When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(light)me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.
When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:“Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.
When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair(disappointment)and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.
For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think:“Yes, I must tell….”We have never met.
It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist,who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

Twenty years ago,I drove a taxi for a living.I met  2l  people.But none touched me  22  than a woman I picked up late one night.
I received a call from  23 in a quiet part of town.When I arrived at 2:30 a.m.,the building was  24  except for a single light in a ground floor window.I  walked to the door and  25 .“Just a minute,”answered a  26 ,elderly voice.After a long pause,the door opened.A small woman  27  her 80s stood before me.Beside her was a small suitcase.I took it to the taxi.and then returned to  28 the woman.She took my arm and we walked  29  toward the roadside.
Seated,she gave me  30 .“I’m on my way to a hospice(临终关怀医院).I'm in no hurry.Can you drive through downtown?” I saw her eyes shining with  31 in the rearview mirror.“I don’t have any  32  left.”she continued.“The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
During the next two hours’ 33 , sometimes she asked me to  34 in front of a particular building or corner and she  35 stare into the darkness.When we got to the destination,she asked,“How much do I   36 you?” “Nothing,”I said.“You            37 make a living.”she answered.“I have  38  passengers,”I replied,and gave her a hug. She held onto me  39 .“You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,” she said.“Thank you.”
After that,I drove aimlessly,lost in thought.People usually believe that our lives center upon great moments.  40 great moments often catch us unaware,beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。
A
One night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other, I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second. I wondered whether he might be thinking, as I was, how dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. Though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.
Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works. At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.
As technology shrinks our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which saved thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring team action by police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates are not ours alone to control.
In my own life, I’ve put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as time has passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. so, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road, what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.
小题1:The author considers it very important ______.
A.to drive with a companyB.to have personal independence
C.to gain certain responsibilityD.to share trust and cooperation
小题2:The author said that they depended on each other in the same way because ______.
A.the approaching car was very dangerous
B.they both drove their car at a terrific speed
C.he might be killed out of the other’s careless driving
D.it was dark and the road was not wide enough
小题3:From the second paragraph, we know the author drew the important lesson from ______.
A.only one experience B.many similar experiences
C.a driver on a dark road D.many friends and strangers
小题4:The need for cooperation increases because ______.
A.peoples’ fates can’t be controlled by themselves
B.certain viruses can spread in a quick way
C.terrorism can happen everywhere and every day
D.the world has become much more dangerous
小题5: We can infer from the last paragraph that the author has ______.
A.believed in one’s own personal responsibility
B.counted upon himself alone in everything
C.had no trust in others’ good faith and judgment
D.had accomplished a change on his viewpoint of life

Hidden in our subconsciousness(潜意识)is a perfect mental picture.  We see ourselves on a long trip that goes across the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we think in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways,  of children waving at a crossing , of cattle feeding on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, or row upon row of corn and wheat, of flat lands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hills, of city skylines and village halls.
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination.  On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, condemning(谴责)the minutes for loitering(虚度)— waiting, waiting,  waiting for the station.
"When we reach the station, that will be it!”we cry. "When I’m 38." "When I buy a new 450SL Mercdes Benz!""When I put the last kid through college.""When I have paid off the debt!" "When I get a promotion.""When I reach the age of rement, I shall live happily ever after!"
Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream.It constantly outdistances us.
"Relish(appreciate) the moment" is a good motto,  actually it isn’t the burdens of today that drive man mad. It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, swim more rivers,  watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. Then the station will come soon enough.
小题1:
Why does the author describe the mental picture?
A.To lead us into a perfect world.B.To let people enjoy the scenery.
C.To introduce an actual trip of his.D.To compare it to our life’s journey.
小题2:
How do people feel when they’re on their trip?
A.Puzzled.B.Happy.C.Relaxed.D.Impatient.
小题3:
What does the author mean by "Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of
today" in Line 2 Paragraph 5?
A.Regret and fear are responsible for the loss of today.
B.We must be careful of the two thieves: regret and fear.
C.Regret and fear stop us from enjoying our present life.
D.We’re frequently challenged by the two: regret and fear.
小题4:
Why does the author write the passage?
A.To teach us a good lesson.
B.To tell us the right attitude to life.
C.To advise us to forget our worries.
D.To stop us wandering along the aisles.

Looking back on my childhood, I believe that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and my sisters soon gave up their flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do maths well.
Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I remember clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal clear memory of the dogs, farm animals, local birds, and above all, insects.
I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love for the natural world and my passion has led me into varied explorations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something brings these observations together in my mind. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books.
But curiosity, a keen (敏锐的)eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.
小题1:The first paragraph tells us the writer        .
A.was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood
B.lost his hearing when he was a child
C.didn’t like his brothers and sisters
D.was born into a naturalist’s family
小题2:The writer can’t clearly remember his relatives probably because        .
A.he didn’t live very long with them
B.the family was very large
C.he was too young when he lived with them
D.he devoted himself to observing nature
小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that the writer was        .
A.a scientist as well as a naturalist
B.not a naturalist but a scientist
C.only a born naturalist
D.first of all a scientist
小题4:According to the writer, a born naturalist should first of all be        .
A.good at mathsB.full of passion
C.knowledgeableD.self-controlled

The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light,I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff(东西) they call “books”.
I was going to have my examination the next day.  “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer,in fact, I dared not.
The clock struck twelve. “ Oh,dear!” I cried. “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one. I was quite desperate(绝望的)now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed,“Oh,God,please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards,Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later,with my head on the desk,I fell asleep.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的(A、B、C和D)四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
I was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”
“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning.
My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and when I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.
When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, there’s no telling what might have happened. A broken rib(肋骨)might have pierced(穿透)a lung...”
My mother may have said more, but I didn’t hear. I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day?
It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.
“Daddy… I am so sorry…”
“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’ll be okay. ”
“No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”
My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said. “Sweetheart, I don’t remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember kissing you goodnight the night before, though. ”He managed a weak smile.
My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.
小题1: The author was in bad mood that morning because _______.
A.his father had a terrible accident
B.he couldn’t drive to the mall with his friends
C.his friends hadn’t invited him to the cinema
D.his father didn’t allow him to go out with his friends
小题2:Why did the author say sorry to his father in the hospital?
A.Because he didn’t go along with his father.
B.Because he was rude to his father that morning.
C. Because he failed to come earlier after the accident.
D.Because he couldn’t look after his father in the hospital.
小题3: The reason why the author’s father said he forgot everything about that day is that _______.
A.he had a poor memoryB.he didn’t hear what his son said
C.he just wanted to comfort his sonD.he lost his memory after the accident
小题4: What lesson did Beck learn from the matter?
A.Don’t treat your parents badly.
B.Don’t hurt others with rude words.
C.Don’t move the injured in an accident.
D.Don’t be angry with friends at small things.
