        America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don't feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸) deeply into both families.

        There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China,we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take day off from our work to act as guides to our friends: It is opposite in America, Americans can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm  and real.

        For Americans,it is often considered friendlier to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality(好客) at home and enjoy your visit in America!

57. The underlined phrase “pick up” in Paragraph 1 may mean “                ”.

 A. keep out B. give up

 C. pay no attention to D. continue

58. Which of the following is the typical(典型的) way of American hospitality?

 A. Treating friends at home

 B. Taking days off to be with friends

 C. Meeting friends at the airport at midnight

 D. Sharing everything they have

59. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

 A. Americans are always generous with their time

 B. Americans don't feel hurt if their friendships disappear soon

 C. Chinese friendships develop more slowly but will never disappear

 D. Chinese friendships are more sincere than American friendships

60. This passage is most probably written for                 .

 A. American students B. Chinese students

 C. Chinese visitors to America D. American visitors to China

七、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分）

        Mike and John are good friends. Both of them like traveling very much.

        One day, when they were traveling through a desert, they quarreled(吵架) with each other. Mike was very angry and hit John in the face. John was hurt, 61.                , he wrote in the sand, "Today my best friend hit me in the face."

        Then they went on walking and found an oasis(绿洲). It was very hot, 62.                . John was not good at swimming and he started drowning(溺水) after a few minutes. 63.                . When John got up, he wrote on a stone, "Today my best friend saved my life."

        Mike felt a little surprised and asked, "Why, after I hurt you, you wrote some words in the sand, and now you wrote on a stone?" John smiled and said, "When a friend hurts us, we should write it down in the sand. 64.                . However, when something great happens, we should write it in the stone of our memory and remember it forever." 65.                . He learned what true friendship was. Let's learn to write in the sand and on the stone.

八、阅读与表达(问答式)（共5小题；共10分）

        Are you the kind of person who likes staying in unusual places? If the answer is “yes”, then try the world's coldest hotel in Jukkasjarvi in the north of Sweden. But go in winter or all you'll find is a pool of water, because the hotel melts every spring!

        The man who runs the ARTic Hall Hotel is Nils Yngve Bergqvist. He is also the man whose idea it was. He built his first hotel for an art show in 1991 and he designed the present hotel---over 200 metres square---himself. It took workmen about two months to put 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden board. As the weather got colder, the snow froze and then they removed the board. The whole building and everything in it is made of snow - except for the wooden front door. There's a theatre, a jazz club, a radio station and a large ice bar. As you can imagine, hot drinks are popular with the guests! The rooms have no doors, there is no furniture, no heating and everyone sleeps on…yes, that's right…ice beds. But the 800 people who have stayed at the hotel this winter seem to like it. If you want to stay in one of the ice rooms, it will cost you about ￡30 a night. You won't be very comfortable, but you will receive a survival certificate (生存能力证书) from the manager!

        When the winter is over, Nils holds his competition every year to predict the day that the hotel will fall. The person that guessed the day correctly last year received a large painting from an ARTic Hall show. Bergqvist's ice hotels are becoming world-famous and he loves his work. He's already excited about his next project---an ice hotel that will be bigger and better, he says.

 根据短文内容，完成下列小题。

66. Can you visit the ARTic Hall Hotel in summer?

67. Where is the ARTic Hall Hotel?

68. How much does the hotel cost for one night?

69. What will the manager do next?

70. Why is the ARTic Hall Hotel unusual?
