How long will you rest for lunch-time?________A. 60 minutes B. 70 minutes C. 80 minutes D. 90 minutesBThe English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions.One such example is the word matter. In fact, matter can mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.Let's get to the heart of the matter — a matter of principle (原则).If someone says that you owe (欠) him $50, but you don't, a friend might say, “Well, you could pay him the $50. It's not that much money. Then you won't have to hear him say it anymore.” But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. It's a matter of principle.There is another way to use the word matter. But be careful with your choice of words.If you ask someone, “What's the matter?”, it shows you are worried about the other person. But saying, “What's the matter with you?” has a completely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude (粗鲁的). In fact, when you say, “What's the matter with you?”, you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid. Another expression that could sound rude is to say, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it depends on the context, and how you say it.Let's say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it means he or she does not care. And it sounds rude.But saying, “Oh, you pick where we eat dinner. It doesn't matter to me.” does not sound rude. In this situation, “it doesn't matter” shows you are easy-going (随和的).No matter how you look at it and what you say, matter is a very useful word. And it's only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter. 4. We can infer from the text that the word matter _____.A. has a wide use B. can mean money C. is the most used English word D. has the most different expressions5. What is the author's suggestion in Paragraph 4?A. Every penny counts. B. Stick to what is right.C. Follow your friend's advice. D. Be careful when making friends.6. The underlined word “context” in the text probably means _____.A. choice B. person C. situation D. answer7. The author develops the text mainly by _____.A. using examples B. giving instructionsC. describing his experiences D. discussing research findingsC 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 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 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 a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!8. The writer of this passage must be ______.A. an American B. a Chinese C. a professor D. a student9. 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.10. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______. A. strict with time B. serious with timeC. careful with time D. willing to spend time11. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”. A. Friendships between Chinese B. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans’ hospitality D. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendshipsDWe are already familiar with computers—computers work for us at home, in offices and in factories.But it is also true that many children today are using computers at schools before they can write. What does this mean for the future? Are these children lucky or not?Many people who do not know about computers think of them as machines that children play with. They worry that children do not learn from experience but just from pressing a button and that this is not good for them. They think that children are growing not knowing about the real world.But people who understand more about computers say that computers can be very good for children. A computer can help them to learn about the real world more quickly, to learn what they want to learn and think for themselves. And for the future, don’t we need people who can think clearly, who know how to get information quickly and use it well? What do you think?12. “To be familiar with” means to ______.A. know nothing B. know about C. dislike D. like13. Does everyone think computers are good for children?A. Yes, they do. B. No, not everyone thinks so.C. They don’t know. D. They are not sure.14. What can computers help children to do?A. To think clearly, to do homework and to write. B. To play games, to do math and to copy.C. To think clearly, to get information and to use it well. D. To count, to clean the house and to get information.15. Does the writer think computer is a good thing?A. It isn’t mentioned. B. No, he doesn’t think so. C. He doesn’t know. D. Yes, he does.第二节：根据短文内容，从选项中选出最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项（每题2分，满分10分）。
