    We rented our upstairs rooms to the out-of-town patients of Johns Hopkins Hospital. One evening, a bad-looking man, who was even shorter than my 8-year-old son, knocked at the door;  36 , his voice was pleasant as he said, “Good  37 . I come to see if you’ve a room.

    It all began as we were standing in front of the bathroom mirror, while I fixed Amanda's blonde hair.

    We volleyed back and forth a few favorite lines. “I love you more than peanut butter.” “Well, I love you more than television.” “I even love you more than bubble gum.” It was my turn again, and I made the move that usually brought victory. “I love you bigger than the universe!” On this day, however, Amanda was not going to give up.

    Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, “Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
    The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed(种子) and take care of it to make it grow.
    First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient(耐心). For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his best to help. To make a good friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
    But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.
    There are three steps to being friends again:
    Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.
    49  Sally wants to tell students the ways to_____.
    A  find friends       B  plant trees         C  get happy          D  keep fit

    A  buy a present for                                  B  never say a word to
    C  have dinner with                                   D  write a letter to
    52  What is the best title of the text?

    It is impossible to think about “growing up” in modern America without considering “youth culture” which every young person—even those who do not attend public schools—is confronted by and must deal with. It is impossible to be so isolated that we are untouched by the surrounding culture. Nor should we wish to be—as we are called to be—salt and light in a very confused and broken world. Popular culture deserves neither uncritical acceptance nor knee-jerk rejection, but thoughtful critique（批评）.
    On the contrary, China paid too little attention to youth culture in the past. However, with society developing, more and more people have realized the importance of analyzing, understanding and promoting youth culture.
    About 100,000 young Chinese people from all over the world will attend the first China Youth Culture Week scheduled to open Saturday in Shenzhen’s China Folk Culture Villages, a press conference was told Thursday.
    A series of cultural activities will be staged from Saturday to Wednesday, including a huge performance expected to challenge for a listing in the Guinness Book of World Records.
    About 10,000 young people will attend the opening ceremony Saturday. A final list of the Chinese Youth Idol Award to five outstanding young Chinese was announced at the conference. They are the country’s first astronaut, Yang Liwei, Chinese NBA star, Yao Ming, IT entrepreneur, Ding Lei, anchorperson, Wu Xiaoli, and Olympic Games gold medalist, Deng Yaping. The youth idols were selected by
    Chinese teenagers with 380,000 votes cast nationwide.
    During the past two months, the organizers received more than 3,000 applications from young people in Hong Kong and Macao who wanted to take part in the performance.
    52. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “confronted by”?
    A. Concerned about.        B. Thought of.  C. Confused with.    D. Faced with.
    53. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1?
    A. People can be isolated from the surrounding culture.
    B. The American youth accept popular culture without any thought.
    C. People shouldn’t refuse popular culture totally.
    D. Americans ignore cultures at all while growing up.
    54. The list of the five Chinese youth idols indicates that ____.
    A. success is considered the most important factor in the Chinese youth’s values
    B. the Chinese youth don’t care about their idols’ personalities
    C. there are only five people admired by the Chinese youth
    D. the parents want to set those people as examples
    55. What can we infer from this passage?
    A. America paid too much attention to youth culture.
    B. China pays more attention to youth culture nowadays.
    C. Chinese youth admire movie stars and regard them as their idols.
    D. America thinks their youth are more important than the Chinese youth.

        Homebuyers nationwide are watching housing prices going up, up, and up. “How high can they go?” is the question on everyone’s lips? “As long as interest rates stay around 5 percent, there’s no telling,” remarked one realtor in Santa Monica, California.
    “It’s crazy,” said Tim, who is looking for a house near the beach. “In 1993, I bought my first place, a two-bedroom condominium in Venice, for $70,000. My friends thought then that I was overpaying. Five years later, I had to move. I sold it for $230,000, which was a nice profit. Last year, while visiting friends here, I saw in the local paper that the exact same condo was for sale for $510,000!”
    It is a seller’s market. Homebuyers feel like they have to offer at least 10 percent more than the asking price. Donna, a new owner of a one-bedroom condo in Venice Beach, said, “That’s what I did. I told the owner that whatever anyone offers you, I’ll give you $20,000 more, under the table, so you don’t have to pay your realtor any of it. I was tired of looking.”
    Tim says he hopes he doesn’t get that desperate. “Whether you decide to buy or decide not to buy, you still feel like you made the wrong decision. If you buy, you feel like you overpaid. If you don’t buy, you want to kick yourself for passing up a great opportunity.”
    Everyone says the bubble(泡沫) has to burst sometime, but everyone hopes it will burst the day after they sell their house. Even government officials have no idea what the future will bring. “All we can say is that, inevitably, these things go in cycles,” said the state director of housing. “What goes up must come down. But, as we all know, housing prices always stay up a little higher than they go down. So you can’t lose over the long run. Twenty years down the road, your house is always worth more than you paid for it.”
    60．If Tim had sold his flat last year, he could have earned          .
    A．$ 510,000                B．$ 440,000                C．$ 280,000                D．$ 160,000
    61．Donna paid another $ 20,000 to the owner secretly because          .
    A．she felt like offering 10% more                    B．secret money made low price
    C．the owner asked for the money                  D．she was bored with bargaining
    62．We can infer from Tim’s words in paragraph 4 that           .
    A．homebuyers feel hesitate facing rising house prices
    B．buying a house is always a great opportunity
    C．homebuyers never make the right decision
    D．both sellers and buyers become desperate
    63．What is the author’s opinion about the housing bubble?          
    A．It is something everyone hates to see
    B．Only experts know when it will burst
    C．It is unavoidable in the regular circles
    D．It usually stays for about twenty years

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题3分，共60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
    Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Vi­olence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive(重温) these experiences in nightmares.                       
    Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories.
    In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body re­leasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research had suggested that only the emo­tional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
    The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war.
    They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions.” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve(减缓) a lot of that suffering.”
    But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we’d want to wipe those memories out.” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist (伦理学家).
    Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases, it would be­come more and more common.“People always have the ability to misuse science,” said Joseph LeDoux, a New York University memory researcher. “All we want to do is help people have better control of memories.”
    56. The underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to “_____.”
    A. the new drug                      B. the research into the drug
    C. the memory                        D. the chemical in the drug
    57. Which of the following is Not the opinion of the supporters?
    A.The pill can erase all the memories in the past.
    B.Some memories can ruin people's life. The pill can relieve emotional suffering.
    C. The pill can also help many other types of people who suffer from terrible memories.
    D. The pill can prevent or treat troubling memories in soldiers after war.
    58. Which of the following is Not the opinion of the opponents (反对者) ?
    A. Our memories give us our identity.
    B. The memories help humanity avoid mistakes of the past.
    C. The drug should be used in only very serious cases.
    D. People may not be sure whether they want to wipe the memories out.
    59. Which of the following statements might be the main idea of the text?
    A. People often suffer from bad memories.   
    B. The nightmares are terrible.
    C. Forget bad memories and be happy.
    D. The research has caused a heated argument.
