88、riendships 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 p
89、ick 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 holida
90、ys, 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 dont show their politeness to us if it require

Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at the airport 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 American
92、s, 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 arr
93、ive 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!29The wr

The crack (裂痕) that led to the separation was observable in 1963. However, the crack remained inactive for decades before suddenly spreading northwards and wideni
97、ng by 18 miles between 2011 and 2015 and then an additional 13 miles in 2016.Iceberg separation is not a natural part of a glaciers (冰川) life cycle but a result of global warming. However, the separation of A68 is receiving a lot of attention due to its size. Measuring 5,800 square kilometers, the A
98、68 has reduced the Larsen C Ice Shelf area by more than 12%.“The interesting thing is what happens next, how the remaining ice shelf responds,” said Kelly Brunt, who has studied the effects of the warming climate on the Larsen C Ice Shelf since 2015. “Many people may ask,Will the ice shelf weaken? O
99、r will it fall down, like its neighbors Larsen A and B? Will the glaciers behind the ice shelf speed up and have a direct contribution to sea level rise? I think answers may be not that terrible.”Ice shelves, which border 75% of the Antarctic Peninsula, form from snow that became ice thousands of ye
100、ars ago. They are found where glaciers meet the ocean and the weather is cold enough to keep the ice frozen. The icy structures are natural barriers against the water melting from glaciers, which can lead to rising sea levels.The Larsen Ice Shelf once consists of four parts: Larsen A (the smallest),
101、 Larsen B, Larsen C (the largest) and Larsen D. While scientists will continue to monitor A68 and its parent, many believe itll take several years before Larsen C breaks down further. “The remaining 90% of the ice shelf continues to be held in place by two points,” said Chris Shuman, a glaciologist.
102、 “So I just dont see any signs that this event will lead to the falling down of the Larsen C Ice Shelf. But we will be watching closely for signs of further changes.”语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。一座被命名为A68的史上最大的南极冰山于2017年7月10日至12日从拉森C冰架断裂,至少一万亿吨冰块落入海中。这一事件引起了广泛关注。32Why did A68 iceberg separation become a heated top

104、3What is Kelly Brunts attitude towards the A68 iceberg separation?APositive. BDoubtful.CUninterested. DWorried.解析:选A观点态度题。从第三段Kelly Brunt所说的“I think answers may be not that terrible”可知,她对于冰山A68脱离拉森C冰架这一现象持乐观的态度。34Why are icy structures so important according to Paragraph 4?AThey help keep the weathe
105、r cool.BThey help control the sea levels.CThey make water turn into the glaciers.DThey are necessary for scientists research.解析:选B细节理解题。从第四段的“The icy structures are natural barriers against the water melting from glaciers, which can lead to rising sea levels.”可知,这些冰川非常重要,因为它们可以控制海平面的上升。35Chris Shuma
106、n thought that the A68 iceberg separation would _.Ainfluence the wildlife thereBnever change the icy structuresCcause many further changesDhave little influence on Larsen C Ice Shelf解析:选D推理判断题。从Chris Shuman所说的话可知,他认为冰山A68脱离拉森C冰架并不会带来什么影响。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
