The government ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s made enough laws to fight pollution. The cities in Australia have got little air or water pollution. The sky is blue and the water is clean. You can clearly see fish swimming in the rivers. Plants grow very well.
Last month, we visited ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Perth, the biggest city in Western Australia, and went to a wild flowers' exhibition. There we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before. We had a wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In spring every year Perth has the wild flowers' exhibition. After visiting Perth, we spent the day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.
Australia is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )famous for its sheep and kangaroos(袋鼠). After a short drive from any town, you will find yourself in the middle of white sheep. Sheep, sheep, everywhere are sheep.

B
American is a mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bile 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 r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eady 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 p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oint 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 their homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine (常规). 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 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 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 their homes!
5．The writer of this passage must be ________.
A. an American B. a Chinese
C. a professor D. a student
答案与解析：B 推理判断题。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )根据文章第二段及第三段Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.可知。
6．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Friendships betw ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )een Americans usually extend deeply into their family.
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 co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntinue their friendships again even after a long break.
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据文章第一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship.可知。
7．From the last two pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ragraphs 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 hospitably at his home
D. treated to dinner in a restaurant
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据文章 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第三段Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.可知。
8．From the underlin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed sentence, we can know the Chinese people ________.
A. are strict with time
B. don't take time seriously
C. don't know how to use time
D. are willing to spend time for friends
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据文章第三 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.可知中国人为了朋友可能要花费一些时间。
9．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 friendship

3．D 对很多同学来说收到家信是最幸福的时候。
4．B 下文出现mailbox，因此选letters。
5．A 此处表示转折。但是我的信箱里却没有信，因此用empty。
6．C 本题采用拟人手法。一张明信片正在看着我。
7．D 此处用现在分词作伴随状语。expect“期待”。
8．A 从后文看这张明信片与众不同，故此处用but表示转折。

Ⅴ.语法填空
Tony and I are good ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )friends. We tried to walk across the United States of America. We were not exactly sure __1__ we were doing it. Part of it was __2__ (test) ourselves；to see if we could face the challenges. When I was __3__ teenager I often daydreamed that I __4__ (walk) across the United States after I graduated from high school. __5__， I didn't do that. Before I knew it I was in my __6__ (thirty), married，had a job，yet still had this idea in my mind with each __7__ (pass) year. I figured I was too old and my opportunity had passed. Then, a few years ago, I met Tony, who was in his thirties and quit his job as a civil engineer in New York City to walk across the United States. He wasn't doing it for a cause __8__ as part of an organization. He was doing it __9__ (simple) because he loved to walk and discover. The idea was back and I no longer had an excuse. We planned on averaging 20 miles a day and taking some days off to rest, so we expected the walk to take about 6 months realizing it could take __10__ (long). We were in no hurry: The total distance would have been about 3,100 miles.
答案与解析：
1．why 考查宾语从句。句意：我 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )们不确定为什么我们要这么做。根据下文的“Part of it...to see...”可知，此处用why引导宾语从句。
2．to test 考查动词不定式 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。句意：部分原因是为了考验我们自己。动词不定式作表语，解释原因。下文的“to see”也为此空的填写提供了依据。
3．a 考查冠词。句意：当我还是一个少年时。不定冠词经常用于文章中第一次出现的名词前，意为“一个，某一个”。此处表示泛指，故用a。
4．would walk 考查时态。句意：我经常梦想在高中毕业之后，将徒步横穿美国。根据语境，此处表示过去的梦想，所以用过去将来时。
5．However 考查副词。句意：然而，我没有做到。根据上下文语境可知，此处表示转折，故用However。
6．thirties 考查固 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )定短语。句意：不知不觉我已经30多岁了，结了婚，有了工作。“in one's＋数词复数”表示“在某人……岁时”。下文中的“I met Tony, who was in his thirties and...”也为此空的填写提供了依据。
7．passing 考查现在分词 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )作定语。句意：然而在过去的每一年里，我心里都有这个想法。passing在此处用作不及物动词的现在分词，作定语修饰“year”并与其是逻辑上的主谓关系。
8．or 考查连词。句意：他并非因为 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )某个理由或者作为某个组织的一分子而为之。or多用于否定和疑问句中连接两个并列成分或并列句，意为“或者”。
9．simply 考查词性转换。句意：他做这件事仅仅是因为他喜欢行走和发现。此处用副词simply在句中作状语修饰后面的原因状语从句。
10．longer 考查形容词的比较 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )级。句意：所以我们预期这次徒步旅行将花费大约六个月的时候，并同时意识到可能要花费更长的时间。根据语境，此处表示需要更长时间，故用比较级。
