字数：299完成时间：6分钟难度：★★
Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don?t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don?t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven?t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity(大度) means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, like your hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve（解决). Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practise honesty, generosity and understanding.
1. Some friendships don’t last very long because______.
A. there are too many people who want to make friends
B. they don’t know friendship is something serious
C. those who give others friendships receive friendships from others
D. those who never give others friendships receive no friendship from others
2. According to the passage honesty is______ .
A. as important as money
B. more important than anything else
C. something countable
D. the base of a friendship
3. Which of the following is NOT true in the passage?
A. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.
B. Always tell your friend the truth.
C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.
D. Sharing your mind with your friend is of great value.
4. According to the author, how do you help your friend know you better?
A. Ask your friend for everything.
B. Don’t tell the truth to your friend.
C. Share your ideas and feelings with your friend.
D. Give your lunch money or your clothes to your friend.
5. The BEST title of this passage is“______”.
A. A Friend in Need Is a Friend Indeed

C. How to Be a Friend
D. Three Important Points in Life
B

In the United States, friendship can be close, constant, intense, generous, and real, yet it can fade away in a short time if circumstances(环境) 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 where it left out and are delighted.
In the United States, you can feel free to visit people’s homes, share their holidays, enjoy their lives without fear that you are taking on a lasting obligation（负担）. Do not hesitate to accept hospitality(款待) because you can’t give it in return. No one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home. Americans will enjoy welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospitality easily.
Once you arrive there, the welcome will be full, warm and real. Most visitors find themselves readily incited into many homes there. In some countries it is considered inhospitable to entertain at home, offering what is felt as “merely” home cooked food, not “doing something” for your guest. It is felt that restaurant entertaining shows more respect and welcome. Or for various other reasons, such as crowded space, language difficulties, or family custom, outsiders are not invited into homes.
In the United States both methods are used, but it is often considered more friendly to invite a person to one’s home than to go to a public place, except in purely business relationships. So, if your host or hostess brings you home, do not feel that you are being shown inferior(低级别的) treatment.
Don’t feel neglected if you do not find flowers awaiting you in your hotel room either. Flowers are very expensive there, hotel delivery is uncertain, arrival times are delayed, changed, or canceled-so flowers are not customarily sent as a welcoming touch. Please do not feel unwanted! Outward signs vary in different lands; the inward welcome is what matters, and this will be real.
6. In the United States, you will find friendship______ if circumstances change.
A. dies suddenly B. comes back
C. disappears gradually D. lasts forever
7. Americans______ their foreign friends to make a return for their hospitality.
A. ask B. require C. never allow D. don’t expect
8. In the United States, giving a dinner party at home is considered______ than in a restaurant.
A. less friendly B. less hospitable C. more friendly D. more popular
9. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true in the United States?
A. Flowers are not customarily sent as a welcoming touch.
B. Flowers are expensive.
C. Flowers are sometimes signs of outward welcome.
D. Flowers must be sent to guests.
10. Which of the following is the BEST title for this passage?
A. Americans’Hospitality B. Americans’Friendship
C. Americans’Invitation D. Americans’Welcome

答案
9. 解析：选A。从下文的the year可知，选A。course此处意为“……的过程、进程”。其他三项均不符合文意。
10. 解析：选A。从上下文可知，Rose在学校很受欢迎，有很多朋友，所以easily符合文意。
11. 解析：选C。根据上下文可知，Rose已经在校学习了大约一学期，那么大家邀请她应是学期快要结束的时候，因此end正确。
12. 解析：选B。根据下文可知，Rose已经去世，但作者对她的话仍然记忆犹新，所以B项符合文意。
13. 解析：选A。根据前面的clear和上文中we invited Rose to speak可知，Rose是在准备说话，故选throat，表示她清了清嗓子。
14. 解析：选A。根据文意，Rose告诉我们不要stop playing，否则就会变老，故选A。
15. 解析：选D。根据上文的old可知，我们没有梦想，就会变老，所以保持年轻（young）的方法之一是拥有梦想。
16. 解析：选C。根据上文being happy和下文的humor可知，应选C。
17. 解析：选B。由文意可知，have a dream是保持年轻、快乐和取得成功的秘诀之一，那么失去了梦想就意味着变老了，故选B。其他选项均与文意不符。
18. 解析：选C。根据文意可知，Rose性格开朗，人缘很好，而且自己的梦想也实现了，由此可推测她在睡梦中“安静地”去世，故选C。
19. 解析：选D。由上下文可知，Rose虽然年老，仍保持着一颗年轻、快乐、上进的心，所以她从自身做起，成为大家学习的榜样。此处用介词by最合适，构成搭配teach by example，意为“以身作则”。
20. 解析：选D。根据Rose的故事我们可以得出启发：实现自己的梦想，再晚也不为过。故选D。

The United States is mainly an English-speaking country. The great number of population(人口) speaks English as their native language. Business, education and most publish aspects(方面) of life are conducted in English. Across the country, people pronounce English sounds in several different ways and some regional(地区) differences in word spelling exist, but for the most part, Americans speak one common language. This language is sometimes called American English.
However, not everyone in the US is a native speaker of English. Most of the persons coming into the country are speakers of other languages. There are hundreds of communities around the US where English is not the most commonly used language. Chinese, Italian, German, American, Greek, Vietnamese and French are all spoken in a great number of communities in the United States. Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language after English in the US. It is widely spoken in New York and across the southern part of the country.
For speakers of other languages, learning English is important, but traditionally(传统上), teaching people to speak English as a second language was given little attention. Non-English speakers were expected to “pick up” the language through getting in touch with people in public. Recently, this has changed. Today, most large public schools and community colleges have ESL, English as a Second Language, programs. American English teachers feel that English students should learn the language the way they will be using it. Therefore, ESL programs teach different English lessons to different students. Some programs teach students to communicate in English in public.
1. What language or languages do people in the United States speak?
A. English
B. American English
C. English and Spanish
D. English and lots of other languages
2. ESL stands for_____ .
A. English as a Special Language
B. English as a Spoken Language
C. English and Spanish Languages
D. English as a Second Language
3. Where is Spanish spoken in the United States?
A. In most part of New York and the southern states.
B. In New York and all the southern states.
C. In New York and across the southern part of the country.
D. In New York and many southern states.
4. “Non-English speakers were expected to ‘pick up’ the language through listening to and talking with people in public.” Here “pick up” means “_____”.
A. master(without difficulty)
B. do one’s best to study
C. learn(without taking lessons)
D. know only a little about
5. “American English teachers feel that English students should learn the language the way they will be using it.” By “English students” we mean______ .
A. the students who are English
B. the students who know nothing about English
C. the students who wish to learn English
D. the students who come to the US from some other countries
B

If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.
A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的),”he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34.Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
6. The main subject talked about in this passage is_____ .
A. science on learning a second language
B. man’s ability of learning a second language
C. language can help brain power
D. language learning and maths study
7. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to_____.
A. say language is also a kind of physical labor
B. prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language
C. show the importance of using the language when you learn the language
D. make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well
8. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means_____.
A. a researcher on language learning
B. a second language learner
C. a person who can speak two languages
D. an active language learner
9. We may know from the scientific findings that_____ .
A. the earlier you start to learn a second language the higher the grey matter density is
B. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second language
C. the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people’s brain
D. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time
10. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that_____.
A. learning a second language is the same as studying maths
B. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in study other subjects
C. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language

答案
Ⅰ. 1. 解析：选B。从第一句“I arrived in the United States...”可知，飞机降落在肯尼迪机场。从下文“From the airport my friend and I 3 a taxi to my hotel”同样也可以得知，飞机是降落而不是起飞。
2. 解析：选A。本句前后为转折关系，阅读时要把握but一词。句意为：天气非常冷，天下着雪，然而我太兴奋了，一点儿也不在乎。too...to...为固定搭配。
3. 解析：选D。考查短语搭配。take a taxi乘出租车。
4. 解析：选A。in astonishment在此作状语，修饰stared。
5. 解析：选B。 因为此时“我”盯着看的是摩天大楼，这些都是人工建筑， 因此“我”欣赏它们的人工美。

15. 解析：选C。“坐在桌旁”用at the table。
16. 解析：选B。句意为：饭后，我沿大街一直走到Time Square。D项有较大干扰性， 在此作者用until强调所走过的距离，而用before则强调先后的动作，因此选项D不合题意。
17. 解析：选A 。crowds of people意为“许许多多的人”。在此B选项有较大干扰性。 groups of people意为“一队一队的人”。看电影的人不可能都是结队而来，因此选项B不合题意。
18. 解析：选A。 walk around意为“四处走走”符合语境。
19. 解析：选C。句意为：因为夜里不断地听到火警和警车的汽笛声，我无法入睡。keep doing不断(反复)地做某事。start doing sth. 开始做某事，强调动作的开始，根据上下文，不合题意。
20. 解析：选B。此空所需要的是lie (躺，卧)的过去式，因此用lay。

2. 解析：选D。细节理解题。从第三段第四句“Today, most large public schools and community colleges have ESL, English as a Second Language.”我们可以得此答案。

4. 解析：选C。词义推测题。从 “through getting in touch with people in public”我们可以推测出，pick up在这里表示“在实践中学会“的意思。
5. 解析：选C。词义推测题。由第三段“Recently,this has... should learn the language the way they will be using it”可知此答案。
6. 解析：选C。主旨大意题。作者在第一段中就提出了本文的主题,然后下文围绕这一主题进行深入地阐述,即“语言学习可以提高你的智力”。
7. 解析：选D。推理判断题。作者在第二段中把语言学习对大脑的促进作用比作体育锻炼能促进肌肉健全,就是为了说明语言学习对大脑的促进有类似的作用。
8. 解析：选C。词义猜测题。根据本词前后的解释“They were compared with a group of ‘early bilinguals’ who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.”，可知其意思应是“a person who can speak two languages”。

Tourism probably started in Roman times. Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another part of the Roman empire. When the empire broke down, this kind of tourism stopped.
In the early 17th century, the idea of the “Grand Tour” was born. Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel. They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice in Italy. Their tours lasted for two to four years, and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city. The “Grand Tour ” was an important part of young people’s education?but only for the rich.
In the 18th century, tourism began to change. For example, people in the UK started to visit some towns, such as Bath to “take the waters”. They believed that the water there was good for their health. So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns.
In the 19th century, travel became much more popular and faster. When the first railways were built in the 1820s, it was easier for people to travel between towns, so they started to go for holidays at the seaside. Some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger, noisier and dirtier.
Travelling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built. People began to travel more to faraway countries.
The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people. Planes were made larger, so ticket prices dropped and more people used them.
Thus tourism grew. In 1949, Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays. The company organizes everything?plane tickets, hotel rooms, even food?and tourists pay for it all before they leave home. The package tour (包办旅行) and modern tourism industry was born.
The first travel agency in China was set up as early as 1949.But tourism did not take off until 1978.In 2002, the industry was worth 500 billion yuan and became an important part of China’s social development.
1.In the early times, the travellers______ .
A.all came from China B.were very young and strong
C.had lots of money D.travelled by boat
2．______ played the most important role in the tourism development.
A.Education B.Money
C.Transportation D.People’s ideas
3.Modern tourism industry was born______ .
A.in 1949 B.in Roman times
C.in the early 17th century D.in the 19th century
4.In which century did travel become much more popular and faster?
A.17th. B.18th. C.19th. D.20th.
5.The underlined phrase “take off ”in the last paragraph means
______.
A.rise into the air B.develop very fast
C.remove hats and clothes D.bring down the prices

Australians have been warned they face a life or death decision over their water-drink recycled sewage(污水) or die.
With the drought(干旱) continuing, the country is set to be forced to use purified(净化的) waste water for drinking, even though there is great opposition to the measure.
Queensland has become the first state to introduce the policy after a warning from its premier(总理).
“I think in the end, because of the drought, all of Australia is going to end up drinking recycled purified water,” said Peter Beattie.
“These are difficult decisions, but you either drink water or you die. There’s no choice. It’s liquid gold, it’s a matter of life and death.”
Beattie said Australia’s second largest state would become the first to use recycled water for drinking.
Water is recycled in Britain and parts of northern Europe along with the US and Israel.
But Australians have rebutted the idea.
To try to change the way of Australians think, Prime Minister John Howard and Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull have backed Queensland’s move.
“I am very strongly in favour of recycling and Mr Beattie is right and I agree with him completely,” Howard said.
Turnbull added that Australian cities, all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record, must start to use recycled water.
“All of our big cities have to widen the range of water sources to include sources which are not dependent on rainfall,” he said.
1.What would the BEST title for the passage be?
A. It’s Life or Death
B. Struggling With Drought
C. Australians’ Efforts to Settle Water Issues
D. Drinking Recycled Purified Water or Not
2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Queensland is the first state to use recycled water for drinking voluntarily.
B. No other countries but Australia once used purified waste water for drinking.
C. Australians well understand the policy, showing support and acceptance.
D. The drought is the worst one of the droughts recorded in Australian history.
3.Which of the following is TRUE about Turnbull?
A. He is the Australian Environment Minister and Prime Minister.
B. He expresses his opposition to the idea of using recycled water for drinking.
C. He thinks that to use recycled water will be a long-term process.
D. He suggests more water sources should be found to live through the hard time.
4. The underlined word “rebutted” in Paragraph 8 probably means______.
A. been fond of B. objected to
C. turned a deaf ear to D. doubted
5.What attitude does Queensland Premier Peter Beattie show towards the measure?
A. He feels very glad. B. He feels at ease.
C. He can’t help it. D. He has lost heart.

After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report: The damage and death toll（死亡人数）could have been much worse.
More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity（强度）that shook America in 1988 claimed 25, 000 victims.
Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes（抗震）.
Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints（蓝图）for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.
In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, which bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.
The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.
6.One reason why the loss of lives in the Log Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is that_____.
A. new computers had been installed in the buildings
B. it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highways
C. large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holiday
D. improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways
7.The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to_____.
A. counterbalance（起平衡作用）an earthquake’s action on the building
B. predict（预测）the coming of an earthquake with accuracy
C. help strengthen the foundation of the building
D. measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations
8.The smart buildings discussed in the passage_____.
A. would cause serious financial problems
B. would be worthwhile though expensive
C. would reduce the complexity of architectural design
D. can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes
9.It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing（使……最小）the damage caused by earthquakes, attention should be focused on_____.
A.the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital construction
B.the development of flexible building materials
C.the reduction of the impact of ground vibrations
D.early forecasts of earthquakes
10.The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to_____.
A.cnpare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the US
B.encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computers
C.outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materials
D.report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildings

Five years ago, Steven Gerrard fulfilled a boyhood dream when he was made captain of Liverpool, the football club he had supported all his life. As one of the best teams in the English Premier League, the captain’s armband weighed heavy on a player who had only turned 23.
But through a combination of individual brilliance on the pitch (球场) and a growing awareness of what being a skipper (队长) is all about, Gerrard has gone on to make the captain’s role his own.
He performed a rescue act for Liverpool by twice scoring as they Came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 against Hull City on December 13.His efforts steered (带领) the team to the top of the Premier League. “It’s easy for me to say we’re a great team and the squad’s great,” said Gerrard. “The hardest thing is to actually go out there and prove it on the pitch. I call the Premier League the bread and butter and I’m desperate for the title.”
Liverpool enjoyed some real success during the five years when Gerrard has been captain of the club?they’ve been to two Champions League finals and an FA Cup final, winning two out of three. But Gerrard believes he has learned more from being a captain “when things haven’t gone too well”.
“You learn more from bad experiences really. Bad defeats, going out of competitions or failing short in the league, as captain, I feel more responsible, particularly when we get beaten,” he said. “I remember all those experiences and learn from all of that.”
Gerrard grew up watching Liverpool. He joined the club’s youth academy as a school boy. He then had tryouts with various clubs at 14, including Manchester United, which he claimed in his autobiography (自传) was “to pressure Liverpool into giving me a contract.” He signed with the club in 1997.

China suffered a string of natural disasters this summer, including a massive mudslide that hit Zhouqu county, northwest China’s Gansu Province on Aug. 7 and, so far, resulted in about the deaths of 1,463 residents, and many others missing.
The terrible mudslide struck the area of Zhouqu causing lots of roads there ruined and great economic losses.Actually,in the hardest-hit areas,floods and mudslides have cut off roads,communications and power supply.
The Chinese Police Troops arrived immediately to rescue the villagers of the areas, doing their best to fight against the terrible disaster, supplying the villagers with fresh water and food.
After the disaster, some leaders of our country also inspected the mudslide-stricken Zhouqu county. Thousands of rescuers and medical staff are rushing to Zhouqu from many regions of China,bringing machines,disaster-relief materials and medicines to the country. After a long time efforts, everything went on very well, which is a sign of preliminary victory.
