九年级上学期英语期中联考试卷B卷二、 阅读理解。 (共4题；共36分)2. （6分） America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They dont 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.T here is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont 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 a day off from our work to act as guides to our friends. It is opposite in America. Americans cannot 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 more friendly 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!（1）The underlined phrase pick up in Paragraph 1may mean _.A . put downB . give upC . pay no attention toD . continue（2）From the passage, we can know_.A .

But I think there is still something I should let you and your friends know before you leave. First, bring a warm jacket and sweater so that youre prepared for changes in the temperature. Even in the summer months of July and August, it gets cold. Second, many of the phone boxes at San Francisco airport and in the center of the city only accept prepaid(预先付款的) calling cards. So a prepaid phone card is needed. I suggest you buy one at the airport. Third, its not easy to find a hotel room when you arrive. Hotels fill up quickly in San Francisco all year, especially in summer. Youd better book your room before you come. One more thing. San Francisco is a great walking citybut there are hills! Bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes if youre planning to go around on foot. Lastly, there are many wonderful cultural activities in San Francisco year round. Use the Internet to get the latest information about the activities all the time of your visit.
