One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?
Listen — Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.
Help them — If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.
Be there for them — Try to make something for your friend to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can’t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!
Make plans — Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you’ll remember these things when you’re all old!
1.While your friend is talking to you about his or her feelings, you should _____.
A. give him or her some advice
B. just listen unless asked
C. calm him or her down
D. share your feelings as well
2.When we provide help for our friends, we should _____.
A. try to do everything for them
B. put them before ourselves
C. change their bad habits first
D. ignore their faults
3.What can we learn from Marilyn Monroe’s words?
A. Life without a friend is death.
B. A friend is easier lost than found.
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
D. A man is known by his friends.

请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Homonym: a word that has the same spelling and the same pronunciation as another world, but a different meaning
Same spelling, different meaning
Imagine, then a situation where two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way, but have completely different meanings.Welcome to the world of homonyms.Take, for example, the word ‘fail’ --- it can be a kind of festival, and adjective to describe the color of your hair or how you should play a game.
Don’t take it literally
So how do you know which meaning someone is referring to? --- You don’t, except by the context.Obviously, if someone asks you to ‘give them a hand’, they don’t want you to remove what is at the end of your arm.
What’s in a name?
Sometimes even the context doesn’t help much --- the result can be amusing.These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun:
I used to be a banker, but I lost interest.
Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn’t control his pupils?
A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital.When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was, the nurse said: ‘No change yet’.
More ambiguity
And these examples play with the different meanings of a verb:
I wondered why the ball was getting bigger.Then it hit me.
No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation.
A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat.
Double trouble
And sometimes a word can be a noun and a verb, but have different meanings.Can you work this one out?
Time flies like an arrow.Fruit flies like a banana.
If you like these homonyms, you will be pleased to know that English has plenty more!
Explanations of jokes in the text
I used to be banker, but I lost interest.(I became bored with the job / I lost money)
Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn’t control his pupils? (students / parts of his eyes)
A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital.When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was, the nurse said: ‘No change yet’.(no difference in the situation / no money)
I wondered why the ball was getting bigger.Then it hit me.(the ball hit me / I suddenly realized)
No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation.(became known / fell out)
A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat.(can’t be better / difficult to mix with a fork)
Time flies like an arrow.(time goes quickly) Fruit flies like a banana.(insects enjoy eating fruit.)
1.Which of the following statements about homonyms is NOT true?
A.They share the same spellings regardless of meanings.
B.We can’t know their meanings without context.
C.We may still feel confused even with context.
D.Their ambiguity brings great trouble to our life.
2.The “beat” in the sentence “A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat, making for a satisfying breakfast.” has a similar meaning to _____.
A.The rain was beating down on the tin roof.
B.Taking the bus sure beats walking.
C.The doctor could feel no pulse beating.
D.You’ve been working too hard, you look dead beat.

Dear Dad,
Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father's Day cards.They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you.Yet as I selected and read,it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.
You'll soon be 84 years old,Dad,and you and I will have had 55 Father's Days together.I haven't always been with you on Father's Day but I've always been with you in my heart.
You know,Dad,there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap.You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.
The Father Daughter Duel shifted into high gear ( 档位) when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the '54 Chevy whether you liked it or not.The police officer who sent me home,after you reported the Chevy stolen,didn't have much tolerance for a stub?born 16 year old,while you were so tolerant about it,Dad,and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.
Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked,and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left.Somewhere along the line,the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together,rather like a fine wine.
But the strangest thing happened last week.I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car.It didn't immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car.It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere.Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.
I guess what I'm trying to say,Dad,is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today.Honoring a father on Father's Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking.It's about loving someone more than words can say,and it's wishing that never had to end.
I love you,Dad.
Love,
Jenny

Mary is digging in the ground for a photo, when along comes John.Seeing that there is no one in sight, John starts to scream.John’s angry mother rushes over and drives Mary away.Once his mum has gone, John helps himself to Mary’s potato.
We’ve all experienced similar annoying tricks when we were young—the brother who stole your ball and then got you into trouble by telling your parents you had hit him.But Mary and John are not humans.They’re African baboons(狒狒).__1.___
John’s scream and his mother’s attack on Mary could have been a matter of chance, but John was later seen playing the same tricks on others.__2.___
Studying behavior like this is complicated but scientists discovered apes(猿) clearly showed that they intended to cheat and knew when they themselves had been cheated.___3.___ An ape was annoying him, so he tricked her into going away by pretending he had seen something interesting.When she found nothing, she “walked back, hit me over the head with her hand and ignored me for the rest of the day.”
Another way to decide whether an animal’s behavior is deliberate is to look for actions that are not normal for that animal.A zoo worker describes how an ape dealt with an enemy.“He slowly stole up behind the other ape, walking on tiptoe.When he got close to his enemy, he pushed him violently in the back, then ran indoors.” Wild apes do not normally walk on tiptoe.___4.___ But looking at the many cases of deliberate trickery in apes, it is impossible to explain them all as simple copying.
It seems that trickery does play an important part in ape societies.____5.___ Studying the intelligence of our closest relative could be the way to understand the development of human intelligence.
A. In most cases the animal probably doesn’t know it is cheating.
B. An amusing example of this comes from a psychologist working in Tanzania.
C. And playing tricks is as much a part of monkey behavior as it is of human behavior.
D. So the psychologists asked his colleagues if they had noticed this kind of trickery.
E. The ability of animals to cheat may be a better measure of their intelligence than their use of tools
F. This use of a third individual to achieve a goal is only one of the many tricks commonly used by baboons.
G. Of course it’s possible that it could have learnt from humans that such behavior works, without understanding why.

"Tear them apart ! ""Kill the fool! Murder the referee(裁判)!”
These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let's not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotation(涵义)may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent” as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete(删除) it from sports terrors.
The dictionary meaning of the term "opponent" is "enemy"; "one who opposes your interests." Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may be the most important, and every action, no matter how rude, may be considered acceptable. I remember an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough. The player started to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then shouted, "Are they wet enough now?"
In the heat of battle players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences(后果) that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also seen a player reacting to his opponent's intentional and illegal blocking by deliberately(故意地) hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which goes against normal behavior.
Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated(提升)the game to the level where it belongs, thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term "opponent" with "associate" could be an ideal way to start.
The dictionary meaning of the term "associate" is" colleague", "friend", "companion". Think about it! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term "associate" rather than "opponent".
1.Which of the following statements best expresses the author's view?
A. Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences.

2.Harsh words are spoken during games because the players _______.

B. are usually short-tempered and easily offended
C. cannot afford to be polite in fierce competition
D. treat their rivals(对手) as enemies
3.What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?
A. He refused to continue the game.
B. He angrily hit the referee with a ball.
C. He claimed that the referee was unfair.
D. He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt.
4.The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by _______.
A. calling on players to use clean language on the court
B. raising the referee's sense of responsibility
C. changing the attitude of players on the sports field
