Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
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 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 welcome 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 routine.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 friends to their
homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters.So accept their hospitality at home!
1．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families. B．Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives. C．Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy. D．Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break. 2．When we arrive in America to 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
3．The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean________.
A．strict with time B．serious with time C．careful with time D．willing to spend time
4．A suitable title for this passage would probably be“________”． A．Friendships between Chinese B．Friendships between Americans C．Americans' hospitality
D．Americans' and Chinese's views of friendships

Robert Jarvik，born on May 11, 1946 in Michigan and raised in Stamford, is a medical scientist and researcher，who played an important role in the invention of the artificial heart.He was interested in medicine from a young age.He watched his father perform operations and gained a patent (专利权)for a machine applied in the medical operation before he graduated from high school.
Jarvik attended Syracuse University and considered a career in art.When his
father developed heart disease suddenly, he decided then to work on a medical career.He applied to medical schools, but was not admitted to any schools in the US. Before long, he was admitted to the medical school in Italy and stayed there for two years.He returned to get a degree in medicine from New York University in 1971.
After working for a period of time, Jarvik got a job in the organ transplant (器官移植) program at the University of Utah in 1972.He worked with the director of the program, Willem Kolff, who invented the kidney dialysis (肾透析)machine.
By the time Jarvik came to the University of Utah, the organ program had already developed the primary artificial heart.He improved it by creating a diaphragm (横膈膜)，which solved many issues with the heart.Eventually, he created the first artificial heart in 1981, the Jarvik-7, to be placed in a human patient, which was considered one of the most important inventions in human history.
Barney Clark, a retired dentist suffering from serious heart disease, received the Jarvik-7 transplant on December.2, 1982.He lived for 112 days after the operation, but the transplant was considered a success.Though receiving criticism for the risk referred to transplant an artificial heart, the Jarvik-7 still became very important for patients who were waiting for a heart.In 1987，Jarvik moved to New York City and formed Jarvik Research Inc.He began developing a new heart －the Jarvik 2000.This smaller machine fits inside a patient's heart rather than replacing the entire organ.
5．What method does the writer use to develop the passage? A．By comparing opinions from different fields. B．By following the natural time order. C．By discussing research experiments. D．By presenting some research results.
6．What do you know about Robert Jarvik from the passage?

C．He began to help his father from a young age when he performed operations. D．He was admitted to an American medical school soon after he graduated from college.
7．Which of the following incidents made Robert Jarvik determine his life-long career?
A．He received a patent for the medical operation.
B．He was refused to be admitted to any medical school in the US. C．He took part in the organ program at the University of Utah. D．His father developed heart disease suddenly.
8．What is the greatest achievement for Robert Jarvik as a medical scientist? A．He created the first artificial heart in 1981. B．He invented the kidney dialysis machine.
C．He did the first heart transplant operation for a heart patient. D．He created a diaphragm to fit inside a patient's heart.

Customers rushing to Paris's newest cafe to order their coffees and bread are now able to enjoy them in the company of a dozen cats.
The “Cafe des Chats” in the heart of the capital is home to a dozen cats that walk around tables or curl up on armchairs as people eat and drink.The establishment is aimed at Parisians unable to keep pets in small city-centre apartments.And though the idea may seem strange, cafe manager Margaux Gandelon says that the “purr (咕噜咕噜声) treatment” does good to customers' health.And it is real，“Purring produces vibrations(震动)，which lower your blood pressure and your heartbeat，”Gandelon says.
This month's opening weekend saw queues snaking along the roadside and bookings taken from now last until next month.Some 300 customers had to be turned away.Gandelon says animal welfare (福利) is important and customers are not allowed to abuse the cats.She is prepared to force any customers who are against the rules to leave the cafe.
Visiting the cafe out of curiosity，business student Florian Laboureau described it as a great idea, but said he was more of a dog person.Another customer Quack Quaack said，“I was really impressed when I was in Paris a few days ago.Just about everywhere we went, dogs were everywhere.But I thought I'd died and gone to heaven standing in the bank queue with dogs all around me with their owners.There were cats in a lot of the retail stores too that would greet you as you walked in.The US needs to get with this, pets are part of most people's lives and having them in public places makes the world seem like a happier and friendlier place.Wouldn't that be just
wonderful？”
9．The “Cafe des Chats” is special because________. A．it lies in the center of Paris B．it offers all kinds of cat food C．customers can bring cats there D．customers enjoy their coffees with cats
10．Why did Margaux Gandelon open the “Cafe des Chats”？ A．To make it a pet rescue center. B．To meet animal lovers' needs. C．To become a famous person. D．To study the “purr treatment”．
11．We can learn from the passage that________. A．the “Cafe des Chats” is very popular now B．more cats will be accepted in the “Cafe des Chats” C．the “Cafe des Chats” will be opened in other cities
D．people become healthier after drinking in the “Cafe des Chats” 12．What's the meaning of the underlined word “abuse” in Paragraph 3? A．Keep close to. C．Treat badly.
B．Talk to. D．Pat warmly.

Once upon a time there was a good, cheerful wizard(男巫)who loved to use his magic to make everyone happy.He was also quite an unusual wizard because he was allergic (过敏) to many different foods.He had to be very careful with what he put in his mouth.He was always being invited to parties, and he would always gladly accept, because he always had new tricks and games to try out.
In the beginning, everyone was considerate about his allergies, and they took special care to prepare food that he would be able to eat safely.But as time went on, people were tired of having to prepare special foods for him.Sometimes they didn't even bother to tell him what was in the food, and, more than once, he ended up with a black tongue and a red face.
The wizard was angry.He waved his wand (摩杖) and cast a spell(咒语) that
gave everyone a special allergy.Some became allergic to birds, others to fruit or meat...And so, each person had to take special care from then on.Whenever people met up to eat or have a party, they ended up having to go to the doctor.
Gradually, people began making an effort to learn what each other's allergies were.Now they would prepare everything carefully, so that they could have a good time together without getting sick.In less than a year, life in town returned to normal，filled with parties and celebrations.Even better, the wizard now could stay and enjoy the whole party.
Some time later, without anyone knowing, the wizard waved his wand again and undid the spell.The people had learned well how to be considerate towards others, and how they could enjoy each other's company even better just by making a little effort to adapt(适应)to each and every person.
13．The wizard got sick because________. A．the food he ate was not healthy B．people didn't know he was allergic C．people gave him allergic food on purpose D．people didn't tell him what was in his food 14．The wizard made others allergic because________. A．he was angry with people's indifference to him B．he wanted to perform his new trick C．he wanted others to know his power D．he was not invited to the party
15．From the fourth paragraph, we can know in order to live a normal life people had to________.
A．go to see the doctor every day B．keep each other safe from allergy C．keep away from birds and fruits D．stop holding parties and celebrations

Overeating is a serious problem for a lot of people.While many people attribute (把……归于) overeating to a lack of willpower (意志力)，it's more complex than that.__16__Let's explore some ways. Eat breakfast.
__17__Research shows people who don't eat breakfast are more likely to overeat later in the day and have a higher possibility of coronary heart disease (发生冠心病)．Another study shows that eating eggs in the morning can help you eat less throughout the day.So eating breakfast is very important for people.
Slow down.
It may sound obvious, but eating slowly and mindfully is one of the best ways of fighting against overeating.__18__Pack healthy snacks when you're on the go.Healthy snacks are a necessary tool to help you stop overeating.__19__So pack healthy snacks like nuts, seeds and fruits and take them with you to work，school or other places where you go throughout the day.
__20__Nutrient density means the amount of nutrition packed into a particular number of foods.For example, you can eat a giant plate of broccoli to get the same amount of calories in a tiny cup of ice cream because vegetables are generally more nutrient-dense.
