题文
阅读理解 America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close andreal, yet disappearsoon 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 don't 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
activities. 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!

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。
