To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American. There are, of course, exceptions. Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US. Yet Americans friendliness and helpfulness is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment.For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence. Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of distraction, and brought news of the outside worldThe tough realities of the border also shaped this tradition of hospitality. Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest settler agent. It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or only a charitable impulse (冲动） on the part of the settlers. It reflected the hardship of daily life: if you didnt take in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one else who would. And someday, remember, you might be in the same situationToday there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the exhausted traveler. Yet, the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US, especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist routes. "I was just traveling through, got talking with this American, and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner, amazing." Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon, but are not always understood properly. The casual friendliness of many Americans should be understood neither as superficial（表面的）nor as artificial（虚伪的）, but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition.As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals and customs is the basis of all social inter-relationships. And, of course, speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns. Visitors who fail to "translate" cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. For example when an American uses the word "friend", the cultural meanings of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitors language and culture. It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to tell polite customs from individual interest. Yet, being friendly is a virtue （美德） that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.24In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, _Arude taxi drivers are hardly seen in the USBsmall-minded officials deserve a serious commentCCanadians are not so friendly as their neighborsDmost Americans are ready to offer help25We can know from the last paragraph that _Aculture has an influence over social inter-relationshipBpolite customs and individual interest are inter-relatedCvarious virtues shows themselves only among friendsDsocial inter-relationships equal the complex set of cultural customs26Families who lived far from one another used to entertain strangers _Ato improve their hard life Bin view of their long-distance travelCto add some taste to their own daily life Dout of a charitable impulse27The tradition of hospitality to strangers _Atends to be superficial and artificial Bis generally well kept up in the United StatesCis always understood properly Dhas something to do with the busy tourist routeCA biologist once criticized for stealing eggs from the nests of the rarest bird in the world has been awarded the “Nobel Prize” of conservation after his methods saved nine species from extinction.Professor Carl Jones won the 2016 Indianapolis Prize - the highest accolade in the field of animal conservation - for his 40 years of work in Mauritius, where he saved an endangered kestrel（红隼） from becoming the next Great Auk.When the 61-year-old first travelled to the east African island in the 1970s, he was told to close down a project to save the Mauritius kestrel. At the time there were just four left in the wild, making it the rarest bird on Earth. However, he stayed, using the techniques of captive breeding (人工繁殖), which involved snatching eggs from the birds nests and hatching them under incubators（孵化器）, prompting the mothers to lay another set of eggs in the wild.A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild. The biologist has also been necessary in efforts to bring other rare species back from the edge of extinction, including the pink pigeon, echo parakeet and Rodriguez warbler.Prof Jones was awarded the $250,000 (172,000) prize at a ceremony in London.“As a young man in my 20s, I certainly didnt enjoy the stress and the tension of the criticism I received,” reflecting on the start of his career, he said the Mauritius kestrel project had been seen as a “dead loss” at the time. In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques, with critics arguing that they were too risky and took the emphasis off breeding in the wild.Prof Jones has devoted his whole life to his work, only becoming a father for the first time eight years ago, at 53. He said receiving the prize was particularly important to him, because it proved that his work to save birds was right.28What does the underlined word “accolade” mean in Paragraph 2?AreturnBlevelChonorDresearch29According to the passage, Great Auk is _.Aan endangered birdBan extinct birdCa popular birdDa fierce bird30What can we know from the figures in Paragraph 4?ATaking eggs from the nests has worked well.BThe wild environment for kestrel has changed a lot.CKestrel has adapted to the life in the wild.DIts difficult to protect kestrel.31Prof Jones idea of taking eggs from the birds nests _.Awas proved of no useBwas widely acceptedCwas promoted officiallyDwas criticized by some peopleDScientists and marine biologists(海洋生物学家) had something to celebrate last week when two lost humpback whales(座头鲸) returned to the Pacific Ocean. Delta and Dawn a mother and a baby had circled the Sacramento Bay area for two weeks before going back to the ocean.We all shouted loudly like Yay!said Jim Oswald, a spokesman for the Marine Mammal Center. Its been really exciting.The humpback whales were last spotted on May 29 near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California. Scientists are sure that the whales swam into open water during the evening of May 29 or early the next morning, since there have been no further sightings of the whales. Even so, boats were sent out to look for them, just in case the whales made another wrong turn.Officials spent two weeks trying to get the whales to turn back towards the ocean. Biologists played recordings of whale-feeding as well as unfamiliar sounds to try to make the whales head back to the Pacific Ocean.However, Delta and Dawn gave scientists an unexpected chance to study humpback whales in the wild. Scientists were able to gather sound recordings and watch their behaviors. This is especially exciting because humpback whales are an endangered species. Whats more, scientists dont usually have the chance to observe (观察) them in their natural habitat.All those things are very hard to get, said Oswald,So what we are doing is filling up the knowledge blank on humpback whales in the wild. Scientists should be able to use this information to help other lost whales in the future.32Jim Oswald was very happy because_.Athe whales traveled to Sacramento BayBhe found the lost humpback whalesCthe scientists held a great celebrationDthe whales returned to the Golden Gate Bridge33In order to make the whales go back to the ocean, the biologists_.Afed them with other animals Bswam into open waterCplayed music for them Dplayed strange sounds to them34The fifth paragraph mainly tells us that_.Ahumpback whales will disappear in the futureBhumpback whales were excited in their natural habitatCscientists learned more about humpback whalesDscientists are worried about humpback whales35Whats the best title for the passage?ALooking for the Lost Whales BHelping the Lost WhalesCThe Lost Whales Returned DTwo Whales Were Lost第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Teachers love to put students into teams. 36_ Why?
