I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didnt understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk. Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things. Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girls test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadnt talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.26. The story took place exactly _ .

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 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!31.

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 homeC. treated hospitably at his home D. treated to dinner in a restaurant34. The underlined words “generous with our time in Paragraph 3 probably mean _. A. strict with time B. serious with timeC. careful with time D. willing to spend time35. 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 friendships C Susan Sontag (1933 - ) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything- to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture. Seriousness was one of Sontags lifelong watchwords (格言), but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poorly-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In Notes Camp, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. Notes on Camp, she wrote, represents “a victory of form over content, beauty over morals. By conviction she was a sensualist (感觉论者), but by nature she was a moralist, and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor -published in 1978, after she suffered cancer - she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed (被压抑的) personalities, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit. In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in . But it was as a tireless, all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame. “Sometimes, she once said, “I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness. And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.36. It is implied but not stated in the first paragraph that Sontag _. A. was a symbol of American cultural life B. developed world literature, film and art C. published many essays about world culture D. kept pace with the newest development of world culture37. She first won her name through _. A. publishing essays in magazines like Partisan Review B. her story of a Polish actress C. her explanation of a set of difficult understandings D. her book Illness as Metaphor38. From the works Susan published in the 1970s and 1980s, we can learn that _. A. she was more of a moralist than a sensualist B. she was more of a sensualist than a moralist C. she believed repressed personalities mainly led to illness D. she would like to re-examine old positions39. According to the passage, Susan Sontag would agree to the ideas except _. A. We should try hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. B. Cancer can be defeated because it is a special problem of repressed personalities. C. Form should be over content, beauty should be over morals. D. We should defend the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.40. What is the passage mainly about? A. A lifelong watchword: seriousness B. Susan Sontag is the symbol of American culture C. How Susan Sontag became famous D. An introduction to Susan Sontag and her watchwordDMany cities have subways and underground public transportation to take locals and tourists alike rapidly around the cityHowever, theres something different about riding a London subwayIt may not look different, but the historical value of one of Englands most popular forms of transportation is enough to make riding the subway a must when visiting LondonWith a little under 300 different stations, the subway can take you almost anywhere you need to goRiding a London subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each otherIn fact, eye contact is avoided at all timesThats not rudenesspeople are just too busy to bother lookingBusy doing what, you ask?
