    Recently, one of my best friends, whom I’ve shared just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we’ve both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other.
    Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self-destructive behavior. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn’t want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn’t believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.
    I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just couldn’t believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch of losers, especially her boyfriend.
    By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating, I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship，but I didn’t. I put the power of friendship to the final test. We’d been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.
    A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend. I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend.
    56. In the writer’s opinion, her friend ________.
    A. was a girl with no self-respect
    B. could find a better boyfriend
    C. was brave enough to stick to her own choice
    D. didn’t value the writer’s suggestion
    57. What did the writer worry about?
    A. She would lose the friendship with her.
    B. Her friend’s parents would be worried about their daughter.
    C. Her friend would get into great trouble with the boy.
    D. Her friend’s boyfriend would be in great trouble.
    58. We may leam from Paragraph 3 that the writer ________.
    A. didn’t want to go anywhere else
    B. hated her friend’s hanging with her boyfriend
    C. couldn’t believe that her friend’s choice was acceptable
    D. doubted that she could in any way help her friend
    59. What can be concluded from the passage?
    A. Friendship starting from childhood is not reliable.
    B. Friendship is a cure for any injury in life.
    C. Friendship should be everlasting once begun.
    D. Friendship can have magical power in life.

    三、阅读理解（共15 小题，30分）
    I like friends who share my happiness and sorrow,and who possess wings of their own and fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and help me to express my 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 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(失望) and I was in despair, but our friendship was based on the idea that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we felt awful at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and visited many wonderful places. We walked until our despair disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.
    For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters to each other 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(心理学家), who will only fill up the healing(愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.
    1. In the eighth grade, what did the author do while her classmates started developing proper social behavior?
    A. Become serious about her studies.      B. Went to her friend’s house regularly.  
    C. Learned from her claamates at school.   D. Wrote poems and stories with her friend.
    2. In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means “______”.
    A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us
    B. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London
    C. our unpleasant feelings about London disappeared
    D. we parted with each other in London
    3. According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend                .
    A. call each other regularly       B. have similar personalities
    C. write stories                 D. sometimes dream about each other
    4. In the darkest moments, the author wants to              .
    A. seek professional help         B. be left alone
    C. stay with her best friend       D. break the silence
    5. What is a good title for the passage?
    A. Unforgettable Experiences     B. Remarkable Imagination
    C. Lifelong Friendships            D. Noble Companions

    Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now，and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
    Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.
    Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.
    51. The main topic of the passage is ______.
    A. conditions in the work place            B. the freedom of industries in the past
    C. changes in industrial production       D. the safety and health of workers and customers
    52. It can be inferred from the passage that in the past ______.
    A. workers often got ill because of the poor working conditions
    B. companies were free to put out any products they wanted to
    C. many people were killed by dangerous products
    D. industries were as careful in management as they are today
    53. It is implied in the passage that ______.
    A. governments and companies had different opinions about the safety of products
    B. in the past no safety laws were introduced by governments
    C. government officials often did not listen to scientists
    D. governments paid no attention to the safety of products at all
    54. From the passage, we know that some years ago safety rules ______.
    A. were put forward due to scientists’ recommendations
    B. came into being as a result of the workers’ demands
    C. were introduced because quite a number of people were killed or seriously injured
    D. were effective enough to protect workers and customers
    55. The special departments protect customers and workers in many ways EXCEPT by ______.
    A. testing new products                       B. controlling the sale of products
    C. designing new products                   D. inspecting work places

    What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is it the same all over the world? That’s an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. Well, maybe. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource. Maybe that’s why they are fond of the expression, “Time is money.”
    Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to keep and manage it. People in the US often attend conferences or read books on time management. It seems they all want to organize their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners(计划书) — some in electronic form — to keep track of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to press more life out of their time.
    To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people’s time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually don’t try that at work.
    American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set time days or weeks in advance. Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to change it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will just “drop by” unannounced. Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 pm.
    Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time, like money, slips all too easily through our finger. And time, like the weather, is very hard to predict. However, time is one of life’s most precious gifts.
    小题1:The main idea of the passage is _______.
    A．time is moneyB．different attitude toward time in the world
    C．how to save timeD．how Americans treat time
    小题2:In the fourth paragraph, the writer mainly tells us that _________.
    A．Americans respect others’ time in daily life
    B．Americans seldom call after 10:00
    C．Americans inform before paying a visit to their friends
    D．when planning an event, Americans usually fix time ahead of time
    小题3:The underlined phrase “think twice” (in Paragraph 4) probably means “_______ “.
    A．think for a second timeB．be careful
    C．be afraidD．pay attention
    小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
    A．Americans like time better than anything else
    B．generally speaking, Americans respect their time
    C．on the whole, Americans treasure their time
    D．Americans consider their time is difficult to master and predict

    The beat generation mainly referred to the youth who were born and brought up around the Second World War. They showed their ignorance of almost everything traditional, such as government authority ,respect for parents, one’s duty, moral standards, and traditional customs. They developed a kind of absolute individualism and liberty. They preferred long hair, mini dresses or close fitting clothes to show off the figure. They advocated （倡导）freedom of sex and cohabitation (同居).Their influence could be seen from the fact that about one third of the American couples living together were not married by law. And the divorce rate was very high. The endless U.S wars abroad and sharp class struggle at home caused many American youths to develop a kind of cynicism. They doubted the existing social system, possibility of harmonious human relations, and the long honored standard for correct behavior. They felt society overlooked their needs. Therefore, they refused to do any duty that was required of them by society. They declared “Don’t believe anyone over thirty.” All this came from the sick society. It’s wrong to imagine they all fought against capitalism in support of revolutionary things. Some of their ideas were even more decadent (颓废的)and impractical. It was an abnormal phenomenon in an abnormal society.?
    72.Based on the passage, how many of one hundred and twenty American couples of the beat
    generation practiced cohabitation?       
    A. about 20 couples.             B. about 30 couples.
    C. about 60 couples.             D. about 40 couples.?
    73.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage??
    A. The beat generation’s refused to do any duty.?
    B. The beat generation was in support of almost everything traditional.?
    C. The beat generation believes no one except that he is over thirty.?
    D. The beat generation’s ideas were not impractical.?
    74.“Cynicism” in this passage most probably means____.?
    A. a state of mind against realism
    B. a state of mind doubting everything in existence?
    C. a theory advocating mutual help
    D. a theory advocating individualism?
    75..This passage is mainly about ____.?
    A. the young Americans
    B. the generation gap?

    A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you. 
    Peers can have a good effect on one another. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone’s reading it. 
    However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way. For example, one kid in school might try to get another to cut class with him, your soccer friend might try to persuade you to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him. Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don’t go along with the group. Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. The idea that “everyone’s doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind. 
    Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/ his mind from what she/ he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer－just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer! That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations. 
    It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better.
    68. What is the best title for this passage? 
    A. Peers have a good effect   B. Children give in to peer pressure
    C. Peer pressure is hard to resist    D. Peer pressure
    69. The underlined word “shoplift” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
    A. do some shopping     B. carry goods for shops 
    C. steal in shops            D. take the lift upstairs in shops
    70. The writer will NOT agree that ________.
    A. only children change their correct answers to incorrect ones because of peer pressure
    B. peers have an effect on one another
    C. peer pressure can be got rid of
    D. peers will believe in themselves if there are other peers who agree with them
    71. By writing the passage the writer intends to ________.
    A. tell people to follow other’s opinions
    B. warn people to stay away from their peers
    C. tell it is hard to walk away from pressure
    D. persuade people to do the right thing regardless of peer pressure

    Every country has its different customs when visiting other people's homes for a dinner party. It's important to know these before visiting a foreign country, so that you can avoid making embarrassing mistakes. Three people from different countries explain how to behave at a dinner party there.
    Masako, Japan
    The first thing to remember when visiting a Japanese home for dinner is that you should always dress correctly, as if going to the office. Casual wear is not appropriate. When you meet someone in Japan you should always bow. A deep bow is suitable for someone older or senior to you, while a short bow is suitable for younger people or your peers. Remember to take off your shoes when you enter the house. Always take a gift when you visit a Japanese home. Your host will expect it. It is important to arrive on time, and certainly not more than five minutes late. Don't sit down at the table until your host tells you where to sit. When you have finished eating and drinking, return your chopsticks to the chopstick rest, and do not finish your glass. If you do so, your host will pour more into the glass.
    Mamadou, Senegal
    Don't be surprised if there are only men or only women at your table when you go out to dinner in Senegal. Men and women sometimes eat separately in nay country. Wait until your host tells you where to sit. We normally sit on the floor to eat. First, everyone washes their hands in a washing basin. When the food comes it will be placed in front of you, and at first you will be offered food from the dishes by your host. Later you can serve yourself from the dishes, but make sure you do not lean over the food. Take food from the part of the bowl closest to you. Try a little of everything. It is polite to do so. Please make sure your feet do not touch the mat on which the food is placed.
    Luis, Spain
    Spanish dinner parties are great fun. We often start late in the evening and don't get up to leave until the small hours of the morning. I think you will enjoy going out to dinner in Spain. Firstly, never arrive on time. Fifteen or twenty minutes late is normal. Shake hands with your host, smile and look him in the eye. If he offers you a cup of coffee, be sure to accept it. Not to do so would be to reject your host' s kindness. A gift is not necessary, but will be welcomed. Food is served on individual plates, western-style, and is eaten with a knife and fork. Keep your hands where others can see them during the meal, but don' t put your elbows on the table. When you have finished, put your knife and fork at an angle on the plate. Try to finish your food if you can!
    72. What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?
    A. To introduce some customs in foreign countries.
    B. To tell stories about three people at dinner parties.
    C. To avoid making embarrassing mistakes when dining abroad.
    D. To show the importance of cultural awareness when travelling abroad.
    73. From Masako's explanation, we can know that in Japan _________.
    A. young people bow not so deeply as older or senior people
    B. old people don't have to bow to young people
    C. young people do not bow deeply to those of the same age
    D. all people should bow deeply to each other when they meet
    74. Which of the following should a guest in Senegal do when the food is served?
    A. Wait until the host asks him/her to eat.                  B. Don't eat until the host helps him/her.
    C. Help himself/herself to anything he likes.              D. Eat up the food from the closest plate.
    75. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. The Japanese sit on the floor and eat in front of a mat.
    B. The Senegalese sit on the floor and eat at a table.
    C. The Spanish sit at a table and eat with chopsticks.
    D. The Japanese sit at a table and eat with chopsticks.

    When we think about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, a top great delight.
    For a child, happiness has a magic quality. I remember playing police and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking part in the school play. Of course, kids also experience lows, but their delight at tops of pleasure is easily seen，such as winning a race or getting a new bike.
    For teenagers, or people under 20 the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love, and popularity. I can still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to. I also recall the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man.
    In adulthood the things that bring great joy—birth , love , marriage—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. Love may not last; loved ones die. For adults, happiness is complex.
    My dictionary explains “happy” as “lucky” or “ fortunate”, but I think a better explanation of happiness is “ the ability to enjoy something”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy for us not to notice the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to love where we please, and even good health. Nowadays, with so many choices and much pleasure, we have turned happiness into one more thing we have. We think we own the right to have it, which makes us extremely unhappy. So we try hard to get it and consider it to be the same as wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier.
    While happiness may be more complex for us, the answer is the same as ever. Happiness isn’t about what happens to us. It’s the ability to find a positive for every negative, and view a difficulty as a challenge. Don’t be sad for what we don’t have, but enjoy what we do possess.
    60. According to the passage, happiness lies in the ability to_______.
    A. think of something extraordinary   B. experience delight at an old age
    C. feel the magic quality of pleasure   D. enjoy what one has at the moment
    61. In paragraph 3, a teenager looks at happiness mainly in terms of_____.
    A. material gains                  B. social honor
    C. spiritual satisfaction            D. academic achievement
    62. The author implies that when one dreams wealth and finally gets it he____.
    A. can realize what happiness is    
    B. may not end up with happiness
    C. may consider it extreme happiness 
    D. should not feel content with himself
    63. The passage aims to tell_______.
    A. the great importance of happiness  B. the real meaning of happiness
    C. the constant dream of happiness    D. the changing concept of happiness
