Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 48 America is a mobile society. Friendships between Ame
28、ricans can be close, constant, intense, generous, and real, yet fade away in a short time if circumstances shift. 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, e
29、ven years later, they pick up the friendship where it left off and are delighted. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us here in our country flower more slowly but then they may become lifelong attachments, with mutual obligations, extending sometime
30、s deeply into both families. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at homes, share their holidays, and their home life. We need not fear that we are taking on a lasting obligation and we should not hesitate to accept their hospitality because we cannot reciprocate (回报 ). Americans will not ex
31、pect us to do so for they know we are not from home. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality easily. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont demonstrate a hig
32、h degree of courtesy if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice here in our country where we may be unstintingly (毫不吝惜 ) generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, win appear at airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days of
33、f to act as guide to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, extend their welcome usually at homes, but truly cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by public transport. And
34、they assume 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. 49 Which of the following can summarize the feature of Americans friendship? （ A） Close but short. （ B） Casual but real. （ C） Sincere but
35、 stingy. （ D） Intense but rare. 50 Which of the following is not expected by Chinese friends? （ A） They expect standing friendship. （ B） Theyd like to establish good relationship between their two families, （ C） They expect their friends help in time of difficulty. （ D） They hope to receive hospital
36、ity from their friends although they couldnt return. 51 How do Americans treat their visitors at home? （ A） They will treat them hospitably but expects no reciprocity (互惠 ). （ B） They will try to spend more time with their visitors. （ C） They will welcome their visitors warmly but they are not as ge
37、nerous as the Chinese. （ D） They hope one day the visitors will invite them to the visitors home. 52 In which of the following situation can the Chinese hardly understand Americans? （ A） Americans are ready to share their home life with foreigners. （ B） Though Americans are very friendly and hospita
38、ble, they are reluctant to spend too much time with visitors. （ C） Friendships between Americans are close but short. （ D） Americans would like to include foreigners in their private lives. 53 Which of the following is the main point of the passage? （ A） Culture shock on friendship. （ B） Americans f
39、riendship. （ C） Difference between American and Chinese friendship. （ D） Similarity of American friendship to Chinese friendship. 53 Thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical operations. Later he used sharp bone or horn, metal knives and more recently, rubber and plastic and that
40、was where we stuck, in surgical instrument terms, for many years. In the 1960s a new tool was developed, one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also, in time, to revolutionize the art and science of surgery. The tool is the laser and
41、 it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world, for a very large number of different complaints. The word laser means: light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. As we all know, light is hot, any source of light - from the sun itself clown to a humble match burning - wi
42、ll give warmth. But light is usually spread out over a wide area. The light in a laser beam, however, is concentrated. This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint -sized beam. Experiment
43、s with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that difficult energy sources produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells. It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of the human eye without harming the front of the eye, simply by passing a laser beam right thr
44、ough the eyeball. No knives, no stitches(刀口缝合 ) , no unwanted damage-a true surgical wonder. Operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of long period of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable. So much more difficult operations can now be tried. The rapid develop
45、ment of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting. Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but also more effective. Altogether, tomorrow may see more and more information coming to light o
46、n the diseases which can be treated medically. 54 Which of the following would be appropriate to describe the instruments for surgical operations up until 1960s? （ A） Traditional. （ B） Simple. （ C） Remarkable. （ D） Basic. 55 What do we find after the development of the laser in the 1960s? （ A） Indus
47、trial revolution brought surgery changed greatly. （ B） Medical help became available for industrial workers. （ C） The study of art went through a complete revolution. （ D） Human beings methods in surgery changed greatly. 56 The reason why the laser beam is very strong is that _. （ A） it is artificia
48、lly illuminated (照亮 ) （ B） it is made up of a concentrated beam of light （ C） it sends out heat in all directions （ D） its heat is increased by the heat of the sun 57 After the use of the laser beam, surgeons can perform operations which _. （ A） leave the patients with negative effects （ B） can. tre
49、at only human eye disease （ C） do little damage to the patients themselves （ D） make the patients need a long time to recover 58 The rapid development of laser techniques has meant that _. （ A） surgery is likely to improve considerably （ B） in another ten years we shall be able to cure cancer （ C） in future all the diseases can certainly be cured （ D） operations will be performed more complicatedly in the future 58 There are two types of people in the
