四、阅读理解：（20分）

Task 1

People in the United States like to entertain people at home. They invite friends for a meal, a party or even a cup of tea. Sometimes, however, people use expressions that sound like an invitation, but actually are not. For example, "Please come over for a drink sometime." In fact, it is only just a polite way of ending a conversation. It is not a real invitation, because it does not contain a specific time or date. It just shows that the person who is speaking is friendly. So when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully.

When you accept or reject an invitation, it is polite to show pleasure at receiving the invitation. When you cannot accept the invitation, it is better to offer a vague excuse, such as an appointment with a certain friend, some other work to do or a prior engagement.

A. at a snack bar

B. at home

Task 2

And he"s very difficult to please! I hear that soon my local post office will arrange a program to have stamps sent to homes, so that I won"t have to visit the post office to buy stamps when I need them. What"s more, the post office will soon install a drive-through letterbox. That way, I will hardly have to stop my car to drop off mail.

Task 3

Task 4

Why do Westerners love their pets so much, almost as if they were their children? I suppose one reason is that for more than one hundred years many children"s books in England and in America were animal stories. By this we mean stories that gave the animals human names, human voices, human emotions, and even faces that look almost human. Many of these stories taught a moral lesson, like honesty or kindness or hard work. My mother read animal stories to me as a child, and my wife and I read some of the same animal stories to my boys when they were small, and now they read animal stories to their children. Some are the same stories about dogs and cats and rabbits and horses. So children in America grow up with good feelings toward animals.

Many families would like to have a purebred dog or cat, that is an animal whose parents come from a single kind of animal. But purebred animals are expensive. And those that are registered with a special dog or cat club are even more expensive since there is a written record of their ancestors for many generations. What often happens is that a family"s first pet will come from some friend whose pet has had babies. Or they may get a pet from an animal shelter. Every city and many smaller towns have a humane society which cares for animals that are found and for animals which people no longer want. They try to find the owner of lost pets and to find homes for the others. Over the years my wife and I and our children have gotten some very nice dogs for our family from animal shelters, usually at no cost.

But some families do not want a house dog or a house cat. They want an outside dog or cat. So the animal stays outsides the house most of the time. Special dog houses are made for such dogs to use, especially at night in the colder parts of North America.

1、Why do Western people love their pets so much?

A. Because their children don"t have many friends.

B. Because they have leisure time and enough extra money.

C. Because they are very much influenced by animal stories.

D. Because they regard pets as their children.

2、Since they have heard a lot of animal stories, American children tend are brought up to ________.

A. love animals when they grow up

B. treat animals rudely

C. live play with animals

D. dislike animals

3、A purebred dog refers to a dog ________.

A. which is brought up by one family.

B. whose parents come from the same are a place

C. whose parents belong to the single kind of dog

D. which is bred in a pure housedog club

4、How do most many Americans American families often get their first pet?

A. They buy it from a pet shop.

B. They pick up one from the streets.

C. They always get one from the animal shelter.

D. They get it from their friends

5、Not all pets stay with their masters in the house all the time for ________.

A. it"s good for them to stay outside

B. people think they dogs are dirty

C. some people don"t want to keep a house dog or a house cat

D. they don"t like dogs tend to stay in a their masters" dog house
