In the United States, friendships can be close, constant, intense, generous, and real, yet fade away in a short time if things change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greeting 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 where it's left off and are delighted.

In the States, you can feel free to visit people's homes and share their holidays without fear that you are taking on a lasting obligation. Do not hesitate to accept hospitality because you cannot give it in return. No one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home. Americans will enjoy welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospitality easily.

Once you arrive there, the welcome will be full and warm and real. Most visitors find themselves easily invited into many homes there. In some countries it is considered inhospitable to entertain at home, offering what is felt as "merely" home cooked food, not "doing something" for your guest. It is felt that restaurant entertaining shows more respect and welcome. Or for various other reasons, such as crowded space, language difficulties, or family custom, outsiders are not invited into homes.

In the United States, both methods are used, but it is often considered more friendly to invite a person to one's home than to go to a public place, except in pure business relationships. So, if your host or hostess brings you home, do not feel that you are being shown inferior treatment.

C. you might be considered as a person hungry for social activities if you accept an invitation too easily

D. people care little about where they are invited to go for dinner

高三英语七选五简单题查看答案及解析

If there is one thing that matters in high school－and for your whole life－it is friendships．

My latest novel，THE UNWRITTEN RULE，is about a girl，Sarah，who falls for her best friend Brianna’s boyfriend，Ryan，but it’s more about wrestling with feelings for a guy that you know you shouldn’t have．A lot of the book deals with friendship，the kind of lifelong friendship that means the world to you．．．and what happens when you realize that maybe it isn’t what you think it is．

Maybe your best friend isn’t your best friend．Maybe she isn’t even a friend at all．

Friendships are tricky things．You can he sure everything is fine，and that your friendship is going to last forever．．．and it can just end．No explanation，no anything．And it is not easy．In fact，I think losing a friend is worse than losing a boyfriend，especially when it is a friend you’ve had in your life for a long time．

One of the things that Sarah struggles with in THE UNWRITTEN RULE，beyond her feelings for Ryan，is her friendship with Brianna—how long they’ve been friends，how she understands Brianna in a way no one else does，and what to do when a crack appears in their friend ship，not because of Sarah’s feelings for Ryan，but because Sarah begins to wonder if maybe Brianna isn’t her best friend after all．

Having a friendship end is incredibly painful and one of the things I hated when I was younger—and that I still hate now—is how people say．“Oh，it’ll be okay．You’ll move on，you’ll be fine．”

It is true that you will eventually move on and that you will be fine．But you will also always carry that lost friendship with you．It may not take up all of your heart like it does at first，but it will take part of it．

And that，I think，is something no one ever talks about and that I wish we could — and would．

What do you do when someone you are friends with decides your friendship is over? How do you deal with it?

Maybe my latest novel can provide something for you．

47．From the passage we can infer that_____．

A．it may takes Sarah a long time to recover after she lost Brianna’s friendship

B．Sarah and Brianna are still best friends after a long period of time

C．Sarah does not value Brianna’s friendship at all

D．Ryan would feel puzzled about his real love

48．What do you think the book THE UNWRITTEN RULE is mainly about?

A．Friendship．    B．School life．   C．Love．  D．Wrestling with feelings．

49．What’s the writer’s attitude towards friendship?

A．We will all lose some friends in our life．

B．Ending a friendship is worse than losing a boyfriend．

C．It’s usual when a crack appears．

D．You will eventually move on after you lose a friendship．

50．What do you think is the best title for the passage above?

A．My Latest Novel．    B．Tricky Friends．

C．Sarah and Brianna．    D．Unforgettable Friendship

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Reading is good for you. There is increasing evidence to show that reading isn’t merely a way of improving literacy and knowledge, but that it might actually be good for one’s mental and physical health, too.

In the age of Twitter and short attention spans, reading novels, which requires intense concentration over a long period of time, could be the antidote(矫正方法).

Neuroscientists Baroness Susan Greenfield says that reading helps to lengthen attention spans in children and improve their ability to think clearly. “Stories have a structure that encourages our brain to think in sequence, to link cause, effect and significance,” she says “It is essential to learn this skill as a small child.”

“In a computer game, you might rescue a princess, but you don’t care about her, you just want to win,” she explains, “But a princess in a book has a past, present and future. You can relate to her. You see the world through her eyes”

According to professor John Stein, Oxford university, reading is far from a passive activity. “Reading exercises the whole brain,” he explains. “ When we get lost in a good book, we are doing more than following a story, Imaging what is happening is as good as activating the brain as doing it. In other words, our brains simulate(模仿) real experiences, and it is just as if we were experiencing them ourselves. This doesn’t happen when we are watching a TV or playing computer games.”

Getting stuck in a good novel appears to be good for one’s mental health. Reading helps one not only fights loneliness, but also forget one’s own problems for a while.

Researchers found that just six minutes of reading could reduce stress levels by more than two-thirds, more than listening to music or going out for a walk. The concentration required to read distracts the mind, easing muscle’s tension and slowing the heart rate. Reading may be good for physical health, too, by preventing brain aging and disease.

1.Which of the following statement is true about playing computer games?

A. It encourages our brains to think clearly

B. It makes people feel lonely

C. It makes the player concentrate on the result instead of the role in it

D. It can help lengthen one’s attention span.

2.According to John Stein, reading _______

A. is simply following a story

B. is a passive activity

C. can active the brain

D. has the same results as watching TV

3.What is the main purpose of this passage?

A. To show how to improve children’s attention spans

B. To encourage people to read

C. To show that Twitter has a negative influence

D. To compare the results of reading and watching TV

4.The last two paragraphs are mainly about

A. the mental and physical benefits of reading

B. ways of getting rid of stress

C. the problems we face in daily life

D. the factors that cause people to feel lonely

5.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Reading Books Helps Keep Your Healthy

B. The Structure of a Book

C. The Brain Activities While Reading

D. How to Teach Children to Read
