题文
Few Americans remain in one position or one place for a lifetime. They move from town to city to suburb, from high school to college in a different state, from a job in one region to a better job elsewhere, from the home where they raise their children to the home where they plan to live in retirement (退休). With each move they are forever making new friends, who become part of their new life at that time.For many of them summer is a special time for forming new friendships. Today millions of Americans vacation abroad, and they go not only to see new sights but also with the hope of meeting new people. No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend, but the beginning of a friendship is possible.
The word “friend ” can be applied to a wide range of relationships ---- to someone one has known for a few weeks in a new place, to a fellow worker, to a childhood playmate, to a man or woman, to a trusted confidant (知己).

解析
试题分析:本文介绍了美国人的生活。美国人一生当中总是在搬迁，或者是因为上学的缘故，或者是因为工作的原因，还有的是因为退休后找个好地方养老。如今，很多美国人喜欢在夏天出国旅游，除了观光还希望能够开始一段友谊。
小题1:D细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容可知因为上学，工作或者是退休养老的原因，人们会到处搬家，D选项内容不是美国人不断搬家的原因，选D。
小题2:C细节理解题。文章第二段内容介绍了夏天是美国人到处旅游，结交新朋友的时候，数百万美国人都去国外度假，故答案选C。
小题3:A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容and they go not only to see new sights but also with the hope of meeting new people.可知选A。
小题4:D细节理解题。根据文章末段内容可知朋友的范畴很广泛，a fellow worker, to a childhood playmate, to a man or woman,都提及了，故答案选D。
小题5:A主旨大意题。文章第二段开头提出 For many of them summer is a special time for forming new friendships.，然后进一步介绍夏天是如何不同的，提到人们在夏天去国外旅游，结交新朋友，所以判断A选项内容是本段主题句。

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
