湖州师范学院2012届学位英语考试试卷（艺体三本） Part I Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: Few Americans stay put（留在原处不动）for a life long time. We move from town to city to suburb, from high school to college in a different state, from a job in one region to a better job elsewhere, from the home where we raise our children to the home where we plan to live in retirement. With each move we are forever making new friends, who become part of our life at that time. For many of us the summer is a special time for forming new friendships. Today millions of Americans vacation abroad, and they go not only to see new sights but also — in those places where they do not feel too strange — with the hope of meeting new people. No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend. But the beginning of a friendship is possible. But the word “friend” can be applied to a wide range of relations—to someone one has known for a few weeks in a new place, to a fellow worker, to a childhood playmate, to a man or woman, to a trusted confidant（知己）.There are real differences among these relations for Americans—a friendship may be superficial, casual, situational or deep and enduring. But to a European, who sees only our surface behavior, the differences are not clear. 1. Many Americans move from place to place for the following reasons except________.
