第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Many foreign students report feeling lonely or unwelcome in Australia. Those feelings are among the reasons why Australia is taking a close look at its international education industry. But wherever international students go, making friends may not always be easy. Elisabeth Gareis of Baruch College in New York surveyed 454 international students. They were attending four-year colleges and graduate schools in the American South and Northeast.
Students from English-speaking countries and from northern and central Europe were more likely to be happy with their friendships. But 38% of the international students said they had no close friends in the United States. And half of the students from East Asia said they were unhappy with the number of American friends they had. Thirty percent said they wished their friendships could be deeper and more meaningful.
Professor Gareis says, “Students from East Asia have cultures that are different on many levels from the culture in the United States. There are also language problems, and maybe some social skills, such as small talks, which are possibly not as important in their native countries, where it’s not as important to start friendships with small talks. Many East Asian students blamed themselves for their limited friendships with Americans, for not speaking the language well enough and for not knowing the culture well enough.”
VOA’s Students Union blogger Jessica Stahl did her own survey to find out how American students and foreign students relate to each other. More than 100 students, about half of them American, answered her online questions. Half of the international students and 60 % of the Americans said they related as well or better to the other group than to their own group.
Professor Gareis says, “International students who make friends with host nationals are, overall, more satisfied with their stay in the host country. They have better language skills, better academic performance and better attitudes toward the host country.”
1、What can be the best title for the text?
A．Making Friends Is Not Always Easy for Foreign Students
B．Students from East Asia Are Not Good at Making Friends
C．International Education Industry in Australia and America
D．The Relation between Foreign Students and Host Countries
2、Professor Gareis tends to think that .
A．culture shock should be blamed for many levels of American culture
B．foreign students don’t know small talks mean a lot to Americans
C．foreign students should learn some basic social skills first of all
D．foreign students have difficulty making friends for different reasons
3、How did Jessica Stahl carry out her survey?
A．By doing questionnaires from Students Union.
B．By asking questions on the Internet.
C．By forming the students into groups.
D．By doing a survey through VOA．
4、Which of the following statements will the writer probably agree with?
A．International students like to make more friends in their own group.
B．International students are more likely to remain in the host country after graduation.
C．Students who make more friends at home have better academic performance.
D．Students who make friends in their host countries feel happier with their experience.

B
Five thousand square meters of old damaged cars, motorcycles and boats fill this junkyard. For a casual onlooker, this might be a very sad sight. But for Andy, it’s a real treasure. “I’ve been a junk hoarder (囤积者) for my whole life and I like fixing up what shouldn’t be thrown away. Around 200 old cars end up in this junkyard every week. Some of them are sold for parts, others get repaired, and still others are beyond repair.”
His father Bobby started the business some 50 years ago and still spends every morning there. The father and son have very different approaches to their work. They got a Dean cab that was getting thrown away and that was the father’s project, which Andy did not want him to do. “He did basically the opposite of everything I told him and I think he did it just to make me mad. He dumped a ton of money into this car, but in the end it wouldn’t run.” Andy said jokingly.
The unusual family business attracted the attention of a TV crew. That’s how the show Janka Empire came to be featured on a network of the Discovery Channel. This show, five years of shooting, five seasons and 60 episodes (集), is popular. “There are hundreds of junkyards throughout the United States. I think what’s interesting is that it is a family business. My father and I started the business and we joke very well back and forth and I think that’s what people like. The cars that end up at the junkyard come out with endless surprises. See, this was a junk car and we restored it with a blown motor. Yet I don’t get a chance to ride around it too often. Because despite its shining appearance, the noise of the engine is truly deafening and I worry my neighbors will not put up with it.”
1、What does Andy seem to like about his junkyard?
A．It is very large.
B．It may be a bad sight.
C．It is amazing and valuable.
D．It is his life dreamland.
2、What can we infer from the “one Dean cab” case?
A．The father is ready to follow his son’s advice.
B．The son is impatient and fed up with his father.
C．The father and son get on well with each other.
D．The father and son often disagree with each other.
3、Why is the show Janka Empire popular?
A．There are hundreds of junkyards in the United States.
B．Bobby and Andy run their family business in an unusual way.
C．The show is a series of 5 seasons and 60 episodes.
D．Bobby and Andy can make the junk car attractive.
4、Which of the following words can best describe Bobby and Andy?
A．Devoted and creative. B．Funny and ridiculous.
C．Gentle and respectable. D．Economical and wealthy.

Spring is my favorite season of the year. The days are not so hot even though the sun shone brightly. The trees and grasses look greener. Whatever I look, I can see so many pretty flowers. It rains sometimes but not so much. We needn’t wear so many clothes to keeping ourselves warm. I like to play in my garden earlier in the morning.
