000 people ________.
A. rejected others without an apology
B. offered an apology when rejecting others
C. would be more hurt by a rejection with an apology
D. were asked to answer the question in different situations
14. What role does an apology play in rejection
A. It makes the rejection more acceptable.
B. It makes a good impression on the listener.
C. It makes the communication more pleasant.
D. It makes the person doing the rejecting feel better.
15. What will be mentioned next according to the last paragraph
A. The effect of an apology during a rejection.
B. Gili Freedman’s research on business situations.
C. A rejection with an apology in a business situation.
D. The difference between a social situation and a business one.
