第三部分 閱讀理解（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）

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 develop 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 treat 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 for our foreign friends. 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 out of the airport and go to our own hotel by bus. And they also expect that we will phone them from the hotel. Once we arrive at their homes， the welcome will be full， warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.

For 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！

51. The writer of this passage is a（n） ____ .

A. American B. Chinese C. visitor D. foreigner

52. Which of the following statements is TRUE？

A. Friendships between Americans usually last for long.

B. Americans always show their warmth even though they are very busy.

C. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.

D. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.

53. When we 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

54. The underlined words “generous with our time” probably mean “____ .”

A. strict about time B. serious about time C. careful with time D. willing to spend time

55. What is the best title of this passage？

A. Friendships between Chinese B. Friendships between Americans

C. Americans Hospitality D. Americans and Chineses Views of Friendships

第四部分 寫作（共三節(jié)，滿分50分）

第一節(jié) 閱讀表達（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）

閱讀下面短文，并按照題目要求用英語回答問題。

The other day， my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was 7：30 p.m.. Jane went to the party with her husband， David， expecting a merry evening of wine， food， and song.

By 9：45 p.m.， everybody was having great fun， but no food appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they were too hungry. But no one wanted to leave， just in case some food was about to appear. By 11：00 p.m.， there was still no food， and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left， hungry and angry.

Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6：30—8：30 p.m. means drinking only， going out to dinner afterwards； 8：00 p.m. means possible dinner， but 9：30 p.m. and any time thereafter means no food.

But this is not always the case. If asked to a students party at 6：30p.m.， it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight. Being the first to arrive—looking eager—is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6：30 p.m.， she likes to be there， if not on time， no later than 7：00. My age group （late thirties） falls somewhere between the two， but because we still think were young， were probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.

The accepted custom at present is puzzling， sometimes annoying， and it often means you may go home hungry， but it does give every party precious element of surprise.

56. When did the birthday party Jane attended begin？ （no more than 3 words）

57. How did Jane and David feel when they left the party？ （no more than 3 words）

58. Why did Jane and David go home hungry？ （no more than 9 words）

59. What is considered as social death at a students party？ （no more than 5 words）

60. When would you arrive for a party for 6：30p.m. if you were in late thirties？ （no more than 6 words）
